OWNER INSIGHT

"My mother bought the flat as an investment and rented it out very easily. The very first time I visited the apartment block with her I was immediately struck by the appealing setting, and well-kept appearance of the communal areas and block in general, along with its close proximity to the town centre. It has always felt a very safe and secure location and I am sure it will make a great home, or continued investment. The tenant has been lovely, and it would be heartwarming to think she could stay if someone wishes to take over the property with the current tenancy."
