Accommodation Demand

[SimonT]

Could anyone tell me what sort of demand there might be for accommodation in March/April for a 6 month lease?
I am about to sign a 1 year lease with a friend who might only stay for 6 months

I know that many taught Postgrads sign 9 month contracts and so need a place to stay over the summer once the halls they are in shut. So it's probably quite possible that you would find someone at that point, although you might have a little gap
