Every effort is made to describe this property as accurately as possible using all information made available to Proudhouse Property Management. It is our policy to assess and appraise property in the context of standard and commonly accepted living arrangements. For example, 'double room' descriptions are only used when it is possible to fit a 4'6 bed, bedside cabinets and wardrobe in a room whilst still maintaining sufficient access in and around the room. References to 'spacious' or 'good-sized' are used subjectively and relative to the size and build-form of the property. A wide-angle camera lens is often used for our photographs; the purpose of this is to show as much of the property as possible and any distortions of apparent room dimensions is genuinely unintentional. It is ultimately the tenant's decision to make an offer on based on the property as seen during viewings; Proudhouse Property Management will go to all reasonable lengths to answer any queries prospective tenants have but cannot be held responsible for ensuring a property is suitable for a tenant's particular needs. Tenants are reminded to view the Energy Performance Certificate and the Council Tax band to help inform them of ongoing costs. Proudhouse Property Management advise all their landlords clients on their statutory obligations to provide properties safe and fit for habitation. For tenants' reassurance, Proudhouse Property Management will not act on behalf of landlords who do not meet their statutory obligations.
