Tenant Fee Ban - How will it affect you as a Landlord?
It all started with the Autumn 2016 statement where a ban on letting fees was announced. This was aimed at stopping some agents and landlords from charging prospective tenants whatever fees they could think of.

Why is Wymondham one of the most sought after towns to live in, in South Norfolk?
It's easy to see why, with regular and reliable rail links to Norwich, direct trains to Ely, Cambridge and Stansted too.
The railway station is on the right hand side of this photograph, and the iconic Wymondham Abbey on the left. One of the popular walks is to walk past the Abbey and the popular Mid-Norfolk Railway stop through Becketswell park where if your are very lucky, you might see a Kingfisher looking for fish above the small river.
