Will your new-build property actually be completed?
This is one of the most common questions we get from our clients. In this Reel, we explain why the risk of an unfinished development in Portugal is relatively low — and which issues buyers are more likely to face.
☝🏻 The key takeaway: The odds are generally in the buyer’s favour in Portugal. The risk of a development turning into a never-ending construction project is relatively low.
However, the earlier you buy into a development, the more important it is to check the documentation, purchase terms and the developer’s track record.
