Flatmate Compatibility Test

Wash them immediately, even if they are not mine Leave a friendly note on the group chat as a reminder Wash only mine and leave the rest Not bothered, they will get done eventually

A quiet night in with a book or a film Having a few friends over for drinks and music Doing my own thing in my room Whatever everyone else feels like doing

Essential. Everyone needs to know their responsibilities Good idea, as long as it is flexible I prefer to just clean up after myself We can figure it out together as we go

Ask them politely to turn it down Go join them and see what they are listening to Put on headphones, no big deal Suggest agreeing on quiet hours for the flat

Love it! Shared meals bring people together I prefer to buy and cook my own food separately Happy to share basics like milk, butter, and oil Fine, but we need a clear system for splitting costs

Great, I will help organise it! Fine, but I will probably stay in my room Sure, as long as it wraps up at a reasonable hour I would really prefer a quiet weekend

Structured and on a schedule, same time every day Slow and quiet, I need peace to start my day It changes day to day, I go with the flow Quick and self-contained, in and out of the bathroom fast

Contact the landlord straight away and follow up Mention it to the group and see if anyone can fix it Try to fix it myself if I can Hope someone else notices and sorts it out

A lot, it is the heart of the home Some evenings, mainly to unwind quietly I mostly keep to my own room Depends on my mood

Clean it and then bring it up at the next flat meeting Mention it casually next time I see them Clean it silently, I just want it tidy Not that fussed, it will get sorted

Totally fine, as long as there is a heads-up The more the merrier! Prefer it to be infrequent, I value my privacy Fine if we agree on ground rules first

I set up a shared spreadsheet and track everything I pay my share on time and expect the same Someone usually reminds me, and I pay straight away I am happy to manage the group account for everyone

Suggest a schedule or compromise temperature Just grab an extra blanket or open a window Adjust it in my own room and let it go Call a flat meeting to discuss it together

I would love to choose things together as a flat I focus on making my own room my sanctuary I do not mind, whatever everyone else wants I have strong opinions and like things looking nice

I am a night owl but I keep the noise down Late, and I am usually up chatting or hanging out I have a consistent bedtime that works for me It varies, I do not have a set routine

Check in on them and suggest a chat over tea Give them space but let them know I am here Respect their privacy unless they come to me Offer practical help like covering their chores

Love them! A flat pet would be amazing Only if there are clear rules about care and mess I would prefer not to, they add complications I do not mind either way

Face-to-face chats, it builds our bond A shared group chat for practical things Quick messages only when something actually needs saying However works best in the moment

A lazy day on the sofa with a film and snacks A group brunch and maybe a board game Catching up on chores and meal prepping for the week Out doing my own thing, the flat is just where I sleep

Reliability and keeping shared spaces clean Being friendly, warm, and up for socialising Being respectful of quiet and personal space Being chilled out and not sweating the small stuff
