Room to rent - Local Blackfriars

Hiya,

I’ve been living in this flat for around 3 years, but I’m moving to Colchester for a new job, so I’m looking for someone to take over my room and my share of the tenancy.

It’s a double ensuite room in a great flat. We’ve kept the place in really good condition, so I’m hoping to find someone who’s just as clean and easy to live with. You’d be living with my housemate, who is staying on.

The location is great, about an 8-10 minute walk to Arndale.

The important bit:

Move-in date: 8th December 2026 (could be a few days earlier if referencing is done)

Bills PER PERSON (approximate):
- Rent: £650 (fixed)
- Council Tax: £108 (fixed)
- Electric: £80 (maximum, varies depending on usage)
- Water: £30 (varies depending on usage)

Total: £868 per month
(based on the maximum estimated utility costs).

One-off costs:
Deposit: £576.50, paid to me to cover my share of the existing deposit
Admin fee: £70 (one-off payment for referencing etc.)

You’d need to be referenced by the letting agent and sign a new tenancy agreement before moving in.

I’m happy for us to meet for a coffee or a viewing first, and my housemate will be around too. If you have any questions, just let me know!

Thanks,
Michelle
