Did you pay the 2 months deposit to the estate agent and do you have a receipt for this?

If so, then I would suggest you go back to the estate agent and ask for their complaints book.

Something similar happened to us - the estate agent tried to keep 350€ from our deposit for a 'deep clean' and we too had actually left the apartment cleaner than when we moved in. They also had gone and done the inspection without us! They said it was standard to do a deep clean after a tenant moves out so I asked why they hadn't told us this before we'd spent hours cleaning the apartment, especially after I'd sent them an email saying I woudl be cleaning the apartment but leaving the mould on one of the walls in the bedroom so the owners could see why we were moving out!

As soon as I asked for the complaints book, their attitude totally changed, they returned the full deposit!

I do hope you manage to resolve this as I know how stressful it is!

 Hi Jon07

We have rented (long term) an apartment in 2 of the golf complexes on the way to Benahavis - Benatalaya and Capanes del Golf.

They are both very nice complexes with excellent facilities and good security. We have moved away from there, to Estepona Port, mainly because we felt very isolated as you need a car to do anything (although since we moved they have built a supermarket opposite Benatalaya).

We did encounter other issues in both complexes but that was more to do with personal preference than anything else and so whether they're right for you, will depend on what you're looking for.

Damp and mould have also been an issue in a couple of the apartments we have rented so be aware of that when looking.

 

If you have any other questions, ask away!

 I agree that you must try Estepona for all the reasons VickiT gives. I live there though so I AM biased!!
