Nicola ..check out bla bla car ...I used the ride share from Jaen to Granada, and aslo from Malaga to Duquessa...both rides were with nice people...and enjoyable conversations and of course a cheaper price. ALL drivers and passengers have to sign up and usually using FB details then its easy to see who you are travelling with. I will be back in November to Spain and Martos and will use the ride share again...I also found a lot of people leaving or going to Martos from many places in the south..check it out ..

Firstly you can book a taxi there is a company in Martos just google Martos taxis I know someone who came from the coast in one , and you can buy furniture from big mat builders merchants or look at the carrefour website and get them to deliver it that's easier

Hi there, Myself and my husband will be in Martos in a week to look at a house, we're excited to visit the town and to spend time in Jaen also. I'm wondering does anyone know of a good real estate lawyer in Jaen or ideally Martos (english speaker preferably) also does anyone know of a contractor or surveyor? I'm hoping the house is in good condition but its best to have it looked at. Nicole Brown, I'd love to get in contact with you, are you by chance Irish?

Cheers thanks! would appreciate any help/advice on these matters

[email protected] she's a very good English speaking lawyer but she's not in Martos , I also have a number for a good Moroccan builder if you're interested but he doesn't speak English

Hi Roklly
Nicola here from Devon, Britain. Not Ireland I'm afraid!!! How are you? Nice to hear your thinking of investing in Martos. I'm sure you will like it there. I used Undiscovered Spain(Derryl and Diego) when I bought my house. Diego acts on your behalf. They were both great and totally trustworthy. I didn't get a surveyor, although Derryl said I could use one if I wished . However it's all extra money and my town house is over 100 years old, and very solid, so I took a chance! I guess it depends on the property! So far so good! If I can help in anyway just ask away. I'm sure someone on this site will be able to answer most of your questions. I find it very helpful, good luck!

Rokelly

Thanks very much Timmy! That helps a lot! Do you think the Moroccan builder would be good at giving the house a look over and making sure the roof and everything is ok?

Rokelly

Thanks very much Nicole! Greatly appreciate all your advice, maybe I'll contact Derryl and Diego and see if they can help with purchasing the house and the contract etc. We still haven't gotten our NIE number and hope to be able to get one once there, do you know anything about that NIE number process by any chance? Cheers!

Rokelly

Thank you!!

Hi, I'm afraid Mohammed(Morrocan builder) is t available at present! Well he wasn't 3 weeks ago. I was told by Derryl/Diego he's been involved in an accident?? Another guy who worked alongside Mohammad has replaced him for now. This guy and Diego came to visit me to give a quote on rewiring my house. U fortunately I have still not received a price!! Mohammad, the previous builder made a great job of my terrace, so maybe he'll be back!

Rokelly

Oh no, I hope he's ok. Thanks for that info, Nicole... perhaps I don't need a surveyor, the house seems to be in good condition. Timmy, appreciate your advise and recommendations - I emailed Maria... hopefully shell get back to me soon. Really need an english speaking lawyer as we don't speak much Spanish but we're in the midst of learning and taking lessons. Anybody know if the NIE number is needed in the beginning stage of buying a house, we still need to get ours and we plan to pay a deposit next week. Timmy I will private message you now. Thank you both!
