Why Urbanis

The hard part is the process: many professionals and no shared plan.

Buying, selling, relocating, renovating or managing property involves many moving parts. When brokers, lawyers, banks, architects, engineers, contractors and managers are not coordinated, the client is left chasing updates, connecting details and carrying the stress.Property journeys involve many moving parts. When they are not coordinated, the client is left chasing updates, details and decisions.

Questions

Answers before you ask.

Straight answers about how Urbanis works, before you commit to anything.

Ask something else
01Who is Urbanis?

Urbanis is a property ecosystem in Portugal. It coordinates real estate, relocation, investment, legal, finance, design, engineering, construction and property management into one structured process, through one relationship.

02Is Urbanis only a real estate agency?

No. Licensed brokerage (AMI 24596) is one of nine routes. The others, from relocation to engineering, are run by Urbanis staff or selected partners and coordinated by Urbanis.

03Who does Urbanis work with?

Private clients, investors, companies, contractors and partners, in Portugal and abroad.

04Where does Urbanis operate?

From a base in Porto, with clients and projects across Portugal. Cascais and Lisbon are next.

05Do I have to manage the professionals myself?

No. One relationship replaces a fragmented supplier chain. Urbanis coordinates selected professional partners, and you keep a single point of contact.

06How do I start?

Send the form or message Urbanis on WhatsApp. Tell us what you are trying to do in Portugal, and we will guide you to the right next step.

07Do I need a lawyer to buy property in Portugal?

Not by law. A purchase can be signed as a deed before a notary, as an authenticated private document prepared by a lawyer or solicitor, or at a state Casa Pronta counter (source: gov.pt). Urbanis still recommends independent legal review for every international buyer, and the Legal route coordinates it as part of your process.

08Can foreigners get a mortgage in Portugal?

Yes, non-residents can apply for a mortgage from Portuguese banks. Banco de Portugal's rules cap loans at 90% of the property value for a permanent home and 80% for other purposes, such as a second home, and since August 1, 2026 monthly debt payments should not exceed 45% of net income (sources: Banco de Portugal notice to the ESRB, ECO). Each bank sets its own terms for non-residents. The Finance route connects you with options suited to your situation.

09Do I need a NIF to buy property in Portugal?

Yes. You need a Portuguese tax number (NIF), issued by the Tax Authority, to pay the purchase taxes and sign the deed (source: gov.pt). Urbanis helps arrange it early, so it never delays your transaction.

10What costs should I budget for beyond the purchase price?

Property transfer tax, stamp duty, and notary and registration fees, in addition to the price itself. Exact amounts depend on the property and your situation: the Finance and Legal routes give you real numbers before you commit. Our guide to buying costs in 2026 breaks them down with sources.

11How long does buying property in Portugal typically take?

It varies with the property and your situation, from a few weeks for a straightforward cash purchase to longer for financed or investment transactions. Urbanis gives you a realistic timeline once your process starts.
