    Frank hi, I am not aware of any legal issues with project ZEN. In fact we had two separate solicitors check this out who both green lighted it. Before i came on board approx a dozen people had purchased prior and none of their solicitors had any issues either - so probably at least six...

    Banana residential latest

    In the first instance you need to go back to your agent. I would also recommend you have it confirmed that the price at which you reserved is the price that will be quoted in the contract. With the current strength of the Reai there are very few developers in Brazil that can fix prices for such...

    TURTLE BAY ECO- What do you think?

    To clarify,ZENs initial allocation of 64 plots has been fully reserved. From December of last year ASCL have worldwide exclusivity on all sales.There are no other sellers. Prebooked ads are still running and details of interested parties are being recorded in strict rotation of contact for a...

    TURTLE BAY ECO- What do you think?

    Turtle Bay Gee69, In answer to your question,the fact of the matter is that Turtle bay has not sold very well at all. Neither did it sell well the last time around either when they first launched it back it April of last year.In fairness though they did launch too soon before they were...

    Blindness and stupidity when investing in Brazil

    Land Prices Yup,MikeC.Healthy returns are being made out of land in N.E.in Brazil ;that's for sure.You quote Fortaleza,though the same phenomenon is evident in and around Natal. Prices i am now being quoted (via a number of contacts,including local Brazilian) are up 20% to 25% on June of...

    TURTLE BAY ECO- What do you think?

    Gee, If that is a concern,opt for a resort community with 24 hour security. I have no direct experience with the agents you mention other than with Property Showrooms and i would certainly regard them as one of the better intermediaries. Whilst they do not always conduct a prior site visit...

    Midas PLC 25% Loan

    I have invested in one of the Midas products with prior research and knowledge of the Barfa Sim episode.It is a risk but a calculated one in so far as you will take a charge on the land-in my case Marrakesh My first interest payment is due in approx 4 weeks so it remains to be seen whether or...

    Cost of construction

    No worries new kid.Actually i agree with you in that i think the defacto clamour for absolute beachfront is somewhat overated. My personal preference is actually second line beach;often half the price,still within a short walk to the beach,not such a fierce Atlantic wind to whisk your half...

    Cost of construction

    It is only meaningful to perform a comparative sqm/price analysis when you have the breakdown of internal build to covered area/terrace. When i visited this site last year and saw the masterplan in the developers office at Aldeota, the 140m2 related to TOTAL build area which included a very...

    Cost of construction

    Mike-you are absolutely right.Also budget for wells,filtration septic tank,water heater as these are not normally included either etc. I have witnessed very many instances of people purchasing land based on quotes from local developers fully expecting their build to be all inclusive and to...

    Cost of construction

    Ralph, That's one helluva pool you have there my friend! Are you looking to host the next Olympics? Either that or you have fallen prey to one of the many conmen you are forever warning us about!! Deansp2001-as a guideline, budget for 250 to 270 Euros per sqm for one that ought not to leak...

    TURTLE BAY ECO- What do you think?

    Hello Ralph, I am on very safe ground in assuming that the £1,100 quoted covers more than just obtaining a CPF number. In fact it is not even an assumption at all.The International Law firm representing Turtle Bay is IPLC based out of Covent Garden in London.They are a reputable U.K. top tier...
