I blogged recently about the shoddy time I had looking for a place to buy in London. After a bit of thinking I’m contemplating buying a place back on the Island as an affordable investment property, continuing to rent in London (in a nicer place) and seeing how things look in a few years.

Anyway, with this plan in mind I had a look around a new place on trip down to see a friend for his birthday. The experience was a world apart from my last estate agent one. They called up a few hours before the appointment to make sure we were still on for the viewing. The girl then turned up on time and spent close to an hour showing me around the place and fielding various questions.

As a result it seems likely that I may go down this route and invest on the Island. Some lessons to be learnt there for Haart estate agents.
