The visa is valid until its mentioned end date. However, the later you travel, the more questions you may be asked at the immigration on your delay in travel.

thanks moonlight55 for the quick reply.

The reason why i am asking for validity is because once my dependents and i receive our visa i will be travelling first to sort out things in uk and my wife and children will follow in 3 months time.

Will they still ask questions for the delay of my dependents?

Don't see any issues with it. Lots of folks do this.
