Writing your room wanted advert


When registering with Flatmaterooms we recommend you place a room wanted advert as landlords don’t just sit there waiting for e-mails or calls, they use our tenant database searching for tenants looking for rooms in their area. So in this section we’ll give you a little advice on getting your room wanted advert noticed. The best adverts give the reader a good insight into you and what you’re looking for, seeing an advert that just says “need a big room this week call me” might not quite have the effect you want it to, it’s not like writing a dating site advert, so putting a little effort in to it will go a long way. If you look at it from the landlord’s point of view their letting a total stranger in to their property so the insight will make this process easier and being enthusiastic when writing your advert will get you the best response. Below is a list to give you a head start on maybe what to mention and add and if your still stuck for inspiration see the demo ad below or check out your rivals ad’s.

This all gives you further scope to finding a room faster, your advert works for you even when you’re not online as people could be calling and e-mailing you instead.

Demo Advert

Hello I’m Nigel, I’ve been living in my own flat for 2 years and now the credit crunch has kicked in, i’m looking for something cheaper so I’ve chosen room rental, i still like Manchester and the area so if you have a good sized room preferably en-suite give me a call. I’m a normal guy, stay in quite a lot but go out for one good night once a month, work different shifts but am very quite so I won’t disturb you at night. I definitely need wireless internet and a dryer would be handy, I have a car so somewhere to park is essential, so if your an easy going person looking for a lodger I may have filled your vacancy give me a call or email, one last one I’m allergic to cats.
