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.

£1850 for a two bed flat in Zone 2, London. That’s over half of my monthly take home pay.

£900 2 bed council flat in zone 2 London

SinglePringle · 10/08/2019 21:57

£900 for a two bed flat with balcony in NW London. In a really pretty and private estate. Been here 10 years and I know it’s a good deal. Could do with modernising however...

Emptyspacex · 10/08/2019 21:58

£1250 - 4 bed in Bristol

SachaStark · 10/08/2019 21:59

£600 for a three bed semi in Cornwall. It’s cheap for the area because we rent privately from a friend.

Acidrain · 10/08/2019 22:00

We pay £550 for a private rented 3bed semi just outside the lake district.
I know we are quite lucky!

Camomila · 10/08/2019 22:00

EnthusiasmIsDisturbed · 10/08/2019 22:03

1400 for 2 bed in SE London

Having to move further out just can’t afford it anymore more (on my own with ds)

AuntieMarys · 10/08/2019 22:05

3 years ago I was paying £2300 for a tiny 3 bed terraced in SW London

SarahAndQuack · 10/08/2019 22:05

600 for a 3 bed in North Yorkshire. It's big bedrooms and a huge garden but very rural and was in very bad repair when we moved in, so the price is quite low. We moved from Cambridge where we paid more than twice that for a two-bed house, and were alternating between amusement and bewilderment when the lettings agency were doubtful we could afford the rent!

CoolWivesClub2019 · 10/08/2019 22:07

£850 for a large detached 3 bed in the Gower (Swansea) - 3 double bedrooms, 3 reception rooms, driveway, garage.

Just gone up. £1800 2 bed, London.

applesandacorns · 10/08/2019 22:11

£995 for a 1 bed flat in West London... Believe it or not, it's a steal price.

Rememberallball · 10/08/2019 22:14

£685pcm for a spacious 3 double bed, 2 reception, 2 bathroom house in a small former market town in the South West. Previous rental was a 1 bed in Surrey that was £720pcm but that was a key worker property and below market rate.

Zebraaa · 10/08/2019 22:19

£450 for 1 bedroom in a house share in Bournemouth 😩

BlessedBeTheFruitCake · 10/08/2019 22:52

£1050, 4 bed detached house in East Anglia, more than we'd want to spend ideally but rental properties are like gold dust so they can charge what they want sadly.
