Hi everyone,
we have just received a cost breakdown from our solicitor where among other eye-catching things they stated that "Utilities" are estimated to 1.000€. What they state is following: "Cost to connect the services to your property (water, electricity, etc.) and domicile the payments by direct debit in your account."
Does anyone here have any other cost estimate? We have heard roughly 200€ for setting up this for a lease, so maybe it's different when it's newly built?

What do the rest of you think/heard from your contacts?

Hi Dubbster,
Thought I'd post my charges breakdown for comparison.
All comments are welcome.
Plus Valía Tax                                             TBC
Community of homeowners – initial fee          350 €
NIE Certificates:                                          175 €
Handling charges                                         150 €
Changing of utility service contracts:              320 €*
Water connection fee:                                  300 €*
Access to property – electricity technician:    140 €*
Fiscal representation:                                   250 €
2 Spanish Wills (includes Notary fees):          540 €
As you can see my 'Utilities' total is 760 €* but my 'handling charges' (whatever thay are) may also be in connection with the utilities which would push my 'Utilities' fees up to 910 € not too far away from your 1000 €.
I've requested a further breakdown of the above from my lawyers so I can see exactly where my money is going and I think you need to ask your lawyers for a breakdown of what 'Utilities' include.
I hope this helps,
James

There is certainly plenty of variance with these costs. I have been asked for:

 

Stamp Duties

1,500.50 €

*Notary Fees

1,000.00 €

*Land Registry Fees

1,200.00 €

50% Our Fees

1,276.00 €

*Utilities

800.00 €

Sundries

500.00 €

Items marked * are estimates. I have queried a number of these figures but have not had a reply.
