house sharing with children


Recommended Posts

Hello

I was about to post in another section but on a second thought I may have more success here, hopefully

I have now lived in the area for 3 years. Myself and my child (9yr) We are settled but upon yet again another rent rise I have decided that is time to move on.

I always wanted to share with another single parent and child, and I have done so for a few months. It was a great experience for all parties involved.

So what I am asking here is for anyone in a similar position who want to stay local (mainly for schools and friends) but the current market has priced off buying. If like me you are fed up to miss out on good property or make do with a 2 bed flat and would like to share a larger property with a larger garden, have company for the kids, and share some duty and a glass of wine? than there must be a way to make it happen !

If you know of any single parent or a divorced parent who needs a child friendly environment at the week end please send them my way!

I am happy to explore this possibility, meet over a coffee and see where that leads.

Alternatively I would consider sharing with a someone who doesn't mind having a child around or a student that for a reduced rent can do the odd babysitting.

I have posted on more specific forums. There are many parent looking for the same but scattered all over London.

Surely there ought to be someone around this area?

I can afford a decent share of the rent needed for a 3/4 bed house

Thanks for reading so far !

I'm sure someone posted about this on here a while back? Also - is there a single parents thread on here, am sure there has been in the past - might be worth posting about it there or changing the subject header so that it's obvious, some may have missed what this is about.

Hello, it was something I was mulling over a while back when I thought I might lose the tenancy on my current flat, but I've now renewed for another year so not looking to share for now. I might be interested next year though if my landlord proposes an unfeasible rent increase.

hello thanks for the links.

I have posted on most specific forum. It is happening all over London and I have met a few women. The only problem is to find someone willing to move south.

I am not able to move in order to join an on going house share either, cannot do that to my child again as he is getting extra help at his current school. That's why I was trying my luck with a local forum.


Oh yeas I changed the title ... dunno what I was thinking (blushing) :-)

    • Malumbu, by that measure are police efforts to cut down on anti-social driving by issuing tickets and fines a token effort as well? Surely punitive measures for cyclists breaking the rules will encourage them not to break the rules again? A bit like when you got stopped and taken into the cab of an HGV. The police are currently using that tactic to show those who break the rules cycling that it might lead them to being hit by a lorry due to the driver's having limited vision - the cycling equivalent of a speed awareness course for drivers.    When they stopped you was it because you had broken a rule or was it just more of an education programme and they asked you to take a look and did it change your cycling behaviour in any way? As I said previously there are those who break the rules on cycling out of ignorance (and those out of arrogance) and I am sure they are using HGVs to educate those in the ignorance category and then hitting those in the arrogance category with the PCNs.    
    • Good that PETA is on it but can we add our voices to the fight against this horrible practice? I’m still shocked! A petition maybe? Happy to raise to the RSPCA but don’t want to duplicate efforts. I’ve signed campaigns from RSPCA before which sends it directly to your councillor
    • Yes, I'm aware of that. I believe the brood was five to begin with. However they are almost adult size now so not the prey of rats any longer. 
    • Happy to recommend Greg. Lovely guy and a really hard worker, high standard of work, clean and tidy too. Greg sorted out a tricky water tank problem in a tight space in a loft, staying late into the evening to get the correct parts and fix the problem. Thanks Greg!
