Decide early on how to keep the place clean. Many housemates create a rotating chore schedule so each person takes turns cleaning common areas (like kitchen, bathroom) each week. Alternatively, some households chip in to hire a part-time cleaner for a couple of hours weekly or bi-weekly. The key is to ensure everyone is on board with the plan. Also, basic etiquette helps – everyone should clean up after themselves (wash your dishes, don’t leave personal stuff all over common spaces) so the home stays tidy day-to-day.

Check the agreement for notice and replacement terms. Align on advertising, viewings, and how utilities are split during the gap. Keep shared costs transparent so no one subsidizes unfairly. Get approvals in writing before a new person joins.

Agree on clear house rules with your flatmates early. Clarify quiet hours, overnight guests, cooking frequency, kitchen use, fridge space, and laundry timing. Discuss cleaning expectations for kitchen and bathrooms. Check rules about smoking or pets. Setting these expectations from the start helps prevent conflicts and keeps everyone comfortable.

Having a private attached bathroom is convenient – no sharing with others. You can use it anytime without waiting. However, you’ll be responsible for keeping it clean (there’s no one else using it). Check that the ensuite has good ventilation or a fan, since moisture can build up. Ensure the drainage slope, water pressure and hot water in the shower are good when you inspect. Overall, an ensuite adds comfort and privacy, but comes with the task of sole upkeep.

Usually, but not always. Some ‘master’ rooms share a bathroom. Confirm if it’s attached, exclusive, and ventilated, and check water pressure, heater type, and any morning queue issues.

Stand in the room you’ll use most and make a call, send a video message, and try streaming. Check signal bars near windows and inside bedrooms. Ask which providers serve the building and confirm cabling points and router placement options.
