There is no doubt that the pandemic has contributed to a surge of people looking to move to Swansea.

And it isn’t surprising – with our beautiful parks, countryside, and beaches, and the investments being made in the city centre, Swansea is a very attractive place to be.

Over the past 12 months, we’ve seen steadily accelerating growth in average asking rents across the city, with (lack of) supply being the main driving factor. This month, though, supply is up across all property types – though not back up to pre-pandemic levels. Looking at the listings on Zoopla, this may be due to an influx of small student lets coming to market for the next academic year.
