In short

Luznur Capital acts for owners selling buildings and land in Portugal privately: vacant and tenanted buildings, mixed-use and commercial buildings, and land with or without an approved project. Each property is presented individually to qualified buyers, without portals or public marketing, and nothing is shared with a buyer without the owner's approval.

The Demand

Buyers are looking for buildings to turn into homes.

In Portugal's main cities, demand for housing continues to run ahead of new supply. Investors and developers are buying whole buildings to convert into apartments, and land where new homes can be built. For an owner, that means a well-located building or plot can find a serious buyer without ever going to market.

Whole buildings

Buyers want the whole building, so that it can be converted and sold or let as separate apartments.

Vacant possession

Most of our current buyers prefer buildings free of tenants, which shortens their path to starting works.

Certainty on planning

An approved project, or a favorable prior opinion from the council, saves a buyer time and can support the price.

Why Discretion Matters

Why owners sell buildings quietly.

A building on the portals is seen by everyone at once: tenants, neighbors, other owners in the family, and every developer looking for a discount.

A private sale keeps the process between the owner, a short list of qualified buyers, and the advisors on each side, until the owner decides otherwise.

Tenants

News of a sale unsettles tenants before anything is decided. How and when they are told is planned with your lawyers.

Families and co-owners

Inherited buildings often have several owners. The sale can be prepared quietly while everyone agrees.

Low offers

A public listing draws speculative approaches. A private process brings fewer, better-qualified buyers.

The price

A building that sits on the open market becomes the building that did not sell. A private process protects the asking price.

What We Sell, and to Whom

Buildings and land, matched to the right buyer.

Properties we work with

Vacant buildings

Whole buildings, from period buildings in the historic centers to more recent ones, ready for conversion.

Buildings with tenants

Sold with care for the tenancies in place, and with your lawyers involved from the start.

Mixed-use and commercial buildings

Offices, shops and warehouses where a change of use to housing may be possible.

Land

Urban land for residential development, with or without an approved project, from Lisbon and the north to the Algarve.

Beyond the briefs

Buyers in our network and through partner firms, matched to each property individually rather than broadcast.

Preparing the Sale

What a buyer will ask for.

None of this is needed to start a conversation. It is what serious buyers request once there is interest, and we help assemble it into a confidential memorandum. Where it helps, we can introduce an architect to assess what the building or plot could become.

Title and registration

The land registry certificate and the tax record, showing who owns the property and any charges on it.

Licensing

The use license for a building; for land, its classification in the municipal plan.

Areas

Gross construction area, plot area, number of floors and, for land, the buildable area.

Occupancy

Vacant or let, and for each tenancy, the lease, the rent and its remaining term.

Condition

The state of the structure, roof and systems, and any works already done or required.

Planning potential

Any prior opinion, approved project or architect's study showing what could be built.

Legal and tax questions, including tenants' rights, the agreement of co-owners or heirs, whether the sale is of the company or of the property, and the tax on the gain, are for the owner's own lawyers and tax advisors. We coordinate with them throughout.

How It Works

From first conversation to the deed, in five stages.

01

A private conversation

Your objectives, your timing, and who must not hear of the sale. Nothing is committed at this stage.

02

Positioning

A pricing view grounded in comparable evidence and the property's potential, written as a confidential memorandum.

03

The mandate

A mediation contract with our licensed brokerage, with the off-market commitment written in: no portals and no public photographs.

04

Private marketing

Qualified buyers see the property only with your approval, under NDA when required.

05

Negotiation and completion

We negotiate on your behalf and coordinate due diligence through to the deed, alongside your lawyers.

Questions owners ask

Can I sell a building in Portugal without it being advertised?

Yes. In an off-market sale, the building is never listed on a portal or marketed publicly. It is presented individually to qualified buyers, and only with your approval.

Do you have buyers for buildings and land?

Yes. Three briefs are active: an institutional client acquiring vacant buildings in Lisbon, Cascais and Oeiras, and vacant buildings or land in Porto and Braga, to convert or develop into apartments; and a separate client for buildings or land up to €2 million across the same cities. We also have buyers for buildings and land in the Algarve, in Almancil, Loulé, Faro, Tavira and Vila Real de Santo António. See the buyer briefs.

Can I sell a building with tenants?

Yes. Most of our current buyers prefer vacant buildings, but tenanted buildings can be sold. Tenants' rights, including any right of first refusal they may have, are reviewed with your lawyers before the building is presented.

Do I need an approved project to sell land?

No. Land can be sold with or without one. A favorable prior opinion from the council or an approved project usually makes the sale easier and can support the price, and we can introduce an architect to assess what could be built.

The building belongs to several heirs. Can it still be sold?

Yes, with the agreement of all the co-owners. The sale can be prepared quietly while the family aligns, and the legal side is handled by your lawyers.

What do I need to send first?

The location, whether it is a building or land, the approximate areas, whether it is vacant or let, the licensing stage, and your price guidance if you have one. Please don't send confidential documents at first contact.

Is the property sold directly, or through a company?

Either can apply, and the choice has legal and tax consequences for both sides. It is decided with your lawyers and tax advisors. We coordinate with them throughout.

Who can contact you about a sale?

The owner, an heir or co-owner, or the owner's lawyer, family office or advisor acting directly for them. We do not accept submissions from third-party agents.

A Conversation

Discuss a sale in confidence.

A line on the property, the city and your timing is enough to begin. Inquiries from a lawyer, family office or advisor acting for an owner are handled with the same discretion as the owner's own.

An NDA for off-market properties

If the property is not publicly listed, ask in your message and we send an NDA for signature before you share any details.

No documents at first contact

We ask for them only once there is a reason to.

No obligation

Nothing is committed until a mandate is signed.
