14th October 2024

When CPS Homes marketed the property Jess contacted me four days later to say it was let! The student groups they have provided have thankfully been pleasant and polite tenants which is reassuring for a landlord. Rhys is conscientious and thorough as the lettings manager and send updates informing landlords of the latest changes in legislation and tips on keeping a property at its best. I would also like to mention Cameron who has been prompt and helpful in answering my queries despite being out of the office conducting viewings. I cannot recommend CPS Homes enough.

We went for a tour of some houses in cathays with Bethany from CPS Homes, and she was an absolute star. Not only was she the nicest person, she made us feel so welcome and comfortable to comment on the houses. So thankful for her as the first house we viewed was spot on what we were looking for. Went back and sorted everything out, and it was the easiest process this time around thanks to Beth!!

Super agents!

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.

Big thanks to Angela and Chelsea at CPS Homes

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.

Very polite and helpful staff

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.

An honest review of CPS

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.

Hi JL,

We’re sorry you’ve had a less than positive experience. Due to a lack of information & detail provided, we cannot locate you on our database, so to verify & learn more about your experience, we’d appreciate it if you could provide us with more information in response to the private Trustpilot message we’ve sent you.

Speaking broadly until we know more, if we’re aware of any construction work to be completed that will affect enjoyment, we’ll always inform incoming/current occupants. However, there’s a big difference between obtaining planning permission as you’ve stated in your review, and then carrying out the work that the permission allows. It’s not unusual for work to start years after planning permission is granted, or possibly never at all. As such, whilst Cardiff Council will notify neighbouring properties of an application for planning permission, this does not state when – if ever – the work will begin. Additionally, the Council will inform the occupants of the neighbouring properties, not the managing agent, so there’s a good chance we at CPS Homes weren’t aware of the planning application &/or the work being carried out. Without knowing the property you occupied, it’s impossible to ascertain.

Occupation contracts are between contract-holder(s) & landlord. So if there are ever any proposed deposit deductions to claim for, it’s the landlord who chooses to submit this claim. We’d much prefer not to have to make a claim from a deposit. We don't profit in any way from said deductions, and it's far quicker & easier to return a deposit in full.

Our contract with the landlord stipulates that we’ll document the condition of the property at the end of the tenancy (as we also do at the beginning of each tenancy), then provide this report to them for their assessment, as – again – being the owner of the property, they’re the decision maker. Within the report, we highlight items that we believe are a result of wear & tear, therefore the responsibility of the landlord to make good before any new contract-holders arrive. We also highlight any items we believe to be over & beyond fair wear & tear, which – if substantially different to the condition at the start of the tenancy – they may wish to claim from the deposit for. Once the landlord has decided how they wish to proceed, we add comments to the inspection report & send it over to the contract-holder(s) for their perusal. We invite contract-holders to comment on anything noted as being over & beyond fair wear & tear. This demonstrates a transparent, two-way process that is geared towards avoiding any potential deposit dispute. When contract-holders provide their comments, as we always encourage them to do, we revert back to the landlord & attempt to negotiate the deposit return of behalf of both.

It's not uncommon for there to be a dispute after moving out. Quite rightly, contract-holders wish to receive as much of their deposit back as possible, whereas landlords would like to be compensated for any dilapidation they believe is not a result of wear & tear. So, by virtue of their own standpoints, deposit claims are a contentious matter. Thankfully, the process described earlier in this reply successfully resolves most potential deposit disputes before they become protracted, which we think is something that should be commended.

As with any deposit return, if a contract-holder feels a landlord's claim is not justified & a mutual agreement cannot be reached, the deposit scheme that protects the deposit can appoint an unbiased, impartial adjudicator to consider all evidence & make a ruling. We're pleased to say most deposits CPS Homes return are done so with mutual agreement between landlord & contract-holder, meaning only a small minority require independent adjudication.

We aim to give as much notice as possible of viewings – at least 24 hours’ notice, but often more. There is no legal minimum period of notice for viewings: this is a contractual matter.

CPS Homes.

Extremely poor company

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!

Hi J,

Thank you for your review. We’re sorry that you’ve had a less than positive experience with CPS Homes, though we’d like to know about you and the property you live in so we can look closer into our dealings with you, in order to verify what you have said. We have approached you via Trustpilot’s private messaging platform for this information, but until we receive it, we will respond based on what we believe to be correct.

From your comments, it sounds as if you are a contract-holder in a property we are currently marketing for sale on behalf of your landlord (the owner). If this is correct, we would have approached you with proposed viewing dates/times. Where an occupier isn’t able to accommodate the viewings on the date(s) or time(s) provided, we’re happy to work with you to find a suitable, mutual alternative. Your contract is likely to state that your landlord or somebody on their behalf is able to enter the property for the purpose of a viewing provided the stated level of notice has been provided, so we and your landlord are not doing anything legally or contractually incorrect by attempting to arrange viewings. We trust that a date/time we propose soon will be convenient for you.

In response to your final comment, we are obliged to provide feedback to the owner of the property based on our findings whilst visiting a property, which would include tenant actions/inactions.

Kind regards,

The CPS Homes Team.

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!
