Description

Myself and my housemate live in a block of Guardianship flats in Clapham, and have a room up for grabs.
A bit about us - we’re both professionals working in tech and city planning. We’re both busy bees with lots going on, but are well natured and respect each other's privacy. As we are not in the house a lot, we are looking for a flatmate who does not WFH to keep utility usage reasonably distributed, and is comfortable living in a quiet house. We are however friendly and quick to sort things out amongst us.

This three bedroom flat is let as a single unit, so we are collectively liable for the apartment's rent being paid in full each month.
This is possibly the most affordable rent in London and you get great bang for your buck-

Pros

:sparkles: Under £450 a month all in (bills come to around 110 but may ease off a little in the summer)
- lots of space and light, massive shared living room
- separate toilet and shower/bathroom
- very flexible notice periods
- possibility of either furnished or unfurnished
- convenient area - bus stop immediately outside, Clapham South tube 17 mins walk/5 min cycle
- really cheap parking immediately outside the house

Cons (I like to be upfront about these things)
- Limited accessibility (fourth floor and no lift)
- low-key kitchen
- no broadband - we all just hotspot and have been completely fine.

The most important thing to note is that THIS IS A GUARDIANSHIP. It is not a standard lease, and there are a couple of things to be aware of:
:face_with_cowboy_hat: you will have to pass the Guardianship checks by providing three months of payslips and an employment reference. These are completed incredibly quickly, but are non-negotiable and outside of our control flexibility works both ways - you can give the Guardian company a month’s notice, but they can also give you a month’s notice (we have no real reason to think that will be imminent).
:face_with_cowboy_hat: the block of flats isn’t up to the most spic and span modern specs - it’s well lived in, but warm, safe, and incredible space and convenience for the price.
:face_with_cowboy_hat: as the flat is let as a unit/like a joint lease, the tenants are liable to pay the full price, rather than the price of a room.

Please don’t hesitate to send a message if you are interested, and supply us with an introduction to yourself, and the following information, as it would be super helpful!:

- Confirmation that you can provide ALL documentation mentioned above
- Type of work you do
- Gender and age
- Percentage of the time you may work from home
- The values you consider most important in housemates

Looking forward to hearing from you!
