OWNER INSIGHT
"My husband and I were not actively looking for a property, but we spotted 31 Princes Street for sale in 2016 and quickly purchased it due its clear investment potential and because of our fondness for the local area. Being on the edge of the downs and so close to the beaches, coastal walks, pubs, restaurants and coffee shops we knew it was a wonderful find. Having bought the property we spent several months updating the electrics and lighting, installing a new kitchen and bathroom, completely redecorating and preparing the property for our first guests in 2017. We have, since then, enjoyed many happy holidays and weekends at the property, with our children, as well as a good income from the rentals. Changing circumstances means that we don’t have as much time to visit the area anymore. We are therefore looking to sell the property and would really love to see it go to another keen investor, or to a first time buyer or a family for whom we believe it would make a wonderful home."
