Default Just signed up

Hi Mike / Angela

Just signed up to this web site. We (Simon/Sara & Phil/Lynda) have purchased a T3 and just had through an information pack that arrived this week.

We have also gone for a 3 year deal on the rent side of things. I'm going to read through the details this week and if I'm unsure of anything I might be tempted to involve our Portuguese lawyer. I know your posting was a few months ago. Can I ask if you have resolved your concerns?

I understand from the estate agent we purchased this through that the opening is 1st July

Also can I ask if you have a direct contact at IMOCOM where you have posted questions or concerns as I have found details from them to be limited.

Cheers

Simon


Thanks

Or at some stage say the developer goes bust! We will have signed away our rights to use the apartment for 9 months over the next three years.

Has anyone got any knowledge or experience of renting out property through the developers, or any advice as to what are the usual rental agreements for this kind of transaction in general and/or the Monte Santo resort in particular?

cheers

Mike and Angela
