Steve 0 Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 I've actually used spareroom.co.uk three times to find somewhere to live. I've never really had a problem with flatmates once I've moved in and living with randoms has been a lot of fun. BUT each time I have moved it has taken me a long time to find somewhere suitable. I last moved just after Christmas after my last landlord sold up the flat and kicked all the tenant out. I looked at 11 different places before finding where I'm living now. I've found the trick is to answer as many ads as possible, firstly because so many won't even acknowledge an enquiry. And I've found that a lot of the ads aren't entirely honest in their descriptions. As for the question about living with randoms, I've checked out a lot of flats that have been brilliant however I wasn't too keen on the people living there. Not to say that I'd live in a dump if I thought the people there were cool but that's why it's taken so long to find something. So yeah, my advice is to check out as many places as you can before making a decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 47153 Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 I wouldn't even fancy living in a flat with my mates, never mind randoms. Every thing they did would annoy me and they'd probably end up in bits in the freezer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
