About this app

As the UK’s number 1 flatshare site, we’ve helped over 13,000,000 people to find their perfect flatmate or flatshare. With our apps, you can do it all while on-the-go.

Suitable for Everyone

Whether you’re starting university, relocating to the UK, tired of living alone, weighing up what to do with an empty room, or, quite simply, searching for another flatmate or flatshare, we’re the service for you.

Unrivalled Choice

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.

Our Philosophy

Experience has taught us that flat sharing is as much about the people as it is about the property. To help you find the best of both, we provide unparalleled tools, choice, and support. As a result, on average, every 3 minutes someone finds a flatmate through SpareRoom.

Does what it promises. A little disappointed that there seems a need to boost ads by default but it has helped in the search for lodgers. I personally don't use many of the features but the process of creating ads and the subsequent management of prospective enquiries is good.

Hi Martin, thanks for your review! Boosts are optional extras to purchase once upgraded, which push your ad to the top for 24 hours and mark it as ‘Boosted’ for 24 hours. You can also use ‘Renew’ (included with your upgrade) to push your ad higher in the listings. We’d recommend doing this at least once a day. Best wishes, The SpareRoom Team

I love how many searches and how many filters you can do with each search. I can go from immediate alerts for my very picky persnicaty self to the I just need a reasonable room with once a day alerts. Love the app!!

Easy to use to place an ad and very easy and to get in touch with potential house mates, house shares or landlords. I've used the app several times now and highly recommend.
