Reservation Document Review
A reservation document can involve payment obligations, deadlines and conditions that should be understood before proceeding.
What a reservation review can look at
- amount requested;
- purpose of payment;
- refund conditions;
- deadlines;
- relationship with the future CPCV;
- conditions affecting the reservation;
- identity of the parties;
- transaction-specific wording.
The appropriate scope depends on the property and the transaction.
Why reservation terms vary
Reservation documents are not standardised in Portugal. Two documents using the same name can allocate risk, deadlines and refunds very differently.
Frequently asked questions
Reservation documents can be reviewed as part of an accepted engagement. The applicable scope depends on the document and the transaction.

No. Submitting a request allows the transaction to be reviewed. A legal engagement arises only if the matter is accepted and the scope and terms are agreed.
