SELLERS INSIGHT

"I purchased the apartment in 2013 as I was looking for a rental investment property and felt that this apartment offered lots of positive features that would attract good tenants. Not only was the apartment cosy and reasonable to run, but it was also situated just a short stroll from the shops and amenities in St Marychurch that admirably cater for everyone’s day to day needs. The apartment has been a good rental property for me, popular with prospective tenants and never a struggle to re-let, with my last tenant having lived there for approximately 10 years. Petitor Mews is a lovely development, well maintained, peaceful and yet within walking distance of local shops in St Marychurch and the beautiful Babbacombe Downs."
