At first they didn't seem so bad until I caught on that they were quoting fee per WEEK vs. month like in the states.<BR/><BR/>Couple that with this fraud of an advertisement and I'd say they're all bonkers their in your fair city.Non Je Ne Regrette Rienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02973542459591839879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3971077270766122919.post-85646567599239555732008-08-14T04:13:00.000+01:002008-08-14T04:13:00.000+01:00Hi Bete,Move further out of London to escape the r...Hi Bete,<BR/><BR/>Move further out of London to escape the ridiculous Zone 2 rents (and don't even consider north London or west London where they will charge up to £200 a week for a fleapit).<BR/><BR/>Look -- this is my new flat in Beckenham (Kent, don't feint) -- but look what you get for your money:<BR/><BR/>http://goodbyetoallfat.blogspot.com/2008/08/my-new-flat.html<BR/><BR/>and all of that costs just £700 pcm. The rooms are really big (the living room is much bigger than just the bit shown on the photo) and the bedroom is very spacious and then there's the huge garden out the back as well.<BR/><BR/>Beckenham is Zone 4 and within greater London, and just a mile away from being within a London postcode. (And there is a brilliant osteopath on the high street who I have been seeing about my bad back for ages !!!)<BR/><BR/>You don't have to pick Beckenham -- just start to think a bit differently -- and I wouldn't advise Gumtree as the best flat hunting website either.<BR/><BR/>http://www.rightmove.co.uk -- you can select with X miles of any given area or postcode, which might bring up some results you weren't always expecting.<BR/><BR/>I chose the postcode W1 and any flats within 15 miles (you can find even better bargains if you extend your search to within 20 miles).<BR/><BR/>Good luck!<BR/><BR/>SharonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3971077270766122919.post-84801111158887802782008-08-13T21:46:00.000+01:002008-08-13T21:46:00.000+01:00http://sandiego.craigslist.org/csd/apa/794804816.h...http://sandiego.craigslist.org/csd/apa/794804816.html<BR/><BR/>Seriouosly though, this one is a condo in a beautiful complex, "downtown" and is worth the money.<BR/><BR/>I'd live there if I could.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3971077270766122919.post-20822320308347571722008-08-13T21:38:00.000+01:002008-08-13T21:38:00.000+01:00You Should move to San Diego, Californa...the £850...You Should move to San Diego, Californa...the £850- that's roughly, what? $1650 USD.<BR/><BR/>You could get a nice place to rent all to your lonesome for that price here, & homes are being foreclosed on left and right- You might even be able to pay of a house and then sell it and move back to a nice flat in England.<BR/><BR/>http://sandiego.craigslist.org/csd/apa/794952245.html<BR/><BR/>See for £850-you can have stone columns in your apt...<BR/><BR/>Umm, Yeah... rent stinks her in Southern California.<BR/><BR/>I hear it's real cheap in Idaho.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3971077270766122919.post-36658761405813652362008-08-13T15:02:00.000+01:002008-08-13T15:02:00.000+01:00This is why we in the North are pissing ourselves ...This is why we in the North are pissing ourselves laughing at the recent report suggesting people should move to the south east. £850 for that?
