Live data for each property type across Cardiff.
CF10 attracts property investors seeking strong rental yields in Cardiff's core urban areas. The 7.4% average gross yield, combined with asking prices averaging £179,000, offers accessible entry points for portfolio builders looking at Wales' capital city.
The tenant demographic is predominantly young professionals and students, with particularly strong demand for 2-bedroom properties (8.6% yield). This landlord's market provides reliable occupancy rates, though investors should expect tenant turnover typical of city-centre locations catering to career-starters and university populations.
Investors should carefully assess individual property condition and management requirements, as older Victorian and Edwardian housing stock predominates in these postcodes. Proximity to universities and employment hubs supports demand, but planning restrictions and council policies in central Cardiff warrant thorough due diligence on any potential development or refurbishment plans.
