Hi,hope that of an info about how to deal with a lousy maintenance company.we bought an apartment near Sunny beach.Paying 380 euro p.a for nearly no maintenance.
1.It is a british maintenance company and the commitee as well.Yearly meeting is only held when the favourites are there.Their excuse are that because of the school holidays even though to 90% of the Owners have grown up children.Most of the new comers Russian,Bulgarian etc were not informed about the meeting but then that 80% of the Owners have agreed to what they deide.
2.There is a forum for the Owners but when citics or thruth are told then the Owners will be slagged and called names.No commitee had ever come over to the complex to see how does the complex really looks like.
3.On the yearly maintenance financial reports are stated Solicitors fee,accountant(accountant reports does not look like when it is done from an accountant.The maintenance money are used for other matters but not for the maintenance.
4.we came to know that the maintenance is from april till end of September.as we asked about it,we were told that 80% of the Owners agrees to it,which Owners agrees to it,that we does not know.No new Owners were told about the period of the maintenance.
5.The maintenance consists of 1x cleaning the steps,2x weedings in the garden during the seasons.1x lawn mawing monthly.A little bit here and there.Spider webs cleaning on the staircase is only done when asked about it.Swimming pool water testing,none at all,so many Owners are afraid to go in the pool.Gutters cleaning,no way.Gutters full of dirt,moose etc.Cleaning lady are cleaning more outside the complexes and doing errands for the mainteance company.
6.The committee consists of 3 persons(it includes the treasury who have actually nothing to do with the maintenance fund because it is in the hand of the maintenance company).
I could write a whole novel.Can anyone give us a tip how to handle the committee and the maintenance company because they are working hand in hand but not for the Owners.
