Hidden/unforeseen and maintenance costs

Hello,

been looking at available properties on a couple of sites and am familiar with purchase costs and taxes.

What I cannot find, and I emailed one reseller and did not hear back, is what the maintenance/community charges are. I appreciate these are probably based on size of property, but as an example a two bed villa, what would they be?

assume it includes use of pools and facilities (not golf obviously ) does it include TV / broadband.

Any help would be appreciated.

is La Torre as nice as it looks?

We have a ground floor apartment with one of the largest terraces, and pay around €120/mon for community fees. TV & Broadband (2Mbps) is €26.50/mon - although you can just buy this for short periods I think.

Hope that helps!

Hi,

Current approx on-going costs on Terrazas for a 2 bedroomed Penthouse Apartment (please not that these may vary even within site):

• Community Charge 1200 Euros pa
• Council Tax 340 Euros pa
• Non resident Tax - 70 Euros per person pa
• plus house insurance and utilities.

Spanish TV is free. There's about 40 channels with a couple of English ones but nothing mainstream. For any TV and Internet packages to need to look at A2Z Telecommuncaciones (www.a2ztelecomunicaciones.es) or see whether your block has set up its own service.

Pools are free to use and ongoing maintenance costs covered in community fees.

Thank you for your replies

are you all happy you chose la torre?

We're very happy with our purchase on Terrazas De La Torre. La Torre is a different site some 5km away.

Hi there 

this is actually the Terrazasa De La Torre thread, its a seperate site to Le Torre, although partnered to it.  You might be better to post your enquiry on the Le Torre thread as the community fees will differ. 

Oops! Thanks for pointing out.
