Description

A semi-furnished double room is available in a two-bedroom flat from mid-November. The rent is £1,050 per month, with bills paid separately, and the room is intended for one female tenant aged 24 or over.

You would share the flat with the advertiser’s 26-year-old female friend, who works in the City. The household is looking for someone of a similar age who is clean, tidy, respectful and social, and enjoys occasional wine or pub nights. It is not suitable for someone who works mainly from home.

The flat is three minutes from Tooting Bec Station, under five minutes from Tooting Common and less than ten minutes from Balham. There is a Pilates studio below the building, with pubs, restaurants and shops nearby.

Frequently Asked Questions

Use the message button on the listing to introduce yourself to the room lister. Messaging is free. With Membership you see new rooms during their first hours thanks to Early Bird access, and alerts reach you within minutes. A good first message says who you are, when you want to move in, how long you plan to stay, and one or two things about your lifestyle that match the listing.

Look for the Verified badge on the profile, it means the room lister has completed identity verification. Read the full listing, check the lifestyle preferences on each existing flatmate's profile, and review the photos of the room and shared spaces. Always arrange a viewing in person or by video call before sending any money, and never pay a deposit or holding fee before you have signed a tenancy agreement.

Yes, we strongly recommend it. Ask the room lister for a viewing in person, or for a live video tour if you are out of town. Use the viewing to meet the existing flatmates and ask about bills, house rules, and the rest of the household. A genuine room lister will always offer some form of viewing.

The listing shows the monthly rent and whether bills are included. Where bills are included, this usually covers utilities and internet. Confirm with the room lister exactly what is and is not included, and whether there is a deposit, a holding fee, or any agency fees on top.

You and the room lister agree on a move-in date and sign a tenancy agreement directly, the same way you would on any other room-share platform. Dwelles is a marketplace that connects you. The contract, deposit protection, and reference checks remain between you and the room lister. If anything looks suspicious, report the listing and stop communicating.
