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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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