We had assumed that communal charges would include pool, maintenance, gardening and security, if any. However, having researched 2 properties and corresponded with several estate agents in Fethiye, we noted that some complexes also charge communally for water and electricity. Now, given that we want to stay at the one we buy for 8 weeks maximum and maybe 4 weeks for family and friends, all in summer, we've had a deterring thought. Wouldn't this mean that for people who live at the complexes all year round, who use far more water and use electricity/gas for heating through the winter, we would be paying for their bills more than ours ? Has anyone any experience of this and is it the norm ? If so, is a smaller complex better than a large one ?
All opinions welcome.
