Glasgow West End:
1 room: dunno
1 bed: ~£600
3 bed: ~£1500

Caveats: 1 mile radius covers a huge range of areas so went 1/4 mile instead. Also there’s almost no houses in the wider area so the 3 bed price is for a flat.

Leytonstone (Zone 3, radius set to within 0.5 miles of the Central line station and the Overground station)

Room in a house share - £600/m
1 Bed flat - £1100/m
2 Bed flat - £1400/m
3 Bed flat - £1600/m
3 bed house - £1750/m

:woozy_face: its not a posh part of town, could conceivably be described as gentrifying

Woodford

One bed in shared anywhere from £550 to £800 plus

One bed - circa £1000

Two bed - £1250+

It can massively vary though - If you’re prepared to live in Patcham, Coldean or Bevendean you can pay a lot less

I reckon £1500 is probably more accurate

Yeah, we didn’t manage to find anything comparable to the two bed place we were renting that was less than about £1400, but we were being a bit picky because that place was a good size and location (albeit in pretty poor condition).

I’m talking from a ridiculously small sample of “people I know who’ve also told me how much rent they pay”

Scary figures in this thread. The world’s fucked.

Caterham (Zone 6, but not in a London Borough)

Room £600
1 bed flat £850
3 bed house £1400

Cardiff (up itself bit of the centre of the city) -

Room - £400 pcm
1-bed - £750 pcm
3-bed - £1300 pcm

This is just around my area, and I am lucky to say that we’ve been renting for five years at substantially lower than market value thanks to our landlord being pretty hands-off and us agreeing to longer rental terms.

I kept the geography pretty tight on these averages because Cardiff has quite extreme variation (like most places) and I wanted to give a representative figure for near me.

This as well for Tunbridge Wells, although room is more like £500 probably (not in Zone Anything)

A room f£600
A one bed flat £1,100
A Three Bed House £1,800 - £2,000

Is that %ages of your take home? My numbers are warped because the mortgage comes out of my account while my other half only worked part time and covered childcare costs.

Tunbridge Wells is far nicer it’s just the easier links to London that pushes Caterham up.

We paid 575 for a 1 bed flat in the city centre. Probably similar for a 3 bed further out. 300 maybe for a room in a share

Sheffield

Enfield (zone 5)

Room: £5 - 600
One bed flat: £1000 - 1100
Three Bed House: £1600

Edinburgh is one of those places where it costs less pm to buy than rent. If I could get a job there and move back in with my girlfriend, if I paid half the mortgage it’d be… about 10% of my takehome. I’d be absolutely coining it in…
