      <description><![CDATA[Leiza, hi you are looking for the solution to sell your home. Property Market to is  now going to better. besides some speculations you have a good deal if you contact property investors, you told you wanna pay your mortgage debts. classifieds adds are showing any response to you. i advise to you to sell your home directly/some property brokers.but you told that they are taking a lot time so it would be better for you to sell your home directly by eliminating the middle man reason is that they will charge from you and you need full i.e maximum to pay your debts. contact some reliable person residing in that area. so it will be0 convenient for you.
   I also faced this problem last year. i wanna to sell my property and buy new property. but the problem was there i was not finding a property with the amount receiving from the buyer. i contact a property investor co. to sell my property. through them. they not only buy but also invest in my new purchased property. so you have a good deal with the property investors;;;;;;;
they will pay you full amount and also provide property mortgage facilities]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Unfortunately, they only serve the Funchal area. Buses to the western part of the island are infrequent, dirty and old. The service leaves a lot to be desired. Out here, car hire is the only option other than taxis - which can get very expensive way out in the countryside (like 30km from Funchal!!).]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[My name is Michelle Pita.  I am from South-Africa.  My dad Fernando Goncalves Pita was born in Funchal, Madeira on the 19 December 1945.  His dad is Joao Goncalves Pita.  Last known address: Sitio do Val &amp; Cava do Pico Frequesia dos Canhas, Funchal, Madeira.  

Brother with the names Daniel Goncalves Pita.  Last known address: Bodega Lanto Roita Cale, Pondres Beio No 8, El Limon, Marcacau, Venezuela.

My dad left his family and went to South-Africa when he was ±16 years old.  The last communication was in ±1974 between him and his family.

The thought of not knowing what happened to his family is slowly but surely having it's mark on his life.  My dad is turning 63 this year.  

We are trying to find his family.  To see if we can make contact with them and re-unite them, if possible.

If anyone can help us, please reply to: michellea@prokventer.co.za

Thanks.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Hi there, we are new to this site and just wondering what job oppurtunities were available on the island? My girlfiend and i were thinking of moving over next year, unfortunately she doesn't speak portugues at the moment, but my mum is from madeira, so i do, but i'm very rusty at the moment! It wouldn't take me long to get back into it though, also i speak spanish and obviously English. My girlfriend speaks Hungarian, german and english. Personally i would like to do accountancy and she was thinking of beauty therapy or something along those lines, for the time being. I would appreciate it if anyone could help us along or give us some advice, also we are going over in september/october for a couple of weeks to have a look around.

Just to say an advanced thank you to all the people who are willing to help.

Kind regards, Kevin.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Some people do, indeed, like living in Funchal. And some of us don't. Calheta and the surrounding towns and villages have more sun, higher temperatures and beautiful countryside (and coastline), whilst being within 30 minutes travelling time to Funchal along the network of extremely good roads that now exist. 

Most house-buying procedures are similar to the UK, and you certainly need to use a lawyer - some people will tell you that you don't. This is madness. Good lawyers (such as Pedro Quintas of Funchal) are worth their weight in gold. He is thorough, pleasant and extremely helpful.

Money can be transferred by a bank, or by a money trnsfer company. They deal in currency, and will often give a better exchange rate than a bank.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[My partner and I will be visiting Madeira next month. We have been there before but are disappointed at the so-called gay-friendly hotels. Most are not gay-friendly at all and should not be allowed to advertise as such. Does anyone have recommendations of a true gay friendly/gay owned establishment there?]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Hi there, 

This is my first time on this forum, so please be gentle!

I will be buying a house in Madeira around October time with my mum, but we have never bought abroad before. Is the process similar to that in England, i.e. appoint a solicitor and they do the rest, or are there other bits we need to be aware of? The other issue would be how the money for the house gets from England to Madeira, although I guess that would just be some kind of bank simple bank transfer?

Any advice would be great. Ta.]]></description>
