OWNER INSIGHT "My mother bought the flat as an investment and rented it out very easily. The very first time I visited the apartment block with her I was immediately struck by the appealing setting, and well-kept appearance of the communal areas and block in general, along with its close proximity to the town centre.

It has always felt a very safe and secure location and I am sure it will make a great first home or investment purchase."

Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
