The idea of house and flat share has many benefits for both parties - the landlord and the tenant. The tenant has the ability of generating additional income from a spare room(s) which can either fund lifestyle or indeed help pay the mortgage. Under the UK's rent a room scheme the Inland Revenue allow a certain amount per year to be earned tax free. Many people disillusioned with returns with their pension plans have turned to buying properties to rent. In University Towns it is ideal to buy a property and in turn rent out individual rooms to students in multi-occupancy houses. In many instances this method generates more income than could be had if the property was rented out as a whole. Alternatively a number of tenants can club together to rent a large house. Some
people like to rent out rooms in their property, where they live, to
bring a buzz into their lives. Some properties can feel very empty when
in single occupancy! Just having someone there in the property, not
necessarily in the same room can be a comfort. The spin off with this,
in certain instances, can lead to a widening of one's social circle. To the newcomer to an area, renting a room, can assist with the "settling in" process. Other tenants or the insitu landlord can provide a wealth of local knowledge that could otherwise take months to learn. Some people who are away from home for the first time, often welcome the opportunity of a "new family" in the early months - renting a room may well help the wrench and upheaval of this first move. So renting a room or a house is often not just a financial arrangement. Their are many social, emotional and human issues that can also benefit. Traditionally these rooms/flats/houses were advertised or found via newspapers, the corner shop adverts or word of mouth. The Internet has simply become a much more efficient channel for all concerned! Sites are appearing everyday to satisfy this demand and most areas are now covered. Good luck with your search!
