Unbelievable, my old man RiP always told me rent money is like throwing it down the drain, wise words Dad although I get that these days it is hard to raise the down payment on a Mortgage at 15% plus.

He sounds like a pretentious twatAnd the rest! A lad I recently helped find work and relocate to Manchester pays 1200pm to live at “Angel Gardens” he’s only young and I was trying to explain how daft that is..... (he’s on a decent but not spectacular wage) all he could say was “but we have a gym onsite, a footy pitch on the roof and they do a pizza night once a week for us”

Good grief people rent at £1k a Month, a mortgage on a 120k house would be approx. £450.
One of the apartments near me, Bovril .. is right on the top of a block of apartments called 'Ice Plant' ... and it's £3k a month to rent it!
AGUERO'S said to have acquired a luxury rooftop apartment on Deansgate and the rent is said to be £8k a month!

Yep. you did well .... which area of London was that?
My stepdaughter lives in leafy Greenwich , and she'll probably sell hers in five minutes if she ever decides to leave!
Newham. Where Upton Park was. It’s the last affordable area and there’s a shortage of houses.
Two bidders offered £15,000 under the asking price. The two girls got overexcited and paid it. Should be through soon.

I lived in South Manchester as a student and was keen to leave. Longsight was crap and Victoria Park boring.
As I’ve said, Failsworth was a hidden gem and Droylsden handy for City. Good Holts’ pubs on the strip including The Halfway and The Grove.

Great if you can afford it, as I said previously rent money is like throwing it down a drain. If you can afford 8k rent you can afford a 750k Mortgage, each to their own but thanks for that interesting post.One of the apartments near me, Bovril .. is right on the top of a block of apartments called 'Ice Plant' ... and it's £3k a month to rent it!

So let me get this straight, 2 lezzas have got overexcited, and are close to completion, and no one has asked for pics? Standards gentlemen, standards.Newham. Where Upton Park was. It’s the last affordable area and there’s a shortage of houses.

i suppose many people nowadays just don't want the hassle of owning a property ... or the inconvenience and hassle of both finding, and dealing with, tradesmen to actually do jobs , who are often shady or unreliable .... they like to just quit places and relocate in an instant , aas they please, with minimum notice.. .. rather that undergo the hassle of first buying , and then maybe selling a house.
Plus you can lose thousands if you do come to sell and at the time of sale it's a 'buyers market' because there's plenty of housing choice available, forcing the seller into lowering his asking price.
