Default moving to sydney

Hi All, I am looking for advice on moving to Sydney, we have to young boys and a dog. My husband has been offered a job there but with a reduction in salary. Can anyone advice me on the cost of living in Sydney for a family of 4 compared to the UK.

I am keen to move but want to make sure we are doing the right thing as we might have to sell our home in the UK and it a large step to take. Thanks

Hi Jenny,

Sydney is the most expensive city to live in Australia. If you want to get a good idea about the cost of living, and where to live, check out this very good website called - cityhobo.

Some places are more expensive than others, eg, the beach suburbs are all more expensive, and the closer you are to the city centre, the higher the prices for rental accommodation or buying property.

A lot depends on what sort of lifestyle you are after. But if you check out the above website, it may help you work out if you can afford the move and where you may want to live.

Cheers
