Flat-sharing reimagined for London

To us, shared living means being part of a wider community. Unlike traditional shared houses, co-living blocks or university halls, the Lyvly experience means you can engage with people beyond those in your house or even building. It's more than just co-existing for a few weeks or months, we want to create bonds that last longer.

With Lyvly, at its most basic level, you share a home with at least one other member, but it's also about sharing your life over time with a local and city-wide community. Shared living happens across homes, areas, towns and all over the world.

Once you have found a room you like, you can book a tour to have a look around the place or reserve straight away. All our available homes can be found on our website. Every member then goes through the application process. It’s a short questionnaire so we can get to know you a little better. It’s a really important step in the process, so make sure to take your time to consider your answers. This part is how you connect to the membership committee, who approve every application. If you pass, then you can reserve your room, sign a lease and move in when you’re ready.

Lyvly invests a lot of time in understanding our members before offering them a place to live. Our team takes pride in matching you to homes with great people.

We have curated a community of young professionals, entrepreneurs and creatives who are looking to spend time with like-minded people. Each person who wants to join Lyvly goes through an application process. There is a committee made up of members who vet every single new member. We do not offer rooms to students, people without work, or friends looking to share a room.

A member is our name for a tenant, but using the word tenant doesn’t really explain how we view the people living in our homes. We also don’t see ourselves as landlords. Lyvly’s members are more than customers, we are a shared living community, of which they are the most important part. Member contributions help to shape everything we are. It is not a traditional rental system, collectively we at HQ and our members are all working towards the goal of building an amazing community together, so we are equals.

Everything you should need. All our homes are fully furnished down to the knives and forks.

They include utility bills and council tax, as well as essentials such as fortnightly housekeeping of all common areas, broadband, Smart TV & Netflix, household consumables (lightbulbs, dishwasher tablets, toilet paper, etc) and support throughout your time as a Lyvly member.

All Lyvly leases are for two years, but you're free to break out any time from six months onwards. You can also move between Lyvly homes whenever you like.
