When did you purchase your property?  My husband and I purchased in May 2006 and, so far, everything is OK.  SBV simply put money into our account every month (8% of purchase price etc).  When do they start deducting maintenance charges from the rent?  The Contract was checked by my solicitor and I wasn't made aware that any deductions would be made.  Can you please reply.

Thank goodness for the latest comment! My husband and I purchased in May 2006, having gone through everything with a fine tooth comb.  Because of Sands Beach Villas' history we were very dubious but wanted to purchase a good quality property which would bring an income and which would be a good investment.  We feel we have made the right choice.  Does anyone have anything else to add?

Are there any owners out there who have recently received a letter asking for the termination period to be reduced.  What are your feelings about this?  Obviously six months is great from the owners point of view, but I personally feel that the same notice should be given by the landlord.  At present, they're suggesting giving only 2 months notice.  

I would be very grateful for your comments/thoughts.  Many thanks
