Major renovation - how long did you move out for?

[GardensandGrandDesigns]

We are rewiring, digging up concrete floors, extending. Basically you name it and we are doing it! Had planned on moving out as we have a 4 and 7 year old too. However, Airbnb in our town are 4.5k a month! Contacted an estate agent and he said their landlords are wanting a year minimum contract so that would be 12k. No caravan parks around, family live other side of the country so thinking travel lodge through the worst of it. Anyone else done this and if so how long did you move out for? Thanks!

Sorry to resurrect a zombie thread, but if @GardensandGrandDesigns is still on MN, how did you get on? We are finding ourselves in the same situation- need to move out for building work, rental properties are 12 months minimum tenancies, and airbnb properties are extortionate 😣 I am so jealous of those who can move in with family.

I'm afraid we found the same and had a miserable time moving around budget hotels. It was awful but is now a funny story about how we turned into Alan Partridge during our Reno. Currently sat in our beautiful extension and can say it was worth it. Best of luck!

@GardensandGrandDesigns Thank you so much for replying and I’m so glad that you feel it was worth it, despite the huge stress- I hope I can say the same in two year’s time! 🙏
