Owner's Insight

"The house has been a great investment for me since 1998, with the cul-de-sac position, green outlook, easily managed garden, and driveway parking being big attractions to me when I bought, and equally proven to be great attributes when finding excellent tenants. With my tenant unexpectedly ending the recent tenancy, it has brought forward my decision to sell. I am sure it will make a wonderful home, or a continued sound investment for a new landlord and tenants to enjoy."
