Thank you Richard and Henry for their prompt replies. This is worth the ask already as the agent has quoted 60 euros a month for community charge and Richard confirms 100 euros. The other costs we would like to know are insurance costs to cover building and contents and any broadband costs.

What does Catastral value mean? we assume it is the yearly value of the property and if this is so does it start at the price paid and increase or decrease based on property price changes?

How did both Richard and Henry find their lawyers through the agent or recommended through another owner?

Really pleased we found this forum. Thank you all owners in anticipation.

We are coming over in three weeks time on an inspection visit to Terrazas and if we like what we see and decide to buy can any member tell us what the annual running costs are? We want the property for ourselves and our two daughters and their families and do not intend renting to cover any costs so all the costs will be with us. We have some costs given to us by the agent but we want owners to tell us 'warts and all' as we would rather know from those who own and know. Any other tips would also be greatly received and appreciated.
