How does it work?

What is the purpose of this service?

Cityflatmate lets you choose who you want to live with. Read through different profiles and chat with those who sound like you’ll match well with. We prefer you to get to know your flatmate via our platform before finding a place together that you’ll enjoy living in.

Do I have to pay to use this service?

It is currently free to download and use the flatmating service. However there are a couple of fun features that you may have to pay for should you use them such as the game ‘Flash’ and the ‘match with your opposite’ feature. But don’t worry, we’ll always ask for payment before charging you!

Is it available in my country?

At the moment, Cityflatmate is only available in London. But we will be rolling out to different city over the next few months. If you’ll like to see Cityflatmate in your city, please email us: social@cityflatmate.com

Who can use CityFlatmate?

Anyone who’s legitimately looking for a flatmate and wants to have more control over where and how they live 😀

What is your ‘code of conduct’?

  • Show respect for all users
  • Do not use ‘My Profile’ to post details of available accommodation
  • Do not sell anything!
  • Match well!
  • Do not subject users to inappropriate behaviour

Can I use this website to find accommodation?

At the moment, the app can only be used to people match.

Can I post an advert for accommodation on the app?

We would prefer that you didn’t. Cityflatmate prides itself on being people focused.

I have received an inappropriate message from a user. Who should I complain to?

Please write to us at social@cityflatmate.com. We will investigate the matter and if needs be, remove the accused and take measures to prevent them from signing up to the service. If the situation causes you discomfort or becomes threatening, we advise you to contact your local police.

Managing my account

I have forgotten my username and/or password

Please use the ‘password reset’ function which can be found at the bottom of the sign-up screen.

I want to delete my account. How can I do this?

In the menu, there is an action at the bottom of the screen that allows you to delete your profile. Please note, this action cannot be undone. Once it’s gone it’s gone! But don’t worry, you can always sign-up to the service again 😀

How do I know if someone has read my message?

We are currently working on adding read receipts to messages. At the moment, it is not possible to know if your message has been read.

I liked someone’s profile but I cannot send them a message

the person will have to also like your profile back before you are able to fully communicate with them. We want to prevent users being sent unsolicited messages.

Setting up my account

I have just posted my profile but I cannot find it?

Sometimes, it takes a few minutes for your profile to show up. After creating your profile, you may have to log back into the app to view/ edit your profile.

Do you check all profiles?

We cannot check all user profiles. But if there are any profiles that are concerning, please email the Cityflatmate team on social@cityflatmate.comand we’ll investigate discreetly before deciding on what actions to take
