I am astounded at the amount of properties with a £1m+ price tag on the market. Cerro Novo Estate Agents have umpteen listed. The Green Tiled building is up for sale for an absolute eye watering €4.9m  although it does include a second property located behind it! I fear it will all come crashing down. The world is in turmoil atm. ------------- Consistently inconsistent, Esse sou eu! |

There is nowhere our servants can afford to live. That's a big problem. Also, opening up a 200 room hotel is all very well (loads going up around the Algarve) but where are they going to get the staff from unless they are all live-in?. ------------- Albufeira Resident www.algarvebus.info public transport information for the Algarve |

It's a global problem. Even here in The Heelans, properties come on the market and they are bought up for holiday lets. Locals don't have a chance! During lockdown folks from London who lived in flats sold up and bought 6 bed victorian mansions up here and pushed the property prices sky high! We are also a huge tourist town. Hospitality is at the forefront and as you say staff cannot afford to buy and there is no where to rent! The Hydro do have live-in accommodation but it's limited! When we were over last October-December we got talking to staff down in the marina, a lot of them drive in from quite a distance. We were near St. Bartolemeu de Messines and some of the staff were commuting from that area! ------------- Consistently inconsistent, Esse sou eu! |

Lisbon has already prohibited the issue of more AL licenses in many districts and there are moves that Albufeira will do the same. There are a few properties that can't be used for AL as they cannot comply with the fire regulations, including one in my block, but as you say they are rarely if ever seen for rent. The bar manager where I spend too much time lives outside of Ferreiras, around 5 miles away, because there's nowhere affordable in town. ------------- Albufeira Resident www.algarvebus.info public transport information for the Algarve |
