Quick Budget Question
Hey everyone!
I'm thinking about moving into a 2 bed flat, and I'm working out my budget to make sure I can afford everything. It's powered entirely by electricity, has an immersion heater, electric cooker and hob and storage heaters.
It's a top floor flat, so I'm hoping that the people underneath will keep me warm!
Just wondering if people in a similar situation could let me know how much I should budget a month for my electricity bill - I'll be very conservative with my usage - I promise!
Thanks everyone!

Afraid there is no answer - Every dwelling will have a different pattern of energy use, and that will change depending on the lifestyle of the people living in it
If this flat is empty and up for rental, ask the Agents who the current supplier is, then ask that supplier how many Kwh the previous tenant used in year and use these figures on a Switch site to work out the Annual cost.
As a pure guess, a 2 bed flat with say (4 ?) storage radiators, the annual bill will be around £1300 and that's assuming you never use the Daytime Hot Water top-up switch0
