Honiton St Michael's, East Devon: Living Costs
Cost of Living
Living costs in Honiton St Michael's are a bit higher than the UK average, mainly because of council tax and transport. You're looking at roughly £50 extra a month compared to what most households pay elsewhere.
Your monthly outgoings here come to around £680, versus £640 across the UK. Council tax is £170 (the national average is £147), and transport costs £120 instead of £103. Groceries and utilities track pretty much in line with the rest of the country.
If you're a landlord, these higher running costs matter for your rental pricing. Tenants will notice the difference, so you'll need to factor that into what you charge to keep your yields on track. Transport costs are particularly high here, which suggests most people need a car — that's worth keeping in mind when you're thinking about who might rent from you.
