All canal boats require a mooring which can be very expensive, even if you can get one which is a designated houseboat mooring which are few and far between. Electricity, gas and possibly rates for water and sewerage connections plus a British Waterways license can make the running costs quite high and then there is depreciation of the boat and the cost of a Boat safety Certificate every three years and do not forget that the hull will require painting every 5 years which means lifting out or dry docking, both expensive.
