Match each work on the seller's list to the paper it should have left. Your lawyer reads it; the inspection checks the building.
| Work done | Ask for | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Wall removed or opening made | Stability project and termo de responsabilidade, or the licence or comunicação prévia if one was used | Interior works affecting stability are exempt only with both documents (RJUE Art. 6.º n.º 1 b)) |
| Extension, closed terrace, enclosed pergola | The licence or comunicação prévia, and the approved or submitted plans | Changes the area and exterior the documents describe |
| Bathroom or kitchen moved | Contractor invoice, plumbing and waterproofing details, photos taken during the works | New wet areas are where leaks start |
| Windows or roof covering replaced | Invoice and date; start-of-works notice to the câmara | Some replacements are minor works, still notified (Art. 6.º-A, Art. 80.º-A) |
| Attic or basement made habitable | The licence or comunicação prévia; ventilation and stair details | A change in use of space is rarely a finish-only job |
