Probably worth making it clear that all these people are quoting their rent for a room. When you factor that in, most of these rents are not good deals. London rental market is astronomically high
I find it very hard to believe that these people pay so little in central London. Only explanation I can come up with is that these places are very small and/or not updated. I live in Chelsea and just pay over £6,000 per month for a 3 bed, 2.5 bathrooms place that’s neither big nor super modern. This doesn’t include utilities or council taxes.
How the hell can these people pay this low in rent ? i've not been able to find anything better than a shitbox while the budget is a bit over 1800 quids pcm.
I lived in an ensuite with a shared kitchen at Islington for 920 a month. It was a student dorm but still a lot more expensive than anything here unless theirs were rooms rather than apartments
Obviously besides the people with mortgages, these are all shared flats or houses - £700 per month per person sharing with x4 others = £2,800 for the flat (likely to be quite crummy flat as well). I paid £675 for a 1-bed flat in Welwyn Garden City until 2021 and you don't even find those anymore!
Oh my sister works for BOE threadneedle Street she is an analyst for them earnings a very large salary. She rents in Hackney East London, 1 bedroom flat beautiful over looking London fields. Her rent a week is £68.00, when she moved in 2012 the rent was £42.50 a week. You just need to have the right connections to get these cheap but very nice properties ❤
I live in zone 1 Westminster and I pay £500 a month for a 1 bedroom flat with my own bedroom living room etc . But I live in a council flat i inherited from my parents .
these must be shared, i.e. only their portion of the rent (except for the guy who bought 30 years ago). They must be living in absolute shoeboxes for £600-800/month in central london.
Well, that's not including the utility and council tax I have to pay. Currently council tax is just under £100 p/m and utility I think is around £230-£260 p/m so all in all, around £800 per month. That's just for the big 3. I haven't included the smaller cost like mobile, broadband, tv license and food etc.
Rent in London is not bad at all, especially if you don't choose an area that's known for being trendy or expensive, for example i just looked up a 1 bedroom flat in Mitcham and there was one for £750 a month and one for £600 a month, there were other more expensive properties but those two were available as of right now. A lot of the people from outside of London that move here are more interested in Shoreditch than Mitcham and are looking to stay in or near a known place.
@@andrewsa3195 Virtually everyone in your video and most of your comment section are talking about Greater London by your definition. It basically confirms what I’m saying in that people don’t know London and end up paying stupid prices. Like Balham, Tooting, Mit ham, Streatham, Wimbledon are all London but you’d be like “ scoff they’re Greater London”” rather than just go “yeah Mitcham is a great option right next to Wimbledon with great transport links”.
@@tribalisnt Not my video. Mitcham isn't part of London and it's unfair to compare rents between London and Greater London, they are different areas. Mitcham has no tube, so of course it will be cheaper to live than say Clapham for example.
@@andrewsa3195 Sorry my bad about the video misunderstanding, anyways 1/2 of Mitcham is a 5 minute walk from Tooting Broadway station and would be considered zone 3 so again it's about knowledge. Clapham is a broad area and you would rather live in Mitcham than Clapham North for example, Clapham Junction has always been quite high crime where as Common and South are fine. But even then Clapham is considered 'Greater London" too. Balham and Wandsworth Common cost an arm and a leg but Tooting & Mitcham are cheaper when it's all the same area.
"What zone are you in?" "East". I assume she is at UEL, I.e. one of the worst universities in the UK 😅 Doesn't even know what a London zone is, my god.
The way they answered was misleading. All the rents mentioned was for a single room, not the whole place. I live in a 2 bed flat (zone 2) and it costs me 2200 a month.
I am currently living in an 800£ matchbox apartment, and was considering moving to a 1500£ apartment. Thanks to these people I’ll be abandoning that plan immediately.
Thank you all for watching! & was anyone else surprised by how much rent these people were paying?!!
Absolutely this is per room rent
Checking prices on the right move and for £600, you get a room of a size of a wardrobe with mold everywhere.
Iknow bro it’s crazy!
They don’t clarify things,
Any price they say under £1200 is likely a shared apartment/house.
So it’s misleading
I guarantee they live in shared flats and the rent they mention is only for a room that can call their own.
Yeh almost flat share 👌
It has to be!
Probably worth making it clear that all these people are quoting their rent for a room. When you factor that in, most of these rents are not good deals. London rental market is astronomically high
Yeh rent for the room + front room kitchen etc!
I was expecting wayy more expensive rents ! Good for them. Imma need that mic. The sound quality is 🤌🏽
My girlfriend and I pay £825 each for a small 1 bed apt (heating and hot water included) in Hammersmith… where are these people finding these places 🙃
Yo HONESTLY! The people in this video had crazy good deals😂😂
Yeah me and my partner is 1400 just rent, together. These are either pyramid method or they defo got some favours. Those prices don’t exist in London.
In which area you are living ??
In London it's easy to afford rent because wages are also increased here ???
Wow! I pay £800 for a 1 bed flat in Fulham (plus counciltax, bills, internet)
This is crazy, £1k for a room seems acceptable somehow -where did these people find their landlords?! Wish they showed pics too
I think a lot was friends / spare room! :)

They will almost all live in 4 bedroom flats with the living room being another bedroom in an outdated property
Very interesting video as despite media reports it's not often you know the real current rental prices in London
Thank you! and yeh I thought the same!
This is not real! It's probably a cupboard tiny room with mould. It's very deceiving these numbers.

I'm surprised as well. Back in 2008 I rented a 1 bedroom flat in east london, was £875/mo, seems things have got cheaper.
It hasn’t, most one bed flats are still around 1k-1.3k, they just got bargains or are absolutely doing flatshares

Have rents gone down in London?! I was paying £850 like 5 years ago!
I live in zone 1 Westminster and I pay £500 a month for a 1 bedroom flat with my own bedroom living room etc . But I live in a council flat i inherited from my parents .
They are renting rooms, not flats, which is pretty obvious, apart from 3 men!
How did they all find good deals??
So what was £5000 in thumbnail about? 😐
these must be shared, i.e. only their portion of the rent (except for the guy who bought 30 years ago). They must be living in absolute shoeboxes for £600-800/month in central london.
You have such a nice apartment with Thames view !!!
I envy you 🍀
I pay just under £115 p/w for my flat in Camberwell but it is council owned.
That is a bargain wow!

why are homes listed for rent p/w? Honestly, does anyone actually pay rent on a weekly basis?
Just live in Zone 2 or higher, in a non trendy area and get at least one flat mate and you can live cheap, even in London.
Seems cheaper than zone 3 lmao
2 bedroom or 1 bedroom
I am confused by the line of questioning; are these figures for a room? or for the entire place?
Their share of the place
I can literally see where I live from where you live
these are room prices not a whole apartment's price
Yeh a lot of these people house share
What how is everyone's rent so low?
Honestly I thought the same!
Most of them sharing so it sounds about right I pay £1600 for a two bed 😢
Yeh true bro
£600 to £700 for good size room in London is cheap. How can i get one
Yes bro!
Thank you bro!!

Not it isn't. They are not paying for places, only for rooms. Often small rooms.

Glad you enjoyed!
I don’t believe this. I was paying £900 a month for a basic room in a shared 3 bed flat 2014.
I’m now paying £2600 for a 2 bed flat in Belsize Park.
no way ! It must be a shared accommodation could be weekly price.
