Cheap room available in Homerton flat

Kitchen

We’re looking for a new flatmate for our lovely 3-bed ground floor flat in Homerton :)

The room is a decent size and a bargain - £600 + bills (approx £100 a month). It comes furnished with a bed/mattress and wardrobe. There's space for a desk and a big window.

The flat is quite small, but it's modern and functional - we don’t have a living room unfortunately, but there is a small sofa and dining table in the kitchen. We give each other space when cooking and take turns using the kitchen, and it's not an office space. There’s no garden but there is a communal green space outside, and it’s very close to Hackney Marshes and Victoria Park, which are both amazing places to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

It’s round the corner from Homerton overground station and there are plenty of buses. Really great transport links. There’s a Co-op down the road, Tesco and Lidl nearby, a community cinema and plenty of pubs - plus Chatsworth Road down the street. Hackney Central is closeby and the flat is a really great location, situated on a very family-oriented, chilled housing estate. We’ve never had any issues living here and it’s pretty quiet. There’s also space to keep a bike locked up outside if needed.

You’ll be living with James (28) and Charlie (36). We both work in radio/audio/journalism are veggie, and into the arts. The room would suit someone who is happy being independent and doing their own thing, and is looking for a calm, chilled out space to come back to. It's definitely not a party flat and we don't tend to have people round often as there's not much space.

We both really appreciate a clean home and have a cleaning rota for the communal areas (kitchen/bathroom/floors etc) so you would be expected to chip in with keeping things clean and tidy.

We’re looking for someone who wants to stay long term and is used to shared living - over 30, mature, responsible and considerate, and ideally someone who doesn't work from home.

The move in date is beginning of January, but there may be some flexibility, and you’ll need to send a deposit to the flatmate who is leaving. We're looking for someone who is in employment, as the landlord requires a reference check. To keep things fair we all manage at least one of the household bills, so you would be expected to take over one if you moved in. The rent is payable to one tenant by the 1st of every month, who then sends it to the landlord, as he likes to receive it in one lump sum.

We've previously had issues with rent and bills not being paid on time, so just to reiterate that payments can't be late - we have a really good deal with the landlord, and the flat is very good value for the area.

If you're interested, send us a message with a bit about you, your age, and what you’re looking for in a flatshare, your working schedule, plus your availability and we’ll get back to you ASAP :)
