With thousands of flatsharing opportunities to choose from in London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Edinburgh, Glasgow, and right across the UK, you’ll be able to find your perfect flatmate or flatshare.

Reading some of the reviews here I agree with the one and five star reviews. I do get lots of calls for the room I advertised, however, that only lasts for 3 days or so then the calls drop off to near zero. So to get interest again, after one week you have to pay again, even though you have paid for a 4 week listing. Pressing the renew button sends it up the results search list. This is true, but it's not as effective as your initial listing. For now, it's still the best out there.

Hi Pete, one of the benefits of your upgrade is Renewing, this pushes your ad up in the listings, we recommend doing this daily if your area is busy with new ads being placed daily. You can do this on the My ads page, if you need help with this please contact us directly at [email protected]. Best wishes, The SpareRoom Team

Easy to use, some really good features like pre-written messages, shows who you've already messaged, ability to hide ads etc. Can be frustrating when you continually get messages that don't fit your request but not really the apps fault.

Functionally works very well, it's very smooth, quick and does everything you need it to. And spare room itself is a great thing. I've found homes for myself and tenants and it pulls through when even estate agents don't manage to help!

What’s new

In this update, you’ll see that we’ve introduced viewings.

In just a few taps, if you’re advertising a room or whole property, you’ll be able to send other users an invite to come and view it. We’ve also made it easy to keep track of and manage all of the viewing invites you’ve sent or received in one place.

In coming weeks and months, we’ll have even more to announce about viewings. Stay tuned!
