Rental Scams

I almost have been a victim of a rental scam (as a owner). I received an email from somebody in Canada interested in renting my villa, turned out it was a scam to get my NIB number, although I am not sure how they would manage to take money from my account. Thank God there are Internet and Google. P...

Re: maps of Carvoeiro/Lagoa

Check out: http://www.igeoe.pt/concelhos/WebForm1.aspx You can order online. This is the Instituto Geográfico de Exército, the Army Sevices. Each chart about 5 euros, scale 1/25000. The Lagoa/Carvoeiro should be number 604 chart, but I am afraid the paper version is an old edition (seventies). You m...

Guest. Your question about lamp shades and modelo 129 puzzles me a bit. If I may ask did anybody tell you that you may only put lamp shades after Licença de Habitação has been granted?

I think Mica brought an important peace of information that may be important to PM.

Would you please Mica elaborate a bit more as what is the rationale behind that D.L 38382. Why should old houses be exempt of Licença de Habitação? Even if it is a let down ruin?

Habitation licence (Licença de habitação) is a straightforward process that most of times runs in the background between the builder and the city council (Câmara Municipal). I believe all countries have such a proceeding and I believe it will take weeks to complete everywhere. Basically when your ho...

I diagonally read both web sides. Regarding thermal bridges it is relatively easy to avoid them in the traditional concrete building way. Just offset the bricks a bit and cover the concrete with them. I have the feeling that termically, the typical Portuguese iron/concrete/brick/sement way may not b...

Hello G
Yes locally is mostly "word of mouth".
I will try asking around in the real estate agencies.
Yellow pages did not help.

Thank you.
