I've just had 4 years of finding accommodation in the UK as a student, and am just going through the process of finding a flat in London as a graduate. I must admit I don't really know what this is, other than someone trying to build a mailing list of interested people.
From reading the text on the site, it appears to be a way to find permanent people for flat-shares, as well as a place for advertising/finding temporary accommodation (sofas to use overnight while interviewing), and also a place for finding flats to rent.
It says there are no agents, and students only, but I doubt many students have flats to rent out, so that confuses the 3rd point. As for the other two, it makes it sound like a social network, and indeed, this is something many people use Facebook for, either between existing friends, or in area-specific groups - I have done both myself.
Also, there is a typo in the description, which given the very short description, looks quite unprofessional.
Hey thanks for your feedback! In the mean time of building a platform we would like to see how many students is interested in it.
It is a simple idea which might (or might not) become a useful tool for students. We have a plan behind it so I hope when we launch we will be able to surprise everyone in a good way!
