Can be anything from £300 to £1000 + depending on the area.
Around $600 here in Arkansas!!!
I find this link interesting...
"One vivid way to illustrate the relative purchasing power of wages is to replace the abstract basket of goods and services with a specific, highly uniform product that is available everywhere with the same quality, and then calculate how long an employee would have to work to be able to afford it in each city. For the first time, a non-food product was used in the study to compare working hours. The iPod nano with 8 GB of storage is an ideal example of a globally uniform product. An average wage-earner in Zurich and New York can buy a nano from an Apple store after nine hours of work. At the other end of the spectrum, workers in Mumbai, need to work 20 nine-hour days roughly the equivalent of one month's salary to purchase an iPod nano."
and you can find that list here:

Ummm What does that have to do with rentals costs in peoples various regions?
Ummm...thanks for pointing that out...not sure why you would...but, just thought it was interesting as we are talking about what people can buy with their money in each region.
Oh , excuse me...didn't mean to hijack...no, I am not confused...was trying to further the discussion with extra info. Will remember for future reference that you don't like extra input. I just really thought that was a neat site, is all. It is a forum for talking and sharing and that is all I was doing...no need to get offended about it.
