Christ! Glad I moved from Sussex really then! £10k is pretty standard deposit for first home where I live(Lincoln/Newark).
Most of my friends pay £400-£500pm rent on 2 bed houses with gardens etc. Salaries aren't hugely different either, well at least not when compared to the property price...
I've never understood the dislike with BTL landlords if I'm honest. But I'm a Recruitment Consultant too so I guess I already tick one box so two can't be much worse! :lolol: :thumbsup:
