Ivinghoe, Buckinghamshire: Living Costs

Living costs in Ivinghoe run to around £750 a month — that's higher than the UK average of £640. Transport and groceries are the culprits, both well above what you'd pay nationally. Transport costs £180 a month here versus £103 across the UK. The rural location and sparse public transport mean most people need a car. Groceries come in at £280 a month compared to the national average of £224. The good news is utilities and council tax sit slightly below average, which helps balance things out. If you're a landlord, those higher running costs are worth building into your rental prices. Tenants will notice the transport costs, so properties with good road access or near Tring station tend to let faster.
