    true, but i wont get anything cheaper in the city centre at the moment for the same size property.

    the place concerned is brindley house,newhall street.

    this is not my flat, but one exactly the same, a saving of £245 a month!

    Looks like a 2 bed, picture 4 is the main bedroom, picture 5 is the second bedroom. If you choose to use the rooms for a different purpose that is up to you.

    Is this a new build or a sixties towerblock dressed in trim?

    I'd not call that dirt cheap! Unless it's for a couple.

    It's Birmingham, I have a friend in a posh bit that rents a house with: 2 beds, attic bedroom, converted cellar, good sized back garden for that much!

    which area ? im quite new to birmingham.

    I looked it up, 8 miles North East of your flat.

    I am not used to people living "in" a town, or even "in" a city. I come from the countryside. I've never known anybody who lived "in" a town/city.
