Renting a flat

I start my placement year in June in Leamington Spa and so I am looking at renting a flat/house in the area. It is a really expensive place to live and so I can't afford a one bedroomed flat (the average price is £600-£700 a month for a one-bedroomed flat). I have seen some really nice two bedroomed places for rent at around about £600 for both rooms so £300 each per month which is a good price and they lok like nice places. The problem is that I don't know anyone else moving to the area and I don't want to be stuck paying the full £600. How can I go about finding someone to share with. I don't want to spend money advertising on flatmate.co.uk and flatshare.com etc as I have been to look on those for other people looking for someone to fill a room, and it doesn't seem to work terribly well.
Anyone had this problem or used any websites to advertise?
Anyone moving to Leamingotn in June?!?

I would suggest you keep on looking. You could contact estate agents directly and tell them what you are looking for. Maybe you could live a bus ride away so rent is cheaper. I had the same problem as you when I moved to a new area, I used websites like flatmate.co.uk to hunt for people to share with but decided it was too much hassle and just got my own place even though it was more expensive.
Thanks for the help and advice
:chin: Maybe, I'm not sure. Suppose they must have something. Might be worth a look into - thank you :thumb:
