Flat Hunting in London w/ prices, tours and tips 🏡 

People that make flat hunting videos in London you're the MVP 👏😭💯

You describe perfectly how difficult it is to flat hunt in London for rentals. High prices for unsatisfactory apartments. Like you i like unfurnished places and it seems close to impossible.

This was such an interesting and engaging video even as someone who has no intention of moving to London! Congrats on your move💜

loving your current studio much better than these other ones + we're neighbours :)

This video is soo helpful and extremly well made!

Used to live in LCI too but the neighbourhood was defo not the best! Mad how I didn’t see flats in that price range, usually it’s all 1600+ for studios/one bed in NW 😳

yeessss, moving content ❣️ hope everything when smoothly with the move and you're settling in well x

I agree with the comments Monica, your current place is so much nicer than any other ones you showed today. If I was choosing I would have gone with the last one even tho it was super small but it was the most modern so I don't know, do you want modern and small or big and out dated ? x

Great editing!

Hi Monica! I just signed on a flat today!! Moving to London from Canada in 2 weeks 😊 it was SUCH a process lol

Stay where you are! Your flat is beautiful!

I understand most of the sentiments you described but I do think that your standards for the price range you were looking for were quite high. I would attribute what you found down to luck and vigor. Anyone looking in London should know how competitive places are and how quickly places go so the key thing when looking for rentals here is to build some sort of rapport with agents because they will send you stuff off market a lot of the time...

Hi! I'm thinking to move to London, which website did you look for these flats?

Why move Monica I don't think any look as good as your current flat. Your area has DLR good view from your flat window? What do you think?

My guess is Flat 3 ☺

Wow the price difference between last year and now is massive

I'm flat hunting in London at the moment too and understand the struggle 😢

Wow, prices where much better 9 month ago, I have just rented a tiny little studio in Paddington for 1200 pcm. Would be great if you could mention reliable agencies that you have worked with. I know you tend to use private landlords. Thanks

Thanks Monica. I will be relocated from Frankfurt to London on January and start already looking the flats on rightmove. Most of the one bedroom flat and studios I found on rightmove are over 1500 pcm (or almost 1800) on South London, so I am surprised that the flats you show here are all around 1400 and in good locations. I will have a look on west London :) One question, can we schedule the flat viewing on Saturday? I don't know how much time I will have after work to view these places.

same issue in Amsterdam, so much money for so little :,(

omw to watch your vlog but I feel like your current flat is better than all these options!

You mentioned where you live, I can't believe we are neighbours :)

Where do look for flat ? What do you think of Zoopla ?

where i live the biggest problem is theres like 5 apts month avalible to rent in a city of 800k ppl, if you are foreigner forget about competing with locals

If you want to live in nottinghill you have to compromise a lot - depends if location is really that important to you - best of luck with your new home... if you did move west, welcome welcome - i've been here for 8 years :)

My guess is flat 5

I think you went for Flat 2 👀

Either flat 2 or 3 for sure!!

Beautiful and a nice vid. But let’s be realistic ur current rent and what ya looking for are actually not affordable, if you look into the average to a bit higher salaries in London. I don’t like to share as well.. I guess London needs lots of money haha

What’s the best apps use when looking for a apartment in London ?

Hi Monica! I am also moving to London shortly and really like your current flat :) Are you comfortable sharing the listing of your current flat?

NICEEEEE

As a Canadian considering the move for teaching starting in late August- would you recommend going over to London and getting an Airbnb for a while to tour apartments? I’d rather have the flat set up prior to flying there, but I’m SO nervous to get scammed. I have people in my teaching agency that can go and look at the flats, but I’m still unsure of this. Also, how do you get a damage deposit put down from overseas? Thank you for your help!!

Hello Monica! I have a question 🥺, how long does it normally take to move into a flat? I mean, if I have seen a flat that is available inmediatly and I want to move as soon as possible how long does it normally take? How much do I have to wait to move to the flat after I send the paperwork? Hope you see this! 😁😁 Thank you very much!

Monica, how did you goabout your long term visas now with the points based immigration system😢 ik that with the youth mobility visa you just need a lot of money lol but what if you intend to stay permanently😢

hi Monica, don't mind if I ask, I wonder what asian property agency did you use, as I feel like asian housing property agency are more easier and more preferable for me personally? Thanks !!

What flat did she go for?

Hi Monica! I’m thinking of moving to London from the U.S. for school - with my german shepherd! Do you know if places that allow dogs/large dogs common? Were any of the places you looked at pet friendly?

I don't live in london. I don't need a flat. I have a test tomorrow. Why am I watching your video? Because it feels like home.

You must have a good job that pays well

Which freakin flat did you choose? You said it was obvious ??

Hi! What app did you used to search for flats?

Hii! Loved your videos :) new house tour please?

um looking for some flats in london as well. will you be able to share some links of the websites you checked those flats please love

2 or 3 :)

Hey Monica, quick question does this flats in London include bills?

What website do you use for this?

Its not?? Aw damn lol n i wanna study there

Im shocked at how many foreigners are coming to London spending a fortune on pretty cr*ppy flats. No Offence but the areas you looked in are not nice areas and wouldnt be considered central residential London. You can find cheaper and better furnished in Zone 1 and 2. Its also cheaper if you get a 2 bed and share with someone. No way would i pay £1400 for a dinghy flat that doesnt even have carpets. I recommend people wanting central london vibes look at Hammersmith, Kensington, Barnes, Richmond, White City, Shepherds Bush Fulham, Chelsea etc. even Greenwich - not that near but nice area. West London is not that tricky to reach other areas of London and is much safer than east London plus there are plenty of parks in west london to relax in. Highgate area also gas villagey vibes. You have Westfield in White City. Btw not many people would go to Westminster Oxford Street Soho picadilly circus etc. those are all Areas for theatre and museums ie sightseeing. Only tourists shop in oxford street! The areas in this video are more like financial district areas in my opinion.

You are rich 1250£ per month is for rich ppl😂
