Management fees if you buy in a managed estate.

After you move in, there will likely be a couple of grand worth of things that you have overlooked. Even simple things like having to buy a new shed will cost you the guts of €500. Fill the oil tank, €400. And so on; you'll need to have a couple of grand in reserve for this stuff.

Depending on what you are buying and what you already have, you can have loads of costs.
Kitchen appliances
Pots/Pans/Crockery/cutlery
light fittings
curtains
Furniture (beds, sofas etc)
carpets
Electricity/Gas connection fee/deposit
etc etc.

The list really goes on and on and depends on the condiiton of the house you are buying and what the owner is leaving behind. They could strip the house back to nothing!
