Independent Mortgage Lawyers in the Algarve

At Labroinha Law Office, we understand the challenges foreigners face when dealing with the Portuguese legal system. That’s why we offer legal services in English ensuring that our international clients feel fully informed and protected.

Unlike mortgage brokers or bank-affiliated consultants, Labroinha Law Office provides independent legal advice, working solely in your best interest. We make sure your Portuguese mortgage is both lawful and aligned with your goals — with no hidden traps. Most Portuguese banks offer mortgages of up to 60–70% of the property’s value, even for foreign buyers. But the process involves complex paperwork and legal risks. With our legal guidance, you can understand every clause in your mortgage agreement, avoid unfair terms or unexpected fees, fulfill all legal conditions for loan approval, sign remotely or with full representation.
