Default Costs of living in a house...

could someone break down the costs of living in a house, bearing in mind that i live in a town in lincs, not the center of london

Things like water, electricity, tv licence, sky etc etc, as a tenant.


I have no idea what things cost!


either in weekly or monthly...

Impossible to do really as everyone got different stuff, and bills are different where you live!

Dont forget Council taxs thats a big bill!

house insurance differs (if the land lord isnt paying it), council tax is based on price of house when council tax banding came into effect, gas and leccy and water depends on usage, telephone..

so somewhere between 25p and £600 a month LOL
