If you are thinking about moving to UK, cost of living in probably a key consideration. Expats commented about the cost of housing...

"Housing costs are much higher here if you take exchange rates into affect. In US dollars a 600 square foot apartment in our home country would cost $500 while our flat here in US dollars is $1300US. To purchase a 1600 Sq foot new home in our home city would cost $125,000US while a home here for the same size would cost $365,000US. Incredibly discouraging," explained one expat living in Abingdon, UK.
