Not all of our properties will have room sizes given on the website tenants are therefore advised to take a pen and paper to their viewing and if time permits our member of staff will give measurements on request.
Although television and telephone lines may be present in a property this is not an assurance that there is an aerial present or active telephone line, it is the responsibility of the tenant to make their own enquiries with regards to these services. At tenants request we can arrange for these services to be installed on fully managed properties.
