vendor's comments We bought this maisonette 5 years ago with my pension lump sum. Our plan was to rent it out and we have had no trouble at all in finding tenants during this time - indeed the last one would have stayed longer if we had wished to renew the tenancy and had not decided to sell. We also had in mind that we might at some point move in ourselves for a while and we chose it with that in mind. The location is excellent - 15 minutes' walk to Three Bridges station and close to Gatwick and the M23 and on bus routes; adjoining a nice estate of houses and close to Worth Park with its grounds, lake and wooden cows; nice view from the windows; and easy parking (nearby allocated parking spot as well as the garage). We are ourselves moving to a new house and have decided to sell this property to generate funds for improvements there. This could be a lovely home or a good rental property for whoever buys.
