FindAHousemate

It isn't uncommon for someone you previously planned to live with, to change their mind and tell you that they are no longer moving in. This can be for any number of reasons; often housemates who had planned to live together, fall out and no longer want to share, alternatively, your housemate may have had to suspend their course or withdraw from University altogether and therefore don't intend to live in Reading next year.

Need to find a replacement?

Visit The Hub and view the FindAHousemate notices. Here you can choose to complete your own FindAHousemate notice.  To do this you will need to provide your name and contact details which if you choose to do so, will be available to other people who view the FindAHousemate board. 

You will be able to read other FindAHousemate notices that have been added by other students, to see if there are any potential housemates for you to contact. 

Please note that you cannot advertise properties on FindAHousemate as it is intended as a place where you can advertise and search for suitable housemates (rather than houses).

Need to find a house?

There is plenty of private accommdoation available to rent in the vicinity of the University.  If you are looking for privately rented accommodation for next year, the first place to look is on the University Accommodation Service website which holds a database advertising properties on behalf of local landlords.  To search the database, click on www.reading.ac.uk/accommodation and click on the link for property search.

Need housing advice?

There may be implications if a housemate no longer wants to move in, especially if the housemates all signed a joint housing contract. If you need advice, visit the Student Advisors in the Hub, in your Students' Union. You do not need a prior appointment if you come along to a Student Advice drop-in session which take place every weekday: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Fridays, from 10am until 1pm OR Wednesdays, from 2pm until 5pm. Remember to bring your housing contract with you!
