The cost of monthly bills in Reading can vary depending on factors like the size of the house, number of housemates, and the utilities included. However, here’s a rough breakdown of common monthly bills you might encounter while living in a shared house:
Rent: Depending on the area and size of the room, rent can range from £400 to £800 per person.
Utilities (Gas, Electricity, Water): This might be around £30-£50 per person, depending on usage.
Internet: Expect to pay around £10-£15 per person for a decent broadband connection.
Council Tax: If you’re a student, you may be exempt, but for non-students, this could be anywhere from £40-£100 per person, depending on the band of the property.
TV License: This is typically around £13 a month if anyone in the house watches live TV or uses BBC iPlayer.
In total, if you add all of these up, you might be looking at around £500 to £1,000 per person per month, combining rent and bills. It’s always a good idea to discuss with your housemates and check for any additional costs specific to your situation!
