FINANCIAL

All bills included, including Council Tax for two occupants, electricity, gas, water and Virgin broadband/Wi-Fi.
Deposit details to be confirmed.
Bills do not include a TV Licence.
The rent split between the two housemates reflects the difference in room sizes.

CLEANING

No cleaner at present, so we share the usual cleaning and keep the communal areas tidy.
I'm looking for someone who naturally likes to maintain a high level of cleanliness and is happy to share the normal household jobs.

SMOKING

No smoking inside the flat. Smoking on the patio is subject to landlord approval.

PETS

Unfortunately no pets, as the flat is fully carpeted.

HOUSEMATE / FLATSHARE

You'll be sharing with a film-industry professional (ex-finance) who is tidy, clean and fairly independent.
I'm looking for a genuinely friendly flatshare rather than simply two people living separate lives under the same roof. It would be nice to occasionally watch something together, have dinner or a drink, or go out somewhere when it happens naturally.

Equally, we both have our own lives and there's absolutely no expectation to socialise all the time. Having our own space and privacy is just as important.

The idea is simply to have a relaxed, welcoming home where we enjoy each other's company from time to time, rather than just sharing a kitchen.

YOU

Looking for a junior or senior professional (or student) who is mature, tidy, considerate and like-minded, and looking for a peaceful but friendly place to call home.

Someone who enjoys a chat and is naturally sociable around the home, while also being independent and respectful of each other's space.

PLEASE INCLUDE

When getting in touch, please include:

i) What you do for a living + your usual work schedule (WFH / office / hybrid – all welcome)

ii) Your preferred viewing days and times over the coming days (lunch breaks are welcome too).

iii) A little about your interests

iv) Whether 30 November / 1 December would work for you as a move-in date, or your earliest possible move-in date in December.
