Just out of simple curiosity really, and to see how our rent compares with other parts of the country.

I’ll go first. We pay £700 a month for a privately rented three bedroom flat in East Anglia. That’s actually relatively cheap for a three bed (most go for around £800/£900 here) but that’s probably because the third bedroom is tiny.

£1400 for a 3 bed in west London. The 3rd room is tiny! Just fits a cot! It’s very cheap for this area.. normally would be £1600-1700

We don’t rent any more but our last rented place was a one bed flat for £900 a month and that was cheap, in Hertfordshire.

£680 per month. 3 bed semi in a very expensive and very desirable part of Leeds.

We pay massively under market value however, the rent should be about £1k but I know the landlord personally and he's happy to let me have it for less.

We last paid rent in 2014 - £1000 for a damp three bed semi with woodchip paper. Our next door neighbours (identical house) are paying £1600 for a 3/4 bed (using dining room as no 4) Victorian semi. Our mortgage payments are less than half that.

Rainbowknickers · 10/08/2019 21:45

£350 a month but if we rented from another landlord we’d be paying double for a smaller property
We have a 3 bed in the midlands-my in laws are our landlord
We priced up one bed flats and they where about double what we pay them
