Good evening,

Has anyone bought an apartment at Genuíno Cerca do Colegio in Portimão?

Thanks you.

We are in unit 13. It looks pretty well finished but no indication of when the town will issue occupancy permits.


The answer is always next week. But they were saying this back in January when we travelled to Portugal to occupy the condo to only find out it was not finished.


Now waiting for my lawyer to go directly to the town to find out if a) they have submitted the paperwork and b) what is the hold up

Hi Carlos. Thanks for you comments and update. We are in block 1 which is further delayed not being able to make the best guess when it will be ready. Summer 2026 ? We will be in the area beginning of October 2025. If you have interesting updates, please let us know. THanks. Francisco Fonseca

If you live in Portugal and you're Portuguese and you're interested in this condominium (!) , wouldn't it be easier for you to seek information from the right place? And instead of posting your question here, help these people who are longing for an answer ?!? ....  .....

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, I know some buildings say they're finished, but they're not. There's still a lot to be done, both inside the common areas (installing fire extinguishers, etc.) and outside (repainting the walls because they already have "white spots" on the gray paint, adding the building number, finishing the gardens, etc.).

It seems the builder left it abandoned... still unfinished.

Do you know anything about these matters?


Regards.

If you've bought a flat there and aren't receiving any updates, wouldn't it be better to get in touch:

- The property developer

- The estate agent who brokered the purchase (if applicable)

- The local authorities (Câmara Municipal de Portimão) to check the status of the building licence...?

Hi Sofia, I am also looking for information on this Genuino Investment. I would appreciate you would share it with me.

@JohnnyPT, The builder isn't responding. It just doesn't respond.


I just wanted to know if other people were having the same problem.

Is anyone else having the same problems?

It is obvious that people are having the same problem as others have said it will be a year before it's completed. @JohnnyPT has advised on who else to contact; no one here are lawyers that can help on this matter.


You should contact your own.

I'm not interested in knowing their address. If you wanted to know their address or contact information, it would be easy to find that information. I don't think that information is of interest to me. It seems they didn't read what I wrote. Anyway...

As there are possibly others (but not me)  interested you could start a support group website, surprised there is no one already,  for people with a similar conundrum to yours. Then maybe move in a collective way which probably has more influence than randomly firing emails.
