What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Project management of shared housing refurbishments features prominently among the accounts left by landlords who bought properties and engaged Colony Living to oversee design and renovation work. Knowledge of the sector, combined with an informative and professional manner, is a strand that runs through many of these experiences. A theme running through the feedback is the pace at which maintenance problems are resolved across student lets and professional rentals, supported by communication that is regular, clear and consistent.

Named individuals, among them Matthew, Morgan, Louisa and a second Matt, are repeatedly described as friendly, approachable and genuinely committed to helping, with one landlord noting that difficulties were addressed rather than allowed to grow. Reviewers also draw attention to fair dealing, including the absence of unnecessary charges, and to well-maintained homes offered within a student budget.

For those with larger portfolios, the attraction rests on efficient management, with repair work quoted through multiple contractors and only essential decisions referred back. Tenants report that renting becomes considerably less stressful when faults are fixed promptly and contact remains straightforward, while longer associations have produced further projects and even the sale of a property once a tenancy ended. Responsive, knowledgeable management of shared and rental housing is the consistent thread.

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!
