Top 5 Questions to Ask When Viewing a Flatshare in London

Finding the perfect flatshare in London can feel pretty stressful, but the following five questions should help you make the right choice…

Is there a good landlord?

Landlords vary in their approach, so discovering whether yours is going to be pleasant and unobtrusive is very important.

What amenities are there?

Tumble dryers, dishwashers and baths – these can be real deal breakers for some people. Be sure of your own priorities.

Can people stay over?

If you favour a relaxed household, it’s good to find out whether your potential future housemates feel the same way. Likewise, if you’d rather not have too many strangers in your new home, this is a way to find out.

How many other viewings are there?

This will help you assess the competition – and give you an indication of how quickly you need to move to secure your place.

What’s the move-in date?

If you’re ready to start the next step in your career teaching, then you need to know when you can move in and get settled. Be sure to ask this at the beginning to avoid wasting time.
