Colony Co-Living

Colony Living is a property management company based in Swansea, UK, specialising in shared accommodation for students and young professionals. The firm provides comprehensive management services for Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMO) properties across Swansea. Its office is located at Caswell Mews, Caswell Street, Swansea. The company's core focus is on enhancing the shared living experience within the city, offering modern and affordable rooms designed to provide a comfortable environment for individuals studying or working in Swansea.

The company was founded by Morgan Roberts and Matthew Willmott, both of whom are former students and young working professionals. Their establishment of Colony Living was driven by their personal experiences with the standard of shared accommodation available in the market. This background informed their mission to revitalise the shared accommodation sector in Swansea, aiming to deliver co-living spaces that meet the expectations of students and working professionals. The firm is dedicated to fostering a sense of community and ensuring that residents can take pride in their living arrangements.

For its residents, Colony Living offers all-inclusive rooms that aim to simplify budgeting by covering utilities such as gas, electricity, water, and superfast broadband. The properties are fully furnished with contemporary interiors and thoughtful designs, requiring only personal bedding upon move-in. The company provides an emergency 24/7 contact number for any issues that may arise, alongside a commitment to prompt and reliable service. Flexible rental terms are available, including options for zero deposits, subject to referencing and the provision of a suitable UK homeowner guarantor.

Colony Living's portfolio includes properties situated in key areas popular with both students and professionals in Swansea. These locations encompass Brynmill, Uplands, Mount Pleasant, Sketty, and the City Centre, offering convenient access to Swansea University campuses, hospitals, transport links, and local amenities. The company's approach to accommodation is designed to support both individual residents and groups of friends seeking shared living arrangements. Beyond tenant services, Colony Living also provides property management solutions for landlords.

The firm offers peace of mind through guaranteed rental income and a commitment to maintaining the condition of properties. This includes routine property inspections, regular high-standard maintenance, and adherence to local council regulations and fit and proper management standards. The company is also prepared to carry out refurbishments on properties to align them with its established quality benchmarks. Colony Living's operational structure supports its growth ambitions, having implemented systems to streamline its property operations.

The company manages a portfolio of HMO properties, initially developing its own holdings before expanding to address a broader market need for quality shared accommodation management. This strategic development has allowed the firm to maintain its focus on delivering a high standard of service to both its residents and landlord partners within the Swansea area.
