We believe in creating better flatshares
Today, Flatsharing is a way of life for so many of us, across all generations. Almost half of 21-35 year olds rent privately, and a huge proportion of us live in flatshares. However, the 40+ age bracket is actually the fastest growing group in flatsharing.
As more of us rent for longer, we believe flatsharing can be a positive thing. And it all starts with people. Choosing a flatshare is not just about choosing a property to live in. It's about choosing a group of people to share part of your life with.
ideal flatmate's mission is to make that part of your life as good as it can be.
