What is the Management Agreement?

Most properties in Ireland are liable for waste charges and every property must be insured and the grass must be cut regularly. Lodges and cottages in Clifden Glen are no different in this regard. In addition the site services in Clifden Glen such as roadways, public lighting, and "mains" water and sewage treatment are not vested in Galway County Council. The cost of maintaining these services must be met by the properties that utilise them. The charge for 2005 was €1,800 plus VAT per Lodge and 65% of this for Cottage properties. See Management page. The management fee has not changed since 2005.

What is the situation with ESB accounts on the site?

All properties are individually metered for ESB. The heating system is electrical.

What is the position with the existing club house and reception building?

These buildings are owned by the management company and not the partnerships or property owners. The reception is a fine two storey new building housing the site reception and offices. This building is available for the benefit of shareholders and theirguests.
