You can now browse all of our student properties and get your viewings booked in!
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.
Sending their child off to university can be a daunting thought for a parent, so we've put our heads together with the parents of some of our contract-holders and produced this guide to student lettings from their perspective. If the information we’ve given doesn’t quite hit the spot, please feel free to get in touch.
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!

"Booking a viewing was really easy with CPS. They were really helpful in helping us find an apartment and the agent who showed us round was very friendly and answered any questions we had. Really good experience!"

"CPS were so helpful especially as we were all very nervous when it came to renting a house for the first time. They recommended a great range of houses with a range of prices in our budget and a few outside of it to allow us to compare. They were so friendly and welcoming in both the Albany and Woodville branch and made us feel more confident when buying the house and helped with any problems and concerns we had. I would definitely recommend to a friend!"

"Fast and friendly! Oliva provided us with all the information needed. Made the appointment and rescheduled it to fit all of us all in to view a house. When viewing the house she was realistic with our budget. She organised the viewings from most expensive to least. This showed us realistically what we could expect from a house. I suggest every student use CPS Homes to book their student house!"

"An excellent customer service. Friendy and polite staff. They did all they could to help us and find a place that would meet our needs. The viewings were carried out in a professional way and the agents were very open to answering any question or doubt about the property. The following process was straightforward and simple. CPS staff definitely looked after us, and were available at all times. So, a big thank you."

"Very helpful in helping us decide on a property with excellent knowledge of the local area and Cardiff in general. No 'agency talk,' just genuinely helpful and put a lot of effort into making sure their customers make the right decisions."
