How much does the rent vary all over the country?

[Miaoriely2017]

only answer if your comfortable but what rent is paid in different areas of the country?
Reading through threads and it's a bit of a eye opener.
I have a 2 bed in north east (social housing) and pay £330 a month
My boyfriend was talking about eventually moving further south (he works as a haulage driver and more work ) how much would social or private housing be down south?

London, zone 4. 1400 / m for a very modern two bed flat.

Large two-bedroom semi with garage, garden and huge kitchen. £550 pcm in inner city Leeds (private rental).

3 bed Northants village £950 a month

Two years ago I was a landlord in London due to unexpected move. My flat was a 2 bed in zone 2, SE London. Rented it for £1100 pcm. Rented a 3 bed in the West End of Glasgow for £620 pcm.

Sold London flat and bought up here so my knowledge may now be out of date.

Hertfordshire, 3 bed semi with gardem, £2000 pcm

3 bed end terrace house in Gosport Hampshire (in between Portsmouth and Southampton) £695 pcm.
However, I know that other people near us do pay up to about £900 for 3 bed properties!

How do people find it in touristy areas renting? I know it's a completely different market so different types of landlord but when you can rent a holiday let out for a month for the same income as a years long term let. Does it make it more tricky to find secure homes?

In my experience yes. I've lived in very touristy cities and rural areas and in both there's a massive lack of 1 & 2 bed accommodation because so many people are renting out as holiday homes now. If you wander round Edinburgh, Bath, Brighton, the Lake District etc you'll see lots of little key safes next to doors. They're pretty much all holiday flats. The returns on them could be massive - my old rental in Edinburgh was £800/month for a two bed
but my neighbour told me he was getting that per week during the Festival and over Xmas & New Year - and no agency fees etc.

Smallish 2 bed semi house with tiny garden in Essex £950

2 bed apartment - decorated to a high standard - in the Midlands (fairly new build) we rent out privately for £600pcm

I still love at home because in this pocket of Oxon to rent a bedsit or studio flat in the worst part of town is £600-£700. I simply can't afford it.

Kent, £525 for a 3 bed social housing. Private rent for a similar 3 bed in same area is £975.

We rented in Essex a couple of years ago. 3 bed semi with a reasonable size garden was £1,300 a month. Think rental rates are similar, if slightly higher now

Private rent £695 pcm for a semi-detached 2 bed in a very rural location - West Midlands

we rent out a 3 bed ex council flat in Hackney for 2500 pcm.

Private rent, £650pm. 2 bed end terrace, no garden and 1 parking space. South West.

My parents rent out a studio flat for £750/month in southeast (commutable to London) and s 5 bedroom farm house in rural Dorset for £800/month

Small one bed flat just slightly out of Manchester CC (10 minutes on the tram to St Peters Sq). Paying £650.

One of poorest boroughs of London = 1600 for a v pokey 2 bed house.

I have a mortgage but my colleague at work rents. He tells me its £700pcm for a room in a nice shared house in a zone2/3 nice area in London.

North Yorkshire, around £550 to £600 for a 3 bed house.

I have been advised to rent out my zone 5/6 ex council 2 bed maisonette out for £1100-1200 per month.

For that amount we will Be able to rent a 3/4 bed semi/detached house further out in Essex.

Seaside resort in Somerset £425 for a one bedroom flat in town centre.

I don't rent but a 2 bedroom private rent here is about 750-800.
A council house of same size around 500.
I'm south England.
