What the admissions data actually guarantees
A house advertised as in catchment may not be next year. The local council publishes last year's furthest distance offered for each school. Ask for that figure in writing before you offer.
Ratings age too. Read the current report rather than the agent's summary of it.

| Who it suits | Out of five | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Families | ★★★★☆ | Estyn-inspected primaries and the Welsh-medium/bilingual secondary Ysgol Bro Dinefwr, with the Tywi Valley all around, check catchment and note the nearest full A&E is at Glangwili. |
| Lifestyle & downsizers | ★★★★★ | One of the prettiest small towns in Wales, a colourful Georgian high street, independent food and galleries, and Dinefwr on the doorstep; a genuine quality-of-life move. |
| Second-home & lifestyle buyers | ★★★★☆ | The looks, the foodie reputation and the National Trust estate make Llandeilo a genuine draw, though it is one of the dearer towns in the county. |
| First-time buyers | ★★★☆☆ | Smaller terraces and flats offer accessible ways in, but Llandeilo is one of the more expensive towns in Carmarthenshire, so budgets stretch further in the neighbouring valley towns. |
| Property developers & investors | ★★★☆☆ | Sought-after character stock and steady demand support values, but the entry price is higher and yields tighter than the cheaper valley towns nearby. |
