Catchment is not a promise
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 | ★★★★★ | An affordable town with the modern all-through Estyn-inspected Welsh-medium Ysgol Bro Teifi (3 to 19), the river and the valley, weigh the drive to the nearest A&E at Glangwili and check river flood risk near the Teifi. |
| Downsizers & retirees | ★★★★☆ | A characterful, affordable and friendly small town with independent shops and the river, weigh the distance to the nearest A&E and that a car is essential here. |
| River & country lovers | ★★★★★ | The River Teifi, coracles, salmon and sewin fishing, and top white-water canoeing with the Llandysul Paddlers, and the green Teifi valley on the doorstep; among the best of rural west Wales for the outdoors. |
| First-time buyers | ★★★★☆ | One of the more affordable towns in the area, terraces and cottages offer genuine ways in, and many homes fall below the £225,000 Welsh LTT threshold; a car is essential. |
| Commuters | ★☆☆☆☆ | Llandysul has no railway and the nearest station and A&E are a drive away, it suits those working locally, across the area or remotely, not a daily city commute. |
