How many more families?
Investigative piece on the collapse of consumer protections in Palmela where more than 120 families — including expat buyers — lost everything after developers repeatedly sold the same house, in some cases up to four times. The report highlights systemic failures: an apparently unpunished builder, gaps in property and consumer law, and a market environment that erodes buyer confidence. It argues for urgent legal reform to protect purchasers and prevent further families being defrauded.
