London's WORST Rip-Off Apartments

- Published on Nov 12, 2020
- Instead of reacting to celebrity mansions to reacting to crazy houses we can't afford - I reacted to London's worst rip-off studio apartments and flats. Awful. Lovely city, awful prices.

Here I am, 18 years of age lying on my cabin bed, feeling like I'm being personally attacked by a man in a questionable hat
@Bailey Sandwich can't wait till my son is old enough imma build a castle 🤣🤣🤣
@kyle rooney lol we’re just some gays who have too much free time in lockdown it’s very class lmfao
@kyle rooney she a 10 months older than me
@LottieJ respect the loyalty hope the missus had a good 10th birthday bro
Will telling everyone to sub to Ciarán was genuinely the best shout he’s ever made, top tier stuff on this channel
Ciaran is hands down the better YT at this point
Should’ve been subscribed before smh
Bang on mate
I really want an estate agent to take you on a tour round these, let’s see how they sell this rubbish. It’s a crime.
In my experience they generally don't. It'll be a viewing you'll be conducting yourself with the estate agent following you around haha
Whenever i see the showers, all i can think about is how humid and moldy those apartments must be.
WORD. No mechanical ventilation is just a crime 😭
This is like homes under the hammer but the presenter is honest
Boy have I seen some horror stories they call a home on that 'Homes Under The Hammer'. 😄😊
@Captain Wowzerz hahahah lmao
More like homes while hammered.
love this mate! this should be a series with other big cities i.e NYC, Sydney etc
@nathan. Glasgow’s one of the most accepting cities in the world? And it’s reasonable to live there I rent a big 1 bedroom flat in an old tenement building it’s huge for £250 a month surrounded by all the transport and amenities I could ever need.
Glasgow would be amazingly bad
why do i feel scared looking at these flats. i feel like i'd get murdered in those places
Flats ?? These are awful bedrooms with a shower and kitchenette squeezed in 👎🏻 surely these ROOMS are illegal ??
It makes me feel like ill get an infection showering or sleeping there
Whenever i get a notification for this channel, i genuinely just smile
@The Random Cat you do you boo
Same
I start stomping and hitting my pets
same his videos give me will to live
@Kenny Thompson If you need help reach out and ask for it. There's plenty of people and organisations primed to help. 🙏
If you're really struggling and these 'rooms' are all you can afford, look into property guardianship - you'll get much bigger spaces, and almost definitely cleaner too. 👍
This is why everyone in London has a million roommates
the worst London flats have been my obsession for a while now, and with Ciaran's commentary? dream come true
would you pay £1000 to sleep in my garden for a month yes or no
You are lovely but nope!
As long as I get a good view 0_0
jk
Yes
Would I be sub-letting?
Hmmm..maybe tho i dont wanna freeeeze 😅😝
You need to do the tiny apartments/flats in NYC! It’s actually crazy and even more depressing! Great video! Hilarious!
As someone who studied up north, these prices make me want to throw up. Could get an absolute castle for £600/m in Leeds
Can we get a - staying the worse flat in London for 24hrs as a follow up? Haha 😂 loved this x
@illessi yeah like people will be looking for apartments for that price which is ridiculous cuz of the quality but they need it instead of renting it for a video
I mean the cheapest one is probably cheap enough that it wouldn't be a big deal to rent it for a month. It's kind of morally gray though I suppose.
@I AM CARA thats air bnb not renting an apartment
@adea llapashtica ... ever heard of air bnb? haha.
U cant rent a flat for a day 😐
ciarán just gave bbc/tlc their next idea for a show-
That’s nothing compared to the shit they get away with in student accommodation! Looked at one house for 6 people (£253 pcm each). It was 4 stories high, extremely narrow, had ladders instead of stairs, and the best bit, a single outside toilet and bath shared by two neighbours. It was the only toilet in the whole house.
The one dislike just started renting one of these places
Me watching this video in my just over 400pcm east england town uni accomodation:
what do you mean heating is essential?
You call that mould? We have both black and orange mould
You want white or grey walls? Mine are jelly bean Orange.
That shower looks decent sized imo why there is no curtain at all scares me though
9:07 clearly pictures taken from the landlords dodgy non-disclosed security cams 😂💀
We need to get Ciarán to a level where he can hire Will as an editor.
From London, and looking at rent prices in the North compared to here it genuinely just feels like they're giving houses away up there.
Ey up
Considering no one wants to live in the north, I understand
Is it bad that I’d happily live in most of these places. No I’m not homeless
Same. Anything is good enough if you can live in it.
ikr i quite like the one at 8:20
No one:
Ciaran: I don't trust microwaves
Would love this as a series or something similar.
Oh my god literally one of the only people that can have me pissing with laughter for an entire video! Your humour is amazing! Keep doing what you’re doing ❤️
Very relatable content, Makes me feel very glad I moved to East London where you can get a room that's normal sized for £750 a month :')
Ciàran Carlin: from Tik Tok reactor to home reviewer.
By Christmas, we'll be hearing "Tonight, on Gop Tear."
(Avoid copyright at all costs)
“Makes the room bigger, doesn’t it?” I laughed so hard 😂😂😂
I’ve never been compelled to comment on one of your videos Ciarán, but this one had me chuckling (out loud, for reals) after a rubbish day at work. So thank you 👌🏼💕
Lmao when I was looking for a room in London I saw the worst studios / rooms, these are pretty descent to what I’ve viewed haha, I once viewed a room from spare room but the pictures didn’t do it justice so when I viewed it i realised there’s no window! It can’t get worse than that haha
Watching this while sitting in front of my bills for mortgage, electricity and heating repair bills to convince myself that buying a house instead of continuing to rent was the right decision...
Two years of mortgage payments done, fourteen more to go. 😰 Being an adult blows!
This made me laugh so hard my partner after asked me to get off the bed as it was shaking so much. Watched the rest from the floor with a pillow. Worth it.
excuse me
Imagine having to remove the toilet roll from the loo every time you wanna shower
And your toothbrush
Just use your hand
no need for a roll, just use the shower as a bidet
I lived in the first "apartment " for over a year. Super damp, no real window(couldn't open it) only a mini fridge and microwave. $450-500. It cost more in the U.S.
Love this video , I love looking at houses it’s like the adult version of looking through the argos catalogue
this video had me laugh-crying all the way through
1. because it was hilarious
2. because I wanted to move to London for my second year of uni
please do another one!
These look like when your 13 and you think you’ve made the best house in Sims 3
HOW do i grow to love Ciarań more and more each absurd, yet brilliant video idea 🤣
As someone who's looking into moving back to the city on a budget I would genuinely consider almost all of these LMAO
Really interesting video. I always wondered how on earth people with low paying/minimum wage live in London. eg. someone in a Tesco express or whatever in central London. Now I know, it all makes sense haha.
You're a 1 in a million mate, fully respect you & love your content!
BIG UP BRUM!
You should do this for other cities, just to show how much of a rip off London actually is
"The answer to ANY question is NEVER yellow" Finally someone I can agree with
Solid vid. I reckon one about NY would be interesting - especially if you just convert the prices here into dollars and then search.
I’d love more of these. Also how about comparing London with somewhere up north or rural
oh God, I'd love to see if $600 could even get you ANYTHING in LA. 😂
i havnt laughed this hard in a long time. Thanks hun!
Bro I would binge watch a whole 6 seasons of this. Please make it a series. You got zoopla, on The market, gumtree, Facebook market, etc. Your reactions are really good
As someone whose lived in london my whole life it baffles me that some people will pay to live in a shithole just to be surrounded by posh rich pricks whose dogs cost more than all your worldly possessions.
i really dont know why people dont just get a nicer place in the outskirts of london thats actually habitable and just commute or just rent with other people in a bigger place
When I rent a flat i want it to be Ciarán shag approved ✅
I’ve never laughed so much in my life until I seen this video
I recently moved to a new place in Paris and all of the student's budget-friendly appartments are exactly like the ones you show. In some cases, you have to share bathroom with the other departments on the floor.
I don't know how I feel about having my shower just in the bedroom/living room. I would much rather have the places with a wet room.
Just a thought, i think you should’ve done a comparison video of around the country to see what value for money you get at different areas🤷🏽♂️
Can you do most expensive apartments in london?
Worst part is I can imagine myself living in all of these 🙂
Try looking at the apartments they have in Shanghai, some of them literally only fits a bed...
£400 a month, you can live in the dark and have a Rustlers. Brilliant!
Made me laugh out loud!
This is great, though I can't help but feel something must be done about all this.
I 100% agree with your stance on microwaves. Just cook with an oven or stove...
I keep saying it but Ciaran deserves a lot more. Most underrated youtuber out there
If you want to feel better about budget living arrangements in London, look at Hong Kong...
You should do Oslo. I'm from Norway, and live in Oslo - I fucking love the place, but we also are known for being the most expensive place to live. Check it out - would be fun to see!
It’s 2am and I can’t stop laughing. You are hilarious 🤣💀.
You should do one on Honolulu, Hawai’i. I hear their housing is pretty expensive.
Me: a 17 year old who still has a cabin bed because my room is the size of a shoe box and I need the storage space 😳
I live in Wallasey and it’s £425 for a big 2 bed house with a garden. I cannot comprehend London prices.
At least half of these rooms probably have a lounge room or balcony which ... I did not, was great being an Aussie in London 👍
Im shocked by the layouts of these places. Random stand up showers in the middle in the whole room? Right next to the stove *and* bed?!
Absolutely hillarious man 😂 great content!
Really genuinely worried I was going to see a flat I recognised 😭
That's the funniest vid I've seen in months. Lot's of love from Greece ❤️
The commando crawl had me in tears 😂
Do a Dublin,Ireland version because cost of rent here is insane !
How have I never seen this guy before?!! It was like finding the missing sock to my favorite pair.
Now I feel slightly better about my £70 a week student accommodation where I have to share a bathroom and a kitchen with 6 other people I don’t really like
I’m from Birmingham, and at 10:15 I was praying he wasn’t going to say the dreaded city, unfortunately he did. 😐
mate i love that hat i would buy it off you if i had the money
4:13 made me laugh so much keep up the work
his channel should honestly get more recognition
the content is soo gud
the should 100% be laws about the quality of living spaces for rent and the amount of space a person needs
You should definitely do a most expensive one in London
This was great, didnt realise how common it is to have a shower in the living room xDD
As a broke ass who’s been trying to move to London, this video makes me feel so seen 😂😂😭
IS THERE A TOILET IN A SINGLE ONE OF THESE?
Edit- Okay there's at least 1
Big mistake watching this while eating, I laughed so much I almost choked to death
it has been so long since i’ve laughed, even smiled at a youtube video and i was in bits at this
The most honest channel on TheXvid and I love it
You should compare the same prices in London and then look at what you can get for the same price in Hull.... It's honestly ridiculous haha!
“At no point should you be level with your ceiling light” my god 😂😂😂
PLEASE DO THIS AGAIN IT WAS SO GOOOD!!!
i'm " I thought I was dying just because I am really unfit" on a whole other level
If someone asked me what are you proud about in the U.K, I would say the Ciarán Carlin channel on TheXvid.
You should do this for student houses in the different cities in the UK
Man your videos always make me belly chuckle, so funny
These videos are the best. Make my day. 😂
He needs way more views and subscribers. 😂
So funny.
Lmao wow our Capital is well out of control! I'm over here in a three bedroom actual house in the East Midlands for under £600 pcm and seeing what that would get me in Landan Taaaahn is depressing but hilarious thanks to our boi Ciaran
This makes my £800/month London student accommodation look like a mansion
He is just the person everyone wants as a mate!
Oh God do I sound like a Karen when I say I've lived in a place like this when desperate and struggling. I hated it I was embarrassed and if I'd have heard all this then I'd have broken down.
