    Will the FIFA World Cup 2014 help the Brazilian real estate market?

    It's 5 weeks in a calendar year/life time. Great marketing speel but not a basis for real estate "growth". If you have bought in somewhere like Itaquera (hardly likely) then possibly you will gain the benefit of the development of complexes rather than world cup stadia...but even then don't...

    Natal how much is Value and how much is Hype?

    Isn't that a contradiction in itself. If you are selling for a fraction of a price doesn't that "fraction" become the real market price? A real market price is of course the price the market will pay. Maybe I just read it wrong on second view and now agree with the point you are making :)

    Internet Pipa

    Has anyone set up broadband in Pipa and can offer advice as to how to go about doing this from UK (if at all possible) and what is involved, cost etc...? Alternatively does anyone recommend a decent mobile broadband dongle that can be purchased (would need to be unlimited usage as work...

    I got burned too!

    I would say its a veritable minefield out there in summary and I would have to consider myself as one of the lucky ones as I have an apartment built, albeit on a condominium that is at least 12 months (and that's optimistic based on history) away from being completed even though the whole...

    Property in the state of Rio de Janeiro

    Semilion - I notice you are interested in property in the US. With nearly 100 people killed in "mass shootings" (more than 4 people in one event) in the last 12 months alone would you class the US as one of the most dangerous places on earth too? Just curious as to what you are basing your...

    Real Estate Investment in Brazil

    I think the truth is actually a mixture of both the last two posts. The recession and the pessimistic world outlook as a whole, which the media has whipped up to a frenzy will of course drive down demand. In addition as Penelopy says there has been over supply/construction at the same time which...

    advice on buying a beach buggy

    Thats ok am not ruling out 2nd/3rd/4th etc... hand but believe me the one I had the use of was definitely louder than the average bear...sorry buggy. Especially when it invariably back-fired...not a great sound any where in Brazil as people dived to the floor for cover! I was generally heard...

    advice on buying a beach buggy

    Great thanks...not sure the residents of Pipa will welcome another buggy waking the whole place up at 8am on my way to Madeiro beach so hope the newer ones are a little less "acoustic" than the one I just borrowed which as circa 1973...ear muffs weren't included!

    advice on buying a beach buggy

    Having borrowed a friends buggy for a couple of weeks (just back) in Pipa I am also now interested in buying one...an in full knowledge that they are shall we say temperamental, but at the same time essential for ferrying around friends and family to the nearby beaches. Any advice on...

    Agent predicts growing demand for holiday homes in northeast Brazil

    Exactly...not only selling but also I know one of the agents at least had bought in the NE of Brazil so it good to drum up interest for both corporate and personal reasons ...oh an apparently Liverpool have turned a corner as well (to add to your list)...although I think maybe thats for a...

    New Natal Airport

    I'd have to agree with your sentiments on the new airport unfortunately. Especially when I found out the original plans for it were drawn up with guidance from the Wright brothers! :wow: Ok not quite that bad but I believe this "new" airport was originally planned to start something like 15...

    Thanks for the response Rob. They are indeed hopeless so I can totally understand that decision.

    Porto Brasil Residence Pirangi Natal

    I am based in UK. I am also looking at flying to NE Brazil in April to see for myself how my own apartment is progressing and to also see people from Delphi face to face. I am not concerned that Delphi will not complete the development, or about the standard of the work they carry out, as I...

    Porto Brasil Residence Pirangi Natal

    Hi Wynne, Have you purchased directly with the developers - i.e. Delphi? If so you are in the same boat a me although mine is on a different development. The only thing that has surprised me in your post is that you have been happy with communication with these developers up until a...

    Cosmopolitan Residential - Natal

    Isn't a promise the same as a commitment? If so you surely have that in writing in a legally binding contract which your legal people will have reviewed and ensured is an obligation you can act upon should it not be met? Not sure how the financial downturn impacts on "promises" but sounds to me...
