D-Day on Park Central!

Well I'm finally a "real" amateur property investor in that I've now got an actual buy to let property! I took the day off work in case anyone needed to get hold of me quickly but in the end it was a very quiet day. The furniture providers (David Philips) rang to say they needed a deposit and they would be delivering next Tuesday, then the solicitors (Breytenbachs) rang me around 4.00PM to say it had all gone through alright. Thank you Serliana, thank you Breytenbachs, thank you Savills Private Finance!

To tell the absolute truth it was a bit of an anti climax, when you buy a house your going to live in it is a time of high excitement, theres the last minute tranfer of funds, the move itself, the packing and unpacking, meeting the new neighbours etc, etc. In contrast, this was a bit like opening a savings account, your broadly optimistic that your going to make some money (or you wouldn't be doing it) but its not like its going to change anything significant, at least not immediately.

Crucial bit now is to get someone in to let it, so over to the letting agency Arkade Properties.
