Yeah, there are plenty of rough parts resembling Beirut in Aberdeen just like i suppose there are in any major UK city.
You get what you pay for, and for something decent around here its likely to cost you ITRO £750-850 for a 2bed flat.
Aberdeen is nothing special, but yet its rental market is incredibly strong as the landlords know the students and offshore workers will pay this kind of money.0 -
We pay £550 a month for a 2 bed flat in Portsmouth. No garden, one double bedroom and one single.0

*sigh* DH pays £400 pcm for a monday-friday room in Zone three.
Bonuses are no hassels and super landlady, great rail link to London Bridge.
Downsides are paying that little bit more for a zone three travel card that he only uses one most days (usually taxis home at night) and would ideally have been a little bit closer to work, but seriously nitpicking there.0 -

We pay under market rent, I think. By quite a lot!
*sigh*
am jealous. I LOVE Bloomsbury, it is by far my favourite part of this city. I work near Euston and am around there quite a lot with one thing and another near the Brunswick Centre and Coram's Fields. I know it's cheesy, but there's just such a lovely vibe round there, with the mix of people, and the parks and old buildings and all the history. Would be happy to live in a studio flat there with OH and us both walk to walk every day for the same we pay in Balham... unfortunately he doesn't feel the same way, and nor does all my stuff...0 -

Could he not rent closer in and save on the travel?...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 -
