Lower maintenance depends on design, installation, condition and use, not simply the price of materials.
Inspect the whole property
Consider roof access, drainage, exterior finishes, gardens and ageing equipment. Ask about warranties and service requirements. A premium product or particular roofing material is not automatically durable in every setting.
Compare long-term obligations
Allow for cleaning, repairs and replacement over time. For strata, shared facilities may reduce your direct work but add levies and future costs. Use building advice where necessary and avoid a guarantee that one finish produces permanent savings. The most useful choice fits your capacity to maintain it.
