Re: Hello and help!
Hi Gill
I will be in Olhao soon until the end of August, if you are in the area let's meet up and have a chat over a cold beer and some snail tapas.

I am sure many of you know that Olhas da Agua, Olhao and Oura (Albufeira where the recent incident occurred) are three distinct and separate places all on the same coastline and are kilometers apart.

Silva that's really kind of you but unfortunately I go back to UK on Saturday. I've already got another trip planned for early October but nothing else as yet. I may well pop over again sooner if there are more properties to view - if I do I'll ping you over a message. Thank you.

Times have changed,In April an agent we know showed two villas to a client who said she would return in early June with her husband.
Both had sold by the time of their second visit.
Two small houses in Silves sold for the asking price within a short time of being listed.
The Algarve is now an international market, Brits are no longer dominant and it is certainly not the buyers market it was.

There is a shortage of properties certainly at the lower end of the price range.

I'm still very tempted to make an offer on the Paderne house. They plan to be in it until October so perhaps we could do a deal? We'll see!

..The poster is advised to 'try before you buy' There are some lovely quiet area's of Albufeira but I personally wouldn't take the risk...

We also first visited in the late 70s.
Everywhere is different today to what it was then.
