Depending on what type of flat he may get his windows cleaned (the apartment I lived in got cleaned once a month).

And a car is not linked to bills for the home, and I assume he knows these anyway.

No, but it still extra costs i need to pay on top of the bills aswell. Which I did momentarily forget about

Fair enough. N00b.

Don't forget money for socialising, spending on hobbies etc.

There will probably be a small maintenance bill if your moving into a flat.

And dont forget your car insurance could go up (or down) depending on where you move and what facilities there are for parking.

PK!

I earn just over £1100 a month, I have this list...

Rent
Tv License
Council Tax
Water
Gas
Electric
Internet
Phone
Food
Home Insurance
Mobile
Petrol

Not sure how much Home Insurance/C Tax is?

The flat is unfurnished too, realistically it seems I cant do it? I also have a holiday to pay for ~£400, car insurance next month

Think I might have to wait a bit longer

Bah

mcalladine · 12 Aug 2009 at 10:39

i have a 3bed house just me the misses and the dog and we use £20 electric and £20 gas with EON.

Council tax varies depending where you live but expect it to be at least £1000/year, the payments are generally split over 10 months.

Sometimes the landlord includes water in the rent so you may not have to pay it, if the flat has a water meter though it's unlikely. A lot of modern flats are all electric which can save you a chunk of money as gas is more expensive.
