Accommodation for 2023/24 in London

hey, i’m going into my second year at uni in london and am searching for any available accomodation or cancellations for the upcoming year.

I am also looking for housemates 🥹

what’s ur plans? i was thinking of just going into a house share or buddying up on spare room.

The things is is that I’m 2nd year and on every waitlist accommodation. In my 1st year I had to switch rooms due to issues. I’m wary of flat shares cuz once u start the lease, u can’t move rooms etc. if u problems but I know rooms are going to fast whether accom or private so idk if I should wait and hope that rooms become available after results day. What uni do u go to, I would defo consider doing a buddy up?

The best advice I can give is look to for 10 room mates with good credit histories.

Upon finding those 10 room mates, each look to acquire credit cards with at least £12,000 credit limits (it's likely this will be spread amongst a few cards).

After receiving your credit cards it's of great importance that you each withdraw the maximum of you can via cash machine (£500 a time means 24 withdrawals).

Pool your money together so you have £120,000 in total and then approach a mortgage broker to apply for a 'joint' mortgage.

Once you have found a house for around £950,000.00 use the deposit money and apply for a 25 year mortgage fixed at a rate of 5.75 for 5 years.

That'll equal a monthly payment of just £5,221.58 a month, or £422.00 split between 10 room mates.

Therefore meaning you'll be spending nearly 50% less than the £800.00 a month you first stated and be acquiring an asset

(I understand some many say this is not 'constructive' advice, although that is entirely subjective for reasons I will respond with if asked)
