Short answer
You will need identification (passport or residence permit), a Portuguese tax number (NIF), and proof of address. The seller must provide the property's title deed, land registry certificate, tax records, and energy certificate. For non-residents, a fiscal representative may be required. Always verify the latest requirements with a local lawyer or notary, as rules can change.
