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 wanted to make the move without leaving the apartment empty.
Keen to rent it out but unsure what to do with his furnishings, he contacted us at M A S O N S for guidance. We recommended marketing the apartment as a fully furnished rental, 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 factored the landlord’s existing broadband contract into the marketing strategy, advertising the property with broadband included. This not only saved him from termination fees or ongoing costs but also made the apartment even more appealing to incoming tenants.
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.
The apartment is located in the highly sought-after Johnson Place development in Hitchin, just moments from Hitchin railway station and a short walk to the town centre. 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. Additional 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.
