jamesogt   11 #14 Posted August 6, 2018 I rent a room out in Crookes.  I charge £380PCM inc all bills. So £87pw. Double room, only 2 of us in the house. He has full use of anything he likes. Room is also double, with a new mattress and furnished.  I realise this is probably on the higher side of averages. But I spend a lot of time away. 4 weeks holiday, and probably 2 nights a week for work, so he gets a lot of time here alone.  In terms of energy use when I am here I average £8pw in electric, when he is here alone it is nearer £5.
