AGENT'S NOTE

Prospective purchasers should be aware that a recent mortgage valuation resulted in a surveyor recommending against lending on the property due to the proximity of a traveller site to the rear. This was a recommendation relating to an individual mortgage application and does not necessarily reflect the lending criteria of other mortgage providers. Purchasers requiring mortgage finance are advised to make their own enquiries with their chosen lender prior to incurring any costs.
