Builder recommendations Mojacar

Hi,

Wow, you have really set yourself some targets.

If you go to the Town Hall they.will give a list of accredited, legal builders and architects although you can find lists on The Almeria Focus Magazine and Directory which is also on line. Not sure if you have to be legal to have an entry.

Would have thought your Solicitor could have advised re. the above.

Almost all building work requires authority/ permission & a permit from the Town Hall/Ayuntamiento whether it be for small work or not. I understand it has become increasingly difficult to obtain permission to have a pool constructed but this is hearsay.

I would never take the word of any builder that permission has been granted but would want to see the permit itself but in english. Any comeback would be on you.

The staff at the Ayuntamiento on

are excellent and I have found them helpful at all times. E correspondence is in English.

Well I hope this post will be one of many from a.number of members but feel from the work mentioned you need a bona fide Building Company and not some jobbing builder.

Best Wishes,

Bob and Sandra

Thanks guys. Yes our solicitor has provided us with lots of information and direction but we really wanted to get the opinions of those who have been through it all. All very much appreciated. 

Don't do it. If you buy you are always tied; easy to buy but impossible to sell.

You can rent very nice places forever and keep your equity intact. And you will need even that after you get residence and into the heath system.

Also, look at Spanish inheritance laws; many pitfalls!

Yet another prophet of doom with their cup half empty?

I would recommend a conversation with Mike Hamilton at Hamilton Leon (google them for a phone number or e-mail). They are based in Lorca, so I'm not sure how keen they are to stretch to mojacar, however they are knowledgeable, professional, and will help you through the planning process as well as doing the work to a high standard.

Hello Kev imo David Pritchard is the best builder around. Totally honest and legal. Lovely man and family. Only downside is he is a Bolton wanderers fan. Lol.  He will deliver a first class job. 

Hi could someone send me David Pritchard's contact details please. Not worried he is a Bolton fan - lol

Many thanks - Tony & Debbie

Hi Tony. David advertises in the Focus magazine. Mac

Ta for the advice. As for Mr Pritchard.... I made a phone call to enquire about interest and availability, sent plans via email as requested and have since emailed twice without even the basic courtesy of a response. This typifies Brit tradesmen.
