How Share Home works

Have an initial chat

Simply get in touch for more details or request a telephone call with us so we can understand what you are looking for in a Share Home and answer any questions you have. Members of your family may want to join in, which we welcome.

If you decide to take the next step, we’ll arrange a follow-up call to explore in more detail what your ideal housemate and home would look like. The more information you can share at this stage, the better we can help find the right match.

Finding the right match

We take great care in matching people based on personality, lifestyle and interests because the right match makes all the difference.

Share Home will identify one or more people who could be a good fit for you. We’ll contact you to talk through the details and if you think you’d be interested in knowing more, we’ll arrange an informal meeting.

We’ll be present to support you during every conversation and you're welcome to meet as many times as you like before making any decisions.

Setting up your Share Home

Once you’ve met and decided you’d like to move forward, we’ll agree a move-in date and begin setting up your Share Home.

At this stage, we carry out our final checks, including vetting and reference requests from both parties. We’ll also go through the Share Home support agreement together, to ensure everything is clear, fair and the way you want to live. Plus, we’ll help you sort out the practical aspects of sharing and preparing your home so you feel confident and prepared.

Family or friend support can be included in the process. We can also give a range of additional support where needed (e.g. eligible benefit applications or other practical requests).

Ongoing support

Throughout your time in a Share Home, we’ll take care of the practical side such as rent collection and provide consistent, ongoing support.

A monthly support fee, included within the sharer’s rent, ensures regular check-ins and a point of contact for both people whenever you need advice or help of any kind.

Our team is always here to support you and is a vital part of what we offer - whether that’s giving practical help or simply peace of mind. Ensuring the arrangement works well for everyone.
