Portsmouth and Bournemouth Aylesburys


OK so I haven't been to any Aylesburys for a while now, so I decided to knock two relatively close together locations off the list. So off I went. It was a relatively straightforward drive down to Portsmouth with the pleasant autumn sunshine giving way to clouds and a bit of rain. Portsmouth's Aylesbury is in the middle of one of Portsmouth's islands and is very unremarkable, unless you really want a carpet, then the Portsmouth Carpet Specialist will be able to sort you out.

I moved swiftly over to Bournemouth which is equally uninspiring and uninteresting as an Aylesbury and is in a particularly grotty state. It seems to have several letting agents letting houses on the road and like most landlords, they do not care about the state of the houses and let the bare minimum of maintenance happen to maximise their profits. This is counterproductive as lower quality properties will attract lower rents, or people who receive lower incomes or are in less stable jobs. This means that there is less revenue from the properties and potentially more problems with rent collection, exacerbating a problem, rather than solving it.


Corfe Castle is definitely worth a visit and thats where I visited after these two Aylesburys.
