Rents went up by about £300pm on a two bed flat in SW15 in the last 7 months. Its nuts.
I find the whole thing distinctly depressing but I've come to a stage now where I feel that any of my personal feelings of bitterness have at points been linked to feelings of jealousy towards individuals with property to rent and a realisation that life is too short to be depressed about paying for a roof over my head. If I'm paying some bloke who had the fortune and foresight to buy property in 2005 big ££££ to live in one of his spare flats then I'm going to bloody well enjoy living in it otherwise it really will be a waste of money.
