1st Time Check List...

I'll be moving into my first house with girlfriend next year. I'm just trying to work out a few things.

I need a list of all the bills I can expect to pay, so fas I've came up with...

Mortgage
Coucil Tax
Life Insurance
Critical Illness insurance
Mortgage Payment Protection

Electricity & Gas
Telephone
TV Licence
Broadband

Can you think of any others, so I can go and get some quotes for a rough estimate of my monthly bills.

Cheers !

  • Water & Sewage come with my Council Tax. And the building insurance comes with the property we're buying.

    where do you live where water is included in Council tax?

    Do check the buildings insurance if you think its included in the SC. I thought it was too- it is- for the wider building not for my flat. So If the worst happened here - and there was a fire or flood - i wouldnt have been covered.,If there was a fire i nthe lift- residents donthave to chip in for it.
    :beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
    Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
    This Ive come to know...
    So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:
