Cost to rent 2 bed bungalow?

[Hedjwitch]

What would this cost round your way? Rural location,large garden,2 beds,lounge with wood burner,new kitchen,bathroom. Unfurnished.

We pay £1400 in rural sussex, ours hadn't been updated since 1980s though. We also have a detached garage and off street parking. Garden on four sides.

Wow. So the £850 being asked seems a good deal now

Probably about £2k around here. £850 sounds like a bargain!

Massively depends on location. Round here (Home Counties) probs £1.8k-ish. A friends parents rent one up north that's similar and pay £700!

About £1100-1200 here

We was £500 a month but arse end of Scotland

£850 sounds good to rent anything to me, that's what we were paying 8 years ago for a tiny one bed house. It will hugely depend on where in the country you are.

I've had a look for what you describe and the closest I can find is £2500 pcm. There's very few bungalows to rent around here though and most look in very poor condition.

Home county - £2k min, probably more due to new kitchen etc. No kids, pets or housing allowed 😛

Depends entirely on location! We have old terraced cottage (early 18th century). 3 bed, log burner. Garden front and back, lots of outhouses and outside space. Very tiny hamlet, no shops or amenities. £900 a month, Lincolnshire.

£1400 semi rural South West

Thank you all. Yes,obviously location is one of the main factors but I'm out of touch with prices and DD is looking at this property. It is rural Scotland so nothing like SE prices thank God. Some of the amounts given are horrendous!

Gloucestershire. Just had a look on rightmove, the most rural two bed bungalows I can find are £1450, £1350, £1600 and £2k a month.

I'd wonder why it was so low at £850, but if she's happy with it, then that's great.

How long is a piece of string? As well as location, the cost to run, local competition, state of decor/garden etc will affect the price.

What else is available to rent in that location for £850 is what she should be asking.

It might 'look like a good deal' compared with properties in more expensive parts of the country, but not if it's really shabby, costs a fortune to heat, doesn't have mains gas, is miles from anywhere. Likewise if other properties in the vicinity cost £600 for something comparable, or there's other nicer options for the same price. That's what she should be thinking about.

Rural Scotland can vary massively too, but round my way you'd be lucky to find anything meeting that description at any price, they don't come up very often. Currently I can only find 2 beds on rightmove in towns, and they mostly cost more than that.

It's immaculate inside and garden well tended,but agree energy rating might be something to look out for. Thanks everyone

Peak District probably between £700 and £1200 depending on how attractive it is and which specific village.

£850pcm would rent you a room in a house here. South West

Would be a minimum of £1500 with even a small garden here, if rooms are larger and it's well presented add an extra £500, we aren't even SE bungalows are sought after

My uni student DCs are paying £625+/month for a room in a (fairly grotty) shared house in different parts of England. £850 for a whole, decent property sounds amazing!
