Ok, I'm starting to realize that my move overseas will generate an obscene amount of paperwork.
Average costs:
Rent (Cambridge) : 650 monthly (2 bedroom)
Electricity: 20-30 monthly
Gas: 20-30 monthly
Council tax: 90-110 monthly
Groceries: 70-100 weekly
Still need to figure out costs of cell phone, internet connection and cable TV. Need to make proper budget, esp. given that I have things to pay in Canada
Things I need to buy:
– appliances
– couch
– anything electric (lamps, small kitchen appliances, alarm clock, TV/DVD/VCR)
Try and sell off the I have here
Rental offices:
City of Cambridge
South and East of the City are best residential options for travel to Hinxton
