Hi guys
Well house prices and that in the uk are very high, for example, i brought my house in 2001 for £58,000 , it is nice worth £196,000, so it is good for me, but bad for people just starting out.
When i was at Easyjet, they have an internal website for crew, and one of the chapters on there is a for sale room, and people advertise room shares, house shares etc......
Typically to rent a room in a shared house say, expect to pay about £280 to £330.oo per month. The nore you pay, the better the accomadation i suppose or the landlord is ripping you off. So be careful.
When renting you normally pay a month up front as a deposit, then another month down as your first months rent and around 100.00 or so in Admin fees,
Or if you are all going to the same base, why not house share together, Gatwick as it is very close to london and also a high demand area is going to be a bit dearer, but once you are out of london, the prices do drop a bit.
Pay wise, when i was full time, if i was on an average month, i was taking home after tax etc.... around £12oo. oo amonth, good months where you work your Bollocks of £1600.00 , so the pay is good, compared to other airlines.
Well good luck guys.
Another rental site to try is
www.rightmove.co.uk and press the rental tab and go from there, at least this will give you an idea to prices.
Goood luck x
