I'm looking for a flat in London at the moment; I want a 1 bedroom flat, but not a studio flat. You can't search for that using your UI.

Noted - we added studio / flat share options very recently, and just need to update the search page. Will add that to our short-term TODO list!

Please make sure searching for 1-bed apartments does not show studios and flatshares. This is absolutely infuriating on many other sites.

I have to agree; it has to be the most frustrating part of looking for a flat.

Another thing I hate is no plan. Pictures are great, but without a plan it's really hard to imagine how big (small) rooms are.

This is a great point. I'm looking for a 1 bed place in London at the moment. I don't mind a studio, but showing flat shares when I have put a maximum of 1 bedroom in the filter is very annoying (looking at you, rightmove)

Just to add a second to this, when I was last flat hunting some 5 months ago this was a huge problem for me online - searching for '1-bed' would show me studios and flatshares when all I was interested in was a proper 1-bed flat. Glad to hear you're working on it, I've bookmarked you for the next time I move.
