Hi,
I am in the porcess of buying a property in Tavira. We have found a property (3year old townhouse) the funds are inplace and we are using the estate agents reccomended portugese solicitor. Now they are asking for the deposit to be paid for the promissory and we hope to complete 3 weeks later.
However we have not been asked to sign anything. And we have not given signed written power of attorney to the solicitors, yet they say that they will do everyting on our behalfs.
Is this usual or are we being missinformed as in the UK signatures are needed, as we obviously dont want to send over a large sum of money and find that we dont actualy own anything.
thanks in advance,
