Discover the allure of living
in Rhos-on-Sea, Wales
Rhos-on-Sea, tucked along the north coast of
Wales between Colwyn Bay and Llandudno, offers
a distinctive blend of seaside beauty, heritage and
everyday convenience. Its gently curving beach, long
promenade and open sea views create a relaxed,
uplifting atmosphere that draws walkers, joggers and
families all year round. Just inland, Bryn Euryn Nature
Reserve brings wooded trails, historic ruins and hilltop
panoramas within easy reach, making it ideal for
anyone who loves the outdoors.
The town itself retains the feel of a close-knit village.
Independent cafés, small shops and traditional pubs
line its streets, while landmarks such as St Trillo’s
Chapel — often called the smallest chapel in Britain —
and the Harlequin Puppet Theatre give it real character.
The community is welcoming and friendly, creating
a sense of safety and belonging that’s hard to find in
larger towns.
Despite its peaceful vibe, Rhos-on-Sea is practical too.
It has good local services, everyday shops and easy
access to Colwyn Bay for larger supermarkets and
facilities. This balance between small-town charm and
modern convenience makes it attractive to families,
professionals seeking a quieter pace and retirees
looking for a coastal haven.
Leisure options abound. Residents can stroll the
seafront, go kayaking or paddleboarding, or enjoy a
round at the local 18-hole golf course. Snowdonia
National Park, with its dramatic peaks and hiking trails,
lies just a short drive away, adding even more variety
for outdoor enthusiasts.
Transport links are another strength. Regular buses
connect Rhos-on-Sea with nearby towns, and the A55
North Wales Expressway makes travelling across
the region straightforward. This accessibility allows
residents to enjoy the tranquillity of seaside living
without feeling cut off.
Living in Rhos-on-Sea means more than simply residing
by the sea — it’s about embracing a slower, more
balanced lifestyle where natural beauty, community
spirit and practical amenities coexist. Whether you’re
looking to raise a family, retire to the coast or simply
enjoy a gentler pace of life, Rhos-on-Sea offers a
distinctly appealing corner of North Wales.

Be in control on moving day
Here’s a few quick tips to help keep you in control on
your moving day…
BE PREPARED:
1. Communicate
Keep in touch with your Conveyancing Solicitor
and Estate Agent, ensure they are all prepared for
completion day, and remember they are working for
you. Inform your Conveyancing Solicitor of anything
that could be an issue, no matter how small, they can
judge if they need to do anything to ensure a smooth
transaction.
2. Avoid same day exchange and completion
If you’re in a chain of people moving this is not
recommended as it would only take one person to have
an issue with the exchange for all your plans to be void.
If you are using Help to Buy Equity Loan the Homes and
Communities Agency (HCA) could take up to 1 week to
release the funds between exchange and completion,
whilst this may or may not apply to you, it may be
relevant to some parties in the chain. Allowing a week
between exchange and completion will also give you
time to make final arrangements now a definite date is
known such as setting up a Royal Mail postal redirect
service, which takes up to 5 working days, informing
your removals company, booking time off work etc.
3. Ensure all the required funds are ready
You should ensure your Conveyancing Solicitor has
all the funds needed from you to close on completion
day. Try to include in your budget an amount for other
costs like changing locks, domestic connections, other
miscellaneous fees and service charges etc.
4. Book a professional mover early
A professional removals service is recommended by
the majority of house movers. They will ensure all your
things are out of your home on time before the next
property owners obtain possession and ensure they get
your belongings to your next home safely. They can be
booked in advance and a date confirmed once it is
agreed with your solicitor. Professional removal
companies deal with the property business on
a daily basis, they can give you advice and
they will be able to help guide you through
some of the moving hurdles. Remember to
reserve a parking space if necessary.
5. Pack up your belongings way
in advance of move day
A removals company can help with packing and
can pack up your entire house in a day or two or to
reduce costs you can decide to pack belongings into
boxes yourself. Do start this at least a week before your
move. Pack your breakables carefully with bubble
wrap, or old t-shirts and curtains etc. to avoid
breakages. Label all the boxes with the room
they will be going to in your new house to help
your removals company. Decide what you want
to take with you, what you can recycle or find a
new home for; envisage your new home to see
where your furniture is going to be placed to
save you moving anything that you do not have
room for.
18 www.fletcherpoole.com

MOVING DAY
1. Child and pet care
Children will want to be involved in the move, but it
can be a distraction for you and unsafe environment
for them. Pets also will be distressed and confused, so
asking someone to help look after them on the day will
allow you to concentrate on your move. If the children
are old enough to help, find age appropriate tasks for
them so they can feel part of the move. They could
help make beverages if old enough, or help with
the final clean up and say goodbye to their old
house.
2. Meter readings
Before you leave, get a final meter reading
of all your metered services and call the
relevant suppliers to inform them of the
numbers so you can settle up the final
balance and close the account ready for
moving. If you don’t do this you could end
up in disputes with the new owners and it’s
just added stress when you could
be relaxing in your new home.
3. Pack an overnight bag as if
you’re
going away for the weekend
This will help you on your first
night and day once you arrive in
your new home to help you find
clothes and toiletries that are
otherwise packed away.
4. Essentials box packed and
transported with you
“Pack your breakables
carefully with bubble wrap,
or old t-shirts and curtains, to
avoid breakages”
Essentials box to include; kettle, cups, tea and coffee,
milk, sugar, loo roll, snacks, phone charger, small radio,
tape, pens, scissors. These will be still needed in your
old house and the first thing you will want to find in your
new house! Remember your removal team will need
refreshments too!
5. Final checks and clean
Make sure you are fully prepared for the day ahead.
Go through each room of your home and ensure that
you have not forgotten anything. Do leave your old
home in a clean and tidy condition for the new owners;
if you have time before the move a spring clean is
recommended and do remember if leaving white goods
in the kitchen to give them in good condition and
consider a professional oven clean. It is a good idea not
to pack the vacuum cleaner and give the house a good
clean once it is empty.
YOUR NEW HOME,
WHERE TO BEGIN...
1. Make up your new beds in the new house first
When you’re tired later and you can’t face anymore
unpacking, you can hop straight into a comfy bed and
get a good night’s sleep. This way you will feel revived
and ready to crack on again in the morning! Putting up
curtains in the bedrooms are also a great start.
2. Your first meal
Who knows how many helpers you will have and you
are bound to have worked up an appetite. To be very
organised, a grocery delivery would be one less job, but
you need to ensure that you have your kitchen sorted
out by the time it is delivered. Locate a local takeaway
delivery company so when you get hungry in the middle
of building the beds and wardrobes you can have a
welcome break without taking too much time off!
3. Home insurance
This may be the last thing on your mind, but do ensure
your policy has started and everything is covered for
your new home. It would be awful if you your foot goes
through the ceiling whilst unpacking and your home
insurance policy has not been updated so you’re not
covered.
4. Meter readings
As when you left your previous home, take meter
readings of all your metered services, record the
numbers and call the relevant suppliers to ensure your
services don’t get cut off, there are no outstanding
balances on these services from the previous owners
