UK’s most expensive city revealed and renting a home costs a mind-boggling £2.3k a month! B
Situated in Hertfordshire St Albans is an attractive place but this beauty comes with a significant price tag.
St Albans has been named the most expensive city outside of London to rent where renting a home on average costs a mind-boggling £2.3k a month, 71 percent above the national average.
Situated in Hertfordshire St Albans is an attractive place to live thanks to it being steeped in history, excellent schools and easy transport links to London and the countryside.
The city is home to the stunning St Albans Cathedral, the oldest site of continuous Christian worship in Britain, and the Roman Verulamium Park, which offers residents and visitors alike a glimpse into the past with its ancient ruins and artefacts.
St Albans’ historic city centre is a picturesque mix of medieval and Georgian buildings, bustling markets, and quaint shops.
Coming in third cheapest is Sunderland, with rents averaging £807 pcm with Stoke-On-Trent in fourth, with average advertised rents at £863.
Wrexham is the fifth cheapest place to rent in the UK with average monthly rents of £874.
Rightmove’s property expert, Tim Bannister, said: “The rental divide across Great Britain is clear, with an average difference of just over £1,500 between the most expensive and cheapest cities.
“Many of these cities have seen rental growth of over 40% over the past five years, meaning it’s likely to be a significant consideration when students are thinking about where to study, and those who have already graduated working out if they can afford to stay in that city and find a job.”
