Flat sharing is usually cheaper than renting your own accomodation as all of the costs are generally split between each housemate, helping you to save money. Living in a shared accomodation means the property is bigger and sometimes better than if you are renting by yourself, because if there are more people renting the accommodation then more money can go towards the renting of the property. Flat sharing also has the social benefits of meeting new people which can be an added advantage to flat sharing.

Whilst it is true flatsharing is ideal for students it can also be useful for anyone else who needs to live in a low cost accomodation. In addition to this some people enjoy living in shared accomodation because of the social benefit and enjoyment living with other people brings.

Flat sharing does indeed carry some element of risk but with the help of room portal you can be assured that we will help make it as safe an experience as possible. You are able to select the area you want to live in and the people you want to live with. We will do all that we can to help you find a safe accomodation that meets all of your needs.

Generally in a shared accommodation each tenant has their own private bedroom however sometimes you may have to share a bedroom with someone else. With the help of room portal you can find exactly where you want to live and the type of people you want to live with by placing a room wanted ad informing everyone about your specific needs and wants.

It's possible you may have a personality clash with your flatmates and fail to get along with them. However on room portal you can select where and who you want to live with. Room portal can definitely help you find a flatmate suited to your needs and wants.

A lodger is a tenant someone lives with to get help with financing an accommodation. Lodgers are ideal for people who struggle to afford a mortgage.

If you want your lodger to leave you must let them know in advance becuase they have the right to a reasonable amount of notice. They also have the right to take back their deposit providing no damage has been done to the accommodation and that all rent has been paid.

Sharing bills fairly with other flatmates can be uneasy and can be the cause of disputes. This is why http://www.glide.uk.com/?affiliate=117020 provides services to make paying bills with other flatmates much easier. Glide provides you with a monthly e-bill for your share of the utility bill so it is not necessary to stress about other flatmates.

 Alternatively if you have standard utility bills you can distribute the cost with little effort using https://www.payumi.com.

Payumi can be used for just about anything from splitting the bills and rent with housemates to sharing the cost of a night out.

Absolutely! It's free to search, register as a member and place adverts.

If you are looking to advertise a room or multiple rooms for rent, you can sign up to become a member of the site then place an Ad and select the (Rooms for Rent) tab.

You can try the homepage search module first. Begin your search by selecting the radio button (Find a flatmate or tenant).  If you would prefer to choose more options for your search, then we suggest you click the (Room Wanted) tab and use the basic or advanced search. But don't stop there you may also want to place a Room Wanted Ad, and hope that a good landord finds you! 

Room Portal is the name of the website because we focus mostly on rooms for rent. However, the reality is that a lot of landlords rent out a whole property as a flatshare to several tenants.  Therefore, you may find many whole properties on the website that are either suitable for tenants looking to flatshare or families looking to live together.

We understand that as a landlord you may have multiple rooms for rent and that your time is valuable. Therefore we have ensured that you can post your multiple rooms for rent in a single Room for Rent Ad. 

We understand that there are many experienced landlords out there and experience is what counts. If you are an experieced landlord you may find that it is time to take control and cut costs.  There is no need to let your property out via an Estate Agent when you could do it yourself.  Room Portal gives you the means to minimise your costs and maximise your profits. Moreoever, you do not have to pay us a penny!

Well, unlimited anything is a myth in today's world.  Nonetheless, we have decided to take the unique approach and really offer unlimited advertising for free. Unlike our competitors, we believe some things in life should be free.

There are some landlords that may be time constrained i.e. need to rent out a property asap so they may need more visibility on search results.  Therefore, we have placed an option for site users to upgrade their ads to bold listing, which will help their ad appear on top of the search results of the geographical location.

We would suggest that you first register to use the website. Afterwards place a bold listing for Room Wanted which will also give you early access to landlords that have just placed ads. This will then give you more leverage than other room seekers as your Room Wanted Ad will be on top of the search results.  Moreover, your early access to contact details of recently placed ads (within last 7 days) will certainly help you contact the best ads before most other site users.

We would like to welcome everyone in the UK to use the site and for those who have just come from abroad we would like to go the extra mile to make your experience the same as users that have local town knowledge. We have an advanced mapping system which will allow site users to view properties on the map and at street level and we will even help you plan the journey to ensure your viewing goes smoothly.  Please press the transit tab when you are on the ad details page and you will get a choice of travel routes to the property.
