It's Not Just the House Price: Let's Talk Hidden Surprises!

Buying your dream home is a bit like going to the movies you think you're just paying for the ticket, but by the time you add popcorn, a drink, and that giant box of Maltesers, your wallet feels considerably lighter. Similarly, there are a bunch of extra costs to watch out for beyond the listed price.

Common Additional Expenses

• Stamp Duty: The government's little "welcome to the neighborhood" gift don't forget to budget for it!

• Legal & Conveyancing Fees: Paperwork doesn't file itself (though we wish it did).

• Building & Pest Inspections: Because no one wants unexpected roomies with six legs.

• Loan Application Fees: Even borrowing money costs money talk about irony!

• Moving Costs & Utilities: Boxes, trucks, and connecting the wifi so you can watch cat videos on the first night.
