    depends on area, size of room, etc. There are many varying factors. Look in your local press as there will be others that are renting out rooms. You can then compare and revise accordingly.

    My area rooms between £65-85 per week.

    I charge the lodger in the large room £280 pcm and the lodger in the single room £216 pcm. This includes all bills including wireless broadband and cable TV. It does not include food or telephone (which is available if they ask permission).

    Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton
