Hi
Just bringing this thread up the ladder as I think it is important for buyers to be aware of this extra cost, I am compleating on an apartment in Almoradi next week and have just recieved an e-mail from my solicitor asking me to bring an extra 900euro to the notary in cash to give to the builder for what he describes as property maintanence, I have since been told this is for connection to the water and electricity.
Why are buyers not told of these charges earlier or why are they not put in our contracts as builders, estate agents and solicitors must know at the outset that this charge would apply
Besides this and a few other costs we were not informed of by anyone in Spain but I knew to ask about becuase of this forum everything has gone well and I am looking forward to going out next week and owning my own home in the sun.
THANK YOU ALL ON EOS FOR YOUR INVALUABLE INFORMATION AND KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK
CHEERS
Dave
