Flatshares

Hello All, my mate (Pirati-Kal on these boards) is looking for a flatmate, here's the ad:

--------------
Soon we'll have a double room available in our cosy, first floor 3-bedroom
flat and we're looking for the right person to join us. It's not quite 'all
mod cons' but if you're fine with using a launderette (5 doors away), enjoy
the simple/quirky things in life (no Barbies or Kens, please!!) and want to
be part of a friendly, happy, laid back home then this could be for you.

The Cricklewood Residential Palace (CRP) is currently home to me (34 year
old country girl), my partner (30 year old Dundonian), our brilliant drummer
boy flatster (also 30, practices in reasonable hours) and my 2
(thunder)cats. We're all very friendly, fluffy and house trained!

The room faces the main road (A5) but is double-glazed and a good size.
There's broadband access in the room and lounge and the flat's really close
the the bus stops, local shops and supermarket. There are also plenty of
pubs and eateries. Cricklewood overland is a few minutes away and it's a 10
minute walk to Kilburn and Willesden tube stations (Jubilee). We're also
served by 2 night bus routes. Zone 2/3.

Rent is £67.50 per week (includes council tax and water rates), payable
every 4 or 5 weeks in advance. 4 weeks deposit required.

Available from 9th September '08.

Interested/want to know more? Please send a PM to Han or Pirati-Kal.

Yeah, I'm getting fed up with gumtree too!

Urban, would it be a crazy scheme if i got a flat in brixton and travelled into kingston every day for uni?

Doesn't look too far on the map, and i like the sound of brixton, home of urban. :)

I want a change of scenery, but also somewhere that feels home-ish.

I think you can get the 57 to Kingston from Streatham so it is not like impossible. Not sure how long it takes though and you have to factor in early morning rush hour. Sitting on public transport for more than 90mins one way to Uni would have done my head in personally :hmm:

Just had a think and you could do it easier actually by taking a bus to Clapham Junction from Brixton and get a fast train from there to Kingston.

Wow! That's really really really good value! I've found a place, but I would've considered it otherwise.

Innit! Amazing price for London. You can see why she's been there for 10 years :D - it's not a bad flat, either - well placed for public transport and on a lively and interesting road full of good restaurants/quirky shops.

Easy enough, tube to Vauxhall and then overland, 45 mins each way.
 
we are three 21-22 yr old female students at kingston uni looking for other creative and socialble housemates for a house share, to share a 5 bed flat with, that want to be friends as well as living together. we have found a place £69 p/w in surbiton good for knights park.

we would like to find other art students at knights park campus who want to live in surbiton area with us.

if you are intrested in this houseshare we need to be quick to pay the deposit to secure the flat.

please email me the course you are studying and a bit about yourself and we can let you know more and the property and more about us.
 
One housemate urgently needed. We're about to move into a 4 bedroom house near Oval station (about a 5-10 min walk, 15 from Vauxhall). I haven't even seen it myself yet but I heard it's really nice and we're looking with a girl who has high expectations. Basically we need to pay all the deposit stuff by Sep 6 but one person dropped out so we need to find someone in the next week.

It's all recently done up, 3 double rooms, 1 single a decent size lounge. You'd be living with one female student, another girl about to get a job in London and me a male sub editor. We're all in our early 20s. Rent is about £600 a month each.

If you are interested or know anyone who might be please pm me asap.
 
sites/agencies for studio flats?

are there any sites/agencies that specialise in studio flats in London?

i quite fancy getting a place to myself back in the east end area, not too far from Old st, and unfurnished as i have all my own stuff. but has to be large.

Ads on gumtree are all stupidly expensive as is only to be expected so are there any other sites/forums/agencies worth checking out?

PS and to any cockrings who are going to post up foolishness about "oooh, you won't find anywhere around there for under £200 pw..." don't bother. you will. It's just a matter of looking in the right places.
 
Nice shared house backing on to Brockwell park, 8 mins walk from Brixton Tube and Herne Hill.

Basment room in a relaxed house share looking out on to the Park. Bigish room, wet room, nice kitchen.

Rent is £460 ppm including light, heat and council tax. Broadband is an extra £10.

We'd prefer a girl to keep the gender balance in this house at 50/50 but I guess who you are is more important than what sex you are.
 
looking for a home

Hello people.

I,m squatting in brixton at the moment and very much like the area but not where i,m living.
I,m thinking about taking the leap into rented accomodation, i,ve just started to study with open uni and basically need a calm base to operate my life from, but i,m also open to other ideas, a co-opperative would be nice although i,m finding it very hard to actually get on any waiting lists let alone be offered a home.
I,ve been looking on gumtree but quite frankly a lot of the adverts really scare me as do the pictures of peoples homes.
I just wanna live somewhere down to earth and easy going with nice people!
I don,t need some luxury appartment next to a river for a henious amount of money which i don,t have.
Speaking of which innitially i will be claiming housing ben as i re-adjust to my new living environment/way of doing things.
This doesn,t mean i,m lazy and do nothing.
I,m trying to get into volunteering/training at the mo to get me out of the mindless jobs i do for money.

Or maybe there,s some people out there looking to squat in brixton and we can find something together.
So.
If anyone reads this and has an idea, room to rent, room in a squat, co-op in the brixton and surrounding area.
I,d be more than happy to hear from you.
Oh yeah, i,m 36 a female and my name,s leigh
 
Large double room for £130pw in our flat (£563 pcm). Location is 5 minutes from Elephant and Castle tube, completely central travel wise – apparently some MP’s live in the building next door. The building and the flat are brand new and absolutely gorgeous, excellent bathroom with bath and shower, flat also has washer, dishwasher, great kitchen with oven and hob, and a balcony with a view of London. The room is great value if like us you are a couple as you then split the cost, it is certainly large enough for 2 people and it comes with a double bed and its own door onto the balcony. In summer this will be awesome.

The area is great – Walworth road has everything in the way only proper traditional London high streets can – there’s a range of supermarkets from budget to M&S and East Street market happens 3 days a week with value I still cannot comprehend. There are 2 gyms nearby, we’re members of the Fitness First one which is 10 mins walk. Security isn’t an issue with the building having a 24 hour doorman, but just for overkill it neighbours a huge police station.

I’m a student and my girlfriend is (mostly) a chef, so we are out of the house most of the day 5 days a week. We are as inclusive or private as you like really, we like to cook and are up for people chipping in and having shared meals and going out locally – but just as happy if you want to hide in your room .

I'd just like to stress how new and clean this place is; its like living in a hotel.
 
I'm going travelling and need to put someone in my room....

Large double room in a 6 bedroom house in Hackney. £100pw. Completely off the main road and also double glazed so very quiet. It has a garden, a really nice clean kitchen, and is generally spacious.

Location wise its very close to both Hackney Central and Homerton Stations and also loads of good bus routes. There are about a million 24hour shops as its in between Chatsworth Road and Lower Clapton road.

There's 6 other human beings, 3 students, a clown, a banker and a clothes selling person....

I hate writing adverts! any more info wanted please send me a message, I wish to leave this godforesaken country!
 
We have a room to let in our home in Stoke Newington, sharing with 2 girls both thirty something.

It's a decent sized double with a bed and wardrobe provided and plenty of space for your own furniture. Double glazed and laminate flooring.

£466 per month with one month's rent deposit. It's a private landlord and a bargain for the area.

We also pay £100 per month each into a house account to cover bills including a weekly cleaner.

It's a quiet peaceful place, converted Victorian garden maisonette. You are more than welcome to help me with the gardening! or alternatively sit in the patio. Godd sized kitchen and living room.

All mod cons inlcuding wireless broadband and landline with free landline calls.

No pets and non smokers only.

We have both lived here for nearly 2 years so looking for someone who wants a place to call home and not just a room.

If you are interested, please PM me. It's availabale NOW and we need to fill it by the end of January.

two housemates wanted pls!

righty!

fogbat, me and our housemate, frankie are looking for two housemates, as half of ours are moving out when the contract terminates/is due to be renewed on 5th march (not due to our awfulness or owt, they're off to nest with their other halves).

we have a medium and large room on offer (both doubles)

roughly #375 pcm rent (to be negotiated on room size
#50 all in bills pcm

the house is let through an agency, who charge #35 for a credit check, and there *may* also be an admin fee for the contract - we will check.

existinghousematewise: we range in age from 25 to 29, and consist of a straight boy, a gayer (f) and a dirtae bisexual (me).

we are straight friendly, gay friendly, inbetween and undecided friendly.
we are also carnivore, veggie and vegan friendly (meat WILL be eaten and cooked in the house.). fuckit, we're basically just friendly :)

we also like hanging out, singing in the bath, pottering around, watching (or ignoring) telly, running around, staying in, going out..

the house is a big old victorian 4 bed, with a separate shower, a laundry room (washer, dryer and hanging spaces), a large bathroom w/ w/c, a separate toilet, a well equipped kitchen w/a dishwasher, a fairsized back garden with veg growing and a vine which produces grapes at the end of the summer. and a shed which currently looks like dougal from the magic roundabout, but made out of ivy. there will soon be compost an' all.

if you, or anyone you know, might be interested, wang us a pm :)

cheers x
 
oh, it's in east dulwich by the way :)

we're a ten/fifteen minute walk from the station, got peckham rye practically on the doorstep :)

good night buses from central london, and on a 24hr bus to brixton :D

despite it being East Dullwich, we're making our little corner pretty damn fantastic.
 
it's a lovely flat and nice people. i'd move in if i needed a place! do you want me to pass the information forward to see if any of my lot are looking, tastebud?
 
Cheap Double room in Brixton. Available Feb 1st!

It's a big Victorian house, very clean and together and with lots of character. We have a big garden/patio for BBQs & parties etc. Central heating, washing machine, tv/dvd, broadband etc etc.

There's three blokes, a girl (me) and whoever wants to move in. We're arty/creative types I suppose, quite sociable, like going to the boozer, partying, music, havin mates round etc, just looking for someone who is also fairly chilled out.

We're about 10/15 mins walk from the tube, very well served by buses on Brixton Road (3, 59, 159, 133 etc), a few mins from Jamm, a few mins from the beautiful Myatt's Fields park, also walking distance to Camberwell/Loughborough Junction. Shops, off licence, chippy, chemist, doctor's, cashpoint etc all within a few mins walk. The SW9 postcode makes you look hard.

Rent is £395 a month, plus £40 for bills (which covers everything) - works out at a bargain £90 a week plus bills. PM me if you're interested.

Available from February 1st!

:mad: fail! :(

right.
sorry, we've been told that the contract *isn't* being renewed as the house is being sold.
we've until the 4th april to leave (providing we can get two people in for a month on 5th march), else we all go on 5th march.

i think fogbat and f. may still maybe looking for housemates for their new abode if they're still sticking together - i heartily recommend contacting foggy to discuss further (or to let him know of any other rooms going anywhere).
i'm not sure what i'm doing yet :hmm:

sorry for any inconveniences - pm's heading to those who've contacted me about the rooms.

cheers.
 
posting on behalf of my housemate:

"I am looking for a room, with rent somewhere in the region of £450/mth all in (if that's possible?), ideally in the East Dulwich or surrounding areas?

I am a 25 year old female, looking for a relaxed household. I live with tufty at the moment, and like where we live but unfortunately need to move.

My interests .. Tea/coffee and cake are good! Other than that, I like (in no particular order) .. watching DVDs, reading (always have about 5 books on the go), going on the internet, having a good old chat with a friend about the general state of things and all that stuff, shopping, cooking - when I'm in the mood etc etc. I also sing (badly), I like travelling around, I'm vaguely arty/interested in the arts although I'm not personally very creative. I play the violin (and piano) although I've kind of neglected these lately. I'm keen on learning new things and very flexible.

I am a bit of a home-bird - that's not to say I don't enjoy going out, but it's important to me to live somewhere I can enjoy coming home to and feel comfortable. I like my house to be a home. I'd like to think I'm a considerate, responsible, respectful and friendly person to live with. I'm definitely not an excessively noisy person, although I like to be sociable and get to know the people I'm living with

I should say more about my work .. I'm a secretary in a small law firm in North West London .. but I like East Dulwich so much I'm prepared to trek all the way there and back every day!

If you have, or know of anything that might suit, please PM tufty (with an email or phone number) and she will pass on your details to me.

Thank you very much!"
 
Wanted: Room in S London

Hello there,

It looks like I'll be leaving my current shared house very soon because the landlady has decided to sell.

Looking for a room in a shared house / flat. Ideally no more than £500 a month or so.

I'm 28, male, clean and tidy-ish. A smoker but happy to restrict that to outside the house. Good cook, easy-going, enjoy spending time in the pub.
Currently working as a web-editor for an academic company.

Ideally South London, because I'm there at the moment and like it, but open to other suggestions within London.

If you have cats, that's an enormous bonus :)

e2a: I'm moving out of my current place on the 4th March at the latest.
