I'm so beyond fed up of living in shit private accommodation (cold, vermin, inconsiderate flatmates) I'm going to put some time into researching and applying for social housing if I can.
However, would it really be much cheaper than private rents in London? I can't find any examples of rents for a studio flat or a one bedroom online it is so frustrating. I don't want to spend hours jumping through hoops if I couldn't afford it at the end of the day anyway.
And yes I know it might take years to ever get the chance to even bid on a council property, but I need to try several things to save my sanity. Another plan is to raise my income so I can move out of the borough to a cheaper area I could have a decent private rented studio, but that's obviously difficult too, to just earn more money. I'm working on it however.
I know it's rude to ask what people pay in rent but please if anyone has any idea of zone 2 London social housing prices could they share it with me?

To ask how much are Council or Social Housing properties in London in general, or Camden in particular?
