I agree but it’s the going rate fr anything in good nick in the right place...
...but as farmers I think we often underestimate the pay rates for a lot of people.

£100 acre per year for land is cheap then?
Often Farm holdings have a house as well?

I think as farmers we often under estimate the value of all the day to day living expenses that get paid 'out of the business" (quite probably accounted for correctly, but still forgotten) that normal folk have to pay for out of their after taxed salary.

I know people paying £1,000 a month for a room in a fairly standard flat share in London!
I would think that round here (Hants) the rent for a nice 3 bed house with a garden in a rural area would be £1100.
Should I have too much sympathy?
I know lots who complain they cannot buy a house however when young party’d hard,lots of travel,weekends away and all designer gear with a new car on tick.
And then they wonder why they don’t have a deposit.
I was too careful when young however an old employer told me to save every penny when young as having a family is expensive,and he was right,and we are skint however we have a beautiful home which we own.

you're right.....the bit that frustrates me is the govt and 'do gooders' say they want to improve rented accomodation and bring in regs to do so.....they don't seem to realise that the tenant ultimately pays

Sounds a normal rent, paid that 10yrs ago for a 2 bed cottage in Oxfordshire. I think a lot of farmers live a sheltered life to these costs.

If you borrowed £800,000 to get a rental return of £1500/month how would that stack up

At the start of the century I was paying £750 pcm while sharing a flat on Long Acre, Covent Garden; I don't know but I guess I would be close to paying that per week now.
Are you going to be letting somewhere, if so - and following your post - what will you charge?

3 bed house with garden in village would be about £425 a month round here. Different part of the country, different rate.

Rents were driven up by the ridiulous housing benefit rules bought in by the Labour government, where basically, if you found a house to rent but no income for it the government paid.
The result was landlords could charge what they liked and often people were renting totally innapropriate houses proprtional to their income.
Caps have now been introduced but it will not ever get back to sensible levels unless housing benefit was removed.
The upshot was of course many poorer sections of society could afford a decent home, but it meant those who did not qualify for help found themselves were now the ones struggling, particulalry in p,ces likeLondon.
It also drove up a type of fraud prevalent in certain communities , where people were renting at very high rents accomodation from close family members who did not share the same name, frequently even where they were married! These rents were frequently higher than any mortgage repayment , so the government was actually driving the very high house prices we have today.
The government knows there is a problem but sorting it would certainly mean a huge number of votes lost across the spectrum.

well put, i been trying to explain that to people for a few years with no success. there is a form of madness in places like london, they fill the houses close to work with the unemployed and force the workers to commute for an hour each way
the 800 would cost you 16, and 18 back in rent, =2 +value rise - insur, gas insp, odd call outs and bit of refurb..
needs another £40 a week on the rent to work
