Hello I wondered if anyone can help me?

Hello I want to buy a home in the Rhine phals Germany and I have found a number of estate agents but my german is still a bit rusty all I need to know roughly speaking is what are the basic costs of having a property in Germany like council tax and water standing orders electric standing order are they very high? I know it depends on where.and how big a house but what do you think in general, It is just that I have a french pension and health care so I will not be able to transfer them I don't think? so I will have to keep a house in France aswell hence the question about the general basic charges. The charges here are all the same for water and electric no mater where you are. I hope someone can help me thanks
