We own a house in Spain which we have rented for a year.
Last December we paid a bill of 120euros for water and the next bill in March was also 120 euros which the tenant complained about.
In 8 years of owning the house we did not think we had a problem.
Aguagest said with their bill that their must be a leak. They came out and identified the leak was outside the house and said we should contact the community
The community admin said the community insurance should cover this. Then they said the insurance would not pay and they had an estimate for the work of 700 euros. The bill has now arrived and is 1180 euros.
The leak was about 2 yards from our garden gate outside our neighbours property. The water meters are in the centre of the community .
Our insurance will not cover the leak as it does not affect the house.Does anyone know if we should really be paying. we have no control over what goes through community land and works have been done by gardeners etc outside the houses.
