For many people renting somewhere to live is the only option, particularly if they are taking a job in a new city or town and don’t know how it will go so we thought we’d put together a review of one of the best flatmate and house share websites available, called Spareroom.co.uk we’ve taken a bit of time to look at the site and also checked out feedback from users.
About The Website
Spareroom has been specifically designed to put renters in touch with each other, the one thing you notice about the site is that it is about people rather than places which we liked. Users can either advertise a room or post a room request by simply registering on the site. The profiles for each let you set preferences such as pets etc as well as tell accommodation hunters what the costs are.
Searching the website is really easy and you can do it without registering (which is free anyway!!), just put in what you are looking for and where and hey presto the right sort of places come up.
The added advantage to using the site rather than just going to a traditional letting agency is that it gives you a chance to check out your potential housemates.
What We Thought
We liked the spareroom.co.uk website as it was very easy to use and has thousands (if not millions of users) so the choice is endless. The searches are pretty easy to use and the amount of information you can access is spot on which means no more endless wandering from rental agent to rental agent. We’ve made the website one of top rated and it’s the first for 2011 !!!
If you are looking for a new place to live and want to hook up with people who share your ideals take a look at spareroom.co.uk.
For all those Royalists out there we thought we’d give a quick mention to one of the opportunistic websites that launched in the past few months, called Theroyalweddingwilliamkate.com the site is one of the better ones with lots of content.
To be honest the thought of Christmas shopping gives me the shudders (even online) so we’ve been looking around for some new shopping sites and come across Ogoow.com that has only just launched.
Online share trading has been around for years but with problems in the stock market and uncertainty over big business including companies like BP people are now looking to at new ways to make a little extra cash online.
We’ve got to hand it to some PR people they do come up with some very good ideas and this is pretty much top of the list at the moment. The Natwivity is basically the Nativity play online. Of course we’re not sure if the idea was thought up by the PR agency or the organisations behind it but we really liked the idea so thought we’d give it a mention here at What’s Good On The Web.
