How do IB analysts afford to live in London?

Recently started as a first-year analyst as a BB here in London and I'm really struggling to understand how people afford to live here in London. My base is £70k a year, which equals about 5,800 a month and a bit over £4,000 after taxes. 


Apartments in general are extremely outdated and look like what you would see in movies showcasing apartments in the Soviet Union during the 70s / 80s. It seems that a 1-bed apartment in a somewhat central place that is even a bit modern (not luxurious in any way, just modern with very basic and cheap materials) is £2,500-3,000+. This doesn't really leave much over even with a high-paying job like banking. How do people afford to live here and where do people live?


Really don't wanna spend 100 hours a week in the office just to spend the little free time I have in an apartment looking like some Russian ghetto apartment from the 70s / 80s. 

 

1. Many people share. That will significantly reduce costs. A 1 bed in my building costs 60-80% more per person than a 3 bed of the same specification.

2. If you're looking at 1 beds that are 2.5-3k a month, then you're probably looking in a pretty expensive location or a new build. Most people do not live in central central London. Outskirts of zone 1, all the way up to edge of zone 2 is a normal area.

Everyone else manages fine (in fact more than fine), that should tell you something about your expectations.

 

I'm not from London originally and not from a wealthy family. I'm from the Nordics but have also lived across Europe (France, Italy and Germany). I've never came across apartments that are so outdated or of such low quality in the Nordics or in Europe. Neither have I came across the concept of people working high-salary jobs sharing apartments with other people. In Europe, it's pretty uncommon to even share apartment with someone when you're a student. 

Was just trying to see if I missed something obvious but maybe the housing in London is just much more expensive and of lower quality than in other major European cities. For example, in Frankfurt I rented a newly built 1-bed luxurious apartment on floor 25 of a skyscraper in the middle of the city for £1,000 a month.

 

It's common to share apartments here when you're a student too. But you've moved to one of the most expensive cities in the world, and you have to adjust for that. This is not Frankfurt, it's London - also rental prices have skyrocketed over the past 2 years. The apartments you're looking at now were probably 30%+ cheaper 2 years ago. 

Also 1 beds in London are pretty much priced for couples.

I mean you can check on this forum too, the Americans will also be talking about sharing apartments in NYC to live close to work. That said, the people I know who live alone have to be willing to sacrifice for it. That means either having less disposable income by paying higher rent or living further out - although normally it's a mix of both. It's up to you.

I think a lot of Brits are in denial about how miserable England and English standard of living really is, especially when you compare to the US or a similar country. I too found their apartments in London to be pretty paltry, and I grew up middle class in Canada.

1. House sharing is common in Germany and France. I lived in Paris in a three bed flat as a consultant, an associate from DB, and someone from wealth management. I lived in Hamburg with a bunch of software engineers and product managers. 

2. Why are you comparing Frankfurt to London? You should be comparing Frankfurt to another secondary city such as Sheffield or Manchester.

This is just a straight up lie. The apartments in Stockholm built in the 60s and 70s look a lot like the "outdated" ones you talk about in London... And they make up the majority of apartments as well - and they're all privately owned and run. 

 

Most Analysts will start living within walking distance, typically in East/South London in a flat share. Conditions as you mentioned aren't great, but for £0.9-1.2k/month it's good enough given you're in the office most of the time, and in the gym for some time if not.

Heading west you get a bump in rent, up to the £1.5k range for a house share, for those who prefer a nicer area. 

Your £2.5-3k is for 'not a sh*thole', and people don't really stay there as solo occupants (typically couples). The problem is London has an insane housing shortage that I doubt this will drop anytime soon... in general single apt in nicer areas will run £2k at least...

The idea for those who plan to stay in the city is to pay less rent and have an earlier chance to hop on the property ladder. Imo, paying 2.5-3k makes no sense for the little time staying there. You'll be living paycheck to paycheck.

 

It's pretty insane that even working in the highest-paying field there is, you will be living paycheck to paycheck if you even want to be living alone as an adult. Even making £70k a year in London if you wanna live alone you're left with £1-1.5k a month to cover all your other expenses and you will by no means be living in a palace. More likely, you will be living in a 30-40 square metre apartment in zone 2 that was refurbished 10-15 years ago. Feeling like I am living lower middle / middle class life despite making a ton of money simply because housing is so expensive and yet low quality. Can totally see why so many people go back to their home countries after 1-2 years here.

 

Yeah agree, it's absolutely insane. That's why when you meet people from outside London in the U.K, if you say you're earning 100k they think you're millionaire level. In reality, still saving up for property.

But it's the hand we're dealt, nothing's getting better anytime soon. It's no surprise people in the U.S. think we're crazy for doing this job for the comp we get lol.

 

Wow, I am from New York, and this looks bad. Even from a New York perspective…and we complain about housing prices nonstop. How do the non-finance Londoners survive, honestly?

I am sorry but this is highkey nonsense, in London and if a grad was living alone that would be way more suprising than someone in a flat share (even the absolutely wealthiest guys I work with who could afford it chose not to for the first few years).

Also I have worked with a sizeable amount of French, Dutch, Swedish, Italian, etc co-workers and they absolutely shared places when they were students in their respective countries. For christ sakes, in Amsterdam its a huge story that students are living in tents due to the housing crisis. 

I mean this in the nicest way possible coming from a guy who deplores the state of UK (and global) housing conditions but the post sounds like it comes from a out-of-touch kid who didn't even notice people back home were living in shared places. You are making 2x the national salary at 21 with just your base, go share a sh** apartment with a buddy and you will laugh back when you think about it in a few years

 

Massive amount of cope when they figure it out that the pay used 2x higher and cost of living 2x less

 

At least Ldn is a better city than NYC. You don't risk the chance of either getting shot, get p*ssed on or get whacked by a psycho in NYC whilst living in a crumbly rat-infested hellhole.

 

Amen to that, would never wanna live in the US. Would be too scared to even have kids in such a messed up society.

 

Oh, you mean being stabbed doesn't count? Guys, you should travel more! I won't compare London to Paris, but Dublin, Frankfurt, and other European cities are far safer, not to mention the Middle East and Asia.In New York, it also depends on where you live...I know spots in London, such WhiteChappel (Square Mile), where I wouldn't want to be at night.t.OH stabbing happening so often even on Oxford St.

 

Ehmm, have you seen all of the violent thefts that have been happening lately, can’t go out after 8pm with your Rolex.

I’ve lived in a mouldy flat as a student and there is absolutely no protection or obligation for the landlord to fix it.

The US ain’t perfect but Brits are stupid to think it’s any better here, just different issues (with a lower salary, grads starting at 30k in London is quite common).

 

Surely with appreciation it beats stocks still? London averaged a 5.9% annual appreciation rate for the last 10 years. Assuming 4x leverage thats >20% IRR before even considering rental yields

 

Only been here for 2 months and also considering moving back to my home country. Struggling to see the point of working 100-hour weeks just to live a lower middle / middle-class life. 

Just to give some examples..

This is what you can rent in the middle of Stockholm for £1100 a month. This is a sub-let so it's 20-30% more expensive than if you would rent the same apartment directly from the landlord.

https://qasa.se/p2/sv/home/646831/

This is what 55-60 square meter apartments for £400-500k in the middle of Stockholm look like.

Might be difficult to understand how big the difference in quality and price is vs. the rest of Europe if you're Brittish so thought I'd provide some examples...

 

I don't understand how continental Europeans are only just discovering that one of the most expensive cities in the world has expensive housing... Londoners are all too aware of how expensive housing is compared to not just other European cities but to other cities in the UK.

You could do the same thing you've done above comparing London to Birmingham or Manchester.

Or comparing NYC to any city in Texas etc.

Why didn't you do research on housing before moving? 

Unless you've been here since 07, this is all things you should have known before accepting a job there.

 

Nah, you’re looking at central. Check out west london or even east (though I’d recommended you be a bit more cautious about where exactly in east) but with 1.5-2k, you should be fine. If you find 2-3 other friends, you could get a decent place whist only paying around 1.2-1.4k

 

Brits are delusional, we’re paying £2,400 (inc. utilities, council tax, insurance, etc) for a 1b1b in the East. If I wasn’t splitting these costs with my gf I’d be spending a sizeable part of my income on that.

It’s nothing fancy either but people in their 30s are still flat sharing and nobody bats an eye. But yeah, keep saying that everything is fine so landlords can get away with putting mouldy appartements on the market.

 

Yeah, totally agree. Sharing apartments with people when you are in your upper 20s making £100k+ a year is by no means normal. It's also insane that people need to spend over 50% of their net salary to be able to live alone and even then it's in a very very basic apartment that is like 30-40 square meters. 

Mostly, I am absolutely shocked by the ridiculous building quality. Apartments here have extremely poor sound / heat isolation. You're lucky if your hot shower lasts for more than 5-10 minutes before it turns into an ice bath. The quality of the materials is also super bad and the way things are installed is under all critique. Where I come from, the builder would probably end up in court if quality was this low.

Had a contractor here who is originally from Bulgaria he told me that even compared to Bulgaria the building quality here in London was absolutely trash. The UK is a pretty rich country, so very difficult to understand why building quality and overall standard of homes is so extremely low even in the capital city. Have lived in 5 countries and never seen anything like this but it seems Brittish people don't really have any issues with it. They're just used to it I guess...

 

No one is saying that everything is fine, people are just saying this is reality. You can complain and moan and whatever all you want but this is reality and you complaining isn't going to change that. People already have cost of living protests, and look where that got us - fucking nowhere. You think bankers doing the same thing is going to illicit more sympathy?

Landlords "getting away with it" is irrelevant. Who do you think you're competing with property for? People that can and will pay more than you lol. As long as these people exist, landlords can charge a premium to other places. This is what happens when you live in a city like London, HK, NYC

No one is delusional, everyone knows it's expensive and worse value (property-wise) than other places.

 

There is no substance in your comment, what are you suggesting then?

I’m proposing a tighter control and better protection laws for tenants - if you spend >50% of your salary on rent you should at least live in a decent place (not the case today).

I’m making 6 figures so the CoL crisis doesn’t affect me too much but for people making 40k that’s not the same story.

 

You actually share in London so you can save and built some support network. Even many professionals, if they are still single and uncommitted in their 30s or 40s, share flats - especially in creative industries or just corporate jobs. Otherwise, people live quite outside - that is why you have quite decent railway service.

People who I know who have central London flats come either from money, or just managed to save up over years for deposits and then decided to take exhorbitant morgage.

I would say as a grad - you just share, as it is not only about saving costs, but building your network and support system - it is easier to organise Saturday house party (once in a blue moon part) if you have a bigger living room or terrace, than if you live alone in small studio (would not even dream about 1bed as it is such a waste of money for time spent there).

I was pretty early primed to buy a flat, and finally bought it as first year VP - would done it two years earlier but during COVID-19 managed to escape London for a while - best decision ever health and saving wise. Overall, trying to get into London property ladder was one of the best decision as I live relatively central (think Shoreditch) and pay £1,500 - inclusive of building service charge which is quite a bit (similar flats in my block rent out for £2,500-3,000 and average in the building is 40+). Though, it meant sharing flats for 5 years, and quite aggressive saving style, and investing very conservatively. Also, I am not sure if you really need to live within 10minutes walking distance to office given those days you are unlikely to work in the office during the weekend. When I started, I was literally required to be everyday in the office, and it was qutie normal and sadly common. When buying, I was also pushed by some realtors to look for something more expensive, as I could afford it, but wanted to really optimise stress level and needs as I saw many directors, hating the job, just sticking in as their morgages were at £5,000 / month, and significant others not working, and children destined for private schools.

Finally - do not forget that many of the prime locations are sitting empty as they are investment properties of wealthy families, that are just not bothered to do anyting about them, or just keep them in case of once a year time in London.

 

You want to live a nice apartment because you are a ‘high wage earner’ but earning £70k in London is not extraordinary at all. I know girls in recruitment making £70k. A salary of £70k (around EUR80k) is super rare in mainland Europe but not extraordinary at all in London. The guys living in the apartments you want make +£200k and there are tonnes of them.

 

I guess that most juniors spend all the money in accommodation, dinners out, and clubbing. However, if you want to save you can…the rental market now is quite high, but you can get a 3 bed for £2,100 in zone 3. If you share with 3 other people that’s £700. £200 in utilities and council tax. Food £200, night outs a couple of times a month. Transportation another £200 or a bit more if you take Ubers. Miscellaneous £200. Total around £1,500 in expenses, but note that this is really on the lower end.

Vacations, flights home, larger expenses you can take from the bonus. With that said, assuming the scenario above, you would be saving roughly £2,000-3,000/month depending on variation of expenses and how much you put in your pension…

 

Sorry, £2500-£3000pcm+?? Im looking for flats in London right now and I can find spacious, modern studios 15 minute walk from Liverpool Street for £1750pcm very easily. This post is just straight up inaccurate - the rental market is dire but not THAT dire u less you’re trying to rent 200sqm in Kensington or something

 

Have you read my post even? I said a 3 bedroom in zone 3 for £2,100…you are talking about a studio in zone 1, how is that comparable?

This post is inaccurate? lol I’ve been living in London for 6 years. I rented in the past and now own a flat so I think I know rather well both the rental and buyer market.

 

"It seems that a 1-bed apartment in a somewhat central place that is even a bit modern (not luxurious in any way, just modern with very basic and cheap materials) is £2,500-3,000" - i was referring to this. Somewhat central (zone 1), 1 bed/studio for 1750 - I'm not sure where the 3 bedroom zone 3 thing is that you're referring to. 

 

Mainland European here. The cost of housing in London by any European standard, including Paris, is pretty nuts. The main reason I am sticking around is because there's so many well paid jobs here for mid/senior level people (good luck making 300-500K in a corporate job in the Netherlands or Sweden).
It feels a bit cheap when you're starting out, but in a few years your income will have increase very materially.

The quality of entertainment, food & dating (when I was single) is also unmatched IMO.

 

300k to 500k is an insane range, wtf the spread is ridiculous. End good luck making that money in London with the current and future environment 

 

It also includes a material age range. In Amsterdam/Sweden/Copenhagen, your salary just doesn't keep climbing in your thirties and forties the way it can in London. I'm saying that in London if you're a successful person in Finance/Consulting/Tech, there's plenty of roles that will pay you 300-500 between 35-45.
In the above cities, that's a C-level salary or partner level package. I'm on 230K from core job at 30 right now with decent hours, and expect that to go up materially in the coming years.

 

In terms of where people live in London, during my internship I discovered some people commuted between Canary Wharf and Kent :)

Plus, like other people said, flat-sharing.

 

SG:

Doesn't matter, it's highly unlikely that you will get in at AN1 unless you have some foreign MD batting for you or insisting on hiring someone from their home country (though from experience these guys are shit and are slowly getting cut from the industry). Probably easier to transfer internally.

the local kids will eat your lunch - entrepreneurship is dead here and banking, law, and recently tech are the only jobs that move you up the social ladder. You're competing with the smartest of the local population plus those in the neighbouring countries who didn't make it to the US for whatever reason

HK:

Not that familiar but would say that historically, you'd have an advantage over most of the local kids, who refuse to speak mandarin (the language of business), and speak shit english (the language of high paying employers). Only the kids of local elite tend to get into banking. Lots of Singaporeans there too. And you're also competing with the smartest from South Korea, who are next door and desperate to get out of the country.

In more recent years the junior levels seem to have been populated more by mainland chinese - plenty of them are smarter (because higher paying jobs naturally draw from a larger talent pool across the border) and they can actually speak better english then the locals.

 

The key problem with London is that you are essentially poor if you even require a day job. 

As a junior/mid-level, you are literally competing with students from EM and other people with no price sensitivity whatsoever. 
People who just pay 30k of annual rent in advance. 

Similarly, wages in London (in contrast to NY) have not caught up with property price appreciation.
The average NY Associate at a PE firm still has more disposable income post rent expense than the average London PE associate. 

 

My 2p here, the rental market is absolutely cooked in London.

The comments here saying to suck it up as a first year analyst are all well and good BUT if you're making so much money and can't afford a decent sized/ comfortable apartment in a reasonable location from your job then clearly sh**s f***ed.

What's happened is a massive cost of living increase post covid, whereby the ultra rich have gotten richer (aka trust fund kids) and you can no longer work your way up the ladder without having family money (unless you're the one in a million who can, but v unlikely). Working in banking no longer simply affords a top quality lifestyle. Assets, not salaries, equal wealth these days. 

Personally can't understand quality of life in the London long term, but many people haven't seen anything else so they think it's normal.

My advice is to share with good flatmates, and it's worth paying for something comfortable, safe and relatively close to work. Make sure it's safe (mould free and not in a high crime area), and it's worth being closeish to the office especially after working late. Recommend ensuring there is sufficient cooling or heating so you are comfortable (or buying your own).

I'm in a DINK IB/PE household and we are not paying over £3k rent between the two of us.

The people living in the nice apartments (under the age of 40) are not the kind of people who are working, unfortunately.

 

I'd also add, outside of inflation, rental in particular blew up last year because of the amount of people heading into London post Covid. There was a massive delta because tons of people left London during Covid, so you have those come back + many new migrants from countries that are in the toilet post covid. Headhunters and leasing agents were all telling me they've never seen anything like last year.

When I was dating around and it was quite sad to see the rental situation for lots of people in their late 20s / early 30s who aren't in high finance. This one girl told me she lived somewhere with decent commute time and price, so I looked up the area and remember vividly the first couple of resutls were all variations of "shithole" and "rough" lol. Another was only paying 1k per month near Shoreditch but it was this youth accomodation thing (think student housing but for working people) and a literal shoe box. Another got a good deal but was living with weirdos and people in their 40/50s.

But yeah London has always been expensive but its gotten a lot worse in the last 24 months, but pay (even in finance) had not caught up.

 

I feel you ... 

Just moved from Paris to London this year, and let me tell you in this way: with 50% of my monthly salary, I can afford a very decent apartment in Paris, while with the same percentage, I can only share a 2b2b apartment with another person here in London. Plus there are bills and taxes that haven't been counted in yet.

I thought Paris was one of the most expensive cities in the world, but now when I look back, it's literally nothing compared to London.

Probably because my bank is at Canary Wharf, and I prefer somewhere within 30mins-walk distance from my company (the transportation is also incredibly expensive in London btw, I feel sorry that I insulted RATP so much when I was in Paris). 

 

Glad to see that some people won’t accept this level of decline and demand high standards. Probably nothing you can personally do about it but there is something to be said for demanding better.

Feel like Gen Z and Millennials have missed out on all wealth building opportunities older generations had and will be behind the rest of our lives. Not only is it harder to buy a home but the cost of everything else from healthcare to education has shot up and real earning have not budged. We will also be taxed more at some point in the future to pay off all this debt the boomers racked up (or we will keep printing money and the money supply will become so inflated it will be next to worthless).

 

Agreed, it's silly when people say to suck it up and that's "how it is". We don't all deserve penthouses but my goodness just somewhere safe and comfortable to live, enough food and healthcare (aka the bare minimum) shouldn't be a luxury afforded only by people in high salaries working 80+ hours a week.

We back in the 1800s where quality of life is solely determined by how much wealth is in your family 

 

Curiously, what are you proposing as an alternative to sucking it up?

All I'm seeing all this thread is people saying 2 things:

1. People saying suck it up, this is reality. Nothing you can do about it. Move back to home country or wherever if the risk reward isn't worth for you.

2. Don't suck it up, this is a ridiculous situation. Instead you should complain and continuously point out the ridiculousness of the situation (which person 1 is aware of).

Group 2 has yet to say anything about any solution or whatever aside from just "not sucking it up" i.e. complaining into the abyss of a finance internet forum.

 

Have you ever studied at a target school? 

Haven't you realized that a significant portion of people going into IB/consulting come from a wealthy surrounding anyway? 

The kids at my school lived more lavish than I am living now working full time. Not really sure they are sensitive about rent price / care about spending ~1.5k for a room in a shared flat.

 

I am originally from a small town in continental Europe which is, however, decently connected to airports / bigger cities / etc. 

Visiting my family from London, it's just startling to realize that, even working in PE, I will never be able to afford their standard of living (nice house, large garden, two cards, etc.). 

London as a platform for young people to start and grow their careers is just fucked 

 

Exactly. I'd probably need to clear £150k a year to have the same housing standard as someone working 80% in a grocery store has in my home country in the Nordics and then it's not even a small town but a capital city lmfao...

 

Dude - you know that location is everything when it comes to housing? Not housing quality? 

I coupld probably pay 1/3 of my current rent for the same (if not better) type of flat in the middle of bum*** nowhere but guess what? The allure of a flat typically comes with its location. 

I'd rather live in a shitty appartment in a large city than in a good apartment in the middle of nowhere. 

 

Thank all rich asian students who move into canary wharf and make rent for ib analysts and associates unbearable

90% of ppl in my building are from asia and below 30 yo

 

Yeah, tons of rich Asians in London. Did my master's in London and all the Asian students were living in nice flats in Marylebone for £2500+...

 

So... going to toss in a slightly different perspective (that will likely get some hate) as someone who lives in London coming from a decade in Manhattan. I have very little perspective on what it looks like for an analyst (and I'd guess the affordability sucks everywhere given current climate), but I find the rents / home prices in London to be quite cheap for someone later in career (call it late 30s to early 40s). It seems like at the lower rent levels in London, the prices are similar to what you would find in Manhattan, but the incomes are lower which is a bad deal. But at higher levels, it seems as if the prices are way better for what you could find in Manhattan. As a data point, I currently rent at a bit under 7000 in London for a beautiful townhouse in prime West London neighborhood with a private garden that would easily be 50% more for the same situation in Manhattan (FX adjusted and all).

 

Yeah, £300k a year equates to 14-15k net a month. As such, even as someone pretty senior making a ton of cash you will be spending 50% of ur salary just on rent. Then imagine all expenses for kids, utilities, clothes, food etc. Sounds like you will not be saving a ton of cash each month.

 

It's definitely high relative to salary - I work at a multi-strat / platform type HF so salary is even lower than that amount, but bonus is variable. That said, I am 1) married so there is other income / assets (you can read between the lines) and 2) I don't have children and do not expect to have any in the near future so it works out fine. But as to the NY comparison, I am with you - many of my friends / colleagues opted for CT if they wanted suburbs or Brooklyn if they wanted proximity to the city (I say proximity bc it is really just suburbs light).
