  • 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.
  • Fast inter­net that actu­al­ly works in every room!

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

High quality homes for
you and your friends

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!

We only wish we’d found John Win­ter when search­ing for our first house — this year has been worlds apart from our last agent! Thank you! Ash­ley, The­siger Street
We’re going to real­ly strug­gle mov­ing on to ​‘nor­mal’ hous­ing when we have to leave here — it’s even bet­ter than being at home! Marie, 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
John has the best posi­tions in Cathays, although we did­n’t realise it when we took the house Car­ly, Woodville Road
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
