I am buying a property in Cape Verde and wish to know if anyone can recommend a good and knowledgeable Solicitor for buying in Cape Verde.

Thanks in advance.
 
I don't know any solicitors but have you done a proper background check on Cape Verde? Speaking to some property people who have been out there they said there is no way in hell they would invest there. Away from the developments its basically a third world country. There are no amenities and nothing to help the local economy. It also has little or no water. So how on earth are they going to keep all the planned golf courses going? If you check out the CIA World Factbook it tells you a bit about it including "This island economy suffers from a poor natural resource base, including serious water shortages exacerbated by cycles of long-term drought". Thirty percent of the population are below the poverty line and GDP is only $6,200.
If you've done your homework and are happy with your decision then go for it - if not then don't jump with all the other lemmings
 
Try Tom Mc Grath Solicitors he has direct contact with a large Portuguese firm who also have associates in CV,
 
I agree with aaa1. Can't understand the appeal of Cape Verde at all. In the middle of nowhere, too.
 
Holiday Options UK have flights and accomodation for 2006
Thompson holidays have Cape Verde in their 2007 brochure..
If you need to visit
 
cant ever see any cheap flights to this place. too far away.
 
I know this is drifting away from the OP's question, but give it another year or two and we will start to see posts from people on how to sell their overpriced, unrentable loss making properties in Cape Verde.
 
wasn't there a furore in the papers about CV and Eddie Hobbs....
yep ,just checked ,he's got an ad on his web site for CV eddiehobbs.com.
it might help but obvioulsy if he's plugging it then it will all be one sided
 
Flights from Dublin
Falcon Holidays announces start up of package deals and flights to Cape Verde starting 21st December 2006

TAP also flying To C V via Lisbon 3 times weekly
 
I have recently ordered a brochure called Idyllic Islands off Africa and the water shortage is mentioned even by the hotels so no bathtubs! Seriously though wouldn't even go there for a holiday from looking at this particular brochure..if I was going that far I'd stick to Senegal which at least has an established tourist industry.
 
Hi Carlos,

I too am very interested in Capo Verde. Would love to hear some feedback from you regarding your property hunt
 
"Overseas Property Law" deal with Cape Verde. Thay are an Irish Company (I think) Saw them at the RDS Expo over the weekend. They have offices somewhere in Dublin.
