Me and my boyfriend (F&M20) live with his grandparents and have for around 8 months or so, they told us recently that they’re selling the house to downsize so we’re looking to rent a flat. We’re from the northeast to give you an idea of costs and we have around £1500 saved between us (my boyfriends job went into liquidation recently so our savings took a hit as we pay board and buy our own shopping and necessities etc). I’m trying to find a flat that won’t break my bank too much but I feel like £1500 isn’t a lot of money to start with, could I make this work?? I make around £2100 a month after tax and im nervous that this is coming so quick and I’m biting off more than I can chew but moving back into my parents would be so stressful as they live so far away from my work and i don’t drive. Has anyone else been in similar situations??
