The real answer is depends on where you live. I pay £920pm but I live on Z1, have a back garden, have a well connected the station and can walk into central from my house🤷‍♂️

Sure, it's near king's cross, Islington. But we got VERY lucky when looking.

Friends who’re flat-sharing pay anywhere between £600-£900.
Depends on how many flatmates there are, size of the room, zone you will be in & other amenities in the building.

Good luck with the move.

When I graduated (6 years ago) I was sharing with a friend and paying ~1100 for 2 bed 2 bath in Maida Vale

Started paying 850 4 years ago now paying 1k

Started with paying 650£ in rent whilst sharing to currently £1000 pm, just moved to a slightly nicer place each year.

Started paying £800incl. bills 4 years ago, now it’s £1200pcm

1400 excluding bills in Greenwich

£1300 for a studio excluding bills and council tax

How do you deal with extreme changes that affect the way you do your role? I have expressed how these drastic changes have affected my work productivity and how I see myself hitting my goals but it seems to be viewed as more complaining than expressing my concerns with managing a new sector that has not been done before.

FYI I am the only one on my team with the prior experience managing this sector.
