*Brixton flatshare thread

Hi, Looking for a room/flat type thing (4 walls, a floor maybe a ceiling but im not shoosy) in or around Brixton, walking distance to offline etc...

Smoker, ex-teacher, not really employed at the moment but going stir crazy in st albans and need to get back to the real world.

Would like a place with a garden, (Bipolar and have a endancy to be awake at 2 in the morning, so would like to be able to get some fresh air without wandering the late night streets of brixton.)

please pm if there are any places going.

cheers
 
Mate, look at the ad above - sounds perfect! good price too - bills included
 
plus dante, i've got a mate looking to move to the area ASAP whose a nice bloke. if youse can find someone else you might be able to find a decent lpace in teh area. drop me a pm if you think that would be cool and i'll arrange a meeting.
 
still looking, nice idea bluestreak, but havent found anyone wanting to share with me (maybe a shared house isnt such a good idea ;) )
 
Hi,
I'm hoping to move into the Brixton/Herne Hill area sometime in the next month or two. Can someone tell me if £550 a month all inclusive is a good deal for a shared flat on Effra Parade?
I thought I was getting a great deal because it had wireless, freeview and the flat is new and the room is a reasonably sized double.

Now that I'm reading of people paying £328, I'm not so sure!
 
it's about right, mind. 328 is damn cheap. most people around here pay around 380-450 pppm, wihout bills.
 
Thanks a lot, bluestreak.

I'm a bit apprehensive about moving here and getting ripped off in the process!

The day I came to view the flat, one of the residents was standing outside the flats with dried blood and bruises on his face, talking about how he'd been knocked unconscious and then robbed of his phone and cash as he was unlocking the door to the building!

I was quite shocked as it looks like a new gated development, all secure and everything.
 
Hi !
We are still looking for 2 flamates for the double bedroom (ad : 09/05/07) but...now it's available the 1st of july.
If anyone is interested feel free to contact me by PM.

looking for a flatshare!

hello all

I'm looking for a furnished room in a flatshare in Brixton, if anyone has any leads .... I'm a 27 year old American woman, working with the Battersea Arts Centre this summer (until the beginning of October, actually) and ideally I'd like to live in a creative, funky, mellow, cheap (around 450 pm inc) flatshare (if there are any of those left in Brixton ...) happy to pitch in with cleaning and communal cooking, gardening, etc ... was very lucky to find not one but two such flatshares the last time I was lucky enough to live in Brixton (2003) and am hoping I've still got a bit of that luck left for this adventure ... give me a shout if any of this sounds good to you! I'm couch-surfing at a friends' for the moment and would like to move sometime soon but can wait for the right place if necessary! my mobile number is 07807 1953 43 -- thanks!

Big double room available in penthouse flat between peckham rye and
camberwell... It's the top floor flat of a big georgian house with shared
garden and direct access through back staircase. The flat has great views of
the london skyline and a large living room with dining table. The water
comes out of the shower hot and fast and the cooker is gas. Share with a
down to earth easygoing and sociable female, 30. You should be relaxed and
easy going and have a passion for something interesting you can teach me all
about. In return I'll introduce you to local friends, local pubs, play you
at chess and tell you all about how to solve world poverty (I'm doing a phd
in development economics you see).

Practicalities: Rent is £100 pw plus bills, but the flat is exempt from
council tax because I am a student. I have a cleaner that comes every once
in a while, freeview, central heating, washing machine. I don't own the flat
but the landlord is pretty cool about doing things to it. The room is white
walls beige carpet, and you can decorate it however you like to make it
homely. It's about 8 mins walk to peckham rye station, and 5 mins to the bus
stop for the 12, 171, 436, 36, 345 on peckham road. Smoking is allowed in
the flat, but I do not smoke heavily at home, and could easily keep it to my
room if it bothered you.
 
...I received few MP and phone calls regarding the room we have to rent in Brixton Hill from the 1 st of july...and...I am a little bit (but not so much !) surprised about the questions few people asked me !
So i decided to write a new ad and yes definitively a cat is an animal !!
THE ROOM - huge bright sunny room with two double beds, two cupboards, shelves, and bed side tables, and room to spare. The room is very big, and there is plenty of room for two people, even three if need be....

THE HOUSE - Spacious house,huge lounge with sofas and dining table,fully furnished kitchen, large garden to tan and have barbies in, veggie patch, Freeview TV, wireless internet connection, on 24 hour bus route, close to Brixton Station, 5 min walk to Sainsbury's local, 5 min walk to Post Office, close to Clapham Common, we all walk over to Two Brewers on a sat night, 5 min to Brockwell Park.

THE PEOPLE - clean living, considerate, mature bunch, who enjoy a glass of wine together, sometimes cook together, but respect each other's space at the same time. We would prefer two people over 30, or at least be mature, and must be clean living. We also have a lovable cat. It is a home to all who live here, not just a place to sleep. Two smokers in the house, and they are considerate smokers.

THE BILLS - In plain simple English, the room is being rented out for £640.00 per calender month, and this amount will be paid monthly on the first day of each new month, we do not pay weekly. The room is for friends who want to share, or a couple, so therefore each person will pay £320.00 monthly, ALL BILLS INCLUSIVE...

One month's rent and one month's deposit required.
Feel free to contact me by PM.

Due to our former housemate moving on into the world of coupledom ivebeenhigh and his housemates are looking for a new housemate.

The house is is in West Dulwich, its fricking huge - it has 5 bedrooms, 1 bathroom (bath and seperate shower), 1 seperate toilet, a living room, a huge conservatory that doubles as the dining room, fully featured kitchen (w/ dishwaher) and a really nice patio and back garden with a pond!

Rent is 350 pcm due on the 10th. Bills arent included in the rent and work out at about £100 a month, this also includes wireless internet access. plus I will do you tech support if you have any computer issues.

The house is 5 minutes walk to Gypsy Hill to go to Clapham Junction/Croydon or about 7 minutes walk to West Duclwich for Victoria. The commute to Central London is 40 minutes.

We are also very near a night bus route so getting around late at night is simple and safe. Its the N3 so getting to Brixton and the tube only takes 15 minutes.

As for us we have all known each other a couple of years, we get on well together and socialise but also have our own social groups. We have a dog that lives with us so we cant hae anyone moving that has a dog. the dog is tiny and house trained and adorable. Smoking is fine as is drinking and pretty much every thing else so long as you share :)

As for what we are looking for? Sociable, fun, laidback, outgoing are all great things, you could be a builder or a rocket scientist what you do doesnt really matter.

PM if you are interested, the room is available immediately.
 
short let in central brixton - august

my friend has a double room going in her house for the month of august, exact dates negotiable. It's in a quiet road a few mins walk from central Brixton, close to the tube, cinema, market, all the boozers etc. House is friendly, 4 other people staying there, all mod cons, garden, space for bikes.

Would suit someone staying here for a short time, or in the process of moving house etc.

PM me for more details.
:)
 
Hi ummm Indigo4 here - room needed

Just been told yesterday that we are all being evicted from our lovely 6 double bedroom victorian house (alright it's in a dodgy part of Brixton) but hey.... it sucks and I'm going to be needing to look for a room, ideally in Brixton but will move further afield...trouble is I have a cat, poppy and lovely though she is it's still a cat...

I had thought that I could move as a house with my flatmates but one of them now suddenly wants to move to Birmingham, one to Wapping, one wants to go to India and one wants to live in a squat...the other one does'nt even know she's being evicted...

which just leaves me and a cat....so if anyone has a room available please do PM me, I have 2 months to move and am very friendly...well most of the time....
 
now looking for a room for a girl and a cat.

maybe she and indigo should team up.

two girls, two cats... you know it makes sense.
 
Hi,

I've got a double room available from 3rd Aug; £375 pcm includes council tax (other bills excluded but not huge). It's a 2 bed flat off Acre lane, 7 mins Clapham North tube, 10 mins brixton. Broadband, washing machine plus a 40 inch TV that I bought by mistake off ebay...
I'm a part-time teacher / eternal student & I've lived here about 10 yrs so it has a bit of wear & tear (ie its not an IKEA show-flat) but it is a good room for the price & I'm pretty laidback (I hope).
I'm on a rolling contract at the moment so no need to commit to any length of time, would need at least 2 weeks deposit though.
I've had couples sharing the room before so that's possible.
PM any questions etc

Just to let people know that Choc & I will have a great room available from August 1st.
I *think* it'll be £335 per month rent incl. council tax. It's huge, airy, big windows, light, unfurnished though, & right in Central Brixton (two mins from the tube) but not on the main road.

It's definitely the best room in the house.

Male would be preferable, since we already have two girls living there.
We have wireless broadband, bills aren't usually that much and we're both really chilled, nice, easy going flatmates.

We smoke in the evening in the lounge room, but not massively.
Click to expand...

same room is going again from 1 of august pm me or tastebud. :)
 
oh yep the sex doesn't matter really. and a foreign or just interesting and reliable and quiet person :)
 
I am rubber you are glue?

sorry - that's probably too witty for you

(but it does rhyme, oh yeah)
 
darn it choc

im looking for a room but not am not foreign, interesting, quiet or reliable..

the commune won't accept me because I work for an evil multinational so that pipe dream went down the pan..

looked at 6 properties now and none of them are right...grrr i guess im never going to find another 6 doublebedroomed houseshare only paying £300PM including bills.....

the 10 double bedroomed place across the road that looked hopeful was just like a tower block of tiny rabbit hutched rooms all ontop of each other, the living room was the size of a ten pound note and for ten people....nothing like the photo on the website...

doomed doomed - london bridge here i come...la la la la la
 
thanks kai..

ive seen a few off the gum tree and seeing some more its just that no one wants a goddamed cat, my ex boyfriend said he would have her but she never liked him and cant imagine she will get on with his "scratch your eyes out as quick as look at you" mental cat...

so where's bluestreak. was he looking for a cat, i might have to give her away, my sanity isn't able to take being homeless for much longer!
 
alright, let's do this properly.

Myself, zora, and gergl live in a very nice (in a scruffy way) flat just off railton road. we're currently looking for a new housemate. the flat is a laid back house which tends to be quite noisy, especially at weekends, so you shouldn't be the kind of person bothered by this sort of thing. your room will have a double bed and a warderobe, and a lovely view of the south london skyline when the sun sets. You are within a few minutes walk of brixton and herne hill stations, there's an offie a few paces away, the neighbours and friendly and you're near enough to brockwell park that you can smell it. well, not quite. we don't have a garden, sadly, and we front onto a fairly busy road, so not really any good for kittehs unless they're used to being house cats. we like kittehs though. it's also a smoking house. well, it's kind of an everything house tbh.

the rent is 390 a month, plus bills. we have broadband but not sky tv or cable or any of that shit. the landlady is pretty good, stays out of our business but gets any important stuff done quickly and efficiently. she'll probably want a letter from your job stating how much you earn. i haven't got a clue where she stands on students or parent guaruntors.

no humourless bastards, people who object to clutter, people who object to occasionally noisy evenings or DJs, and i wouldn't recommend it for anyone with a dust allergy either.

drop us a PM if you're interested and we'll talk. be good to us urban, don't make us take one of those real people.
