Can you rent such a flat for a higher price in Manchester?

Sell House Quick

no questions about VISAs please, I am entitled to stay that long. It’s a much needed and deserved long holiday break
I have never shared a flat with complete strangers however, I would do that through a reputable estate agent, as I am a little terrified of living on my own in LA. What do you think?

Rent Back

So im 18 and a full time student and i work part time. I want to rent a flat by myself due to circumstances at home. The council says Im not entitled to any benefits whatsoever (Meanwhile the wasters get everything under the sun i.e. money house etc. and the junkies get FREE taxis to get their FREE methodone because they spent HARDWORKING peoples tax money on drugs!!!!).

They say Im not allowed anything because Im doing a HND at college, but college is closed for almost 3months for summer so technically I wont be a student then…will I? Am i entitled to things like housing benefit during those 3 months Im “not a student”

Ive worked it all out and with the money I make I wouldnt be able to afford moving into a flat by myself until i went back to college in september but I dont think I can wait that long :-/

So wot I want to know is if Im entitled to anything … doesnt matter how small amount, in this case “every little helps” :p
hey i can work in the summer holidays but what i earn wont cover the cost of rent, gas, electricity, food etc. thats why i wanted to get housing benefit to make up part of my rent…considering they dont make junkies and wasters pay any rent i thought i would at least get some towards the cost of mine. Ive just decided to sit tight at home until “further notice” lol

Sell and Rent Back

US boyfriend (met internet Jan 2008 but have phone/photo/gift proof genuine relationship) refused first entry to UK April 2008 “insufficient funds/believed he would not return to US”. I visited US four weeks ago on Visa Waiver - proposed (SPONTANEOUS - Valentine’s week) AND married! Extended my visit one week to do so.
ME - returned to UK as per plane ticket and to file Visa etc properly but not sure if him to UK or me to US. I am 40, he is 28. After 22 years full-time office admin work, temporary sickness - on benefits for few months (back in work by end of year). No savings/other properties/other income - currently rent small studio flat in UK. Also have long term medical care needs - lifelong anti-coagulants for 2 cases of pulmonary embolism - requires regular monitoring.
HE - lives in US with long-term family friends (who own house) - have offered us accomodation 6 months/1 year/more to get on feet in US. Husband receives disability pension (SSI Survivors $1224 monthly) from late father (husband has Tourettes/OCDs - cannot work in normal environment). He will receive SSI forever, wherever he lives in world (true). Has no other income. Wants, and is trying for online business.So there is our situation. Not unlike a lot of people, I am sure. What are our best/fastest options? UK or USA?
Response to MadMan - thanks for the miserable answer! I don’t need to support him in the UK. He has his own money every month AND my sickness is temporary only, which is well in my favour.

I am moving for some years at least, with my wife and a newborn baby. I would be looking for a 2 bedroom flat to rent, in a nice, quiet place.
I am thinking to a budget in the £300 per week range.
I will be working in the city, and I would like to commute in no more than 30 minutes.
Nursery and school availability is also important. Is there a difference in quality depending on where you live in London?

i understand that the UK has a HUUGE population yet not much land area, i would think this would pose some issues when it comes to housing. even where i live ,where there is plenty of space housing is more expensive then i can afford but there are still many places in America where one could buy a home with a relatively low mortgage.
what does it cost to own a home in the UK, do most people rent? do most people live in apartments(flats i think you call them) how does it work out with so many people in such a small space!!?
