Average costs of
accommodation
Due to its rural location, the cost of renting or buying a home
in Worcestershire is relatively expensive when compared to some
regions in the UK. Therefore it is important to consider what you
can afford to pay for accommodation as well as other living costs,
which include gas, electricity, water, council tax, telephone
bills, insurances, food and transport.
The figures below should act as a guide to the costs of housing
