In one in 10 suburbs and towns across the country, repayments are less than $200 a week higher than rent, for the typical property. In some suburbs, they are actually cheaper.
I hope someone here who is renting can find a place of their own.

Why do you need to do maintenance on the wiring and the plumbing? Those are things you repair if needed once every 20 years maybe. I had to replace an RCD switch for 20$ last year and that’s it. Foundations and roofs you do not touch like ever, I lived in a house that got no foundations maintenance in 600 years. For heating maintenance you need to bleed the radiators and cleanup the aircon radiators and filters, both of which are free.
EDIT: I mean, this probably is just part of the wood vs masonry difference. Probably wood houses are just more expensive to maintain
