Holding costs - townhouse development

A couple of scenarios for you as I need some inputs for cashflow modelling.

What are the anticipated statutory/govt and strata, body corporate holding costs for a 5 townhouse development once constructed and titled. Considering 2-level townhouses built over garage and hence no lift.

Scenario 1: 5 townhouses constructed and retainedin portfolio after construction
Scenario 2: 5 townhouses constructed, 3 townhouses retained in portfolio, 2 sold

Assume no complex maintenance issues for both ( i.e. no lifts, no hydraulics ).

What are the anticipated additional cost if lifts, hydraulics ( pumps ) and fire systems are needed?

Are body corporate costs charged on a per-dwelling basis? Are they typically apportioned based on sizes of the dwellings?

 

A QS would be best to advise your life cycle coatings.

A surveyor can advise you the different methods of applying lot liabilities. But if they all have the same useage needs and rights to the common property than you can make a case for size or equal allocation of liability IIRC.
