Every day we read every flat advertised to let in Cardiff Bay and the city centre on the main portals, and every Monday we publish it one block at a time: what is advertised, what it is being asked at, how long it has been sitting, and how the block compares with its neighbours.
Pick your building. Each page carries the same count, the same rules and a week-by-week series. A block shows figures from three adverts; below that it is counted but not reported.

Whole flats advertised to let on Monday 12 October 2026, from our own register of every CF10 and CF11 advert on the main portals. Asking rents, not achieved rents. Build-to-rent blocks, rooms, student houses and serviced flats are excluded. "6+ weeks" counts adverts live six weeks or more by the earliest date any portal or previous count has shown. Each block is counted from the adverts that name it, plus adverts on a street that belongs to that block alone. Fewer than 3 adverts and no figures are shown.
These blocks are in the count. The first group had fewer than three adverts on 12 October, so no figures are shown; a page appears with figures the week there are three. The second group is let by a single operator — no individually-owned flats, so no landlord market to report — and is left out of every figure on these pages.

Streets of converted houses — Cathedral Road, Penarth Road, Ferry Road, Taff Embankment and the like — are counted in the CF10 and CF11 totals above but are not blocks and have no page.
The same count as a one-page monthly email: Bay headline, block table, what stopped being advertised and at what asking rent. Free. Tick the box on the Block Check form and it comes to you; leave it unticked and you still get your answer.

Where the figures come from. Every day we read every advert for a whole flat to let in CF10 and CF11 on Rightmove, Zoopla and OnTheMarket, with OpenRent as a supplement, and record it in our own register: the block, the bedroom count, the asking rent, whether it has been reduced, and the earliest date it appeared. A flat advertised on more than one portal is counted once. Because the register is checked daily, an advert that is re-posted does not reset its clock. An advert we have not seen on any portal for seven days is no longer counted. On 12 October it held 433 live adverts (253 in CF10, 180 in CF11). Adverts that appear only on OpenRent carry a minimum age, because that site does not date them.
Counted at the level the advert names. An advert may name a building, name a different building on the same street, or name none. A block figure counts the adverts that name that block, plus adverts on a street that belongs to the block alone (every flat on Falcon Drive is Celestia; an unnamed Bute Terrace advert is Altolusso). Where a street carries more than one block, an unnamed advert is shown separately and never assigned. Streets of converted houses are counted in the CF10 and CF11 totals but are not blocks.
Asking rents, not achieved rents. Every rent on this page is what was advertised. "Where they cluster" is the middle half of the asking rents for a bedroom count, shown from four adverts. Flats that disappear from the portals are recorded as gone, with the last asking rent and how long they were advertised; we say when we can't tell whether a flat let or was withdrawn.
Blocks, never flats. Nothing here identifies an individual flat, its landlord or its agent, and a block with fewer than 3 adverts shows no figures. Build-to-rent blocks, rooms, student houses and serviced apartments are left out, because none of them is an individually-owned flat.
Our figures, not the portals' content. The count is our own work, made by reading. We reproduce no listing, photograph or text from any portal and link to none of it.
Corrections in public. If you think a figure is wrong, email hello@cardiffmodernliving.co.uk and we will correct it here, with a date.
