Weve seen a lovely townhouse in a town centre location. Its freehold and comes with allocated parking space in a secure walled carpark with electric gates. On right move it states the service (maintenence charge to upkeep this carpark/ gate) is currently£220 a year. I
ve been reading this is common on new developments anyway and I can see that its fair all home owners on this development (its a line of new houses ) that we pay for its up keep. Its just this is the first time Ive come across this as the house we live in is a run of the mill semi on a normal road...no charges (1980
s housing estate).
So is this common? Does anyone else have similar? I`m just nervous! (its the house of our dreams though...., perfect location and everything!).
