How Rooms.net works
Whether you are looking for a room or have one to let, Rooms.net is built to get you talking to the right person quickly — and safely. Here is what to expect from start to finish.
Looking for a room
- Search where you actually want to live. Search by town, postcode, tube or train station, then narrow by price, room type, availability date, whether bills are included and the kind of housemates you are after. Our nearby-area search widens the net when a single neighbourhood is too tight.
- Shortlist and save. Save the rooms you like and set up a saved search so new matches come to you rather than the other way round.
- Message the landlord. Ask your questions and arrange a viewing through Rooms.net, so there is always a record of what was agreed.
- View, then decide. See the room in person before you commit a penny, apply, and move in.
Letting a room
- List your room in minutes. Add photos, set the rent and availability, describe the household and publish. Your first listing is free.
- Reach genuine tenants. Your room appears in searches across the area, and you can feature it to reach more people faster.
- Manage everything in one place. Handle enquiries, applications and viewings from your landlord dashboard.
- Choose your tenant. Compare applicants, arrange viewings and let the room with confidence.
Safety comes as standard
Keeping conversations on Rooms.net means there is always a record, and every listing and message carries a report link. Before you send any money or sign anything, read our short guide to renting safely.
