HALF OF THE USUFRUCT OF A HOUSE

HALF OF THE Usufruct of the urban property situated in Ilha, at Rua da Fonte, no. 8, Água Formosa, consisting of a two-storey dwelling house and backyard, with a total area of 1,500 m2, of which the covered area is 287.84 m2 and the uncovered area 1,212.16 m2. Described under no. 1188, of the parish of Ilha, in the Land Registry Office of Pombal and registered in the urban property tax register under article 2602 of the Union of Parishes of Guia, Ilha and Mata Mourisca.

The property for sale is solely the right to HALF of the usufruct over the property in question, belonging to Maria Isabel Ferreira Soares, whose property is occupied by the same judgment debtor/usufructuary/faithful depositary and with whom viewings must be arranged.
By submitting a bid, the interested party is presumed to be aware that they are not acquiring the property but a right.
Furthermore, they are presumed to have inspected the property and to know its characteristics, and no liability is accepted for its state of repair.
Failure to carry out this verification by the bidder does not, under the law, result in the annulment of the sale.
The usufructuary Maria Isabel Ferreira Soares was born in 1975, and the usufructuary of the remaining half is insolvent.
For the judicial acquisition of the property in question, only bids submitted to the enforcement agent will be considered valid, and the agent bears no responsibility for any transaction that bidders carry out or intend to carry out with other entities or even with the usufructuaries/judgment debtors.
Once the bid is accepted, the bidder is notified to deposit the price offered within 15 days, as well as to pay the taxes due (article 824º no. 2 of the Civil Procedure Code).
If they fail to do so, they incur the sanctions provided for in art. 825º of the C.P.C., namely the seizure of the defaulting bidder's own assets and the initiation of criminal proceedings.
Pursuant to no. 6 of article 833º of the Civil Procedure Code, this sale is exempt from the presentation of the utilisation licence for the property, the energy certificate and the dwelling technical sheet, and therefore it is the buyer's responsibility to obtain/legalise these, where applicable. Likewise, it is the buyer's responsibility to harmonise the tax register and the property description where applicable.
Potential interested parties are advised that the furnishings of the dwelling do not form part of the subject of the transaction.
The title of transfer will be issued in the name of the winning bidder and not in the name of third parties whom they may nominate.
There are legal provisions that may lead to an outcome different from what is expected, namely:
a) Exercise of the right of redemption;
b) Exercise of the right of pre-emption;
c) Insolvency of the judgment debtor(s);
d) Payment of the debt;
e) Possible discovery of an irregularity leading to the invalidity of the sale.
All requests for information must be submitted in the "information" field provided on the E-Leilões platform or by email to the enforcement agent.
