Water & Electric Service Charge

[teetee]

Have just had an email from our maintenance company saying that we have to pay a service charge for these services this year, is this normal as I do not remember having to pay this in the last 5 years?

Any comments would be appreciated.

I don't know about water but Aydem have started in February charging us 23.70 ytl a month , it adds up when you are not there!

Thanks littledevil for this info anyone else have any additional info about this?

Recieved our latest leccy bill on Monday and no service charge, same as all the previous months.

Maybe a charge on bills with low/no usage? i.e. empty properties?

[littlereddevil]

Yes it seemed to be a charge for when we had no usage,cos when we were there in April we had our normal bills. We hadn't been there since October and had no bills until February when it was 23.70 then same in March, another 23.70ytl .
They've probably decided it is a good way to get extra money. And of course they wouldn't send a letter explaining

I have asked for clarification from them to see what they have to say and will let those interested know what they say.

Well another money making decision.

According to the maintenance company they have now decided to charge us for paying our services bills which they have done as part of the service which they have offered over the last 6 years......and as I asked member on CBF what is an average cost off annual maintenance on a site of apartments and they seemed expensive at about £730 a year each, well I think I will be looking for recommendations for a change to put to the other owners when the renewal comes around!!!
