Property deeds
My parents have finally paid off their mortgage on their lovely apartment in Carvoeiro. Can anyone advise them on what the process is to have the banks noted interest in the property removed from the deeds which are in the notaries office.

Re: Removing waterproofing sealant from a terrace
Tried a blow torch, Stanley blade and scraper! If the layer was thick it was OK to remove. Otherwise so difficult.

Removing waterproofing sealant from a terrace
I'm trying to remove old sealant from a small Terrace. It's so difficult. Can you buy a solvent type that would dissolve it. Or any tips to help removal.

Re: Help with deciding holiday villa
Stayed in Vila Elizabete and really loved it. There is a minimarket a few houses down the street which was great for everyday supplies and not terribly expensive. Then the municipal market is a little further down the same street and it is good too. what we did was get the bus to Lagoa and shopped i...

Re: Vegeterian recommendations
If you happen to be in Portimao you should try out Unicornio on Rua Diretia. Fantastic vegetarian food, and even nicer for the non veggies too.

Re: Lightning strikes twice !
The safe bolted to the wall not a good idea! did you read a recent post where it was forced off the wall. They get all your stuff in one go then!! Good warning to people to use the alarm if its fitted in your accommodation as that'll alert you to intruders when you are in the villa and if its attach...

Alisuper on Rua do Cerro
Is this minimart still open? Was it affected by the downturn. Going to stay on Rua do Cerro for the holidays and its so convenient especially when staying for a short visit.

Re: Taste,oh so tasty!!!
Tried this out in August and was really disappointed. Am a great fan of Ele and Ela, but thought Taste was well below par. Fish soup was awful, spare ribs mediocre, prawns overly priced rubbery etc. Maybe it coincided with the weekend of the wedding but that shouldnt be an excuse. Would take alot of...

Re: Charges for Emptying septic Tanks
Does the connection to the mains sewerage not incur an ongoing charge? I thought I saw somewhere that you would be charged a rate in proportion to your use of water. So you pay for the water you consume and thats expensive, and then you pay pro rata for the water/waste that is expelled.

Re: Internet mobile dongles
I bought the dongle with 10 euro loaded credit from vodafone shop at airport and it cost 49.90 euro. Its just as you come out of departures. If you have your uk dongle already I think you can just buy the sim and credit so you would save that way. They speak perfect English so I'm sure they will ans...

Re: info
Emilser, if your dad continued on up the street (Rua do Cerro) past the Monte Dourada entrance at the market it levels off and you go toend of that street and take a left, past a mini roundabout and the villa is down a little on the right. Otherwise as previously mentioned you take the slightly stee...

Re: info
Havent been inside either but have passed it. Its so conveniently located and its not a very long hill and if you are getting it for a good price and for the size of your party I'd say go for it. Definitely no need to drive unless you want access to big supermarkets.
