Legal disclaimer

This disclaimer sets out the status of everything published on Develop in Portugal, including the relationship with Valente Veiga & Associados (VVA).

No legal advice

The guides, phases, licensing stages and tools are general information about how development works in Portugal. They are not advice on your site, your scheme or your contract.

Reading this site, using a tool or asking the assistant a question does not create a lawyer-client relationship with VVA. That relationship begins only with a signed engagement.

Indicative figures

Costs, yields, timelines and taxes shown on this site are indicative ranges for early screening. Actual figures depend on the municipality, the site, the design, procurement and the date of the transaction.

Local variation

Planning rules are set municipality by municipality through the master plan and local instruments, and sector rules apply on top. Two neighbouring plots can carry very different constraints.

Third-party links

Where we link to public bodies or third parties, we do not control their content and are not responsible for it.
