What’s the housing climate like at the moment? The residential property market in Cardiff appears to be going from 32
strength to strength concerning both the selling and letting of property. Interest rates are still low and it would appear that this will carry on for the foreseeable future. Also the major lenders are offering funds to a lot more buyers. There is definitely a feel-good factor in the residential property market that does not appear to be changing. What do you love about Cardiff? I’m a born and bred Cardiffian, and proud of it. Cardiff is a vibrant, cosmopolitan place to live in; easy for commuting, shopping, relaxing with all the facilities of the city centre, Cardiff Bay and its surrounding countryside. There are few cities in the UK that can offer an international airport on its door step, national railway coverage, two superb sports stadia, together with an abundance of shops, eating places, universities and recreation facilities. I believe we are rather spoilt, but I do enjoy making the most of it.
