Compare Estate Agents FreeThe CF23 property market hosts a mix of traditional high-street estate agents and newer online-only firms, each offering distinct advantages. Traditional agents like Kelvin Francis and Jeffrey Ross provide face-to-face valuations, dedicated property viewings, and local office presence in Roath and Cardiff city centre. Their experienced staff understand the nuances of selling period terraced homes versus modern flats and can advise on everything from presentation to legal requirements.
We find that online agents typically charge fixed fees ranging from £999 to £1,999, which can appear more affordable than the percentage-based fees charged by high-street agents, typically 1-3% plus VAT. However, the average property in CF23 sells for £408,917, meaning a traditional agent charging 1.5% plus VAT would charge approximately £7,162, while an online agent might charge £1,499. The savings are clear, but consider what services you're sacrificing, including professional photography, viewing feedback, and negotiation support.
Many sellers in CF23 opt for a hybrid approach, using online platforms for initial marketing while employing traditional agents for valuation expertise and negotiation. The key is understanding what each model offers and choosing based on your specific circumstances, timeline, and comfort level with managing aspects of the sale yourself. High-street agents also provide crucial local knowledge - they know which streets attract premium prices, which developments have ongoing issues, and which schools drive family buyer interest.
We recommend requesting detailed service comparisons when evaluating agents. Some online agents now offer tiered packages adding viewings, photography, or negotiation support, while many traditional agents are flexible on fees for the right properties. Given the current market stability with asking prices down just 1.6% from six months ago, CF23 remains a good time to sell, making agent selection even more important for achieving a quick sale at the right price.

Request free valuations from at least three different agents in CF23. We advise being wary of agents who overvalue your property to win your business, as an inflated asking price often leads to extended market times and price reductions later. Use our comparison tool to see how each agent values your property against similar homes currently on the market.
Ask about each agent's marketing approach, including their presence on Rightmove and Zoopla, social media promotion, and professional photography services. Agents like Kelvin Francis and Jeffrey Ross invest heavily in marketing to maximise exposure for their listings. Also ask about floor plans, virtual tours, and premium listing options that can make your property stand out.
Examine the sole agency agreement carefully, typically running for 8-16 weeks. We recommend understanding the notice period required to terminate and whether the contract converts to a multi-agency fee if you instruct additional agents. Some agents offer more flexible terms, particularly for properties in lower price brackets where turnover tends to be faster.
Estate agent fees are negotiable, particularly if your property is likely to sell quickly given strong demand in CF23. Don't be afraid to discuss discounts, especially if you're also purchasing through the same agent. For properties at the CF23 average of £408,917, even a 0.5% reduction saves over £2,000, so it's always worth discussing.
Before instructing any estate agent, request a detailed breakdown of their fees, including any additional costs for premium listings, floor plans, or EPCs. We find that agents with higher listing volumes often achieve better prices, so consider the total value rather than just the headline fee percentage.
The bedroom count significantly influences property values and buyer types in CF23. Our current listings show that one-bedroom flats (28 available) average £133,284, attracting first-time buyers and investors. Two-bedroom properties (159 listings) at an average of £246,684 remain popular with young couples and buy-to-let investors, representing the largest segment of the market by volume.
Three-bedroom homes dominate the CF23 market with 246 active listings averaging £354,227. These properties, typically terraced or semi-detached, appeal to growing families and represent good value compared to the national average. This segment has seen steady interest, with properties in areas like Cyncoed and Lisvane particularly popular among families looking for good schools and residential neighborhoods.
Four-bedroom properties (124 listings) command an average of £558,054, while five-bedroom homes average £874,050, targeting affluent families and those seeking premium accommodation in Cardiff's desirable suburbs. For luxury buyers, CF23 offers six and seven-bedroom properties with prices reaching over £1.3 million for the largest homes. These premium properties tend to sell through established agents with strong networks, and our data shows Hentons specifically targets this segment with an average listing price of £645,000.
We also recommend considering price trends when pricing your property. Recent data shows CF23 8ND properties are 39% up on their 2019 peak, while CF23 9HY properties have risen 14% year-on-year. This variation across different parts of the postcode means your local agent's knowledge of specific street-level trends is invaluable for accurate pricing.

Some agents, particularly online firms, offer fixed-fee packages ranging from £999-£1,999, which may suit properties at the lower end of the market. We always recommend negotiating fees, especially for properties likely to sell quickly in the current market.

This varies significantly by property type: flats average £220,371, terraced homes £322,790, semi-detached properties £453,168, and detached homes £724,094.

The data shows no clear winner between local and national - performance varies significantly by branch and individual agent.
Ask potential agents about their experience selling properties similar to yours in CF23, their marketing strategy and portal presence, their typical time-on-market, and feedback from recent clients. We recommend requesting details on their fee structure, contract terms, and what services are included. Also ask how they will conduct viewings, how quickly they provide feedback, and how they handle offers and negotiations. Don't forget to ask about their specific results in your street or neighbourhood - local knowledge can make a significant difference.
