Ongoing costs
The cost of purchasing a property is not the only financial commitment a homeowner will have. There are other costs and bills that should be taken into consideration.
As well as mortgage repayments, other ongoing costs for a property can include:
- council rates and taxes such as emergency services levy
- utility bills and connection costs such as electric, water, gas, phone
- strata fees
- building and contents insurance
- maintenance and upkeep of the property.
