In London, housemates are like urban family. They are the ones that let you in and wash you up after you've upchucked an entire bottle of cheap rose on the doorstep (thanks Emily and Imogen!!) and the ones who are there to comfort you when you get home from a particularly bad date.

But like any family, they can also aggravate you to the point of pulling your hair out, which is why it is always best to choose carefully when deciding who to live with.

Speed Flatmating, not unlike speedating, allows seekers and seekees to spend four minutes with potential house partners in your area.

You like them, you put a tick next to their name; they like you, they do the same. The next day, contact details are exchanged and then those looking can start taking a look at rooms with the knowledge that the person at the other side of the door is probably not an axe-murderer.

Well, not yet at least.
