As the weather is improving, can I suggerst you consider leaving this until you have tenants, so their income funds the cost. Also in summer you might get a better deal.

a couple of hundred per bedroom for beds

Check out www.freegle.co.uk and freecycle if that oerates in your area.

matresses buy these new

furniture etc, go to freegle and freecycle again.

Also try and get some paint on there if you have none and give the rooms a once over if possible.

Try to minimise your expenditure in the immediate future.

withoutahope,

Thanks for explaining things in more detail.

You are in an unusual position in that your income could increase significantly at short notice, and you have the last resort of help from parents.

I can now see why you are going to bash on, I might be tempted to do the same.

But I'm sure you agree you need to keep a close eye on the deficit, no one can run at hundreds a month the wrong side for long.

You seem very determined which will hold you in good stead.
