Why Urbanis

The problem is not the property. It is the process.

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.

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. Each route, from relocation to engineering, is a specialisation with its own dedicated team, 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 the right next step.

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

Portuguese law does not require a lawyer at the deed itself, but Urbanis recommends independent legal review for every international buyer. The Legal route coordinates this as part of your process.

08Can foreigners get a mortgage in Portugal?

Yes, non-residents can generally access financing in Portugal, though terms differ from those for residents. The Finance route connects you with options suited to your situation.

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

Yes. A Portuguese tax number (NIF) is required before any property purchase. Urbanis helps arrange this 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.

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.
