Since August , I have contacted around 70 listings on Spare Room , a website that matches displaced renters with tenants.

The demand for rooms in London is staggering (Spare Room estimates six people go for every room.

Some potential housemates have made the process rather like an Alan Sugar-style job interview, complete with calendar booking platforms for viewings.

The payment also included a third share in communal furniture, which he suggested I could pass on to my successor in 10 months .

This was because my new housemates had lined up someone to take over the room after a year .

Sadly this means some other poor sod has dropped hundreds of pounds he’ll never get back.
