How To Find a Place?

How do I find accommodation? 

With thousands of listings all over the UK and hundreds more being added every day, it's simple to find a place on our website, thesharehouse.co.uk.

Being noticed is key

To increase your chances of getting a room quickly, it's important to make a personal listing. Including a photo of yourself will help you get more replies and put you at the top of the list when potential flatshare are searching.

Start creating your listing now.

Tip

Tip: If you include multiple towns or cities in your listing, you're more likely to appear in search results and receive more potential matches. Make sure to list all the towns or cities you're interested in, including nearby ones.

 

Introduce yourself

Instead of waiting for offers to come to you, take the initiative! Many people advertising rooms expect potential housemates to reach out first. Keep in mind that properties often interview several candidates before making a decision. Don't rely solely on one place; have a few options lined up for inspections.

Requesting an Inspection

When you ask about a property, always remember to politely inquire about the possibility and timing of inspecting the place and meeting the housemates. Depending on the number of inquiries a property has received, this may affect when you can view the room, so it's helpful to be flexible.

Staying Safe

If you're feeling anxious about the inspection or meeting someone new, it's absolutely fine to bring a friend along for company and peace of mind.
