Your electrtical stuff will work but your TV may need to go through a digibox or sky dish to get it up and running.
We just got back in August after 6 and a half years in NZ.

Hi
Thanks for that, how are you finding it? Are you happy you made the move, where were you living in NZ?

Re: Will NZ electrical goods work in the UK?
so 'welcome to BE'
You'll see from my signature that we gave NZ a go ( OH born in NZ but raised in UK) but for a variety of reasons (the main one being my homesickness ) we made the decision to come back to UK after a much shorter stay than yours ....but likewise we both knew it was the right thing to do. Good luck on your return......you're bound to be nervous
but at least you'll have summer to look forward to 
and happy posting on BE!!B x
