Best places to advertise for a lodger?

want2bmortgage3

I've put an ad on spare room but have to sign up + pay to send any messages, going to try gumtree as well. Called the local paper and they both charge around £40 for a small ad for a week, I thought that was quite a lot.

So just here to ask if there is anywhere else, and whether I will have to pay much to get a response. Should I stay online or try the paper too and pay the price?

Why not try the local colleges, hospitals or universities they aften require accommodation for students or doctors and nurses...Good luck

http://www.torent.co.uk/
its totally free and the longest I've waited to find someone is one week


just bear in mind however that you are in it for the money and nothing in business is free so you may be better off paying

placed an ad on torent, hospital and uni are the other side of town so doubt anyone would want to live out this way. hope to find someone soon, thanks!

I know this is an old old thread, but just wondering how it went with torent.co.uk and also which are the best free sites to advertise a room?

Thank you.

I've never used to rent, but have had good experiences with http://www.moveflat.co.uk/ both as a flat sharer and a lodger landlord. Its more focused on flatsharers, and only London, but works for me.

spare room lets you advertise for free but you have to wait 7 days
