Five Vital Tips to Find Your Perfect Room
Finding the right room, house-share or flat is essential; it’s somewhere you can relax, feel secure and enjoy spending time with your friends and loved ones. Searching for the perfect room in London or elsewhere can be challenging, so here are five tips that will make the task much easier. 
Make a list of your ‘must-haves’ when it comes to finding a house-share
Before you begin searching bigrooms.net and making appointments, you need to know what you want from your accommodation. Make a list of the most important factors that will help you make a decision, which might include: 
•  Ideal number of housemates and whether you'd prefer students or professionals 
•  Fully inclusive or shared bills and other finances 
•  Private or shared bathroom and amenities (dishwasher, washing machine etc.) 
•  Location and access to shops, work, transportation, etc. 
Work out how much you can pay for a room, flat or shared accommodation
Running out of money can be stressful, that’s why you’ll need to make sure you can afford the room or flat-share. Work out your income and expenses to check that you’ll easily have enough money for rent. You’ll want to include: 
•  Income from your job and any other sources 
•  Cost of loans, credit cards, savings and investments 
•  Cost of food, transport, clothing and entertainment 
•  You should then add 10% to your outgoing expenses to cover any unexpected costs. The money you have left is the maximum you can pay for your rent and bills. 
•  Ideally, you’ll want to find a flat or house-share where the rent is lower than that amount. Every penny you can save will improve your quality of life and reduce your stress levels. 
Start your search for the perfect room to let
