Average running costs of 3 bed house

You're welcome. I never used to keep such an eye on meter readings at all but since discovering this forum I've become quite the fanatic! We had to get a new heating system installed when we moved in as the previous owner had left a very expensive electric system. So lots of calculations involved!

Plan for the higher estimates here of £100-£120 for gas and elec

They are on the high side but every property is different. And every occupant needs different requirements. I don't think it will be above £120.
