Good evening, allhomes Since most of the visitors who pass through here remain in Portugal, I will here briefly address one of the most common questions I get: How much do you spend on average to live in the UK? The figures presented are those of my own experience, so that other people will have relatively different spending our. Electricity: 30 / month (. Average of our last year Most spends more) Gas: 30 / month (. Average of our last year Most spends more) Water: 22 / month (in our case is a . fixed amount regardless of the water consumed will walk on average) allhomes Council Tax: 100 / month for 10 months a year. (This is the municipal tax paid to the city council by the police expenditure, fire, garbage collection etc. etc. This value varies from region to region and depending on the value of the house. 100 / month is even the least that someone will pay. who live alone in a house has a 25% discount right in our council) Phone + Internet:. We ended up paying on average allhomes 20- 22 month. (In our case has the bonus of unlimited calls to Portugal) TV Licence: 145 / year (single rate, cheaper just to those who buy TV license TV in black and white This is no cable television service, is only in order to have TV! Even if you only have a computer or laptop must pay this amount as it can access television allhomes content over the Internet. The advantage is that television captures open channel a bunch of channels allhomes without any subscription channel package .) Mobile: 10 - 15 / month ( 10 I have to 100min, 100sms, unlimited net and 60 minutes for Portugal, 15 in the case of Ana that has more minutes and sms fruit of much livelier social life: p. In this field, most people spend much). Car: (Who lives and works in a big city usually chooses not have car) 1) Inspection: 35- 50. Made annually. 2) movement of Seal. 30 / year. (. That in my case and Ana because we have cars with low CO2 emissions will be the average cost 95 and 190) 3) Car Insurance: This is what is the real headache! In my case it was about 800, 500 in the Ana. Anyone just come here, especially if you are under 25 years should receive 1500- 2000 per year. House rental: I would say above Birmingham should expect to pay between 450- 550 / month for a house with two bedrooms or one bedroom only if it is a foo apartment. allhomes Birmingham Below is another story, but ask who lives there. This post is not intended to act as a deterrent or promoter for coming to the UK, only has an informative purpose.
A very useful post. I myself have seen me in the situation to explain / give an idea of the costs that have in the UK to several friends walking to consider changing country. I must say that in Nottingham the thing is more or less it for her. Although I know that auto insurance is more expensive here than normal in the rest of the country .... because Nottingham had long enough crime. From experience we know that living in Bath is expensive (say it is the second city with highest allhomes rentals allhomes in the UK), and Cambridge is also expensive. Rent a studio is not for less than ~ 500 GBP / month, eg, in Bath. Unfortunately, this price increase also affects the income of individual rooms. Reply Delete
I am really fan of this blog and it is optimal to have a perception of the cost of living in the UK. Especially when I intend to go to the UK to work (although I know it's hard) as pharmacist. Spectacular this blog: D Reply Delete
A very useful post !!! However makes sense to differentiate between living and living in London UK, since London costs increase quite: * Safe at least 1500 lbs. > How did the 800 took English letter ?? * Water: I paid 150 for 6 months! * House ... the great pain of head ... a T1 in zone 2 is not for less than 1200 without any expenses included Reply Delete
No doubt that the values are in accordance with the area of the country where you live. Here rent a 2 bedroom house walking by 750 and a 3 easily allhomes round the 1000 (compensates allhomes pay a mortgage). Regarding the car, we paid 10 postage, but we have come to pay more than 200 (obviously not in this car) and insurance paid 260 pounds. Yes, yes, it pays to be "quota" ... :) Reply Delete
Karoglan: I do not want you unhappy, I will talk about football in the next post. MissLilly: Water is an equivalent price at any point in the UK. Houses all know are more expensive in the South, particularly in London. The insurance does not vary depending allhomes on the type of driving license. The main factors are the age of the insured driver, allhomes the nr of years without accidents (the claim bonus) and the location. The n
