Rents are increasing, mortgage costs and inflation still high. A lot of landlords now doing 6 months tenancy rather than 12 months so rents can be increased after tenancy. We just let out 1 bedroom in zone 4 for £1350
3,500 is basically the average to spend.I have a family of three and we spend roughly the same and it will increase especially as baby grows, childcare/ nursery cost, once they start school it’s uniform, various lesson like swimming,piano,extra lessons etc. The country choke
£1200 for two bed in east of England is a lot. .. we are family of 4 living in south of England , 1hr 30mins drive to London or 45mins on the train . We live in a 3 bedroom with two toilet and bathroom and we pay £895 a month... council tax band B is £161.
@@ifyvincent.ikemefuna3781 kent. Places like faversham, folk stones, Ashford etc. this was 3yrs ago when we moved from London, so the price may have gone up a bit but it’s still cheaper compare to other places. One of my friend was paying £795 for a two bed with husband & two kids.
Good Stuff… £3,500 is fair, could be better but for Zone 9, it’s okay. I do about £2200 for a family of 5. Last year, it was below £2k. I also work in London and considering moving closer but still searching for rent under £1k or house under £250k ish
@@Oluyimikaa This is a money video so how is it personal, there are so many videos of people talking about money and how it's shared within their household. Why is money conversation seen as such a big deal in our communities? These conversations need to be had and a lot to learn from. Chill babe😘
A few people have said this already, but your gas bill seems very high for a 2-bed. You should look into why and possibly even half it. Amazing video. I usually don't like videos where someone is just talking to me like it's a sermon, lol but I watched the entire thing.
I am curious to know what delicious meals your family enjoy! The twelve min walk to the gym would not have deterred me, I would have maybe enjoyed it, I used to walk 20 mins to my local station to commute and enjoyed that. I have not lived in the UK for ages but am originally from London and enjoyed your video. All the best!
Oyikan please, lemme chip in this one... Public transport is not cheaper than having your car biko... Time is precious, you get around way quicker in your car, and as for the running cost, road tax, mot, fuel, etc aint more than £150 per month, unless you're going from Aberdeen to Southampton everyday. That £550/month will get you a decent car, you'll have change on top the running cost, and save plenty precious time.
Doesn’t work that way if you live in London. My husband works in central London which makes it almost impossible for him to drive to work cos he would have to pay congestion charge(£15/day), ULEZ charge(£15/ day) LEZ charge (£12;50/ day) and parking charge on top of the car fees and fuel costs each and every time he goes into work. So it still works out to be cheaper to use public transport than to drive
@@DrHunnay Admittedly. Owning newer vehicles, you're exempt from some of these bills. There's the park and ride to cut down on some of them too. But you see that daily parking fee?? Abeg, count me out, I cannot can 😂😂😂😂. I get your points though.
Your Sky Broadbandatively cheap for £14 a month, but please check on the terms and conditions if they would be increasing it after the promo period. With regards to your mobile phones, you and your hubby can still get a better deal of about £10 a month from the smaller networks like Smarty, Talk, Tesco, Giffgaff, etc. A, oid the big networks, and don't worry about the network coverage as the smaller use the mast of the bigger networks.
I am very impressed at how well you explain the subject matter. Very clear and important information that I am sure will enable others to think before they make any decisions. Great video
@@DrHunnay not referring to food ooo, cos I probably spend more on food than you 😂. (Only keep wondering where the food dey enter) Was referring to the light/gas bill in the comment.

Thanks for sharing
It’s not even worth it to drive into London. Lack of available parking and congestion charges. It’s better to use the tube.
Mehn these billsss🤯. I don't think the system really wants anyone to save. Just work enough to survive; except you're having to work extra hours 😵💫
I swear! E choke
1200 for 2beds in southeast is really good. I’m in Dartford, Kent and paying 750 for studio apartment. 2 bedroom is 1400+ here
Wow!
I rent a 3 bedroom house for £1,100 in Southend . It really does depend on where you live.

Heya, watched this and thought to mention that it's 100 pounds cheaper to pay for BMA annually (140) compared to 20pounds monthly (240)
Oh wow. Thank you for sharing

Subscriptions are expensive. Mine are £100+ in total. You absorb the cost but it all adds up when you calculate it though.
We pay 1250 here in Guildford as well i feel its too expensive

Hi just subscribed because i wanted to know the cost of living in the UK and live in the UK
😍😍😍
What happened to your lovely car you had? I think I've missed out a lot 😅
The purchase never went through successfully
I love the way you spelt things out - still on still, its still worth it than back home.. thanks for the video
Always! glad you liked it
Make a video on who pays for what between yourself and your husband .Basically how is the bills shared between you guys
We don’t really share bills. We put our income together and spend from it as one purse and plan for savings and investments from that purse.
@@DrHunnay okay fair enough.I love this
@@DrHunnayGood dear
