We live in town with cheapest rent in UK – mouldy homes are on brink of collapse… others are turned into drug factories
AT the corner of two rubbish-strewn streets, which are dotted with boarded-up houses, sits a two-bedroom apartment which is currently on sale for just £1,000. Locals will tell you it's overpriced. This is Hartlepool , the North East town which has been confirmed as Britain's bargain basement rental capital . According to new figures from estate agency Zoopla, the average monthly rent being paid by tenants in the town is just £496, placing it just ahead of Burnley , Lancs, at £504 and East Ayrshire in Scotland at £512. This is in comparison to London where the average rent is reckoned to be £26,316 a year, or £2,193 a month. To those squeezed renters in the capital abandoning hope of ever saving money for their own property, Hartlepool's rental market must seem like the stuff of dreams.
