Agree with you, add your name to the growing list of owners so you can get updated info and also be contacted if any actions are being taken. Send e-mail to asocondadodealhama@yahoo.com ask Sergio to add you name to the list.

RPM are new to Resort Management and and about to manage one of the biggest in Spain, We can do something about it, if we are not happy,but not untill the community is formed. Then we need 25% of owners to call a meeting to change things in a democratic way, if we need to, as we cannot get addresses we need individual owners to add their names and e-mail addresses to the list held bt Sergio.

See my earlier post.

Swimming Pools as Michael Hardy says all pools are common elements and can be used by anyone. has no bearing on costs for Gardens that should have had two but saves us all a couple of pool maintenance bills.

We are unlikely to get a breakdown hence we dont know exactly what we are getting for our money.

Perhaps all will be revealled at the next meeting?

There is a very good document on the La Torre site, explaining how their administrator has calculated the community fees.  It is clear from that document that the couta is not appropriate as a sole parameter for the allocation of costs, this figure was intended for small developments (eg. a block of apartments) rather than a large complex, and the law does allow for that.

(http://www.ltgr.es/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=44&Itemid=1&lang=english - then click the download link for Horizontal Property law & La Torre)

To apply properly the Cuota's of the development should add to 100 - which I would guess ours do per garden - although that is just a guess! 

We need to ensure that we have a formula that works and is fair for all, right from the start, or we end up arguing amoungst ourselves, rather than focussing on getting the overall fees down.

thanks Ted.  It was particularly interesting to see that the following statement in the article:

Administrador de Fincas, and a registered member of the Colegio de Administradores deFincas Rústicas y Urbanas.

"Firstly, it is important to note that Adminburgos are a firm of professional administrators established in 1991,

who belong to the College of Administrators. Oscar Castrillo is the Head Administrator for this resort and he 

s a qualified

This means he is trained and qualified to administrate property in Spain.

Admiburgos, as with all professional administrators, in Spain, receive guidance from the College of

Administrators on how to apply the Horizontal Property Law to large urbanizations such as La Torre, for

whom the act was never really intended. The act was originally designed for blocks of apartments and not

resorts with a combination"

It begs the question -Are RPM suitably qualified as above ?

so had problem pasting...but you will get the jist

I have since had a call from RPM, they assure me that my figure of 140 EUR will be reduced, what I can't understand is why it is over-inflated in the first place? they were very apologetic, almost embarassed! I am not convinced to be honest when the company running our resort cannot even get the figures right when I supply them my cuoto & plot number.

Sorry to moan, I love our resort to bits but I'm really p*****d off about this.

Hi All

We have read on some of the comments about a % amount being stated in the deeds , can anyone tell us where we find this figure,what is the title it comes under, we do not have a solicitor at the moment , as we had sack her, due to being ripped off !!!, so we can't get her to translate the document. Has anyone else been notified in Jardine 1 as we have heard nothing.

Thanks

Sandy

In my deeds its under the heading of CUOTA and the figure is in brackets (0.753%)

Hi all

I have just been reading up on this thread and i have to say that i am not impressed, we are going over next week to complete on our 3-bed in naranjos garden 4 and have just read a post from terry and jill that they are being charged €140p/m. this is double what we were told when we were handing over the deposit, is this just a case of polaris in bed with the administrators and covering the cost of the hundreds of properties that they have yet to sell, because i will throw my hat into the ring to get the cleaning job on the stairwells in the penthouses...........cleaners must be on some money in spain these days,

I will be asking a few questions when im over

mark

my glass was completely full but i think i have just spilled some

Hi Mark,

hope you didn't spill the contents of that glass on the stairs - they might put the charges up again for cleaning it up !!!

Hi All

Does anyone understand this % in the deeds , as when we purchased we were told that each Jardine would have it own commitee and the community charges were to be calculated  as to the amount of properties within that Jardine , if that was so surely the figures in the deeds were calculated on that basis. Now we are told that we are in groups  for each commitee Jardines 1 to 5, so how can these % vary so much ???? when we all have the same  2 types of properties and same facilities. When we purchased we were with some other people who were buying on a different Jardine, and we were told we would be paying the same about 50/ 60 euros. Really do not think Polaris should be able to do this without reasonable explanations in writing to us all. The way this is going the community charge will be more than the mortgage.
