;18461]Hi to everyone, We are new to this forum, but have been long members on another ex-pat forum. We look forward to making new friends here and exchanging tips and info.

We are Michael & Dawn from Blackpool, Lancashire, and we are in the process of organising our relocation to the Costa Del Sol, and setting up all of our viewings for potential bars. We are flying to Malaga in about a month to meet up with about 3 or 4 agents, and have a dozen cafe bars to look at.

I would be very happy if there is anyone who could tell me of any good commercial agents they have dealt with, and more importantly what BAD ones too.

There are about 10 agents that i have been dealing with, and about 5 of them have been really helpful, concise and friendly. Its just a matter of setting up the viewings now, we are dependant on a house sale here in the Uk though, so we are waiting at the moment....i am itching to get going though. Even had all my quotes through from removal companies..he he ...

I appreciate that on the forum its not really allowed to "advertise" or put website links in, so if anyone has any comments, it would be great to send me a private message, and i will acknowledge it on the thread.

Looking forward to hearing from people.
