    Consider a HMO if you’re keen on staying in the same area. Kitchen and bathrooms may be a bit scuzzy though 
    I think an HMO will be a bit of a comedown/shock from the OPs own private space in the current place they're living in.
    But, it seems to be that the OP can't afford the private space in the current place they're living in. 
    Completely agree the OP is living beyond their means... In their shoes I'd move to a different area to get similar accommodation for less money, over moving into an HMO.
    Agreed. But, I've not been in the position of not being able to afford a resonable, private, property. So, it's easy for me to say that. 
    I have been unable to afford to rent in my preferred area/property so I rented elsewhere, paying the rent myself.

    It could be the OP has some reason to stay in that area, such as looking for work,  but they should definitely be looking for somewhere cheaper even if that does involve sharing. 

    The unfortunate reality is that the current place is unaffordable for whatever the current situation is.
