Many estate agents have set up shop on Algarve, concentrates on their own goals, instead of the client’s real goals and needs.

e) NEGOTIATION AND COMPLETION
As a buyer preparing to make an offer on a villa or apartment in the Algarve, there are some useful rules to attend:
You should discuss your proposal with your Algarve real estate agent. We advise you to make your offer formally in writing. Your offer should include the price you propose to pay and the terms and conditions of the purchase. For example, if the seller verbally agrees to special terms of payment, that should be recorded in the written offer.

Send us (by e-mail, by fax) your written offer and we will pass it to the vendor. On their approval we will call you immediately, and ask you for details of your lawyer.

If you have not yet chosen a lawyer, we will be able to recommend certain firms to you.
Once your offer has been accepted, you will be asked to pay a holding deposit. This ensures the property is considered “sold subject to contract” and that the vendor takes the property off the market.

During the purchase of your property in the Algarve we will assist you through the process step by step, going with you to the public notary office to sign the title deeds and complete our paperwork on your Algarve property purchase.
Completion usually takes place about one month if a bank loan is required.
