OUR PROCESS

This is what we do for you

1

Finding the right neighbourhood

We help you make an informed decision, taking into account both hard facts — such as transportation times, crime rates and many more — and softer facts such as the atmosphere and feeling of an area.

2

Finding available flats

Given your area preferences, we screen all available flats, spanning all agencies and free flats directly offered by landlords — according to your budget requirements. We then present you with the best fits.

3

Doing remote flat viewings

If you are busy or do not (yet) live in London, we will remotely do the flat viewing for you. One of our employees will professional video of the flats you liked - you will see it just as if you were there. If you want to see the flats yourself, we will schedule viewings of your favourite flats according to your preferences.

4

Negotiations, bidding, contract, payments, providing documents

Even after you have found your dream flat, we continue to make the process easier for you. We negotiate the rent with the landlord or agency and make sure all required paperwork is handled quickly and efficiently.

OUR CUSTOMERS

Flatser provided very good videos of flats I wanted and I saw everything as if I was there myself. I also had a chance to show all my future places to my parents who live in Berlin and they helped me to make a choice.

Sammy Balani
Consultant

I was looking for a flat for me and my friends. Each agency only wanted to push their flats and I did not have time for the comparisons. Flatser provided a great overview and we had our flat in a week.

Nils de Wolf
Student

When I was moving to London from Italy I didn’t want to come in advance for the flat search. Flatser helped me to find a great studio while I stayed in Italy and on moving day I went to my new flat directly from the airport!

Andrea Morlanesì
Teacher

With my job, I really don't have time for flat-hunting. I needed a good flat in the centre. I knew what I was looking for, but couldn't do the actual searches. The people from Flatser kept my time involvement in the search at a minimum.

FAQ

Are you an agency?

No, we are not an agency, we are relocation specialists. We work across agencies and landlords. We do not rent or sell flats ourselves, we are in the business of making the flat search more convenient for you.

How much do you charge? What are your prices/service fees?

For 120 GBP we will search flats that match your criteria across all agencies and sources and arrange viewings according to your schedule.

Which methods of payment do you accept?

We accept

PayPal
Debit/credit card payments (via PayPal)
Bank transfers directly to our account

Do you offer discounts on your service fees?

We run different discount campaigns over the year. Make sure to ask our service agent if you are eligible for a discount during your free advice session!

Will there be costs after renting the flat in addition to your fee?

This depends on the flat you rent. Our charge is for the service of aiding your flat search. Any costs by agencies or landlords still apply.

Many agents will charge new tenants a fee for their services. Furthermore, agents and landlords will often ask you to pay part of your rent up front as a “holding deposit” (often about 2 weeks of rent) so that they do not give a flat you agreed to rent to someone else in the time until you move in. In case you change your mind about renting the flat, they will keep the deposit. Lastly, most agents and landlords will ask you to pay a security deposit (usually 4-6 weeks of rent) to cover potential damages in the flat that happen during your tenancy. We will advise you on any costs you may have to expect during our free advice session.

Will you charge more for groups looking for a flat?

No, the costs are per flat. We usually find flats for 1-5 persons. Flats for more than 5 people are more difficult to find in most areas. If your group is larger than 5 people just give us a call and we will advise you on whether we can help you find a flat in your desired area.

I would like to live in a flat with roommates. Will you find a roommate for me?

If you are already part of a group of people who would like to move in together in a single flat, we’ll be happy to find a flat for you. However, we can’t find any additional roommates for you. We also can’t place you in a flat that is looking for roommates. This is because finding roommates depends a lot on the chemistry between the different people involved. Unfortunately, that is something we cannot influence.

That being said, if you already found a flat with roommates and you would like to get a closer look at the place we will be happy to do a remote viewing for you.

I’m looking for a sublet. Is your service right for me?

Right now we do not offer search for sublets because their availability is limited and very seasonal. We will be happy to provide remote viewings for sublet apartments that you already identified.

What free services do you offer?

We provide a free advice session and market overview material. Just send us an email with your availability or questions.

What happens during your free advice session?

First we will give you a short introduction on how the London lettings market works. Then we will ask you for your living needs and preferences and identify areas that might suit your needs. We will also discuss whether your target rental price is realistic in these areas.

How long will you take to find a flat for me?

We can find flats for you in less than two days. That being said, we advise you to contact us as soon as you have made the decision to move to London. Flats are usually available up to a month before move-in date and the availability of good flats decreases after that.

Do you also offer remote viewings for properties beside flats?

Yes, we will be happy to provide remote viewings for whichever property you are interested in — including but not limited to:

Rooms in flatshares
Rooms in sublets
Rooms in student dorms
Flats that are for sale, not for rent
Commercial property/office spaces
Investment property
