What to verify
- Whether the building is urban, rustic, mixed, or legally residential.
- Water, septic, electricity, and road access.
- Planning restrictions for rural land.
- Heat, insulation, shading, and cooling requirements.
Renovation risks
Rural Alentejo properties may need roof work, damp treatment, borehole checks, septic upgrades, and boundary review.
Practical advice
Confirm documents before falling in love with land. A beautiful ruin is only useful if it can legally become the home you want.
