Speed - Is it of the Essence?!

Mark Twain once said “Never put off until tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow “– Especially if it’s August!

Hot humid and with what seems like the entire 900,000 Portuguese Paris citizens on their hol’s in their cars, everybody has taken the concept of how many different ways you can go round a roundabout to a new level! Good Times.

As many of you know we have relocated our office to a brand spanking snagging free place just outside Albufeira. As long as we have been in operation snagging here in the Sunny Algarve we have become used to the “it’ll be done in 2 days “time factor.

However we must surely award Portugal Telecom the “Tortoise Snagging Speedster Award “for taking just 23 days from the installation of our new phone line for it to become operational!!

Our new phone / fax number is 00 351 289 516650 or if you are calling from the UK dial 0208 1448200.

We are in the process of changing our brochures and updating the website – although how long this will take depends on who’s not on holiday! The original Snagging Overseas number will be operational in the interim period

Lots of movement in the developments we are snagging in Cabo Verde, Dubai and Portugal so check the blog for more updates and photos soon!

Snag Soon.

Snagging Utilities at Vila Verde - August 2010

“Get Connected”!!!

Connect with Snagging Overseas begin_of_the_skype_highlighting end_of_the_skype_highlighting with no Notarized Signatures required….!!!!

Further to our long ongoing debate with Electra regarding paperwork for the connection utility service we will be sending the information about this process in the next few days.

As you maybe aware Electra has continually changed the paperwork required during our discussions, more times than the coalition government changed sides during the recent elections! This was primarily over the requirement of a POA for Snagging Overseas begin_of_the_skype_highlighting end_of_the_skype_highlighting authorising connection of the services.

We have, at great length, explained to Electra how expensive, time consuming and unnecessary this can be. Particularly in view that we have connected utilities on other islands without requiring these documents. (And through Electra!) (Go Figure!!)

With this in mind we have secured an agreement with Tecnicil where by it would act as a guarantor for Snagging Overseas begin_of_the_skype_highlighting end_of_the_skype_highlighting and on behalf of the new legal owners of the property.

In order to proceed with the applications for the connections we needed to ask our clients if you have or intend to enter into the Tecnicil Rental agreement.

For those clients signed up for the rental agreement, Tecnicil will guarantee with Electra that they will be responsible for missed payments.

For those that are not in the rental pool Tecnicil may request an additional payment of 100 Euros to cover possible missed payments. This deposit is refundable to Snagging Overseas begin_of_the_skype_highlighting end_of_the_skype_highlighting Clients should the non – rental owners decide to either enter the rental agreement or change the contract into their own or another persons name. This can be done on Sal at the Electra office in the capital.

For further information and the costs and pricing of our service please email info@snaggingoverseas.com or contact us on our new number! 00 351 289 516 650 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting 00 351 289 516 650 end_of_the_skype_highlighting

All our current clients signed up will receive an Email from Serafina on Thursday 12th August( we're not saying she's superstitious but no way was this being sent on Friday 13th! )
