A Prime Roath Location

Bedford Street enjoys a highly desirable position within Roath, one of Cardiff’s most consistently popular rental areas. The location places tenants within easy reach of Cardiff city centre, Cardiff University, the University Hospital of Wales and an excellent range of local amenities.

Albany Road, City Road and Wellfield Road are all nearby, offering a huge selection of cafés, restaurants, independent retailers, supermarkets and everyday conveniences. The area is exceptionally well connected with regular public transport links and excellent access into the city centre.

Demand for quality rental accommodation within Roath continues to remain strong year after year, particularly for modern apartments offering low-maintenance living close to the city.

For investors, the location offers confidence in long-term tenant demand and continued rental resilience.

Fully Let and Producing Immediate Income

The property is fully occupied and currently producing a combined rental income exceeding £42,600 per annum, creating a strong and reliable income stream from completion.

The mix of apartment sizes provides diversification within the investment itself, helping attract a broader tenant base while reducing void risk.

With separate utility supplies already in place for each apartment, the building has been configured with practical day-to-day management in mind. This setup also offers clarity for tenants and ease for landlords overseeing the property.

The building additionally benefits from a sprinkler system installation, an increasingly important feature for investors seeking reassurance and modern compliance considerations within multi-occupancy buildings.
