SPOTAHOME

Needed a place sorted quick because my contract ended with no notice and I was stuck. Found something on the site within an evening and messaged the host from my phone on the bus. Got the keys the following week, which saved my skin honestly.

I would say it works well enough, though it took longer than I was led to expect. The initial enquiry was handled politely and I was kept informed at each step. Some of the paperwork asked for the same details twice, which was a bit tedious for an older chap like me.

We have used the site for our holiday lets for years now. Booked another apartment for the summer and it went smoothly from start to finish. Would use them again.

Needed to move quickly after a job change. Compared a few sites before settling on this one because it had the most listings in the area. Booking was done in one sitting.

Needed a room sorted before term started and I was panicking a bit. Booked through the app in about ten minutes between lectures. The host sent the check in details the same day, so it was all sorted.

Booked a flat in Leeds through the site. The listing said it was near the centre but it was more like a twenty minute walk. The host was alright about it but the whole thing felt a bit misleading. Not happy really.

I already know the rental market fairly well from years of renting in London, so I wanted something quick and reliable. Needed a room near my new office and found a good match within a few days on the site. The booking flow was simple and the host responded to my questions the same afternoon. Deposit went through without any issues and I had the keys within the week.

The search filters made it quick to find a room near my work in Leeds, and I could filter by bills included, which saved me working out costs myself. Booked the viewing and the deposit went through the same evening. The rent is what I'd pay elsewhere but I didn't have to pay a separate admin charge, so that's a plus for a student on a budget.

I booked a single room in Bristol for my daughter who was starting a new job. The whole process from the enquiry through to paying the first month was done online without any fuss. The host met us at the property and handed over the keys exactly when she said she would. We were grateful for how clearly everything was explained and the paperwork arrived promptly, which made the move much less stressful for all of us.

Compared this against two other rental platforms before picking it. The listings were roughly on a par with the others and the prices were not obviously lower. The booking itself was fine, though the host took a couple of days to confirm the viewing dates.

Had a flat through a local agent before, and this site is quicker to browse but the back and forth with the landlord took longer than I'd like. The place itself was fine, just a bit smaller than the photos made it look. Paid a little more in the end than the listing initially suggested.

We first used the site to find a flat in Manchester about six years ago, and then again for a second property, and this is our third time. This time we rented a one bed for my elderly mum near the hospital. The listing photos matched the place, the deposit was protected and the rent came out of my account on the right date each month. It's just easy to use once you know your way around the search filters.

The fee was lower than I expected for the whole thing, under what a local agent would have charged. Got a room in Birmingham for six months and the rent is about the same as the other listings I checked. Nothing hidden that I could see, and the deposit was sorted in a few days.

Yeah it's pretty good, did the whole booking on my laptop. The room was about what the listing showed. Only thing was the confirmation email took a while to turn up, but once it did everything was fine.

We tried two other rental sites first and this one was much easier to use than either. The search filters actually work and the listings were up to date. Booking the flat itself was straightforward and the host replied properly.

Booked a room for three months through the site after comparing a few other listing sites first. The photos matched what we got and the landlord answered messages within the day. The one niggle was the deposit payment screen, which timed out once and I had to start again.

The listing said the flat had a garden and it's really a small balcony, so that was a bit of a letdown. The price was fair for the area and the booking itself was simple enough on my phone. The landlord was happy to let me know what to expect before I signed, which helped.

Compared with going through a letting agent in person, using the site for our search was far simpler and cheaper, with fewer fees to worry about. We could read the listings properly and message the owner directly. The viewing arrangements were clear and the whole thing felt well organised from start to finish, which we did not expect at all.
