How RoomsNow works
One marketplace for a broad range of housing: HMOs, supported and transitional accommodation, adult social care housing, shared homes and self-contained properties. People can find accommodation, providers can advertise vacancies, and professionals can refer clients.
If you're looking for somewhere to live
- 1
Create an account
You'll be asked for the basics only — name, email, roughly where you're looking.
- 2
Post what you're looking for
An advert providers can find, with as much or as little detail as you want public.
- 3
Search and message
Filter by support, area and availability. Messages go through the platform, so your number stays yours.
- 4
Request accommodation
A structured request goes straight to the provider's worklist, and you can track its status.
If you advertise accommodation
- 1
Set up your organisation
Company details, operating areas and the support you provide.
- 2
Post adverts
Advertise HMOs, supported or transitional accommodation, adult social care housing and other homes, with room-level availability, photos, video and referral routes.
- 3
Get verified
Send us your documents. Verification is manual, and it confirms identity — not regulatory status.
- 4
Work your enquiries
Requests and referrals arrive in one worklist with a shared status trail.
If you refer people professionally
- 1
Create a referrer account
Tell us your organisation and role.
- 2
Find suitable accommodation
Filter to providers accepting professional or local authority referrals.
- 3
Submit a referral
Structured applicant details plus supporting documents, visible only to you, the provider and our admin team.
- 4
Track it to move-in
Submitted, received, under review, assessment, offered, accepted, moved in.
What we don't do
- We don't assess anyone's eligibility, needs or risk. Providers do that.
- We don't inspect properties or confirm regulatory registration of any kind.
- We don't share applicant information with anyone outside the provider it was sent to.
- Match percentages are a search aid, not a judgement about suitability.
