I'm sorry to say I agree with newtimber. Hard water stains can be removed quite easily with a good limescale product (I don't know what the 'excrement' was) and hairs on a placemat - wherever they came from - would suggest that unfortunately your cleaner let you down on this occasion, possibly in ot...

"Property transfer" under Simplified Regime
In 2015 – we believe like many other holiday home owners in Portugal – in order to pay tax on 'rental income under the so-called Category B ‘Simplified Regime’, we complied with Decree Law nº128/2014, stating that "All holiday rental property must have a licence for Alojamento Local and the per...

Wonder if it's the same Joanne who wanted to book with us 'again' last year?? She was persistent, always claiming to be 'ready to pay' and each time I told her the dates were already booked (fortunately most of them were!) she came back with a different enquiry for other dates. The annoying thing wa...

We just sold an apartment in the Algarve and dealt with 3 or 4 agents, mainly local. They all seemed very much the same and all advertised on Rightmove. In the end, the one who sold it was an agent we didn't even know about who contacted us to ask if they could market the property and within about a...

OD question
Earlier this week we wanted to book somewhere and decided - more as an experiment - to click on the 'Book Now' button and see how it worked. It turned out we couldn't actually 'book now' and didn't have to pay anything at this point. We could see the property owners accepted bank transfer or credit ...

I'm afraid I'd have to disagree with SandyBeaches and say that we found the Empire State Building entirely missable! It was really dirty and we queued for hours in order to get to the top where a good view was difficult through wire mesh screens (which I do understand!) all the way around. And of co...

I've also noticed - which I missed until now - that the A1 is only valid until the end of this year (no idea why as not likely to retire or stop paying NI in UK for another few years) so any others who've managed to get hold of one might want to check that. Have to admit I'm quite fascinated that th...

Hi OrangeBlossom. We applied for the A1 form at the beginning of December, expecting it to take several months before we had any response. Hey presto, the form arrived in mid January which we thought was an absolute miracle! It came with a letter saying that if our profits were above the EEA Small P...
