Re land in Mauritius by anniquemorley670
Hi my family has land in Mauritius and just wondering if anyone knew the avenue of where to go on how to claim our land back.
@anniquemorley670 My family took out a contract on the land they are living on. You may need a solicitor/notary to help. But, it's just a lot of paperwork & documents - birth certificates, bills, ID, etc Read More

You need a Wills & estate solicitor by the sounds of it. If there is a Will that needs to be followed. If there is no Will it does not have to be a unanimous decision to sell - all eligible beneficiaries need to get their share - which means ... Read More

Does anyone here fix or install water pumps to tanks ? by AussieInMauritius
One of my water pumps is not working. It is the pump that attaches to the water tank. Is there anyone that can give me a quote to fix it or replace it if needed. Thanks in advance.
LOL the emergency is over. A wonderful local worker was walking by that I knew. I asked him to have a look. He asked for a screw driver & WD40. He opened it, twirled something, put in some oil, closed it & it worked. It was like magic. I was ... Read More

Car engine disposal by engelbw2
Hi. I recently had to replace my car engine and the mechanic gave me the old engine as he had no use for it. Is there anywhere in Mauritius where I can safely dispose of the engine, like a scrap yard or recycling company?I'm asking because I care ...
@engelbw2 Perhaps a larger mechanic/repairer will take it. Maybe post it on marketplace or something as free. Also, there are people that pick up metal/scraps etc, but they usually only do this in local areas - worth a look though. Thanks for caring ... Read More
