Hi there

I know this is a question with many answers but any help would be appreciated.

Can someone please list the monthly expenses they have including little things like tv licence, gym, household insurance etc (just estimates would help)

Our family consists of 2 adults and 1 toddler
Renting a 3 bedroom house in Wimbledon (flat possibly as well if spacious enough)

Thanks so much!

Hello evestyles!

Check the Numbeo website. They have records for many cities, including London, UK.

All the best!
Pedro.

Hi Evestyles...

Cost of living will vary

But standard expenses

Council Tax - I estimate 150 per month (it is based on size of property)
Electricity - 30-40
Gas - 50
Water - 30
Travel card zones 1-3 for monthly travel - estimate 130
TV License is about 12 a month
Insurance depends massively on the contents and the postcode - SW19 shouldnt be too bad
Price of 3 bed house in Wimbledon - I imagine you know this one already but I guess its quite expensive!!!!
