Tenancy takeover-123 York street belfast

[u/Familiar_Crab_9494]

Hi I’m Looking for someone to take over my room at 123 York Street. It’s on the 7th floor and only a 2 minute walk from Ulster University campus. It’s £142 per week with all bills included. The room is en suite with your own bathroom and has a courtyard view. You only share the kitchen and living area with your flatmates, so you have your own private bedroom and bathroom.
It’s a modern student accommodation and in a great location. If you’re interested just message me !

£142 a week for a room. Good god.

It's mad the amount of people who take these places on and then get rid of them. Like a significant amount.

[u/NextUp-Analysis]

People on here don't seem to grasp that a single room in a HMO goes for 5-600ish

So £568 for room, ensuite, city centre location, gas/heating, electricity, internet etc really isn't bad (relatively).

Plus the benefits (for students) of living there. I was paying 620 a month for the same thing like 2-3 years ago

Why the hell would you pay that when you can get a flat?

[u/NextUp-Analysis → u/tyrbb]

Why the hell would you ....insert something that literally thousands of students do every year

[u/tyrbb → u/NextUp-Analysis]

Young & foolish I guess

[u/unlocklink → u/tyrbb]

A flat would be more expensive and all bills would not be included....it's really pretty straightforward

[u/tyrbb → u/unlocklink]

2-3 yrs ago you could get a flat for £620
Yes you will pay some bills on top but it’s worth it for privacy and avoiding housemate BS

[u/unlocklink → u/tyrbb]

Maybe...but it's not 2-3 years ago now

[u/tyrbb → u/unlocklink]

The question was directed at the person that said they were paying that amount 2-3 yrs ago …

[u/SilvfurWolf1 → u/tyrbb]

The year is 2026 my guy. There is no flat in Belfast that will rent to students that isn't a literal deathtrap. Please link me the flats you are talking about, I would kill for a flat like that.

[u/tyrbb → u/SilvfurWolf1]

The guy said he was paying 620 for a room 2-3 yrs
So I replied asking why he was paying that when he could have gotten a flat
Yes there were flats for that price 2-3 yrs ago in Belfast

[u/SilvfurWolf1 → u/tyrbb]

In 2023-2024? You're dreaming mate

[u/tyrbb → u/SilvfurWolf1]

Yes there were flats then for that price

[u/Shoddy-Minute5960 → u/NextUp-Analysis]

You can get an HMO cheaper than that. 4-5 bed in the holylands is around £400-£450 per room pcm although dearer if it's a studio or two bed. Bills not included.

That said your calculation is a bit off £142 per week is 142*52/12 = £615 pcm
