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.

The app helps promote people squeezing you into their home as a 'lodger' for the same price, if not more, as regular HMOs, but without any of the rental protection and none of the privacy. Also has a terrible feature where you have to pay £20+ if you want to message any decent adverts

Hi Leon, 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

Best way to find a room in London. Especially with the current housing crisis. The best feature is the filtering - you can really weed out the places you're not interested in.

Excellent app. I used this as a current tenant to find a new person to share with and came across some great people, finally filling the space. I love the features of the app, the labels, read messages, filters on searches, and the ability to filter by LGBT specifically was great.

What's new

In this update, you’ll see that we’ve introduced a new feature to messaging: bulk reply. It’s a way for you to quickly respond to multiple other users if they aren’t suitable for your room/property or if their room/property doesn’t meet your requirements. To keep your inbox manageable and organised, you can also delete those conversations afterwards with just one tap.

Plus, when viewing ads for rooms/properties, you’ll now see a list of ads from the same advertiser at the bottom of the screen.
