How much does renting or buying a house cost in England?

Question

I live in NY and was woundering if it is more expensive in England.
How much would it be to rent a nice 3 bedroom apartment in a three family house outside the city?
Also how much would it be for a really nice house, with about 4 bedrooms and two bathrooms and a backyard?

Please be as detailed as possible
Thank You

Answer 1

It Varies greatly on the part of England you live in.
Up North is very cheap and you'll get that from aroung £700+ per month. In London you could be looking at £2000+ per month easily.

Answer 2

having a house in england would be more expensive than in NY because our currency is stronger than yours. If i bought a house over in the UK for £100,000 it would be worth nearly $200,000.

The prices of houses in england are on the increase and I doubt they will go down anytime soon. My unlce just bought a house not too far in the city but close enough, 3 bedrooms, 1 en suite bathroom, 1 main bathroom, living room, dining room and kitchen and driveway for £185,000

Answer 3

Rent on a three bedroom flat on the outskirts of London you are talking anything from £400 - £600 a week. In other parts of the country like where I live in Buckinghamshire, a three bed flat would set you back £150 ish per week.
Average 4 bed house in my area is £300,000. Cloakroom, bathroom, ensuite, kitchen, dining room, laundry, lounge, double garage, garden back and front.

As far as I know, not many people outside of the city live in apartments in England. You'd be living in a house, unless you want to look like a beggar. So why don't you just look on a property site. Here's one:

Anyway, I left England when I was 8, but I remember thinking that it looked poor to be in an apartment.

Hun it is possible but the house prices here are going through the roof so you will not get a lot for the money. Your husband friend may of brought one a few yrs ago when the house prices were low. Right now its going through the roof. As you are getting paid in US dollars the english pound is killing it at the moment. My advice don't buy unless your husband wants to extend his time in england and you know that you may spend 6 yrs there.

Answer 6

I live in Lincolnshire in England and prices for the type of home you describe in this area would cost you from £180k upwards to buy and from£600 per calander month upwards to rent.We do not call a back yard a back yard,we call it a garden(just for your information).We do not seem to have 3 bed apartments in 3 family houses,just apartment blocks.Do'nt know the cost of apartments but they do incur common area charges as well as rent etc.Hope this helps.

Answer 7

The others have given you good information on costs. Just keep in mind that the £ is worth about $2. So £700 a month is equal to about $1,400. And it all goes up from there!

Answer 8

there are 1 bed apartments in Stoke Newington North London, not the best of areas but coming for 2 to 300 per week.

Answer 9

Average for 3 bed accomodation in UK is £235,000
4 bed £300,000
But prices differ alot I guess its the same where you are
Location, location & location are the biggest factors when it comes to house prices

Rental £750 to £2000 again, location, location & location

We call people who sell houses Estate Agents.Google a few in the UK and see whats on offer where you want to live
