OWNER INSIGHT

"When I was looking to purchase a property to use as a rental investment, I visited this apartment and immediately realised that this was an ideal opportunity for me. The apartment offers a good level of living space, enjoys open views over the surrounding rooftops to the Great Hill hillside beyond. With it being on the first floor I felt that it was safe and secure. Having now owned the property for 9 years I have found it to be a lovely apartment and it has been an ideal investment for me. In fact my family have even enjoyed their time living there over the last couple of years. We have found there to be a lovely sense of community within the area. With my family now moving on to a home of their own I now feel that the time is right for me to sell the flat but I hope that it will be as happy a home for the new owner as it has been for me."

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on August 9, 2024

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on August 9, 2024

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
