I'm not sure of exact cost but I think it averages out at around £40/week over the year, no other charges on top of that. Aside of course from the cost of building everything. but if you've got the time and motivation to look around, you pick up a lot of materials, bathroom and kitchen stuff for cheap if not free! I think we've paid an extra £1500 or so, but that's been split five ways.
So yeah, it can be pretty cheap and lots of fun doing, but it does require a lot of time and effort. In saying that, you can get a space that has been somewhat/fully built for you, but you will end up spending more rent.
