Welcome Stamp Questions

3 years ago

Hi all,

Like lots of people on here, my fiancee and I are really interested in the Welcome Stamp that is currently on offer but have a few questions that we would really appreciate some help with if anyone has experience or knowledge of:

What are some of the best health insurance companies to look at? I've found a few but would be great to get recommendations (I have a pre-existing heart condition).
Has anyone brought a cat (or dog) with them? We have a cat that we want to bring and would love some advice on the best way to do this.
In comparison to the UK how expensive are food and household items? We live in London so confident we can save on rent but curious about other costs.
What are other 'life' costs like? Phone contracts, cost of a haircut etc.
I've seen the wifi speed is excellent but is it reliable? We'll both be working remotely so this is vital!

If there's any other advice you feel would be useful, please do let me know!

Thanks for reading.

James
