Every week a Guardian Money reader submits a question, and it’s up to you to help him or her out – a selection of the best answers will appear in next Saturday’s paper.
This week’s question:
I might quit London to buy a family home in the south-west, renting a room Monday to Friday in the capital for work. I’m 46 with two kids and a wife who doesn’t work. Has anyone done this successfully, or is being a lodger at this age a recipe for disaster?
