I'm new to the forum (thanks for being here!) and considering the possibility of relocating from the US to Surrey, specifically the Chertsey area. I'm trying to make sure I have all my ducks in a row in anticipation of an offer from my employer and thought it would be wise to put a note on this forum.

Just a quick bit about my situation - I've got a family of 4, and my older son will be 6 in September. My wife & I had a visit to the area recently and found a school we believe will be suitable - so that part is out of the way.

We don't plan to have a car and will be setting our lives up to accommodate that. With that in mind, here are the financial things I've got on my list:

• Housing
• Internet/phone
• Mobile phone
• Council tax
• Gas/electricity
• Water/sewer
• TV tax
• Travel costs (train, tube if in London)

Since this is a work relocation, all the visa/government paperwork stuff will be taken care of. So beyond that, other than food & "entertainment", is there anything else that you folks can see that I've missed?

Thanks for the feedback!
