This isn’t exactly new. I lived in a couple flatshares over 20 years ago where the living room had been converted into an additional bedroom
There wasn’t even a dining table, if anyone in the house wanted to socialise we ended up going to our local pub
How did the BBC think a 3 bed family home became a 5 bed hmo. Loft conversion and lounge as a bedroom. Sometimes you’re lucky with a kitchen dinner. If the dining room is separate then you get a 6 bed HMO.
pretty standard for both under grad and post grad house shares, more of an issue when you are looking to settle down long term and possibly have a partner. In my last student house share the biggest available space was the bathroom, we all went to the local instead.
This sounds awful but I tried to avoid my flatmates as much as possible sometimes.
No shit. Has the article writer never heard of a bedsit?
Well yeah.
If you legally restrict housebuilding and stick on enormous bureaucratic burdens on the little housebuilding that does happen, then housing construction can’t keep up with population growth and the only solution is cramming more people into the existing stock. And you end up with this.
I remember looking at a bedroom in a “house share”and the kitchen was in a corridor! Like the end of a corridor. Lol I just walked out
I live in a HMO 2 doors down from my parents, the layout is exactly the same however my parents have a 3 bedroom house with living room and dining room, at my HMO they’ve converted the dining room and living room into bedrooms so there’s 5 of us in what “technically” would be a 3 bedroom house.
When i rented in Edinburgh 1987-1994 there was always 3 of us in a two bed flat- i usually managed to boss the living room as my bedroom!
