Which band is this home? We don’t know the exact band. The advert should show it, or ask the agent. You can also look it up for free on GOV.UK. Flats are usually in bands A to D.
A month is the year spread over 12 months. Councils usually take 10 payments (April to January), but you can ask for 12. Source: GOV.UK (MHCLG).
Pay less
- You’re the only adult living there: 25% off.
- Everyone is a full-time student: no council tax. Send the council the student certificate from your university or college.
- You live with students: they aren’t counted, so if you’re the only other adult, you get 25% off.
- Low income or on benefits: Council Tax Reduction can cut the bill, in some councils to nothing.
- A disabled person needs extra space for their needs, like a room or room for a wheelchair: the bill can go down by one band.
- Some people aren’t counted, like under-18s, apprentices, student nurses and live-in carers.
- Each tenant rents a room in a shared house: the landlord usually pays.
Register when you move in
- Tell Hammersmith and Fulham council on its website within a few days of moving in: your moving-in date, the landlord’s or agent’s details and every adult who lives there.
- Apply for any discount at the same time, on the same website.
- When you move out, tell them the date, so you only pay until then.

Energy bills
About £195 a month
Between £143 and £271 a month, depending on how you use it:

|---|
| Typical | £195 a monthWhat a busy rented flat like this uses: the heating on most evenings, daily showers, two or more people. |

Gas and electricity: the heating is a gas boiler (the energy certificate says “Boiler and radiators, mains gas”). With a monthly Direct Debit you pay the same amount all year, in summer too, because it covers the whole year’s use.
An estimate, not a quote, from what 3-bedroom or bigger flats with gas in London really used in 2024 (government meter data) and the bills tenants tell us they pay. Rented flats are often shared and used more than the average home, so typical is what the busier quarter of these flats use and careful is what the average home uses. Adjusted for this flat’s energy rating (D) and priced at Ofgem’s price cap for 1 October to 31 December 2026: electricity 26.32p per kWh plus 54.83p a day, gas 7.97p per kWh plus 29.68p a day. Your bill also depends on the supplier and tariff and how many people live there. Water and broadband aren’t included.
Who supplies the energy and the internet?
We can’t see which energy supplier or internet provider a home uses: that isn’t public. On moving-in day, take photos of the meter readings. Find the gas supplier on Find My Supplier, and for electricity call 105 (free). You’re on that supplier’s standard tariff until you switch, and you can switch any time.
For the internet, check which broadband networks and speeds reach this address on Ofcom’s checker, then pick any provider that uses them.
