2 rooms available in South Bermondsey (zone 2)

My lovely flatmates are moving out so I am looking for 3 new flatmates (a couple & a solo) to join me in this flat 😊
 
LOCATION 🏢

This 3 bedroom flat is located in a residential area in South Bermondsey (SE 16) which is a:
-  8 minute walk from Surrey Quays Overground station, one stop away (or 17 minute walk) from Canada Water station (on the Overground, Jubilee lines);
-  3 minute walk from the nearest bus stop for buses 1 and 381 which takes you to Soho through to Hampstead Heath, and easily to other locations via connecting buses;
-  20 minute tube ride or bike to the City of London and Canary Wharf;
-  1 suburb away from London Bridge.
 
For everyday shopping, we are a 10 minute walk to Surrey Quays Shopping Centre, which has a big Tesco Extra, Boots, Poundland, a 7 minute walk to Lidl and just down the road from a 24h Costcutters for all your grocery needs. There are also retail shops (eg. Next, New Look, River Island), Specsavers and O2 phone store.
Next to the Shopping Centre is also a street with more shops, restaurants and cafes! There are also other amenities nearby such as a GP, post offices and drycleaner, and the gorgeous Southwark Park.
 
THE FLAT 🏡
The flat is on the top floor of a quiet and modern apartment building with a balcony. It is well-lit with large windows offering views of the surroundings (can even see the London Eye!). It gets lots of sun and is nice and warm – great for the energy bills in the chilly UK winters. There is also a bike shed (with a lock) behind the building.
 
We have a nice spacious open plan living & dining area and kitchen which is fully furnished, including a tv. The kitchen has all the main essentials e. g. microwave, toaster, kettle, cutlery and crockery (which is shared amongst the flat), fridge/freezer, oven, dishwasher, washing machine/dryer and clothes horse.

ABOUT YOU 👯‍♀️
I am looking for flatmates who are friendly, clean and tidy, sociable but also equally respectful of each other’s space. I am from New Zealand and have been in London for 2 years. I’ve been living in this flat this whole time and love this place so would like to live with people who also want to treat the flat like a home.

As this has always been a household of young working professionals in our late 20s and early 30s working hybrid full-time, preference would be for those in a similar position, aged 22-35 i. e. a single female flatmate, & a couple.
 
Important note: You will need to be earning 30x your share of the monthly rent to pass landlord referencing (for the couple’s room, the couple must have a salary which, combined, equals 30x of the monthly rent).

If you:
a) don’t meet the salary requirements; or
b) don't have a job yet; or
c) are on a fixed term contract ending before Nov 2025; or
d) will still be on a probation period in your job,
you’ll either need to have a UK based guarantor who earns 35x your share of the monthly rent OR pay 6 months’ rent upfront. Sorry about that.

You must also have the right to live and work in the UK.
 
No pets or smokers sorry.
 
I’m hoping to do flat viewings next week so if you’re interested, please drop me a message with a bit about yourselves and any questions you have.

Looking forward to meeting you! 😊
