Re: Canadian renters!

I don't know what to suggest Gernee. We do very well with only advertising on HL's. Could it be people are looking for less bedrooms. We rent 2 bedrooms, never our third bedroom. Of course no idea on how many beds, how close you are to town etc. have you only just started to rent and maybe not so ma...

Re: Travelrent

I have used travelrent since 2002. We rent about 8 times a year. The last car was so new you could smell the newness. Never had any issues, so sad to hear a couple of bad stories. We tend to rent Clio or similar, but the next car we need something with lots of boot space so give ordered a Megane SW....

Re: Villa Managment

I am not going to recommend an agent but if you are going to rent your home please make sure you obtain the appropriate license. Not all agents have such properties, but the fines are huge if the powers that be catch up with you. whilst you may escape the net if you ever had an insurance claim you m...

Re: Casa/villa mimosa Rampa do solferias

It is called Casa mimosa not villa mimosa.

Re: Canadian renters!

We have just spent the evening in Villa Nova with 12 Canadians - and what lovely people they are. I/we now know the reason they choose Cvo for their 12-20 week Winter holiday. As per my previous post they are not the partying community - they are everybody's favourite Mum/Dad/ Granddad/Nanna/Uncle/...

Can you not take out a UK life policy and assign it to your Portuguese mortgage provider? If not my wife can give you the contact details of a good Portuguese broker.

Mortgage Insurane

Our mortgage interest went up considerably with no reason why. On enquiring we can reduce it if we purchase life cover. We were quoted a huge amount, certainly way higher than we pay for the same type of cover in the UK. Has anyone got any recommendation? :|

Re: Canadian renters!

Hopefully 2 weeks in August won't need too much heating. :lol: :lol: The others I rejected as it's too long. I will not reduce our price either.
