Babouris

Babouris is a property lettings and management agency based in Cambridge, specialising in Houses of Multiple Occupancy (HMOs) for both professionals and students. The company focuses on delivering quality, sustainability, and fostering a sense of community within its shared living spaces. Established on April 19, 2018, Babouris has developed a portfolio of properties across Cambridge, aiming to provide sustainable and affordable living options. The firm has garnered multiple accolades, including being recognised as the "Best UK Agency" and "Best Manager of Student HMOs" at the HMO Awards.

The company's co-living spaces, referred to as "co-homes" or "house shares," are designed to offer a comprehensive and hassle-free living experience. Rent in these properties covers utility bills, council tax, and high-speed internet, ensuring a single monthly payment for residents. Babouris provides fully furnished rooms and kitchens, aiming to make residents feel at home from their first day. The properties also feature shared living areas, promoting social interaction and community among housemates.

Babouris caters to a diverse clientele, offering homes specifically for professionals and students across various Cambridge locations. The company manages nearly one thousand rooms throughout the city, providing options such as one and two-bed suites in areas like Newmarket Road, Greenlands, Apthorpe Way, and Glebe Road for professionals. For students, properties like those on Longview Terrace, Histon Road, Victoria Road, and Abbey Road are available. Babouris addresses the rising demand for housing in Cambridge by repurposing existing properties into high-end shared homes, thereby creating connections and enriching daily life for its residents.

The firm provides 24/7 on-demand support to its residents, ensuring assistance is available for any issues that may arise. The application process for a Babouris co-home involves submitting an application, identification, and proof of income or student status, followed by a quick check, deposit payment, and tenancy agreement signing. Residents are expected to maintain their living space, be considerate of housemates, and pay rent promptly. In cases of lost keys, the company offers replacements, potentially with a small fee, and can arrange locksmith services if lock changes are required.

For tenancy extensions, residents are advised to contact Babouris a couple of months before their agreement concludes. Beyond direct lettings, Babouris also operates as a property management firm and an independent letting agency, actively involved in the shared living sector. The company's business activities include other letting and operating of own or leased real estate, real estate agencies, and the management of real estate on a fee or contract basis. Babouris works with investors to maximise property investments, transforming real estate assets into high-performing income streams through sourcing, acquisition, renovation, management, and strategic asset optimisation.

This approach is supported by industry expertise, award-winning operations, and technology, aiming for efficiency, profitability, and long-term value appreciation for the properties it manages. The company also undertakes property development, such as the launch of architect-designed apartments at 174 Hills Road in Cambridge.
