Hello

I was about to post in another section but on a second thought I may have more success here, hopefully

I have now lived in the area for 3 years. Myself and my child (9yr) We are settled but upon yet again another rent rise I have decided that is time to move on.

I always wanted to share with another single parent and child, and I have done so for a few months. It was a great experience for all parties involved.

So what I am asking here is for anyone in a similar position who want to stay local (mainly for schools and friends) but the current market has priced off buying. If like me you are fed up to miss out on good property or make do with a 2 bed flat and would like to share a larger property with a larger garden, have company for the kids, and share some duty and a glass of wine? than there must be a way to make it happen !

If you know of any single parent or a divorced parent who needs a child friendly environment at the week end please send them my way!

I am happy to explore this possibility, meet over a coffee and see where that leads.

Alternatively I would consider sharing with a someone who doesn't mind having a child around or a student that for a reduced rent can do the odd babysitting.

I have posted on more specific forums. There are many parent looking for the same but scattered all over London.

Surely there ought to be someone around this area?

I can afford a decent share of the rent needed for a 3/4 bed house

Thanks for reading so far !

I'm sure someone posted about this on here a while back? Also - is there a single parents thread on here, am sure there has been in the past - might be worth posting about it there or changing the subject header so that it's obvious, some may have missed what this is about.

I agree with belle I think a clearer title might help, also there is the accommodation/houses/to let page, perhaps if you put this there as well you might get more traffic. Is there a single parent forum you could also advertise on?


I think it's a great idea. Good luck

Hello, it was something I was mulling over a while back when I thought I might lose the tenancy on my current flat, but I've now renewed for another year so not looking to share for now. I might be interested next year though if my landlord proposes an unfeasible rent increase.

hello thanks for the links.

I have posted on most specific forum. It is happening all over London and I have met a few women. The only problem is to find someone willing to move south.

I am not able to move in order to join an on going house share either, cannot do that to my child again as he is getting extra help at his current school. That's why I was trying my luck with a local forum.


Oh yeas I changed the title ... dunno what I was thinking (blushing) :-)

    • Do check out changing at Lille if it's possible, as is much easier than changing stations in Paris.  I did London to Montpellier changing at Lille which was very straightforward but it was a little while ago.
    • We go to the South of France by train most summers.   It is pretty easy and you get to arrive right in the centre of the city.  TGVs are generally efficient, reliable and comfortable. Unfortunately the direct London to Marseille Eurostar train seems to have been a  victim of Brexit so you have to change in Paris - most South bound service go from  Gare de Lyon - about a 15 min RER rise from Gare du Nord. Allow plenty of time travelling back from Gare du Nord, it always was horrid but has reach new levels of chaos since Brexit. I would recommend, at least for the home leg, booking the entire journey through Eurostar. That way if your French train is delayed or cancelled and you miss your Eurostar connection back to London,  Eurostar will get you on to a different train home. As for destinations - there is a lot of the South of Fra.ce to choose from.  What are you looking for?     Also Ouigo trains can be a cheaper option than TGVs, but watch out you have to pay extra for things like luggage and seat reservations.  Also they sometimes stop at TGV stations outside the city centre.
    • Do what I do and stick some of these folk on your ignore list.  It's great fun, they just rant away and you will be totally oblivious to it.
