AI summary

When buying an apartment or townhouse, you'll likely pay body corporate fees, which average $4,000 to $6,000 annually. These fees cover shared costs for common areas, including:

- Insurance and utilities

- Cleaning and repairs

- Maintenance of amenities like pools or lifts

Fees are influenced by the building's age, size, and facilities. Before buying, it's crucial to review the body corporate's financials and long-term maintenance plan to avoid future surprises like costly special levies for major works.
