Fully automated · instant
Paste a listing. Read the report on screen.
Property Check and Car Check run entirely on their own. The listing is read, the stated facts are separated from the gaps, Portuguese taxes and documents are matched to it, and the official portals where you verify each point are linked directly.
Property Check — instant
Paste a property listing and the report appears live: what the listing states, what is missing, the taxes and costs involved, the questions for the seller or agent, and direct links to the tax and land registry portals.
Car Check — instant
Paste a used-car listing and the report appears live: what is stated, the documents and history that are missing, the costs that follow, the questions for the seller, and direct links to the vehicle registry and IMT.
Every report is free during our public beta, and the analysis happens on the page. We never declare a property or car a good or bad purchase, never guarantee the condition of a vehicle, and never replace a lawyer, surveyor or mechanic.
Free public beta
Every tool and guide, free to use.
Property Check, Car Check, the Health Report, the cost calculator and all interactive guides are open to everyone.
Car, Property and Health checks
