I've decided I'm going to move out next year

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

I love this place, but it's getting way too expensive. Surely I can find a cheaper place?
I was thinking a studio flat.
I'll try with the council as well. That will probably take time, but worth a try.

[Candy Annie Cane]

Definitely get on the council list Vanessa.

Hope you find somewhere cheaper that you can be happy in

Yes, I want to get on the list.
I'm hoping a flat from them would be better. Private renting is crazy right now.

Why even stay in London?

I live in the "commuter belt" and it's only an hour by train, but very reasonable prices to live.

Because I start work at. 6:30. So I need to live nearby.

[Christmas Dynasnow]

Job aside do you really need to be in LOndon?

[In the Drunk Tank]

Move to Burnley

Move to Burnley


Do you have a 4DX Cinema?

[Merry Mockmas]

Good luck with the move Vanessa.

I'm not an expert on London Housing Markets or Private Renting standards, but I wish you the best at finding a home within your price range.

[Christmas Dynasnow]

Move to Burnley :nono:

Start doing the lottery because you got more chance of winning it than getting a council flat.

I might have to move outside London and commute. London rents are crazy right now.

[Gusto Brunt]

I'm gonna move this year too.

I don't like this house I am living in.

Far too big, and it's so cold. :(

I am thinking of a flat, too. :D

When you can get a mortgage that’s cheaper than your rent you know things are messed up

We need reform uk in asap. All these foreign freeloaders

I have settled status.
I've always rented privately, but every year they raise the rent. It's crazy.

They're not all freeloaders. I work and a lot of them do.

You might not be a net deficit to the uk if you got a council flat but many many are.

[Parmy]

I wouldnt give the landlord any notice if I were you

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

My colleague lives in Luton. She says is much cheaper in there and it's only half an hour by train. Sounds good to me?

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

No, not yet. Not until I find something suitable.

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

I'm considering moving either outside London or in the zone 6 areas. They still have the trains.

[ChristmasNeeve]

My colleague lives in Luton. She says is much cheaper in there and it's only half an hour by train. Sounds good to me?

That's nothing, when I lived in London I lived in Zone 3 and it took me 35-45minutes to get to work in the morning. Luton may as well be in London imo plus there's an airport there

Yes, I think it's worth considering.

But it's Luton. C'mon.

Luton is no different to other outer area's of London imo

…big changes, eh…and yes, it’ll give you much more choice outside of London, Vanessa…I know that you like to travel around in your down time/on your days off…?…so maybe travel out to some of the surrounding areas and see which places you like and check out what’s available their in terms of rental costs and also what the local amenities etc are…?…let us know how it all progresses, yeah…/…and good luck, you’ll get just the right thing…:love:..

I've seen bedsits in my area that are close to my workplace and looks really nice. Might go for something like that.
And bills are included.

A bedsit wouldn't be so bad to stay local if that's what you'd prefer

….see what you feel is best…. (and affordable…)… for you, Vanessa …there is obviously some huge positives in staying in an area you know and feel comfortable and familiar with, also…when you see the place that’s right for you, wherever it is…?..you’ll know it feels right to go for it…

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

Its because I work early mornings. I'm
worried I could be late if I live too far away?

Yeah I know what you mean, extra sleep is always good too :laugh:

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

I'll have to save some money for the deposit. But I've seen some nice studio flats for around a 1000 pounds a month.
I can afford that. And i still have housing benefit.

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

Yeah I know what you mean, extra sleep is always good too :laugh:

My colleague has a car, so they drive from Luton to London. But the train isn't very reliable.

…I’ve seen that in my local area there are ‘no deposit’ rentals, I don’t know if that’s a thing for you also…

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

I'll have a look in my area.

Private landlords have always seemed a bit dodgy to me ,so I think the council will be your best bet.

I know it's very expensive in general , especially in London. Which is why some people relocate cities as well.

I'll probably move next year anyway. I've seen cheaper places in a nearby area.

Moving out sounds great, and rents will be cheaper but you have to weigh up the cost of train travel in and out and also because you start so early if the trains will be running, I think you work alot of weekends? Maybe your colleague in Luton would consider a car share if you work the same shifts they might welcome the sharing of fuel costs, but then they might not always work in the same place, bear in mind as well when flats come up they go quickly in the area we moved from they were queuing round the block to view some flats, you have given yourself plenty time to make the right decisions for yourself.

I'll have to save up for a deposit. So won't be able to move out for a while.
But I think Alperton is better. It's near my work and a nice area.
Luton I think too far and I don't have a car. Train are unreliable.

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

I don't actually pay full rent. I have housing benefit. But it's still a struggle.

[Cherry Christmas]

Definately go the council route as well
