- 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.
Omg me tooo I’m looking at them like right now
That’s so insane, I’m glad everything worked out for you though!
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!:)
Thank you!!
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 🙂
Wow sounds like everyone in the world wants to live in London. So pleased you where successful in your hunt. Hope you all have a great time there. Well done.👏👏👏👏
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.
Congrats on the flat! :) Loved this video, also when flat hunting in London sounds like a chaotic mess :D
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!
So glad you found a great place!
Currently flat hunting in the same areas and can confirm its definitely not fun! Thanks for sharing your experience!
move up north can get a detached country house 5 bedroom newly renovtated with bifolding doors with 2 acres of land for 2k a month LOL
Wow! It really is crazy!!
How much money did u save before u started flat hunting As long is exspensive as hell
heyy odd comment but how old are you? been obsessed with your channel and i see you went to study abroad quite a bit!
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.
Well done
I need room for 4 students in Bexley/DARTFORD? If available
Pl inform
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
Can't find anything that is suitable for normal people in London. Been living in Airbnb for 2 months now.
Can i meet with you if i come Greenwich ?
Wow u have no income that's madness u need some income extra funds to rent in London
Looks like quite an ordeal! Can't wait to see the moving vlog.
