Renting in Cardiff
Due to a large student population in Cardiff, there are plenty of rental properties available, ranging from small flats, to large 5 bedroom houses in some of the outer suburbs. Rental costs can vary depending on property size, location and quality. Due to the recent development boom, Cardiff Bay also has lots of rental property available, at quite reasonable prices for a city-centre waterfront location. Cardiff has a range of Estate agencies who can help with finding a rental property and will advise on a location to suit you.
Buying in Cardiff
The Cardiff city-region enjoys a healthy residential market, which comes from its varied mix of purchasers, to include young families moving to a cosmopolitan city near the countryside, retirees looking to downsize, second homeowners, investors looking to benefit from an expanding rental sector and student parent investors.
Despite being one of the more expensive residential locations within South Wales, behind only Monmouth and Vale of Glamorgan, the average all property price in Cardiff is still substantially lower than England and Wales as a whole.
