Back to routine savings this September
To support our landlords during one of our peak periods we’re offering a third off room adverts, to help lodgers getting back to routine after the summer holidays, and to support our landlords in finding a suitable lodger to open up their home to.
September is a time to savour the last remnants of summer as we start transitioning back to our usual routines. It’s also a time of fresh starts - a new season, new school terms, fresh motivation at work, or a time to turn inward and consider new projects.
It’s a time when many professionals are starting new contracts and getting back to work after the holidays. And now with more businesses encouraging workers back into the office but many having moved away, it’s also a time that many workers are looking for a place to stay closer to their place of work.
To support our landlords during one of our peak periods we’re offering a third off room adverts until the end of September, to help lodgers get back to routine after the summer holidays, and to support our landlords in finding a suitable lodger to open up their home to.
Why find a lodger?
1. Additional income
Letting your room to a weekday lodger can mean gaining an additional income, with the first £7,500 tax-free as part of the government’s rent-a-room relief scheme. It’s an easy and appealing way to top up your salary, or to boost your pension pot.
2. Financial support
Gaining a rental income can ease financial burdens, by supporting mortgage repayments or costs of living, making it easier for our homeowners to manage finances and save for the future.
3. Company
Having a lodger can provide pleasant company, an extra presence in the house is comforting and can lead to more social opportunities alongside a way to meet and connect with new people.
4. Security
Having another person in the house, especially for those living alone, can help provide an extra feeling of security, should a homeowner need assistance or help in case of an emergency.
5. Flexibility
Finding a weekday lodger rather than a full time tenant means you retain full rights of the home, meaning you can more easily end a contract should your situation change or if you wish to try out taking in a lodger without a long-term commitment.
