Best Websites to find a Flat

we think this site rocks. it’s one of the number one site used in the UK to find a house, a flat or a flat mate for that matter. when we first moved to London we were on gumtree every spare minute, looking for a house. it’s a user friendly site and I think that’s what makes it so successful.

With almost two million subscribers in Spareroom, one would surely find his or her perfect flatmate. I met my roommate, turned best friend on Spareroom. I was thankful that I had used their service. If not, then maybe I would have already hopped from one apartment to another.

Spareroom is a flat and house share website that caters to United Kingdom. The site is popular among people who would want to split the house rent.

to be honest, I barley used Loot when I was looking for a house to rent in London. it’s a paper that comes out every second day I think, with loads and loads of listings for renting, buying, sharing and houses in London. it’s worth a cross reference, but loot is usually used by people that are hanging around London for a long period of time, that aren’t really looking for that traveler type stay. its aimed more at the ancestry visa stayers, or the sponsorships people.

so the usual deal with flat hunting is that you come up with a rough budget for what you want to pay per week / month and then decide on an area you like, ie South West London, East London etc and then you start hitting up website classifieds and magazines. then you find a few you like, call them up and if by fluke it's still available, go see it, to find out that your potential flatmates are serial farters in the making.

I am the kind of person that values my home. I consider it as a sacred place, and one of my house nightmares is a terrible roommate. I was just fooling around on the net when I stumbled on a site called Flatmate Finder. I was in the process of getting a new home, so I tried the site’s service.

Flatmate Finder is a modern site which helps tenants like me in finding the perfect person to share the rent and the flat with.
