CHANGING MARKET FOR AGENTSIn a recent survey 68% of high street estate agents are considering introducing a range of tailored services for home movers, the research by Move with Us, polled more than 100 independent estate agents across Britain. 88% revealed that they would offer a bundle of services, allowing homeowners to pick their preferred marketing options. These include a combination of listing a property for sale on Rightmove and/or Zoopla only, taking professional photos, writing the property description as well as handling viewings and negotiations if required.

Move With Us says estate agents offering this added level of exibility are more likely to remain competitive in the face of increased high street competition. Robin King, director at Move with Us, said: The property market is a long way behind many other industries in terms of providing customers with choice, exibility and convenience.

SLIGHT SLOW DOWN IN NATIONAL HOUSE PRICE AVERAGEThe average price of a property in the UK now stands at 186,270, 9.7% higher than a year ago, according to the latest Halifax house price index. However, house price momentum has slowed since July when it saw a 10.2% year-on-year jump. Halifax says there were tentative signs that a better balance between demand and supply might be emerging which, if sustained, would help to dampen the pace of price growth.

However its not all bad news, statistics collated by the government show that independent international economists predict stronger-than-expected UK house price rises over the next ve years. They forecast rises in 2014 of between 5.8 per cent and 12 per cent. In 2015 the predicted increase will be 6.0 to 16.5 per cent. In 2016 the increase will be 4.6 to 10.1 per cent. In 2017 they anticipate 0.5 to 5.6 per cent, and in 2018 the prediction is 1.7 to 5.0 per cent.

BUY TO LET LEGISLATION TO BE TIGHTENEDThe Treasury has announced parts of the buy-to-let mortgage market will be regulated to meet EU rules. The new rules, pert of the EU Mortgage Credit Directive, set common standards that EU members need to meet in order to protect consumers taking out loans to buy a residential property.

The Government says the legislation includes introducing a new set of regulations for buy-to-let lending, where the lending is to consumers rather than for business purposes. The changes will not come into effect until March 2016, but the UK Government is consulting now in order to give mortgage rms and customers

LOVE YOUR BATHROOM

DESIGNER RADIATORS

As bathroom spaces become more elaborate and mood orientated, consumers are

looking for products that can emphasise these characteristics. Designer Radiators have

turned what was essentially a utilitarian product into a design feature for any room. The

fact that these items are now functional as well as aesthetically pleasing has led to a big

increase in demand.

Many of the newest designs are now capable of providing sufficient heat for a variety of

bathroom sizes without the need for a backup heater. It is worth noting however, that

the heating requirements of a particular room are dependent on a number of factors.

These range from room height/how many outside walls/number of windows etc, so it is

a worthwhile exercise to calculate the heating requirements of a room before deciding

which designer radiator to have in your bathroom.

TOP TIP

It is always better to overestimate your needs than underestimate. You can lower a

radiator's maximum heat output but you can't force it to generate more heat than it's

physically capable of!

Burnside is a beautifully presented 4 bedroom family home, situated in an

outstanding location on the banks of the River Stour (INCLUDING FISHING

RIGHTS), at Little Canford, a small enclave of riverside homes just 2 miles to

the east of Wimborne Minster. Standing in superb gardens of about one third

of an acre, with magnificent views across the river onto Canford Magna Golf

Course and beyond.

Originally built in 1966 on land formerly owned by Stourbank, an adjacent

period house, Burnside was substantially extended in 1985 and then sold

to our clients by the only previous owners in 2003. The house has been

completely refurbished and modernised to a high specification (internally and

externally), and extends to nearly 2400 square feet of living space.

It is contemporary in style, with many significant features, in particular a

large living room (with bi-fold doors to a large decking area and the gardens,)

an oak kitchen (with a range of appliances) and a master bedroom suite (with

a high vaulted ceiling and access to a roof terrace.)

The property has a generous entrance hall, cloakroom, magnificent living

room, large dining room, well presented oak kitchen, utility room. There is

a galleried first floor landing with a superb outlook over adjacent farmland,

master bedroom having an en suite wet room, 3 further bedrooms and a

magnificent contemporary style bathroom/shower room.

The house comes with 2-car garaging and excellent parking facilities, and

the outstanding gardens benefit from fishing rights over the River Stour, and

beautiful views.

Burnside is connected to mains electricity and water and has private drainage.

It has oil fired central heating and UPVC double glazed windows.

The gardens, which are an outstanding feature, have a large L-shaped

lawn that leads directly down to the banks of the River Stour, where there

is a concrete landing stage. A feature of the gardens is a large split level

entertaining timber deck, ideal for barbecues, with a sitting area and space for

a hot tub.
