If you are bringing your children to the UK you may need to budget for appropriate childcare. For example, if your child is under 5 you may need to pay private nursery fees (these vary by provider). You will also need to budget for suitable family accommodation and other essential costs such as associated bills, groceries and transport.As a guide, you should expect to pay around £750 - £1,300 per month for family accommodation in Nottingham, depending on the area. You should confirm whether it comes furnished/unfurnished and if bills are included. You will be asked to pay a refundable tenancy deposit for your chosen property. The deposit should be held by an approved tenancy deposit scheme. At the end of the tenancy (if no damages) the tenant should receive their deposit back. In addition to the deposit, you will be asked to pay rent upfront for at least 3 months, and in some cases up to 12 months. If you cannot do this, you will be asked to provide a UK-based guarantor.
