If you’re a home owner looking to make some extra cash, you’ll want to pay attention to these five tips.
There are so many ways you can make your home work harder and get some extra cash in your pocket, like renting out any spare rooms or storage space you have or letting someone use your home as an office. You could even home swap and get a free holiday. The possibilities are endless.
Rent out your driveway
If you live near an airport or a football ground, parking spaces are always in high demand. And if you have a drive, you could let people park their car for a lower cost than they would pay elsewhere. This could be a nice little monthly earner if you live in the right area.
Rent out your spare room
If you have a spare room that’s just collecting dust, clear it out and turn it into a little money maker. We’re offering £78.75 cashback for letting out your room on Airbnb, so it’s a double cash earner.
If you spend a good few weeks of the year away from home, you could also advertise your house on HomeAway UK Holiday-Rentals. You can also get £50 cashback when listing your property on the site.
Make your house famous
You can register your home with agency’s such as Film locations or Shoot factory and be in with a chance of having your home chosen to be the location for a TV show, film or photoshoot. These types of companies offer anywhere from £500 to £2,000 to use your house for the day.
Turn your house into a business space
If you have a spare room in your house but don’t fancy a lodger, you can rent your room out to people that are looking for office space. Websites like Vrumi and Spacehop allow you to rent out your spare room as a work space, as long as you have a desk, chair and Wi-Fi.
Do a home swap
Swapping homes is also a good way to make money on your home, while also getting a free holiday. You simply pick someone you’d like to do a swap with and you stay in their house while they stay in yours – just like the film, The Holiday. While you won’t make money on the actual swap, you can make money by doing the house swap through us. We’re offering 22% cashback when booking a holiday through the swapping scheme Love Home Swap Holidays.
