Viewber Diaries: Ricky’s Story of Property, Creativity & Life in North Wales

Viewber Diaries: Ricky’s Story of Property, Creativity & Life in North Wales

From London life to the countryside of Corwen, North Wales, my journey into the property sector has been anything but conventional — and becoming a Viewber has made it even more rewarding.

Several years ago, I made the move from London to the picturesque countryside of Corwen in North Wales, and it completely changed my pace of life — in the best possible way. The scenery, the sense of calm, and the community spirit made it feel like home very quickly. It’s now a privilege to work across North Wales, providing professional property viewings and reliable estate agent support in North Wales, all while being based in one of the most beautiful parts of the UK.

I joined Viewber in November 2024. Although I didn’t come from a property background initially, I’ve found working as a Viewber in North Wales incredibly rewarding. Before becoming a Viewber, my career followed a more creative route. I’m a writer and the owner of a cinema magazine, and I’ve also done acting and extra work for TV and film. Storytelling has always been a big part of my life — and I’ve realised that property has stories of its own. Every house, and every client, brings something unique.

Discovering the North Wales Property Market

Moving to North Wales was my first real introduction to the property world. Learning about the North Wales property market hands-on — from rural homes near Corwen to coastal properties on Anglesey — has been both interesting and inspiring.

One of the most memorable moments in my time as a Viewber was working with a young couple searching for a home in Oswestry. I showed them the same property several times, supporting the estate agent throughout the viewing process. When they finally managed to purchase it, I was there on move-in day to hand over the keys. They hugged me — a moment I’ll never forget.

Experiences like this are what make property viewings in North Wales so rewarding. Most clients are genuinely lovely, and when you see someone fall in love with a property, you can’t help but quietly hope it all works out for them.

Professional Property Viewings Across Rural North Wales

I treat every appointment with the same friendly professionalism, whether it’s a run-down property in need of major repairs or a stunning £1.2 million home on the coast of Anglesey.

Preparation is key when conducting property viewings in North Wales, particularly in rural areas. Many countryside properties don’t have numbers, only house names, and can be tucked away off the main road. I always arrive early, especially when travelling across more remote locations. I make sure I understand the property beforehand, conduct viewings calmly and clearly, and follow up properly once I’m home.

Behind the scenes, organisation is everything. At open house appointments, you can sometimes have up to eight viewers through the door, so keeping accurate notes and completing feedback promptly for estate agents is essential. Supporting estate agent support in North Wales requires reliability and clear communication. I’m very much old-school — I write everything down in a notebook. In rural parts of North Wales, Wi-Fi can be unreliable, and having details to hand can make all the difference if you need to contact the agent or client.

For anyone considering becoming a Viewber Member in North Wales, strong organisation, professionalism and local knowledge are invaluable qualities for any freelance property professional in North Wales.

Expanding My Property Services in North Wales

Looking ahead, I’ve recently extended my certifications to include floor plans and property photography. This has opened up more opportunities and allows me to offer a broader service to estate agents and property professionals across North Wales.

I’m also noticing changes in the local housing market, with more homes going to auction and former holiday lets coming back into circulation. It’s encouraging to see more young people trying to get onto the property ladder — and they certainly have a better chance here in North Wales than they would in London.

Working across Corwen, Oswestry and Anglesey, I’ve seen first-hand how varied the property landscape is in this region — from traditional cottages and barn conversions to modern coastal homes.

My favourite appointments are barn properties. I moved into one myself when I first came to North Wales, and they’ve stayed close to my heart ever since. The views are always scenic, and the wildlife surrounding these homes really appeals to me.

Why I Value Being a Viewber in North Wales

If I could give my younger self one piece of advice, it would be to invest in property earlier. And the quote I live by is simple but true:

“Fail to prepare, prepare to fail.”

It applies perfectly to life — and especially to being a Viewber.

I take inspiration from leading property platforms such as Rightmove and Purplebricks, always keeping an eye on how the UK property market evolves.

Being a Viewber has allowed me to combine my people skills, creativity and love of homes into a role that genuinely feels meaningful. Conducting property viewings in North Wales — whether in Corwen, Oswestry, Anglesey or surrounding rural communities — has shown me how important flexibility, preparation and professionalism are in this industry.

For anyone looking for flexible property work in North Wales, or considering joining Viewber as a Member in this region, it’s a rewarding way to be part of the property sector while enjoying everything this remarkable part of the UK has to offer.

I’m excited to see where the journey continues.
