How to make your next share-house, a dream-house
It doesn’t get much more exciting than spreading your wings and leaving the family nest to move into a share-house with your mates, although share-houses can be quite the controversial topic.
I’m sure we’ve all heard of, or experienced first hand one or two horror stories. To avoid your next share-house going south, we’ve put together some tips:
• Start off on the right foot - have a cool, calm and collected chat with your new roomies about your household expectations. Don’t forget to cover off all that not-so-fun-stuff like, cleaning, bills, gardening etc. This way everyone is on the same page from the beginning.
• Get connected - Doesn’t get much more annoying than turning on a light switch and… nothing. Download the Sorted app to set up your electricity, gas and internet, in just 2 minutes! You can even set your move in date, so as soon as you’re in, power is on.
• Get protected - Thrifty items and statement pieces all add up and this won’t be the last house you move into. As you build up a collection of interiors that make your house feel more like home, you might want to protect your most loved possessions, especially if a clumsy (housemate) accident happens. To work out how little or how much you’d need to get your contents covered, make a list of the items you couldn’t live without and how much you’d need to replace them if disaster were to strike. Then get a free quote from Kanopi in the Sorted app in just 2 minutes.
• Pay your bills on time - they call bad debt, bad for a reason. With all of your household services connected with Sorted, you don’t need to search for paperwork or bills. You’ll be updated in the app and via SMS when a payment is due, with plenty of notice so you never have to worry about missing a due date.
• Less life admin = more life - Sorted has everything in the one place so you can stay on top of your life admin and spend more time on fun house activities.
And last but absolutely not least, have fun! 🙌
