About FlatHomes

FlatHomes is a family run business with dealings throughout Cardiff and Penarth, including parts of Barry, Newport and the lower valleys. Established in 2000, the name derives  from the similarly spelt Bristol Channel island, Flat Holm.  Set up in a conservatory by a private landlord, Gwilym Rees, primarily just to help other independent landlords find tenants for their vacant properties the business soon expanded to cover all aspects of property services.
