Piling on the pounds is not the usual resolution at the start of a New Year but in property, that’s exactly what buyers are aiming to do. The mantra location, location, location still rings true and according to Barton Wyatt, Surrey estate agents, one buyer has bagged a bargain in Virginia Water – it has the desirable postcode which helps to add pounds to any purchase and the home in is need of some updating to transform it into a modern family home.

 

The sale of ‘Simla’ a grand five bedroom house on the prestigious Wentworth Estate in Virginia Water was agreed on New Year’s Eve and completed two weeks later. James Wyatt, Senior Partner at Barton Wyatt says, “The house attracted 34 viewings in 3 weeks and despite its need for some restoration work the property sold for £225,000 above its asking price with the new owners snatching the deal at £1,725,000 beating the 12 other offers on the table.”

 

The purchasers, who were actually the first viewers to see the property, are relocating from Kent to take on this property project. They have grand plans to enhance its rooms and features making it more family friendly and they are of course hoping to add extra pounds to its value as well.

 

With Simla’s enviable address, easy access to major airports and central London and also close to some of the best schools in the country, this property has a bright future with a family excited to make a new beginning.
