Bring money from Outside the UK

[Vodo1988]

Hi all,
i'm working in the UK in a Tier-2 visa and this is my first year in the UK
i'm planning to withdraw my money from my home country and bring it to the UK through a bank transfer.
now i earned all these money before i come to the UK. i'm planning to bring the money to buy a house.
do i need to pay any tax for this? noting that it's a lump sum transaction from my country...and my old company paid the taxes for it in my country. i've this money since 2 years ago.

do i need to pay any tax? is there limits ?

You are better asking a chartered accountant. Or just google it.
