[jimmy]

Hi Everyone, friends of ours have just returned from the Silver Coast and after chatting to a local Property Management Company owner,they were told of business closure ,estate agents etc ,people really struggling at this time,even heard of a large warehouse thriving near Obidos selling repossed furniture from repossed homes!, any one got any views on this matter,as partner and myself were looking forward to starting a new life out there after we sell our property here,Jimmy

The recession is worldwide. There have been people involved here, including a lot of expats who have had to sell their holiday homes. This has been mainly on the Algarve though, prices on the Silver coast have been pretty stable.

some estate agents are closing but its the ones that dont work much anyway and would probably go out of business even without challenging times, we have just opened an office on the silver coast and we are also advertising for more sales staff, so not all estate agents are having a bad time some are doing well and keeping busy even although globaly we are in difficult times.
