That seems very good value. I think we will be paying about £80 per month,but that will not include 24hr security. the gardens will be tended and the pool kept clean. All service bills Elec/water/municipal tax etc will be calculated for each apartment and a bill sent.Our company ( Clover Management ) has a UK bank so transfers are easier. We went out to tender and all quotes were about the same. They are also going to organise painting of the apartments every 4 years. That will be extra according to costs. It seems to depend on the area you live and also the size of the complex. Ours is very small at 16 units.
If the management company is run by Brits the price goes up because they want UK Profit margins.
