I reply ad-hoc, and I'm not by any means a specialist in this stuff... I've never rented out rooms having gone from homeless > squat > homeless > council flat > owning a flat... I've never even rented shared accommodation.
When I reply it's first-hand or second-hand info... in this case second-hand as I've known a lot of colleagues who have moved to the UK and sought to buy a property and struggled to afford it by themselves (even on tech wages).
But sure, feel free to PM.

@Velocio I genuinely do plan to and have mates who would move in. Also have quite a healthy deposit due to a family tragedy when i was a kid, so mortgage payment on a 2 bed flat will be negligible if I let a room out and then will have to pay bills. Currently paying 600 in rent monthly comfortably and able to save a lot, so expect the above to come in at about half that.
You've replied a few times me on the forum (this thread, encryption thread) - always super helpful so cheers for that. If you don't mind, please can I drop you a PM later on this topic? Don't want to share personal details and finances on internet really even though it's anon
