How much are the yearly outgoings?
Much less than in the UK generally: The main expenses are the rubbish (“basura”), electricity, water and IBI. Thus the utility bills for a 100,000 euro house with a family of four can expect to pay: • rubbish -65 euros a year • electric – 30 euros a month • water – 15 euros a month • IBI (council tax) – 1% of the value of the property • phone – depending on your provider We suggest “Voip” or some other company than Telefonica for your telephone needs. British Telephone (BT) has a vast share in Telephonica and the company runs along similar lines to those that BT did in the late 70´s, which could be considered extortionate.
