Process:
Step1: Please send a message with a bit about you, your ideal timeframe within the 6 months, what your typical week looks like, and why you'd like to live here :)
Step2: We will shortlist responses and then reach out for a short 15minute video call.
Step3: Invitation to meet in-person & inspect the room. Happy to send across videos in advance too
Step4: Offers to sub-let the room will be communicated after we've had the video call and in-person inspection. Note: this is a short-term sublet, not a lease transfer and won't suit people who are looking for long-term.
Our ideal preference is a 3-month sublet with option to extend to 6-months if we all love living together.
This will all happen <12th Feb.

About the flatmates
You’ll be living with a couple, Jess (she/her) and Jesse (he/him), both in our mid to late 30s. We’re independent freelance workers in creative fields and like the house to feel relaxed and easy, everyone doing their own thing, with the occasional kitchen catch up or balcony drink.
Jesse is a sound engineer, happiest with a good record on in his studio, something cooking, or getting absorbed in a creative project. Jess works in design and is happiest when dancing, surfing, or spending time with her favourite people. As introverts, we recoup energy and recharge at home.
The household vibe is calm, friendly, quiet and very independent. We’re an LGBTQIA+ friendly home, respectful of neurodiversity needs, and mindful of dietary requirements in shared spaces. It’s a peaceful home where privacy is respected.
We share the basics of keeping the place running & homely, including cleaning, bins, paying bills promptly, and the occasional bit of garden care. We’re equity-minded and aim for a fair split based on time, energy, and skills, and we’re always happy to talk it through so it feels balanced. At the end of the day, our main need is for you to be proactive and care for the house and each other. We want this dynamic to feel easeful.
We’re looking for one person only, no couples and no pets please.
