FibbyUK....you may very well think that, I couldn't possibly comment ! 

Roberto... I am already on the case re quotes etc and can show substantial possible savings. I have prepared a budget and just need to finalise a couple of things ready for the AGM.  In answer to your question re gardens etc...It is currently a two person job and no, it doesn't need to cost that much.

We have to pay some towards the local community. The urb has 102 apartments. 3 swimming pools and 15 lifts. Nothing out of the ordinary.

I live in an urbanisation in Mijas Golf.  Costa del Sol.

The worst aspect of all this is that there are some owners who are quite happy to pay these fees and think they are getting a good service. It is amazing that they do not believe me when I tell them the fees should be at least 30% - 50% lower than they are with no adverse consquencies.

My daughter is. Mine are 'only' 3700. Needless to say I am attempting to organise owners to revolt against these extortionate fees at the AGM early next year.

You don't know the half of it.

How would you like to pay community fees of over 5,000 per year ?

Hence, my other post re Gardeners and pool cleaners. (Current total of 54,000 per year for the two contracts!).
