Double Room in Modern East Village Flat

Hi there,

My flatmate’s planning to move out around January, so I’m looking for someone to take over their room in our bright, modern 2-bed flat in East Village, Stratford. There’s some flexibility on the move-in date if needed.

🏡 About the flat
It’s a Get Living-managed apartment, no deposit, just a credit check before being added to the lease. The tenancy runs on a 36-month contract with a standard 2-month break clause, so you can leave anytime with notice and hopefully we could find a replacement

The flat’s spacious, well laid out, and in great condition:

Open-plan kitchen and living room (dishwasher, big fridge/freezer, washer/dryer)

Floor-to-ceiling windows with plenty of natural light

You’d have the main bathroom to yourself, as I have the en-suite

Balcony with city views

Secure bike storage in the building

📍 Location
In the heart of East Village — clean, green, and well connected:

3 mins to Stratford International (DLR & High Speed)

10–12 mins to Stratford Station (Central, Jubilee, Overground, National Rail)

Short walk to Westfield, the Olympic Park, and plenty of cafés, restaurants, and gyms

💰 Rent & bills
Rent is £1,255 pcm. Bills are split roughly as follows:

Energy £30

Electricity £20

Water £20

Council Tax £75

≈ £145 per month each in total.

The rent’s cheaper than current market rates — I’ve been here a while and the contract’s stayed below newer listings.

👋 About me
I’m Alan, early 30s, a software engineer working mostly from the office. I’m tidy, easy-going, and fairly low-key during the week — usually at work, the gym, or cooking in the evenings. Looking for someone similar: friendly, considerate, and easy to live with.

📅 Move-in date
Flexible — ideally around the first week of January but can shift slightly earlier or later.

If you’re interested, send me a quick message with a bit about yourself (work, schedule, etc.) and we can arrange a viewing.

Cheers,
Alan
