The following figures give some idea of the annual running costs for a property in Spain. Bear in mind that costs will depend on the type and size of property, on the facilities available to the owners (swimming pool. etc) and, for rates, on the particular Ayuntamiento making the charge.

Running Costs: Typical case

Expense	Annual Cost (£)
Community fees	60.00
Electricity	250.00
Water	125.00
Rates	80.00
Gas (bottled)	150.00*
Total	665.00

Costs will normally be in the range £600 - £700 per annum.
