Would be so grateful to find the most proactive estate agent. Thank you

Hi everyone,
Has anyone ever sold privately on internet, or are estate agents the best as their fees are extortionate. Thanks

Interesting reading and views, but sadly we one of the unlucky ones who have to sell :( ... so would be most grateful for any suggestions on good agents that dont charge 5%, or private international websites, would be gratefully received. Fortunately the current euro exchange/gbp take a little sting...

Hi all,

First winter in Algarve and wondered if anyone has advice on a log delivery service (speaking English!!) cheaper than roadside. Many Thanks

Anyone have a small tumble dryer for sale please pm me. Thanks

I am useless at describing how to get here from the airport and wondered if anyone had a good version that works. Much appreci...
