Community administrator in Benalmadena
Benalmadena sits between Fuengirola and Torremolinos, split between the old town, Arroyo de la Miel and the coast. We look after communities here where many owners live outside Spain.
What the communities are like in Benalmadena
Benalmadena mixes communities lived in all year with urbanisations used only in season. That mix is what causes the arguments about how the money for the common areas gets spent.
So in Benalmadena the part that matters most is budgets and common areas. It would not carry that weight in a city centre block. A comunidad here should not be sold a service built for somewhere else.

Questions about Benalmadena
Do you look after communities in Benalmadena?
Yes. Benalmadena is inside the area we cover, which runs from Manilva to Benalmadena. We work in both languages and use the same Standard in every community, whatever its size.
Does my administrator need an office in Benalmadena?
No, the law does not require it. In practice it matters less than how fast they reply and how good the paperwork is. What you should insist on is one named person who answers, and who can come to the building when needed.
Can we change administrator in the middle of the year?
Yes. Article 13.7 of the Horizontal Property Act gives the administrator a one year appointment, and the meeting can end it at any time. You do not have to wait for the year end, and you do not have to give a reason. Just plan the handover of the records.
