Summary - ADMIRAL HOUSE, 38 - 42 14 NEWPORT ROAD CARDIFF CF24 0DH
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Ideal buy to let close to university and fast transport links.
Chain free, immediate vacant possession possible
This compact first-floor apartment in Admiral House offers straightforward city-centre living with immediate occupation possible thanks to being chain free. The property includes a separate kitchen, double bedroom, bathroom and a handy storage cupboard — practical for a starter home or rental unit. A 24-hour concierge adds an element of on-site management and daytime security presence.
The flat totals about 410 sq ft and sits within a modern block built in the mid-2000s. Heating is electric via room heaters and glazing is double, though installation dates are unknown. The unit is leasehold, so incoming buyers should check remaining term and service charges before committing. Council Tax sits at Band E, which is above average for similar-sized properties.
Location is a clear strength: immediate access to shops, cafes, university facilities and transport links makes the apartment attractive to students and short-term renters. However, the surrounding area records very high crime and high deprivation levels; this may affect rentability, tenant choice, insurance costs and long-term capital growth. The apartment is best suited to investors targeting the student/central-rental market or buyers seeking a well-located pied-à-terre who understand the trade-offs.
Overall, the property is a compact, low-maintenance city flat with clear rental potential but notable socio-economic and safety challenges. Buyers should budget for potential improvements to heating and check lease details, service charges and local safety measures prior to purchase.
