Living with someone can be a minefield

Usually, you find flatmates quite naturally at university, often people who share halls will then look to move in together after their first year. However, if you are consciously seeking a flatmate, finding people with similar interests can be a good idea. People from your course will understand your needs – music students know you need to practice and are likely to be more tolerant. Here are some of the best qualities to look for:

Tidiness

Laundry, washing up and the bathroom can be some of the most common areas for arising issues.  

Patience

Someone with a short fuse may not make for a peaceful home life.

Communication

People who love to chat could become a little overwhelming, but you do need to be able to communicate with your fellow housemates. Whether it is over practical duties, like putting the bins out, or a more serious house issue bottling things could result in bigger disputes when at breaking point.

Respectful

If you are sharing a home, you want to know others will be respectful of your things.

Always consult a qualified professional before making major changes to your life & property.
