Is weekday flatshare/houseshare for me?

There's lots of reasons why people choose to live in shared accommodation as opposed to renting a whole property on their own. Presumably, the reason you have arrived at WeekdayFlatshare.co.uk is because you want to reduce your commute and living closer to work throughout the week

With the increasing cost of running a car, and the soaring price of rail travel many people choose to live away from home during the working week.  Hotels are normally a chose option, but more and more professionals are opting to house share instead.

A weekday flat or house share can, in the long run it can work out cheaper than commuting or renting a hotel room.  Plus you can return somewhere at end of a day at work which is homely, comfortable and has your own personalised items.

As more and more people are taking part in week day flat sharing it means there is an increased number of other housemates, who may also be in the same situation.  For those that find the thought of travelling over two hours a day on crowded trains is too much for some, it could be an ideal solution.

By sharing with other house or flat mates you don't just save money on the obvious costs like rent, but also other bills can be split between the number of housemates living in the house e.g. council tax, electricity, water, internet and telephone line rental, (although you also need to bear in mind that more people means more water being used).
