Afternoon all
Is there a guide set up anywhere online (or on here) to give a guide to a FTB, and the rough price guide with regards to monthly bills each month - Gas, electric, water rates etc.
Obviously the amounts will differ due to location/house type etc, just looking for a rought guide as putting an in depth budget together at the moment..
cheers

EDIT
This is based (loosely) on a 2 bedroom semi detached in the S12/S20 (Sheffield outskirts) area.

What type of property and roughly what size i.e. large, small? How many occupants?
For example in one area I lived in water rates for a 3 bed house was approx £210 per year I moved 7 miles away to a large 2 bed flat and the water rate with the same water company worked out as £325 a year. Council tax was the same for both properties approx £1200 per year.
Edited to say: a water meter would have made the 2 bed flat have the same water bill as the 3 bed house due to the type and number of occupants. I asked the neighbours on water meters their bill amounts.I'm not cynical I'm realistic

council tax bandings are available online for particular postcodes, and if you enter the general details into Uswitch, that'll give you an average power costIT Field Service Engineer, 20 years with screwdriver and hammer
