I help you find accommodation that offers the best value for money by leveraging local networks and insider knowledge. Rent costs vary depending on location, personal preferences, and the level of comfort you’re looking for.
As for your everyday expenses (food, transport, phone plans, and other essentials), it’s worth noting that overall, groceries in the UK tend to be cheaper than in France.
Transport costs depend largely on where you live. I assist you in choosing housing that optimises both your travel time and transportation expenses (see FAQ section).
You can then estimate your personal expenses more accurately to plan ahead with confidence. The variation in the main expense categories clearly shows how strategic budgeting can make a real financial difference.
