Hello,

besides electricity and heating costs, which I have a rough idea of, what other monthly expenses can a homeowner expect?

- Water, approximately how much?
- Waste collection, approximately how much?
- Mandatory insurance?
- What else is there? Any kind of taxes?

Approximate figures are fine; a difference of around 50 euros won’t matter.

Thanks in advance

Water, heating, and electricity are initially highly dependent on your individual situation.

Otherwise, a few things that come to mind immediately are:

- Chimney inspection
- Heating system maintenance
- Waste disposal (you can inquire about this at your local municipality)
- Household contents insurance
- Building insurance
- Property tax...

But don’t worry.
I’ve asked myself the same question.

How do you know the costs for heating and domestic hot water preparation?

I currently have the costs as well, and they shouldn’t change all that much.

I would strongly reconsider that!

Meaning? I’m calculating about 100 euros for electricity prepayment and 100 euros for heating prepayment. 50 euros for water and sewage. That would be 250 euros per month. Can I manage with 150 for the rest? Waste disposal, chimney sweep, taxes, insurance?
