Malaysian actress Janna Nick and her husband, Dini Schatzmann, have once again become the talk of the town – this time for their search for a new home in London, United Kingdom. The couple, who tied the knot in 2023, were recently spotted touring several properties in the city as they prepare to begin a fresh chapter in their lives abroad.
This comes after the couple previously hinted at their relocation plans when they shared heartfelt moments visiting Janna’s grandparents. Now, with their house-hunting adventure unfolding, fans are closely following their updates, curious about the couple’s new life in one of the world’s most cosmopolitan cities.
In a video shared on TikTok, the couple could be seen carefully touring several homes, making sure they find the right fit before settling temporarily in the British capital. However, what truly caught the eye of netizens was the staggering rental price tag. The properties they viewed reportedly cost between RM15,000 to RM22,000 per month, an amount that left many Malaysians stunned.
While the figure may sound overwhelming, many online users admitted that such rates are not unusual given London’s notoriously high cost of living. As one of the world’s most expensive cities, rental prices can easily climb into five-figure sums. Speaking about her experience, Janna shared that renting in the UK isn’t as straightforward as just choosing a house and making payment. There are strict requirements that tenants must meet, including:
- An income at least 2.5 times higher than the monthly rent.
- A valid visa to reside in the UK.
- A UK-based guarantor. Without one, tenants are often required to pay 6 months to 1 year of rent upfront.
- Regular follow-ups with the real estate agent throughout the process.
Despite the jaw-dropping rental costs, many netizens expressed support for the couple, acknowledging that living in such a city comes with its price but also with new experiences and opportunities. For those curious, the full video of their house-hunting journey can be watched here:
