A buying agents guide to Wales: Across the River Severn Bridge and into Wales, the premium country property market is relatively undersubscribed and the comparative value for money is eye-opening. This price differential is widened as the values increase and real opportunity can be found in the country house and larger land holding markets.
These property markets hold hidden treasures; architecturally impressive property that herald the rich culture of Wales and its importance to our national industrial and agricultural history.
Accessibility by road and rail makes South Wales significantly more accessible than other scenic UK destinations. Direct train services from Swansea (2 hours 45 minutes), Cardiff, and Newport (1 hour 36 minutes) to London Paddington makes South Wales a viable principal residence choice.
The M4 serves as the main road artery, providing a direct road links from the South East of England. It allows for same-day travel for meetings in Bristol, Swindon, or Newbury. Private airport connections are available in south and west coastal areas

Wales Highlights
Schooling – Independent schools with good academic and sporting reputations are available throughout the region with noted popular schools in Cardiff, Brecon, Llandovery and Llanelli.
Property – Wales has something to offer across all common (and uncommon) categories of property, from productive agriculture, to Georgian townhouses in boutique market towns to coastal residences in the popular historic towns of Tenby and Mumbles, Swansea.
Landscapes – South Wales is known for its diverse and dramatic landscapes, from coastal areas like the Gower Peninsula to the Brecon Beacons National Park, ideal for nature lovers.
Seaside Living – Coastal towns and villages in South Wales offer the charm of seaside living, often at a fraction of the cost of similar locations in England.
I've been very fortunate in Wales; a further education, an entrepreneurial environment to apply my profession, a quiet corner of the Brecon Beacons to call home and a safe and friendly place for my daughter to learn and find her way. This is a deep rooted culture with traditions that still have a place in day to day life and a sense of community as strong as what you might hope to find in any part of the UK. Wales can help you reach your ambitions, whether that is property or land ownership, running a full time leisure business or a supplemental lifestyle business that can be run from an internet connection. The opportunities are endless. It has clicked for us and I'm sure it will for many more who make this move over the next ten years. Diolch Cymru.
