You'll have to contact your local authority to find out the amount of council tax payable on properties in your 'band.' Every area charges different amounts.

You can just about buy a garage for that much down South!

[geordie_aaron]

lol thats not what its worth, there was confusion

 

£40k would get me a VERY VERY poor area house lol

 

one i WAS going to buy is £132k

Alright mate.

My flat is classed as band A and I pay just over £60 a month. Don't think there will be much difference between South Tyneside and Durham pricing bands.

For your gas and electric, do you just want the cheapest you can get, or do you want a company with good customer service too?

Let me know cos I work within the complaints area of the industry.

Nice1 cheers, as for as gas/lecy company, i want cheap as possible, not too bothered about customer service, but if sumits broke, i want it fixed Edited September 16, 2005 by geordie_aaron

Scottish Power or Atlantic are going to be the best bet for you mate.

EDF do work out slightly cheaper, but have a bad reputation within the industry.

powergen if you combine both gas and leccy can set it up all online too

 

the valuation for council tax was done years ago, thats why it shows as only £40k
