Four years of enjoyable guardianship

My spacious Ad Hoc room became a much-loved home for over 4 years. I had sufficient privacy, whilst having some lovely co-guardians with some of whom I'm still in touch. For me the occasional discomforts of watching over a beautiful but dilapidated mansion were compensated by the charms of the place and its garden. But prospective Guardians do need to manage their expectations - you are rewarded through massively reduced living costs for taking responsibility for a building and adapting to sometimes imperfect living conditions. The deal worked perfectly for me, as it enabled me to fund my start-up business. The arrangement does mean you need prompt support from the Ad Hoc team when things inevitably go wrong, and I found all the staff, whether those in the office whom I never met, or those who visited, extremely helpful, professional and concerned when matters required attention. And when the property was sold and the guardianship sadly ended, everything was tied up with commendable efficiency, including swift repayment of my deposit. I would definitely welcome another guardianship with Ad Hoc.
