Maintenance Charges
« on: October 30, 2008, 11:37:51 AM »
Would be interested to know what maintenance charges people pay to companies!   At the moment with four apartments and average size pool including garden maintenace, pool (average sized) cleaning and maintence (including new pump if necessary) , water for pool, chemicals, and outside electricity for hall, porch and gate light, we (four of us) pay £65 per month for twelve months of the year , which I feel is a lot.   We also know this will be increased next year.   Has anyone a similar sized complex and what do they pay?

I'm on a similar set up (4 apartments and pool) and I would say that £192 p.a. each for the services you have described is 'ball park' and not extortionate.

We pay £65 a month EACH per month per year.  If anyone has any recommendations of good maintenance people for Ovacik area who do inclusive deals like ours (we have now outside bills at all!) at a more reasonable price I would be interested!

Kinell BikerChick - your note said "we (four of us) pay £65 per month" so I thought you meant £65 between the four of you not that you are paying £65 each. I'll change my opinion - that is extortionate!

Thanks what I feel!   Could do with some good recommendations of other maintenance companies.   We are not even living in the apartment, we have a villa elsewhere!   Problem is one of other owners feels price ok?[:(!]

Our complex of 12 villas had the same problem, Hanel suddenly pulled out, quick meeting and went with one company for 85 pounds per month, next year they want 110 pounds, but have got in touch with 5 others, so they can,t agree until the annual meeting, at least 7 out of 12 have to agree with any major decisions, but have been told we can run it ourselves with a good manager and much cheaper

Hi £65 per month seems much to much.
