If housing and school fees are in addition to the salary amount, then I would say it is a good offer. If not, then it is a so so offer. 30k per year per child but that is for primary schools, figure on more for older children. Eating out is not cheap here, unless you plan to do all yor dining out at mcdonalds etc. owning a pet is seriously expensive in terms of vets bills (and even good quality pet food is astronomical). The supermarkets are not cheap, unless you want to just buy locally grown veg (not many options here) and pakistani beef, then australian lamb and been are probably twice the price of the UK and of ok quality but not what you are used to. And of course you can now get bacon, ham and sausages from the one place in town but be prepared for them to be very expensive, I bought a small ham joint the other day and it cost about £45, so this is a serious luxury item as opposed to at home where it is just every day item
