In Britain, how much would an average apartment rent for?
I’m planning to move there during college at Oxford. I’ll need a job and a place and want to know how much and average rent is. And what about minimum wage?
In Oxford a one-bedroomed flat would probably cost you £750 – £1,000 a month, sorry but it’s really expensive. You’d be best off looking to share a house with other students which will still set you back the best part of £400 – £500 a month I’m afraid.
As for minimum wage, assuming you are over 18 at the moment it’s £5.05 an hour and will rise to £5.35 an hour in October. So it won’ t pay the rent on a flat of your own after taking off tax and National Insurance and it certainly won’t pay for gas, electricity, water, council tax and food as well.
rent is 1700 pounds a month.

Oxford is quite an expensive place to live
If I were you I’d try to find somewhere where you could flat/house share. It’ll most likely be the only way you could afford to do it.

Dpends where you live. In Preston it is roughly £400 for a flat and £500 for a house.
