Flat-out
My flatmate is moving out to pursue a more lucrative (and possibly more satisfying) career in a different part of the country, so I’ve been looking for places to live. Its difficult. I have no desire to live with randoms, as you can get into some really big arguments about whose turn it is to do the washing up. And its usually mine, because I’m quite slovenly.
Flat rents are just incredible, though. I saw a couple of places today which were OK size, fairly modern and pretty well located. Unfortunately, they were ground floor flats on a busy main road, electrically heated and extremely expensive.
The estate agent seemed genuinely surprised that I wasn’t particularly interested. Apparently, in the current market, those flats were good value. I guess I just have to lower my expectations or dig deeper into my wallet.
This weekend I’ve got another couple of viewings lined up, so I guess we’ll see how that goes.
