How Basecamp works

From profile to keys — everything in one place

1
Build your profile

Tell us about yourself — your university, course, budget, lifestyle and when you arrive. Takes 5 minutes.

2
Meet your matches

We show you compatible students arriving at the same time. See shared interests, budget overlap and lifestyle fit.

3
Form a group

Found people you click with? Create a flatmate group and search for properties together as a team.

4
Move in together

Browse verified London rooms, contact landlords for free, and move in — all without leaving Basecamp.

Everything you need

Built specifically for international students coming to London

👥
Smart matching

Our compatibility score looks at university, course start date, budget, preferred areas and lifestyle. No swiping — just honest, relevant matches.

🏠
Verified rooms

Every listing is from a real landlord or tenant. Browse hundreds of rooms across London, filter by area and price, contact for free.

💬
Student messaging

Chat with potential flatmates before committing to anything. Get to know each other, discuss budgets, decide together.

👥
Group search

Once you have your group, search for a whole flat together. Landlords can list entire properties for groups — everyone moves in together.

📋
UK arrival guide

Right to rent checks, council tax exemption, what to bring, how deposits work. Everything you need to know before you land.

🎓
University partnerships

Basecamp works directly with universities and pathway programmes to reach students at the right moment — when they need housing most.
