Water: included in rent (£555/mth for a 2bed flat with decent size rooms, part furnished)
Electricity: £26/mth (as explained above, I'm paying the same amount all year to buffer the higher usage during winter)
Gas: n/a
Broadband/line rental/landline with various calling plans: £30/mth
Council tax: £80ish/mth (comes out through direct debit, so not entirely sure of the exact total)
Contents insurance with landlord's possessions insurance: £14/mth (but that depends on the value of your stuff and the excess your prepared to pay in case of a claim)
TV licence: £140/yr iirc
That's for me living on my own atm. Once my other half moves in with me I'm expecting insurance to double, council tax might go up by 1/4 (depending on whether or not Paul finds a job), everything else is fixed prices, so will stay the same.
Soooo, totally exposed myself to the world and will probably shortly be ridiculed for the crap deals I've ended up paying... Take it easy on me!
