£75/month for a 3-bed flat in an Edwardian house conversion (3 flats). Total income from the 3 flats is ~£300 a month. The main outlay is buildings insurance (~£1500 from memory) and then the rest trickles in to a sinking fund. Currently near empty as we had some repointing work done, and we've got a bit more to do next year.
Other works are some pollarding of trees with TPOs, but these only get done every 3-4 years and the divvying up is a bit more complicated (we all pay for the two trees in the shared part of the front garden, and everyone pays individually for the trees in their own private garden areas [luckily we have none]).
We're a share of freehold so we do it all ourselves, so no management company or fees. Reminds me, I should ask downstairs for the latest set of accounts.
