How much do the Residenza cost ?
A. Much more than you expect from what they tell you the rent is. You will never complain about British Gas or your local Electricity Board again. The amount you pay (33. 4p/cu. m. ) for gas is about twice (+85%) what you will have been paying in the UK per cubic metre (17. 4p/cu. m. , including VAT in Cambridge) but you will use many more cubic metres because the Residenza apartments are apparently solid concrete and poorly insulated. The gas standing charge for a 2-bedroom appartment is also +45% of what you would pay for a 3-bed semi in the UK (including VAT).
