Well, if you were looking for a nudge to move across the water, this rent price break down could be the push you needed. The ECA has looked at the average price of a three bedroom apartment in a “prime location” for each capital city in Europe, and the results are surprising.

Despite being known for promoting a high quality of life, lust-worthy Nordic style and stress-free living, renting in Stockholm is relatively budget-friendly. Renting a three-bedroom flat in the capital of Sweden costs on average £2,579 for the entire property in the city centre – half the price of London.

Though supremely picturesque and a cultural hub, moving to Amsterdam could also be more achievable than you expected. A three bedroom flat will set you back just over £2,632 per month.

If you’re feeling flush, towards the top end of the scale is the famously expensive Moscow and Zurich, with flats priced at £4,126 and £3,794 on average respectively (still cheaper than London, though).

Find the full break down in descending order below, and let your fantasies of European living run wild:

1. London (£5,398)

2. Moscow (£4,126)

3. Zurich (£3,794)

4. Geneva (£3,698)

5. Istanbul (£3,208)

6. Kiev (£2,762)

7. Paris (£2,747)

8. Dublin (£2,688)

9. Amsterdam (£2,632)

10. Stockholm (£2,579)
