£240 a month is super cheap. Or do you mean £240 a week?!
In the suburbs and small towns of the midlands, private let is about £600 to £725 per month for an ordinary semi, and maybe £450 to £525 for a 1 to 3 bed flat, and maybe a £800 to £1000 a month for a detached house.
Private rent in the city centres (of Birmingham, Leicester, Wolverhampton, Coventry) and so on is often 50% higher ...
Social housing is pretty much always semi or terraced, and is usually £350 to £550 a month. There is not much social housing in city centres.
You could probably find all this out on google though @quietmoon 😁😊
