Private Rental costs around the country

[Floopyfloop]

We have lived in private rentals for 25 as we have never managed to purchase.

The cost of rentals in our town absolutely beggars belief! I live in a town that is badly in need of redevelopment.

Using rightmove…. Tell me the nearest town to where you life and the cost to rent a mid quality 3 bedroom family house. (No fancy houses)

I am genuinely intrigued as to what the variance will be.

Also tell me if your town or city is a tourist area or dormitory town for a large city.

around £2000 pcm. Town in Kent, 35 miles from central London.

South West, tourist area but not actually on the coast, very little to rent but the 3 beds I can find are between £1250 and £2000! The £2k one is detached and has a large garden but otherwise isn't anything fancy. The others are very ordinary looking.

SE London zone 4/5 border.

There are two houses for rent with 3 beds within 2 miles of me.

£2,150 ex council semi in a rough area although looks nice enough inside

£3,250 Victorian terrace, nice enough area but right on the main road through the town.

That's been a bit of an eye opener.

Non-touristy Cornwall, only 2 available within 5 miles for £1000 and £1400. Both terraces in one of the most deprived places in Europe.

About £2400/month for a 3 bed semi / terrace in London suburbs (zone 5).

I am not going to shame an area mentioned on here but I only live about 10 miles from it and it is rough as anything so if houses cost that much to rent there it shows just how fucked the rental market is.

Where I live it’s 1200 upwards PCM for a 3 bed.

£1000-£1200 depending if it is new build or old terraced. Rural market down, area slightly touristy but not hugely. Affluent, rural East Mids.

There's only 4 for rent in the whole town, mid price is £1500.

Coastal town in the south west.

£1500-£1600 for a mid-market three bed house. 😬

Town in East Lothian.

Semi-rural north east (near Newcastle) good area £650 a month, not so good area £375. Newcastle itself £700-800 for somewhere you would actually want to live. Shocking considering the house you can rent for £650 can be bought for £120k.

Cardiff. Between 1200 and 1400 for a 3 bed. I've been paying 820 and have just bought a house in the Rhondda valley. I am very fortunate to have been able to do this and it was the rising rents that gave me the kick up the arse as I cannot afford a rent increase.

Town south of Birmingham, circa £1700 for a semi. £2400 if you want detached.

Ranges from 900 (area considered deprived) to 1500 (leafy suburbia but very ordinary house). South Wales.

£750 for a 3bed terrace in Merthyr Tydfil.

Just looked in Bristol and the range is from 1250 (again in a deprived area) to 6,900 for a three bedroom townhouse! Mind blown! When I lived in Bristol you could rent a three bed house in St Werburghs for 300 pm. I’m not that old!

£1200 3 bed detached

NW, not touristy, £1300

1 property within 1 mile, 5 within 3 (ranging from 700 to 3400)

East midlands. Around £900 - £1k

Industrial town in the Midlands (neither touristy not dormitory) you can get something reasonable for £900-1000pcm.

£1300 is the lowest near me on rightmove. Tourist area in the south east.

Zone 3 south-east London and a 3-bed house near us is £2,600-3,200 to rent depending on the street. It’s disgusting really.

None where I live so I expanded the search to three miles.

Highest price is £2,400 in a nice area.
Lowest price is £840 in an awful area.

NW

about £800 if you want a semi with garden
about £550 for a terraced

Zone 3 north london. There are no 3 bed house rentals in my area on Rightmove. There is a 4 bed house available a mile away for 3,500 per month.

How much do you rent your ten BTL's for ?
