France completion Dec 2007

I have just received an intimation from the building owners of the handover date of P5 as 17-Jan-08 and asking us to pay 19,198/- as the maintenance fees and land registration fees for 1-BR. The strange thing is that until the last time I spoke to the owners' representative (a week ago) he insisted that there are no further charges that need to be paid by us and Land registration could be done by us later by us after the handover.

I think this is a rip-off because:
1. They are charging 11.7 psf maintenance which exceeds some of the luxury developments in dubai
2. They are charging for Insurance and Affection Plan which are the owner's responsibility
3. Land Registration charge - 2%. The fee from Land department is supposed to be 1% from owner and 1% from purchaser
4. Administration charges of 3,000/- which they have no right to charge.

If you have contacts of other people in the building we should join hands together and not pay the fee and instead jointly protest. My mobile no is 050-6588029
