Every home sold in the Cathays ward (within CF24 4) in the twelve months to April 2026, not only ours. The change compares each kind of home against its own kind a year earlier — detached against detached, flats against flats — because a median follows what happened to sell as much as what it is worth.

Renting in Cathays

Cathays is the busiest student lettings market in Cardiff and it runs to a strict calendar: most of the following academic year is let between November and March. Houses are typically four to six bedroom terraces, and a large proportion are licensed HMOs with the compliance that brings. Our dedicated student lettings office handles this market specifically. Professional and postgraduate demand runs year-round and favours the quieter streets towards Maindy and the civic centre.
