Finding somewhere to live in London can be tough.
takes you inside different people’s rented properties, from the lovely flats at genuinely reasonable prices to the grim houseshares with no functioning toilet.This time around we’re in Brixton with Caspar, a social media editor renting a one-bedroom flat.AdvertisementI’m not sure the exact amount for bills, but nothing out of the ordinary. Council tax is around £90, gas and electric is £60, Sky broadband is £25.
When they wanted to raise the rent even more, I realised I could pay a little more to get a whole flat.I’m exactly half way between Clapham and Brixton. Technically a Brixton SW2 postcode, but I spend more time in Clapham so I just tell people ‘Clapham’ when they ask.A huge bedroom, a bathroom, and a living room/kitchen. The living room is the smallest room, I wish I could switch it with the bedroom but that wouldn’t be practical.
After putting up with houseshares, Caspar realised he wouldn’t need to pay that much more to get his own place The landlord left a lot of kitchen stuff here, but I’d bought lots of my own for moving so all of his has been packed away in boxes.
