Ouch. Obvs you've got your own overheads/life costs but a studio flat should be £550 a month. No more. Not realistic in this climate but that's all they're worth. How do you justify the 100 increase in ONE year?
Scant consolation for people paying over a grand a month for a studio flat with no garden, no parking, no rent cap and all their spare cash tied up in deposits/holding deposits/admin fees. Jeez!
