OUR PHILOSOPHY WITH YOU IN MIND When you’re young or starting fresh in a city, the experience can be daunting. Not to mention lonely. We’ve seen it time and again in the rental market – frustrated, isolated residents who just need somewhere they feel comfortable in. What’s the answer? Traditional homes offer character, but not much else. Sky-high serviced apartments, meanwhile, link residents together, but lose individuality. So we set about combining the two. Creating a real community in properties that people love. We set about to reshape shared living forever. So that’s the genesis of co:home – to provide a better base for kicking back, meeting future friends, and waking up to wellbeing every day. And it’s more than a promise. It’s a reality across the UK. Our co:home communities just keep growing. BECOME OUR PARTNER Forget house shares where no-one interacts or cares for each other. co:home is different. We’re changing the rental market forever. Are you a landlord, hoping to add your property to our revolutionary coliving network? Make yours a co:home.
