About Us

Urban Bricks Properties strives to provide the best possible service to each and every customer. As Cardiff’s largest specialist bilingual student letting agent, we aim to provide landlords and vendors with unrivalled marketing exposure of their property and a proactive service that is of a higher standard than any other available in Cardiff.

Urban Bricks Properties is unique, with our branch in China and our Chinese speaking staff we are able to provide an unrivalled service for landlords and international students.

Chinese students and parents can rest easy in the confidence that their home away from home is here, with full contactability using WeChat and conventional manners.

Local students are also catered for using our experienced team with over 30 years of letting experience in Cardiff.

We have gained accreditations and memberships with industry-recognised regularly bodies such as Rent Smart Wales and Landlord Accreditation Wales, meaning landlords and tenants can be safe in the knowledge that the way we work is tried, tested and in accordance with subscribed codes of practices.

We realise that times are changing and the typical 9-5 hours are in the past. Customers now want to be able to make contact or have access to important information at any time of the day or night, which we can accommodate through our email and We Chat messaging systems. Our finger is continually on the pulse when it comes to the latest technology and online marketing.
