I think you mean "...adding an extra £145 to average annual bills."
Even the Daily Mail wouldn't report a seven-grand-a-year average increase.

I think your headline should read "an extra £2.79 to weekly bills".

On Planet Mail, this probably WILL push up prices:
Logic as follows: The person selling the house knows that his future expenditure is going to be higher, so he then sells his house for a higher amount to cover that extra future expense.
Aah ... the joys of 'one-sided economics'.

Gas & Elec will come down soon.
The BT increase is huge though.
