Would any one like to post the float and monthly fees they are expected to pay for onsite charges. Ours seem very high and rising all the time!!!!

We pay £45 per month on one site and £48 per month on another , which at present we think is fair . Hope this helps .

Hi Pipie,



A float is an amount of money usually kept for an emergency.

Not wishing to be nosy (really) but may I ask what services you get for what seems to be a lot of money? We only have an apartment and pay for communal area cleaning, garden and pool upkeep, but it is a lot less than your monthly fee. Of course, you may well be getting a lot for your money. The reason I ask is that maintenance charges seem to vary a great deal from what I have read.

Regards

Hi The-Wicks,



We have 3 outdoor pools on site and communal gardens which todate have not been landscaped properly, we have no other facilities on site. Unfortunately as we only have 57 properties on site this is the service charge we are being asked to pay. We have also been paying 10ytl a ton for water for two and a half years.

Hi The Butler,

Let me get this right 57 apartments @ £115-00 =£6,555-00. Our complex also has three pools, there are 33 apartments & the charges are £25-00 a month for one beds & £40-00 for the 3 beds. Could you not get together with other residents & set up your own maintance company.

Pipie - so they dont collect maintenance and insurance together - maintenance is completely separate - do you pay a one off fee or monthly for buildings insurance? Sorry to ask you all these questions! :(

Yes it really helps - thanks Pipie. Does everyone in your block also have buildings insurance? What would happen if one didnt?

Hi Bored Housewife,



Yes that figure does include Insurance although we do have our own building and contents insurance as Medviews isn't good enough cover. We would like to get public liability insurance from somewhere as well. Our site is made up of detached bungalows, detached villas and semi detached villas also some apartments. The service charge is different for the different properties. We own a detached bungalow. That price does include the council and property tax. We wish we could get our own management company in but unfortunately

we bought from Medview Homes and they will not let us move away.
