moved into a housing development recently. it's around 5 years old.
there are fees of around £100pa to a property management company for grounds maintenance, public liability insurance, property management fees etc
now this was a surprise to me and most people in the development. it was never mentioned by the estate agent until after the sale. when home owners questioned it there was no debate, it must be paid or face legal action.
it's all a bit of a joke, paying for a few square meters of grass to be cut several times a year
how common are these fees now?
i've always know about them within apartment and flat complexes where there would be maintenance of common areas but housing developments... these are not huge houses, 3 bedroom. we're not people with a lot of money to hand over on top of paying a mortgage.
anyone else got stung with this?
