I will be purchasing a mobile home in Torrox costa and wonder if anyone had/has experience of this ? I am also trying to find someone to completely redecorate it and build a wood pergola along with a few other minor jobs. New to the area so anything you may know that may help, will be most appreciated.

I will warn you  against Multiservicios David y Jesus, who has an office central on the Costa. They are completely scrupulous and notorious liars. They closed an outdoor terrace in my house, claiming they had got building licence and that they had used an architect, for which I paid 1200 EUR. They did not have a proper licence, had not used an architect, and I had to get everything re-done. I lost around 7000 EUR for which they denied to compensate anything. I could bring them to court but they have spread their assets on bank accounts in the names of wives and relatives, so my solicitor says it will be difficult to get the money back. The re-building was done by Emanuel Bermudes, who lives in the pueblo. He speaks fluent English and is very reliable. I'll send you his e-mail through the private messaging facility.

Thank you very much for advice. I have taken note of what you have said and will send an email to the person you recommend, to arrange a meeting to look at the work required. 

I expect to be there in a few weeks time and will make contact when I have a firm date.

I am sorry to here of your trouble and I understand how frustrating it is when you find you are dealing with dishonest people.
