3 Introduction If you already have a place of your own you will know just how much it costs to run a home, on top of the rent and council tax. If this is going to be your first home, you may be surprised at all the costs connected with running a home. This guide aims to give an idea of the costs that you will have to budget for. You need to make sure that you can afford these costs before you accept any offer of a home. The links below provide further information on: What is a tenancy agreement Tenancy agreements Tenancy Deposit Schemes Deposits, rent and changing a tenancy agreement - private renting : Directgov - Home and community Notice to quit Notice to Quit - Residential Tenancies - LandlordZONE Rent Paying your rent is a priority. The charges below are some average rent figures for different property types in Walsall. Average weekly rent Studio flat One bedroom Two bedroom Three bedroom Four bedroom Five or more bedrooms If you are on a low income you may be entitled to Housing Benefits. A rough guide to what Housing Benefit you may be entitled to depending on your family circumstances and the rent of the property is also available on request from Walsall Council s Housing Benefit Department. If you are single and under the age of 25, you will only qualify for the single room rent if you are LHA dependent. This will increase to 35 years of age in If you are 16/17 you cannot legally hold a tenancy and will need a guarantor. 3
4 Council Tax Council Tax is payable in addition to rent for general services provided by the Borough Council or which the Council has to contribute to i.e. Police and the Fire Service. Council Tax Band A Band B 10 monthly payments Weekly Yearly To find out which band a particular property is in, contact Walsall Council s Local Taxation Department on or If you live in the property on your own you will be entitled to 25% discount off your bill. Depending on your circumstances you may be entitled to Council Tax Benefit. Complete a Housing and Council Tax Benefit form to apply. Water Rates Water Rates are calculated based on the Rateable Value of the property. On average water rate charges could be approximately 270 per year for a 3 bed house a monthly payment of The property may have been fitted with a water meter. If this is the case, you will be charged for the amount of water you use instead of paying a fixed amount. If a water meter has been fitted you cannot have it taken out. If there isn t one fitted and you think that having one could save you money, contact your supplier. A single person may benefit from having a water meter but a family with children would be unlikely to. This link provides further information on water rates and tips on how you can save money on your water bill Water rates and average household water bills. 4
5 Gas and Electric You will need to heat and light your home, cook and operate electrical appliances. Paying by Direct Debit and having the same supplier for your gas and electricity (dual fuel) generally saves you money on your bills. The following are average weekly figures for gas, electricity and dual fuel and will vary according to which Utility Company you choose and how much fuel you use. You should regularly (approximately every six months) compare energy prices to get the best price. You can do this via price comparison websites such as: Tel: Tel: Tel: Gas costs approx per annum Standard credit 1 or 2 bedroom flat - single person / couple Bed Flat / House - single person / couple with children / 4 Bed House - single person / couple with children Electricity costs approx per annum Standard credit 1 or 2 bedroom flat - single person / couple Bed Flat / House - single person / couple with children / 4 Bed House - single person / couple with children Dual fuel costs approx per annum Standard credit 1 or 2 bedroom flat - single person / couple Bed Flat / House - single person / couple with children / 4 Bed House - single person / couple with children 1, Your landlord should provide you with Gas and Electric certificates. For energy and grant advice, please call Act on Energy on
6 Energy Efficiency If you decide to purchase new appliances for your home it is worth looking at the energy label on the appliances. These labels rate the energy efficiency of appliances from A-G, A being the most energy efficient. The more energy efficient an appliance is, the cheaper it should be to run. For further information and advice on saving energy, visit the Energy Saving Trust website Energy Saving Trust - Energy Efficiency & Energy Conservation to combat Climate Change. TV Licence If you have a TV in your home you must buy a TV licence. If you don t you could be hit with a large fine. The figures below show approximately how much a colour TV licence costs. Weekly Monthly Yearly If you re over 75 you get a free TV licence. When you move home your TV licence does not automatically move with you, you need to tell TV Licensing your new address. You can do this by filling in a short form online at or by calling Cable / Satellite TV Many people are now choosing to subscribe to cable or satellite TV. The average cost of a package is between 16 and 45 per month. Cable and Satellite companies charge varying amounts, check with individual suppliers for details. Please be aware that some contracts are difficult to get out of and you may be tied in once you have signed up. Please read the small print on any contracts. Freeview boxes are available to buy for approximately (one off fee). They have many of the same channels as cable & satellite packages without the monthly fees. 6
7 Landline / Mobile Phone BT line rental is approximately per quarter or per month plus the cost of your calls. You may also benefit from getting broadband for using the internet, if you have a landline. Other suppliers line rental and call costs may vary, check with the individual supplier for details. If you have a mobile phone, don t forget to budget for contract, call charges or top-up costs. Please be aware that some contracts are difficult to get out of and you may be tied in once you have signed up. Please read the small print on any contracts. The cost of running a home Food and Other Household Expenses For food and other household expenses you should allow on average: per week, per adult per week, per child If any member of your household has medical conditions or needs a special diet, you might need to allow more. School Meals If your children have school meals you will need to budget for this. Average school meals for a primary school child cost approx 1.80 per day or 9.00 per week. For a secondary school child it can be 3.00 per day or per week. Free school meals are available to children whose parents receive Income Support, Income-Based JSA, or Child Tax Credit with an annual income less than 15,575, or support from the National Asylum Support Service or Guaranteed Element of State Pension Credit. For further details on school meals contact Walsall Council on Clothing Allow per month per child (particularly for young children). Allow per month per adult. 7
8 Travel Car Remember: If you own a car you need to allow for the amount you spend on petrol, tax and insurance, maintenance, MOT and service. Public Transport If you regularly use public transport you may find that a Travel Card will help to keep costs down. For more details Contact National Express West Midlands on or visit Pets If you want to have a pet in the house, you will need to check with the landlord if this is allowed. If you have a pet in the house and do not check if this is allowed, you could be in breach of your tenancy. If you do have a pet, you will need to budget for food and vets bills. First Home If this is the first time you have thought about setting up your own home there are extra costs you will need to think about in addition to the usual costs described above. You will need to think about the cost of furnishing your home and ensuring that you have all the essential household items that you need. Examples of these might include: - bed, settee, table, cooker, fridge, washing machine, carpet etc. Freecycle is a website where items can be exchanged between members free of charge. This is the link to the website United Kingdom (UK) Freecycle Groups' Homepage Having your own home for the first time is a very exciting time, but it can also be an expensive time and you need to consider carefully if you are able to afford it. Personal Budget This simple personal budget sheet will let you to see how much money you have coming in every month and an average of how much you would have to pay out to run your home. When filling in your personal budget make sure that all your incomings and outgoings are changed into either weekly or monthly amounts. 8
9 Don t mix weekly and monthly amounts. Incomings Weekly Monthly Wages JSA Income Support Incapacity Benefit Child Benefit Child Tax Credit Working Tax Credit Pension Pension Credit Maintenance Other Total (A) Outgoings Weekly Monthly Rent (after Housing Benefit) Council Tax (after Council Tax Benefit) Water Gas Electricity Home Contents Insurance TV Licence Cable / Satellite TV Food and other Household Expenses Clothing Landline / Mobile Phone Car Insurance and Tax Petrol / Diesel Public Transport Child Care Costs School Meals Laundry Costs Credit Card Loan Repayments Store Cards Birthdays, Christmas, holidays, going out Other Total (B) Disposable Income = Total (A) -Total (B) 9
10 If this figure is positive you can probably afford the cost of running a home based on your current circumstances. If this figure is negative, you will be paying out more than you get in each week meaning you are at risk of debt. If this would apply to you and you still want to have your own home, then we strongly recommend that you have another look at your income and expenditure and reconsider whether you are in a position to set up home at the moment. Financial Advice If you need advice on debt or money management or you think you may be entitled to additional welfare benefits there are a number of agencies that can offer help. Citizens Advice Bureau - Tel: National Debt line - Tel: Consumer Credit Council - Tel: Credit Unions A Credit Union is a not for profit organisation that provides a variety of low cost savings accounts, low cost insurance and low cost loans for people living and working within the borough of Walsall. Housing Options Service All councils have a Housing Options Service and they will advise you of all the accommodation offers available in your area.
