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.

    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

    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?

    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...

    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?

    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?

    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
