Solicitor price error on deeds What action can I take

Looks to me that more and more non-Portuguese people are considering buying property in Portugal. However, as many of such people also know, Portugal is a very bureaucratic, hugely red tape country. Can anyone point to a solicitor or whoever who might be able to enlighten and answer such queries e.g. stamp duty, property tax. taxes on death, horse-trading with auctioneers etc? 

Just wondered if there was furniture included in the overall price as I understand it is common to make an inflated charge for that situation. 

Thanks for taking the time to  reply. I understand what you are saying but the furniture had already been factored in. 

The property was bought for 140k but the sum of 70 k was entered on the deeds so when I sold st 265 k I had a huge cgt due to the 70 k being the price the solicitor had put on the deeds she doesn’t want to know and has refused to see me so I need to know the process to claim professional negligence against her. Any thoughts?? Louise 

Perhaps engage another lawyer to fight your case.  I am guessing you can prove the transfer of funds to the seller? 

I'm not sure you can do anything about that, I'm afraid. In that, you must have been given a copy of this with the breakdown of the payment at the time and presumably if you agreed to it any signed your agreement, that is final. I may be wrong, no harm in asking a second solicitor for their opinion but it does seem to me quite common to break the payment down so the capital gains tax is less for the person selling. So it may have been intentional, not an error. 

So if I am understanding this right, it may be your brother you need to discuss this with, because he would have underpaid capital gains tax on the share he sold to you because of the way the money was categorised? Apologies if I have got this all wrong.

if you do go to see another solicitor I would advise being very polite about it all and certainly not accusing your previous solicitor of negligence, just ask for advice. Because in my opinion a lawyer is unlikely to want to deal with a case that might be against one of their colleagues.
