Bright Double Room Facing Garden -New Cross

Our flatmate is moving out this month, and we’re looking for a new person to join the house! Ideally someone who is slightly more extroverted, socially engaged, and politically aligned with the household. We especially welcome queer, trans, immigrant and POC flatmates. Being responsible, communicative, and interested in a longer-term stay is important to us.

Rent: £830/pcm excluding bills. Bills come up to ~£150/month

Deposit: £700

Available from: now onwards (exact move date is negotiable) but move in no later than 6th March

Tenancy: Long-term ideally but open to sublet for 2-6 months. The contract (residential assured shorthold) will run until January 6th 2027. We communicate directly with the landlord, so no in-between agent fees when signing on.

Benefits + references:

Landlord is flexible, and is happy to consider people on housing benefits. Referencing process is quite relaxed, typically he’ll only ask for: proof of identity, latest payslip/invoice, proof of right to rent, proof of rent being paid on time from the last 3 months (redacted bank statement).
