I hope you found your dream flat Kat! You actually managed to find reasonably priced places given the areas you picked ❤

Omg my boyfriend and I are also Australian and we’re moving to London in a few months with the exact same budget! This was so helpful ❤

2.3k for one bed without bills. That’s just pure insanity.

First and foremost congratulations to Sean for getting into London business school. Also congratulations on the new flat, (or at least finding one) I was surprised about paying 6 months in advance, I guess you wouldn't worry about rent for quite a while...😅

Muswell Hill and Crouch End are nice in North London. Quick tube to Finsbury Park, plenty of buses. Don’t forget to investigate overground stations not just tube ones.

Wow you guys viewed soo many places!! I'm shocked to hear that it's 6 months rent payment up front 😮

[kathleenjones]

I signed a contract for six months but did not pay that much up front-first and last month up front with a security deposit. You chose some pricey areas. NE London is more budget friendly. Enjoy London!

As others have noted in the comments, the locations you were looking in are considered to be fairly posh, particularly Marylebone, St John's Wood & West Hampstead with the average house price above a million pounds. Accordingly, rent will also be higher. You need to be more flexible on your criterias. Not sure why carpets are a deal breaker for you compared to wooden flooring ? I think you got a good deal at £2.1k, could see it at 10% higher and should have no problem given its close proximity to the tube, newly refurbished and fairly spacious for a 1 bed.

You picked seven of the most expensive places north of oxford street. You ought to move a bit further out. No lift, you have young legs you should be able to run up the stairs.

The 10th flat had so much potential, the size of the bedroom even let me down lol

[klizan]

St jonhs wood is a nice location, i worked nearby for several years, but expensive place to live, I couldn’t afford to live there

hope you enjoy your time in london; it is a beautiful city, but so is perth; enjoyx

I'd recommend moving to Melbourne instead of London lol.

Moved here recently and its a phenomenally dirty city😢 😢

Congrats on the LBS offer and congrats to you both. I hope the move wasn't too stressful! I know this is really annoying to say, because you've already moved, but I reckon if you looked a little further east/northeast from where you were looking (like around Highbury and Islington - maybe even Dalston, if it's your vibe), you absolutely would have gotten better bang for your buck, but I understand your decision! It's obviously a little further out for you guys. Transport links can be a bit confusing at first, but I guess being closer to your Fiance's school was more of a priority. Regardless I'm looking forward to seeing how you guys settle in. Welcome to London! :) <3

This flats looking all very normal, nothing specially and then this prices...

[j_constance]

Question! How do agencies accept a couple when you are students, does that mean you work?
Do you have a job secured already in Ldn or how does that work with visa etc? Perhaps you have a lot of savings?

[tamaragee]

You are so beautiful. Breath of fresh air ❤

[MelanieJosephine]

Did you end up taking any of these places?

[primeparadox]

These are pretty much posh areas -__-. But congrats!
