Re: Energy Certificates, Not all bad News

It is at a minimum a revenue acceleration program. My understanding is that you used to need the certificate to close the sale, so most sellers would arrange for the certificate as part of the closing process. Now all serious sellers need to have the certificate to list a property, with the threats ...

Re: Energy Certificates, Not all bad News

Thanks for the useful thread. I have a quote for 250Euro + IVA + the governmental tax (ADENE) that is 45,00€ + IVA. Do the previous quotes above include the ADENE (whatever that is)? Seems to me this whole program is just designed to raise tax revenue. Total tax collection is approximately 110Euros ...

Re: cliff paths

My husband and I are both runners, and he is a mountain biker. We run the cliffs often when we are in CVO. Depending on where you are staying, you can enter the cliffs in many different places. Then, head west to your hearts content. If you go from CVO Clube to Ferragudo area, RT it is about 15 kms...

TAP Strike Mar 21-23rd

We are getting stung by the planned strike. We were planning on travel to PT on the 21st and now have options for the 19th or 26th. This either adds a few days to our trip or cuts a few off. I really do not think this strike is all that good for TAP or the unions. If they manage to get their demands...

Just a few comments on mosaic tile. In addition to numerous types of design that impact price there are also three types of backing used to hold the tiles together for adhesion to the glue. The first is a web netting on the back of the tile which is typically the cheapest and least reliable in the l...

Re: Re-filling swimming pool

After failing to get any offers except the Bomberios at what we considered an extortionate price, we went into the Water Office in Lagoa, to discuss our options with them. To our surprise, the cost of filling from the mains, even allowing for pro rata increase in sewage cost, came to less than half...
