you dont need a TV licence ?
so if im watching BBC1 i dont have to have a licence to watch it ?
are you pulling my chain, as im pretty sure you have to have one, otherwise your breaking the law?
thanks for that mate
even around here, cheapest rent is like £700 PCM for a 1 bedroom flat (ill have to double check Rightmove though)
Probably best to direct you to circle jerk thread in GD where people enjoy being chased for not having a licence, rather than just telling them they’re not watching live TV (and bet most actually do).

if you really want to watch BBC1 then you need one
you don't need one for say Netflix, Amazon Prime, Now TV etc..

Most buy to let mortgages specifically prohibit renting to family members.

Shocking prices you lot have down south for property, 700 or so notes a month up here will see you mortgage a nice detached bungalow.

I'm sure for 700 a month you could buy a street in some parts of the country. A workmate said to me "For that much I could get a 4 bed semi...In Bradford" Would I want to live in Bradford though, no. Bla Bla Bla, you can get a great house for 200k in XYZ. That's wonderful but XYZ is not a desirable place to live, I am looking to buy in city that is on the rise and hopefully property prices that do the same. If I stay there for a few years and decide I want to move out to the country then I can, maybe with a nice profit (as friends have done 5 years ago)

Thanks all for the replies
so i have found the answer (although i've not re-evaluated my prices) and it's a no. If i was to "rent" a place on my own around here (within 50 miles) I would be loosing money every month. So i guess i will have to stick at it until my help to buy isa is full in 5 years time THEN move (sounds like i need to move up North)

How do you spend that much?? I'm pretty tight my average food (including pop) is £10 a week with a £25 or so big shop every couple of months stock up on tins.
Not Heron Foods for sure!!
