Here's what £1,000 in rent gets you around the world
With the recent news that Londonhouse prices have increased by £255,000 since 2005, it's no surprise that the capital is home to eye-wateringly expensive rental prices too.
But it's not the only place in the world where you'll have to shell out a small fortune to get a roof over your head.
We've take a look at rent prices around the world to see what approximately £1,000 a month will get you in various different countries, although obviously prices and sizes vary with area and neighbourhood.
Rio De Janeiro, Brazil
5,000 Brazilian Reais (£811) will get you two bedrooms in the popular Copacabana region of the city.
London, England
In the capital £975 will get you a compact studio flat near one of the homes of the British royal family, Kensington Palace.
Nairobi, Kenya
Spending 150,000 Kenyan shillings (£919) in Nairobi will give you a two bedroom property in the Westlands area of the city.
Tokyo, Japan
If you're willing to fork out 185,000 Japanese Yen (£999) in Tokyo you could nab yourself a three bedroom property in the Suginami district.
Cairo, Egypt
In the Zamalek area, 11,738 Egyptian pounds (£970) will get you a two bedroom property.
Moscow, Russia
100,000 Rubles (£976) will get you a three bed pad in the Presnensky district.
New York City, United States
Similar to London, spending $1,595 (£1,033) in the Big Apple will leave you with a cosy studio appartment found near the popular East River area.
Kathmandu, Nepal
On a slightly different note, 150,000 Nepalese Rupees (£921) will get you a whopping four bedroom, five bathroom house in Sunakothi, Lalitpur.
So for those of us thinking London might be getting a little too pricey, or if the Big Apple's out of your budget, how about considering relocating!
