Renting a room

[Ruth76]

Hi - does anyone know if renting a room with own bathroom Sun night to Thurs night inclusive is something that anyone would be interested in? I live on Heber Road and have a room I could rent out but would prefer not to have to spare my space at the weekend. Has anyone any experience re this or know if there would be interest? Also how much could I charge? Thanks

Try advertising with Kings College Hospital. There are a number of medics who live weekdays only in the area but go home to family at weekends. My Dad was working for London Ambulance Service and had purchased a house in West Sussex as he had got a transfer to West Sussex. He had exchanged contracts for selling his house and for the new bungalow when W Sussex contacted him withdrawing the offer due to cuts. He managed to work out his shifts in London for the next year and rented a room from Sunday to Thursday in Merton going home at weekends.

I would say ?60 - ?75 a week would seem reasonable with access to kitchen/washing machine etc

A friend of mine who lives in Bristol does this so he can still work in London. He uses this website which may give you a few ideas on costs and stuff http://www.mondaytofriday.com/rent-rooms
