Problems with the 'Rough Justice again' thread... my previous post has been deleted... !!

hi there.
this is Sandra, leigh's partner.
Leigh has just arrived in Murcia tonight.  He is checking the snagging tomorrow and completing on Thursday.
He phoned me just now and said he was talking to a lady who has property in La Torre, they spoke about management fees.
The lady said that Condado is going to be a lot more expensive than La Torre.
Her fees are 300 euro's a month.

Anyone have any idea what ours at Condado is going to be?
I will be glad when its all signed and completed, its unbelievable how much stress it has caused, im sure you all feel the same way.
Its got to be worth it in the end.....has'nt it?

NO WAY!!!!!  I was told 'around 60 euros per month.  There is, of course, a simple answer - DUMP PW!!!  If they are charging this sort of money then I am sure another management co will be only too happy to step in.

I thought it was a management fee not another mortgage!!

€300 a month.......

As Sean Connery would say, "shurely there's shome mishtake Mish Monneypenny".

Management fees at Le Torre are nowhere near €300 per month.

seems that lady on the plane has got it very very wrong, thankfully.

Thanks for your replys, they have made me feel happier about the fees.

Do you mean community fee or property management fee?

We were told community fees of around 70 Eur per month for a apartment.

It is difficult to compare like for like across the different PW resorts and other resorts have already dumped PW and employed a different company.

Bear in mind that the fees are charged using a set formula. (I have seen this posted on the EOS general forum) If this lady had a 1m Eur villa then she could well be paying 300 Eur per month.

My advice    DON'T PANIC!!!!

Really don't mean to sound snippy but before posting statements that are likely to cause panic can people check their facts (as far as possible) as things like this thread set everyones nerves on edge. 
A few well aim questions at the woman in La Torre should have been able to clear up exactly what was costing her 300euros without anyone having to jump to conclusions, make assumptions or panic.

Hi,
Agreed. A couple of comments:
Condado is going to be more densely built than the other PW resorts meaning community fees are likely to be lower rather than higher.
We don't even know whether Condado will be one community or split (jardins, Naranjos, etc).
Given what I've seen of what has happened on other PW resorts who were keen to dump PW I'd advise caution. Probably better to stick with them for a few years until everything settles down and then consider options. PW aren't always as bad a bet as some like to make out.
Overall, don't panic or spread panic until you know what the position is... Plenty of other things to worry about in the meantime ! 

 

Hi All

I agree with the comments below about not asking questions which may be a concern to others if you can easily establish the facts yourself before posting, that way others are not coursed additional worry unnecessarily.

However if you have an issue that is concerning you and you don’t know the answer, don’t just sit on it and say nothing in case you worry others. First look back at old threads you may well fined the answer, but if not ask about it on the forum, that way others may be able to put your mined at rest as hopefully has been done in this case, (by the way this issue has been raised a number of times in past and the consensus is that the community fee are likely to be in the region of 80 euros per month)?

Over the time this forum has existed lots of information has been sheared some bad but often good, many things have been first raised as something that has started out as a worry to just one person but by asking the others members about it we have all been made aware of the issue, providing us with the ability to be forewarned or allowing us to allay the individuals concern.

The information and knowledge I now have, I would not have had, if I hadn’t been part of this forum and often this starts with someone asking a simple question.

Please keep asking so we can all learn, at least that’s my opinion.

Regards

Phil
