Nay, once you have chosen where you want to live, we will be able to post you information regarding the council tax. This tax (which is compulsory) is around 1500-3000 UK pounds a year and is on top of all the other utilities. Failure to pay this tax can end in a prison sentence - no joke. A robber is more likely to get a slap on the hand than a jail sentence.

No way to forget about it.
There is "cheap" property in Kensington and Chelsea, the problem is that is too small for a family (what you pay there for 1 bedroom flat in a bad part of the borough would be enough to pay a 2 or 3 bed in East London).
