Navigating Unexpected Turns: Selling an Apartment in Coimbra

Client Study – Goldcrest

Client Background

Our clients, a couple from Bermuda, were captivated by the charm of Portugal, specifically the historic city of Coimbra. Drawn by its rich culture and serene lifestyle, they decided to invest in a newly constructed apartment with the intention of relocating to Portugal in the future. However, life took an unexpected turn, and they decided to move to the UK instead. Maintaining the apartment in Portugal no longer aligned with their plans, leading them to the decision to place the property back on the market before its construction was even complete. 

 

Our Approach

Partner Collaboration

We leveraged our strong partnerships in Coimbra to identify potential buyers interested in assuming the contractual position for the apartment purchase.

Developer Coordination

Engaged proactively with the developer to ensure the contractual change was acceptable and all terms were clearly communicated.

Legal Expertise

Introduced the clients to experienced lawyers who meticulously analyzed the tax implications of the sale and structured the transaction to minimize financial losses.

Targeted Promotion

Created a marketing plan tailored to highlight the apartment’s potential and appeal despite its incomplete status.

The Solution

Through a combination of diligent efforts and trusted partnerships, we successfully secured a buyer within two months. The new buyer was aligned with the unique conditions of the transaction, and the developer’s approval for the contractual transfer was obtained without delays. Additionally, the legal team’s guidance ensured the transaction was seamless and optimized to reduce financial impact for the clients. 

 

 

About The Area

 

Coimbra, known as Portugal’s city of knowledge, is a hub of history, education, and culture. The apartment’s location was particularly appealing due to its proximity to the city’s vibrant community and its reputation as a desirable place for families and retirees.

Combining urban amenities and serene surroundings, Coimbra remains a magnet for international buyers.
