Lettings and property management
Letting agents in Pontcanna and Canton, Cardiff
From the period conversions along Cathedral Road to the apartments in the city centre and the Bay, west and central Cardiff let quickly to professionals. The family houses in Llandaff, Radyr and Fairwater rarely stay available long either. Our Pontcanna office lets and manages across all of it.

The Pontcanna lettings patch
Cardiff City Centre
City-centre flats let faster than almost anything else we handle, to professionals and postgraduates who want to walk to work and to everything else. One and two bedroom apartments are the bulk of the stock, and the best of them go within days.

Canton
Canton has become one of Cardiff's strongest rental areas, drawing tenants priced out of Pontcanna who want the same walkability. Two and three bedroom terraces are the larger share of the stock and let quickly to young professionals and sharers. Proximity to Cowbridge Road East and the city centre does most of the selling.

Cardiff Bay
Cardiff Bay is one of the strongest apartment rental markets in Wales. Waterside one and two bedroom flats let quickly to professionals who want to walk to the centre or work in the offices around the basin, and a good share of the stock is purpose-built for renting. Demand is steady year-round rather than seasonal.

Pontcanna
Pontcanna's rental market is dominated by professionals and couples who want the area's character without buying into it. Period conversions along Cathedral Road and the surrounding streets account for the greater part of it — high ceilings, original features, and usually a share of a garden. Family houses to let come up rarely and go quickly, often before they reach a portal. Expect competition, and expect to move fast.

Ely
Ely is among the better value places in Cardiff to rent a house with a garden, and it lets steadily to families for that reason. Three bedroom houses are nearly all of what comes up, and the combination of space, parking and the run into the city keeps demand consistent.

Grangetown
Grangetown lets quickly and to a wide range of tenants — professionals working in the Bay, sharers who want to be near the centre, and families. Two and three bedroom terraces make up the greater part of the stock, and the walk to both the Bay and the city keeps demand well ahead of what comes available.

Riverside
Riverside lets to people who want to walk into the centre in ten minutes and pay less than the centre asks. Flats and two and three bedroom terraces are what the market consists of, and demand from professionals and postgraduates keeps void periods short.

Caerau
Caerau lets to families, almost entirely, and the draw is a house with a garden and off-street parking at a rent that is hard to match this close to the city. Supply is thin because people stay; when something does come up it goes quickly and rarely reaches a portal twice.
Tenants waiting, nothing to let
Fairwater
Fairwater lets steadily to families who want a house and a garden without paying Llandaff prices for it. Three bedroom houses account for most of what lets, and the schools and the run into the city keep demand consistent through the year.
Tenants waiting, nothing to let
Llandaff
Llandaff attracts tenants who want somewhere quieter and greener than Pontcanna without giving up the walk into the city, and rents sit accordingly. Family houses are the strongest part of the market, helped by the schools and the Cardiff Met campus, and supply is consistently tight.
Tenants waiting, nothing to let
Llandaff North
Llandaff North is one of the better value places to rent close to the centre of Cardiff, and it lets quickly for that reason — professionals and young families in roughly equal number. Two and three bedroom terraces are most of what comes available.
Tenants waiting, nothing to let
Pentyrch and St Fagans
Very little comes up to rent out here, and what does tends to be a family house rather than a flat. Tenants are usually families who want village life within reach of Cardiff, and properties are taken quickly when they appear.
Tenants waiting, nothing to let
Radyr
Radyr lets to families almost exclusively, and the schools and the station do the selling. Supply is limited — most of the housing is owner-occupied — so good family houses are taken quickly and rents sit at the upper end for the area.

Letting in Wales
The rules a Welsh landlord lets under
Occupation contracts, not tenancies
Under the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016 a tenant is a contract-holder, and the landlord must give a written statement of the occupation contract within 14 days of the move-in. We prepare it and serve it.
Rent Smart Wales
Every landlord with a property in Wales must register with Rent Smart Wales. A landlord who manages the let themselves must also hold a licence; when a licensed agent manages it, the landlord registers but does not need a licence of their own. Ours is LR-24001-14159.
Fit for human habitation
Mains-wired, interlinked smoke alarms on every floor, carbon monoxide alarms beside any gas, oil or solid-fuel appliance, an electrical safety report at least every five years, and a home free of serious hazards are part of every contract. On the properties we manage, we track every certificate and book the renewals.
Notice rules
A no-fault notice (section 173) cannot be given in the first six months of occupation and gives the contract-holder six months to leave, so planning ahead matters more than it does in England.
A summary, not legal advice. Our Pontcanna team will tell you what applies to your property.

Asked and answered
Common questions
Do you manage rental property in Pontcanna?
Yes. Our Pontcanna office at 223–225 Cathedral Road, Pontcanna, Cardiff, CF11 9PP lets and manages property across Cardiff City Centre, Canton, Cardiff Bay, Pontcanna, Ely and Grangetown. Landlords choose let only, where we find and reference the tenant, or full management, where we also collect the rent, inspect and arrange repairs.
How much rent could my property get?
The median asking rent across the 16 homes our Pontcanna office has to let right now is £1,038 a month. That is our own stock rather than the whole market, and your property is not the median — a free rental valuation tells you what it should achieve, from the lets we are agreeing in the same streets.
Do I need a Rent Smart Wales licence if you manage my property?
You still need to register as a landlord with Rent Smart Wales, but when a licensed agent carries out the letting and management, you do not need a licence of your own. Our Rent Smart Wales licence number is LR-24001-14159.
Can I switch to you from another agent?
Yes, including part way through a tenancy. We handle the handover of keys, certificates and the deposit, and speak to your tenant so you do not have to.
How do I contact the Pontcanna lettings team?
Call 029 2049 9680, or book a rental valuation online and we will call you back the same working day.
