For upsizing tenants, the biggest leap is from a 3-bedroom property to a 4 (or more) bedroom property. Based on asking rents in the last 6 months for Glastonbury property, the leap from a 3-bedroom property to a 4 (or more) bedroom property will set you back a massive extra \u00a3628 month in rent.<\/p>\n<p>Landlord readers need to take care as larger properties don\u2019t necessarily offer the best returns for buy to let as the higher rents achieved do not always match the higher monthly finance costs.<\/p>\n<p>The cost of an additional bedroom can be too much for some Street and Glastonbury homeowners and tenants. It is challenging to get on the ladder, but to then find you are priced out of the next move up the ladder can be disconcerting, with families often having to move to a different part of Somerset or even the country\u00a0to get the bigger home they need.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Moving to a bigger home is something growing families in Street and Glastonbury may aspire to, or may be something considered by homeowners and tenants who simply want more space.
