1 bedroom flat, Renting - what bills to expect?
Right...
Proper pissed off- live at home with the old dears and a million siblings and have really had enough- which is such a change from the chuffed feeling I had an hour ago after donnington.
Anyways....
Found 2 local flats 1 bedroom with garage and £450 a month- bit closer to work and resonable areas- ideal for a single bloke with 2 cars PMSL.
1 of em is furnished too.
Bills then...
Council tax
gas
electric
water
tv licence
Anything else, can someone put some rough prices to those too so I have some idea what to expect.
Cheers

Not quite... with a 95% mortgage its more around the £600 mark (at the moment) and then on top of that with a flat (which is what I would get near me) I have service charges and what not and leases to consider+ extortionate fee's and crap when I take out a mortgage- been looking at buying all year and had enough of it all.
I totally get your point however and if it wasn't resonably forced I wouldn't even consider renting as I save £350 a month at the mo which is going to be £500 after Christmas which all goes in the deposit pot.
