Title: How we found a flatmate for our share accommodation

Heading: Step 1 - Create a profile

The Profile Wizard made it really easy to enter our description and preferences. Most of the questions were "point & click", so I zoomed through in about 10 minutes.

We wanted to be contacted by the right people, so I provided enough information and photos, even a short video of the bedroom, to help them decide if our share accommodation was a good fit.

Heading: Step 2 - Read matching profiles

When I finished our profile I opened the Matching Profiles page, which contained 2 lists: Perfect matches and Partial matches.

I could sort the lists of matches, so it was easy to find the profiles we wanted to read. Most of the profiles were well written, and photos and videos were a bonus!

The profiles had all the information we needed to pick the flatmates we wanted to contact; I added them to our shortlist.

Heading: Step 3 - Contact your shortlist

The Shortlist was one of the best parts of the website; it made communicating with everyone really easy.

Apart from getting contact details, the Shortlist lets you send online messages and free SMS’s, rate profiles, make notes and set reminders.

It didn’t take us long to find a great flatmate for our share accommodation - it was a team effort that didn’t feel like any effort at all.

Title: Setting-up shared accommodation If you can’t find share accommodation that has everything you want, or your household furniture, children or pets are making finding a place tricky, setting-up a new shared home is a great alternative! This service matches you with people that have similar preferences so you and your new flatmate can set-up a new shared home together!


Title: Offering short-stay or holiday accommodation If you have accommodation available with a minimum stay of one day or one week, you can advertise your hotel, guest house, bed & breakfast, travellers lodge, hostel, serviced apartment, self-contained living space or share accommodation to thousands of people that search our listings weekly for short stays. Include your business name and address on your profile, direct your advertising to different types of people by advertising each type of room separately, and convert inquires into guests by sending people incentives online!


Title: Offering a self-contained living space If you have a one bedder, studio, granny flat, loft or other type of living space available with its own kitchen facilities, Flatmate Finders can assist you to find singles, couples or friends for short, medium or long-term stays. Your profile lets you specify the length of stay, and the rent for each category of people.
