Inquire Within Your Personal Network
The easiest way to bag a flat mate is to ask your friends or acquaintances
— some of them may need a room or flat mate too. While searching for a
flat mate, you need to define your requirements to be sure that it will
provide results with easy and interesting people you can share an
apartment with. The kind of person you can discuss with and/or who may
have something in common with you.

opposite sex and it's a good opportunity to meet your future mate! You
can find a mate, a friend, or more.
Shared/Mutual Interests

communicate well but you will have a lot of common ground and hobbies
to participate in.
Broaden Your Horizons

communication you can have if you are game head and your flat mate is a
gym rat! or you happen to be a gourmet while your new flat mate is a
sky diving instructor.
Sell Yourself
Upload some great photos of yourself and/or your apartment, great looking photos
are a major selling point, To make your ad better, you should include
some personal information e.g your likes and dislikes.
If you're
in a nice area, a paragraph on what is available to prospective flat
mates is another selling point. If you can sell an attractive lifestyle
it will make it easier for people to imagine living in the area.
Communicate With Each Other

future problems and misunderstanding it’s best to inform your future
flat mate that you can’t bare smoking inside or you prefer to live in
solitude.
