Oceanville

Seeing the recent posts on this topic, I was reminded that it's a couple of months since I posted a picture. At the risk of depressing some of you, I took a few pics on the way back from town earlier. Here's a sample; the rest are in a small album http://sdrv.ms/Ptcqti

I feel for everyone who has suffered at the hands of the various incompetent companies and individuals involved in this shambles.

Hi again Kate, just been going through all my emails from 2009 / 2010 to see if any will help you. If you pm me with your email address, I'll send you them and hopefully one of them will help.

Opposite the Colina do Mar there is another, smaller, holiday development that has lain dormant for the best part of two years since being completed. Is that the one you mean?

The banks are maybe lending enough money for building to begin then it runs out. The whole area is littered with half built hotels and resort developments, now gradually crumbling into dust.

Corrupt local councils are giving planning permission left and right and centre in return for kickbacks. It is truly a bad situation.

Hi everyone,

So pleased to have found this forum. Like some of the other users here I used to follow this whole sorry mess on EyeonWorldwide until it got taken down. Like many of you we put a deposit down on an apartment at Oceanville in November 2005 and like many of you, seven years later we have neither an apartment nor our money back. We're taking it through the courts through our solicitor but it's a long, slow process with hardly any updates and we're reliant on forums like this to hear news.

Jocelyn, I've appreciated your updates on here, thank you and cubsur, however depressing the photos may be, it's good to see how the development looks. We now live in Auatralia so don't get much chance to visit the Algarve and see the place for ourselves. Jocelyn, I've searched for the page you mention on Facebook but couldn't find it. What is it called please and I'll definitely join, just in case this forum disappears one day!

The only bit of information I have is that our solicitor says the next court session for us is at the end of February (9 months after the last one which basically said yes, you're entitled to your money back but, no, we don't have it)

I'm determined not to give up on this, so happy to discuss any ideas that might help resolve this situation for us all, although I'm realistic enough to know how difficult that may be!

Looking forward to keeping in touch with you on this. Marie

Hi everyone. Just to update you, we have just come back from Portugal and paid Oceanville a visit while we were there. Same old situation I'm afraid... It looked as derelict and overgrown as always and other than the usual security guard, there was no one to be seen... :-(
Kate.

We too had the misfortune of buying an appt here at Oceanville and like the rest of you have seen no sign of our deposit,  we were in Albufeira 16-23 October and paid our twice annual visit to Oceanville but tbh don't know why we bother as it thoroughly depresses me to think of what could have been and the money we lost - my husband (ever the optimist) is slightly more hopeful than I am - on the day we drove up there the weather was awful so it made it look even more unappealing - we did notice the villa at the end though with his immaculately kept garden - I take my hat off to that particular owner! 

Hi Jocelyn - it's really starting to look a mess isn't it,  we are over again Easter next year so will take a look again then. 

Last pic - perhaps somebody decided they had nothing to loose so they got on with it. As long as they don't shout out about it.............  How they have elecy and h2o is another story........
