How much do people pay on rent each month

[Gin96]

After the thread on how much is your mortgage, just wondered what everyone pays on rent each month and which area?

@mummyofdaughters Christ almighty!!! That's a lot of money 😱

£94.06 I think (dh pays it and it's recently gone down by about a pound). Housing Association 3 bed semi with large garden in a decentish area on a mixed ownership estate in an ex-mining village in Yorkshire.

540 pcm, two bedroom apartment with own entrance, small back garden and parking for two cars off street. 30 minute walk from city centre and 15 minute bus. Belfast. Grew up in south of England (to Irish parents) and the cost of living here is so much more manageable.

@keptthebeaches surely that’s weekly?

SW, 2b fff £380 pcm (HA) although it’s a bit galling that they rent out their three bed houses for a mere £3-5 a week more but heyho, beggars can’t be choosers and I always thank my lucky stars I wasn’t at the mercy of housing in London where you could be on the housing list 15 years and end up 27 floors up in a tower lock with no outside space!

@makingmiracles yes sorry, it's weekly! I always think of it weekly because we are charged and pay for it each week!

£840 in Hampshire and it will rise again in June nearly six years ago we started off at £750 in the same house

£1400 2 bed flat, south west London

£320 month 2 bedroom house with gardens.

£995. Two bed house (tiny), Surrey/Hants borders.

3 double bed house with attic room suitable for use as study/playroom bur not bedroom; 2 receptions, downstairs cloakroom, utility room; shared courtyard rear space, use of a barn for storage. Located 1/2 from nearest city but semi rural small market town. Pay £685pcm

South East, 1 bed flat, top floor.
£500pm

£2750 for 2 bedroom zone 1

What IS the point of this thread? It proves that people pay different amounts of rent depending on the size and location of what they're renting. If you were a little bit dim and didn't know this you could rapidly discover it from Rightmove!

I'm finding this thread fascinating, seeing the vastly different amounts of rent that other people pay and doing the mental arithmetic of how much we could improve our disposable income by moving to other parts of the country!

Also, I'm just a rather nosy person

I pay £250 a month for two bed semi detached house with garden and garage in NE, but I rent from my parents. We're about 10 minutes from the city center. Next door (same footprint but dated decor) is rented privately for £650 a month. I know we are very lucky!

£500 for a 3 bedroom ground floor flat in Merseyside.

Can i add.. mine comes with two big gardens too... yes I know I'm lucky

AUD$3050 (£1670/month) for a 2 bedroom apartment in Sydney's eastern suburbs.

@Ce7913 I've heard Sydney and Melbourne are super expensive too! At least you get sunshine though

$7000 pcm four bed house East coast USA

£360 every 4 weeks, 3 bed with fairly large garden. HA property but it's not that much lower than market in my village, we don't even have a shop and crappy public transport so no one wants to live there!

£600 for a 2 bed victorian conversion in zone 4, London (HA). Very dated internally but it's in a very nice leafy private street so I am very lucky.

2 bed council house, tiny kitchen and bathroom, decent size back garden, not in England, full rent (and rates), about £350 per month. My sister inherited a relatives house, lives half a mile away, and her home owner rates are about £600 a year (about £500 more a year than my rates).

£700 pcm - tiny 3 bed house but backing onto a park and in a lovely village in S Wales. We pay for the loacation...the rent would be nearly halved on the other side of town.

I pay £1400 pcm for a one bed flat in South West London for 3 of us. Our DD has the bedroom and we sleep in the sitting room. It is a lovely flat and I thought it was fairly good value until I read this thread!
