If it was 350 per guest it could potentially be a bit more workable and in all honesty I would move out and move in with family and let them have the entire house to themselves for £350 just isn’t really gonna cut it

What do you mean "workable" @Suseorm? Sounds like you mean profitable which would mean you have totally missed the point.

Just look at how many Poles have been homing Ukrainians who's finances are much tighter than British and aren't receiving any governmental monies. 

 they’re not quite in emergency Dire Straits are they ? 

You only need the capitals if you're referring to Knopfler and his friends.

And if the Scottish and the Welsh were in a similar predicament to the Ukrainians I guess we all just open our homes and budge up for that but these guys arent actually our neighbours,  so by the time they get to the UK they’re not quite in emergency Dire Straits are they ?  The polls are actually receiving payment by the way

£700 for each adult actually wouldn’t cover the costs of giving them my whole house but it would cover the bills and it would allow these people bit more dignity.  

Personally I think the whole thing is utterly on workable these people need their privacy to heal and to rebuild their lives whether they stay in the UK or go home it doesn’t matter.  

Scottish and Welsh are part of the same sovereign country of the United Kingdom... so not really comparable and I am sure you'd still do the maths before deciding; the French would be a more comparable analogy if you wanted one to be people from a neighbouring country rather than the same, different language etc.

You are however correct that the Poles are now receiving monies but its £210 rather than £700, for a maximum of 2 months and its not per adult. so £420 -v- £2,100 but this only came in over the weekend

Personally I'd have exactly the same issues regardless of where they were from. The only real difference is that with the Scottish and Welsh you wouldn't have the language or cultural barrier.

Well given the situation in Poland i.e. the lower living costs I’m sure the £210 is a comparable rate and no doubt the absolute minimum that the government can get away with supplying much like the UK situation.  If you can afford the where in tear to your house and the extra bills,  brilliant you are exactly the kind of person that should be helping out in this scenario most people can’t.

And not being able to provide accommodation doesn’t mean that you can’t and haven’t helped in other ways by the way.

Theres  advice around for those sharing accommodation , but does anyone know of any formal  information put together or  groups/forums even threads   helping specifically , those fortunate enough to be able to consider offering  a  vacated rental for  refugees using the Gov visa 6mth plan ? I would like to see discussions such as  ---  how far does sponsorship go in terms of  , you can just  afford to give the accommodation free for 6mths but  do you also pay their council tax?  All utility bills ?(bearing in mind guests could have gas and leccy always going at full tilt .) Who is responsible if they have/dont pay huge huge bills?  What rights would you have to remove them,  if  they turned out to disrespect the property bigtime?  What if its eg. a mum, child and grandma,  and in a couple of months ,  dad and grandad  want to join them because they now also need to leave Ukraine but your property wont stand more  people?  What happens if you get to the end of the six months , need to make money from your rental again (it augments your pension)  for instance -  what would be the process if by then they had settled,  had a child at school, accumulated  'stuff'  and didnt want to move because the council was overun  already with  refugees looking for spaces .So many considerations before wanting to jump into such an offer.

Hello - I'm new to the forum, apologies if this isn't the right place or has been answered...has anyone seen guidance on the approach of mortgage providers to the Homes for Ukraine scheme? I note the link shared to LV= on home insurance which was helpful, thank you. However I have not yet seen any detail on how lenders would treat the scheme for a remortgage application for example. Quite possible that no-one knows yet, but interested if anyone has seen some info. Thanks

To clarify, I am wondering if having guests in the house for such a long period would be an issue for lenders, as I assume would need to be declared. Thanks

Are you suggesting this is Money for Nothing?

Many in this thread would not agree.  I don't think you do either

You'd need to read your mortgage conditions. Lenders vary about how concerned they are with lodgers etc.
