Living Expenses in the North East

 

Living in the North East is relatively cheap if compared to the south of England. If you are moving from anywhere in the south (London and the suburbs or further south: Brighton, Portsmouth, etc) you will definitely find that the North East is much cheaper than these places. If you are moving from the midlands, Leeds and Yorkshire, you will also find the North East a bit cheaper. This might not be the case if your coming from other regions such Scotland, Wales and the North West as living expenses may vary.

If you are moving from abroad, you will generally get the feeling that living in the UK is not cheap. This is mainly due to the strength of the British Sterling pound and difference in currency.

To give you a general idea about living expenses we will give you some average prices in Newcastle but by no mean take these price ranges as an exact accurate range. Price varies and these ranges are for indication only.

Average price of a room to rent in Newcastle is around £150 - £270. You might find cheaper though if many people are sharing a small flat and you will definitely find more expensive.

For a flat to rent in an area such as Fenham prices may vary from £275 for a 2 bedroom ground floor flat up to £450 for a nice 3 bedroom flat. These prices specially apply for areas were a lot of Muslims are living such as Fenham in Newcastle where a lot of Muslims are living there and is relatively close to the city centre and to both Universities: Newcastle and Northumbria. Alternatively, if you are looking for a descent house, prices start at £500-
£550 and up to £850 for a nice house. Of course, you can still get better houses for higher prices if you have some extra cash to spend every month!

Food prices really vary from one person to another. Someone can be able to spend £100 only for food for the whole month while someone else might spend £500. In average, a small family can live with around £200 - £300 a month. May be slightly more if it is a big family (4, 5 children).

Please let un know if you have further questions.
