Well, we are considering cheaper, but also similar price to current. So anywhere from £1100 to £1500.
In my previous searches, I had capped the max monthly to £1500, and was curious how much more would open up if I went up to 1750. The answer - not much!
£1500 p/m is basically the cost of a mortgage on a house costing £400k with a 10% deposit.
As an example in Newcastle, that kind of price range opens options in the city centre, and two really nice suburbs. All easy commuting distance to the city centre.

I can't wrap my head around why people pay such extortionate rents for London. Especially now it's been demonstrated that most professional high paying jobs can be done remotely.
