1. FlatMeet are not responsible for anything!

Pretty simple really, but seriously, we cannot guarantee the details entered are genuine or the type of any people searching for flatmates. As with any search for people take care. We are only a point of contact the rest is up to you!

However here's some advise after making contact. (Thanks to Dom for the suggestions)

• Always take a friend with you to view a room (especially girls).
• Always test the hot water.
• Check gas safety certificates (especially the dodgier private landlords).
• Always read the tenancy agreement and agree the condition of furnishings like carpets etc. before handing over a deposit.
• Check you are eligible to receive housing benefit at the address if you need to.
• Has the accommodation been inspected by a rent officer?
• Is the accommodation lawful - i.e. in the case of conversions do the planning status and importantly, the means of escape in case of fire comply with the law (in England and Wales)?
• Where does the landlord live and ensure you are provided with emergency telephone numbers for plumbers, roofers, etc.

2. FlatMeet staff (me) are invited to all house warming events and parties :-)
