List of household bills for those thinking of moving out
Thought I'd create this so if you were thinking of moving out, you'd have an idea of what kind of bills to expect.
Feel free to add anything to this list.
Mortgage - probably your biggest monthly payment.
Electricity bill
Telephone line rental
Internet subscription
Insurances - (Income protection, house insurance (building and contents), life insurance, mortgage protection)
Travel costs (i.e tube passes)
Water rates (possibly split between water and drainage)
TV Licence
Mobile phone bill
Council Tax
You may have to pay ground rent
You may have a gym membership
Keep adding!

And rent, if you are renting rather than buying.
Congestion charge (if your in London)
Keep a contingency fund for emergencies - eg, when my fridge and washing maching broke in the same week, I needed that cash!
Would petrol come under this if someone had their on transport and used that instead of public transport?
:rolleyes:
It totally depends who you go with, how much you use, how big the place is etc.
cable/satelitte
car insurance
road fund licence
mot
pension (you should start paying into a pension when you are 21)
nights out???? we pay for cinema passes monthly as it's the cheapest night out & we can go when we like...
Do you only pay those in England?
It's the bill you pay for your water. In Scotland it's in the council bill. In England you pay directly to your water supplier.
You could also be paying out for decorations and soft furnishings.
Aye, thought as much. Water is added onto council tax up here.
I should have figured that out for myself.
Yay!
