About FlatHomes

What our customers think

"Highly Recommend! We recently moved to a new home managed by FlatHomes and have been extremely impressed with their service so far. From our initial enquiries about the property to collecting the keys, everything was very well managed with excellent communication throughout. On moving in we noticed some very minor cleaning and maintenance issues, which were resolved within a week by friendly, professional contractors. We would highly recommend FlatHomes for anyone wanting a fuss-free rental property in Cardiff."
