Buying Property In A Foreign Market Carries Inherent Risks
ESPECIALLY AS SELLERS ARE NOT REQUIRED TO DISCLOSE DEFECTS

Data from Portugal's National Institute of Statistics (INE) shows that over 35.8% of residential buildings in Portugal require repairs, ranging from minor maintenance to severe structural damage. The national housing stock breakdown reveals:
21.8% require light repairs
9.4% require medium repairs
4.6% need major structural intervention
Over 12% of the housing stock stands vacant, with a significant portion of them requiring substantial rehabilitation. The cost of addressing hidden defects after purchase can be financially devastating.
"Decree-Law" Decreto-Lei n.º 10/2024, de 8 de janeiro (DL 10/2024) was a reform that transferred 100% of undisclosed (disclosures are NOT mandatory here in Portugal) defect liabilities to the buyer, without a dated inspection report, the responsibility of proving hidden defects (Art. 342 of the Código Civil) would fall back on you, the buyer.
