Moving out (18) ...UK?

Question

I am 18, and I really want to move out and maybe move a couple of miles away from my hometown, I would be moving out alone how much would it cost to rent a one bedroom flat or something what’s the best option

Answer 1

First answer:

It depends on what financial income you have. I mean moving out is extremly expensive, unless you want to live in a shack. Seriously i know home sucks but save some money get a secure job and then wait. Its a good time to buy on the other hand as house prices are low...but living costs are high, your food, gas, electricty...youre going to need a lot of money. Plus it might be slightly depressing, move where you know people if you really got too.

Second answer:

solves the solution above. Become a student. Not on your own, you can move to places like stoke-great uni, amazingly cheap-£45 a week rent in some cases. Then you get a degree chances of a better job and can move somewhere much nicer!

Answer Three:

Move in with students(there always looking for lodgers) you dont have to be a student...this way you make friends get the student life without the student debt!  

Answer 2

It depends on where your hometown is. Don't forget that if you want to live on your own, rent is just one part of costs. You'll have to pay council tax, eletricity, gas, water rates, as well as food for yourself. Seriously, its not as easy or cheap as it sounds.
