From a survey of over 10,000 people,found that nearly half of home owners rented out a room this year as living alone was not an affordable option.
For financial reasons, like paying off mortgage or bills, nearly 90% of home owners listed a spare room.
Rises in interest rates was also a driving factor for two thirds of people who listed a room for rent.
