Hi all, my wife and I are trying to buy a house atm and we found a townhouse we like. B.C wasn’t listed in the add so we looked at it, to get told by the REA that it is under B.C and that they cost upwards of 6.3k a year… I’m new to all this and I think it’s ridiculous purely based on the fact that it’s a shared lot of 3 townhouses with small gardens, no shared amenities, no “gated community” style compound it’s just the 3 side by side. I asked if water was included in the B.C but in QLD it’s apparently included in the rates. The place is roughly 10-15 years old so I don’t see age being an issue. For reference I live in Townsville, the townhouse isn’t subject to flooding either. Just trying to wrap my head around this and if my wife and I could potentially re negotiate our B.C fees?
