Hello All,
I am new to the site 
My family and I are looking to relocate to Umhlanga and was wondering if any of you could help us with the cost of living please. We are a family of four looking to move to at least a 4 bed home on a gated complex. We are after rough figures for the cost of running a house as well as weekly costs for things like groceries? I understand this can be variable but we are just after a rough idea....
Please talk to us!

Hi LondonCalling1310,
Welcome to Expat.com
I invite you to browse through the discussion regarding the cost of living in South Africa which may provide with some useful information.
Will the members of your family be working when they will be in South Africa?
Best of luck,

Groceries should cost between R1000 to R50000 per month. Basic utilities should be about R5000 per month. Renting the house should be close to R30000.
