You can filter options to suit your ideal location, budget, type of housemates and even properties with bills included in your rental price.

Some tips when searching for a private room to rent:

• Filter to “most recently added” to avoid any older ads coming up – even something added 7 days ago could already be gone.
• Try to view the property ASAP – sites are good at hosting virtual or video viewings if required – the sooner you can view, the better chances you have of securing your ideal space.
• Double check transport links and distance from campus.
