Hi
Sorry if this is is a question that is asked alot, but I am due to move into my first property next week and was reading about water rates.
Do anyone know how I find out the rateable value of my flat as I cannot seem to find anything specific online?
Is there any value in getting a meter as I am living alone?
Thanks for your help.
Regards
A stressed First Time Buyer

Rateable value is in relation to commercial premises??
You can check your council tax here:

Water rates, short of it being a mansion will probably be somewhere in the region of £25-50 a month, although you can get a water meter installed - my water in a 3 bed semi is about £30-35 a month (im in the NW).I am a Mortgage AdviserYou should note that this site doesn't check my status as a mortgage adviser, so you need to take my word for it.

As a single person, you would be better off with a meter. I live on my own and pay around £130 a year for water and sewerage charges.Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide.0

The old Rateable Values on which water rates are based were in the public domain, but are no longer easily accessible. The water authority is now probably the best bet, as they will be the only ones who have used them during the past 20+ years.If you are querying your Council Tax band would you please state whether you are in England, Scotland or Wales0
