Letting your London Colney home
With junction 22 of the M25 almost on the doorstep, London Colney suits people who drive to work, so tell applicants about parking clearly and early. With no station in the village, it’s worth being upfront about how far the train is too.
Get a free valuation first, then choose between full management or let only. Every fee is published, so you can work out the numbers before you call.
Letting a flat at Napsbury Park
Napsbury Park was built in the grounds of the former Napsbury Hospital, which closed in 1998. The grounds are a Grade II registered historic park, with a mix of converted buildings and newer homes. If you own a leasehold home there or elsewhere, read your lease before you let: it may require permission, and it may set rules on things like parking and pets. Service charges also affect what the let really earns you.
