Move Portugal - A Place in the Sun

In the ‘Place in the Sun’ September issue MovePortugal gave a helping hand to a couple who were looking for a holiday rental property in Portugal’s Silver Coast.

Their article presents four properties to Mark & Kerry who wanted a holiday home for their young family plus they wanted a return on their investment from rental income and capital growth. Prior to the actual event the research team from the magazine contacted us and gave us their run down as to the type of property they wanted to show the young couple, to be honest their budget was low for what they required, but as always we dug deep and gave them a selection of properties to choose from. The exclusive MovePortugal property they selected was over their budget of €100,000, but it ticked all the boxes. On the day Sharon Clarke, the manager of MovePortugal took them to show the property and with her knowledge of the local property market and the land and building permits of the property Sharon advised the clients of the possibilities with the property and the 10,000 m2 plot. The young couple fell in love with the property and decided to put in an offer based on Sharon’s hunch. And she was right the owner accepted the offer and Mark & Kerry got an absolute bargain!!

Amendment to the PDM allows private hospital in Nazare

In order to allow the installation of a health unit of private capital in a land of 30 hectares located in the Royal Path, in Pederneira, the City Council of Nazare has initiated a process to amend the Municipal Director Plan (PDM).

This amendment, advanced by the local authority announced and approved at meeting of a municipal executive in the past day August 11, focuses on the land chosen for the location of the new hospital of the future, addressed in the PDM by two different classifications, one part in the area of tourist development of the town, and the other in forested areas. The use of the land should now be done, with equipment assigned to the occupation of collective nature of regional relevance, in an amendment to PDM which will articulate itself with the plans, projects and programmes under way for that zone, from which stand out the first review PDM and the Urban Plan of Pederneira.

The municipality justifies this amendment to the "strategic importance of the investment" that represents the installation of a hospital in Nazare, vanguard - with cutting-edge technology and part of research - and its proximity to the future variant of the National Road 242 and the IC9. Another argument raised is that, in addition to not allow the construction unit of health, the PDM currently in force no longer corresponds "to the current strategy of tourism development of Nazare, which now passes through areas such as S. Giao, Caixins and North Beach, "where the detailed plans are already underway.

To discuss the changes in the PDM the municipality will allow a period of 15 days of participation, with suggestions for the formulation and submission of relevant information. It follows a period of 180 days to make the necessary and final changes.

It is recalled that the hospital to be constructed is a result of a protocol between the City of Nazare and the Chamber of Commerce Israel-Portuguese and represents an investment which amounts to 100 million. The area of deployment of the building, which should take a bold appearance, will occupy about 10 square meters.
