How much is your rent?

regulus · 2 Dec 2008 at 11:16

Simple question. What do you pay in rent on your flat/house every month? I'm in the market for a place to rent but want to get a general idea what people pay each month. Also mention the general area where you live. If you feel uncomfortable telling where you live for fear of an OCUK'er coming for you in the depth of night, only mention the region. Thanks.

My last place was about £370 pcm for a largish bedroom with ensuite shower room in a new build - Cambridge

£625, for a 1.5 bed flat (study) in the Northern Quarter, Manchester. Was on the market for £675 but I knocked them down. Still too much for a £130-160k flat imho.

Fantastic area, so the fact it's overpriced is a bit of a minutia. Well, geographically convenient is what I meant by fantastic, I can be in a shop in 2mins, work within 15mins by foot, train station within 10... etc.
