How much are the utility bills?

You can get an idea of the utility bill costs, and compare them with other properties, by checking the energy performance certificate for the property at the link above. However, your exact costs are likely to vary depending on many things, such as how high you have your heating turned up, whether you work from home or are out all day, how many people are living in the property, etc.

How much is the council tax?

How much is the holding deposit?

The holding deposit will be equal to one week's rent and reserves the property for you upon acceptance of your offer. This will be refunded back to you against the first month's rent. You can work out the amount of the holding deposit required by multiplying the monthly rent by 0.23.

How much is the security deposit?

The security deposit will be equal to five weeks' rent and will be held in a government-approved scheme for the duration of the tenancy. You can work out the amount of the security deposit required by multiplying the monthly rent by 1.1507.

Are smokers/pets allowed?

Sorry, smokers and pets (generally cats and dogs) are not allowed in this property, although other small, caged pets may be considered. Just so you know, being a smoker or pet owner is not a protected characteristic, so despite what you might have read in the press, the landlord can still choose not to rent to smokers or pet owners if they so wish.
