If it's Brighton of somewhere similar you can invite the hot men but you won't be on to a winner .... unless htey let you watch I guess

Well, these are the figures, etc:
Current: £350 for a small studio, can't see if it's sunny outside, nothing to look at outside, not being able to see the sun makes me not open the curtains most days. 2am, fancy a cig, I get reasonably dressed and creep outside and crouch down beside the road pavement, where drunks and weirdos potentially pass.

Potential new: £575 for a 1-bed shiny new flat right on a beach with french doors onto a large balcony overlooking the beach. If I can get the sunny side (bet those beggars are pricier) then it'd mean throwing open the french windows and looking down onto the beach and out to sea, with the sun flooding in. 2am, fancy a cig, I'd step out onto my private balcony in my jim jams and smoke.

Overall, it'd probably cost me £250/month more than where I am now , but quality of life would be better. So £3000/year, which would mean I'd have to up my income by about a further £5k to pay for it.

It's annoying interest rates dropped or that'd have paid for it all.

Studios suck - especially if you cook in your bedroom.
The shiny ones will have the advantage of the better class of tenant you'll have around you - probably (although you may be cursed and get the only bad tenant on the development next door - you do seem prone)

It's not Brighton. A lot of the South coast is cheaper, with more places available that are bigger/better (especially reading to SouthCoast's description of their place), but the south coast isn't quite where I want/need to be for the next 12 months.

Why the frak cant you smoke in your own house?
That's a silly way to live.

A lot of people pay £1k to do this 1 week a year - you spend a lot of time in your flat and you are a smoker so that's part of your lifestyle
