Can you live off 20k in the UK? That seems extremely low considering the prices Ive seen when visiting

Also depends where, north is a lot cheaper. I know someone who went to Hartlepool and they offered him a big pay rise as they are desperate for staff. His rent was £600 for a three bed, you can rent for £450 if needed. Where I live in the Midlands is 40-50% more expensive. London probably add another 50% (or more) to that.
Sounds to me like this is partly to curb foreign workers coming in for a time and sending money back out of the country to family.
