OWNERS INSIGHT

“I purchased Sefton Court a couple of years ago as an investment property, the space the apartment provides as well as the fantastic location is what drew me to purchase it. With it being situated just off Babbacombe downs with bars, restaurants, and beaches it was a great holiday let that generated a healthy income. The property doesn’t just suite as an investment property with it being newly renovated its perfect for a first time buyer or someone looking for a property that needs no work. I have now decided to sell the property but hope it goes to someone who can enjoy a good income like me or live in the property happily for many years.”
