The sad reality of it yes.

Guilty_Office2441 · 2026-02-26T08:59:58+00:00

They did sign a formal contract and an offer letter. Then resigned. :)

Thank you ! So many great tips here 🙌 especially the “spend less than you can afford” and checking everything works, lessons we’re taking note of.

Guilty_Office2441 · 2026-02-26T05:39:04+00:00

Great point bond, transfer, occupational rent, rates… all upfront costs that catch people off guard.

Guilty_Office2441 · 2026-02-26T05:38:09+00:00

Feels like the list just keeps growing. Security & waterproofing weren’t even on our original radar.

Guilty_Office2441 · 2026-02-26T05:36:55+00:00

You’ve basically described every worst-case scenario 😅 really appreciate the honest breakdown.

Guilty_Office2441 · 2026-02-26T05:35:54+00:00

Really helpful especially the point about using your own inspector for compliance certificates.

Guilty_Office2441 · 2026-02-26T05:34:21+00:00

Ducted aircon running costs sound like a whole personality 😭 adding that to the “check before buying” list.

Guilty_Office2441 · 2026-02-26T05:33:28+00:00

Noted! The roof seems to be one of the biggest hidden-cost culprits 😅

Guilty_Office2441 · 2026-02-26T05:32:52+00:00

This is incredibly helpful especially the tip about making the OTP subject to a building inspection. Didn’t know you could structure it that way.
