AI summary

When buying an apartment or townhouse, you will likely pay body corporate fees for the upkeep of shared spaces and services like insurance, cleaning, and maintenance. These fees typically average $4,000 to $6,000 annually but can be higher for older buildings or those with more amenities like pools or lifts.

The fees are set in a budget approved at the Annual General Meeting (AGM). Before purchasing, it's crucial to review the body corporate's financial health to avoid future special levies for major repairs.
