Just wondering how different rent is around the country (obviously massive in London!)
I have a one bed property, no garden, allocated parking for £650
Moving soon to another one bed with parking and a garden, again £650
Both on the South coast

I don't rent, I own (thank goodness), but rents up here in Aberdeen for a reasonable enough place in a decent area are as follows:
1 bed flat £600 pm
2 bed flat £850 pm
3 bed flat/terrace £1000 - £1250 pm
4/5 bed houses £1300 to £2500 pm
You can obviously pay more for nicer places, or less for a dump/bad area, but that's for what most people would consider decent.
If you're willing to accept a 45-60 minute commute, rents drop by up to 50%. But then there's the cost of commuting...“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

I've rented 3 places:
2 bedroom 1 bathroom apartment in a town centre location in Stafford (20 miles from Birmingham), apartment was around 500 square feet and the rent was £550/month.
2 bedroom 2 bathroom apartment in Hove, 1 mile from the centre of Brighton, exceptional building and the rent is £1500/month -- I'm currently renting this until my tenancy ends in June.
5 bedroom 4 bathroom house about 1 mile from the town centre, over 2000 square feet also in Stafford for £950 per month -- just started the tenancy in this house.
Location seems to be everything.0 -

Is it nice? private let? very cheap!0 -
It's as nice as can be expected for the rent I pay. Local HA stock, furthest fringes of Glasgow to the north, a suburb with all the essentials (local shopping centre, cinema, doctors/dentists etc.
Big enough for me, two cats and a goldfish but not big enough to accommodate my boyfriend too. I'm hoping to get out of here as soon as I can once I'm debt free (end of April) and start afresh in a 3 bed flat in the city.Debt free since 2014 - now saving for a mortgage deposit :heart2:

I live in central London. Here a studio is £750 to £1,100 a month, a 1 bed (no garden, no parking) is about £1,200 to £1,600 a month, a 2 bed (no garden, no parking) is about £1,500 to £2,000 a month and a 3 bed (no garden, no parking) is about £2,750 a month or more.
For a house, you can pay £8k a month upwards....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

Yep, when I met my OH he was renting a box room in a shared house and I remember everyone saying how lucky he was as it was £450 per month, not including council tax, bills, tv license etc.
Our last rented place was one bedroom, around £1,100 a month. and it was the cheapest we could find after looking for months. We redecorated it too as it was so shabby.Misc debts - £5,000 | Student loan - £9,000 | Mortgage - £180,000

I live in a small NW town near Preston, and we pay £595 a month.
That's for a 2.5-bed house (two double bedrooms, one that's too small for a bed and is used as an office), in the most sought-after, luxurious neighbourhood, with a large enclosed garden, private garage and driveway for up to three cars.0
