How much rent?

[MidnightBloom]

Me and dh were just talking about how much private rent is these days. I was shocked when dh said private rents for a three bedroom house would be around £500 per month uk wide

How much is private rents roughly in your rough area (put this because I understand people don't want to say there location)

Am I being unreasonable to say private rent for a 3 bed would be around 1k uk wide?

You are not being unreasonable your dh is right.

It’s about £2500 around here. London/Kent suburb.🤷‍♀️

I'm in the SE, on the coast. A single room in a house share starts from £600 pm.

I'm in NW London and it's about 4-6k + for a decent 3 bed.

Does he know he’s an idiot or? 😂

It's about £1,500 pcm for a 2 bed here in outer London!

I was paying £1250 /month for a one bed flat in zone 3 in London 12 years ago! The flat itself was concrete construction and ex-council, but in a really nice area.

£1409 for a two bed bungalow

My friend just per her 3 bed small end terrace new build up for rent in a shit hole of an area for £1650 a month!

The house next door to me was about £2k years ago when the family moved in. Family friends have just moved and are paying around £2.5k.
It's awful - impossible to save for deposit etc and pay this much rent. People must be really struggling.

The monthly rent for my area in the UK would be around £2,500.

That’s his first problem. A decade ago I paid over £600 for a room in a flat in London Zone 2. Dread to think what the cost would be now.

On the south coast.

800 for a en-suite bedroom in a shared house. 1600 -1700 for a small three bedroom house.

It's madness.

I became homeless when I divorced on £35000 a year salary. In Brighton I couldn't rent anywhere I wanted to live at one beds were about £1400 before bills. Moved into air BnB at £65 a night till I found a house share for £800 a month that didn't need a deposit and 30x month rent annual salary. This was over a decade ago.

I think a lot of people don't realise how much the rent crisis has affected the whole country, not just London or areas where there are high paying jobs.

Cheapest 3 bed in Salford where I'm from, type of house you'd see on the Corrie intro -red terrace straight onto the street, backyard onto an alley - is £1150pcm. Most are more.

Where I live now, an unremarkable northern town an hour from Manchester where a lot of the local work is still factory work, cheapest 2 bed is £950 if you're lucky, and a 3 bed terrace would be £1250. That would still be two bed and box, no driveway or front garden. If you want a typical modern semi it would be £1400pcm minimum.

I saw an article in the Manchester paper about affordability of minimum wage, and the cheapest houses to rent they found within greater Manchester (so including fairly impoverished places like Oldham, Rochdale etc, not just places close to the city) were £750+ and they were on the outskirts in places like Bolton, anything that was an affordable commute to the city centre was a lot more.

Where I am a 2 bed flat is £1400 a month

Also if he were to look on right move, he might think you can get a Salford house for £600-800pcm.
If you actually click into the adverts, that's what they're charging for rooms in HMO student house shares. Not refurbed houseshares or fancy flats, just £600-800 to rent a room in a Salford terrace. It's awful.

The answer would be readily available on Rightmove of course!

£1000 for a one bed roomed flat (London)

I was quoted 1200pm for a 3 bed detached in a medium priced area yesterday.

East midlands and it would be around £900- £1k per month for a three bed.

I had a 4 bed semi detached south east for £2200. Now in a 5 bed £2850. But it is much larger.

The whole student house is appalling too. Dd is looking for a 2nd year house ans they almost took one - it was 190 a week each plus bills in a corrie esque 2 bed, with the front room turned into another tiny bedroom, tiny bathroom off the kitchen and with a 450 deposit each. It's shit

The four properties available for rent in my immediate area (small Derbyshire town) are between £900 and £1350

3 bed house where I live anything from 1600 - 2k plus

1bed flat 1k -1400 depending on area
2bed flat 1500 -2 k plus depending on the area

my son and his partner have a lodger who is paying 700 a month for a large double room in a really gorgeous house

Room share / HMO anything from 500 -900

DD Sussex, victorian terrace,on the road, barely a back yard,£1400, single glazed, old and cold.
