    Flat hunting in London is the absolute ghetto. Lucky you are 2, makes it a lot easier. I'm all by myself and it hasn't been pleasant. I pray I get someone to share soon.

    I just came across your video, eye opening! I'm from London but lived 6 years in Tokyo and now living in Singapore. My apartment in Singapore which is classed as one of the most expensive cities in the world is bigger, has a pool, gym, 24 hour security and walking distance to main shopping hub is cheaper than all the apartments in your video. Also our Tokyo apartment was bigger and cheaper! It's crazy how expensive London is now! I really can't see myself ever living back there again. All the best though in your new apartment!

      Yep completely understand! When I lived in Singapore and HK I LOVED all the high rises and it was something I was looking for when I moved back to london. Cos it’s not really a thing in London, they can get away with charging absolute craziness for prices. How long have you lived in Singapore? I need to come back to visit! I miss it so much!! Xx

    I haven't finished the video yet but i'm just seeing your requirements and they seem insane! Like not insane as in bad, but as in impossible to find an apartment with all of those non negotiables. I'm about to start apartment hunting and I feel that the only thing i can "ask for" (as in non-negotiables) is like a window and a stove 😭

    • @doubledoseofchi
      @doubledoseofchi  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yea I know what you mean! I think because we’ve lived in the area and we know what we like, we know what is and isn’t feasible and basically want something similar. How’s your apartment hunting going? Xx

      i agree for the money that they have for Battersea and the non negotiables it’s quite extreme.

    Gosh your don’t get a lot for your money nowadays. I’m so happy I brought my house years ago. To be honest if I had to buy my house now I definitely wouldn’t be able to it. I definitely could afford to rent now. Can I ask why if your gonna pay that kinda rent why you not buying? 😊

      @doubledoseofchi  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

      We actually have two houses and in the process of buying 2 more but in london, buying a house in these types of locations isn’t worth the investment, in our opinion. We like the convenience of being able to change locations and not being tied to one spot xx
