Nic964 Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Ours are slighty different, so thought this may be worthwhile, as we have a simpler life, no aircon, but this is for a 3 bed house Water $200 at most every 2 months Elecricity $150 every 2 months Internet $70/month Gas same Foxtel - we have the medium spec package (not a sports fan) only $50 Mobile phone - same, if you use your old phone its only $40 No Gym, lots of lovely walks instead. Council rates around $1500 Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derbygirl42 Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 God the house insurance is scary. I don't pay much more than that for a year ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Beesley Posted February 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Some good feedback, am I correct in saying you don't pay council tax if you rent? Is the car rego that price for everyone no matter what car, is it compulsory every year? Like mot and tax in one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annjean Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 No council tax if your renting, yes to yearly car registration, price for rego can vary slightly if car is used for personal or business use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
