About student storage in Plasnewydd, Cardiff
Plasnewydd is the Cardiff electoral ward that covers most of the city’s densest student rental area. Locally most residents call it Roath or upper Cathays, but the official ward name is Plasnewydd. It runs from City Road and Crwys Road through to Wellfield Road and the streets around Roath Pleasure Gardens. The ward has the highest student population density in Cardiff, with Victorian terraces predominating and 4 to 6 person HMO shares as the standard rental format. Cardiff University main campus is a 15-minute walk to the south.
Plasnewydd’s terraced streets have residents’ permit parking schemes during weekday daytime hours, similar to Cathays proper. UniMove collections in Plasnewydd typically run before 10am or after 4pm to work around the permit window. The Welsh Government’s tighter HMO licensing rules apply across Plasnewydd; the area remains the city’s main student-rental engine despite the controls. Tenancies tend to end in mid-July. Typical Plasnewydd HMO residents store seven to nine boxes including shared kitchen items. Combined housemate collections are common and cost-efficient.
What students usually store
- Suitcases and boxes
- Clothes and bedding

Why students choose collection and storage instead of self-storage
Traditional self-storage often means hiring a van, carrying everything yourself, and paying for more space than you need. UniMove’s student-focused collection and storage service is simpler, especially if you are leaving halls, sharing transport with housemates, or heading home for summer.
