Hi, I was speaking to a guy at work yesterday,who has recently moved from central London to up North. I was absolutely flabbergasted to hear that he had been paying £135 a week for a one room flat/apartment.

I live in a studio apartment. Happens to be in a converted Edwardian mansion, in its own grounds, tree lined driveway, no other houses for two miles either way. My windows overlook the canal. A beautiful, tranquil setting.

It costs me £250 pcm rent. Even came furnished with a bed, settee, dining table, chairs, fitted wardrobes and occasional furniture. Plus a six foot floor standing tropical fish tank that the previous tenant left.

There is no gas, so I don't pay gas bills. Some may tut tut,. But since I moved in two years ago I have not had an electric bill, think my landlord is paying for it, but too late to say anything now.

My only other home bills are water, £12 a month and council tax, £68 a month.

I know I am blessed.

How expensive is your house/flat?

A hell of a lot more than that

But then we’re south east England, 3 bed semi with a family of 4.

If this thread doesn’t descend into chaos, it’ll give us a great insight into regional variations of the cost of living, which will actually be really interesting

"I'd put some money aside for that electric bill if I were you,just incase they come knocking for it."

Wouldn’t that depend on who’s name on the electric supplies contract and what the tenancy agreement says.

I used to pay 400 a month all bills inclusive including a window cleaner for a one bedroom flat in a converted large house with a jacuzzi corner bath.

$135 a week for a one bed flat in London??? Sounds cheap! Out in the London suburbs it's usually about $150 a week for a bedsit....

The average rental cost is about £800 pcm for a one bed flat in this area. Before I bought my new house and in between selling old one and moving into the new one, I rented a house. That cost me £1,450 pcm.

You are very lucky!

My mortgage is a fair bit more than that but I know I wouldn't have been able to get what I have now down South (semi-detached, three bedroom, large garden, Victorian house).

After water, council tax, g and e and mortgage (including overpayments to be fair) it's around the best part of a grand gone.

An identical house to ours a few doors up the road was recently rented out. It's a 3 bed semi, garden, garage, drive etc. They are getting £700 per month which is much higher than our mortgage!

As for other costs, £124 gas and electric this month, £14 water, £120 council tax.

I think our living costs are pretty good. Especially the electric and water as we have a hot tub

Prices by me are ridiculous. They just keep going up and people seem to be able to ask what they want for their houses when they sell them and they sell quickly.

My council tax is £211, mortgage is over £1000.

Living in York is fairly expensive. We also have dogs, which limits our choice of rentals and also means we have to rent a place big enough for them to be comfortable. Leeds was cheaper, but I'd rather pay more and live in York because it's awesome.

It’s something I’ve been researching

You won’t really get anything below £600 pcm in Exeter and below £800 is looking at places that are not the best

South West Water is excruciating - £56 a month at the mo and we are on a metre

I’ve no idea how the council tax compares and always shop around for gas and electric anyway

I totally agree with this. I've had an eight year battle with the property managers of my flat. They capitulated last year and we're now paying about £800 a year in service charges rather than the £1200 they were trying to charge us. I'll sell it next year just to get rid of any future potential hassle.

I should have said leasehold flat.

I'm paying approx £1,200 for 2017. Any week now I'm due to get the service charge for 2018 through, and it will increase again. All their associated fees are a joke. I need to move, but, it's not straightforward due to work, family etc.

Two MP's we're discussing in Parliament at the end of last year that something has to be done. The whole industry is unregulated.

It makes me laugh when you've got the Government/media/press banging on about the cost of living with capping energy prices. That's a drop in the ocean compared to having to pay a service charge.

They never mention it.

I live near Brighton - it's often known as London-by-Sea because of the cost of housing. I'm lucky in that I bought my house 13 years ago so am just working thru my mortgage, but rental costs are ridiculous - a small 3 bed family house is over a grand in rent per month round here. I don't know how people are ever supposed to get onto the property ladder when the cost of renting and living is so high, people just can't save, and you need a hefty deposit nowadays to buy anything.

Bedworth

This thread reminds me of my ex husbands parents.

35 years ago they were living in a small 2 bed flat in London. They had one son, a daughter and another baby in the way. They decided that they just couldn’t afford to buy a bigger property in London and stuck a pin in a map of the uk. It landed on Boston, Lincolnshire so they sold up, upped sticks and moved. They bought a 3 bedroom house, huge garden and lived mortgage free thanks to how much they sold their pokey little flat in London for.

Location really does make a huge difference.

My son & DIL bought a house this year, after years of renting.

They knew a mortgage on a 2 bed house would be far less than what they were paying for a teeny studio fast, but the deposit was what had previously prevented them.

My dad left him a large amount of money when he died, only reason they managed it in the end.

It's sad that hard working young people today, with great careers & earnings are trapped into the high priced rental market & only sonething tragic can alter that situation

Good idea.

In our part of Germany a decent 2 bedroom flat will cost between 400 and 500€ pcm plus bills although prices are much higher in some of the bigger cities.

Where we have our house in Spain the same money would get you a very nice flat or a good sized townhouse. Most come with community pool.

Crikey.. are the wages higher to compensate? Feck I did 27 hours overtime last week. An extra £500 before tax on top of my wage. That's before the rest of my overtime for previous weeks.

I don't live in a dump, the location is rural, next to the canal and a nature reserve.

My only complaint is.. although silly, is that there are no local shops, a half hour walk to nearest one.

But on the upside, no gangs, no kids causing havoc, no parking problems. And waking to the sound of birds in the trees, outside my window every morning, or the gardener cutting the communal lawn.

I could not ask for more.

It's a relatively small flat, but it is my sanctuary.

And to top it off, my local pub is a Sam Smith's pub, a fifteen minute walk, but right next to the canal. Good home cooked food and a pint of Sam Smith's bitter is £2.00. And a pint of Sam Smith's lager is £2.30. Both lovely drinks btw.

Check out "The Collier's Arms Pub Elland" on Google or Facebook. The pub was devastated by the floods Xmas 2015, but has since been refitted...

Video of floods in Elland. Luckily enough I live on higher ground, so was not affected.
