As houses are now finished in the first phase, viewing can be arranged immediately.

(back to questions)

20. What are the community fees?

Community fees will be either very low or even, non existent. For owners of the terraced houses, with use of the communal gardens and swimming pool, there will be a community charge levied. This cannot be calculated until a much later date but is expected to be quite low per household. As owners of the detached villas have the option to build their own swimming pool, it is not expected that these owners will need to use the community pool. As all roads, street lighting and general maintenance of the urbanisation will be carried out by the local town council, there will in effect not be any community charge for detached property owners. Both owners of terraced and detached houses will pay their annual I.B.I. council tax in the normal way to cover these expenses.
