Hi,

I hope you all can help as from the post's I have read you all seem very knowledgeable.

I am purchasing a 1 bedroom shared ownership flat and am due to complete in July.

I am just attempting to work out a rough Budget but having never paid utilities myself I haven't really a clue how much I'm looking at and the sites from different providers are quite confusing!

Its a 1 bedroom flat (new build) I believe it is on a water meter, It's just going to be me living there. I'm not a heavy water user and have showers as appose to baths.

Can anyone give me a very rough idea of cost?

Thanks

Kay

Welcome Kay....Prices vary according to area...phone your local water authority. Would be in the yellow pages or post here your town. 60 cublic litres a year is normal for one person.
