UK, Ireland / Registering a Polish car in UK..? [13]

I'm going to driving over my new car from Poland to England.

you are right, it's worth investigating first.
you put yourself to some expense, roughly 1000 -2500 pounds (including everything)

UK, Ireland / Question about flats/houses in Ireland/UK. [11]

she said "oh my God, I can't believe so many things here are much more expensive than in the UK!",

that's true, e.g. telephone calls: here few pounds for hours, in Poland I used to pay 20-30 pounds for less.

UK, Ireland / Question about flats/houses in Ireland/UK. [11]

100,000-120,000 pounds. Also, we'll have maybe 10-15k extra from other sources. Will we be able to buy something decent in the UK?

you will buy a house for that sum in some areas, but i would polemicize whether it's a "decent" house, on the other hand if you are not a demanding person.......

600-700, yes, for rent, close to nice and big cities much more than that

Council tax for a house can be well over 1000 pounds/year.
TV licence over 100pounds/year
TV, land line and internet less than 100pounds/month,
gas, electricity, water, it also depends can be around 100/month all together but really depends.

if you rent far from London or other big city eg 3bedroom detached house can be around 600-700 pounds/month plus the above mentioned.
