This is why I have seen people deciding to live in Middle East rather than in UK A person got 75000 Pounds per year with 3200 pounds in hand in London And same person got 85000 Pounds Equivalent in Dubai with 7200 pounds per month in Hand... this saving 4000 per month extra in Dubai
Very nice video sir. Since I have been selected by a hospital to work in UK, this comparison video and explanation was very useful for me. Once again lot of thanks to you.
Dear sir extremely thank you for this video..Because i search many videos but i didn't found this types of easy explain video now i clear about uk...once again thank you sir....
I am thinking to shift there, they offered starting salary would be 1 lakh GBP (per annum) before thax. 1: Is it a good salary??? 2: if I have a family of 5 people including me what would be the cost for living in London per year?? 3: What would be the procedure for the home loan because I my family is of 5 members and it is costly to live in a rent. And what is the interest rate of it.? (YOUR THIS VIDEO IS AWESOME, IT HELPS ME TO UNDERSTAND LONDON BETTER)
Agree to every point of urs except the grocery price from supermarket vs branded one. No doubt supermarket ones r cheaper but the quality is also not upto the mark for eg rice, wheat flour or refined flour from Tesco are just useless. But if u pick it from Sainsbury's or waitrose it's very good but the difference of price with branded one would be marginal. so it also depends on which supermarket u r choosing
Kalpana, to an extent I agree. Even I don't buy food products from Lidl or Aldi as the quality is a bit low. But like the example I had shown , in Co-Op if you buy a pack of Pasta it is 50p, but the same in the leading brand is 1.20 £ which is more than twice. Same with the Pasta sauce. Those have no difference in quality. Same with Milk for e.g.
Hello sir, thanks for all the detailed information. Really helpful for those planning for settlement. Will appreciate if you can answer few queries: I have worked & lived in Hounslow Central (near civic center). earlier in 2008, however i returned back to India after 2 years, as it's really difficult to save money especially for a single person even if you earn 1800£ or less than 2k pm. The cost of living expenses takes more than 80% of the income. So if calculated precisely the saving in UK ends up more or less the same compared to what you earn or save in India (if you have a good job & earn say around 85 k or less than 1 lac pm in India). 2. For a normal working class (salaried) people there seems only a possiblity if a couple works full time (so as atleast 1 persons income is fully saved). Plus the hardships one has to undergo in UK or US (or anywhere out of India) is really tiring & exhausting. As you have to do your own household chores (cleaning, cooking, ironing, etc) as appointing a maid is not affordable for many & UK majorly doesn't have a maid system (as we generally have it in India). Also if you have kids (you have to appoint a Babysitter or a nanny to pick them from schools or activity centers. (Again it cost significant amount to appoint a good babysitter). Considering all the above expenses & physical hardships. Do you still advice people to think of migrating to UK? Want know your thoughts on the same.. Also to add, what's the job stability forecast especially after Brexit dilemma?? As most of the financial sectors are shifting to Europe & Singapore (considering Brexit). Expecting your deep & fair advice on the same. Many thanks. Cheers.
Hi Prabhat, If you are getting 1 lakh per month in India, and you are going to get around 2000 £ per month in UK, then I tend to agree with you that coming to the UK is not a good idea . Your quality of life will be better in India for sure Prabhat than UK with that salary comparison. Coming to UK is an investment in itself that will take years to get proper benefit. Especially with kids. The only argument is , when the initial years pass (when kids get older) - life becomes easier and easier in UK. You can switch jobs and get higher salary with the experience. In most Indian families, I had seen who have come to UK, the wife has no thoughts of working, but after coming here ,the opportunities open up, they start driving, find a job , progress in life and career to a different person and that helps financially as well. Doing a job in UK for a UK company offers lots of flexibility with flexible hours and flexible days as well which enables this. Personally I feel Brexit is not going to cause a major impact as it won't happen to the same extent it was originally planned . But then that is a big change if it happens. Hope this helps?
Anna, do you pay any insurance or any protection Plans for the plumbing or drainage problems to cover for the unexpected problems that could happen in plumbing in your home and the private drains within the property boundary are generally your responsibility? If not do you consider it or not, or does it require or not, as home owner?

Thanks Anand, this is a really really informative video. I would really love if you can provide many more such videos on these important topics in English version. Really appreciate it. Thanks.
Hello Anand !!!! Again I repeat I'm very impressinate about your knowledge !!! Now ask to your lovely wife to southee podhu you !!! Here in France salary increase only when you complete 3 years and after that evey year you have 1% and after 5 years after 3% etc... But I don't know if you see the politic condition today in France !!! But it's the same everywhere !!! But as you know we have to work hardly to give us and to our children a good future !!! Keep it up and see you soon for some others interesting trips !!!
Thank you so much Nadine. Yeah Salary increases are so low . Political conditions here in UK also not so great with the Brexit debacle . Hopefully everything gets better. :)
I stayed in hounslow central and never felt away from india.Its a asian melting point close to heathrow.So close to all mode of public transport. I Paid around 180 pounds s week for a studio flat all included.Its best area if u wanna feel relaxed and homely .
Roger, I worked in Hounslow Central for 7 years and we lived around that area for a few years as well. I like Hounslow. But the rents have increased significantly these days. When we were renting we got a 2 bed flat for 950 £ . The same flat is now 1200-1300 £ per month. 180 £ for studio - was it a flat or a room or self contained portion in a maisonette house?
@@AnandChennai Hi anand,I paid weekly close to 750 pounds a month that was few years back.It was a single studio with establishment downstairs just basically a big hallway with bed ,toilet and kitchen.It was close to high street .Yeah agree its couple of hundred pounds or more dearer now.
Is a 41k/year in Newbury uk is good salary for a person with family of 2 kids? If same person is Already earning 18 lakhs in Bangalore then is it worth to shift to UK?
my salary will be 30000£ (£2000/month) annually and coming to Winchester with my spouse, two kids 2 year and 6 year old. Can I manage expenses on my own for 5-6 months before we both start earning.
Hello Anand- can't thank you enough for this very informative video. I was initially feeling lost but you have managed to piece answers to all my queries together. Can you please let me know your thoughts about buying furniture and other house hold stuff? What would be the expenses if you are starting from scratch? Is it preferable to start with a furnished accomodation?
Hello Anand Amazing video. Lots of awakening insights. Thanks for sharing. Could you please share the tips / guidance for purchasing houses. Thanks, Karthik
Thank you very much sir for taking time out of your busy schedule & making such a detailed video including the shop visits & screenshots. much appreciated.
Thank you for the Valuable information Brother.. But I was wondering you did not mention about annual Insurance cost which might be needed ? Can let us know about that.. and also Cost of buying a house in London
Welldone with your briefings sir...i was little curious about how you can do laundary and cleaning of the place we live in there in economically friendly way?? Thank you
If you stay in a house, you will mostly have a washing machine. Else best to hire a place with washing machine as that is the cheapest way. Else there will be a Machine laundry place where you can wash once a week with coins generally 4-5 £ yourself. Watch this video for idea ua-cam.com/video/r7CYneGeEDc/v-deo.html
Hi Mr. Anand, I am from Chennai. I got a job offer with 60k GBP salary at bridgewater. Is that ok fr a family of 4. I have to pay IHS fees on my own. Pls give your suggestion.
What about clothes and saloon items. In London life is very tuff and coustly as compared to other country. If purchased car it has very higher costs of insurance and e.t.c
Hello Anand, I just now checked this video of yours. As I work in France, here we have been granted 2.5 days per month of day off if needed or we could accumulate all these days and plan a vacation. Can I know about the paid day offs for a month?
Hi Roshya, it is similar in Uk as well. Depends on the company too. But I get pretty much the same as you. 26 days accrued as 2 days and a bit every month and can accumulate it. That is what most people do. They accumulate and take one or 2 vacations in the year for 2-3 weeks at a time.
I have been selected for supervisor at lotion shop in Uk and will be paid 2500 pound monthly + incentive, Should I go to UK? Please kindly address my concerns How much money can I save in UK ?
Thank you for your information about many stuffs sir. kindly keep posting more and more videos about the life in UK so that people especially students like me who are willing to spend their life abroad will get enough knowledge. By the way, I'm studying mbbs in philippines looking to work abroad. Thank you Anand sir.
Anand you have delivered it as informative as one could think of. I really appreciate your efforts to make this happen. Thanks a lot. I'm planning to move to Glasgow, is it same case like London interms of expenses?
Hi brother, I am a Civil engineer and working in SYSTRA in the Indian Railway Project as a Railway Track Inspector.... I m interested to work in UK Railway company.... Please guide me brother.... How can I find a job in uk and how I will get salary in uk
Mr Anand, excellant description. Can you suggest the amount one should take while coming to UK to join the job, considering the salary will come in the next month only. I will be landing initially alone in UK, shall bring my family few months later once i stabilize a bit.
Krishnendu, I suggest bringing around 3000 £ roughly if you are coming alone. That should be more than enough for a month for a person coming alone and staying alone except for the house deposit if you find a house for rent. You can transfer money at that time. I brought only 500 £ when I came. But I had the ability to withdraw up to 250 £ per day using my Indian Debit Card in UK (ICICI) from any ATM. For my House Deposit, I had withdrawn money from the bank for 3-4 days and deposited into UK bank account as an easier option to transfer the money that time as I didn't have a proper money transfer process setup.
Hello Anand I had got onsite project from my company to work at client end in London. My take to home salary would be 3400 pounds including deductions. I have daughter she in 7th std.wife is bhms doctor working in mediclaim company in India. Would I be able to save if I come with family. The project is going to last for 2yrs minimum Wat shall I do??
Hi Anand. Very informative video. Thanks a lot :) What salaries can we expect for software engineers in London who have 6-7 years of experience? Is there a scope for Software Engineers in London at all? What are the chances of finding a Software engineer job in London?
Hard to say Naveen. Software engineer is too generic. You need a niche skillset. Like CRM, and need even more product skillset like Salesforce or Siebel for e.g. That's how the market is. There are people who have 10-15 years of experience and get 30 lakhs salaries in India and come to Uk and get only 2500 to 3000 £ per month. But some times if they have a good skillset they could be earning less than 10 lakhs in India and get 4000£+ per month in UK. it all depends on your skillset and demand at that time in the market.
I am planning to pursue masters in UK in Mechanical Engineering and I will have to borrow 22 students loan and I am having around 7 years of experience in India and in the Middle East. Will I be able to recoup the loan amount INR 22 lakhs in two years time because as a graduate I will be eligible for 2 years PSW. Is the risk worth taking?
Hello sir. Could you please let me know whether an expense/cost of living per month amounting to 1500 pounds is reasonable for a single professional living in London ( not much spendthrift person and simple lifestyle)
I have been selected to work for Musgrove park hospital, Tauton and Somerset. Do you think it’s safe and economical to be there, I am travelling alone, your valuable suggestion would help me a lot.
Tashi, it is away from London and so cost of london will be lesser. UK in general is a safe place . So don't worry about safety. It is an NHS hospital. Long of Indians and asians work in NHS hospitals and you can even find people to share Accomodation with .
Hello sir, I am software developer living in Gandhinagar, Gujarat, India. My current salary is 80k. I am living a good life but it's my dream to settle in abroad. Just need your suggestion that should I need to take a risk to settle in the UK? Can you please tell me what is the average salary of Software Developer in UK? Thank you 😊
With so much of cost and expenditure,still people like to go overseas for work .I feel now days in Chennai if you happened to be public sector employee,life will be very good in Chennai .the facility you mentioning in UK available cheaply and further you can afford house help.still people like to go aborad.expecting honest reply from you
Life is certainly more comfortable in certain aspects in Chennai and India. Like domestic help, child care, parents support esp if you are in a decent job. People go abroad still because there is still a gap . Sometimes people go to earn and come back with savings. Sometimes there is a trade off to facilities still not commonly available like accessible clean toilets everywhere, less stressful school workload, less social taboo and peer pressure like to put kids in expensive schools or get them expensive things.
Anand Chennai2London yes you are correct.. there are pros & cons everywhere. However, you can't have much control over your kids in UK (unless you are a lucky parent & have really obeying kids). High possibility of kids falling prey to drugs, & other bad habits, once they turn teenage.. Home help (maid), babysitter for kids, car maintenance, insurance, council tax, & trip to India & often sundry expenses takes more than 80-90% of the income. Physical hardships like daily household chores is really exhausting as compared to India (where you can easily relax at home after office hours)..
Very good point Elangovan! Chennai has a much better weather, much better housing stock, good schools, roads, infrastructure and on top of that, household help. I don’t understand why people want to move to UK. The only good thing about living in the UK is its proximity to Europe so that you can visit a large number of places..apart from that, it is better in India. And I didn’t even mention the food in India 😋
Anand:I have the question that I am senior citizen in canada so what's the states of living should we can get the uk same pension funds as we are getting in canada
Hello sir I have a doubt... regarding work in UK.. one of the owner from Uk company he is ready to offer me a job but the situation is he was unable to provide me a work visa..because his company was not listed in uk sponsorship terms..is there is any possibility to get the visas for this situation... some one have told me about UMBRELLA SYSTEM can yo explain me the possibilities about it
Dipson, if he is really interested and has a UK company, he can apply for a sponsorship license. That's a lot easier than going with a third party which will complicate things.
Hi sir as I mentioned in my comment earlier I have received job offer from a hospital which is in London city (royal free hospital London) and I am going to attend another interview in the coming weeks for another hospital also in UK (salisbury hospital UK). In your opinion which place is more economical to live with my family? Please give your opinion sir? And is salsbury a good place to live and work in the UK?
Rajiv, Salisbury is definitely cheaper to live compared to London City. Quality of life is better when you move away from London. Except for the fact that you may not find that many Indians around.
Hi Sir, Thanks for the video and it is very informative. I have a question, My company is going to process Tier 2 (ICT) visa. If ABC company is processing my Tier 2 ICT visa, after working for sometime in UK for ABC company, can I switch to another company? or Do I need to stick to ABC alone as they are going to process my visa? Also, can my spouse work in UK on dependent visa? Please clarify? Thanks!
Lavanya, I have explained this in detail in my visa video. Please watch the English version here - ua-cam.com/video/ZWVcUus0sr0/v-deo.html You can switch to tier 2 general as I had explained. But there is a 12 month cooling off period when you have to work in India. So your tier 2 general sponsor should be willing to allow you to work from outside UK for 12 months. Alternatively the best option is for your spouse to start working (he can work immediately in UK after coming here as a tier 2 dependent) and find a tier 2 general sponsor and you can then switch to dependent visa. That way you can avoid the 12 month cooling off period.
Dear Anand, Your videos are very informative . Good work . Need suggestions please . I am based in Paris (EU citizen ) . Around 15 years of IT experience. I have been offered a job in Huntingdon. IT Manager. When comes to Salary they offer 50£ annual. Is that good salary in Huntingdon ? I checked in Payscale and glassdoor. The salary range is almost same. Let me know your suggestions please , about cost of living in Huntingdon Regards, Prasath
Prasath, it will be a lot less expensive than London. When I did a quick search in rightmove, the average 2 bedroom rent is around 700 £ per month. Compared to London where it is 1200 £ roughly, this would be a good salary for that place. Best wishes.
It is a decent salary to start with. But it won't be comfortable with 2 kids with both of you working. Childcare is extremely expensive. That is the main challenge. But the point is your salaries should go up over time to compensate for it. Lifestyle in London is very different to India. We have to be prepared to adapt to that lifestyle. You do your own work, no domestic help, for e.g. But eventually the quality of life will become better.
Hello Sir, thanks you for your detailed video. Me and my wife are planning to move to london. I shev been offered a job with 34 k with london allowance near whitechaple, east london. Do you think it is possible to manange while living in one bed room apartment at a reasonable commute distance or it is too low to manage for two. Please do comment and thanks again for informative video.
Hi Anand ji, I am new subscriber of your channel. Your videos are very useful. I currently live in Hyderabad and got an offer to move to UK(Henley-on-Thames) under Tier-2 general visa. Hopefully, will travel in October or November this year. If you can suggest me agood area to rent a budget friendly 1bhk or 1bedroom flat? Some people suggested me for Reading. I would like to hear from you what would be the cost of living in Reading or Henely? Thank you so much for sharing the usefull information 🙂🙏
Reading is about 10 miles from Henley and a 15-20 minute drive without traffic. It is the biggest town near Henley on Thames. Henley On Thames is a bit of a posh place. You can take a glimpse of it here in the video we made in my wife's channel - ua-cam.com/video/Yb9lNJ_TyEA/v-deo.html 1 Bed apartment in Henley can be 800-850£ + . Also if you don't have a car, Henley might be a bit difficult. There are not that many Indian Grocery shops / Eating places there. However Reading has lots of grocery stores and eateries from fast food to restaurants and a big mall. You can get rents from 550 to 600 £ for studio. There are even cheaper ones which are very tiny as they are built for the students in Reading university. I suggest rent in Reading for 6 months and then decide once you got to know the area.
@@AnandChennai thanks very very much Anand ji. I appreciate your help and guidance as always. Sorry, I did not mention but I will be moving along with my wife hence was looking for 1 bedroom flat as studio flat will be bit tiny. However, your advice is very usefull to stay in reading for 6 months and then explore the near by area. I like this suggestion of your's and I am very thankful.
Siddharth, that is a very hard question to answer esp the decent lifestyle. Even if you earn 100,000 £ , the comforts of high earning in India you will not get in UK. Like having domestic help to do every house hold work for e.g. Ability to afford a driver. Regardless of the salary, those are not very affordable. So the lifestyle will change in UK. But without kids having a salary of about 60k £ gives you a decent quality lifestyle and with kids you need a bit higher than that. And if you are in London [probably around 70k £ . That includes the ability to take a couple of vacations in a year and eat out and things like that.
Yes Barnali, it is a good salary . It is much higher than the average salary. School is totally free. You will have to pay for things like uniform and shoes.
Raksh, solicitors earn really good money in UK. That's because there is a legal requirement for solicitors for many things including every house purchase. So on an average a solicitor earns around 60 to 70,000 £ and sometimes close to 100,000 £ in london. but if you are in initial training days it will be lower till you become qualified
monthly salary = around 1500
monthly rent = around 1000
for your other expenses = around 500 = not enough.
Thank you for explaining in a simple way... It has bought a clear vision on how the life is going to be in uk
I am glad to hear that Teju 👍
This is why I have seen people deciding to live in Middle East rather than in UK
A person got 75000 Pounds per year with 3200 pounds in hand in London
And same person got 85000 Pounds
Equivalent in Dubai with 7200 pounds per month in Hand... this saving 4000 per month extra in Dubai
Very nice video sir. Since I have been selected by a hospital to work in UK, this comparison video and explanation was very useful for me. Once again lot of thanks to you.

1: Is it a good salary???
2: if I have a family of 5 people including me what would be the cost for living in London per year??

Thanks Muthu Parithy. I am not sure if it is easy for someone to buy a property like that when you are a non-resident. Will try and find out.
@@AnandChennai Thank you ji, Let me know

Thanks for the encouraging words Vanitha Christy 🙂
Really nice and concise video with practical inputs. Thank you.
What about clothes and saloon items. In London life is very tuff and coustly as compared to other country. If purchased car it has very higher costs of insurance and e.t.c
Hello Anand,
I just now checked this video of yours. As I work in France, here we have been granted 2.5 days per month of day off if needed or we could accumulate all these days and plan a vacation. Can I know about the paid day offs for a month?
Hi Roshya, it is similar in Uk as well. Depends on the company too. But I get pretty much the same as you. 26 days accrued as 2 days and a bit every month and can accumulate it. That is what most people do. They accumulate and take one or 2 vacations in the year for 2-3 weeks at a time.
@@AnandChennai bro which country is best for savings is it Ireland Dublin or London UK?

How much money can I save in UK ?
Thank you for your information about many stuffs sir. kindly keep posting more and more videos about the life in UK so that people especially students like me who are willing to spend their life abroad will get enough knowledge. By the way, I'm studying mbbs in philippines looking to work abroad. Thank you Anand sir.
Thank you Jayasurya
Anand you have delivered it as informative as one could think of. I really appreciate your efforts to make this happen. Thanks a lot. I'm planning to move to Glasgow, is it same case like London interms of expenses?
Thanks Ranjith. Glasgow is Scotland. Some of it will be a little bit cheaper for there. But essentially same . House prices should be lesser there.
Nicely articulated.. I actually lose focus if I have to continuously listen to verbal vedio.. but you nicely orated..
Thanks shyam. I am like you. So probably was trying to make sure it wasn't like a classroom lecture :)
Hi brother,
I am a Civil engineer and working in SYSTRA in the Indian Railway Project as a Railway Track Inspector.... I m interested to work in UK Railway company.... Please guide me brother.... How can I find a job in uk and how I will get salary in uk
How much minimum salary I will get salary in uk if I get job in uk
Hello sir. Thanks for this nice Video. My query is that- Is GBP 40000 Yearly a good salary in UK (Other than London) London...??????
Nishant it is a good salary. Most people get that kind of salary even after 10-15 years experience
yes good
Mr Anand, excellant description. Can you suggest the amount one should take while coming to UK to join the job, considering the salary will come in the next month only. I will be landing initially alone in UK, shall bring my family few months later once i stabilize a bit.
Krishnendu, I suggest bringing around 3000 £ roughly if you are coming alone. That should be more than enough for a month for a person coming alone and staying alone except for the house deposit if you find a house for rent. You can transfer money at that time. I brought only 500 £ when I came. But I had the ability to withdraw up to 250 £ per day using my Indian Debit Card in UK (ICICI) from any ATM. For my House Deposit, I had withdrawn money from the bank for 3-4 days and deposited into UK bank account as an easier option to transfer the money that time as I didn't have a proper money transfer process setup.
@@AnandChennaithank you very much for the reply.
Money transfer plan seems really good.
Thanks again.
Hello Anand I had got onsite project from my company to work at client end in London.

The project is going to last for 2yrs minimum
Wat shall I do??
Sir,I am a Homoeopathic Physician!Did u move to London?is your wife practising?we will be moving because my husband too will be shifting to UK!
Hi Anand. Very informative video. Thanks a lot :) What salaries can we expect for software engineers in London who have 6-7 years of experience? Is there a scope for Software Engineers in London at all? What are the chances of finding a Software engineer job in London?
Hard to say Naveen. Software engineer is too generic. You need a niche skillset. Like CRM, and need even more product skillset like Salesforce or Siebel for e.g. That's how the market is. There are people who have 10-15 years of experience and get 30 lakhs salaries in India and come to Uk and get only 2500 to 3000 £ per month. But some times if they have a good skillset they could be earning less than 10 lakhs in India and get 4000£+ per month in UK. it all depends on your skillset and demand at that time in the market.
Very well explained. This was very informative. Thanks!!!
Thanks 👍🙂
I am planning to pursue masters in UK in Mechanical Engineering and I will have to borrow 22 students loan and I am having around 7 years of experience in India and in the Middle East. Will I be able to recoup the loan amount INR 22 lakhs in two years time because as a graduate I will be eligible for 2 years PSW. Is the risk worth taking?
Hello sir. Could you please let me know whether an expense/cost of living per month amounting to 1500 pounds is reasonable for a single professional living in London ( not much spendthrift person and simple lifestyle)
extremely useful and detailed. Pls make more English videos. every minute was enjoyed
Thank you Mohammed. Will definitely try.
Very helpful and easy to understand..... thank you
What a nice video, very altruistic of you to take the time and energy to do it.
That's very kind of you to say. Thanks MarinerJames.
Really useful for all of us thanks for your useful video post. keep going on rock💪 good luck...sir
I have been selected to work for Musgrove park hospital, Tauton and Somerset. Do you think it’s safe and economical to be there, I am travelling alone, your valuable suggestion would help me a lot.
Tashi, it is away from London and so cost of london will be lesser. UK in general is a safe place . So don't worry about safety. It is an NHS hospital. Long of Indians and asians work in NHS hospitals and you can even find people to share Accomodation with .
Anand Chennai2London thank you sir
Hello sir, I am software developer living in Gandhinagar, Gujarat, India. My current salary is 80k. I am living a good life but it's my dream to settle in abroad.

hi sir,thanks for this informative video.i m having one question.do u have any idea reagarding salary in pharma companies with 15 years experience pls
The way you explained was damn good. Thank you sir
thanks Tarandeep
With so much of cost and expenditure,still people like to go overseas for work .I feel now days in Chennai if you happened to be public sector employee,life will be very good in Chennai .the facility you mentioning in UK available cheaply and further you can afford house help.still people like to go aborad.expecting honest reply from you
Life is certainly more comfortable in certain aspects in Chennai and India. Like domestic help, child care, parents support esp if you are in a decent job. People go abroad still because there is still a gap . Sometimes people go to earn and come back with savings. Sometimes there is a trade off to facilities still not commonly available like accessible clean toilets everywhere, less stressful school workload, less social taboo and peer pressure like to put kids in expensive schools or get them expensive things.
Anand Chennai2London yes you are correct.. there are pros & cons everywhere. However, you can't have much control over your kids in UK (unless you are a lucky parent & have really obeying kids). High possibility of kids falling prey to drugs, & other bad habits, once they turn teenage.. Home help (maid), babysitter for kids, car maintenance, insurance, council tax, & trip to India & often sundry expenses takes more than 80-90% of the income. Physical hardships like daily household chores is really exhausting as compared to India (where you can easily relax at home after office hours)..
Very good point Elangovan! Chennai has a much better weather, much better housing stock, good schools, roads, infrastructure and on top of that, household help. I don’t understand why people want to move to UK. The only good thing about living in the UK is its proximity to Europe so that you can visit a large number of places..apart from that, it is better in India. And I didn’t even mention the food in India 😋
Awesome job man! Very well explained.
Very well explained sir,I will be joining NHS hospital as a nurse in future, will it be a good decision,I have one child
Thanks a lot; it's very informative; could you make a video on the future job market after Brexit & corona pandemic?

Anand:I have the question that I am senior citizen in canada so what's the states of living should we can get the uk same pension funds as we are getting in canada
Hello sir I have a doubt... regarding work in UK.. one of the owner from Uk company he is ready to offer me a job but the situation is he was unable to provide me a work visa..because his company was not listed in uk sponsorship terms..is there is any possibility to get the visas for this situation... some one have told me about UMBRELLA SYSTEM can yo explain me the possibilities about it
Dipson, if he is really interested and has a UK company, he can apply for a sponsorship license. That's a lot easier than going with a third party which will complicate things.
Hello Anand can you make it again for current situation please, that too in English
Hi sir as I mentioned in my comment earlier I have received job offer from a hospital which is in London city (royal free hospital London) and I am going to attend another interview in the coming weeks for another hospital also in UK (salisbury hospital UK). In your opinion which place is more economical to live with my family? Please give your opinion sir? And is salsbury a good place to live and work in the UK?
Rajiv, Salisbury is definitely cheaper to live compared to London City. Quality of life is better when you move away from London. Except for the fact that you may not find that many Indians around.
Thank you sir,
I'm a +2 graduate student and I'm planning to apply for UK
What is the average monthly income in UK if you stay outside the London
For +2 , even if you get a job it will be minimum wages which is around 8 £ per hour. So 50-60£ per day roughly 1000 £ per month with 22 days working.
Thank you for the guidance sir 🙏
Welcome 👍
Thank you bro it's really help us
Appreciate your feedback Chandu Juial
Thank you sir. Very helpful information
Hi Sir, Thanks for the video and it is very informative. I have a question, My company is going to process Tier 2 (ICT) visa. If ABC company is processing my Tier 2 ICT visa, after working for sometime in UK for ABC company, can I switch to another company? or Do I need to stick to ABC alone as they are going to process my visa? Also, can my spouse work in UK on dependent visa? Please clarify? Thanks!
Lavanya, I have explained this in detail in my visa video. Please watch the English version here - ua-cam.com/video/ZWVcUus0sr0/v-deo.html
You can switch to tier 2 general as I had explained. But there is a 12 month cooling off period when you have to work in India. So your tier 2 general sponsor should be willing to allow you to work from outside UK for 12 months. Alternatively the best option is for your spouse to start working (he can work immediately in UK after coming here as a tier 2 dependent) and find a tier 2 general sponsor and you can then switch to dependent visa. That way you can avoid the 12 month cooling off period.
Super information Anand sir...
Thank you Mohanambal 👍🙂
Thanks it's really useful
Dear Anand,
Your videos are very informative . Good work .
Need suggestions please .
I am based in Paris (EU citizen ) . Around 15 years of IT experience. I have been offered a job in Huntingdon. IT Manager.
When comes to Salary they offer 50£ annual.
Is that good salary in Huntingdon ?
I checked in Payscale and glassdoor. The salary range is almost same.
Let me know your suggestions please , about cost of living in Huntingdon
Regards,
Prasath
Prasath, it will be a lot less expensive than London. When I did a quick search in rightmove, the average 2 bedroom rent is around 700 £ per month. Compared to London where it is 1200 £ roughly, this would be a good salary for that place. Best wishes.
Dear Anand , thank you very much for the response 🙏
Please keep continuing your good work.
Good job you explain very good
Very informative... Plz do more videos in English 😊
Thanks Kartheeka. Will definitely do soon.
2 married junior doctors earning £2000 pounds each , can they survive . And raise up kids and have a nice house and good future for kids ? Thanks
It is a decent salary to start with. But it won't be comfortable with 2 kids with both of you working. Childcare is extremely expensive. That is the main challenge. But the point is your salaries should go up over time to compensate for it. Lifestyle in London is very different to India. We have to be prepared to adapt to that lifestyle. You do your own work, no domestic help, for e.g. But eventually the quality of life will become better.
Anand Chennai2London thanks Mr Anand. Are parents allowed to come over and stay for like an year for child care ?
Useful video. Thanks.

Hello Sir, thanks you for your detailed video. Me and my wife are planning to move to london. I shev been offered a job with 34 k with london allowance near whitechaple, east london. Do you think it is possible to manange while living in one bed room apartment at a reasonable commute distance or it is too low to manage for two. Please do comment and thanks again for informative video.
Karan, if you don't have kids, you can manage for a while. However, please note that it will be a bit of a struggle to save money for some time.

Hi Anand ji, I am new subscriber of your channel. Your videos are very useful. I currently live in Hyderabad and got an offer to move to UK(Henley-on-Thames) under Tier-2 general visa. Hopefully, will travel in October or November this year. If you can suggest me agood area to rent a budget friendly 1bhk or 1bedroom flat? Some people suggested me for Reading. I would like to hear from you what would be the cost of living in Reading or Henely? Thank you so much for sharing the usefull information 🙂🙏
Reading is about 10 miles from Henley and a 15-20 minute drive without traffic. It is the biggest town near Henley on Thames. Henley On Thames is a bit of a posh place. You can take a glimpse of it here in the video we made in my wife's channel - ua-cam.com/video/Yb9lNJ_TyEA/v-deo.html
1 Bed apartment in Henley can be 800-850£ + . Also if you don't have a car, Henley might be a bit difficult. There are not that many Indian Grocery shops / Eating places there. However Reading has lots of grocery stores and eateries from fast food to restaurants and a big mall. You can get rents from 550 to 600 £ for studio. There are even cheaper ones which are very tiny as they are built for the students in Reading university. I suggest rent in Reading for 6 months and then decide once you got to know the area.
@@AnandChennai thanks very very much Anand ji. I appreciate your help and guidance as always. Sorry, I did not mention but I will be moving along with my wife hence was looking for 1 bedroom flat as studio flat will be bit tiny. However, your advice is very usefull to stay in reading for 6 months and then explore the near by area. I like this suggestion of your's and I am very thankful.
Excellent
What is the salary for a decent lifestyle for a single person and for a couple in and outside london?
Siddharth, that is a very hard question to answer esp the decent lifestyle. Even if you earn 100,000 £ , the comforts of high earning in India you will not get in UK. Like having domestic help to do every house hold work for e.g. Ability to afford a driver. Regardless of the salary, those are not very affordable. So the lifestyle will change in UK. But without kids having a salary of about 60k £ gives you a decent quality lifestyle and with kids you need a bit higher than that. And if you are in London [probably around 70k £ . That includes the ability to take a couple of vacations in a year and eat out and things like that.
@@AnandChennai is this 60k for a couple?
Yes for a couple.
Hi sir nala clear ah pesureenga sir very interesting video sir
Thank you so much Karthiga Vinoth
Make a video on electrician and plumbers
hallo sir is 60 k pound is good for a family couple nd one kid in illford, my daughter is in 3 rd is state school totali free education?
Yes Barnali, it is a good salary . It is much higher than the average salary. School is totally free. You will have to pay for things like uniform and shoes.
What work are you doing in Uk?
Anna, Please put a video about state pension details. Thanks
thanks anna super vedio

@@AnandChennai thankyou precious
Dear sir, how about the salary of a lawyer who works as a solicitor?, please reply
Raksh, solicitors earn really good money in UK. That's because there is a legal requirement for solicitors for many things including every house purchase. So on an average a solicitor earns around 60 to 70,000 £ and sometimes close to 100,000 £ in london. but if you are in initial training days it will be lower till you become qualified
