Short answer
Check that the property has legal, year-round access and that boundaries are clear. In the Azores, land cleaning is important due to vegetation and fire risk; confirm who is responsible and any local rules. Also verify if the access is public or private and if there are any shared costs. Ask the seller for recent land cleaning records and check with the local municipality.
