CPS Homes Reviews 

I went for a viewing with Marta on the 21 Of October and ended up placing an offer for the flat the very same day.

Lovely experience very explained and was also early.

Florence was amazing and so helpful, she was so knowledgeable and could answer any question we gave her.

we recently went through the process of renting a uni house! Derry was absolutely amazing and was really helpful with the process. She answered all our questions clearly and made our experience overall amazing! She was so so lovely and i couldn’t recommend her enough!

Fantastic service from CPS, highly recommend.

Super agents!! CPS just know how to sell property. Excellent, professional presentation giving a sale it’s best selling shot . . but it’s the back office progression and attention to detail that sets them apart. Well done all round.

I recently purchased a property through CPS Homes and the experience was slick and smooth.
Angela from the sales team was direct and clear. I felt I could trust her every word.
Then I dealt with Chelsea for the sale progression. She was very responsive and helped to deal with any queries I had.

The team at CPS homes, led by Nathan, were absolutely brilliant. They communicated quickly and pushed my selling agent along when necessary. Recommend them without reservation.

Jordan Parry has been fantastic when helping me rent my flat out for the first time! With clear and consistent communication on what's been happening, cannot thank him enough!

Thanks again Jordan 💖

When I initially viewed a property to rent, Florence (Flo) showed me around. She was extremely friendly, helpful, and was able to answer all of my questions. Once I reserved a room, I was then kept up-to-date by Aman, who responded promptly and provided clarification for any queries I had.

Very professional and knowledgeable service.

Excellent efficient and friendly service with good local knowledge

Very professional and knowledgeable service from Velislava at CPS. Always prompt to get back to me and kept me fully in the loop about developments in arranging a new contract for tenants. Polite, respectful and very helpful. Thank you.

We moved out in July 2023 but Trustpilot does not accept reviews from over a year. Please excuse the slight error in date. We have taken over a year to collect our thoughts about CPS, and now that we have experience with other Cardiff estate agents, we wanted to post our review. Our experience with CPS had many issues.
They did not tell us about the incredibly loud construction work next door that caused our wall to shake, and claimed to have never been notified. However, in discussions with the contractors and landlords next door, we discovered that all parties had in fact been notified and granted the proper permissions. Either the chain of information at CPS is that poor, or they’d simply lied to us about the matter.
Any minor damage was immediately assumed to be entirely our fault, and seized upon as an excuse to retain our deposit. They wanted to charge us to send a contractor to put a new mattress cover on the bed, even though we had discussed the matter beforehand and provided a brand new one when we moved out. When we questioned their logic, they immediately dropped the issue, which we think shows they knew it was nonsense to begin with. We only seemed to be notified about property viewings the legally minimum time beforehand.

CPS is a dominant agency for Cardiff students, but based on our experience we cannot recommend renting from them.

Following the reply from CPS I am adding an edit in:
There was a contractor drilling into our wall next door and causing picture frames to fall off. We know the landlord was aware of it and omitted this information, as the landlord was the one who recommended the building works. When we contacted CPS about the noise, they pretended they didn't know.
The landlord on our contract was also a member of staff at CPS, so they must have known about the building works. Although we have since learned that the landlord could potentially be the owner of CPS instead, as our tenancy agreement shows the landlord as a company, which when searched on gov.uk, shows the owner of CPS homes as the director. So every time CPS communicated to us with 'we are not your landlord, we are just an estate agent', they lied. As the director of CPS was also our landlord.
The funny thing about requesting some of our deposit, was that initially after we moved out, our inspection said everything was perfect and we would receive our deposit back. We emailed back many times to confirm this before signing the agreement, as we had heard that CPS tried to take deposits from other tenants and we wanted written confirmation before agreeing (watch 'Joe Lycett's Got Your Back'). 2 weeks after moving out and other tenants having lived there in that time, did we receive an email back saying 'we would have loved to give you your deposit back but unfortunately we can't', for 'stains on a mattress' that did not exist. They wanted £50 from our deposit to purchase a mattress protector for the stains, which also does not make any sense. When we challenged them on this, they decided that actually, they did not need the money anymore. It is clear they will try and take money from anyone's deposit if they can.
We also experienced at least one instance of not being given 24 hours notice of a viewing, and furthermore being told of a viewing and then not being notified when it was cancelled. Instead we heard nothing from CPS, and they just did not show up.
Finally, the flat we lived in was poorly refitted. Every time we used the washing machine, the entire flat shook. There was no window in the bathroom, nor was the ventilation strong enough, often resulting in mould, no matter how much drying or wiping we did in the bathroom.
I cannot in good faith recommend CPS to be anyone else's lettings agent.

Chels has been very professional, on time with responses and communication. Always willing and available to answer our questions as newbies in the market. Gave Suggestions to help us save money! Thank you so much.

Extremely poor company - they have been featured on a bbc documentary in the past!

Constant harassment from staff when told viewings are not suitable as a tenant. They also act as a middleman to inform landlords of tenants actions when they are only managing sales and not actually managing a property!

Derry paid a visit to the house for an inventory and seemed very nice. She also made sure to take photos of everything, ensuring the inventory is done well.
Thank you for coming down!

The comparison between CPS and the previous agent has been marked. Tiffany at CPS, updated us on each step of the sale process and offered informed opinion when asked. I highly recommend CPS for local knowledge and highly competent staff. My only regret was not engaging them sooner.

CPS Homes have managed the letting of my property in CF24 for several years and the service has been great.

Renewals have been managed efficiently with minimal / gap - thanks to Rhys Owen and team who have just secured new tenants at the most recent time of asking!

I recently secured a new home, and the process has been incredibly smooth and positive. Marta and the rest of the team were exceptionally supportive and helpful throughout. Marta, in particular, was always available to answer any questions and provided thorough and prompt responses, making the entire experience stress-free.

Everything was handled professionally and efficiently, from viewing the property to finalising the tenancy agreement. I’m very pleased with the service provided and highly recommend renting a property through this team.

Thank you for your excellent support!
