Hi there, I own a one bedroom apartment in a complex with a mix of one bedroom and two bedroom. I pay the same management service fee ,is this normal or indeed fair?
Look at the lease first. Our lease apportions the service charge according to the number of bedrooms and also if a penthouse.
One prospective buyer at the open viewing was dissatisfied as the ground floor 2 bed he was interested in had the same service fee as the 5th floor 2 bed, arguing he should pay less as he will never use the expensive lifts, a reasonable argument. The agent was having none of it though, pointing out he will likely use the grounds a lot more than the 5th floor resident.
There are currently mixed blocks of 1 & 2 bed new apartments for sale near me, management service fees are €1.5K for 1 bed and €1.9K for 2 bed.
