From meter to house?
I'd say that was the owners responsibility surely?

Re the water leaks. Ask the Administrators if the Community Insurance Covers this. Some people don't have their own Buildings Insurance and rely on the Community as we found when Tiles were blown off during a small Hurricane and caused damage to several Villas.

All things that you were aware of when you bought the place?
Actually, no. No-one mentioned it. I never lived in Spain and I didn't know the place was part of a community.The first thing I knew was when we got the bill. The vendors, estate agents and solicitors never mentioned it. Call it naivety or whatever you will.

Hi All...I have a friend who was originally on a community but via his solicitor opted out. He was in the situation where he would have to pay community fees ...pool etc and had his own pool. I think the key was that his house had its front door facing the Council authority road and he opted out in the knowledge that he had no community access. So it can be done but I would suggest each case would be judged on its merits.

I was under the impression that if you bought a property that was part of a community of owners you remained part of the community by law, irrrespective of where your front door faced or if you had your own pool.
Many properties on communities have a front door that face council run streets but I wouldn't have thought that this would entitle you to opt out of the community.
Still .. this is Spain after all.

From the water main to the meter is the suppliers responsibility. Exiting the meter to the property is the
owners responsibility.

We were part of a community where one of the properties with their own pool had opted in! I understand it depends what the master deeds say, you need to ask the administrator for the community to investigate for you, and no you do not have to go through the President to speak to the administrator.

Street lighting is via the council, sewers via the council, road maintenance via the council, we have our own pool, yet we still have to pay 400 euros community charge a year and receive nothing more than a post box for our money.
Who pays for the pool cleaners and gardeners, if you have any, and insurance? Etc etc

I understand that but our meter is at least 40 Foot from the house and the pipe runs underground, is it ok for me to do the job myself, or do i need to ask the Admin.Jordy wrote:From the water main to the meter is the suppliers responsibility. Exiting the meter to the property is the

I do not know the law in Spain, but I would have thought that if you are part of a community you have to contribute to the costs.
If you are in a community of 30 houses, if you opt out what happens to your share of the costs you committed to? For instance, we have a couple of owners who are seldom there and have racked up debts of several thousand euros. The community are having to take legal action to recover the debts. Given the chance, those owners would simply say ‘I don’t use the facilities so I do not want to pay anything’.
If most owners opted out of their commitments, the problems would start coming back in your direction. Community goes bust - things go to rack and ruin - and you will never be able to sell.
Someone I know bought a house on a community where the majority of houses were never sold. It is something he cannot get out of as he cannot write the cost off and buy something else.
