Council Tax- how much is yours

[OnlyFoolsnMothers]

I’ve read that council tax outside of London can be more expensive than inside, so I’m being nosy having just got my new bill.

I’ll start:
London, 3 bed terrace £1691.52 (or £169 over 10
Months)

Bloody extortionate imo!

£3924.97 South Wales coast.
Bloody hell I had no idea how expensive ours is.

Well this is a wake up!!! Guess I can’t afford to leave London!

Just gone up to £129 over 10 months in East Midlands/amber valley... does not include water or garden waste

Three bed Semi in North Wales, £160 a month for 10 months a year.

But Mortgage / Rent would be signicantly cheaper in some parts of the country ,it's not just council tax Its the cost of living as a whole you have to consider .

Oh sorry it went up so it'll now be £172 a month.

Milton Keynes. One bedroom flat - Band A. £126/month over 10 months.

Northumberland, three bed semi in Band A, £136 a month. DM is in Band D and hers is £176 a month.

230 a month, Belfast.
Scotland wins the prize for most expensive- my previous house was over 3k a year for a very average house.

Of course, I have a manageable mortgage though. It just struck me that my travel card and council tax means I spend near on £400 a month before paying for the roof over my head, heating or food!

3 bed semi in Yorkshire: 145 every month for 10 months.

W. Midlands 5 bed detached house - £187pm x 10 payments. Our friends in the same village pay the same for a 3 bed bungalow. We're both band D.

Water inclusive is a new one on me, Thames water on a metre we pay for what we use at c. £500 a yr.
I do think water and electricity should all cost the same per unit under treating customers fairly - very strange all the diff charges and tariffs etc!

They should look into getting is lowered- Martin Lewis did a whole show on it.

2 bed flat, central London, £1300pa

£1725.74 (£173 a month over 10 months). 3 bed detached, NE England. Most other 3 bed houses on my estate are a band higher so an extra £200

West Midlands. 4 bed semi. £149 per month.

Lancashire, Band B, small three bed terrace £1700.

Nearly four grand a year on council tax and they will still only take two black bags a fortnight

Midlands £3600 per yr

3875 a year. Herts.

They limit you to two bags???!!! What if you have nappies?

Cornwall smallish semi on estate 1400 odd

Band A Manchester, 115 per month over 10 months. Think it's going up to 120 per month. Some of these numbers are scary!
