I live in quick commuting range of Lund. What would be a deposit for an apartment in Lund, bought my place outright.
Lund is a good place to live, but the prices are not justifiable, considering how cheap Kvälinge, Eslöv, Höör and Hässleholm on direct railway lines to it.
I like the social life in Lund. Better than Malmö anyday.
Buy a newspaper such as the Financial times.
