What a bloody ridiculous, patronising and uninformed comment. Why wouldn't someone in Wales be able to afford it?
Yes Barry is a shithole but it's near to Cardiff and with that house you're paying for the sea view, if it was in Penarth you'd be paying at least another 500k. There are loads of areas of Cardiff and surrounding villages, Cowbridge and Vale of Glamorgan, areas of Monmouthshire and Pembrokeshire for example where housing is expensive but houses sells quickly because people can afford it. Cardiff is a modern capital city like any other and professionals working there are paid accordingly. I don't know if you've ever been to Wales but we don't all live in tiny houses up the valleys and get paid minimum wage you know.
