Cost to live in Camden
Find somewhere you can afford
Renting in Camden and central London is very expensive, and unaffordable for most families on average pay or getting welfare benefits. Rents tend to be cheaper in east and south east London. Prices outside of London are much cheaper.
Deposits and rent in advance
Most private landlords ask for a deposit and at least one month’s rent payment in advance. If you’re claiming job seekers allowance or income support you may be able to apply for a budgeting loan to pay for rent in advance.
Don’t part with money for fees, deposit or rent in advance without getting a signed and dated receipt with the name, address and telephone number of the owner or agent that you are dealing with.
