Prices of utility expenses?

Hi,

Besdies paying rent - how much are utilities - electricity, gas, telephone - in general.


Cheers!

Besides rent you should budget on the following (I'm giving my figures as I know they are reasonable and low):

Council tax: £120 - £140 / month (based on the value of the property)
Water: £28 / month
Electricity: £18 / month
Gas: £20 / month

Telephone depends on whether you go with packages etc, but you can expect to pay about £12 / month.

Yes mulderpf, your numbers are indeed low.

You would need to provide a little bit more information where you want to live, how many, your expectations, i.e. flat/house etc.

BTW, this question should go to the 'Settling in' forum.

Sorry, should have added that this is for two people and we don't use excessive amounts of electricity or gas (water is not metered).

86ti - this isn't even with all the additional discount I can get for dual fuel, direct debits and long term contracts. I'm moving shortly, so it may go down even more.
