Not usually mate, that is on top, sometimes they say includes certain bills, but that is usually if you are only renting a room.

Single occupancy in a Band A property is typically £55-60 a month Council Tax.
Utilities rates vary depending on usage.
Budget for at least £100-200 a month on top of your rent unless you also have Sky/Cable, Broadband, etc.

I just got me leccy bill in for the last 3 months..............£370! Ouch! Phonebill £90! Sky £45 Rent £190 Mobile £50 Loan pymt £160 Food £150 Credit cards £200, AND ive written a chq for £390 which comes out at the end of the month.
MY advise.......... Stay at home as long as u can. Having a house does have it s benefits tho!
Its gonna be a rather quiet month for me this month
