Wanted: Room in the East for a really cool friend

Posted on
  • So a good friend and nervous cyclist is looking for a room in East London, preferably with other professionals, so not partying all night at home is what I'm hinting at. She's a stylish good person, so haz the Forum any answers on this?
    With thanks
    Digs

  • Bump for Digger.

    I have a friend that is in the same boat as Digger's. I'm not here to poach or owt but would anyone be able to point me towards a website that deals with renting rooms in flatshares that isn't Gumtree? Mucho thanks.

  • Long shot, BUT if the moon aligns just right and timing and coincidence behave (its only short term and not east so I should probs get off this thread right now), but I'm going to India for 5 weeks (11th Feb-19th Mar).... maybe you/someone you know needs a short term, cheap room in Brixton about then?

    Wools - try flatshare.com

  • I don't think my friend cares too much about where in London but your offer could certainly buy them a bit more time. I'll let them know! Thank you. :)

  • After Digger has asked his friend of course...

  • Gotta be Easts for my friend, my friends...

  • Bumping this, anyone of you lovely Easties got rooms going?

  • I'll have a room free from April in E5. It's my girlfriends house and is very well kept and furnished. Technically it's a 4 bed maisonette, but we have a dining room and study so there's just the two bedrooms; nice and spacious. It's also a couple of doors down from a very good, chilled out pub. Rent would be around the £600 - £650 mark* incl. all bills and a cleaner.

    Your friend sounds like just the type of person we're looking for. PM if it's interesting.

  • Very interesting, have PM'd...

  • A friend is looking for a housemate in Leytonstone (room available now):

    Big furnished double bedroom, sunny south-facing windows.
    10min from Leytonstone tube, 2min from Leytonstone High Rd train.
    Quiet neighbours, sharing with 2 guys. Non smoking.
    Big kitchen, wireless broadband.
    Limited hallway though so more than 1 bike could be tricky (poss could be kept in room, not sure)
    Rent is £100pw plus bills+council tax around £100pcm

    PM me if interested.

  • Thanks Hoefla, I think it's a little far out but am checking, anyone else?

  • Bumping this as it's urgent (Like today urgent), thanks for any help guys.
    Digger

  • And my friend is no longer so wedded to Easts, so maybe South?

  • I don't know if it's useful but when I got let down last year on a room, I searched studio flats on gumtree, and as long as you're looking somewhere without a tube (Stoke Newington was where I was looking) there were a lot of them available for £500 a month inclusive of most bills, and you could rent them on a monthly basis without some massive contract deal. Really helpful if your mate just needs some breathing space.

  • Thanks BR.

  • feeling your urgency here Digger, not that I can help other than this idea.
    Even as a temporary housemate your friend will be entering an established 'world' and as we all know people want to have housemates they can get along with.
    I don't see any details about her other than she's a 'stylish, good person', it might help things a bit if you list her positive attributes/quirks, obviously without making her identity public. For example, if she's vegan that would be a definite plus for some households who only want to share a kitchen with other vegans, or if she works shifts they might prefer that as she'll be out most of the time... etc.

    Hope that helped.

    oh, and BUMP

  • So I found somewhere for today, a breathing space her for a couple of weeks, still looking guys. Thanks Void for the advice. So if anyone knows of a room...

  • Thanks hoefla, have forwarded.

  • Bump time...
