Financial Highlights

Comparable properties on neighbouring streets are being offered for resale at significantly higher prices, and in some cases lack amenities such as parking. Rental demand in the area is high, with one-bedroom apartments fetching £475 p.c.m. and two-bedroom apartments achieving between £550 and £600 p.c.m., dependent on size and features.
