Buying a home is not just about the deposit — it is about knowing when each cost is due. 📋
Here is the timeline most first-time buyers do not expect:
➡️ Upfront: bond application fees and your deposit
➡️ During transfer: transfer duty, attorney and bond registration costs
➡️ Before moving in: utility deposits and connection fees
➡️ From day one: rates, levies and insurance
Knowing when each cost lands helps you budget properly and avoid nasty surprises.
FPS Properties will walk you through the full timeline before you commit.
