Purdie & Swan Lettings is gearing up for a busy autumn, if the last couple of weeks are anything to go by! Director, Katherine Treseder-Griffin, reports eight properties let in the last couple of weeks and as a result they are now looking to replenish stocks, particularly in central Winchester where the demand is greatest.

As an example, one of the houses recently let had the new tenant signed up in the first week of marketing at an 11% increase on the previous monthly rent. In fact, the house had two prospective tenants, both ideal, and offering at the asking price.

Naturally the landlord is very pleased with the outcome and commented: “I have found Purdie & Swan to be thoroughly professional, reliable and efficient. Katherine’s knowledge of the area has proved invaluable in letting my house in the centre of Winchester. Suitable tenants have been found quickly and all the paperwork, safety certificates and deposits will be professionally handled by Purdie & Swan as with the previous let.”

Katherine says: “There is a particular demand for three and four bedroom houses in central Winchester,” but would be pleased to hear from anyone with a property to let. Call Katherine at Purdie & Swan on 01962 717711.
