3k rentals are not £1800 rentals a month
Look forward for going for a beer with you [emoji4]
You can get a CW hotel for £30 a night at the moment why would you want to rent
I am looking with a friend for something more modest, 2/3 bed 2 bath and fair size.
It's slightly better in terms of quality than other areas of London and with the discount for now it makes more sense.
I've been trying to rent on my own but difficult to prove income as unemployed for quite a few months now... probably everyone has seen my rants around here. So would be sharing for now and waiting for things to pick-up.
Our budget is 1600, we can up it slightly but everything we have found for now is a bit trash.
One had underfloor heating which was not working (which the LL avoided saying) and the LL was trying to convince us that it is very cosy the property and it does not need any heating. I probably look gullible but I am not that...
He was asking £1750, it's 12th floor in one of the towers lower than CW, we offered £1500, he said no and we left it there.
Sure, we should definitely go for a beer. I have a sense that we'll see a lot of each other in the local bars.Leave a comment:

They believe the value is greater if the properties are new.
FIL was an expert water pumps, he commissioned lots of them for tower buildings and he was regularly told most of the owners were Chinese and would never use the properties or only as holiday homes. There was a need to get money out of China.Leave a comment:

Any dwelling less than 100 sq meters should not be allowed for residential purposes, that’s for single bedroom placesLeave a comment:
