A horrible amount to pay on my own Roll on my next mortgage review in June 2010 - I can get a normal high st mortgage then as my credit file is now clean!! Although saying that, i'm on 5.44% now so I can't see it getting much better!

This is per year so it is £418 pcm. It is not lived in by us, but by our son and a couple of lodgers, hence the high insurances cost and charge for gas certificate. The rents pay the bills. The property is a three bedroom Victorian mid-terrace on the outskirts of the city centre in the Midlands.

Thats a staggering £685 just for basic living expenses!
Then food/petrol/car bills etc. on top of that , plus any debts - it's no wonder so many are struggling.
This is for 3 adults - me, hubby and 18 year old daughter.

Deep_In_Debt

Where I live for a rat infested studio apartment it's £700 pm - I looked into it!
I only have a small mortgage £200 pm so it's cheaper for me to stay in my house as I am on my own. My council tax is £115 pm with single person's discount and that is over 12 months for a 2 (or 1 and a half) bedroomed mid terrace!

B&C insurance all linked into my monthly mortgage repayments.

I only have electric which is £30pm and that is the cheapest I can find.
