West Midlands is too pricey, you would just be able to afford a 1 bed flat :lol: im just trying to change your mind from renting ;)

west midlands must be cheaper than where i live :lol:

Im not at home so cant get a pic.

:! dont do it, you could get a nice 2 bed house for that!! :o

Where's the pic of your drive? :look:

Found a few one double bed one reception room, kitchen, hall, gated car park in new builds for £4-500 a month.

Best I found so far was £575 a month for an apartment with hall, lounge, double bedroom, kitchen and bedroom, off street allocated parking and £625 deposit. That's in Brentwood.

Renting is dead money, save and buy your own even if it means saving for ages as its deffo worth it!

Two months rent as a deposit :(
Embracing the joys of paying council tax :(
Bills Bills Bills :!
Dead money :(

Personally I'd stay at the folks and save for a deposit on a house. By renting you probably wont be able to afford to save squat ;)

:lol: I would stay put and put away the money, maybe get a standing order each month from your current wages to help aid and put towards a house or nice flat you can get a mortgage for :thumbs:

d_jay: I will get a pic of the drive now its done as well.

@ £350k i dont think its my house :lol:

:o I always assumed this was your house and you owned it :boggle:



:lol:

Im renting as the house prices are still too high imo. Renting some where big enough to live but small enough to allow me to save at the same time.

;) I honestly think renting is a good option for first time moving out to see how you cope. I won't be buying until I can afford somewhere I really like and renting means I can live somewhere i like for now. Either going to buy with a mate or a lady if I meet one ( :| ) hopefully in the next 18 months

i have always said i would never rent as its dead money.

But!!

Im thinking of moving out and renting an appartment.


Now do I move out and rent a nice appartment or stay at home and put the monthly rental into savings?

To buy a place id like near where i live im looking at £150k plus just for a two bed appartment.

£200k for a house.
