buying an apartment?

Okay folks, I am an apartment purchasing neophyte. In Canada, we bought a house. Some of our friends have bought condominiums, which usually come with lots and lots of hidden fees. We are both career focussed people relatively useless with a hammer, so this time around we are thinking about buying an apartment in a building, but my question is, what sort of maintenance fees are likely? I haven't seen any mentioned on the real estate sites, but someone has got to fix the roof, right?

On that note, in purchasing a property, what sort of fees do we need to budget for in the purchase/sale? I'm assuming we will have:

- real estate fees
- legal fees (notary) - I noticed someone mentioned negotiating a fixed price was best - how much should we budget?

do we need a
- home inspection?
- title search?
- monthly condo fees?

If we are borrowing, are downpayments normal? I can't find anything about downpayments on HSBC malta, but we typically spend 5-25% in downpayment in canada....

We are considering spending between 100 000 - 150 000 euros on a property, to give you an idea of what sort of property we're looking for. Any advice on purchasing (as a non EU, yeesh) would be much appreciated. I'm just trying to build a financial picture of life in malta for us, before I agree to the numbers suggested in the contract.

Thanks in advance, this board has been super helpful so far and I'm looking forward to meeting you all when we hit the ground (could be as early as January, if all goes well)
