Room in a Shared Flat, Bournemouth Road, SE15

Hello, 

My flatmate’s room is available for rent - specs are below - please read the whole thing before you send me a message! 

- A double room available from the 25th of October 
- Rent is £842 (deposit is £649) 
- Bills are around £135-£165 depending on the time of year 
- It is partly furnished - you will need to buy a bed and mattress (my flatmate can negotiate hers if you’re interested) 
- No students
- Females preferred

The room is located on the first floor in a safe building. It is around the corner from Rye Lane. It is a very lively area and safe at night! There are many bars and restaurants in Peckham Rye. Also lots of supermarkets, gyms etc. so you never run out of options for things to do. The train station (with quick links to Victoria, London Bridge, Blackfriars and St Pancras) is a two minute walk and there are many bus stops nearby. 

This is a quiet, peaceful home and you will be sharing with just me (this is not a party house). There is a bright living room with large windows and a kitchen. I have half a bathroom which means that you would be using the other bathroom most of the time (I only use it to shower). 

There is also a bike shed. It is very important that the new tenant is someone clean and respectful. We also share the cost of some things for the house e. g. cleaning products, etc and there is a cleaning rota. The new tenant needs to respect shared spaces - this is a peaceful flat best suited for someone who wants to keep making it feel like a home : )

About me: I am in my late 30s and work charity helping refugees. I’m open-minded, friendly, independent and fairly quiet. I like reading, art exhibitions and theatre, watching films, meeting friends, travelling. This home would suit someone similar. I wfh around 3 days a week, mostly from my own room. There should be enough space for a small desk in the double room if you also wfh. 

The new tenant needs to provide the landlord with 2 references (employer + previous landlord) and pass a credit check. Your minimum income should be £25,380. Rent is due on the 1st of every month, so when you move in you need to pay the remainder of October’s rent pro rata then the full month on 01/11. The tenancy needs to be renewed again on the 1st of January so you will need to sign a new contract before then too. 

We’ll be holding viewings Sat-Wed from the 5th-9th of October. Please send me a short message with some information about you: what you do for a living, your age, your interests etc. Please also confirm in your message that you you've read and understood the landlord requirements.

Cheers!
