The team at the Goadsby office in Chandler’s Ford have had further success with their proactive approach in relation to Buy-to-Let. A landlord recently purchased a property from the sales team for investment purposes and, working hand in hand with the sales team, the lettings department was able to liaise with the landlord and offer the best advice and guidance.

The landlord was impressed with lettings team’s proactive approach and felt their new purchase was in safe hands from start to finish.

While the Hiltingbury property was still going through the sale process, the lettings team were able to do some background marketing and they provided the landlord with a list of potential tenants.

As soon as the property was ready to market, Goadsby lettings managed to secure a let on the first viewing.   

Molly Gibbs, who runs the lettings team in Chandler’s Ford, commented: “It is because we are a multi-disciplined company that we are able to offer an all-round comprehensive service for our clients which produces the best results.”

Goadsby’s Winchester office was recently instructed to sell a two bedroom flat in the popular Ashbourne Court in Winton Close, off the Andover Road, and very quickly sold it to an investment landlord. Upon completion the landlord instructed the lettings department to market the property and was very pleased to find the property was let on its first viewing.

Kim Bone, Assistant Lettings Manager, advised that this is due to the great working relationship between the sales and lettings teams within the Goadsby infrastructure and believes this offers investors and landlords a far greater all round service.

Kim explains: “Team members from sales and lettings both attend viewings with buy to let investors as we feel it is beneficial for landlords in case they have any questions or would like up to date information about legislation which is particularly helpful for first time landlords.”

Forming a large part of the original coach house to Shawford Park, this property dates back to the late 19th and was converted a hundred years later to provide spacious and interesting accommodation with a flexible layout and lovely features. With two areas of garden, each with its own distinctive character, and fishing rights on the River Itchen which flows at the bottom of the principal area, Tom’s Coach House has much to appeal to purchasers.

The split level entrance hall has doors off to a lovely sitting room at the front with twin sash windows overlooking the courtyard and an open fire as the focal point; the dining room; and a third reception room ideal as a study or fourth bedroom. The smart kitchen lies to the rear and has plenty of space for informal dining and a door to the rear garden. There is also a guest cloakroom and stairs from the hall rise to the first floor landing.

The landing branches off to three good size bedrooms, all with space for a double bed and fabulous vaulted ceilings with exposed beams. The master bedroom at the front is particularly spacious, whilst the second bedroom at the rear, has wonderful elevated views over the garden and river beyond.

To the front of the property there is a driveway providing off road parking in addition to a garage.

The gardens are delightful and the main, lawned area, with mature trees and hedges to the boundaries, stretches some 170 feet down to the river where fishing rights can be exercised. The south facing courtyard to the side may be accessed from the dining room and is a superb space for entertaining with clipped low level hedging softening the paving and the whole area is enclosed by old brick walls. There is a further area with raised vegetable beds for those who relish the idea of cultivating their own produce.
