Shed for rent
(www.rightmove.co.uk)
Imagine paying £800 a month to live in someone's garage
Plus £295 for utilities. How the fuck does that shack cost £295 a month to operate? Fuck that.
Probably has zero insulation and needs the heat on constantly. I also doubt that it has separate water metering so they're likely paying the landlord's bills too.
Can confirm that running one electric radiator costs a shit load of money
I mean, with a little love that could be quite a nice little courtyard, but damn, not for ~US$1k/mo.
The place itself is not bad, but for that price!? Fuck off
£1,095 a month to live in a shed!!
Beats the street...
I thought that this must be somewhere in London, but it turns out it’s in the outskirts of Bristol. Who would pay for this?
Airbus employees, I suppose. They have a site in Filton.
Let me guess, Airbus pays the bills, and the frequently travelling employee couldn’t care less as long as they have a place where they can sleep a few nights.
Honestly not that bad, coming from someone living in San Diego. I've seen worse that is more expensive.
Same in Vancouver. I'd actually consider that if it was close to my school. Better then living in someones mouldy DIY renovated basement "suite" that you share with four other people. *...and usually pay ~$800 a month for...
800 CAD is like 400GBP, to be fair. So this garage thing would be like 2000 CAD.
fffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck...
I would have dealt with it when fresh out of flight school, though at upwards of $1000 a month plus utilities I'd have laughed in your face so hard you'd need to clean your glasses.
I paid more that that for a bit smaller apartment in Tokyo that had no bills included. That's not even in the pricier parts of Tokyo. Only difference was a sliding door between the beedroom and the rest and bath position. I did have a small veranda for drying clothes (and, in my case, growing some pepper plants).
To be clear, this one isn't in London or one of the other big cities; it's in the suburbs of Bristol, a smaller city.
I was under the impression that property prices in Tokyo were pretty insane. This is more like the equivalent of a garden shed in Fukuyama.
I don't see any curtains/blinds or curtain rod/rail, did they forget that people need privacy when they were converting their garage into an overpriced studio flat?
You can bang up a cheap blind with a couple of cup hooks. As there is only one window it wouldn't be too much of a chore. The single window is an issue.
Did you forget zoo visitors need entertainment?
Privacy is an entra 150
It's pretty well located, right next to the university. I can see this going very quickly
Offered with all bills included set at an extra £295.00 (£1,095.00 in total) on an part-furnished basis. The studio will be supplied with a single bed/mattress, fridge and washing machine.
Am I reading this wrong or are they saying you have to pay extra for bills included?
I’m sure they mean “utilities included” for that extra amount.
Kitchen/Lounge/Bedroom
Is this legal?
For only £27/day? Lol
To be fair, they seem to have tied-in the lower brickwork, so when you slam the door the whole front wall shouldn't fall out.
But, maybe there's loft space in that ~~garage~~ studio apartment that they could sub-let and recoup some costs

the actual listing itself including unusual descriptions and unrealistic pricing. However, this isn’t a community to discuss the housing market in general. This is a comedic community - let’s keep it light.
