Grrr, had to fork out £125 for the BT connection fee as I'm the first tennant in this flat :(

i started out and was paying british gas £15 a month each for gas and eleccy. its kinda built up and up and i owe about £500 on electric. so we've cut everything down, nothing on standby, no heating when its warm etc.

I got my quarterly water bill on Thursday. £143 :|

Really need to stop washing my car everyday :lol:

Had a broken water meter for a couple of years but then the came around and replaced them all :( Only used to pay £3 water and the standing charges.

I've not paid for water in two years as they've just not billed me. That'll be a nice surprise when it lands.

£50pm should well cover it if you're sensible.

I drive a very econnomic car with nice low emissions :)

Well I don't own a car so figure you can let me off :P

you must have a huge carbon footprint you bastards

I don't pay for water directly either. It's paid for out of the service charge for the building I'm in (water bill is for the whole building)...

ive got eactly the same setup mate, my last leccy quarter was £75, the quarter previous was £110, water £15 per month

Water and heating included in my rent, and 20 euros a month (about 12/13 quid) for electricity :P

Hmmm :look: Think I need to find that one out :)

No idea! Flatmate never paid for water in his old block of flats either!
Maybe theres an allowance for it in the rent

My leccy is about £50 a month for a 2 bed flat with electric heating. Also run a couple of PCs 24/7 so that probably adds £5-10ish...

My old flat it turned out we average around £90 a month (had a massive bill when we moved out) but we left both the night and daytime water heaters on all the time (lazy) and ran the air con a lot in the summer.

Na, it's gooing to be turned off most the time as the place has decent double glazing which gives you solar heating and keeps the place supprisingly warm. That and the water boiler keeps the hallway warm too.

It's got a large master bed, small second room, small kitchen diner and a small bathroom so all in all it's a pretty small place.

Just going with what I am for smallish flat combined electric & gas. £50 will probably be there or thereabouts.

Unless your one of these tarts that has the heating pumped up 24/7 :o

depends on size of place.... I'd think 50 would be an optimistic estimate for leccy if the boiler, heating etc are all on

Budget £50 a month

Just wondering what the average sort of price is for water and electricity as I need to start budgeting my money as I move into my new flat in exactly a week :D

It has electric storage heaters, electric boiler and and an electric oven and hob so no gas to think about. Then there's water too...
