Our client and an ex British Army officer bought this nicely presented ex military property in May 1989 for £34,000 as an investment property.
The two bed well presented terraced house was located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac just off Devizes Road and has during this time been let and managed by Whites Estate Agents, in more recent years the property generated a rental income of £750 pounds per month.
He had always said that he would sell to any tenant who wanted to buy No 10 and this has finally happened in 2022 – but it has taken 34 years and the value of the house has gone up to £215,000
The rental department at Whites is pleased to report that over the entire time of the 34 year management there have been no arrears of rent. The house and garden was well looked after by 10-15 different tenants over the years and is passing to the new owners in generally good order, but in need of a bit of updating around the edges. So final the tenant will see the wish list fully fulfilled!
Director in charge of lettings at Whites, Mr Marcus Shepherd, concluded:
“This is an example of a job well done for the investor Client who arrived at Whites as a relatively young new Client at the end of the property boom of the late 80s and over 3 decades later, he is now leaving the Whites “family” on the back of another property boom to see out the rest of his retirement without the usual stresses and strains of property ownership.” Albeit Marcus and his team have shouldered most of the burden successfully along the way.
