Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Shameful rental?
If you look at local rentals online, there are often overpriced flats with minimal space crammed in to poorly converted properties to be seen. But I wonder if one I saw today hits a new low — one room approximately 3 metres square (bed, washing machine, electric heater, minimal cooking facilities) plus shoehorned shower room, in a property apparently opposite the Salisbury, for rent at £1,500 a month plus council tax and bills. Am I just being naive in seeing this as shameful exploitation? (There’s a long link on Rightmove or a short one at https://propertyloop.co.uk/properties/kJVsGGZF )

Agreed, The going-rate seems to be around £900, though there are plenty at £800.
Like it or not, in most things we pay for, our system assumes that adults can navigate choosing between the averagely-priced and over-priced options. It's the same choice people are faced with here.
The mystery is, do flats advertised at this level of mark-up get rented at for the advertised price? If so, by who and why are they willing to pay so much? I'd be interested in some knowledge-based answers to this (not so much in soaraway-Sun style speculation).
