I’m a friendly and approachable landlord. This property was my own home for over 20 years, so there is little I don’t know about the property, the neighbours or neighbourhood. So I can advise you on anything local you might need. I’m careful and cautious with who I choose as tenants, because I care about the property and the neighbours (and hopefully you!).

Please get in touch if you have any questions!
