Selling Services
[H1] Property valuation in Cardiff
An accurate valuation is the foundation of every successful sale or
investment decision. As Cardiff HMO and property specialists, we value
on what the market will actually pay - and, for HMOs, on the rental
income and yield your property delivers.
Get my free valuation The basics
[H2] More than a number - a strategy
A valuation tells you what a willing buyer would pay today, backed by
real evidence rather than guesswork. Price too high and the property
stalls and loses appeal; price too low and you leave money on the
table. For an HMO, value isn't only about the building - it's about
the income it produces, which is why we look at achievable rent and
yield alongside comparable sales.
Two ways to value
[H2] Instant vs in-person valuation
Both have their place. An instant estimate is a quick steer; an in-person valuation is the figure you market on - especially for HMOs. Instant
[H3] Online estimate
A desktop figure generated from sold-price data and local trends - no visit required. SpeedMinutes AccuracyIndicative ballpark HMO incomeNot assessed Best forAn early, no-pressure steer on rough value In-person
[H3] On-site valuation
A specialist visits, assesses condition, layout and licensing, and prices on real evidence. SpeedBooked appointment AccuracyMarket-ready figure HMO incomeRent & yield factored in Best forSelling, refinancing or valuing an HMO Recommended for a figure you can act on The drivers
[H2] What affects your valuation
No two properties value the same. These are the factors we weigh - and for HMOs, income potential carries real weight alongside the rest.
[H3] Location
The street, postcode and proximity to universities, transport and amenities. In Cardiff, areas like Cathays and Roath carry strong demand from students and professionals.
[H3] Condition
Up-to-date kitchens, bathrooms, heating and decor lift value; outstanding repairs, damp or dated finishes pull it back.
[H3] Size & layout
Floor area, room count and how usable the space is. For HMOs, the number of lettable bedrooms and shared facilities matters most.
[H3] Local demand
How many buyers or tenants are competing right now. Tight supply and high interest push the achievable figure upward.
[H3] Comparable sales
What genuinely similar properties nearby have recently sold for - the anchor point for any credible valuation.
[H3] HMO income potential
For a licensed HMO, the rental income and gross yield it produces is central. A well-let house can be worth more than its bricks alone. How we value
[H2] Evidence first, optimism never
We combine local market research with detailed analysis so your figure stands up - to buyers, lenders and yourself.
[H3] Recent sold data
We analyse genuinely comparable sales and current listings across the postcode, not just optimistic asking prices.
[H3] On-site assessment
We look at condition, layout, presentation and the things photos never show - for HMOs, room count and licensing too.
[H3] Income & yield view
Where it's a let or HMO, we factor in achievable rent and gross yield so investors see the true value, not just the sale price.
[H3] A range, with rationale
You get an indicative value range and the reasoning behind it - plus where small improvements could move the figure. Why you're valuing
[H2] Whatever your next move
Selling, letting or reviewing a portfolio - the right valuation depends on what you're trying to achieve.
[H3] Selling
Price it right from day one to attract serious offers and avoid the slow, value-eroding reductions that follow an over-ambitious launch.
[H3] Letting & HMO
Understand both the capital value and the rental income an HMO can achieve, so you can judge yield and refinancing potential.
[H3] Portfolio review
Landlords and developers managing several properties get a clear read on performance and where value can be added.

Renting Services
[H1] Book a rent review
Wondering whether the rent on your let still reflects the Cardiff
market? We'll assess your property against genuine local evidence and
advise on a fair figure - done properly and fully compliant with the
Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016.
Book my rent review For landlords
[H2] A fair rent, the right way
Your rent should reflect today's market - but in Wales, how and when
you change it is set out in law. A rent review is the calm,
evidence-led way to get there: we look at what comparable homes are
actually achieving, weigh the condition of your property, and make
sure any increase follows the correct route. No pressure, no jargon,
and no figures plucked from thin air.
Know the rules
[H2] Rent increases in Wales: the ledger
On a periodic standard contract, the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016
sets out exactly how rent can be increased. Here are the rules, set
down plainly.
Ref The rule What it requires Rule 01 Prescribed notice Rent increases on a periodic standard contract must be served on the correct prescribed form. An informal letter or message isn't enough. Section 104 rent-variation notice Rule 02 Notice period The contract-holder must be given a minimum of two months' notice before the new rent takes effect, so they have time to plan or respond. At least 2 months Rule 03 Frequency Under the statutory route you can normally only raise the rent once in any twelve months - repeated increases inside that window aren't permitted. Generally once in any 12-month period Rule 04 Method If the occupation contract sets out its own rent-review method, that governs. Where it doesn't, the Section 104 prescribed-notice route applies. As set by the contract - otherwise the statutory route
Where the occupation contract sets out its own rent-review method,
that method applies instead of the statutory route above.
The assessment
[H2] What a rent review looks at
A fair rent reflects the real world - the market, the home and the demand around it. Here's what we weigh up.
[H3] The genuine local market
What comparable homes are actually achieving across Cardiff right now - not a headline figure or a guess.
[H3] Condition & improvements
Upgrades, refurbishment and the standard of the home all shape a fair, sustainable rent.
[H3] Demand
How sought-after the area and property type are, and how quickly similar homes are being let.
[H3] Comparable lettings
Recent, like-for-like lets nearby give the clearest evidence for a defensible figure.
[H3] Costs
Your running costs and obligations as a landlord, kept in view so the rent stays viable as well as fair. Simple & supportive
[H2] How our rent review works
Four straightforward steps, on your timetable - with a clear recommendation at the end and no obligation to act. 01
[H3] Tell us about the property
Share the address, type and current rent. It takes a couple of minutes and there's no obligation. 02
[H3] We assess the evidence
We compare your home against genuine local lettings, demand and its condition to find a fair market figure. 03
[H3] We advise on compliance
We confirm the correct route - your contract's own method, or the Section 104 prescribed notice with at least two months' notice. 04
[H3] You decide, in your time
You receive a clear, qualitative recommendation. If you'd like, we handle the notice and the conversation for you. Staying compliant
[H2] A review that keeps you on the right side of the rules
A rent review isn't just about the figure - it sits within your wider obligations as a landlord in Wales.
[H3] Fitness for Human Habitation
A rent review goes hand in hand with keeping the home fit to live in - it's a condition of letting, not an optional extra.
[H3] Rent Smart Wales
Staying registered and licensed with Rent Smart Wales keeps your let lawful and your rent review on solid ground.
[H3] Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016
In force since 1 December 2022, this is the framework that governs occupation contracts and rent variation in Wales.
