Double room in central Queer Hackney house

Ad ref# 15752396

Hey everyone, our housemate has bought a house, so we have a 3-month sublet available in a house share in Hackney E8 (And we would be looking to sign for another year in September!) Move in date 15th June.
Details below...
Rent + bills (pcm): £626.66pcm, plus bills at about. £60 – 85pcm
Tenancy: You will be subletting from a previous tenant for 3-months.
Tenancy: The contract is a 1-year tenancy that started on 15th September 2020 – you would be replacing a tenant who is moving out and would sign a sublet agreement with the agents for 3-months. It’s an assured shorthold tenancy with a live-out landlord (not us) who manages the property through an agency – we haven’t had any difficulties so far with the agent, and have literally never interacted with the landlord.
Benefits + references etc: The let is through an agency who have said they won’t accept benefits, unfortunately, and they ask for a reference from an employer (or equivalent documents for self-employed people, or a guarantor for students). Their exact requirements for references are (in their words):
Employment contract/reference
3 months recent bank statements
3 months recent payslips
Passport
Landlord reference
Copy of passport / visa where applicable
Deposit: £400
Accessibility info: Steps – there is a step into the house and another out into the back garden, and about 30 steps up to the room which is on the top (2nd) floor. No steps within the floors. It isn’t a fragrance-free house. The shower is also in a bath (as opposed to a cubicle without a step). There is no phone entry system in the house.
Please let me know if you have any other accessibility related questions and I’ll do my best to answer them!
Description:
The house is on an estate away from main roads, and it also has a parking space. Hackney Downs and Hackney Central stations are both less than 5 minutes’ walk away, so it’s pretty well connected to North and East London. There’s a big Tesco and an Iceland under 10 mins walk away, the rest of the shops on Mare Street and London Fields or Churchyard Gardens nearby for some green space!
The ground floor has a combined kitchen and living room but with an open dividing wall in between (see pics) and a toilet, and access to the private back garden (which we’re currently in the process of sorting out if anyone has a grand landscaping vision or easy access to gravel).
About us:
There are currently 4 of us in the house, all working from home thanks to Ms. Rona. Over the past 8 months we’ve become addicted to Michael McIntyre’s ‘The Wheel’, developed an unhealthy parasocial relationship with Bimini Bon Boulash and upgraded to an extra-large 10-cup moka pot. Mild cabin fever aside, we all respect each other’s space and needs but are equally up for socialising, eating meals together occasionally etc.
**A huge Eurovision extravaganza planned for May 22nd!**
Ell:
Hi! My name’s Ell (they/them), I’m 24 years old, pan and non-binary. I come from Brighton originally, moved to London in 2019 and am now working in tech & cybersecurity. In my spare time I am a (very) amateur DJ and am into the East London music and club scene (read: hibernating until 21st June) , although I’m no stranger to spending an evening Gaming™.
Hannah
:
Hi, I’m Hannah (she/her) (vaccinated!! ). I’m a 26 year old bi cis woman. I’m from Milton Keynes, but went to uni in Aberystwyth and have been living in London for a couple of years. I’m a full-time policy researcher for a charity and active Union member I love finding new places to eat and going on walks to find them (I go for runs as well, but don’t enjoy them). Always up for a chat and hanging out, especially over drinks or at a gig once they open up, but am just as happy chilling by myself with video games, listening to music or weird podcasts, or watching football (I’m sorry to say that I support Arsenal).
For reference, I’m also autistic and would welcome any other neurodivergent housemates!
Luke:
Hi I’m Luke (He/Him). I’m a Scottish - insert your best Scottish accent here - Musical Theatre graduate who plays guitar, piano and uke (we can totally duet if you’re into that or I can serenade you). My non acting job is currently working as a Bartender for a cocktail bar in Islington. Alcohol and singing, what more could you possibly want?
I love chatting and getting to know people. I’m also a Pisces (if you’re into that). Can’t wait to hear from you soon
Ffion:
Hi, I’m Ffion (she/her). I'm an extrovert with introvert tendencies, so I know how to respect all ways of living. I love drag race, Eurovision (I make a couture piece every year - DM for further deets), and all things sport (I work in sport as a marketing manager/agent). So I have a mixture of hobbies and interests to get along with people. Very easy going and always interested in learning about what people enjoy.
Get in touch: send me a dm if you’re interested and we can have a chat/arrange to see the house properly.
Look forward to chatting! 😊
