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.

Our customer support team are here to help you with your search. If you require support, come across a problem, or want to provide feedback, you can get in touch using our new feedback option at the bottom of the home screen.

I've used Spare rooms several time to find lodgers. It's worked well for me in the past, however, this time, i have had to pay extra to get boosted to the top otherwise only a few see your ad. Bit of a con really. I like transparency. This charge isn't transparent. Disappointed.

Hi Steve, the boost places your ad in the top section for 24 hours, this is outlined on the My Ads page. If you have further questions about the Boost or our service in general please email us directly at customerservices@spareroom.co.uk, our Customer Service team would be happy to help you get the most from your ad. Best wishes, The SpareRoom Team

Do not use this app.....it requires you to pay them a subscription fee to contact the relevant ads. The cost starts from £12.99 and you'll potentially only contact one or 2 ads before you no longer need the app its isn't worth it in my opinion...total waste of time

Hi Steven, you can contact Free to Contact adverts straight away on SpareRoom, and you can also contact Early Bird adverts after they've been on the site for 7 days, as they, too, will become Free to Contact. The £12.99 upgrade is for 1 week, this allows you to contact as many ads as you want during that time. Best wishes, The SpareRoom Team

Web app and mobile app don't show the same room ads. I bought one week of early bird access and I used my phone for the majority of the time when I used the app for searching for a room. I started using web app and I realized that some of the ads were only visible on the web app but not on mobile app. Not sure how many ads were hidden during this time..

Hi Ionut-Ciprian, listings on the app, mobile, and desktop site will be the same. If you have filters set up on the app you may see differences when searching on the desktop site as those filters may not be applied. We'd be happy to help you further, please contact us at customerservices@spareroom.co.uk. Best wishes, The SpareRoom Team
