Hi Everyone,

I'm sure you get asked about the cost of living in Gibraltar all the time, but I can't seem to find anything recent.

We are a family of 4, 2 adults and 2 children, we are moving to Gibraltar in January and trying to work out what kind of monthly budget we will need. Does anyone have any approximate costs for:

TV-broadband-Telephone  Telephone + not very broad broadband £32 / mnth + calls, no free calls
TV no license , If you are renting other TV costs paid by landlord ( access to about 300 channels )


Mobile
Water & Gas/electricity NO gas water and electric average £100 / mnth
Council Tax Again if renting should be paid by Landlord if owning £6.60 / square metre / year  but 10& discount if paid prompty bills 4 X per year.
House Insurance Minimal I pay £120 / year for contents, building insurance is covered by Community Charges which vary from development to development but average out at about £20-£25 / metre / year.
Food Costs Slightly higher than UK
Petrol £1.05ish / ltr Free buses.
Car Insurance I believe cheaper than UK and comes with a 1 tear green card
Swimming Lessons
Nursery Fees
Sports clubs (ie kids football, kickboxing for kids and adults)
Anything else i've missed?

Sorry I know it's a long list but have trawled the internet and can't really find anything.

Many thanks
Natalie
