Our completion is scheduled for qtr. 4 next year, but they have said it may be earlier.

Not seen any threads on the village development, if there is any they would come up if you google it. Our development is very small and this is the only thread that I have seen on our one.

[quote=lena green;66487]Hi Manor Park, great news .......more beer, my beer bank will be overflowing before long!!

Are you both coming to live in Fuseta? I wonder or buying to let? it gets so full in the summer I cannot park there as many apartments are owned by wealthy Portuguese from Lisbon. The apartments are closed all year as they don`t rent out so accomodation is much sort after. I have my place on long term rental but I am informed its good for a 1000 a week for three months of the year if let...............so I go there on the HD (Harley Davidson) its easier to park !! and a real crowd puller.

There is quite a lot of renovation going on in Fuseta and has good future plans and, of course you can cop a boat there straight to the islands, now thats something different.Simple life out there with lots of beachfront and sand.

Fuseta is full of quaint old buildings with great architecture dating back years. I love the place, never any problems, great beaches,ugly girls and good restaurants for miles around.
It would be nice if they would close the campsite though and build on there as its prime land........now thats a place you wanna buy if ever it comes up for sale !


Regarding your comment about the campsite in Fuseta, I hope it is never sold off as you suggest. It is one of the few areas in Fuseta where there trees, there are fishermens huts, a boule pitch, childrens play ground and the people that stay there give the river front area a special ambiance. It the campsite were to go, it would rip something special out of the town. The eastern algarve is great because property is being built but in a more sustainable way.

The people that like this area do so because it is about so much more than lying in the sun and drinking excessive amounts of alcohol. The history, culture, landscape and nature are what I and my family like to drink in large amounts when we go there.

PS the Chinese next to the Post Office is nothing special, why not try one of the Portuguese restaurants (you are in Portugal after all) I recommend Restaurant Scandinavia just up the road from the fish market.

Declan,
Hi, I'm buying apartment in Formosa Village in Fuseta. Visited site 17th September and everything was completed so I don't understand delay (was told completion would take place in 8 to 10 days). Would love to get in touch with other purchasers in Fuseta.

regards

I thinks lenas comments were from a property developer point of view as the campsite is prime land. He lives out there and I think lived in fuseta for a long time.

I am sure he eats at places other than the chinese lol

Hi Eric

We are also buying in this development. What we are laid to believe from our solicitors is that just awaiting habitation license and quoting Nov completion

Has to complete prior year end to avoid penalties

So how is it looking ? are you in east block or west block ( clsoest faro)

Awiat your news

Declan

Apologies if I picked up on the wrong end of the stick with lenas comment but not all prime land is good for building on, this is what spoilt areas of the western algarve. The eastern algarve is special because it hasn't been over exploited. I have thankfully heard that the Portuguese government does not approve developments less than 500 meters from the sea.

We have recently bought an apartment in a three storey re-development close to the harbour in Fuseta and would like to see things stay just as they are.

Hi Declan,
Everything seems complete. Don't understand delay. Only untidy bit is around pool but generally looking very good.
We are in east block(206), should get setting sun.
Was buying furniture from Je ne sais quoi but think theyve gone into liquidation.
Need to go out again and start looking for furniture from scratch. Any ideas suggestions?
regards
Eric

No problem, like you most of the people on this thread have bought property there for much the same reason, lena lives there and was kind enough to take some photos of the building progress for us.

Is yours a holiday property or to live? is it finished yet?

Mine is due to be completed towards the end of 2009, so I hope to be taking advantage of it early in 2010 and enjoying the lovely peace and views that fuseta has to offer.

HI Eric

We are in west block 204

Just signed up with VillaPac for the furniture and seems good quality
Hope you didnt lose any money with Je ne sais quois ?

Do you know of anybody else buying in this development?

What part of the world are you from ?we are from Northern ireland

Cheers

Declan

Just a wave away!
Afraid it looks as if we lost over 5000 euros.
You are the first I've made contact with. We are going over 7th to the 11th December to look at furniture. Hope the apartment is ready by then! We are from England (the midlands).
Hope we get opportunity to meet up sometime.

optimistically
Eric
