Compact, long-lease flat with parking near shops and transport links.
Juliette balcony with water views
This compact two-bedroom, second-floor apartment in Cardiff Bay offers an affordable entry into the area or a straightforward rental purchase. The living room opens onto a Juliette balcony with water views and the flat includes an allocated parking space plus visitor bays — useful extras in a city location. The long lease (964 years) reduces long-term leasehold risk and the property is offered chain free for a faster move.
Practical running costs and features: electric storage heating, double glazing and a service charge of around £1,440 a year. The flat measures about 517 sq ft, so it suits a first-time buyer, single occupant or investor seeking a compact let near transport and local amenities. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and there is a communal garden surrounding the block.
Be aware of material considerations: the building sits in an area recorded as very deprived with a very high local crime rate, which could affect resale or rental demand. Heating is electric storage heaters (no gas) and the service charge and small ground rent (£60) are ongoing costs to factor in. The apartment is modest in size and will suit buyers comfortable with compact living rather than those requiring larger rooms or extensive storage.
Overall this is a practical, low-commitment option for someone seeking an affordable foothold in Cardiff Bay — strong location benefits and long lease versus the trade-offs of size, running costs and neighbourhood challenges.
