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.

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!

The best houses, no bond, no agency fees, and the best service without a doubt Daria — Woodville Road
It’s hard to grasp it all when first searching for a house, but John and the team really know what students need — the houses really are in the very best locations, and they’re perfectly designed for student living. Plus the service is amazing! Rebecca, Richards Street
We love living in our John Winter house! Lauren, Harriet Street
The team of maintenance men is fantastic! Problems are usually sorted quickly when we ring them. Rhian, Harriet Street
John has the best positions in Cathays, although we didn’t realise it when we took the house Carly, Woodville Road
I really love the house, the service has been well above par and the team are lovely. Highly recommend John Winter if you want a smooth, stress-free student living experience. Jess, Coburn Street
