Frequently Asked Questions

Is Mumbai expensive?

Mumbai's property market is among Asia's most expensive, particularly in South Mumbai. However, other living costs (food, transport, domestic help) are very affordable by UK standards.

What's the expat lifestyle like in Mumbai?

Vibrant and social. There's a well-established British expat community with clubs, schools, and social groups. International schools are excellent but expensive.

What about the monsoon season?

Mumbai's monsoon runs June to September with heavy rainfall. The city can flood during peak monsoon. Most expats find it manageable and even enjoy the drama of the rains.
