I would strongly advise against renting with CPS Homes in Cardiff

I would strongly advise against renting through CPS Homes. Our experience has been a complete disaster.
First of all the property was handed over to my son in an appalling state. There were multiple issues, including, how filthy the house was for a start, dangerous sockets, taps not working, sink blocked, that should have been addressed before he moved in. It was clear that no thorough inspection or cleaning had been done prior to his arrival.
The customer service has been just as bad. Their lack of empathy and support has been extremely disappointing and has caused myself and my son stress and inconvenience. This should have been an exciting time for my son, moving to Cardiff for University. Instead it made the move unpleasant.
I have rented several properties in the past myself and have never experienced service so poor.
They seem happy to collect rent but show little interest in providing a decent living environment or support to tenants. Save yourself the trouble and look elsewhere.

Dear Leanne,

Thank you for your review. We’re sorry that your experience with CPS Homes hasn’t been a positive one. We’ve reached out to you via Trustpilot’s private messaging platform in order to ascertain which property your soon rented through CPS Homes and when, so that we may look into your comments and respond in detail.

Commenting more broadly until we get that information, we do carry out an inspection prior to each tenancy started and, if needed, instruct a local contractor to perform a clean. Cleaning standards are subjective, and cleaning contractors are not against reattending a property if incoming occupants believe further cleaning may be required. Had this been communicated, we or the landlord would have requested that the contractor visit again and act with your son’s direction.

We await further information on the alleged dangerous sockets. In line with legislation, every property’s electrical installation is periodically inspected and tested, and in line with guidance, items such as sockets are inspected visually between tenancies.

We take pride in conducting thorough inspections of our properties prior to each new tenancy. However, some issues may not be immediately apparent during an inspection, particularly if the property is unoccupied at the time. Certain maintenance issues only become evident once the property is in daily use. While we strive to identify and address potential issues proactively, we also rely on feedback from both previous tenants and new occupants to alert us to any concerns that may arise after move-in. We encourage contract-holders to reach out at any time with maintenance requests, and we are always here to address them promptly with their landlord.

Finally, we feel it’s important to establish CPS Homes’ scope as a managing agent. We are the ‘middleman’, sitting between landlord and contract-holder(s). Our aim is to ensure both sides are adhering to their legal and contractual obligations. The landlord owns the property and holds the ‘purse strings’, so when maintenance or improvement requests are made to us, we pass them onto the landlord with our comments. If they instruct us not to proceed with something – whether that be correctly or incorrectly in accordance with their legal or contractual obligations, in our opinion – we must take their instruction. We will always communicate the landlord’s reasoning to contract-holders and again offer our comments.

We look forward to working with you, your son and the landlord to resolve any outstanding issues you may have.

Kind regards,

The CPS Homes Team.

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!!

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.
