017-ReAct E  Application short term rentals

January 2009

The new rental season is approaching fast. January being normally the month that people start considering where to spent their spring or summer holidays. Not unlikely that the present credit crises will have an effect on bookings for properties in the Algarve. The severe drop in exchange rate of the £ sterling against the Euro during the past year and the fact that we are heavily depending on the British market will have an impact for property owners.

Of course people still will come on holiday but will have a wide choice of good properties and look for good value for money or bargains.

Good properties should be safe and clean and comply with today’s legislation. This legislation came into effect last year (see my article below) and one should obtain an AL license.

We have now started with obtaining this license for our clients and the first step is that your property will be inspected by a qualified electrician and gas technician. Without their certificates that the equipment is safe we can not further proceed with the application. In case recommendations are proposed they first will have to be carried out.

Our company is able to assist you in obtaining this necessary license.
