Idk, I’m sure rent in different places in the UK can be drastically different like it is in the US. Some places, the average is $600, and others the average is $1200. This can vary drastically by city.
Also it depends on what side of town you live here too. $600 here gets you in the hood. The fancy downtown area can cost you about $2000 for a one bedroom. I spend $1500 on rent for a two bedroom, but I’m right next to the border of the city limits, and some coworkers pay that for a one bedroom because they’re closer to walking distance of shopping areas.
