Lettings · Property management · Cardiff

Welsh letting law is a full-time job. It’s just not yours.

Occupation contracts, written statements on a 14-day clock, fitness standards, safety certificates that expire quietly. We keep all of it in order, find you a well-referenced contract-holder, collect the rent and report back every month — and you deal with the same person every time.

Services

Three ways to work with us

Start light and switch on more as your needs change. Whichever you choose, the legal side is handled and your monthly statement arrives clear and on time. Pricing comes in a written proposal after your valuation, so you’re quoted on your actual property rather than an average.

Let-only

We market your property, handle enquiries and viewings, reference the tenant, draw up a compliant occupation contract and complete the move-in. You take it from there.

Rent collection

Everything in let-only, plus we collect the rent, chase arrears the day they happen and send you a clear monthly statement — so you always know where you stand.

Full management

Completely hands-off. We look after the tenant, organise repairs and maintenance, keep safety certificates in date, inspect regularly and handle renewals — you just read the statement.

Block & freeholder management

We also take on service-charge and communal management for freeholders, developers and RTM companies — budgets you can hand to leaseholders without apologising for them, and a building that’s maintained rather than just invoiced for. We follow the RICS Service Charge Residential Management Code (we are not RICS-regulated). Tell us about your building and we’ll tell you what we’d do with it.

Why landlords choose us

Four fewer things to worry about

Letting a property in Wales carries more legal weight than most landlords are told. Here’s what we take off your plate.

01

One named person, start to finish

You get a named property manager, and it’s the same person every time — someone who knows you, your property and your tenant. Not a call centre, and never a new name to explain yourself to.

02

Welsh compliance, handled

Gas safety, EICR, EPC, smoke and CO alarms and the Renting Homes (Wales) paperwork — tracked and met for your tenancy, without you having to ask. Your tenant’s deposit is registered with a government-approved protection scheme inside the statutory 30 days. Getting any of this wrong is expensive and it lands on you, not your tenant. It’s our job to make sure it doesn’t happen.

03

Licensed — and answerable to someone other than ourselves

Cardiff Modern Living Management Ltd is licensed by Rent Smart Wales as a letting and management agent (#LR-96208-17295, valid to 23 July 2031) and is a member of the Property Redress Scheme, membership PRS059920. So if we get something wrong and can’t put it right between us, you have a free, independent route to escalate it. You are not relying on our goodwill — our complaints procedure is published in full.

04

Fair to tenants, better for you

We treat tenants as people you want to keep, not costs to be minimised. Well-treated tenants stay longer, look after the place and pay on time, and every month a good tenant stays is a month you’re not paying for a void.

How it works

From first call to first rent

1 Step one

A free rental valuation

We look at the property, tell you what it should realistically achieve in today’s Cardiff market — not a flattering number to win your business — and flag anything that needs doing before it can legally be let.

2 Step two

A written proposal

You get the service options and the costs for your property in writing, with no obligation. Take it away and think about it, or compare it against your current agent.

3 Step three

We get to work

Say yes and we handle the rest: marketing, viewings, referencing, the occupation contract, the compliance paperwork and the move-in.

Free, no obligation

Find out what your property should be earning

Tell us about your property and we’ll come back with a realistic rental valuation and a written proposal. No charge, no obligation, and no one will chase you afterwards.

Already have an agent? A second opinion costs you nothing, and the form takes two minutes.

We use your details only to reply to you. No marketing lists, and we never pass them on. See the privacy note in the footer.
