Title: villa cleaning and pool maintenance cost?
Post by: scouser2 on September 03, 2011, 12:44:57 PM: Hi all.
Some friends are buying a villa in Ovacik. They have been quoted £100 per week for pool cleaning and a once a week villa clean. Is this the going rate?
Thanks.
Chris.

Have they tried FPS Engin ... He's been looking after our pool on the complex this summer and done an excellent job considering we have had a leak from the pool all summer yet against the odds he as kept it topped up and adjusted chemical levels daily so it could be in use; fall marks to him:D

Best advise your friends to get a couple of alternative quotes.

Apparently this guy is called Omer, and has a few English clients with villas ALL paying 100 quid a week!!
Does anyone in Ovacik know if their neighbours are paying this extortionate rate?

This maintenance guy has offered for my friends to meet a client of his this week. I think I will tag along to see what muppets are paying this guy.
