    Good Morning All,

    How have you all been??

    I have been well and the sun in Sydney has been great.

    OK, down to business.

    I am trying find out the hidden costs like Body Corporate etc, associated with Multiple Residence properties.

    If anyone has any info on ongoing costs involved with living in the type’s of dwellings listed below please let me know.

    – Townhouse
    – Duplex
    – Villa
    – Unit
    – Apartment

    Thanks everyone, if there are any links that can help let me know of that as well.

    Have great day.
    Peace!! [:)][:D]

    Cheers,
    Teylu

    Hi Teylu – we have a duplex and several units. I feel Duplexes are preferable as units involve Body Corporates fees. These fees are roughly the same as local government rates (at least where we are) – I really wonder why Body Corporate Admin fees are so high.

    If you have a duplex you arrange building insurance yourself but I’d rather do that than pay Body Corporate fees – you feel like you’re more in control. Our duplex is pretty new and we haven’t had any maintenance problems.

    The other benefit of a duplex is you own the land as well (or at least your bank does!).
