And this place is currently tenanted for £200 LESS monthly rent than that little studio place with the bed platform!Dandie89 said:
Nobody wants to live in squalor but personally I would put up with staying at home or something a lot cheaper in order to save a 10% deposit on something like this https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/88379237 The mortgage would be half that rent and allow you to save again for your next step up. This rent simply makes no sense to me.Liz1966 said:Lovely flat on Marketplace https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/967871963918259/?ref=browse_tab&referral_code=marketplace_top_picks&referral_story_type=top_picks
Actually, as a home when you have your first job and either want to live away from your parents, or you need to, I think this studio flat will be good. The person living there won't have accumulated much stuff, probably can't afford big utility bills and it looks quite trendy. When I first left 'home' I was paying the equivalent of £500 per month (in today's money) for a room in a shared house complete with grimy threadbare carpets, shared bathroom and limited heating. I'd have much preferred that clean and new studio flat!

Looks okay from the outset but I'm not sure I could live with that sofa... or the kitchen colour.... and the very long person who stays in that bed... is that a rabbit enclosure in the bedroom?0 -
