Helpful Housemate sought for St John’s Wood, NW8

Available October 2025

£700 per month (including bills).

Council Tax Band: H

A friendly and sociable older person is seeking a second Helpful Housemate for their home to give them a little bit of help – up to 5 hours a week – in exchange for the lower-than-market-rate rent. This Host prefers that Housemates don’t work or study from home full-time.

This person would really benefit from some light practical help around the house including putting out the bins, doing the occasional shop, caring for the cats, simple IT etc, a little company and knowing there is someone else living in their home. The Helpful Housemate is also requested to keep their bedroom clean and tidy, and leave any communal areas such as the bathroom and kitchen clean and tidy after use.

The accommodation on offer is a nicely presented single bedroom furnished with a single bed, wardrobe, drawers and desk, and shared shower room, and shared use of the kitchen and sitting room.

The person has two cats and a small dog. They are a sociable and chatty Christian. They enjoy browsing social media, watching detective shows, fashion and eating out.

The property is conveniently located just two minutes’ walk from St John’s Wood Station.

Helpful Housemates usually work or study and have a few spare hours each week to offer a light hand to their Host. The ideal Helpful Housemate will be a positive, friendly, kind, helpful and reliable female non-smoker.

If you are interested, please fill in the application form and we will be in touch and can then give you more details about this specific situation and potentially offer you an interview.
