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.

Your rent is quite reasonable, op. Good for you. Norfolk is lovely too.

I don't pay rent, I'm old and my house is paid for :-), but my son rents a tiny house for just over £12,000 per month, Greater London (a London borough). It suits him well at the moment as he is on his own but that may change and he intends to buy a house, or at least set the ball rolling, by the end of this year. He'll probably have to move out a bit further though.

£474.00. 3 bed terraced house in one of the nicer parts of the Midlands.

I am HA though. The same house on private rent is nearer £700-£795.

Equivalent of 2,200 a month for a 3 bedroom house, plus playroom and maids room. It’s a gated community with a gorgeous park and huge swimming pool. In the Middle East.

BritWifeinUSA · 11/08/2019 04:42

Left the UK in 2016 and was paying 400 a month for a room in a shared house on the south coast after I sold my house whilst I waited for my immigration paperwork to be done. I didn’t even have my own bathroom.

I paid £525 for a two bed modern terrace in a popular area of Nottingham. Could have got £650-700 but landlady wanted to keep
Me sweet. I bought it last week for slightly under market value.

Omega369 · 11/08/2019 06:48

£1850 for a 2 bed flat with 2 bathrooms and a large balcony in east London (zone 2). It's a good deal as it overlooks the canal and was brand new when we moved in.

£650 per month for a 2 bedroom flat in Cornwall

Chocolatedaim · 11/08/2019 07:19

Christ I don’t even want to say- £1771 pcm for a 2bed in NE London, newly decorated, unfurnished, no bills inc. We first moved in 5yrs ago when rent was around £1350, it’s increased massively over the years. We are close to a station (which we don’t use as we work from home!) and lots of good schools...

TheWildAndTheCurious · 11/08/2019 07:38

£500 pcm East Midlands, 2 bed terraced house close to city centre, with a smallish walled garden and off road parking. But we know our landlady very well and have been here over 10 years. We should probably be paying a bit more as we had a new kitchen, bathroom and windows installed for us a few years ago. Average price round here for the same property in varying condition is between £500-£700.

Smilebehappy123 · 11/08/2019 09:37

Chocolate daim that’s 81, 000 you have handed over to your landlord , just why ???? Surely the sensible option would be rent a little cheaper and get on the property ladder
I’m flabbergasted that anybody would pay that much out in rent it’s crazy .
