Renting Services
We don't list every property online. Tell us what you're looking for and we'll match you to suitable homes from our managed portfolio - often before they're advertised. Here's how renting with us works, and what to expect as a contract-holder in Wales.
How it works
Cardiff's best rental homes move fast, and the right one is often gone before it's advertised. Rather than refreshing portals, register your criteria with us. We'll match you to suitable homes from the portfolio we manage and let you know the moment something fits - so you spend less time searching and more time choosing.
Your wishlist
Pick the things that matter to you - area, type, size, budget and timing. It gives us an at-a-glance picture of your ideal home so we can match you faster. (You'll confirm your details in the form below.)
Like the look of one of these? Send us the full picture and we'll start matching.
Register my requirementsFrom search to keys
Four simple stages take you from registering your requirements to moving in.
Register your requirements and we match you to suitable homes from our managed portfolio - often before they're advertised anywhere else.
We arrange viewings at times that suit you, in person or by video, and answer every question about the home and the area.
Once you've chosen a home, we run referencing, take a holding deposit and prepare your occupation contract ready to sign.
Collect your keys, get your written statement of the contract, and settle in with a managing agent who's there for the whole term.
Renting in Wales
Renting in Wales has its own rules, designed to protect you. Here's what the law guarantees when you rent a home through Arthur & Hamilton.
Renting in Wales is governed by the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016. You're a contract-holder on a standard contract - and you must receive a written statement of that occupation contract within 14 days of moving in.
Your home must meet the Fitness for Human Habitation standard, including mains-wired interlinked smoke alarms on every storey and carbon monoxide alarms by any fuel-burning appliances.
An electrical safety report (EICR) is carried out at least every five years, and where there's gas an annual gas safety check is completed by a qualified engineer.
Every landlord and agent must be registered and licensed with Rent Smart Wales - so you always know who is responsible for your home.
Most fees are banned under the Renting Homes (Fees etc.)(Wales) Act 2019. Only permitted payments apply - rent, a security deposit, a holding deposit capped at one week's rent, and any default payments.
Any security deposit you pay is protected in a government-approved deposit scheme within 30 days, so it's safeguarded for the duration of your contract.
Why register with us
Registering puts you ahead of the portals - here's what you get.
Many of our homes are matched to registered renters before they ever go online.
Shared houses and student lets are our core focus - we know what makes a good room and a good housemate fit.
We manage the homes we let, so the person who shows you round is the person who looks after you afterwards.
Cathays, Roath, the city centre and beyond - we know these streets and the landlords on them.
