About FlatHomes

Welcome to FlatHomes – where local expertise meets family values.

Established in 2000, FlatHomes began with a simple yet powerful vision: to provide dedicated support to independent landlords. Our story started, quite literally, from a conservatory, where our founder, Gwilym Rees, a private landlord himself, set out to help others like him connect with suitable Contract Holders for their vacant properties.

The name "FlatHomes" is a nod to our deep roots in the region, inspired by Flat Holm, the historic island nestled in the Bristol Channel – a landmark visible from many of the areas we proudly serve.

From those humble beginnings, our commitment to service quickly resonated with the local community. What started as a focused effort to assist landlords in Cardiff and Penarth soon expanded to cover parts of Barry, Newport, and the lower valleys, reflecting the trust and demand for our tailored approach.

Today, FlatHomes remains a proud family-run business, but our scope has grown significantly. We now offer a comprehensive suite of property services, expertly guiding both landlords and Contract Holders through every aspect of the property journey. Whether you're looking to let your property, find your next home, or require professional property management, our experienced team is here to provide reliable, efficient, and friendly support.

At FlatHomes, we believe in building lasting relationships based on transparency, integrity, and a genuine understanding of the local property market. We're not just about properties; we're about people and communities.

We look forward to helping you achieve your property goals.

The level of professionalism, care and friendliness during the all the process was just outstanding. Firstly big thanks to Gareth who was my first line of contact and who helped me part in the process to find my very first home in Cardiff.
