Butetown property market: common questions
Where is Butetown?
Butetown is about 2 miles south of central Cardiff, in South Glamorgan. Figures for Butetown cover listings within about 1 km of its centre (the dashed ring on the map), not an official boundary.
What is the average house price in Butetown?
The median asking price across the 230 homes for sale in Butetown is £189,950 (as of 4 October 2026). We quote the median (the middle listing) rather than a mean, because a handful of very expensive homes would pull a mean upwards. Half of listings ask between £150,000 and £239,950. That is 30% below Cardiff. Homes that actually sold in Butetown went for a median £190,000 (Land Registry, 12 months to January 2026).
Are house prices in Butetown rising or falling?
Rising. Based on HM Land Registry completed sales, the median sold price in Butetown is up 25% over the last 10 years and up 3% over the last 12 months (12 months to January 2026). These medians compare the homes that happened to sell in each window, so they mix price movement with changes in what sold.
Is Butetown cheaper than Cardiff?
Yes: asking prices in Butetown are typically lower than across Cardiff. The median asking price in Butetown is £189,950 against £270k across Cardiff: 30% below Cardiff.

How much do flats and houses cost in Butetown?
The median asking price for a flat in Butetown is £179,975. Houses are quoted by type rather than as one figure, because the mix moves the number more than the market does: the largest group on the market is terraced houses, at a median £315,000 across 19 listings. The Prices by property type chart on this page covers every type we track.
How much is a two-bedroom flat in Butetown?

How these numbers are made
- Asking figures: Current listings we track across estate agents and portals (230 in Butetown), refreshed daily, as of 4 October 2026. We quote medians, never means, and suppress anything based on fewer than 5 listings. Figures for Butetown cover listings within about 1 km of its centre (the dashed ring on the map), not an official boundary.
- Off market and time listed: Off-market counts include only listings confirmed off the market after a short grace period; "typical time listed" is time advertised, not time to sell. We have tracked Butetown since May 2026.
- Cardiff comparisons: The same daily snapshot taken across the whole of Cardiff, so both sides of every comparison share one basis. Where a comparison spans all property types, some of the gap reflects what is for sale here.
- Sold figures: HM Land Registry price paid data. Sold prices and sales counts cover the 12 months to January 2026; sold price per square foot covers the 12 months to July 2026, with floor areas from EPC certificates (the two run on different pipelines, and the latest months are left out while sales are still being registered). England and Wales; new-builds and non-standard transactions excluded.
