Here’s why we’re different

  • Simple terms. No deposits, hidden fees, inventories or guarantors.
  • Rent directly from our small team who deal with everything in‑house.
  • Clear and transparent pricing.
  • Option for bills included with rent as one easy payment.
  • Simple quarterly payments,
    and you don’t pay anything until you move in.
  • Rent is kept the same for stay‑on groups.
  • Free wall-fixing service to make a house a home.

We hand pick the most popular student locations for Cardiff University and thoughtfully design them into the best student houses.

Don't just take our word for it

The vast majority of our tenants come to us based on recommendations from family and friends who have lived with us!

John has the best positions in Cathays, although we didn’t realise it when we took the house Carly, Woodville Road
Thank you very much for the excellent service you’ve provided us for the past two years — couldn’t recommend you highly enough. Glen — Rhymney Street & Harriet Street
We’ve stayed with John for two years, since we left Hall Francesca, Rhymney Street
I have had three daughters in University recently — one in Bristol, one in Bath and one in Cardiff. Your house is the only one I am totally happy with. I only wish my other two girls had been similarly well housed. Thank you! Mrs Kershaw, Kensington, London
Hall was fun last year, but being in one of Mr. Winter’s houses is real fun! Kelly, Thesiger Street
I love our modern lounge with ceiling beams and electric roof windows Chantelle, Coburn Street
