Trying to Rent a Room - Good website?

marc.wrona

Hi,

Ive been trying to rent a room in my 2 bedroom flat for a few months now. Ive been using the Findaroommate.co.uk website with mixed results. Ive had a few viewings and a few interested emails but nothing too regular. I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good website for doing this? I dont mind paying a bit providing I get genuine interest. Any advice, or indeed any tips about other means of advertising the room would be really appreciated.

Thanks!

If you have had a few viewings and enquiries but nothing from them, have you had a think about what might be putting them off?

I would ring your viewers and ask them for feedback.


Advertising wise - try putting adverts in the windows at your local shops. If you have a uni/college near by that might also be an option.. not all students want to live in digs or communal houses.

Have you tried Loot?

I know some people don't like to use it but I use gumtree.

I would also suggest every time you have a viewing make sure the house is spotlessy clean and keep clutter to the minimum.

I would highly recommend spareroom.co.uk, I've been using it for over 2 years, pay for the early bird and bold advertising and advertise the room well with lots of pictures and I'm sure you'll find someone very quickly! I usually find someone within a month and I rent out on short term lets (avg 3 months).

easyroommate - sounds wrong on many levels but is perfectly innocent.
