Why is it so expensive to rent a house or flat in Lewes?
A good 3 or 4 bed house is usually £1000 to £1200 per month! That is far too much!
How can we revert this and make living in Lewes affordable to normal people?

I'm afraid rents reflect property prices. Lewes has always been expensive. Pretty little town, non-multicultural, main line to london, it has a lot going for it. If you could cash in your squalid tiny flat in some bog hole area of london and buy a house in Lewes for the same money, what would you do? What they're all doing now, that's what. london money has and always will keep Lewes an expensive place to live.

In the property section of todays Sussex Express there's a house up for £179,000. The agents blurb says 'Ideal first time buyer'. At 170 grand? Am I missing something?

Sure, I can see and understand all the reasons why Lewes and the SE is so expensive.
But what I have noticed is there are a number of properties in Lewes which have been available to rent for about 6 months and have been empty. Their price is about £100 to £1400 for 3 and 4 bed houses.
If the land lords dropped the price to a realistic price so people who cant afford a mortgage can rent a place, then I am sure the land lords would fill the properties.

Because Council houses are getting flogged off and the stock is not being replaced, private landlords are filling their boots. A case of New Labour just following Tory policies. Also we have a spineless Council who won`t stand up to developers and tell them that if they don`t sacrifice some profit and include affordable housing in their plans, then they don`t get the go-ahead.

Lewes doesn't want "normal people" they are much too common. I would suggest that you consider (whisper it) Seaford or Newhaven, much more affordable and they will accept the "normal people" not wanted by Lewes folk.

I don't regard myself as normal - far from it.
Therefore that would make me acceptable to Lewes (where I have lived all my life and that could explain why I am not normal).

They are over priced.

Chav is a slang term in popular usage throughout the United Kingdom, referring to a subhuman stereotype of a person with: fashions such as flashy 'bling' jewellery and/or flat fronted, occasionally Burberry caps; congregating around places (sometimes known as chavaramas) such as fast-food outlets or other shopping areas; an absolutely awful music taste (centred loosely around drum and bass, rap and hip hop); and a culture of antisocial behaviour.
I WOULD SLAP ASBOS ON ALL OF THEM!

I have an idea what is happening is that people trying to sell properties over the 500K mark find it difficult, so they end up renting it out instead and must put a high rent to cover their costs
