We took to Rightmove to investigate where about in the city you can nab a flat for the lowest price.
Read on for a full rundown of the cheapest two-bedroom properties to rent in each area of Glasgow.
City Centre
Oxford Street
Price: £795 per month
The most expensive property in this roundup, this newly renovated flat is still a good deal if you need to live in the city centre. It's unfurnished, which may suit those who have their own belongings and want to put their own stamp on the place. One major advantage of this flat is that it comes with secure private parking, which isn't easy to find in the city centre.
What the listing says: "Centrally located two bedroom unfurnished first floor flat in a modern development with secure private parking included. Internally this property is located in the first floor of a purpose build modern block of apartments. Accessed through a well maintained common stair, the property is unfurnished and comprises of two spacious double bedrooms with fitted mirror wardrobes, lounge, fitted kitchen with space for dining and a bathroom with shower over bath."
