OWNER'S INSIGHT

"I bought the house back in 2015 for a rental investment, and have never had any difficulty securing tenants. The location was an attraction for me, previous tenants, and I am sure the new owners being close to schools, shops at Torre, and Torquay seafront and Abbey Sands just one mile away. The property was part of my pension plans, and I have now reached the point where it has served its purpose and time to hang up my landlord shoes!"
