After years of renting around London, Gaby Levine had had enough. Partly it was the money — her “tiny little box room” in West Hampstead cost £875pcm, with bills adding another £175pcm — and she was also fed up with awkward flatmates and all the stress and claustrophobia that comes with life in the capital.
“I have lived in London my whole life, and I never thought I would move out,” says Gaby, a freelance graphic designer. “But it just started to get too much. Then two of my best friends started talking about moving to Brighton and I thought: “Why not?’ and joined them.”
