⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really impressed with Colony Living. The team was professional, friendly, and helpful, and the whole process was handled smoothly and efficiently. Communication was clear, and their attention to detail made everything feel well organised. A great choice for student and professional accommodation in Swansea. Highly recommended!
Started working with Matthew about a year ago. What an absolute gent, super knowledgeable, super passionate about getting it right and doing right by not only the owners but by the students. Cannot recommend highly enough either as a landlord or as a student. Can’t wait for many more projects together.
I've lived with Colony Living for the past 2 years, and I honestly couldn't recommend them enough. Any time we reported an issue, it was dealt with quickly and professionally, and communication was always easy. A massive shout-out to Matt, Louisa, and the other Matt , genuinely a great bunch of people who always went out of their way to help. It's made renting so much less stressful knowing that any problems would actually get sorted. If you're looking for landlords who are responsive, approachable, and genuinely care about their tenants, I'd definitely recommend Colony Living. Thanks again for making the last two years such a positive experience!
Absolutely Outstanding HMO Management – Highly Recommend Colony Coliving We use Colony Coliving to manage our HMOs in Swansea, and I can honestly say they’ve been nothing short of amazing. Both Morgan and Matthew have proven themselves to be highly professional, responsive, and genuinely proactive agents. Vacant rooms that were previously sitting empty for months with other agents were filled in days — sometimes within a week. They’ve tackled maintenance issues that I initially thought were major problems, resolving them quickly and cost-effectively. What really stands out is how contactable and solution-focused they are — no chasing, no delays, just excellent service. Compared to previous agents (who frankly had no idea how to manage HMOs), the difference is night and day. The old management left beautiful, high-spec rooms empty for long periods and didn’t handle issues or offer out-of-hours support — meaning I ended up stepping in myself. Since switching to Colony, that stress has completely disappeared. They’re also always looking for ways to improve their service and have been a pleasure to work with. I have no intention of going elsewhere. Highly recommend to any landlord who wants proper, professional HMO management.
Colony Living leased one of my Brynmill HMO properties and then subsequently purchased the property after the 3 year period. Great team to work with and couldn't be happier with the experience.
We recently used Colony Living to project manage a design and refurbishment of a HMO we bought. Very happy with the service they provided, they have a wealth of knowledge within the industry and were informative and professional throughout. Highly recommend
I have sampled most of Swansea’s letting agents but I can assure you these guys are the best by a country mile. From a landlord perspective I have very limited involvement due to how Morgan and Matthew run Colony Living so efficiently. Any maintenance issues are addressed with multiple quotes and any challenges are only brought to myself if absolutely necessary. Couldn’t recommend them enough and can only hope they keep up the standards they have set so far. Good effort all!
