North/South Shocking Rental Difference

[EvianBaby]

I'm currently looking for a house to rent with a budget of about £650. In the area I live, I will get for that a cluster house with 2 beds and a small garden if I'm really lucky. As the garden thing is really important then I'm more likely to find a one bed house for that price.

Went to visit my brother and SIL who have recently moved to Grantham and are renting for a short time. They happen to also be paying £650 a month for their house. The difference is for their money they get three bedrooms, huge kitchen, conservatory, big rooms and approx an acre of land. Oh and not for forget the gardener thrown in. All in a really lovely village setting but within a few minutes of the town.

I don't really have a question. I just wanted to have a good old sulk about it.

cazzz - it may be unique, but the image I posted is decades old - believe me when I say it is grey and tired looking and the people of the city want it gone.

its sad that it has been left to get into a poor state of repair, too many places are being levelled in order to create yet another identikit shopping area.
