AI summary

Buying an apartment or townhouse often requires paying body corporate fees, which average $4,000 to $6,000 annually. These fees cover shared costs like insurance, maintenance of common areas, and amenities like pools or lifts.

The building's age, size, and facilities influence the final cost. Before purchasing, it's crucial to investigate the body corporate's financial health and long-term maintenance plan. This due diligence helps you avoid surprises like large, one-off special levies for major repairs.
