Missed your property uploads, Ken! I'm a good 15 years away from retirement but this really helps give direction.

Thank you for your insights. Always good to hear the truth from time to time. Especially concerning throwing ones lifetime savings on a house that needs another £100,000 spending on it. What a shit hole.

Water staining on the shutters in the older section makes me wonder if the windows will need to be replaced. The driveway going past the house would certainly need to be relocated so it isn't so close to the house. Otherwise it is a nice property even if the pool may have some mechanical issues.

When you see damp stains creeping up on the outside walls that tells that the foundation is not proper. That in turn points to a cheap build and most probably there are some other issues hidden. Ask me how I know.😅

How do you know?
@montegrifo6 ай бұрын
@ruthjarvis1933 My father built a house which had that problem in an area with high ground water level close to the adriatic sea. So I knew how it was build. Later, I lived in houses with that same problem and investigated, found same pattern. So when I bought my last house, I knew what to look for.

Unusual layout of the house but interesting. Definitely the lighting has to be upgraded. Nobody wants lightbulbs hanging out from the ceiling. It would have been better if the physical metes and bounds of the property is shown so you can best plan what to do with it. I agree with you that the garage would look better with a coat of paint. The pool has to be upgraded.
@OKportugal11 ай бұрын
I really like it. I think it represents good value for money in a country where you would be looking at a cost of 2000 euros per square metre for a new build. An average new build in Portugal, without any delays, takes around 2 years, and you would also have to factor in the cost of the land itself, the permits, licenses, amenities and delays.
@davidignacio300911 ай бұрын
@@OKportugal I find the property quaint and appealing. Too many driveway does not hurt and I find the stone structure quite rustic that makes the house appealing with unusual character. The property just needs cosmetic touch ups and minor upgrade.The price, I believe, is quite reasonable considering the land area (half hectare).

Seems to be quite common in portugal, we looked at a number of houses without fixtures and when we chose to make an offer on a home we asked when would the light fixtures be installed and we were told that they are treated as furniture and there would only be the bulbs as in this video.

Owning an old quinta in the Algarve region I can confirm the major issue here is humidity, dampness and cold....especially bottom up cold and creeping moisture in the walls. Almost all old houses were built maybe just on a slab of rock or concrete without any insulation or protection against ground water creeping up. We have dehumidifier running 24/7.

Does it have cement instead of lime anywhere; is it double glazed with no ventilation; are the old walls inside and out covered in non breathable modern paints and have the floors had a concrete slab put down on a plastic sheet. These are the most common faults that have been applied to old stone lime mortar buildings.@@schoppepetzer9267
