AI summary

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

- Insurance and utilities

- Building maintenance and repairs

- Upkeep of amenities like pools or lifts

The cost is influenced by the building's age and facilities. Before purchasing, it's crucial to review the body corporate's financials and long-term maintenance plan to avoid unexpected special levies for major works.
