Living in a shared house can be an amazing experience and comes with many benefits. Whatever your circumstances whether you’re moving out of your parent’s home, graduating or seeking a home with social interaction, house sharing could be for you.
“We’re social beings – we’re really not meant to live alone.”
Kirby Dunn, Executive Director of HomeShare
Cost Effective: living alone can be very expensive, especially in major cities. The costs of running a house or apartment by yourself are endless and you have no-one else to help you out. Sharing a property could make your favourite city, area or suburb much more affordable. At Rental Estates we include all bills in your monthly rent (including utilities, internet and council tax) so you always know what your rent will be each and every month, no unexpected bills or nasty surprises.
Social: living in a shared house can be very social. This can be very useful if you are moving to a new city or if you don’t know many people in the area. Sharers are also very considerate if you want time to yourself in the privacy of your own room. Our properties are let by individual rooms so you’ll never have to find a group of people to share with, simply organise yourself and move right in.
Share Chores: get a rota and share the pain of the cleaning and chores with your house mates. Although you should still be conscientious and clean up after yourself as you go!
Kitchen Stocked: in a shared home your kitchen is likely to be fully stocked. This may not sound such a big deal but imagine the cost of kitting out a kitchen by yourself… crockery, cutlery, glasses, mugs, pans, tupperware, kettle, toaster, microwave, cooking utensils, tea towels, the list goes on and the costs soon add up.
At Rental Estates all of our rooms are Zero Deposit. We never charge a deposit meaning you never have to wait for a deposit to be returned or worry that it may be withheld.
We don’t tie you in to long contracts. 3 months is the minimum contract period, meaning you are not tied in for longer than you wish to stay. However, many of our renters stay for 6 or 12 months.
