Hi, you all seem really knowledgable reading the threads about communidads etc. I have a basic knowledge of the process but I am virtually ignorant of lots of the detail. I bought a property last May and as yet the developer has not signed over  (or whatever he has to do) for us to set up a communicadad. What I need to know is :
What can we be charged for?  
What are the usual fees charged?
I'd be grateful for any information.

Thanks Astelle

You will be charged for your share of any shared expenses for services such as cleaning communal areas, gardening, pool maintenance etc., lift maintenance, electricity for lifts and communal lighting (stairs & corridors, for example), building insurance if you are in an apartment building, etc.etc.
When the property is officially handed over by the developer, an adminsitrator is normally appointed, who will work out an annual budget for all these kind of expenses. Your share of the budget will be calculated according to the coefficient (%) stated on your esctritura (deed).
As for how much you will pay - how long is a piece of string? It all depends on what facilities the community has, and between how many properties the cost will be divided. Some members here pay low charges, maybe €30 per month. Others may pay 10 times that!

Welcome to the forum, hope you find all the answers you need here. Who's the puppy? Real cute!

If you have a look at golfgardensmiraflores.co.uk you can have a look at the AGM tab and read what went on at our last meeting and also the budgets we put together for the running of the community. For your interest we are a community of 60 apartments
