How much would it cost to rent a house/flat?

Q. I live in the UK a bit south of London, i have just turned 16 and I really want to start thinking about leaving home. How much would it cost roughly to rent a house? Either here or in Ireland. House, flat, whatever, I just really want to leave. I know it should be common knowledge but i am not very good on values of things. Help would be appreciated. Thanks.

A. it really depends on the size, location and other factors. you also have to pay for your utilities, and they can get really, really expensive. your best bet is to start looking around craigslist.org for some apartments you might be interested in. good luck!


How old do you have to be to rent a house?
Q. How old do you have to be to rent a house/flat, council/private ? i live in the UK

Thanks.

A. Depends on the rules of the landlord. While you have to be 18 to enter into a legally binding agreement that will stand up in court, some landlords may choose to only rent to those who are 25 or older, or whatever arbitrary age they feel is appropriate.


I am 20 weeks pregnant and am a resident of UK, what benefits am I entitled to?
Q. I currently work full time and once I go on maternity leave I only get 6 weeks full pay, and then the rest at a fraction of that. My partner works full time too and we rent our house privately. All of the benefits mumbo jumbo is confusing me and from what I can gather, most benefits are only available to the unemployed who drain our system enough as it is? All seems highly unfair.

A. I can't tell you exactly what you can get but this should help you out. It takes a while though so I'd recommend putting the kettle on first. good luck https://www.dwpe-services.direct.gov.uk/portal/page/portal/ba/lp

Child tax credits are only being scrapped for those on a higher income. Not everyone on benefits is a scrounging chav either. I lost my job due to lack of government funding a few weeks ago and the employment market where I live is so bad that I am struggling to get a new job. Yes I am trying desperately because not working depresses me and makes me feel useless. Unfortunately benefits is the only option available to me right now if I want to keep a roof over my head. Believe me if I could get a job right now I would be absolutely delighted to have the opportunity to support myself but things did not go as planned. Not all on benefits are scroungers and it's alot harder to live on them than people think. I personally end up with about £5 spare a week for food after my bills and you get no extra help on JSA for being pregnant. You just have to find a way. I don't know how the scumbags who have no intention of ever working actually manage to live as they do because I sure am not living the life of riley!!


How does a lease with option to buy exactly work?
Q. Suppose I rent a house out with an option to buy. How much extra would I charge a month for the option? How do I know what price to agree on? Suppose the house is worth $120,000 right now, and I rent it out for $1200 per month. How would I do the transaction?
The house would normally rent for $1200 a month. How much would the new monthly rent be with the option included?

A. Here in the UK it means that you agree on a value of the house when you are in a position to purchase at a later date and the rent you have paid prior to this counts towards your deposit.Get a lawyer to explain and deal with this for you as it is easy to be caught out in an unfair arrangement.
