We don't make the decision for you. We make the decision clearer. This page sets out exactly what that means, and what it does not.

1. What Portugal Decide is

Portugal Decide is an independent research and decision-support platform for people buying, moving, living, investing or handling administrative matters in Portugal. We gather information, structure it, show what is missing, and point to the official source where each point can be confirmed.

Everything on this website, including automated reports and comparisons, is general informational content. It is not advice, and it is not tailored professional guidance for your individual circumstances.

2. What Portugal Decide is not

  • Not a real-estate agency, property developer, buyer's agent or valuer.
  • Not a car dealership, vehicle trader, or mechanical inspection service.
  • Not a law firm, solicitor or notary.
  • Not a tax consultancy or accountancy practice.
  • Not an insurance broker, insurance intermediary or insurer.
  • Not a medical provider and not a source of medical advice or diagnosis.
  • Not a relocation agency, immigration adviser or financial adviser.

3. Limits of our reports and tools

Our automated Property Check and Car Check reports are produced from the listing content and the details you supply. They are not a valuation, survey, structural or legal due-diligence report, title investigation, or mechanical inspection, and they do not verify the accuracy or honesty of a third-party listing.

We never state that a specific property or vehicle is a good or bad purchase, and we give no opinion on price fairness, investment merit or the condition of any asset.

Our health content explains how the public system and private products work in general terms. It never recommends a product, and cover is determined exclusively by the policy conditions issued by the insurer.

4. Always verify with the official source

Requirements, taxes, fees, deadlines and document lists in Portugal change and vary by situation, municipality and region. Before you act, you must confirm anything material on the relevant official Portuguese government or institutional website, or with a licensed professional.

Our links to official portals are provided so you can do exactly that. We do not control those websites and are not responsible for their content or availability.

5. Where a professional is required

Some matters require a licensed professional in Portugal and cannot be substituted by research: legal title and contracts, tax positions, residency and immigration filings, insurance suitability, medical questions, structural surveys and mechanical inspections.

Where our content identifies that a professional is required, engage one. Choosing not to is your decision and your risk.

6. No guarantees

We make no representation or warranty, express or implied, that the information on this website is complete, accurate, current or fit for a particular purpose, and we do not guarantee any outcome, saving, approval, timeline or result.

We do not invent testimonials, client numbers, partnerships, certifications, awards, statistics or qualifications, and we do not claim endorsement by any public institution.

7. Your responsibility and limitation of liability

You are solely responsible for your decisions, payments, signatures and commitments. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Portugal Decide is not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental or consequential loss arising from use of this website, its automated reports, its comparisons or its links.

Nothing in this disclaimer limits any right you have under mandatory Portuguese or European Union consumer law.

8. Third parties

We are independent and do not accept payment from sellers, agents, dealers, insurers or lenders to influence our content. Where a third party is named, it is for identification or verification only.

Any dealings you have with a seller, agent, dealer, insurer, professional or institution are entirely between you and them.
