Caerphilly is a fairly large town on the outskirts of Cardiff. The property to rent in this area varies from apartment blocks to executive style properties and everything in between.

Letting agents in Caerphilly tend to deal with all aspects of this market and offer landlord services that match all rental property needs.

Generally the market for agents in this area is dominated by estate agents who run a separate department that deals with letting services. There are many pure letting agents based around the outskirts of Caerphilly and in Cardiff that cover the area. These are the types of agents that are worth looking at first as generally the levels of letting services for landlords in Caerphilly they offer will be far greater value than local estate agents who tend to predominantly concentrate on the sale of property as their core business. The letting departments tend to play second fiddle to this main income stream.

It is always worth asking any agent in Caerphilly what expertise they have, do they specialise in any type of property to rent. Generally this is not the case and the letting services in Caerphilly tends to be generally family lets. There are obviously the smaller professional couple type property although any letting agent dealing with family lets will comfortably deal with this market too.

Most of the letting agents in this area are based in the town centre itself although smaller offices can be found in the valley leading to Caerphilly. Further into these valleys you tend to find the more typical South Wales terraced property to rent. Again this will require a simular letting service as with the other types discussed earlier.

I would always suggest asking the letting agent your talking to shows examples of other rental properties in the area they have dealt with which are similar to your own. This shows that the agent has experience of offering the letting services for landlords that you require.

It is also worthwhile talking to the letting agent prior to purchasing any property to rent in Caerphilly. Try an independent agent instead of an estate agent whom is involved in the selling of property. They will give you more accurate and unbiased advise on which rental properties are more likely to achieve higher occupancy and rental incomes. While you’re there you can also ask about the letting services for landlords in Caerphilly that they offer.
