    What sort of extras? :undecided

    Do you mean like 'service charge' or whatever it is? :think:

    All I remember about the kitchen is it isn't massive! :rotfl:

    About enough room and cupboards for me I think. Good sized living room, although will be a squeeze to put a dinning table in there. But I'm happy eating off my lap. :p

    Good sized master bedroom. Easily enough room for my bits and it has an en suite. How posh. :)

    I like it. Gonna take me mum with me on the 2nd viewing coz she has got a good eye.


    Do you think the landlord will let me change the light fittings? :think:

    Master bedroom with ensuite??? How many bedrooms have you gone for???

    lol - really? 2 bed (I assume you are joking about the butler) why not one bed? - watch that council tax and those water rates.

    Of course I'm joking about the butler. He can find his own place to live. :)

    1 beds although were a bit cheaper, were also in crack holes. I think it's worth the extra money to enjoy where I live aswell.

    Yeah bloody council tax! :mad:

    Don't know what I'll pay for water but I'm budgetting £30 a month. I'm a shower rather than bath man so that will be cheaper. :think:

    Being ever so practical as I am is there a huge price difference between cost between 1 & 2 bed? If not are there are new style trendy places nearby cos thereyre bound to have nice, CHEAP 1 beds with luscious kitchens at knock down price due to current letting market...just a thoight! Sounds lovely thouh & fab idea to get mum to have a look - and no I'm not taking the p***!!

    Between £100-£150 a month with things I've seen. But like I said the problem is they aren't in areas I'd even consider. And that's not me being snobby. But I know !!!!!! holes when I see one! :rotfl:

    All the new builds tend to be 2 bed. Or at least one beds aren't on the market. But this one is still within my budget and I do really like it so am feeling a bit positive.

    It's cheaper and bigger than one I saw on Monday but not in as good as a location. But still prefer this one. :)
