Buy Land and Build in Portugal

Before buying land in Portugal, review the applicable municipal and territorial plans, land classification, planning parameters, registered title, access, services, and any RAN, REN, heritage, easement, or other constraints with qualified local advisers. The PDM is central, but it must be read together with the rules and overlays that apply to the specific plot. As in Spain, cadastral and registry records are only part of the review. A site that looks suitable may still have little or no building capacity.
