    Alternatively, £6000pcm would be the monthly mortgage on some absolute palace in Surrey. You would have a huge garden, gates, private road, much quieter and safer area, and you're still 30-45 minutes from Zone 1 if you really need to be there.
    I grew up in Edinburgh and even there you can rent a 7 bedroom Edwardian villa house (borderline mansion) for £55k a year. There was one of those near where I grew up. This is £72k for a flat.

      Some people do not what to live out in the sticks in Surrey in a Palace! I for one enjoy living in city, and I enjoy living in apartments with multi-amenities. I just love the energy of the community and Canary Wharf is safe and clean. My mother lives in Surrey but it is not for me. But if Surrey floats your boat, indeed, you will get a lot more real estate for your money.

      @Akh Cho You are thinking in your own reality. Someone who is renting for £6k per month probably owns five houses across the world and is certainly not worrying about £6k - they are renting for lifestyle reasons - not because they have no other choice. The footballers who lives in that building or on £60k+ per week, £6k is like buying a loaf of bread to them. I think the point is that renting a property at £6k per month is for people who can afford it and it is all relative. Good luck to them I say.

The average price for properties in general in this location regardless of bedrooms is closer to £700pcm which again falls far short of £6k, making your claim wrong.

Using the average price ratio does not give good data, because they are mixing in the older properties.

    Whist this apartment is on the pricey side (considering it looks fairly basic), everyone is assuming that it will be rented out by one individual. It’s very possible 3 separate people will split the bill for 2k each. Yes - you could probably afford a mansion in the middle of nowhere, but you’re forgetting that significant value is added for CW workers living as close to the office as possible when having to work 90 hour weeks.

    ‘Investing’ in property is an investment in the continued poverty of your fellow citizens. Affordable housing is a basic need, that underpins a civil society. Imagine having a portfolio of surplus food, that you drip fed to people, at ever increasing prices they struggled to afford? I sold all my investment property 15 years ago, when i realised i was partly the cause of poverty, not only in my own country, but also the places where i had bought foreign property. I’m all for people making money, but ‘investing’ in property is just gross and cynical. Keep your money in other marketplaces, but don’t become a member of the ‘rentier’ class. Interestingly, following the French Revolution, it wasn’t the monarchy that went to the guillotine first, but the greedy landlords, living off the working poor.

      A lot of people in Britain today are deeply lacking in genuine empathy unfortunately. People have been conditioned by media and industry to think primarily of themselves and to accumulate signifiers of their own success rather than to care much for community, making up for this by tweeting "Be Kind" every six months or liking some shallow post along the lines of "mental health, it's important, yeah?". I'm glad you had your realisation, multiple home ownership is honestly crass unless you're willing to be a dedicated helpful, non-profiteering landlord, but those are very hard to come by indeed.

      It sounds like you got a pretty good deal. The market rate in my area (Sutton/Worcester Park/Epsom) is about £1700-2000/month for a three bedroom house with garden, although it would probably be a bit too far out for someone working in Canary Wharf.

    £72,000 a year not including council tax, energy bills and other costs. Hard to imagine an individual shelling out that amount from their own pocket on a rented property. My guess is that high earning senior management and execs who travel a lot for work will have their living costs paid for them by their companies will be likely tenants. Surely nobody would pay that otherwise.

    • @icarusflying1814
      @icarusflying1814 Před 2 lety +3

      @@danm4320 not necessarily. Let’s assume the yield on this property is 4%, the value would be £1.8m.
      Stamp duty assuming this is the only property is £130k or £184k if a second property (highly likely).
      Deposit of 25% is £450k. The opportunity cost on this (assume can get a return of 6%) is £27k a year.
      Interest cost on £1.35m mortgage at say 2.5% is £34k a year.
      So your real plus opportunity cost is already £61k, ie £11k less than renting and for the stamp duty to make sense, you’d need to own the property for £184k/£11k = 17 years.
      Selling costs would be around 1% so anything from £20k upwards (another 2 years at £11k gap per year).
      So unless you’re intending on buying and holding this property for the medium to long term, praying for an uptick in value, it makes financial sense to rent this property.
