"Unappealing £1,295pm studio flat for 10 people, like the Big Brother house."

Living in a knock-off Polly Pocket compact.

October 21st 2024.

Are you in the market for a new place to call home? Well, look no further because this studio flat in Brighton might just be the one for you. It's one of ten properties up for rent at a reasonable price of £1,295 per month. Sounds like a steal, right? Well, before you get too excited, let's take a closer look at what this flat has to offer.

First of all, let's address the elephant in the room - the size. This studio flat is definitely not for someone who needs a lot of space. In fact, it's more like a game of Tetris gone wrong. But hey, if you're not too picky about sharing your personal space, then this might just be the place for you.

Now, let's talk about the decor. The walls are adorned with garish pink rose wallpaper, rainbows, and pink princess bed canopies. Not exactly everyone's cup of tea, but to each their own, right? And let's not forget the fake ivy hanging from the ceiling. It may not be to everyone's taste, but hey, at least it adds some greenery to the space.

But wait, there's more. The flat also comes equipped with artificial grass flooring. Yes, you read that right. And if you want to move in on the day of your viewing, you can do so for an extra £35. What a bargain, right? Oh, and let's not forget about the landlord's offer of guaranteed acceptance with no credit check and a low deposit of £250. It almost sounds too good to be true.

Now, let's get into the nitty-gritty details. The flat boasts four bunk beds, a single bed, and a sofa, which means you'll be sharing the space with others. And with only one bathroom and a miniature kitchenette, things might get a bit cramped. But hey, at least there's a small wooden table that can seat eight people. So, there's that.

The listing for this unique flat was recently posted on Reddit's Spotted on Rightmove thread, leaving potential renters with many questions. Some even wondered if it was legal. And can you blame them? With the maximum occupancy listed as ten people, but only one bathroom, things seem a bit questionable.

And let's not forget about the comparison to the Big Brother House. Some even pointed out that it's more like a dormitory than a studio flat. And with the lack of a floor plan, it's hard to determine the actual size and layout of the property. This raises concerns about compliance with housing regulations and overcrowding.

In fact, according to the Nationally Described Space Standard, a one-bedroom unit should be at least 37 square metres. And as this property is classified as a House in Multiple Occupation, it must adhere to strict regulations and may even require a license from the council.

We have reached out to the Brighton and Hove City Council for comment on this unique property. But in the meantime, if you have a story to share about your own experiences with renting, we would love to hear from you. Just shoot us an email at the address provided.
