A man has gone viral on social media after realising it is cheaper to live in a 5-star all-inclusive hotel than rent his city flat.
Josh Kerr pays £950 a month for his apartment in Manchester but later found out it would cost him £938 to book an all-inclusive resort in Turkey for 28 nights, including flights. He then showed how he used On The Beach to find a deal for Xoria Deluxe Resort in Antalya.
Manchester city centre rent averages at about £1,163 a month, Zoopla's latest data shows. Living there means shelling out £1,312.99 for council tax band A or a whopping £3,282.50 for band G this year.
In a video on TikTok, he said: "I've just found out it's cheaper to live at a 5-star all-inclusive resort than it is to live in Manchester. Even looking at the gaff, it's a 5-star hotel. I mean, it looks pretty bog-standard to me, it's decent for £900 a month.

"I'm not being funny right, but I pay £950 for my rent, bills, council tax and that. Here, you get breakfast, lunch, evening meals, drinks, snacks and a gaff. What are we doing in England?"
