How Basecamp works

From your first day on the platform to moving into your London home — here is how it all fits together.

Four steps to your new home

Everything happens in one place. No agents, no fees, no stress.

1
Build your profile

Tell us about yourself — your university, course, budget, lifestyle and when you arrive. It takes 5 minutes and helps us find you the right flatmates.

2
Meet your matches

Our algorithm scores compatibility based on university, budget overlap, preferred areas, lifestyle, and arrival dates. See your top matches instantly.

3
Find a room together

Browse hundreds of verified London rooms from RoomsToRent. Filter by area and price, view photos and details, and contact landlords for free.

4
Move in

Arrange viewings (video or in-person), sign your tenancy, and move in. Our UK guide covers everything from deposits to council tax.

Why Basecamp

Built specifically for international students arriving in London

Smart matching

Our compatibility algorithm considers university, course timing, budget, location preferences, and lifestyle tags to find people you will actually enjoy living with.

Verified listings

Every room comes from RoomsToRent, London's fairest flatshare platform. Real landlords, real photos, real prices. Contact them for free.

UK arrival guide

Right to rent, council tax exemption, GP registration, Oyster cards — everything you need to know before and after you land, in one place.

No fees for students

Basecamp is completely free for students. Search, match, message, and move in without paying us a penny.

University partnerships

We work directly with universities and pathway programmes like INTO to reach students at the right moment — when they need housing most.
