Your review found issues. Now make them part of the negotiation.
You had the CPCV reviewed. Or due diligence found missing documents. Or the technical inspection showed defects. Now the question is not what is wrong. The question is who will ask the seller to fix it before you sign or pay. A Portuguese lawyer turns review findings into clear negotiation points and communicates with the seller, agent or seller's lawyer on your behalf.
- Lawyer-led negotiation
Why this matters
A legal review is useful. But it does not change the contract by itself.
Someone still needs to say: this clause must change, this document must be provided, this deadline is not realistic, this defect must be addressed, this deposit should be protected.
That is what this service is for.
What we can negotiate
Review findings turned into negotiation points
- 01
Deposit / sinal
Lower deposit, clearer refund conditions, payment after documents, deposit treatment if financing fails, and protection if seller documents are missing.
- 02
Mortgage clause
Financing condition, bank refusal wording, valuation risk, document delays, deadline extension and refund under agreed conditions.
- 03
Documents
Certidão Predial, Caderneta Predial, Energy Certificate, use or licensing documents, condominium documents, seller company documents, POA documents and mortgage-cancellation documents.
- 04
Repairs and defects
Repairs before signing or completion, technical inspection condition, seller repair obligation, retention, price adjustment and written defect acknowledgement.
- 05
Deadlines
More time before CPCV, bank approval, seller documents or final deed, and extension where seller delays documents.
- 06
Buyer protection
Seller default, withdrawal rights, document conditions, completion conditions, refund mechanics and final payment conditions.
This is for you if
- your CPCV has already been reviewed
- due diligence found missing documents
- inspection found defects
- the seller promised repairs but nothing is written
- the mortgage clause is weak
- the deposit is high
- the deadlines are short
- the agent says it is standard but you are not comfortable
- you want one focused lawyer-led negotiation round
This is targeted negotiation after review. It is not full transaction management.
What we do not try to do
Good negotiation is not asking for everything. We separate must-have, should-have, nice-to-have, commercial decision and accepted risk.
A strong negotiation is focused. It protects the buyer without turning the whole transaction into noise.
What you receive
Depending on the case, you may receive:
- negotiation-point list
- proposed amendments
- message to the seller side
- lawyer-to-lawyer communication
- review of seller response
- short residual-risk comments
- practical recommendation on next step
The output should answer whether the seller accepted enough for you to proceed.
How it works

- 02A Portuguese lawyer identifies the negotiation points.
- 03We prepare clear comments or proposed wording.
- 04We communicate with the seller’s side within the agreed scope.
- 05We review the response and explain what remains.
