Double Bedroom near Old Street

Hi there!

I'm looking for a new flatmate to take over the second bedroom in this lovely 2-bedroom flat, as my current flatmate is moving out of London. Here's everything you need to know:

The Room
🛏️ A spacious double bedroom with a comfortable bed, plenty of wardrobe space, and an amazing view.

The Flat
🏢 Located on the 7th floor (lift access available—though it’s a bit old and slow).
📍 Only a 10-minute walk to Old Street Station and 20 minutes to Hoxton Station.
🛒 Nearby stores include Tesco, Aldi, Co-op, Sainsbury's, Superdrug, and Argos.
🍴 Surrounded by fantastic bars and restaurants for social evenings.

Rent & Bills
💷 Rent: £975 per month (excluding bills).
💡 Bills: Approximately £100–£150 per person per month.
💼 You’ll sign the tenancy contract directly with the agency (Foxtons). The entire contract of the flat (including mine) will be renewed. Minimum for 1 year but if you can do 2 or 3 years that'd be great. (Moving is a headache).

Reference Check Requirements
Please be prepared for the agency's reference process, which includes:

Address history for the past 3 years.
- 3 months of recent bank statements (6 months if self employed, plus a tax return).
- Proof of address (bank, credit card, or mobile phone statement).
- 3 months of recent payslips.
- Photographic ID (passport or driving license).
- Residence permit/visa and Home Office share code (if applicable).
- Contact details for your employer (for email verification).
- Contact details for your previous landlord (for email verification).
- Emergency contact information (next of kin).
Don’t worry—while it sounds like a lot, it should only take about a week to complete the whole process!
