What costs should I expect when buying a home?

Mortgage Brokers are generally a free service but there will be a couple of unavoidable costs there. These may include:

• A Registered Valuation ($800 – $1,200)
• Solicitor Costs ($800 – $1,500)
• LIM report ($150 – $400)
• Builder’s Report ($100 – $500)
• Weather Tightness Report for Monoclad houses ($300 – $1,000)
• Finance fee for non-bank lending (~1%)

Prices can vary. Always request a quote before ordering a report.
