The Property History

The home was an attractive two bedroom semi-detached situated in the Y Gorlan development within the village of Llanilar, approximately six miles south of Aberystwyth. It had been maintained to a very high standard and offered entrance hall, lounge, kitchen, two double bedrooms, bathroom, drive, front and rear garden with workshop thrown in!

What We Did

When the owners came to us wanting to sell, we had already seen it on the market with another agent and wondered why it hadn't been snapped up already! We were surprised to hear that they had no viewings despite it being on the market for a month. The owners had found somewhere and were desperate to sell so that they could upsize. The day Mr N called us, our photographer amended her diary and went over the same day.

As we thought, the house photographed lovely despite having two young children! A real effort was made and the property was immaculate for the photographers arrival.

The property was perfect for first time buyers and while Rhian was on her way to the property, she had already contacted her colleague in sales who was searching through our database of buyers who were looking for something like Y Gorlan.

After attending the property, we placed the property on our social media pages and it gained a range of interest.
It is so important to market a property with enticing photography, correct details and most importantly in front of the right target audience!



The Result

Just as we thought, the property sold to first time buyers! It was the perfect match! The sale went through smoothly with no hiccups and Mr and Mrs N were able to proceed to their dream home and was able to upsize like they originally planned!

Choosing a new home isn’t just about the property itself – the neighbourhood plays a huge role in your quality of life. From schools and transport links to local shops and community spirit, here’s what to look out for when deciding if an area is right for you.

As we head into the final months of 2025, the Aberystwyth property market continues to hold steady despite wider economic uncertainty across the UK.

If you’re thinking about selling your home or buying a new one, one of the first questions that comes to mind is: how long does the moving process actually take? The answer can vary widely depending on your circumstances, but understanding the typical timeline will help you plan ahead, reduce stress, and know what to expect along the way.

If your home has been sitting on the market with no progress, you’re not stuck. Switching estate agents is easier than you think, if you understand your contract and prepare properly. Here’s the truth, the timelines and the process to relaunch with impact.
