Gas prices ?

[Medic-one]

I'll be moving soon from my 2 bed appartment (with no gas central heating) to a 2/3 bed house with GCH.

Since i've never had to pay for GCH (as the appartment was my first/only place i've lived here in the UK) i was wondering what would be the average price i could expect to pay for that, so i can take that into consideration whilst looking for a place.

depends on lots

is it a new energy efficient place with a decent combi boiler? For example my 2 bed flat costs next to nothing to heat thanks to its construction. As its a combi boiler too the heating is done as efficiently as possible and water is only heated when drawn.

It should be considerably less than those crappy wall heaters

Not sure exactly buy gas should be cheaper than leccy.

get a key meter then if you are running short on ££ you wont have to go into debt

Am looking at a couple of places at the moment and haven't made and decisions yet, just noticed they all had GCH so wanted to know how much a month that would be so i can compare incoming/outgoing money before making a decision.

PAYG tariffs are usually more expensive. The cheapest tariff in my experience is a online billing, monthly direct debit payment

And what would one look at to pay montly then on avarage ?

[mcflurry]

I would guestimate £30 a month (based on my house being £60 and that is about the size of 2 flats)

Scottish Power are usually among the cheapest, and offer a £60-70 quidco rebate if you sign up with them through the website

Thanks for that.

Any other things/bills i should take into consideration besides the couple obvisous i pay now (council tax, electricity, insurance) ?

Water, sewage tax or something like that ?
