Hello, I have a question now. I often read about additional costs of up to 500 euros per month after building a house.
Why is this amount so high? There might be new items like insurance, but shared additional costs are also paid in a rental apartment, right?
Or am I missing something else? Thank you ☺️

especially reserve funds are always a topic with pros and cons
It should not be forgotten that in large housing developments, the costs are generally lower than for a single house. Everything is shared.

The property tax seems to be extremely different. We pay 588€ per year or 49€ per month for property tax, stormwater fees, and all waste disposal charges.
Our total additional costs amount to 305€.
We do not set aside monthly reserves for the house. We have an account with a certain amount X that we feel comfortable with.

So if you have an apartment with 100m² (1,076 sq ft) and then a house with 150m² (1,615 sq ft), you can roughly calculate using a factor of 1.5.
On top of that comes the maintenance of the outdoor area, which probably had less impact in the apartment.
With 300€ you are already not too far off, more or less.

For example, in our case, just the elevator, building superintendent, and hallway cleaning cost nearly 90 euros per month for 6 units.
Those costs will be eliminated in the future...
so it always depends on the individual case and personal habits.

Alessandro15 May 2020 08:54@Zaba12 you only pay 44€ per month for internet? oops:
What about TV, streaming services, etc.?
I also estimate 500€ monthly additional costs for a 200sqm (2,150 sq ft) house with an air-to-water heat pump
