  • HMOs, or house shares are all about sharing the love—literally. You’ll share your home with other lovely renters and have your own private room. Forget the tired old HMO stereotypes. Affordable, social, and comfy? Yes, please!

  • Good news! Your rent doesn’t just cover the basics, it covers everything: utility bills, council tax, and high-speed internet. Plus, you get to enjoy shared spaces like the living areas. Babouris co—homes are designed to make your life easy and social —without the extra cost.

  • Ready to join the Babouris family? The process is a breeze. Fill out an application, send us some ID, proof of income/student status and we’ll do a quick check. Once that’s done, all you need to do is pay a deposit and sign on the dotted line. Let us take care of the rest.

  • Sharing is caring! As a renter in an HMO, or as we prefer, house share, it’s all about respect. Keep your space neat, be considerate of your housemates and stay on top of rent. If something breaks, give us a shout—we’ve got you! And remember, good people make for great shared living experiences.

  • Oops, lost your keys? Don’t stress! Just let us know, and we’ll hook you up with a new set. Depending on the situation, there might be a small fee, but we’ll keep things as hassle-free as possible. Need to change the locks? We’ve got locksmiths you can use for that too!

  • It’s time to say goodbye. But before you leave, make sure you give us a heads-up as per your notice period. Clear out your stuff, give the place a quick clean and hand the keys back. Easy peasy. Oh, and if you need help with cleaning services or anything else, just ask!

  • Fallen in love with your space? Want to hang around a little longer? We get it. Just reach out to us a couple of months before your tenancy agreement ends and we’ll sort out the details. Who knows, we might even be able to find you an upgrade!
