SALE AGREED – Four bedroom detached house with double garage
Buy to Let in Godmanchester
If you are looking for a property in Godmanchester to buy and then let to tenants we have usually have access to suitable property.
Currently we have a three bedroom end terrace property in Pipers Lane, Godmanchester that has just been reduced to £144,500. In fairness it needs double glazing and a new bathroom suite but we could let it once done for around £700pcm.
If the thought of having this work done worries you or puts you off, we can take care of it for you. We have just project managed a complete renovation for an overseas landlord. The project came in under budget and we actually let the proeprty for £25pcm more than we had forecast.
Pipers Lane is a popular location in the heart of ‘old’ Godmanchester. Having just let a three bedroom semi in New Street for £795pcm with 24 hours or it coming to the market we are even more than confident of the location. Godmanchester has proven a very sucessful place to ‘buy to let’ with high demand and an eclectic range of properties.
Even if you had to pay the full asking price the net return would be over 6%.

Shall I sell my house now or should I wait?
————————————————————————————————————————————-
Shall I shan’t I?
Should I shouldn’t I?
Sell now or later?
Without a crystal ball it is very difficult to be 100% confident with the answer to your dilemma, should you sell your house now or later.
I think every case is different, I met a couple last week who are thinking of selling a property they currently let, they have a great tenant who is looking after the place really well, in fact is improving the property by decorating it throughout and paying a good rent on time. In this case I suggested they hang onto it for the time being. There property will sell faster and for a higher price when first time buyers return to the market.
In other cases where supply & demand is in the vendors favour now is absolutely the right time to sell, this can be judged by looking at Rightmove. How many houses would yours be in competition with?
Estate Agents will always tell you no is the right time to sell because they want their commission now so don’t always follow their advice.
If you want the earth for your property or you bought it in 2006 or early 2007 and need to get more than you paid for it then now is probably not going to be the best time and you may be in for a long wait.
Every case is different, all I would say though is what have you got to loose?
Get an Estate Agents who works on a ‘no sale – no fee’ basis, get an EPC (only £50 and last 10 years) and stick it on the market, even if you get an offer you are not obliged to move.
This is not a huge decision or commitment.

Walk from Pub to Pub in Godmanchester, Hemingford, Houghton, Wyton, Hartford, Huntingdon and back to Godmanchester.
We start at The Exhibition Pub in Godmanchester just because it is closest to us but you could start at any of the pubs mentioned. Remember to Drink Responsibly!
This circuit is approx. 7 1/4 miles long.
DIRECTIONS
From The Exhibition we head down Earning Street to The White Hart Pub. From here head out of Godmanchester on Cambridge Road under the A14, past the allotments and left down Cow Lane.
At the end of Cow Lane is gated access onto the common that links Godmanchester with Hemingford Abbots, there is a footpath all the way across and onto Common Lane. If you walk right to the end of Common Lane and into the centre of the village you’ll find the Axe & Compass, a 15th Century thatched cottage.
If it’s more about the walk and less about the pubs don’t go to the end of Common Lane turn left onto River Lane, if you have visited the Axe & Compass for a cold pint, the toilet of a coffee then head back down Common Lane and turn right into River Lane and over the river onto the meadow.
This meadow has a path across but can get a bit wet in the winter, it links Hemingford and Houghton. If this is your first visit to Houghton you are in for a treat as the pathway leads over Houghton Lock and then under Houghton Mill.
From Houghton Mill you can walk up into the centre of Houghton and onto the Old Market Square and home to The Three Horseshoes Inn. From here you want to walk away from the square and round to your left on Huntingdon Road into the adjoining village of Wyton where soon on your left you’ll find The Three Jolly Butchers.
Once you have finished here carry on up Huntingdon Road where it’ll joint the main Huntingdon and St. Ives road, heading towards Huntingdon will soon bring you to Hartford Marina which has a bar & restaurant.
From Hartford Marina there is a new footpath that runs alongside the guided busway route past The Grove and onto Old Houghton Road, Hartford. Once you have joined the main road again, head left towards Huntingdon and the Ring Road and you’ll soon see The Barley Mow on your right.
Opposite The Barley Mow there is a street called The Hollow which will take you down to Hartford Church and a pathway that will lead you all the way along the river all the way back to Huntingdon Riverside Park and The Old Bridge Hotel.
Over the foot bridge and into Godmanchester the Black Bull will be on you left and then further into Godmanchester opposite our office you’ll find some public toilets!
