Most Affordable Areas in Cardiff

Following the end of the first lockdown, property prices in the UK and elsewhere in Europe have enjoyed a spike, following repressed demand from buyers and a desire for more outside space.

Going against this trend somewhat is Cardiff. Zoopla has reported that seven of the nine postcodes in Cardiff have property prices in September 2020 which are less than in 2019. That’s said, Zoopla also reported in November 2020 that the average property price of £253,000 in Cardiff had shown a rise from September 2020.

Therefore we have prepared this article to show you where the most affordable areas are in Cardiff right now.

1. Ely

The average cost here is only £125,000, less than half of the city average. It is close to the city centre and is said to have a community feel to it.

2. Caerau

Next on the list comes Caerau with an average property price of only £130,000.  Caerau Fort is right in the middle of this area, which is an old Roman fort (Caerau is actually the Roman word for ‘fort’). This area also contains Trelai Park.

3. Adamsdown

This area comes in next with an average property price of £139,000. Again this is close to the city centre so may be good for buy to let. It is also close to parks so good for families.

4. Pentwyn

The average cost of a property in Pentwyn is £140,000. It has one of the largest leisure centres in Cardiff and close to Cardiff Golf Course. It also has various parks close by.
