In Brief:
A fabulous opportunity to acquire a larger than average, 3 double bedroom property in a very desirable area for professional sharers. We acquired it at 20% lower than comparable properties in the area due to timing of purchase as well as it being a new build property instead of the more popular Victorian conversion so prevalent in this area.

This is an excellent buy to let investment offering over 1100 sq.ft in balanced accommodation including 3 double bedrooms plus a study, all less than 7 minutes walk to Clapham Junction. This entire area has been identified in the Local Plan as an area eligible for public funds for regeneration. Formerly in a tertiary location the property will benefit from any local enhancement as the surrounding area is gradually gentrified. The property is well presented and of a sensible layout. It provides excellent rental accommodation and will outperform other comparable properties in the area in terms of return on investment due to having been such a strategic purchase in the first place.
