Don't think this is quite true - you pay effectively a wear and tear tarrif and a charge in lieu of council tax. Before I left ( last year ) I paid £120 per month for a 4 bed detached house in Hampshire outside the wire. I'd love to find a similar property on the civ market. The council tax equivalent was £150 per month.
Must have been a run down grade 4 house for that price, most are grade 1 or 2 for which you will pay £320-£450/month for a 3 bed. (check out
RAF Community - Food & Accommodation Charges then click on accomodation charges for 2014/2015) and for a grade 1, 4 bed expect to pay £600/month (and they are all unfurnished costs)
Yes this is still cheap compared to the UK average but then the normal civilian doesn't have to move every 2-3 years.
