A studio flat in London is now available to rent for a rare price of less than £1,000 per month (£975) – but there’s a catch.
Located in Westway, west London, enjoying a prime location opposite Hammersmith Hospital and nestled between two underground stations – East Acton and White City – the price seems relatively low.
But stepping inside might clear a few things up.
The tiny flat boasts just one room, with a single bed in one corner, a wardrobe in the other, and a ‘kitchen’ just inches from the end of the bed.
It currently also has two foldaway chairs in lieu of a living area.
Any budding chefs, look away now…
The miniscule kitchen area comes equipped with a sink, two-ring electric hob, microwave and a small fridge – no oven in sight.
A pokey bathroom also comes with the studio, with a shower, sink and toilet crammed into the small space.
There is no garden or parking available and is for working professionals or students only.
The listing, posted on OpenRent, reads: “A modern ground floor studio flat with front open space, located on a A40 Westway, yet located moments away from East Acton Station, local shops and amenities.
“The property benefits from gas central heating and double glazing, a modern fitted kitchen refrigerator, oven, hob and shared washing machine.
“Recently refurbished to a high standard move in available immediately ! Working professionals & students only.”
Despite the eye-watering price, there is one saving grace – bills are included in the price, including WiFi.
If you’re happy to feel packed in like a sardine every day, remember to keep in mind that you’re committed to six months – the minimum tenancy length at this property.
You’ll also need to cough up a deposit of £1,125. Tempted?
The studio is available to rent from 31 August with OpenRent.
