Moving out

[Alpha-9]

Dear BCF,

I want to get the hell out my parents house. Not that we don't get along or anything, I get on with them better than ever now really - but i'm 22 this year, got a decent thing going at work and feel it's time to fly the nest (again)

This time I wont have a dumb broad girlfriend to move in with so it's going to be pretty hard going if i'm on my own.

I was looking at studio apartments and a lot seem to be for students, whats the deal with these? Is there any legalities involved that they must be a student? I mean, if they're paying the rent, who cares?

Or is student accommodation something set up via grants etc. specifically made cheaper so students can live closer to their uni which only students can live in
I assume that's the case, in which I wouldn't feel right about conning some student accommodation...

Seems all houses etc. come in about £500 a month basic rent, I make not much over a grand a month so could afford with some cutbacks on gadgets and goodies, but would be much better with a room-mate. Problem is, my mates are bums! They like living at home on the cheap and most only work a couple of days a week

I don't see how people can have no motivation to move out, I feel like a sadact still living with my parents and my room is so fucking small since we moved it's grinding on me. I want my double bed back D:

I have moved out before to a flat in town when I was with the long-term ex, but that was £750 basic rent so took the piss really!

It's difficult in not knowing where i'll be with work 6 months down the line either as i'm a temp on a sort of rolling contract

Dunno, any advice with moving out guys?
How about living with strangers?

Wouldn't fancy having some chinese bloke stand and shit all over the toilet seat like some of the horror stories i've heard on here!

The student house thing.

Its been a while since I was a student (think the 90s)

Its something to do with council tax. Students don't pay council tax. But only if all the people in the house are students.

Why not look to be a lodger or something? Granted you might wake up one night hearing a fapping sound open your eyes and see him jerking off onto your face or sommat. But Clanger has some good lodgering experience. I've had some OK living like that as well.

Not all council places are in sucky areas you know.

You'd very likely have no chance of a council place.
They do have a bidding system thing these days though so who knows.
Council houses used to be the norm for everyday folk ('til the tories sold them off).

Cardiff Council used to have a hard-to-let list that was open to all as no buggar wanted the areas they were in.

Why lodge with strangers when you get the same deal but more familiar at home?

Bedsits
Caravan Park?
School caretaker? need a change of job there though

Definitely look into lodging, maybe post some adverts "Single 22 year old male, fit, attractive, seeks broad minded mature landlady with flexible approach to rent."

Dont rule out a house share. I lived in a house of students (i was working full time), it was a very relaxed house and I've never had a better social life. The rent etc was as cheap as you will find, and there isn't much to spend money on as most furniture is shared. Granted I knew everyone else who lived there prior to moving in, but I loved it.

Don't rent with friends..

I just ended a 10 year friendship via kicking him out.. Caught him wanking & it's not something I want to see. Plus he's a dumb fuck and annoying as hell.

Depending on whether you were happy to move elsewhere, I have a room you can have for a mere £200 a month, you get a shared shower, a kitchen and a private (obv) bedroom. Interwebs access and a key.

Simple, basic but there

You know what I mean Roger

Its down south, plenty of jobs here

I was checking out some house sharing sites and a nice one has come up in Leicester, the guy seems like a decent chap and is only asking for £60pw with all bills included (and internet!)

Worries about house sharing:
Sharing a bathroom/toilet - Coming around to the idea, depending on the housemates, don't feel comfortable knowing some grotbag might be using my razors on his asshole when i'm not looking

Noise - I don't know if they'll be sound nazis or loud as fuck themselves, i'm all for being considerate and wearing headphones, but come friday night I should be allowed to enjoy myself with some audible fun/ladies

Dunno, there's nothing you guys can really tell me i'll have to speak to the guy, he asked if I wanted to view it which I did want to, but my GOD DAMN BIKE STILL ISNT FIXED.

Garage is now saying next week sometime ffs, they said that last week and now I NEED it for the new site i'm working at from monday.
Grr.

well with all due respect, even if i was house sharing with mates (which i basically did. i had a 3 bedroom bungalow and left the back doors open for mates to come n go as alot of them where in unstable family's) i kept my personal "bathing and grooming" items in my bedroom and left a pack of disposable cheap stuff (soaps, mini body wash's, razors, shaving cream, you know, the basic stuff) in the bathroom for people to use if they needed to clean up for what ever reason.

course then my landlord found out, wasnt best pleased and kicked me the fook out despite keeping the place spik and span (except for that fire extinguisher that got let off in the shed.....mwahahaha)

(P.S to the dude that said about the annoying as fuck mate, my statement above, THATS what mates do! not annoy the fuck outta each other)

Another for house sharing, I'm by far the worst for clearing up in this place, and I'm not that bad really. Seen lots of people come and go in the three and a half years I've been here, not had any real bad experiences though. (One time I forgot my keys, the guy who opened the door had a 6 inch hunting knife in his hand hidden behind the door, was obviously expecting somebody unfriendly!. That's about the worst that's happened!).

Do it, you (probably) wont regret it.
