How We Calculate These Costs

  • Council Tax uses national average bands (A through H). Single occupants get a 25% discount.
  • Energy estimates are based on EPC rating, with a 20% uplift for houses (compared to flats) and 15% per additional bedroom.
  • Water is estimated at £35 per person per month (UK average metered rate).
  • Broadband uses a £30/month UK average. TV Licence is £13.25/month if applicable.
  • Contents Insurance is estimated at £15/month for a standard renter policy.

These are estimates based on UK national averages. Actual costs vary by location, provider, and usage.
