About me
Quick context — I'm moving on for personal reasons, nothing to do with the flat or my flatmate. Happy to answer any questions on a call.
Viewings
Available anytime. Drop me a message with a bit about yourself — what you do, when you'd want to move in, and roughly how long you're looking to stay. Happy to do a video walkthrough first if you're not local.
