Why are there so few flats in Surrey?

Accepted Answer

There are a number of reasons why there are so few flats in Surrey. One reason is that demand for housing is high and there aren&#x27;t enough flats to meet the demand. Another reason is that many people who work in Surrey don&#x27;t want to live in the city center, preferring to live in the suburbs instead. Finally, developers often prefer to build houses rather than flats because they can make more money from selling houses.

Question 20

What are the advantages of renting a furnished flat?

Accepted Answer

When you rent a furnished flat, you have everything that you need right there in the apartment. This can be really convenient, especially if you are new to the city and don&#x27;t know where to start looking for furniture. Another advantage of renting a furnished flat is that it is usually cheaper than renting an unfurnished apartment or house. This can be helpful if you are on a tight budget.
One advantage of renting a furnished flat is that you can rent it for medium-long term periods. This is ideal if you are in Surrey for a few months and need a place to stay, as it can be difficult to find long-term rentals in the city. Furnished flats come with all of the amenities that you need, such as furniture, appliances, and linens.
