FlatHomes History

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.

Why Choose FlatHomes?


At FlatHomes, we believe in building relationships, not just closing deals. Our story began over two decades ago, back in 2000, when digital advertising was in its infancy. We relied on newspaper adverts, property boards, and, most importantly, word of mouth to grow our business.

Fast forward to today, and while technology has changed dramatically, our core values haven't. We still pride ourselves on the fact that the main source of our new business comes from the positive feedback and referrals of our satisfied clients. We've always avoided a "hard sell" approach, preferring to let our service speak for itself. This commitment to client satisfaction means you can expect a transparent, supportive, and stress-free experience with us.



Our Vision: Growth, Service, and Comprehensive Property Solutions



While our roots are firmly planted in lettings and property management, we're always looking to evolve & offering a seamless experience whether you're looking to letor manage your property.

Furthermore, our ever-growing network of trusted local tradespeople means we can continue to provide an excellent and reliable maintenance service. This comprehensive approach ensures your property is always in expert hands, from finding the right Contract Holders to handling any necessary repairs.

Choose FlatHomes for a personal, professional, and proven approach to property. We're here to support you every step of the way.
