UK cost of living?

The UK is not a town. Prices vary, so you will have to give us a clue as to where in the UK you are likely to go.

As an example, Belfast 1 - 2 bed flats from £400 per month. Likely to be in a not so nice area or far out of the centre.

Cardiff - similar prices.

Edinburgh- 1 bed from £450 per month

London - Over £1000 per month in the centre for a studio flat, getting cheaper the further out you go.

Groceries, from around £50 per week.

Gas, Electric from around £100 per month

Water - depends on whether the property is metered (around £60 for 6 months) or has a standing charge - you would need to check the local council website.

Council Tax - around £150 per month, but each council sets its own rate for the property and if you live alone, there is a 25% discount.

TV licence, £142 per year

Then add onto that travel and other sundries.

Rents are high in London. One Bedroom furnished flat at least £1200 per month. Food depends on what you eat - average £50 per week for one person, but I eat mainly organic stuff. Electricity low cost in summer and depends whether you are using it for heat and cooking which are often gas in the U.K.
