About the Author
Rupert Hunt founded London's first flatshare site, IntoLondon.com, in 1999. SpareRoom.co.uk was launched in 2004, extending the service to cover the whole of the UK. In that time the world of shared accommodation (and how we advertise and search for it) has changed drastically. This book brings together 10 years experience of dealing with flatshares, flatsharers, lodgers and landlords and aims to pass this information on so you can find the best place to live and the perfect people to share it with. Matt Hutchinson is involved in running SpareRoom.co.uk and has provided opinion and comment for articles in The Independent, The Times and The Sunday Times amongst other publications as an expert on the UK flatshare market. Matt also provides the regular Room of the Week feature for News International's thelondonpaper.

I am so glad I bought this book - it answered all my questions and took away the awkwardness over money matters etc. I now have two great lodgers and feel empowered to deal with situations as they arise. Karen

This is an ideal guide, jargon-free and very simple to use.
Lay-outs are clear, leaving little space for confusion on the subjects being discussed.

I brought this book to prepare myself for flat-hunting, however having shared before I found most of the points it mentioned where either common sense or basic knowledge.
The book is a great introduction to flatsharing and gives some nice tips and pointers as well as case studies. However it often mention things without going into enough detail about them(ie contracts), for people who have shared before you're probably not going to learn much.
Summary: Great introductory book if you've never shared before or even if you're looking for a few pointers. However doesn't really go into enough depth to really be useful.
Note: The booked is based on England and does mention in places where this would make a difference. The book also has a strong focus on finding flats via the web (in particular the authors own flatshare website which actually has good, if not better in some cases, advice for free on it)

Not very informative.
Did not give me any information I already knew. Was a bit disappointed in the book. I would have expected some sample agreements.
