## Moving to Glasgow vs Staying in Edinburgh
### Current Situation
I currently live in Edinburgh (originally from Glasgow) and pay £525/month for a tiny room in a shared flat. All my friends/partner live in Edinburgh.
### Work Location
I work somewhere in between Glasgow and Edinburgh (closer to Edinburgh). My parents have offered me a one bed to stay in rent-free in the west end of Glasgow – I feel stupid saying no as it’s free rent and a whole flat rather than a small room.
### Dilemma
The cons are I don’t really know many people in Glasgow and it adds a bit longer onto my commute, and friends/partner are further away.

I guess it would depend if doing so would allow you to do something specific in the long run…. If you did it for a set amount of time would you be able to save x amount of money that would either allow you to buy a house or do something specific for the future? Everything is a pay off between quality of life vs long term goals. If it won’t materially change your life in the long term or you aren’t disciplined about saving whilst doing it, it could have the opposite effect i.e. make you miserable and also more frivolous because you have more disposable income and in the long run less self sufficient… it depends what your goals in life are and what’s important to you now.
As a purely financial question it seems a no brainer; free rent is a dream for most! Providing your relationship is good with your parents & the flat is suitable it seems ideal from the outside. I suppose you might want to consider how much extra you might spend on commuting/ travelling to Edinburgh to see your partner & friends but I highly doubt that’s going to outweigh the rent saving?!
If your wider circle is in Edinburgh I totally understand why that be a draw but there are good transport links generally (no comment on Scotrail!) and it’s really not that far? What could you do with £500 extra a month? That’s a pretty considerable sum to play with & that could put you in an excellent position for your future. How does your partner feel about Glasgow generally? If you are both able & willing to travel between the two (and plenty of people do) it could be a good move?
How much would you save (after increased utilities and commuting costs) and what would you do with that money?
Personally I would. I wasn’t sure how far Edinburgh to Glasgow was but it’s an hour by car apparently. I moved cities an hour away for cheaper rent myself and I think if you stand to save £500 a month that’s a no brainer. Even though your friends etc are in Edinburgh I’m sure you could visit on weekends, and even if you try it for a year and want move back, at least you’ve saved £6k by the end.
Thats 6k a year – some great holidays or savings to be had there!
For me this would be a no brainer, just because I’ve had my fair share of relationships and I’ve started to pick me a lot more now. Go for the rent free option. You can always make friends, and if your partner is the one, then you’ll make it work.
If you’re having to travel extra to work, visit friends and partner then it’s not free, either in money or time. What matters is how much that costs and how much you value the extra travel time vs the rent you’ll be saving.
Why don’t they rent out the Glasgow flat, and they give you any profit after taxes?
That way they are still helping you, but you get to live closer to work and near your friends and partner
Free rent ? Take it
I’d take it mane the west end of Glasgow is pretty easy to make friends in as well depending how west we are talking
Money wise it’s a great opportunity. Money’s not everything though. If you’re happy to be further from your friends and partner and take a train/drive to Edinburgh frequently, then cool. If not, it’s arguably not worth it
If you can make it work without being unhappy definitely do it. Lots of people don’t get these types of opportunities and you will probably look back when you’re older and think I should’ve done that. Remember it doesn’t have to be forever but it seems like a good sacrifice to be able to save some money and get a good head start. Thanks mum and dad!!
I’d take it and bank the money you would be spending on rent and get a deposit for a house or something.
Financially the answer is obvious, but looking at the big picture… you can’t buy friends, and loneliness damages your health and your happiness in the long term.
If you can maintain friendships with a loss of 10 hours per week to commuting and being an hour away from your friends then it might be worth it for a year but I’d tread carefully, it’s a double-edged blade.
what does your partner think?
I don’t have all the info but Nothing is free, not forever anyway. Homes cost money even ones paid off and owned outright cost money to maintain has the cost of maintenance been discussed?
Its not stupid to stay where you are if you life would be better/more enjoyable.
I probably wouldn’t. Inconveniencing your life and becoming reliant on your parents. Why is their support tied to you moving? Commute costs will also add up.
