Why aren't there Floorplans for rentals on Rightmove?

True. Cheapest in my neck of the woods is more like £800 / month for a studio.

London is mental.

I looked at some links Lynzpower sent and couldn't quite believe it :eek::eek:

The flat I'm currently renting is being advertised at the moment as I'm moving out: http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-to-rent/property-27080419.html?backListLink=/property-to-rent/map.html%3FlocationIdentifier%3DREGION%255E274%26insId%3D1%23_includeLetAgreed%3Don%26houseFlatShare%3Dfalse%26locationIdentifier%3DREGION%255E274%26previousSearchLocation%3DCambridge%26radius%3D0.0%26searchLocation%3DCambridge%26searchType%3DRENT%26useLocationIdentifier%3Dfalse%26box%3D0.12338,0.15209,52.20253,52.21458%26popupPropertyId%3D27080419%26mapType%3DMap&fromMap=true

You get lots of info on this house:

http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-to-rent/property-16278720.html

but it's £3,500 a week to rent.

A lot on this one, too, but £2,500 a week:

http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-to-rent/property-15003306.html

But you do get floorplans here on more basic 3 bed flats:

That middle one would feel like living in a big garden shed with all that panelling :eek:

£350/month .... which is why I don't actually have a flat at the moment... the robbin' barstewards all want more like £500-600. Local LHA is £470/month, so I don't stand a chance, unless I want to share a badly sub-divided house with bongo-playing druggies.

Well you might get a flat like that in some dodgy part of Dundee but in the rest of Scotland you'd need at least £400 for a studio flat...:D

I remember when they were going for £70,000 at the peak of the late 80s boom.... that's when I gave up thinking I'd ever own a place because mortgages then were 3x single salary and I was on about £14k.

But I'm not in Scotland am I.

The trouble is, LHA's made rents at the bottom of the market too pricey for single workers.

The rents are high here and I've lost count of the amount of outright dismissals I've had if you mention LHA top ups.

There was a flat I lived in where the lettings agents were happy with full HB (as was) because the place was so revolting they knew no one would pay actual money from their own pocket for it. I was on HB at the time after a very nasty relationship breakdown.

It was £560 for a 2 bed, more than £100 a month less than the going rate, had a 'bit of damp' that turned out to be mould that grew floor to ceiling on every external wall (and some fully internal walls), all over the carpets and up my furniture, if you put something away in a drawer for more than a week it would be mouldy _pale_

So the LHA wasn't entirely a bad thing, it stops children having to live in those conditions!

that's theoretically a £2.5 million grade 2 listed place - know what you mean, though!
