ideal flatmate offers exclusive discounted flats for key workers

ideal flatmate, the UK’s first algorithm-based flatmate “matchmaker” has unveiled a partnership with build-to-rent company Get Living to offer a dedicated selection of London flats at a discounted price for key workers.

The scheme is being launched in East Village, the former Olympic village in Stratford which has been developed into luxury rental flats and allows those working in sectors such as the health service, education and other key public services to move into flats below market rates.

For anybody in these professions who need to find a flatmate, ideal flatmate will provide their matching technology for free to help key workers find compatible people to share the property with.

Discussing the launch, ideal flatmate co-founder Tom Gatzen (pictured with co-founder Rob Imonikhe) said: “The past 12 months has been a difficult time for millions of people across the country and a particularly stressful time for those key workers who have been on the frontline throughout the pandemic.

“We are excited to be working in collaboration with Get Living to offer a range of beautiful flats at a discount to help those that have helped keep the country safe and moving throughout the pandemic.”
