The Return of the Lodgers - will homeowners start to share their space and add to the accidental landlord numbers?

As we see more and more home-owners struggling with mortgages and facing up to the harsh realities of negative equity, will we see the return of the lodger.

Many individuals have jumped into the property market and are now faced with an uncertain financial future.

Sharing a fridge with strangers is far from the dream but will this be a proposal that more and more homeowners will start to consider.

An increase in lodgers will bring more supply into what is perceived as an already flooded rental market.
