Hi 👋🏼 I’m James and thanks for checking out my ad. I work as a Global Product Lead (Marketing and Sales) in Higher Education, with international students. I’m currently studying to re-train in UX design and also considering becoming a therapist / councillor in the longer term. I’m friendly, sociable and like a balance of quiet time and social time.

Ideal Lodger:
- Considerate
- Self aware
- Friendly
- Clean and tidy
- Reliable and trustworthy
- Doesn’t work from home more than 3 days p/w
- No pets
- No smoking indoors
- No parties but guests ok (see details below)
- No couples or families
- Not too much stuff due to available storage

I work from home most days but occasionally travel internationally or around UK. I like to get out a fair bit, so not always at home. Not a party house but you having a guest stay over one night a week is no problem if they’re trusted.

I’m very considerate, pretty kind and trying to be more self aware to work on better boundaries, anxiety & people pleasing - Honesty bomb 😆 I’m also non-judgemental and can empathise with others perspective. My Myers Briggs personality type is ENFP the ‘Campaigner’.

It’d be really nice to live with someone likeminded. So that I know you’ve read the ad, please use the word ‘Ello’ in your reply.

The house:
Mid-terrace colourful house, 5 mins walk to the famous South Laines, with independent shops, cafes and restaurants etc. 12 mins to the sea front and a wide road for parking if you have a car (residents permit required but no waiting list). Nest smoke alarm and CO2 detector, plus locking windows and secure doors.

Council tax band C, but this is covered in your monthly payment.

Your total monthly payment of £795 also includes up to £120 household energy use per month. This should mean that unless you use a high amount of energy, no additional costs are expected, but we would split any amount over £120 between us for the month. This is likely to only be possible between November to March. Heating during winter typically set to 18C during ‘awake’ hours if we’re home - But it’s negotiable. House has a smart meter so we can see our daily usage.

We can either both buy cleaning products, toilet paper, dishwasher tablets etc or alternatively you can pay £10 p/m to have everything included for ease.

Your room is fully furnished, has freshly painted walls (May 2023), a built in 2 part wardrobe, shelves and a garden facing window so usually peaceful with lots of morning light. There are additional drawers under the desk in case useful. Bed is a decent solid wood double, with mattress and topper too :)

Hard wood floors across much of the house with new plush carpet on stairs and landing. No shoes upstairs please and ideally not beyond the hall.

Kitchen has solid walnut worktops, a pretty big Samsung fridge freezer, Samsung 9kg washing machine, microwave, toaster, kettle, air fryer, oven and gas hobs. Decent cupboard space for two people too.

Bathroom has a bath, shower with good pressure and hot water. Toilet and basin too of course. Storage space available for your items. Baths once a week are ok but showering as the standard please.

Lounge has good size modern Samsung TV and sound bar, Netflix, NowTV and Prime. New 2.5 seater sofa with yellow velvet side chair. Lighting is kinda beautiful with various options available. Some use of lounge is permitted and you’d be welcome to hang out there when I’m not using or join me there most of the time, but any questions just ask.

Garden is decked with flower beds. Gets nice sun from the morning to late afternoon in summer. Lots of friendly cats come to visit too.

Exact moving day can be negotiated slightly. You will receive a printed lodger agreement and a £500 deposit will be required to secure the room and released back in full on the day you leave, assuming no damages and the room has been cleaned.

Thanks and happy to answer any questions or show you the room!

James
