How much are the average monthly utility bills (excluding rent) for a 2 bedroom flat, with 2 occupants?
I’m single and these are currently my bills = average (remember this is mine and can be different to yours): Mortgage: £255 (currently) Water – £33.50 (not on a meter) Council Tax – £79 (I get 25% discount living alone) Gas – £17 Electric – £26 Phone and Broadband – £25 TV Licence – £12 Food – £100 Insurance (building and contents) – £15 I’m on a prepayment meter for gas and electric and the above is the average monthly based over 12 months.
Here are mine and my partner’s. We live in a 2 bed flat. We are frugal though, use heavy curtains, do not leave lights on etc (also, if you have never had bills before, you may find that the companies charge extra for the *average* use for the first 12 months, so they can see and cover what your using. After 12 months of giving in metre readings, your bills should come down a little) Gas £20 a month in winter £12 in summer Water £21 a month on a metre Elec £20 – £30 a month pay as go metre TV Licence £12 a month Total: £83 a month Council tax is around £120 a month.
