bmmf, I believe money used as rent on a flat you live in for a year or two or three, is money wasted. The way we rent in the UK isn't the same as in continental europe which doesn't seem to have the stigma to long term renting we have, where they can genuinely live in rented accomodation for a long term, rather than the short term mentality we have here.
If people rented long term here, and had the sort of rent security they have in europe (willing to be corrected on this) then renting isn't money pissed away its the creation of a home.
