To wonder just how much rent you people are paying?

[sezamcgregor]

I often see posters commenting on how much rent they are paying to live in nice areas/near good schools etc. and I can't help but wonder how much you are all paying!

I am lucky that I live in a Housing Association house, and that I live in the North where rents seem to be cheaper.

My rent is £420 a month for a 2 bedroom house - how much is yours?

£329 per month 2 bed mid terrace in East Yorkshire. - I am council though.

£1400/month, 2 bed central London, lucky it hasn't gone up in 2 years.

Wow im house hunting now thinking how expensive it is but I can see that im lucky to live in Belfast where it is relatively cheap. 2 bedroom houses newly decorated average £450pcm, just 10 minutes from the city centre. still dont wanna pay more than £400

£800 PCM for a naice 3 bedroom bungalow with office, garden, and utility room in Norwich.

We could have gotten something for less but we lived in Oxford before where we were paying 950 for a horrid damp 2 bed flat in a tower block, so it seems worth it given our past!

£1500 PCM for 5 bed farmhouse with an acre paddock. It's very rural but still only 1hour from East London.Bargain.

Firstly you are not lucky for living in the north,or in a HA house!

Only joking,but i couldn't resist!

1400 a month here,4 bed detatched,south east on the coast.

4000 quid a month for a 1 bed flat. It's in Hong Kong though, and we only pay 15% income tax.

I rent out a 2 bed semi detatched house in Central Scotland out for 850 pcm and a 1 bed flat in East London for 1300 pcm.

God I can't believe how cheap it is outside london! When we last rented a 2bed flat SW zone 2 about 4yrs ago it was £925/PCM, a friend now lives in the flat we once rented and pays £1200/PCM

In 2007, we paid 725 for a lovely 2 bed in a very nice part of SE London. Moved 3 times in 6 years due to landlords selling up. Got priced out to Croydon outskirts eventually, and paid 975 for grim 2 bed. Letting agent was trying to bump that up to 1100 for new tenants. We moved abroad. Rents are high here but apartments are spacious, new, in wonderfully maintained. We pay about 850 for a 2 bed in lovely, safe area.

We paid 1800 pounds a month in Central London.

Now around $4,000 a month on a mortgage in Sydney.

£380 a month for a two bed HA house in NE England. It has a garden, allocated parking, brand new fixtures/fittings and solar panels so our gas/electric is quite cheap too.

Three bed 200 year old terrace with large yard on the edge of Greater Manchester for 575 pm. 1.5 miles from the station and 25 minutes to Manchester by train. 5 minutes walk from one good primary and 25 minutes walk to another good primary. 4 miles to a good academy high school. Semi rural but regular bus to next town which has a great market.

in comparison - we now pay around 1800/PCM to live in a fairly nice area 10min drive from the beach in a major city in southern california in a 3bedroom detached house with a huge garden...

£900 for a two bed house in South Gloucestershire.

£950 for a studio. London, naturally

$300 AUD per month for a 3 bedroom house with massive backyard in a rural Aussie town

5feralloinfruits - Joking aside, I'm very lucky.

I live in a town where land to build on is scarce, they built 40 new houses and I was lucky enough to get one. Unless I fall behind with my rent, the house is mine until I want to leave. I have two off road parking spaces, a garden (albeit small) and excellent schools on my doorstep.

If I were renting privately, I'd have to pay £550+ and have no advantages and the owner could decide to sell up at any time.

575 for a new build four bed/two reception detached, five minutes walk from an outstanding primary school.

Hopefully we're moving soon two a three bed/two reception, thirty seconds walk from an outstanding primary school in a different town.

I'm in the North east so rent isn't too bad, but it is slightly galling that the mortgage on both of those houses would be around 125 pcm cheaper.

850 pcm 4 bed 2 bath rural nsw

750 PCM for a 4 bed semi in a village in north yorks

£725pcm for a 2 bed flat in bristol. Used to be £425pcm for a 2 bed in an area of similar quality in Plymouth and that was only 2 years ago

We're about to rent our house out, 3 bed townhouse in Oxfordshire we're expecting £1350 a month for it.

£600 a month for a 2 bed house in a village near Norwich. Private lane, big garden, good school within walking distance. Even better than that, my LL lets me decorate, put up shelves, change the garden and basically treat the house as a home. She is more interested in having good long-term tenants than worrying over waht colour the walls are

sezamcgregor Council flats are rare where I am but I don't really see me as lucky to have one - I only have it because I'm so unlucky really. I got priority for it due to some very harrowing experiences, I would much rather have lived without that and be paying for a private rental like all the other people here who have had normal lives and the ability to work and pay those rents.

£350 PCM for a 4 bed, 2 bathroom HA house. Rent is based on it still being a 3 bed- I did wonder if they were going to hike the rent up when it became a 4 bed- but they haven't. We're in wales.

We lived in another HA 3 bed in the midlands for £400 PCM, 5 years ago- private renting a 4 bed for £25 a week more when we moved to wales wasn't too much of a stretch, especially when the rent was going up by £8 a week every year with the HA.

Houses in our general area range from £600-£800 for a 3 or 4 bed for private lets.
