With this growing demand in mind, EasyRoommate.co.uk is operating the first dedicated hotline on the 24th March to answer questions from tenants and landlords looking for some flatsharing advice.
The national hotline has been set up to coincide with EasyRoommate's inaugural 'Flatmate Day' which celebrates the benefits of flatsharing and the lifestyle it offers. Teaming up with flatsharers online is fast becoming one of the most popular methods of renting a home in the UK, offering a sociable and low-cost living option.
Recently, the UK population of flatsharers has swollen to 2,765,000 as renters abandon living alone to save money during the economic crisis, or are unable to get onto the property ladder due to a lack of affordable mortgages.
EasyRoommate's team is now encouraging flatsharers across the country to pick up the phone for advice and tips from a dedicated team of experts.
Jonathan Moore, Director of EasyRoommate.co.uk said:
"There is no doubt that flatsharing is becoming more and more popular in the current climate - it's a great way to meet people and earn some additional income if you are a homeowner or landlord. First time buyers are also renting for longer in light of the mortgage drought and are using this as a way to save a deposit for their own property.
"Operating a dedicated hotline for one day is a great way for us to provide some extra assistance to those with burning questions about flatsharing. If you're thinking of letting out your spare room for the first time or renting a room in a shared house and want some extra support or advice, help is at hand from our experienced team."
