    Magaprojects in the NE collapsing

    I think that the report shown in the video is very misleading. They talk about the David Beckham development then say that construction started and sales started and that the developer "ran off with the money from sales". As far as I know (please let me know if you know any different) the...

    New Natal Airport

    Those images of the airport are a bit outdated already. They say they are from April 2013 but this photo was taken a while back already and as you can see, the terminals are a lot more advanced. There are a lot of people out there still today advertising the largest airport in the world but...

    Jacques Cousteau Complex, Natal - What's going on!!!

    The Jacques Costeau development has been rebranded and relaunched - not sure who the people are behind it or if Russel is involved. As Rob mentioned, it is now called White Sands Towers and can be found on numerous property websites on the internet. Good luck

    advice on buying a beach buggy

    Oh! I don't know anyone off the top of my head who sells new beach buggies - I know a couple of people who have sold second hand ones (they all mucho acoustic)

    advice on buying a beach buggy

    I know a good mechanic (who actually lives across from Rob) but not sure he's got any for sale - he used to sell them but (as I rented two from him last weekend) I believe he only rents them out now. I'll ask next time I'm up in Gostoso which will be this weekend.

    Capim Macio 6 months overdue (and counting)

    Hi Andrew Sorry for the delay in getting back to you - I was traveling and just got back to Brazil this Saturday so today is my first day back in the office. Regarding your question; 1) The delivery will result in fines so yes, per your contract with them, the developer has to pay the fines...

    anybody looked into mina casa?

    Hi WeBuyTX I worked for an investment company who had retained Manzanares International to do the due diligence checks on developments and approve them for sale to our investors. I've never actually used them myself to oversee a purchase of mine in Brazil because when it came to my own...

    Failing buyers in brasil

    I believe they have forgotten to take it off their website as the development they are advertising is now pretty much sold out and the last 5 or 6 units of 99 m2 are being sold direct to the local market and the developer IMG has stopped marketing overseas except through a couple of overseas...

    anybody looked into mina casa?

    I agree with Rob - it is best to get an independent lawyer to do the checks on the developer. Unless you speak fluent Portuguese it'll be tough. Also, I'd suggest reading the Absolute Basics thread on these forums very carefully as that will also help you know what to ask for and what to talk...

    Palma Do Mar Construction

    Now I'm starting to think that this may be Dotty's new alias. Foundless snide remarks like that is why Dotty got banned. As for your post Norbert - I checked and nothing was deleted so you may have closed the browser before your post was saved or something like that because it wasn't moderated.

    Hi AlexV Welcome to the forums and a pleasure to meet you even under unfortunate circumstances such as these. I've spoken to the administration company and conveyed your concerns to them however I believe you are already in touch with them and some of my colleagues. I had been told that...

    Actually just checked - it was moderated because of the inflammatory remarks under the links however it is not hard to find out court cases against any company in Brazil. http://www.tjrn.jus.br/

    Thanks Penelopy but a) the legal cases peko posted shouldn't have been deleted. I am guided by the forum rules and so I don't delete posts to hide them. We have nothing to hide - every client who buys with us normally hires a lawyer and that lawyer checks the legalities of the company and...

    Sonhos do Mar

    The goal of the meeting was put down very clearly by me in the first ten minutes of our meeting when we sat down together and I explained why I was there. You made several accusations on a public forum which were based on hearsay and I wanted to give you the opportunity to see the reality for...

    Certainly - by the way I removed your email address from this post as it is against the forum rules - to enable your private messaging on the forums, you'll need to make another 5 posts.

    Thank you for that Michael - was good to see you again and thank you for taking the time to come and see the development. I'd like to take this opportunity to clarify a few other items which were discussed at the meeting which I think are important to mention. 1) When the local expert you...

    Sonhos do Mar

    Hi Michael I assumed you were still associated with the site because you still advertise the website in your signature link here on the forums. It appeared to me that you had taken sides because you wrote several things which are not fact and you could believe if you'd been misinformed and...

    Sonhos do Mar

    This actually makes sense and as you can see from my reply to Peko a few posts earlier, this is exactly what we also recommend to any owners who are worried or concerned - have a representative of theirs visit the development with us to ascertain exactly what the situation is of the development...

    Wow! Hi Michael. A bit surprised you decided to post this without talking to me as we've met on more than one occasion and you know how to get in touch with me. Would have been nice if you'd decided to hear both sides of the story before launching into a tirade like this however... First...

    I certainly do remember Deb. But I haven't shut it down because that would look like we have something to hide and we don't. Cheers John
