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.

good experience overall. I don't see why there is a premium option, we are all here to find a place where to live and some of us don't have finances to afford that cost but the option of a room that could be a great fit is just out of reach as you can't contact the landlord. in my opinion is a bit of a money grab scheme.

Hi Marcello, thanks for your feedback. You are able to contact adverts for free on SpareRoom, you can contact Free to Contact adverts straight away, 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. Best wishes, The SpareRoom Team

Advertisers barely reply, almost as if they don't want people to rent... There should be a mandatory call button, I've been looking for a place for 2 weeks, messaged many people (kindly and no red flags), and barely managed to get a couple replies... waste of time.

Hi Camil, we're sorry to hear the advertiser hasn't replied to you yet. If you haven't already, we recommend posting a Room Wanted ad. We find that those with an ad gain a better response than those who don't. We'd be happy to help you do this. Please contact us directly on 0161 768 1162. Best wishes, The SpareRoom Team

Does the job nicely. Recommend it 👌🏻 Great website. Easy to post the ad with photos and video to promote the room. I have had lots of messages from potential lodger's and found perfect people for 2 rooms within 2 weeks. I have also used it in the past to find myself a room to rent during the week to save a long commute. Great value for money. I like that I can find my old ads in the future if and when I need to advertise again.

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.
