What is advertised

27 flats, by bedroom count

Asking rents as advertised on 7 September. These are what landlords are asking, not what tenants have agreed to pay. "Where they cluster" is the middle half of the asking rents for that bedroom count — a quarter of the adverts sit above it and a quarter below.

TypeAdvertisedAsking range (pcm)Where they clusterCut & still advertised
1-bed6£1,100–£1,300£1,100–£1,2002
2-bed20£1,200–£1,850£1,300–£1,4003
3-bed1£2,1501

6 of the 27 adverts have cut their asking rent at least once and are still advertised. The cluster is shown from four adverts; a single figure means every advert of that type is asked at the same rent.

How long flats are sitting

10 of 27 have been advertised six weeks or more

The oldest is a two-bedroom that names Altolusso at £1,850, advertised since 12 November 2025 — 42 weeks, cut once. One more advert reaches six weeks in the week of 14 September unless it lets first.

Under 3 weeks: 143 to 6 weeks: 36 weeks or more: 10

Of the 10 adverts on this street that are six weeks old or more, 4 name Altolusso.

A flat that disappears from the portals has usually let, but not always: it may have been withdrawn or re-listed with another agent. We record it as gone and say when we are unsure. Across CF10 and CF11, 19 flats stopped being advertised in the same seven days; the median had been advertised 5 weeks, and 10 of the 19 had cut their asking rent first.

Since we started counting

Altolusso, week by week

Flats advertised, and how many of them had been advertised six weeks or more, on each Monday count. One point is added a week; the series starts with the 7 September 2026 count.

Counts before 7 September 2026 were made on a narrower basis and are not shown; the register that produces this page was completed on 6 September 2026, so this is the first comparable point.

The read

Three things the count says, 7 September 2026

  1. Twenty two-bedrooms are advertised on this street at once, asked at £1,200 to £1,850. The middle half sit between £1,300 and £1,400.
  2. Six of the 27 adverts have cut their asking rent and are still advertised. The oldest, a two-bedroom naming Altolusso at £1,850, has been advertised since 12 November 2025 — 42 weeks.
  3. Three flats on the street stopped being advertised in the seven days to 7 September, all within five weeks of listing and all at £1,350 or under. Six new adverts appeared in the same week.

Who is advertising

14 letting agents and 5 landlords letting directly

Counted across every advert in this count. One agent has four adverts on this street live at once.

When several agents advertise in one block at once, each is pricing without seeing the others' results, which is usually why the same specification is asked at very different rents in the same week. We name blocks, never flats, and we don't publish which agent holds which flat.

Whole flats advertised to let on Monday 7 September 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. Street rows count every advert on the street; building rows count only adverts naming the building. Fewer than 3 adverts and no figures are shown.

How this page is made

How we count

Where the figures come from. Every Monday we read every advert for a whole flat to let in CF10 and CF11 on the main portals 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. The register is checked daily, so an advert that is re-posted does not reset its clock. On 7 September it held 259 live adverts (149 in CF10, 110 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 building figure counts only adverts naming that building; everything else is a street figure, and the two are never mixed. Where a page is for a street, the count of adverts naming the building is shown separately.

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.
