Congratulations on your purchase Björn, do you know who the contact is now Suzet has left and also what units have been sold? I know No. 1 has been sold as met the lovely couple there when I visited a while ago - out of curiosity to see what had become of the site since our unfortunate experience so...

Steve read you response with interest. What is the cost of prescription drugs e.g. I am on standard meds for angina: aspirin, atenolol, simvastatin and allopurinol for gout!

Very interested but not moving out until August/September. Where is the Hotel Garbe and can you PM charges please. Thanks

We would appreciate advice also as retiring near CVO in August/September this year - when we will both be at retirement age. Is form E121 needed as we are getting conflicting responses? Also understand state pension can be paid directly into our Portugese bank account, does the amount vary with exch...

Thanks Jaylay but which development are you referring to?

After our disasterous attempt to purchase Terracos da Vigia via Parador Properties, we are visiting again next week to seek somewhere else to purchase for our retirement in the Autumn 2007. The above is a possibility? Any experiences or other suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks, Richard & Babs.

As we are visiting the Algarve from Tuesday 31 October would appreciate knowing whether your clocks go back an hour this weekend as they do here in the UK.

Thanks, Richard & Babs

We have been very touched by your responses of sympathy above and also in PM's (including the stalwart Ellie), so thank you all. We wil respond individually when time permits, but as well as working we have my father visiting the area at the moment so we need time with him. The developer and Parador...

We are absolutely gutted and devastated that this development is no longer going ahead; our dream has been stolen. My wife rang me in tears this morning after learning the result of the meeting between the developers and major investors in London yesterday (31 July 2006). We understand the latter wi...

We are still patiently waiting for construction to start as now over 6 months behind schedule, which we are informed because of various bureacratic delays. Very difficult judging when to put our UK home in Cumbria on the market too. Has anybody had experience, good or otherwise, of purchasing throug...

Thunderbolt excuse our ignorance but what is AFPOP? We are looking forward to retiring in Carvoeiro back end next year but construction still not started at Terracos de Vigia, should have started January/February!

Many thanks Barry, keeping our fingers double crossed but understand a Bank Holiday week (?) in the Algarve.

We enjoyed the match and were routing for Portugal as our loyalties must shift to our new potential home country. Much more exciting than the dreary England 1st match too.

Well although several months behind expectation, the Construction License has at last been issued. Initial completion date was September 2007 but this will obviously be affected with this delay. It would be very much appreciated if anybody noticing a start on this site could kindly let us know it ha...

I have a link to the webcam in my favourites both at work and at home, and visit it frequently during the day. We cannot wait and are looking forward to moving out to retire in CVO towards the end of next year - depending on when Terracos da Vigia completes.
