Property Detail
When the owner of this immaculate two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment in Hitchin was offered a long-term work contract in Italy, it was an opportunity he couldn’t pass up. Although the property had been purchased just a few years earlier as his home, he was eager to make the move without leaving the apartment empty.
Keen to rent it out but unsure what to do with his furnishings, he contacted M A S O N S for guidance. We recommended marketing the property as a fully furnished let, allowing him to avoid the cost and inconvenience of putting everything into storage.
Within just one week, we secured a professional couple who were thrilled to take the property as it was – furnished and ready to move into. To further streamline the process, we also factored the landlord’s existing broadband contract into the marketing strategy, advertising the property with broadband included. This not only saved the landlord from termination fees or ongoing costs but also added extra appeal for the incoming tenants, who were more than happy with the inclusive setup.
The result? A smooth transition abroad, no storage or contract headaches, and the reassurance that his home was being well looked after in his absence.
Located in the highly sought-after Johnson Place development, just moments from Hitchin’s mainline railway station and a short walk to the town centre, the apartment is presented in excellent condition. It features a bright open-plan kitchen/living space with integrated appliances and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the communal gardens, two generously sized bedrooms (including a master with en-suite), and two modern bathrooms. Added benefits include secure underground parking, access to landscaped gardens, and inclusive water and fibre broadband.
With the right advice and a well-executed plan, this landlord was able to embrace a new chapter overseas while turning his home into a smart, hassle-free rental investment.
