This taken from a previous posting on an alternative thread questioning fees.
you asked
it is mentioned above that there are 4 different charges/fee when buying here, could you please explain what these are?
Also I'd be interested to know if the communities fees at roda are different depending on the phase?
Community Fee
On Roda if you buy an a apartment or townhouse the things this pays for is pool cleaning and repairs, garden maintenance, cleaning of communal areas in the blocks, building maintenance, communal water for the gardens & pool, telephone lines for the lifts, plus electricity for block lighting and gardens etc.
If you buy a villa there are no community fees but you are responsible for looking after the whole plot (including pool and gardens). There are also a few semi detached villas - these do pay a community charge to look after gardens etc but do NOT have access to a pool.
Each Community (and there over 15 of them) sets is own fees so yes they are all different.
If you want to send me a private PM I will let you know what they are for the apartments on Phase 2.
Entidad Fees
Unique to Roda (some other resorts have a Man Communidad Fee)
Fees are for security, bins and rubbish collection, street lighting, communal gardens round the perimeter of the resort plus water and electricity for the resort
IBI (Impuesto sobre Bienes Inmuebles)
The payment all property owners are required to make each year to their local councils (in Roda's cas San Javier) and is the equivalent of the UK’s rates, or council tax.
IRNR (Impuesto sobre la Renta de No Residentes)
Commonly known as “La Renta” – it is payable for all non-residents whether they rent their apartment out or not. If you own a property and are non-resident it is “deemed” that you must be renting it and so therefore have to pay a tax.
....................................
All fees in Spain are subject to coefficients or asset value.
size of property is important as Community/ENtidad fees are based on sq m contribution and will amount to very approximately 150 euros PCM depending on size and/or Community, they do vary a little.
IBI approx 450 euros per annum depending on size.
la Renta based on all your assets is around 150 per person per annum.
utility prices are reasonable IF you don't keep air con on all day.
