Just to make me feel better (or worse)! We are having to move (landlord selling) and will be going from paying £1300 to £1800 a month!
Bog standard, single bathroom, single reception room semi with on street parking as opposed to current property with garage, drive, en-suite and two reception rooms.
Absolutely nothing else cheaper. Any property advertised slightly cheaper is offered for more.
We are in a deprived, south eastern town with a large proportion of council housing which is now 50% privately owned.
Majority of salaries seem to be around £22-£25k.
Max housing benefit for a 3 bed is £1000 a month!
We’re not eligible for housing benefit/UC as we both work.
No holidays, new clothes, treats, or heating on and cheap beige food for us from now on so we can pay off landlord’s mortgage.
What a life.
