Why should I come to an ideal flatmate event?

We know how stressful, nerve-wracking and difficult it can be to find a decent flatmate. That’s why our website exists, for one – we want to alleviate some of that stress by helping match you to people that really suit your living style.

It’s also why we host regular, free flatmate-finding events, with a range of activities and in different areas. Some of our most popular events are our yoga classes and flatmate bingo sessions, where you can have a bit of fun (and free food and drinks) to break the ice and get to know new people. We also partner up with local businesses for discounted activities after the event!

Whether you’re moving out of home for the first time, just arrived in London, have a room to rent or are on the lookout for some new flatmates, we’ve got you covered.

So why should you come to one of our events? Here are just a few reasons…

1. You’re a working professional

Our events are best suited to professionals with a sensible budget, who want to find like-minded new flatmates!

2. You’re new to London

Our events are currently only held in London (though we have listings all over the country!), so they are ideal if you’re new to the city. You can find out more about different areas: particularly more residential ones which you wouldn’t necessarily have visited as a tourist, but are still super exciting and make great homes!

3. You want to meet potential flatmates in a safe, public space

Our events are a great opportunity to meet up with flatmates you’ve met online, or mingle with other new people. You know you’re in a safe and public environment, with plenty of people on hand to ensure the event is friendly! Read more about safety tips while flathunting here.

4. You have a set budget and want to meet someone in a similar situation

While we always suggest having a bit of a buffer to your budget (it’s worth it for the right place and flatmates), having a sensible budget you can actually afford is really important. It’s also important to connect with flatmates in a similar situation – that way you’ll find a home that you can all afford and feel comfortable in.

5. You have a room in a flatshare that needs to be filled

Our events are also great if you’ve got a spare room that needs filling. You’ll find loads of flatmates looking for a new room, with different budgets and expectations, saving the effort of trawling through online ads!

6. You want to buddy up with someone and find your perfect flat!

Simple – you want to find a great flatmate and flat-hunt together for a great new home.
