Hi guys,

My girlfriend and I are planning on moving in together when I start on a BBSRC funded PhD in October. She also has a place masters course with a small bursary to live on.

I was just wondering how much people end up paying on average per month for bills other than the rent. I'm talking water, gas, electric etc. I'm especially after responses from people just sharing a flat with a partner although any responses would be great!!

Thanks in advance

Jon

Hi - I live with my working partner and we share a small one bedroom flat. We pay £25 a month for electricity, £20 a month for water and our gas bill for 3 months was £145 (very expensive but it's a very cold flat!) The gas bill in the Summer was only £35 for 3 months...so gas probably works out about £30 a month. Hope this helps x

Thats brilliant, thank you!

I know its going to vary from city to city but it's good just to get some idea.
