Flat hunting [centric thread]

Rose-Kitten [Edit] [Delete] 22 replies 12:06, 26 May '06

Flat hunting - indulgent thread.

Found room in share accom last week in wicked location. Small yard, house has a wiiicked dog (am maaaaaaaaaasive dog lover) and a music room with decks and stuff I could use and build onto with my own equipment etc...

The only thing is:
- the bedroom is a bit smallish..
- I haven't met the third flatmate who I am beginning to think is like Rupret from Dirty Rotten Scoundrels... hidden away.......
- It took a week for the guy to get back to me about this room - I know this sounds pathetic but I feel a bit like 'second best' and the size of the room has turned me off a teeny bit.

Today I found out the room is mind if I want it...

Should I get the fuck over myself and take the room?

Flat hunting sucks hard. There are so many fucking cunts out there... ('scuse language but it's true - I've met some absolute fuckwits recently)

  • whereabouts is it?

    I had a dream about old uni housemates last night - still friends but we argued in the dream.

    That's no help to anyone though is it?

    • Did you just eat a yoghurt?

      ...

      Rose-Kitten @prole-art-threat | 26 May '06, 12:09 | X
  • Go for it.

    If it's shit, move out.

    OR

    Don't go for it, the bedroom is too small and the third housemate is pervy. Plus, the dog has fleas and the neighbours sell crack.

    • It's in Shoreditch - next to the Geoffrye Museum

      it's a four storey house.. and quite cool (reminds me of Denis Severs old place)...
      ie basement is entire kitchen...

      I LOVE DOGS!

      It is a good location.

      Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

        • yeah, and I have other friends who live in Dalston

          and several friend who live in bethnal green too... so location is rocking.. and other mates in stoke newington.

          yeah, having bob, random and prole close by.. nice.

          Rose-Kitten @prole-art-threat | 26 May '06, 12:15 | X
        • I'm moving soon.

          But probably closer to Dalston.

          bobbygeorge @prole-art-threat | 26 May '06, 12:17 | X
          • We shall be neighbours.

            I'll be popping 'round to borrow cups of sugar and tea.

  • I would say you should

    meet the Rupret first, otherwise you don't know what you letting yourself in for.

    You should go on what your instinct tells you, and it doesn't sound like you're all that keen on it.

    IndieAndy_Jones | 26 May '06, 12:09 | X
    • But i was really keen on it on Sunday

      the dog and the guy and I chatted for 1.5 hours! it was ace... and the music room is a massive draw for me.. for rehearsals and so on... hmm. and the location is quite ace too...

      it was the fact he was a bit of a dick about not getting back to me quickly that made me start looking elsewhere.

      yes, I should meet the Rupret character.. he he.. and bring some corks and forks too..

      hmmmmmmmmm.... a revisit is essential, I guess.. hmm...

      Rose-Kitten @IndieAndy_Jones | 26 May '06, 12:14 | X
      • oh well if you were that keen on your first impression

        then go for it (subject to meeting Rupret).

        The chap may have had a legitimate reason for not calling you - he might have had to talk it over with Rupret or wanted to be fair and give a chance to other people who had agreed to see the place after you.

  • i would say run away

    but that's just me because i would never, ever consider a house share with people i don't know. ever.

    guntrip | 26 May '06, 12:15 | X
    • ditto

      and that's why I live on my own and am paying too much rent.

      • This is the first time I've ever lived with complete strangers

        but I'm a pretty good judge of character.. and I can always 'leave'.. not tied to a lease etc... This guy was ok... I don't want to live on my own just yet.. I want to be living with people... plenty of time for solitude later.. I'd go to India if I wanted solitude... or sumthan... on a retreat...

        Rose-Kitten @IndieAndy_Jones | 26 May '06, 12:23 | X
        • hahhaha

          i don't want "solitude", i just like living somewhere that's undisputably MINE.

          i love living alone. i don't think i could ever live with more than 1 other person again, and i'm 99% sure I would never houseshare again unless financial circumstances forced me into it.

          guntrip @Rose-Kitten | 26 May '06, 12:26 | X
          • sometimes its a bit lonely though

            the nights are the worst. And then the day comes, and that's just as bad as the night...

            It is nice having everything done your way and not getting pished off with your housemates over stupid little things. But I would move into a shared house with people I knew, that has been lots of fun in the past. But I think I'd be too scared to share with strangers unless that was all i could afford

            • i found house sharing

              to be a horrible experience - it was like living as a student and there was a reason i never went to university in the first place.. everyone got bogged down in household politics and nobody would ever talk to anyone about any of their problems with the house and it was just TERRIBLE.

              solo / flatshare all the way from now on, oh yes..

              guntrip @IndieAndy_Jones | 26 May '06, 12:35 | X
              • Oh i LOVED house sharing as a student

                it was all fun all of the time, and the memory of that is mostly what gives me the nagging feeling that I might be missing out by living on my own

                IndieAndy_Jones @guntrip | 26 May '06, 12:39 | X
            • Oh fuck, am confused now

              spoke to the guy and said i wanted to meet the other flatmate.. he said, 'are you not 100% certain?' and I said, 'well, I need to meet the other guy - it's a share house and i only met you... i want to meet him etc...'

              hmmmmmmmmm....

              confused.

              oh well.
              :(

              Rose-Kitten @IndieAndy_Jones | 26 May '06, 12:35 | X
              • Oh really?

                Well spoke to the other flatmate who sound very cool, actually - so going around to grill him on Sunday.

                What happened to your other flatmate, 65Rules??? sounds dramatic!
