This period from early september to December promises a significant improvement on last year and certainly closer to the healthy levels of transactions that will allow this recovery to be sustained. all of our offices have reported high levels of interest and have agreed many sales with chains finally being connected due to the pent-up demand that has been steadily building over the last few years. Fortunately we have been instructed on some of the best properties in the area so consequently we have been able to match buyer to seller quickly and efficiently with both sides of the transaction feeling they have achieved a good deal. This balance is not only extremely good for the recovery it is also finally allowing many buyers, who were in rented accommodation awaiting this moment, to make their decisions to purchase.

Most of us accept that the central London market acts independently of the normal marketplace because of its international appeal and this has obviously created a spike in demand particularly as it is perceived as a safe financial haven. Fortunately, because of our proximity to the city, we do receive some reflected interest, many of our clients having businesses related to the city. as a result we benefit from the London ‘feelgood factor’.

we have listed five good tips which we at Lawlors believe will provide our clients with the best ways to capitalise upon this improving market.

1. LOck INTO a FIXeD raTe MOrTGaGe with base ratesheld at 0.5% mortgage lenders are tripping over themselves tooffer evermore competitive deals. NOw is the best time to lockinto a really good long-term, low rate fixed mortgage deal.

2. PrIce TO seLL The temptation to increase the asking price of your property is great given the belief that the market

is moving upwards swiftly. However the reality is that buyers still need to contend with high stamp Duty costs and associated expenses. Our advice is to price your property to sell in this market and to take advantage of the new stock that is coming onto the market to make your move go quickly and smoothly.

3. INVesT IN BUy-TO-LeT PrOPerTy as base rates are at an all-time low, it is very difficult to achieve a decent return on traditional investment saving schemes. Therefore investment in property for rental should be a number one priority. Despite the Government’s best efforts to increase the housing stock it will take a number of years, if ever, for the supply of housing to keep up with demand. we therefore feel it is a pretty safe bet that, if you have a good property available to rent, it is more than likely going to increase in value and give a good return.

4. HeLP yOUr cHILDreN ONTO THe PrOPerTy LaDDer although the Government has introduced a number of schemes to help first-time buyers, it is inevitable that most first-timers will require further financial assistance. although it is up to each parent to decide how much they can do to help their children, there are various tax advantages to gifting as well as lending money to children to get them on the ladder. One thing is for sure and that is that the long-term prospect of property values is upwards and this is a golden opportunity to get on the ladder with interest rates held so low.

5. TaLk TO LawLOrs PrOPerTy serVIces Make sure you discuss all of your moving options with our experts. with our wealth of local experience over many years there are very few situations we haven’t already dealt with. we have the skills to make your moving dreams come true.

BLOOMInG nOT BOOMInGThere is no doubt that the property market is recovering at all levels and price brackets throughout the area. However any suggestion that the market is at risk of running out of control is frankly ridiculous.

The Oak-Tree Schools comprise Normanhurst School in North Chingford, Coopersale Hall School, just 2 minutes from Epping High Street and Oaklands School, long established as the leading prep school in Loughton.

How do your schools perform academically?At our two prep schools Coopersale Hall and Oaklands, we prepare children for entrance exams to a wide variety of schools at 11+. Most get their first choice of school, whether selective or state. This year many Year 6 children have been spoilt for choice! At Normanhurst, our students sit GCSEs at age 16 and they consistently perform extremely well. Small class sizes allow more individual attention.

How do you keep in touch with what parents want from their children’s school?We tend to send out a parent survey every few years. Spring Term’s survey showed that the overwhelming majority are delighted with each school and their children’s progress. Where constructive ideas for further development have been made, these have been implemented very quickly. Each Headmistress and I have held informal coffee mornings for each year group this academic year, which have been incredibly useful to chat openly and listen to feedback.

The Oak-Tree SchoolsMatthew Hagger, Group Principal of the Oak-Tree Schools, answers

questions about academic success, and the importance of families and schools working together

What was new last year and what plans are coming up?Science features heavily on the curriculum, so last year we upgraded Normanhurst’s main Science Lab and this summer we will be upgrading the Science areas at Oaklands and Coopersale Hall. Oaklands had a new library at Easter, and both Oaklands and Normanhurst will benefit from Kindergarten refurbishments over the summer. Coopersale Hall has recently had a new nature reserve. We constantly review the education on offer and are always expanding the enormous choice of before and after school activities at all three schools.

How does being a group of schools benefit pupils and parents?The three schools together have around 750 pupils and 220 members of staff. This means we can share best practice and good ideas more readily. We hold regular combined events, such as the September Year 3 camp night, Autumn Term Art Exhibition, and Spring Term Music Festival. These offer excellent opportunities for the pupils and help to bring the schools together.

How useful are Inspection Reports for parents?Being inspected by a team of fellow professionals is challenging, particularly as we are given only 5 days’ notice of a visit. This means we have to be ready all year round and so are constantly developing our education and all three schools regularly gain ‘outstanding’ and ‘excellent’ comments at. Parents should read inspection reports in detail as an independent review is invaluable for judging a school’s performance.

Can prospective families see your schools in more detail?Although our official Open Days are in October and March each year, prospective families are welcome to arrange a private tour with the Headmistress at any time. Competition for places is high so early registration is essential.

SPOTLIGHT On WOODFORD SALES...

Over the summer months we have seen first-

hand evidence that the market continues to

remain extremely active with a high number

of buyers who, in a position to proceed, are

looking and competing for properties. It is

shaping up to be a seller’s market.

even during the school summer holidays, a time traditionally where

viewing activity and instruction levels have slowed down in previous

years, the market remained buoyant with sales levels significantly

exceeding those previously achieved. all types of property within the

current market from small apartments to large detached properties are

selling successfully.

we have also witnessed an increase in sale prices achieved. In some

areas these increases have been as much as 10% higher than those

realised for similar properties we had sold a year ago providing us with

further indications that the remaining quarter of 2013 will continue to

see this period of sustained activity proving it an ideal time to sell your

property. with this in mind and with our renowned

sales expertise we encourage you to call us

if you are considering a move.

The creation of a hidden terrace withinthe existing roof form provided externalspace beyond the original footprint andbeing within the London geographic; weunderstood how valuable this space wouldbe both practically as well as financially.Internally we enhanced the buildings mainstructural features creating exhilaratingspaces with precision detail.

Our understanding and obsession of working spaces to their maximum potential; enabled us to complete this project not only architecturally but with the highest quality of interior and lighting design.

We believe our acknowledgement for this project reflects our unique working ethos. We are uncompromising in our pursuit for new and exciting designs; driven by delivering outstandingly creative schemes to perfection.

We take enormous pride in our work and welcomed the opportunity in August last year to create a new annexe for Haven House Children’s Hospice. Honoured to be invited to work on such an important and meaningful project we have continued to push the boundaries of possibility.

To take advantage of The Department of Health funding has demanded strict design and time constraints. To design, secure planning permission and complete the build all within in a twelve month period to qualify; has been challenging beyond belief but we feel a euphoric sense of achievement complying with the requirements set that we have finally started on site.

The annexe will truly change the hospices’ operational life, enhancing the child care all able to be realised with the help of manufacturers /suppliers and the contractor Mason Construction; this building will truly be a project to be proud of.

Following a successful year we have been inundated with exciting project opportunities, both residential and commercial. The conversion and development of a large site in East London into a new office development forms our next challenge, as well as other exciting and innovative new build and regeneration/refurbishment projects. All providing us to with the opportunity to continue to develop and evolve.

Design is everything! That may sound strange and obvious but many buildings fail to have design at all! We are a practice that is clear. Our thought, understanding, originality, creativity, passion and dedication is what makes us unique.

Whilst few would doubt the necessity of a system controlling the advancement of development, an inconvenient consequence of such controls is that, in times of economic hardship, they can stunt the growth that could otherwise flow from a liberalised planning system.

The current coalition government were all too aware of this when taking office and in the Chancellor’s budget of 2011 it was announced that changes relaxing some of the restrictions imposed by the planning rules would be introduced.

Following much consultation, a new Permitted Development Order came into force on 30 May 2013. “Permitted development” is development that is deemed automatically to be granted planning permission without the requirement for a full express application to the local planning authority, although there may be other requirements imposed by the planning authority that are prerequisites to such development taking place.

The new permitted development Order - the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (Amendment) (England) Order 2013 to give the full title – has increased permitted development in a number of areas and is intended to boost the economy by reducing the burden of the planning system on businesses and householders.

For householders, the permitted depth of a single-storey rear extension (not exceeding 4m in height) has increased from 4m to 8m for a detached house, and from 3m to 6m for all other houses. For extensions that fall between the former and the new limits, a “prior approval” procedure must be followed. The householder must notify the local planning authority before starting development, which will in turn notify the neighbouring properties. If the neighbours object, the planning authority will determine whether the extension’s impact would be unacceptable to the amenity of the adjoining properties.

Of more interest to commercial landowners, a change of use of a building from offices to a dwelling house is permitted without the need for express planning permission. This right is limited for a period of 3 years from the commencement of the new rules and will not apply to buildings for which other commercial permissions currently exist, such as industrial or storage units. As further limitation, express planning permission will still be required for any physical works required to the exterior of the property, and the building must have been used as an office before the new rules came into force (to prevent developers from building offices with the intention of side-stepping the requirements for residential planning permission). As with the new householder permitted development, a “prior approval” process is in place. The local planning

In times of a stagnant economy, where many of us cannot afford to move up the property ladder, an attractive alternative for homeowners is to extend their existing properties, making full use of the available land. For commercial developers, property that is either sitting vacant or undeveloped can be a significant financial burden...

The ability of both homeowners and developers to use their property as they wish is subject to the planning rules and policies imposed by both national and local government. The origins of the UK planning system, as it exists today, can be traced back to concerns developed during the half century leading up to the Second World War over increasing pollution and urban sprawl. In 1947 the first of the Town and Country Planning Acts was passed, which required all proposals, with a few exclusions, to secure planning permission from the local authority.

Extend yourexisting property


authority must be given notification of the proposed change of use, and may consider matters such as transport and highways in deciding whether or not prior approval is required. Prior to the commencement of this new right, a number of local planning authorities applied to be “exempt” from this new permitted change of use. These exemptions were mainly granted to London Boroughs, for which tight planning control, it was argued, is key.

The perhaps obvious concern of this permitted change of use is that it will result in the erosion of office premises, with individuals being housed in unsuitable locations. The government’s argument is that the loss of commercial units will be outweighed by the benefit

of increased housing, and has sought to address any unsuitability via the prior approval process.

The government hopes that these planning changes will have a significant and positive impact upon the provision of housing, construction and the economy generally. Time will no doubt tell whether this is indeed the case.

SPOTLIGHT On WOODFORD LETTInGS...

As the seasons change so is the mood in the

local property market. We are seeing investors

who now feel confident enough to reinvest their

money back in to the Buy to Let market.

This increasing confidence comes from the current attractive yields and

higher than average rental incomes. we are noticing an increasing

demand for one and two bedroom properties with a property of that

size taking a relatively short amount of time to achieve its asking price.

so with this in mind it is clear to see why investors are returning to the

local market for a better return on their money, but it is imperative that

the investor chooses the right property. The sales and Lettings teams

at Lawlors together work closely with investors to maximise potential

returns and to ensure that the right property is purchased, one offering

a suitable rental income. we are extremely honest in our approach and

the bonus of any sale and purchase through us gives the Lettings team

a great opportunity to provide a seamless transaction for any investor

minimising void periods.

For advice please feel free to pop in to see either me or a member

of our sales team at any time. we shall be only too

happy to guide you in the right direction.

we look forward to hearing

from you.

Greater London leads property surgeTube access much sought-afterThere are convincing indications that the UK residentialproperty market is on the way up in terms of bothtransactions and prices, with the Greater London arealeading the way. Statistics from the Council of MortgageLenders (CML) show that more first-time buyers have beenactive during the past year, helping to release buyers furtherup the chain. Government schemes such as Funding forLending and Help to Buy have boosted activity, as has acompetitive mortgage market. It has even been suggestedthat a new property bubble is inflating, though governmentand lenders deny this.

The improved climate in the market as a whole has alsogiven buy-to-let participants the confidence to investalongside owner-occupiers moving upwards. Capitalgrowth is a vital part of most homebuyers’ calculations; theprospect of a rising market clearly holds more appeal thanthe lacklustre conditions seen for several years afterNorthern Rock collapsed in 2007. Higher rents, as manyaspiring first-timers have rented while trying to raise amortgage deposit, have also buoyed BTL demand andhelped cheer the wider market.

Investing in property as an owner-occupier or landlord isgenerally a long-term proposition, so buyers need to lookboth at present market conditions and the outlook for futureyears. Encouragingly, many economists think that thecurrent regime of low interest rates to aid economicrecovery will continue for some while yet. This view is basedon new Bank of England Governor Mark Carney’s signalthat the Bank’s low base rate is unlikely to rise any timesoon, possibly not in the next two or three years.

Regional variations in property market conditions ofteninvolve London and the Southeast leading the way and thatwas very much the case during the first half of 2013. At the

end of June, Nationwide Building Society said its datashowed that the house price gap between London and therest of the UK was wider than ever. In late August, the Councilof Mortgage Lenders said that total house purchase lendingin London during the second quarter had been boosted bythe increased lending to first-time buyers and showed a riseof 18% compared to the same quarter in 2012.

Prices in the Home Counties and beyond tend to benefitas the London effect ripples outwards. Indeed, the CMLrecently noted that the more positive housing andmortgage market sentiment and activity were no longerrestricted to London and the Southeast. This widerimprovement must be good for UK population mobility andthe ongoing outlook for Greater London, Hertfordshire andEssex properties.

Demand looks likely to remain strong for substantial homeson the fringes of London that have good access to themotorway network, including M11/M25, and the Tubesystem, notably the Central Line serving desirableresidential areas such as Woodford, Buckhurst Hill,Chigwell, Loughton and Epping. Research has consistentlyfound buyers willing to pay a premium price for qualityproperty in easy reach of a Tube station, both for their owncommuting convenience and for access by their domestichelpers from less expensive areas.

SPOTLIGHT On LOuGHTOn LETTInGS...

At Lawlors Property Services we know

exactly what it is like to work in a demanding

market seeing it grow year on year. I think

we can safely say that the rental market will

be compelled higher and higher as we go

we have already experienced a fantastic year to date in 2013 and we can only see it getting better and better.

In this current market if you are in a position to have money in the bank and you do not know what to do with it then this really puts you in a fantastic position. Buy to Let is a great option and as a potential landlord the lower house prices and rising rents are attractive and that’s where Lawlors can step in to act for you.

we would make it as easy as possible for you once you are ready to rent your property as that is what we do best!
