What is the average electric bill for a two bed flat in North Essex?

My partner and I are about to move and I want to draft up the monthly cost. It is as fairly new build and we will be the first residents to have lived in the flat. Water rate is fixed at £25 per month, and there is no gas as heating, hot water, oven, hob etc are all heated by electricity. My partner works 7am-5pm weekdays and I work varying hours, either 8 hours a morning or between 6-10 hours an evening. Does anyone have a similar set up who could help?

    Request a copy of the Energy Performance Certificate for the property you are thinking about buying or renting (you didn't make it clear which) from the vendor.

    On the first page of the EPC is a list of 'expected' costs for lighting, heating, and hot water. However, average usage is a figure which lies in the middle of a very very wide range, and may not be accurate to your actual usage, however it is at least more useful than a guess.

    Why don't you contact the electric company and tell you are interested in renting and give them the address. They may be able to give you past expenses for electricity.
