Default info needed on first home

Hiya basically lived with my exes for last few years and they were already settled into there houses etc but now back home at the mothers i desperatly want to move out
basically I live in Bristol, I hate it here and after spending a few days at a mates down in Paignton in Devon I have decided that is where I am going, I loved it there so where do i start

found a couple places up for rent (have to rent to start as have noway near enough for a mortgage deposit just yet) this is the one I am planning on viewing, hardly luxury but great for a first time batchelor pad http://www.findaproperty.com/display...=1&pid=1766727

what I need to know is inc council tax and bills etc how much roughly per month am i going to have to set aside for all bills etc like i said i used to just woo the birds til they asked me to move in then i would just bung them a few quid each week for there troubles lmao.

the real stinger is work is short on the ground in paignton and torquay area so would most likely internal transfer through work to our exeter office which is a 30 minute drive (about the same as i do now )

any info and advice greatfully recieved
tom

me and the misses tend to stick away equal to the mortgage - which will be close to your rent, I would say around 500 a month to cover bills.

This covers our council tax, insurances, heating and lighting, tv license, internet and phone and shopping etc.

I usually earn 1700 so that could be done. just want to make sure i am not digging myself a hole if i go ahead with this move, suppose i am a bit paranoid as at home i have family about if i am stuck but down there i have 1 mate at the moment (and some fit bird he knows who is up for a bit lmao)

thanks for the advice bud

you can find out council tax, water rates for your area dead easy.

Ask mates for electric/gas costs to estimate. contents insurance, tv license, internet (maybe phone line too), parking permit costs, FOOD!! etc

Dont forget initial outlay on furniture, curtains etc. Freecycle and furniture charity shops good for that.

oh and if you can get credit meters on gas/electric. Pay go is a LOT more expensive and inconvenient.

I've budgeted £1350 a month based on £600 rent/mortgage, £400 for food/cleaning/toiletries etc, £80 gas/electric, £50 water, Band D council tax (Obviously it will vary wherever you are but band D is sort of middle of the lot) and any other silly surprises ), home/contents insurance and whatever else there is needed and that also allows a couple of hundred left over to build up a bit of a fallback aswell.

Thats just for the house though - car insurnace and fuel are seperate to that so don't forget to add them on too.
