You spoke, we listened

We've made improvements to our site to make your SpareRoom search experience even better.

A couple months ago, we asked you to share your experience using SpareRoom and what's important to you when searching for a new home or roommate. Based on your feedback, we've made a couple of changes.

Free to contact ads
78% of you told us it would be useful to filter rooms so you see the "free to contact" ads first. In the Miscellaneous section, you will now see a new checkbox for ads that are "free to contact". Selecting this option will show only ads that don't require an upgrade to contact.

No/low deposit ads
You can now filter search results to see ads that require no deposit or a low deposit (equivalent to one week's rent or less).

Posted by
63% of you who answered our survey said you'd rather deal with/see ads from landlords. We've added a new filter which allows you to do just that. You can now choose to only see ads posted by landlords, private ads (no agents / broker), current roommates or live-in landlords.

We hope these changes help you find the right room or roommate!
