2 Super Cheap Rooms in a Guardianship in Clapham

Myself and my housemate live in a cracking block of Guardianship flats in Clapham, and have two rooms potentially up for grabs - one smaller room immediately for a longer and one larger from the end of July for either a short or long-term.

A bit about us - we’re both professionals working in education and entertainment/media. We’re both busy bees with lots going on (music, stand up comedy, etc) but love hanging out when we can -cooking some communal veggie meals, drinking a beer in the park, watching series and sitcoms together. Definitely a left-leaning, LGBTQIA+ safe vibe. I have a work offer for all of August and am putting out feelers for either signing over my room entirely, or looking for a short let sign over for 4-7 weeks (can be flexible).

The three bedroom flat is let as a unit ( a total of £989 a month I believe) which we split three ways.
This is possibly the most affordable rent in London and you get great bang for your buck-
Pros
✨500 a month all in (bills come to around 150)
✨lots of space and light, massive shared living room
✨separate toilet and shower/bathroom
✨ very flexible notice periods
✨possibility of either furnished or unfurnished
✨ lovely housemates (if we say so ourselves ☺️)
✨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)
👉The larger bedroom can be noisy with nearby construction (earplugs sort you out just fine)
👉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:
🤠 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).
🤠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.
🤠 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.

We’ve been very happy here! We’re also open to shorter lets, and can provide the rooms furnished or unfurnished (I have a good deal of furniture I am happy to sell to a new flatmate at a very good price).

Please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
