Public Notice Issued for €450,000 Rustic Land Sale in Mafra, Triggering Pre-emption Rights
A formal legal communication has been publicly issued concerning the sale of a rustic property in Casal da Amoreira, Mafra, for a total price of €450,000. The notice serves to inform owners of adjacent properties of their legal right of first refusal, or 'direito de preferência', as stipulated under articles 416 and 1380 of the Portuguese Civil Code. This procedure was initiated because the sellers were unable to personally notify all legally recognized preference holders.
The property in question is the 'Prédio Rústico, denominado CASAL DA AMOREIRA', registered at the Mafra Land Registry under number 7769. The sellers are identified as Ana Paula Gomes Dias Martins, José Antonio Dias, and Maria João Gomes Dias Lopes. The intended buyer is the company Aldeia Eclética – Unipessoal, Lda., which has agreed to purchase the property consisting of mato (scrubland), arable culture, and pine forest.
The terms of the proposed sale dictate a total price of four hundred and fifty thousand euros. The payment structure involves an initial deposit of €22,500, a further reinforcement of the deposit amounting to €22,500 within 90 days from May 28, 2025, and the final payment of €405,000 upon the signing of the final deed. The deadline for the completion of the sale is set for November 24, 2025. The notice clarifies that the property is being sold in its current condition, with all associated costs and taxes of the transaction to be borne by the buyer.
This public announcement is a mandatory legal step under Portuguese law, specifically Law nº 111/2015 and Portaria nº 219/2016, which govern land transactions and pre-emption rights. According to the notice, the legal preferentes—owners of the confining properties—have a period of eight days from the date of the notice's publication to exercise their right to acquire the property under the exact same financial conditions. Failure to act within this timeframe results in the forfeiture of this right, allowing the sale to proceed with the original buyer.
This legal mechanism is designed to promote the consolidation of landholdings, a long-standing principle in Portuguese rural land management. The publication of such notices in local journals ensures transparency and adherence to the legal framework.
