  • Here's what it's like flat hunting in London. Spoiler alert: It's crazy out there! #flathunting #londonflathunt #flathuntinglondon
    We viewed over 20 flats and I showed clips of most of them in this video with prices included. We were looking for a 3 bed under £2,400 in zone 1 or 2 (preferably in West London). We used rightmove and zoopla, but ultimately found our flat with rightmove.

    I called like 300 flats in 3 weeks. Flat hunting in London is crazy right now and I am so happy I found something. At the end I just put an offer on every flat I was able to get a video from and actually got 2 flats at the same time. It was especially difficult because I wasn't in London and I am moving with my dog. Good luck for everyone looking right now.

    Finally a video where realistic apartments are shown and not some extremely high end, very fancy glamorous flats that no average person can afford..
    Glad everything worked out; enjoy the new flat!:)

    I lived in Wandsworth for two years, right next to the Queen Adelaide pub, and prior to that in Tooting, South Wimbledon and Shepherds Bush...I can tell you that I preferred Wandsworth to everywhere I lived in London! I only moved during the pandemic cause I bought in Sutton. Still go back there all the time 🙂

    Flat hunting in London sounds like a nightmare. I'm so pleased you found somewhere suitable in time. I look forward to a flat your.

    UK population is rising by about 200,000 a year atm. The amount of available accomodation is not going up anywhere near that amount, so this is a supply and demand situation, especially in a built-up area like London. It doesn't help that a lot of the really expensive places have been purchased by people solely as an investment, and left empty.

    Congrats on the new flat! I'm sorry I laughed when you mentioned there was a delay on the District line because it always seems to be delayed doesn't it? 😂 And I hear you about the flat hunt struggle in London! I'm Canadian and moved to London for law school (I go to City) and it took so long to finally secure my flat. I also had to put down 6 months and then another 6 months after 4 months so they would have 2 months notice if I couldn't make the payment. So frustrating and nothing like renting in Canada. Anyway, happy it all worked out in the end 💕

    Hi
    You looked at some nice places..West Hampstead and St John's Wood but they both come at a cost!
    But yes finding property rentals in London is hard. I last rented a place in Greater London about 9 years ago and kept missing out like you guys.

    I really enjoy all your videos. I love London. You are fortunate in that weren’t looking to rent in my own city- Dublin, Ireland. Far more difficult and expensive!

      I’m 27! I didn’t get to study abroad in college, so I went to Italy for a summer after I graduated and had worked a bit, then to England to study for my Master’s a few years later.

  • @encapsulated_nomad1359

    Most of the time you get turned down for your age and if you don’t have enough renters history so they don’t know what kind of renter you’ll be
