Our expertise

We work with motor trade professionals and private customers throughout Portugal, with more than 10,000 vehicles registered since 2015 and the Quality Award 2026 distinction.

Our online vehicle import registration service covers the process from the customs declaration to Portuguese registration, with an average turnaround of 24 working hours after we receive all required documents and the technical inspection is completed.

We support individuals and businesses seeking finance, from preparing the application to the credit institution’s decision.

We coordinate the process with lenders and explain the terms and costs of their proposals, helping each client make an informed decision.

We coordinate door-to-door vehicle transport from the main European markets, using open or enclosed car transporters.

We monitor the journey through to its destination, with goods-in-transit insurance and details of cover and limits set out in the quotation.

We invest in property projects in Porto, Leiria, Lisbon and the Algarve, through the construction and refurbishment of commercial and residential properties.

We oversee the development of our investments, aligning construction decisions with how properties will be used, the quality of their spaces and their long-term value.

We source vehicles exclusively from authorised European dealerships, negotiate on our clients’ behalf and manage the import process, supporting each client from the initial search to delivery.

For each vehicle, we check and document the manufacturer’s warranty terms and the statutory conformity guarantee applicable to the purchase.

We develop digital tools to manage information and track processes across the group’s brands.

We bring data and workflows together in solutions that allow teams and partners to check the status of operations and organise their work.

Caetano COC is the Caetano Group brand dedicated to obtaining the European Certificate of Conformity (COC), the document issued by the manufacturer that proves a vehicle's European type approval and is required to register imported vehicles. The group has already handled more than 3,000 certificates.

The brand grew out of Legaliza na Hora's experience, which over a decade handled more than 3,000 Certificates of Conformity for its clients. That volume made it possible to build direct relationships with manufacturers and official dealerships across Europe and to learn the lead times, costs and requirements of each make.

Caetano Serenity is a Caetano Group property project developed by Caetano Build: a private development of five new three-bedroom houses in Gândara dos Olivais, Leiria, with contemporary architecture, energy class A+ and prices from 495,000 EUR, sold directly by the developer.

The project grew from a simple idea: build few houses and build them well. The architecture is contemporary, with clean lines and large openings, and the A+ energy class comes from reinforced insulation, thermal-break window frames, solar generation and heat pumps. Prices start at 495,000 euros and sales are made directly by the developer, without intermediaries.

Caetano Ouro Villa is a Caetano Group property and hospitality project developed by Caetano Build: a set of luxury holiday rental villas at Praia da Pedra do Ouro, on the coast of the Leiria district, with a Comporta-inspired aesthetic. The project is in development.

The original concept was a hotel; municipal planning rules led to its adaptation into a set of ten independent villas, each with a pool, private garden and generous outdoor space. The aesthetic is inspired by Comporta: natural materials, wood, sand tones, low architecture integrated into the pine forest.

Caetano Soul Villa is a Caetano Group project developed by Caetano Build: a new self-sufficient four-bedroom house on Lot 113 of the Alma de Faro development in Montenegro, Faro, with a solar roof, 90 kWh batteries, a 5,000-litre water reserve and satellite internet, sold directly by the developer for 1,500,000 EUR turnkey.

It is a self-sufficient house: the entire roof is photovoltaic and the energy is stored in a 90 kWh battery bank that allows several days without grid power. It has a 5,000-litre water reserve and Starlink satellite internet included. A heated pool, gym, sauna, jacuzzi, a garage for four cars with an EV charger and a private Schindler 3000 lift connect the three floors.
