If all is as scheduled and no parts need extra work or replacing:

Annual items £3-4k
100Hr Items £1.7-2k
50Hr £1k

I had a well cared for aircraft from new, always hangared, and a number of unscheduled items each year over my ownership (aux fuel pump, aux fuel pump, hydraulic servos, pitch links, crankcase seals, sprag clutch, oh yeah.... aux fuel pump) which varied between £1-7k each to replace.

Ownership can be fun but not generally economically worthwhile especially at 50hrs/year. Start a syndicate - the schools don't like them particularly as it eats away at their SFH clients and profits, but as an owner it makes far more sense...
