Thank you Marisa, just wanted to get a clearer picture before starting anything. I am so glad I joined this group, everyone has been very helpful.

Just a scenario but if I have sold my house and the money is in my Australian bank account, container on it's way to the UK. I have dealt with all outstanding bills here, now have flights booked, so when do I transfer my money to my UK account which I have kept open, do I do it now or when I get to the UK, or do I wait until I am about to purchase a home? Thank you in advance

Thank you Ken, every little bit of information helps

Thank you for your help, it has been very helpful.

Can someone advise me on how my husband and I would stand if we sold up and moved back to the UK please. We are both aged pensioners and receive a part UK pension, a small Australian pension that I understand will cease once we have moved, my husband has a superannuation income stream that we received monthly, we also have savings in our Australian bank account and would need to sell our house to purchase another in the UK. I am confused as I have been told we would be taxed on everything at 40 percent by the UK tax office, is this right? I kept my UK bank account open and have some savings there which I use for Christmas and birthday presents for my Grandchildren. Any advice will be most helpful.
