Hi,
I am planning to rent a room in Manchester / London soon. Do you recommend any web sites with flatshare / houseshare?
Thank you in advance.
gumtree.com - there are separate boards by city
Watch out for scammers though - unfortunately there are scammers looking on boards like this trying to get money. Don’t ever wire money or send a cheque as a deposit before you have seen the room in person and met the person you will be living with. The typical scam is to ask you to send money to a friend via Western Union or Money Gram and send the receipt to the "renter" to prove that you have the funds, but they end up using a fake ID to withdraw the money from Western Union.
But as long as you speak to an actual person, view the flat and meet your potential flatmates in person, then you should not get scammed.
