5 Star Review 

…. When you and the landlord just click 🙌🏻

@matthew_willmott_property has worked closely with a new landlord to deliver a high end student house.

⚒️ From a complete renovation to filling the rooms for the next academic year, it’s great to see how successful this partnership has been so far 🤝

🤝 Dan was a dream to work with. He took our guidance on board and was involved with the process throughout. Open to our ideas and offering his own also along the way.

Frequently asked questions

What is shared accommodation?

Shared accommodation, or a HMO is where a number of individuals live within the same property but have their own personal, private bedroom, but have use of shared spaces within the accommodation which will include communal areas, bathrooms and kitchens.

​Colony Living is your go to professional and student letting agency in Swansea.

What's the benefit of sharing a house?

Furnished – Being able to move straight in to a property as a student or young professional without having to buy your own bed or bedroom furniture is an advantage that our tenants love.
