Legal
Licences and registrations
In Portugal, this house operates as an acquisition advisory practice. Real-estate intermediation — an activity regulated by Law no. 15/2013 — is carried out by a licensed real-estate brokerage, identified to the client before any brokerage activity.
This page explains that model and identifies the registers governing each market — the AMI licence from IMPIC in Portugal, the ORN and BRN numbers from the Dubai Land Department, the applicable autonomous-community register in Spain — with the real status of each number: published once confirmed, and not before.
Version of 19 August 2026. No licence number is shown until it is confirmed and verifiable with the issuing authority.
Who does what in Portugal?
In its own name, Rhamos Properties provides acquisition advisory: judgement, market analysis, document preparation and verification, and accompanying the client through to the deed.
The brokerage acts are performed by the licensed real-estate brokerage carrying out the intermediation, under its own AMI number and published under its own name — never as a service of this house. It is identified to the client before any brokerage activity.
Intermediation carried out by
DNZ — Mediação Imobiliária, Lda · AMI 10786
Which licences are published?
This section shows the register as it stands. There is no version for the visitor and another for the firm.
No registration of the house's own published, for now.
The register of the house's own licences on this site is empty. That is not a content oversight: it is the real position. The rule we follow is that a number the firm cannot evidence on paper is not published — not approximated, not partial, and not accompanied by a vague note that cannot be checked.
The table below nonetheless shows which register governs each of those markets and who issues it. That is the information which lets you verify us the moment the numbers are allocated, and it is also the list of what we are missing.
While this section reads as it does, treat any claim about professional authorisation as unverified — including ours.
| Market | Register | Issuing authority | Number |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dubai | ORN — Office Registration Number | Dubai Land Department (DLD) | To be confirmed |
| Spain | Estate agent registration | Applicable autonomous-community register | To be confirmed |
This table concerns only the house's own registrations. The number column is marked as pending where the number has not yet been allocated, and no field holds an approximate value. The identification of the brokerage carrying out intermediation in Portugal is dealt with above.
What is missing before this page is complete, in the order that matters to a reader:
- To be confirmedORN — Office Registration Number — Dubai, Dubai Land Department (DLD).
- To be confirmedEstate agent registration — Spain, Applicable autonomous-community register.
- To be confirmedThe public identification of the licensed brokerage carrying out the intermediation — name and AMI — to be published once the written authorisation is on file.
- To be confirmedThe BRN — Broker Registration Number — of each consultant working in Dubai, to be published on their profile.
- To be confirmedThe relevant autonomous community in the Spanish market, which determines the applicable register.
- To be confirmedThe house's professional indemnity policy, with insurer and policy number.
Which register governs each market?
Three jurisdictions, three regimes that do not substitute for one another. Being registered in one does not authorise practice in another.
01
Portugal — the AMI licence
AMI is the estate agency licence issued by IMPIC, the Institute of Public Markets, Property and Construction. Law no. 15/2013 requires it of anyone carrying on estate agency work in Portugal, and the register is public: anyone can confirm a number with IMPIC and see in whose name it is issued. That verifiability is what protects the consumer.
In this house, the relevant AMI number is that of the licensed brokerage carrying out the intermediation: when published, it appears under the brokerage's own name and never as if it were this company's. Until that public identification is authorised in writing, the brokerage is identified to the client before any brokerage activity.
Verification: with IMPIC, the authority issuing the licence.
02
Dubai — ORN and BRN
The Dubai Land Department issues two distinct numbers, and both matter: the ORN, Office Registration Number, identifies the agency; the BRN, Broker Registration Number, identifies each consultant individually.
One identifies the agency, the other identifies the person attending to the client. Publishing only the first leaves half the question unanswered, so the BRN of each consultant working in Dubai will be published on their profile as well as appearing here — always once confirmed, never before.
Verification: with the Dubai Land Department, the authority issuing both numbers.
03
Spain — the autonomous-community register
Spain has no single national register of estate agents. Several autonomous communities have created their own registers, with entry required to practise in that territory, and the applicable register depends on the community in which the activity is carried on.
That is why the site register identifies this entry as «applicable autonomous-community register» rather than as a named body: naming the wrong register would be as useless as naming none.
Verification: with the competent autonomous-community register, once identified.
How to verify a number
A licence number is worth only as much as the source that issued it will confirm. The procedure is the same in any market.
01
Note the number exactly as published, without rewriting it.02
Confirm it with the issuing authority named in the table above, not with the party presenting it.03
Check that the holder's name matches the party presenting the number — for intermediation, the identified brokerage, not this firm.04
If a number cannot be confirmed at source, treat it as non-existent. That applies to this firm exactly as it applies to any other.
What an agency licence covers, and what it does not
The distinction shows what can be expected of a licensed brokerage — and what no property register replaces.
It covers
- Carrying on estate agency work in the market the registration relates to.
- Acting for a buyer or a seller under a written brokerage agreement.
- Conducting the negotiation and seeing the matter through to the deed.
It does not cover
- It does not make the brokerage a law firm. Legal advice is given by those holding the professional title to give it.
- It does not make it an accountant or a tax adviser. The tax treatment of a transaction is confirmed by someone qualified to sign it off.
- It does not make it a registered valuer. A valuation for lending purposes is carried out by a valuer registered for that purpose.
- It does not replace the notary, the land registry, or the documentary checks each of those steps requires.
Professional indemnity insurance
In estate agency, the mandatory professional indemnity cover is that of the licensed brokerage carrying out the intermediation, under Law no. 15/2013. Alongside it, once the house's own policy — covering the advisory activity — is in place and confirmed, we will publish the insurer, the policy number and the scope of cover here, because it is information a client can check with the insurer.
To be confirmed:
- To be confirmedInsurer and policy number.
- To be confirmedTerritorial scope and limits of cover.
- To be confirmedInception and renewal dates of the policy.
Where these registrations will appear
A registration hidden on a legal page does not do its job. These are the places each element enters as soon as it exists.
- The licensed brokerage's identification — name and AMI — on this page and in the site footer, as soon as its publication is authorised in writing.
- The house's own confirmed registrations, on this page and in the footer, with the issuing authority written out in full.
- On the contact page, next to the office each registration relates to.
- In the Dubai content, where ORN and BRN accompany the market information.
- On each consultant's profile, in the case of the BRN.
- In the organisation's structured data, in the hasCredential field, which is omitted today because no number is confirmed.
Why this page exists
A licence is expensive to obtain, carries requirements that persist over time, and cannot be imitated without legal exposure. That is why it works as proof rather than as assertion: any firm can say it is rigorous, but only a registered entity can publish a number the authority will confirm.
It is also rarely given prominence on a property site, which leaves the space free. It will be occupied as confirmed registrations exist — each in its holder's name, and never with a number that cannot be confirmed against the register that issued it.
