We ensure all our student accommodation – houses and flats – meet the latest lettings standards set by Cardiff Council, so you can focus on the things that matter to you; like the size of your lounge, the distance to uni, and how close you'll be to your favourite pub!
Tell us what's important to you and let us do the hard work. Whether you're on a tight budget or want to splash out on a nicer pad, we've housed tens of thousands of student contract-holders over the years, so don't be afraid to ask!
As the biggest provider of student accommodation in Cardiff, we offer more properties and house more students than anyone else. We have houses and flats close to every university campus and boast a large portfolio of newly-refurbished student houses. Our properties are accurately-priced for lower and higher-end budgets. Many are offered with a 'bills included in rent' option, saving you the hassle of sorting them out separately. We carry out accompanied viewings until 8pm during our busy periods.
Our first ever branch was in Cathays, so we’ve always had strong links to Cardiff's student community – none more so than through the clubs and societies we sponsor each year. Last year we sponsored more than ten university sides, encompassing over 500 students in total. Our dedicated team will help you settle during your student years in Cardiff.
We host a popular annual 'welcome to Cardiff' food and drink event outside our Woodville Road, Cathays branch each year. Join our Facebook community and stay up-to-date with all the local events we sponsor.
If you've recently arrived in Cardiff to begin your studies, chances are you've already moved into student halls. Our step-by-step student renting guide helps make the process of renting a house much simpler – the way it should be! From finding the right home to signing the occupation contract, we've got it covered.
We work hard to help you find your perfect home by tailoring our search to your requirements - whether that be a short walk from your uni campus, an open-plan kitchen/lounge or a garden for BBQs!
We always go the extra mile for our contract-holders. We're big believers in "if you don't ask, you don't get", so we regularly negotiate extras such as washer-dryers, LED TVs and cool corner sofas!

Scott was very professional and friendly and explained everything as he was going along, his ideas and implementation were excellent. Scott was also very understanding and engaging with our dog who is not always a fan of strangers and this made the process much easier for me."
