🖤 WELCOMING A NEW HOUSEMATE 🖤

📍Stunning Gwydr Crescent - Professional house (some rooms still available) 

It’s been a funny couple of months in the rental market, we know other agents have felt the same too. 

So it’s always an achievement to fill a room. A huge amount of work and energy goes into finding, selecting and onboarding a housemate, so it’s always a great feeling to see them move in and start their Colony journey! 🐜

🫡 Happy Friday all - Have an awesome weekend!
