Jan and Chris are both originally from Cardiff and have spent most of their lives living and working in Wales as well as working abroad in Canada and Saudi Arabia.

Before entering the property market Jan had a rewarding career in education, initially as a primary school teacher, before eventually completing her Masters in Education and becoming a PGCE lecturer at Cardiff University. While in Saudi Arabia Jan greatly enjoyed setting up and running her own primary school.

Prior to renovating and letting houses in Cardiff city centre Chris worked as a civil engineer in the construction and site management of large-scale civic and commercial buildings including the project management of hospitals for the Saudi Arabian Ministry of Health and the Dartford Tunnel Shopping Complex.

Jan and Chris have now spent over 20 years letting rooms in young professional and postgraduate houseshare properties. In total they have renovated 10 houses and built a wealth of experience in the management of properties and the needs of tenants.

They belong to the Guild of Residential Landlords and take an active interest in new housing legislation. They are registered with Rent Smart Wales which identifies landlords who are competent and professional in their dealings with their properties and tenants, and their houses are licenced by Cardiff Council as proof that their properties meet strict standards in terms of management, quality, amenities, fire safety, security and thermal insulation.

When not managing their properties Jan and Chris enjoy travelling and are especially keen on nature and countryside walking. They love the Welsh landscape and frequently visit Tenerife for its beautiful scenery, warm climate and excellent coastal and mountain walks.
