Upgrading also gets you Early Bird Access...
Early Bird Access lets you contact all Room Wanted Ads. Pro-active landlords who contact room seekers fill their rooms faster than those who sit back and wait for enquiries.
Early Bird Access means there are no restrictions on which ads you can contact.
Competition for good rooms is fierce, particularly in busy areas. Early Bird Access gives you a 7 day head start.
I have found roommate just within 3 days. I used the Bold advert so I think that made big change.

Available nowI would just like to write a testimonial for SpareRoom.co.uk. I usually use Gumtree to let my rooms, but this time around Gumtree gave a very poor response. I only had three viewings and none of the applicants was suitable. I therefore gave the "free" option on SpareRoom a try, and I found a super tenant in less than 24 hours. He moved in three days later. I have since had about 8 other enquiries from other prospects, and they all sounded like young professionals. I am now a SpareRoom convert!!!
I've tried newspapers, magazines, trade newspapers and estate agents. All were useless and expensive! I now only advertise on the internet. 90-95% of my tenants (who actually sign up and move in) come from the Spareroom website. I do use other sites but they are nowhere near as good or more importantly as profitable as using SpareRoom.
