Market for renting a room but just Sun-Friday

NCNewb

Would anybody have an opinion on whether I could rent out a room in a new build on the above conditions? It was a thing back in the day but not sure where the land lies now.

I'm out in Newcastle so it wouldn't be as big of a draw as somewhere more central. Loads of busy industrial parks though.

I think you would!

Maybe give leeway for some weekends, but people are generally desparate for accommodation at the moment.

Yeah I have no idea where you'd advertise it online as it's a bit niche.

You'd probably get some Intel nerd handily enough

You would often see a line saying Monday to Friday only etc on daft when I used to rent years ago.

Better chance of it as more people returning to the office, my previous lodger was Monday evening to Friday morning. When he moved out I advertised with two different rates, one for 5 days and one for 7. Unfortunately that was 2020 so with working from home all the people like my former lodger moved home so I ended up with an international lodger who's still here but it took a while to get used to 24/7 and lockdowns!!

It used to be common. I think it will be even more so now with people returning to offices.

You're very good Loueze, thank you!

theres plenty of people who work in an office 3-4 days a week, and go home to a rural town every week on friday evening.

I know somebody who did that with student for the country. Any tradesman working on building sites would probably be happy with it.
