Why compatibility matters more than the listing in London
In a market like London, the listings are the easy part — plenty of rooms come and go around Masonville and Old North. The hard part is finding someone whose schedule, cleanliness standards, and budget actually line up with yours. That's the difference between a lease you renew and one you count down.
Roomit is a compatibility-first roommate app: instead of swiping on photos, you're matched on the things that predict whether two people will live well together. It runs on iOS and Android, with identity verification built in so you're meeting real people. See how the matching works.
