Chartered Surveyors in Portugal

When you purchase a property in the United Kingdom it is common practice to commission a survey of the property using a chartered surveyor. Indeed most, if not all, mortgage lenders in the UK insist on having a survey completed before a sale can be processed.

In Portugal things are slightly different. Most Portuguese people do not use chartered surveyors and purchase properties without having any in depth studies carried out on them. Generally if a mortgage is proposed for a restored property most banks will instruct an engineer to carry out a survey, though these are not as in-depth as those in the UK.

Having said this there are chartered surveyors in Portugal and should you want to commission a survey this is possible. They will assess the property and give you a written report, however this will most likely be in Portuguese.

If you are considering purchasing a property and would like advice on the cost of renovations and repairs required before buying it sometimes is a good idea to find a reputable builder and his engineer. They could assess the property and give in real terms a report of the work required and an estimate of the costs to carry out these repairs.
