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.

Help & Support

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.

Really useful app. Please put the visible eye option on the password for website ! Otherwise, it's an easy to use website and app. Option to post photos and a video.Good, relevant blog and email messages about renting and house share subjects. Fair pricing and ability to pause adverts.

DO NOT PAY THEM! Used to be a good app, but now if you send a message to the landlord they mark it as read right after sent so he/she can't see it! Outdated adds, constantly pushing into pay a fee. Just trying to get money from our pockets.

Hi Ivan, we offer a free service where you can post your ad and contact people for free, the upgrade is optional. If a message is marked as 'Read', this means the advertiser has read your message. We'd be happy to help you get the most from your ad. Please contact us at customerservices@spareroom.co.uk. Best wishes, The SpareRoom Team

It is a nice app to try. You get noticed by house owners, agents, and scammers. However, a person finds his basic requirements as soon as in a week. Cheers!

What’s new

In this update, we've made improvements to browsing through rooms and whole property ads. You'll see that you can now save your favourite ads, and hide ones you’re not interested in, right from the map. We've also made a few other tweaks to make the Map screen more helpful and easier to use.
