We were approached by this landlord to βtenant findβ for the remaining rooms in this funky property and help fill it for the 2025-2025 academic year.
It was an easy βYesβ for us! This Russell street student house has been finished to a high spec and is filled with character, boasting all ensuite rooms too – A huge selling point.
We offer a no strings attached relationship, which takes the pressure off filling those dreaded voids!
βοΈ We market the property
βοΈ We communicate with potential housemates
βοΈ We arrange the viewings
βοΈ We conduct the viewings
βοΈ We assess if the housemate / group are a good fit
βοΈ We process application
βοΈ We sort referencing
βοΈ We get the contracts sorted and signed
βοΈ We take deposits
βοΈ We then hand it all over to the landlord
If you are a landlord wanting to get rid of one massive tick list, we can definitely help!

ππ» Another room ready to say βnice to meet ya!β
βͺοΈ As expected this bright and pastel inspired professional room wasnβt available for long, as we have an applicant going through referencing.
βͺοΈ This is a management property so we complete everything on behalf of the landlord, allowing them to have the hands off experience that they signed up for!
βͺοΈ This room was left in a great condition, allowing a 1 day turn around!
Clean done βοΈ
Check in inventory done βοΈ
Keys checked βοΈ
Ready to rock! βοΈ
βͺοΈ We follow the same process on every check in / check out. Itβs becoming more seamless every time and ensures all boxes are ticked for an even more seamless check in!
ππ» Excited to welcome a new housemate into the Colony!

π Langland Terrace – FULLY OCCUPIED
βοΈ As we fill the final room in Langland Terrace we have taken a look back to how it was before renovation β¦.
π Tired and lacking in character – We brought it back to life with a paint, new carpets, new furniture and an individual print in each room to set them apart
π ROOM 1 & 2 have also had new insulation this year – This will prevent any potential damp issues arising and lock in the heat more effectively on these cold Welsh mornings!
ππ» This student house has already been snapped up for the 2025-2025 academic year. But we do have a select few remaining if you are still looking.
π Happy Monday all – Have a great week π

π And we are off! π
π Great start to the viewings this week! Louisa has been conducting virtual viewings for our professional rooms and is also available to show the student properties.
π§ If you require a short contract till the end of this student year we have a handful of rooms still available – Swipe to see!
π Otherwise, if you are looking to secure a house for 2025-2026 we also have a few left
π₯ We have seen a lot more urgency this year amongst groups so most of our houses have gone!
π For info on what we have left, email – [email protected] and our wonderful admin assistant Tina can assist π
π€« We are undergoing a full refurb on 2 student properties on Gwydr terrace – they will be brand new! To express an interest in these and be ahead of the game – Let Tina know!
