Its always cold, even in the summer and I wouldn't mind some extra heat. I have plenty of space to build a server room where the noise isn't an issue. Electricity is 14p a unit unfortunately, but I do have 120KW of it.

I'd already have some miners in there had I not spent all my money on D2s!
I would be interested in hosting but that electricity price would erode any potential rental costs I could offer. My electricity is price is £0.11625 day rate and £0.45773 night rate which works out average £0.101415833

Is there any chance you could shop around for your own electricity supplier for better price instead of using your landlords who probably have not changed it for years? I would assume as business user you could get under 10p.

Just to give some ideas there are some data centres in/near London that offer S9 hosting for £210/month which is a bit too much for me, my costs to run S9 is about £110/month and I would be happy to pay £150 for it to be somewhere else but at your costs it will be £150 just for electricity. I was looking at locating some at my mother in law's house in Latvia but electricity is more expensive there but might consider brother in law in Russia.
