ASKTHEEXPERT

The fi rst hint of sunshine will bring out a fl ush of prospective buyers.

How can a seller make the best of a home that’s up for sale?

Wendy Peterman Managing Director Petermans Herne Hill...

A huge de-clutter is often really helpful. It really gets your head round the fact

that you are going to sell your house, which can be incredibly daunting.

My advice is to organise a weekend so that the kids are looked after, your

husband is occupied and then get a friend in to help you.

Here are a few tips to get you on your way:

• Firstly clear your mind of personal attachment to the property – hard to do, but it will help with the next steps.

• Try to de-personalise your house – put away evidence of hobbies, family photos etc.

• Clear out the clutter and try to keep it that way (I realise you still have to live there!).

• Have a good look around and only keep the things you really need (go through every room with a fi ne tooth comb). Unwanted items will be welcomed by charity shops.

• Storage is a big factor for would-be buyers, so let them see there is no shortage of cupboard space – maybe hire a storage cabin for excess stuff.

• Remember fi rst impressions count – the entrance hall sets the tone for the viewing. Don’t use it as a dumping ground – clear out coats, hats umbrellas and shoes.

• Use artifi cial light to highlight areas of a room to make it look more spacious – dark corners and hallways. Keep window dressing to a minimum. This will maximise natural light by allowing it to fl ood in.

Spring has sprung, the birds are singing and the sun is making brief appearances – and the London property market is bucking up, says Jenny Knight

Anna Czaban, lettings manager at Knight Frank, Clapham, says: “Just after Easter we had a rush of people looking for family houses to rent. They are getting ready to fi nd properties by June

and July, so they will have moved in good time for the new school year starting in September. We normally expect an Easter rush, but this year with the uncertainty over Brexit and the economy, we wondered if it would happen, but it did. Better still we have a good supply of family homes at a range of prices from £1,000 to £3,000 a week. “

Her colleague Robert French, head of sales at Knight Frank Clapham, says enquiries have picked up.

He says: “We are approaching the Spring market which will typically bring a renewed focus to both buyers and sellers. For those that have been looking to buy for a few months, now is the time of year where they will see some absolute gems surfacing. We have been instructed to sell one of the oldest and best houses in Clapham Old Town, and a number of apartments in the historic Thornton Place. For those that have decided 2016 is the year that they will be selling, now is absolutely the time to get your property in the shop window.”

Good news is fi ltering through from many sources. The average house price in England and Wales has passed £300,000 according to Rightmove.

Rightmove director Miles Shipside says: “Visits to Rightmove are up by 14 per cent in early March compared to the same period in 2015, so it’s no surprise that those buyers who can borrow more, or can fi nd some extra cash, are keeping the price merry-go-round spinning.”

Homes in London have average price tags more than double the national average, at £644,045. Across the country the bank BNP Paribas Real Estate reckons that average prices will rise by 20.1 per cent by the end of 2019. Data from the Council of Mortgage Lenders shows that gross mortgage lending reached £17.6 billion in February, the highest fi gure for that month since the lending downturn began in 2008.

Mohammad Jamei, CML economist, says it is possible that there will be no UK interest rate rise this year, further bolstering buyers’ confi dence. “Lending continues the year on a positive note. The recovery is being underpinned by market fundamentals in the UK, as wages grow and unemployment falls, helped by Government schemes and competitive mortgage deals,” says Jamei.

It may not prove to be a home for life, but for the moment the dashing Spanish actor Antonio Banderas, newly divorced from Melanie Griffi ths, is enjoying a Huf House set

deep in the Surrey countryside near Cobham – and its friendly neighbours. It’s reported he paid £2.4m for

the three-storey classic ‘butterfl y’ design last year. He and girlfriend investment

adviser Nicole Kimpel are slowly working on furnishing it to their taste.

Last year the Chancellor abolished mortgage interest tax relief (being phased in next month). For good measure, he withdrew the 10 per cent ‘wear and tear’ as an allowable tax deduction. It was a hard pill to swallow. If you’d been fearing

at the time that Ed Miliband might get in and give birth to his plans for rent controls, you were out of the frying pan but still very burnt!

However, there has now been a third budget that is making landlords feel victimised. They will now have to find an extra 3 per cent stamp duty to complete on a purchase, and will not enjoy the 8 per cent reduction on capital gains that will apply to the discharge of other investments when they come to sell.

It doesn’t end here. The Bank of England has just published proposals that will make buy-to-let mortgages much harder to obtain. It is thought these will exclude at least 20 per cent of current investors from further investments.

According to research by the National Landlords’ Association, the number of landlords in central London intending to sell property rose from 4 per cent before last year’s budget to 19 per cent by January this year and they predicted a sell off of half a million properties this year. Certainly, we have seen a few extra BTL sales but no trend so far that suggests this will follow through.

A prime motive behind all this, we are told, is to create a fairer playing field for the first time buyer (FTB). Bear in mind the typical FTB in London is now in their early to mid-30s and to get on the ladder, in the even the cheapest boroughs, is likely to need at least a £45,000 deposit for a property worth almost ten times the average London salary of around £35,000 a year – which means ownership is a possibility for a very small minority, without help from Bank of Mum and Dad.

Will these measures will work? In the current climate of low interest rates, uncertainty in the stock market, and the high fees pocketed by pension funds, I think it unlikely that landlords will be encouraged to sell. Instead I think the UK will become similar to Japan where I worked some 30 years ago. It was the norm there to reach 40 before owning your own home. In the meantime, children, I fear, will be living at home for even longer.

THE WORDWith landlords coming under new pressure from all sides, are they deserving of our sympathy? Felicity Blair director at Roy Brooks contemplates their predicament

It’s a charming and fun restaurant, with upbeat music and good food. When I visited, Jesse our waiter was very helpful and gave us a run through of the menu. And the food? A wide selection of burgers, served in brioche buns, which are ‘flipped’ on an American chrome flat grill or roast meat sandwiches all ‘dipped’ in gravy. It’s all about the gravy! Served with everything, the ‘secret’ is beef bones roasted until golden brown then simmered with organic vegetables and herbs before finally mixing in any roasting juices.

GEEUPThe handsome new black horse at Wimbledon Village

Stables is guaranteed to behave perfectly for both expert riders and total beginners.

RoboHorse is a life-size mechanical simulator that helps riders to improve their posture and riding skills thanks to

sophisticated technology used by professional jockeys and dressage riders.

It moves through walk to trot, extended trot and canter and is linked to a computer that assesses each part of the rider’s body

and provides a print out of the results.The £50,000 simulator is also linked to a television screen – in front

of it – so the rider can canter through virtual countryside or enter a dressage ring. Sensors are located on each side of the horse and under

the saddle to encourage the rider to give precisely the right signals. As well as RoboHorse the stable has a new fi tness salon where

classes in Pilates, Yoga, core strength and the Alexander Technique are held. All the classes and the equine simulator are ideal for riders and also

people wanting to get fi t in a uniquely enjoyable way. The developments came about because proprietor Carol Andrews wants

to be like the Queen and continue riding into her 90s. RoboHorse and the fi tness salon, help keep riders fi t and free from niggling aches and pains.

GOLDENSKATESClapham’s Alexandra Snowdon, aged nine, has won

three gold medals for ice-skating and ice-dancing so far this season, two for Great Britain.

Alexandra skates at the Streatham Ice Centre and goes to Belleville School in Wandsworth. Her success has been helped by sponsorship from South London’s own Jacksons Estate Agents, based in south London for the past 21 years.

“To say that we are very proud of Alexandra’s achievements is an understatement,” says Simon Scott, Jacksons Director. “We believe in home-grown talent and it has been fantastic to see Alexandra’s hard work come together for such wonderful results.”

Alexandra has been skating since she was three and started competing at six. At seven she was the youngest competitor ever to qualify for the British Solo Ice Dance Championships.

The three golds this season are for the Skate Southern Club International at Lee Valley and the Copenhagen Dance Cup Competition in Denmark in the Juvenile Ladies AR and the Juvenile Ladies OC, an open category with no age restriction. She was the youngest and beat competitors of 19 and 17 years.

Jacksons started to sponsor Alexandra last year and has promised sponsorship for fi ve years. Jacksons also sponsors three other skaters from the Streatham rink – Jessica Marjot, 16, a former British Senior Ladies ice dance champion, Rebecca Clarke, 15, and Nathalie Nicholl, 11.

AMERICANS AND EUROPEANS FOCUS

ON SQUARE FOOTAGE NOT NUMBER OF

BEDROOMS WHEN MARKETING A PROPERTY

– SHOULD THE UK MARKET ADOPT THIS RULE?

CAROLINE BELLSAVILLS PUTNEY

People tend to look for properties containing a desired number of bedrooms, though most use square footage as a ‘sanity’ check; a

benchmark against the market rate. A house with the same number of bedrooms

but double the square footage would call for a higher price than its smaller counterpart, so we lean more on square footage when

valuing and ensure there is a balance between this and the number of possible bedrooms.

It is often tempting to take this a step further and also measure ceiling heights, or volume, as this can make a vast

difference to the feel of space.

MARC WIEHEWINKWORTH STREATHAM

Buyers are interested in knowing the square footage/metre of properties that they are considering. This is a growing trend in large part due to the fact that most

agents now produce property particulars with measured fl oor plans.

The UK mortgage industry is slowly catching up, however they still use the number of rooms when calculating valuations.

Square footage alone is not always the most reliable guide to value, as quality of interior presentation also needs to be taken into account.

FONDFAREWELLAfter more than three action-packed decades, Octagon’s Group Head of Marketing and PR David Smith is retiring from the company.

A popular and much-loved personality, David was one of the original Octagon Eight who joined the company 36 years ago. His easy-going manner and jovial outlook often belied his extensive in-depth knowledge of the luxury market, something he was always keen to share and discuss with his

colleagues in the press. His bold and memorable advertising campaigns in the

nationals paved the way for the successful expansion of the new homes luxury market.

When not dreaming up the next ad or brochure, David, as a true bon viveur, could be relied upon to fi nd the best restaurant in the most unlikely areas, much to the amusement and delight of journalist guests. He also ‘converted’ many into fair weather sailors. He handled a 44ft yacht with ease, generously sharing his knowledge and making all believe, by the end of a day on the Solent, that they were as good a sailor as he was.

Forever generous, David says: “It has been a real privilege to work with some of the fi nest, most professional people in our industry. I have enjoyed every minute of my three score plus years at one of the most inspirational yet civilised companies in the UK, if not the world. I shall miss my daily meetings with friends and colleagues, but suspect they might not miss my jokes.’

Adieu David, you will be much missed.

MANOFACTION

Martin Sharp, sales manager of Lauristons’ Battersea offi ce loves the

area because there is something for every buyer – from studio fl ats to Victorian and

Edwardian detached double fronted houses, he tells Jenny Knight

“So far the year has been a little fi ckle. Some properties have sold for £30,000 and even £90,000 more than the asking price while others have taken a time to attract interest. It all depends on the right price, location and marketing as

well as some other variables. Our fastest agreed sale so far this year has been three days. “Stamp duty rises have affected the market for multi-million pound houses in central London,

though in South West London it has not had as huge an effect and perhaps this may take a little longer to sink in for the increase in stamp duty on second homes and buy to let properties.

Nor does Martin think the EU referendum will damage the market.“It’s like General Elections. In the run up people are cautious but afterwards, whatever the

result, things settle down quite quickly and the market picks up as if nothing has changed. Whatever the outcome, London is and will remain a global hub for employment and opportunity.”

In his career as an estate agent instead he says his greatest skill is the ability to listen and understand what clients want.

He joined Lauristons last year after 15 years in the property industry, working for a large corporate estate agency in West London, then in Battersea and fi nally in Ealing.

“I wanted to get back into this area and Lauristons is a company that treats its staff and clients fairly.”His role is to help Lauristons to develop its brand in the local area and to use his understanding of the property

market in Clapham and Battersea to provide clients with the best advice depending on local prevailing conditions. “I love Battersea and Clapham and London in general. I live in Twickenham but I’d ideally move closer in. I like the

mix of cultures and the London vibe. Each street is different to the next.“Battersea is a great place to work because there is property for everyone here. At the moment we

have instructions ranging from a studio fl at for £275,000 up to a large house arranged as three fl ats for £2.4 million as well as New Homes developments with total values exceeding £100m on one site alone.”

He reckons his experience is best used in sorting out the hitches that often occur when selling leasehold property.“Leasehold is problematic because there is nearly always some slight hitch but I am experienced enough to deal with it

and set out a course of action to minimise any issues, while keeping everyone well informed and as stress free as possible.”Martin, who is married with two children, will take part in a 40-mile hike in July in aid of Action for medical research for

children with 11 Lauristons’ colleagues, setting off at midnight on the South Downs Way.”

AFRESHTAKE ONWOW!Forget the kitchen or traditional living room – the orangery has become

the new space for entertaining in Hill House’s latest project, an elegant classic contemporary country home on the borders of Surrey.

Using a muted palette of champagne and cyan hues, the talented design team have transformed this extensive room into a tranquil oasis at the heart of this family home, perfect for sophisticated evening soirees and everyday relaxation in equal measure.

A bespoke chilled drinks cabinet is cleverly concealed by sliding mirrored doors, offering plenty of room for champagne, and double doors open out onto the delightful terrace and gardens beyond –this is entertaining, Hill House style.

Jenny Weiss, co-founder of Hill House Interiors, concludes: “This project shows how diverse Hill House can be – we’ve created a more relaxed look to accentuate the elegant period features of the orangery, but our signature tailored style is still apparent throughout; star pieces include the chic silvery grey thread lamps and sumptuous upholstery. It’s a fresh take on the wow factor.”

TAKE2Jonathan Lubert used to produce home and garden make-over programmes for television, now this acquired expertise is benefi ting his own property renovations, says Jenny Knight

The one-bedroom fl at had a vital ingredient that made it a great buy – lavish loft space that enabled Jonathan to transform the one-bedroom fl at into a rather special and spacious two-bedroom

fl at. Converting the loft space to increase the size of the fl at was an

obvious decision but he fl outed convention by deciding to use the new upstairs space for the kitchen rather than a bedroom.

“It’s a nice area and a place with views over the skyline is where you want to hang out. It is also the lightest room. I suppose it is slightly Marmite – you either like it or not, but I defi nitely like it.”

The kitchen – with its views over the US Embassy, M16, The Shard and the City – has a glass balustrade to give the living room below a double height ceiling and extra light. The living room is another fantastic space with reclaimed antique oak parquet fl ooring. There are three large double-glazed sash windows with plenty of space for sofas and chairs.

Jonathan says: “This is my tenth project. Always the hardest part is fi nding the right properties. The whole house was in poor condition and needed refurbishment. The lower two fl ats had been sold and I bought the top one and the loft void. We did up the exterior and communal areas together and split the costs, which in my experience doesn’t often happen.

“I moved some internal walls to change the confi guration of the space and also to support the new roof. From beginning to end the renovation took about 12 months.”

“I worked in TV as a production manager and then a producer and a lot of the skills are transferable. Property renovation requires the ability to control a budget, work out a schedule and deal with people. There are always neighbours and other freeholders who have to be considered.”

As well as moving walls around to provide two double bedrooms, a bathroom, a living room and the kitchen, Jonathan has used space-saving ideas to provide a few extras. As you enter the fl at there is a large storage cupboard concealed behind a mirror and then up a small fl ight of stairs to the upper fl oor he has turned the landing into a small home offi ce with computer and desk.

He says: “Space in hallways is often not fully utilised, and I thought this little offi ce area might appeal.”

COUNTRYINTOWNSANDWICHED BETWEEN LEAFY WONDERS AND THE CHI-CHI SHOPS OF WIMBLEDON VILLAGE, COOMBE

ANSWERS EVERY WISH, JENNY KNIGHT HEARS

Over the centuries it has gone from a private estate with a manor house to one of South London’s most prestigious residential locations with house prices up in the millions.

John Nouri, of Robert Holmes & Company, explains Coombe is one of London’s premier addresses thanks to its rich array of large contemporary and period houses and mansions hidden away in a secluded network of private roads that make up the Coombe Estate.

“Coombe is a lovely place. I’ve lived here for 17 years. I grew up in Wimbledon and we moved to Coombe because we wanted more space and more garden and because it is a super location. There are conservation areas and all the trees are protected.

“Coombe estate is split into little estates all with residents’ associations. There are two lovely golf courses and a number of houses back onto them, which is fantastic.

“There are many gorgeous houses hidden away behind electric gates and trees and the quality of life here is very different. Warren Road, for example, leads straight into Richmond Park.

One of the signs of a really desirable area is the trend for buyers to knock down the existing house and replace it with a bells and whistles up-to-the-minute home.

John adds: “A number of clients have stayed put and redeveloped their houses. Most of the estate was built in the thirties and people want high tech, insulation and concrete fl oors.

“Originally the huge houses that were here were split into smaller homes but some have now reached their sell by. Planners ensure that people don’t over develop.”

Many of the high value homes on the estate’s most sought-after roads – including Coombe Park Road, Warren Road, Warren Cutting, George Road and Stoke Road – sit on large plots that are protected by gates.

There is easy access to both Heathrow and Gatwick Airports, while the Surrey countryside is a short drive away.

Dominic Pasqua from Knight Frank, says: “There are some great schools, Rokeby, Mary Mount, Holy Cross and Kings College only a mile or so from Coombe.

“There are two golf courses – Coombe Wood and the beautifully manicured Coombe Hill Golf Club which is quite challenging but simply

COOMBEDESTINATION:

Roman coins and other ancient remains have been found and in the Domesday Book Coombe appears as Cumbe. The manor changed hands over the years and a large country home Coombe House was built in the 1750s. By 1761 the estate was owned by John Spencer, the fi rst Earl Spencer, an ancestor of Princess Diana and her sons Princes William and Harry.

Earlier records say there was a gallows for public executions at Coombe, probably near the Kingsnympton Park Estate.

Coombe House was long since demolished but parts of the red brick boundary wall can still be seen in Traps Lane. Coombe Warren was a wild patch of woodland on top of Coombe Hill, used for hunting and public fairs. During the late 1700s The Coombe Wood Highwayman Jerry Abershaw hid out in the woods when not drinking in local hostelries.

lovely and one of the best maintained in southern England. Lots of the houses back onto one or another of the golf courses, so you feel as if you are in the country, but close to the shopping centres of Kingston, Wimbledon or Richmond.

“In some of the roads there are only big houses from £3.5 million upwards and we have just sold the most expensive ever house in Coombe for £8.5 million, so you can see how very desirable it is. However, outside those most prestigious roads there are lots of town houses or smaller homes between £1 million and £2 million.

“In Coombe Hill, Knight Frank offers some impressive houses and family homes for both sale and rental. With an excellent and regular train service into Waterloo station from either Raynes Park, Norbiton or Kingston-upon-Thames, the area is very popular with people who commute into central London. “

Hani Madanat, founder and director of Coombe Residential, has been a resident of Wimbledon and Kingston for most of his life, with over 30 years’ experience in the industry.

He says: “Many people ask us why Coombe and Kingston Hill properties hold their value. It is my opinion that this is due to the fact that Coombe and its surrounding area is a small oasis of beautiful and prestigious properties, which are limited in supply and historically proven to hold their worth. The attraction of the area constantly meets a growing demand from families wishing to access excellent local schools and easy access to the City and West End. The fabulous golf courses within the Coombe Estate plus the unrivalled open space of Richmond Park help to make this area a sought after location for all families seeking a home with a rural feel and yet only nine miles from Knightsbridge. We are very fortunate to be equidistant between Wimbledon village and Kingston town centre; both offer a myriad of first class local restaurants and shopping. For those that enjoy theatre trips, both The New Wimbledon Theatre and The Rose Theatre Kingston host pre and post West End productions on a regular basis. Coombe truly offers something for everyone.”

Charles Holland, Head of Residential Development and Investment at Marsh & Parsons, surveys the roller coaster which is the new homes market

The first quarter of 2016 has proved to be something of a roller coaster ride for the new homes market. It is rare that the market is the subject of such scrutiny from the national media and so much intervention

from Government, over a relatively short period. The prevailing theme in the media seems to be one of oversupply in the

new homes market, and in particular in Nine Elms. How many times have we heard that 20,000 new homes are to be completed “imminently”? Given that the total new-build completions across London in 2015 numbered around 18,000, which in itself was 66 per cent up on the rolling average for the period 2009-2014 (source: Molior), you can see just how far from reality the reported position is.

Contrary to speculation, and what we are seeing on a daily basis, schemes across London continue to sell well – so long as prices remain realistic. Where developments have suffered, and sadly there are a number of examples (but not in our portfolio, thankfully!), it seems some sales strategies still refl ect the heady market activity of 18 months ago. Purchasers today are extremely well informed and, with an abundance of comparable evidence just a couple of clicks way, they are very much aware of market levels.

An example of a well-positioned scheme is Keybridge in Vauxhall – a development of 441 units that we are selling on behalf of Mount Anvil & Fabrica. Since its launch in mid-2015, the development has been a huge success. While undoubtedly this is testament

to both great design and superior amenities, Keybridge has also benefi ted from a carefully curated sales strategy (visit http://www.

marshandparsons.co.uk/new-homes-for-sale for further information).Despite the Chancellor’s continued assault on the private rental

sector and the recent implementation of revised lending criteria from Bank of England, we continue to see healthy demand from buy to let

investors for new-build properties. We, perhaps more than others, have a New Homes portfolio that benefi ted from the revisions made to the old

stamp duty structure to the new incremental system which was introduced in 2014. Indeed, the vast majority of units in our schemes are priced between

£250,000 and £1m, which means our buyers are making savings relative to the historic position. But you don’t have to look too far to understand the appeal on

London residential as an investment choice; in the last year alone the FTSE 100 has fl uctuated from an all-time high of 7,122.70 to a low of 5,499.50 – a swing of

some 23 per cent – so not for the faint hearted!The market is currently underpinned by a chronic shortage of supply, and The

Mayor’s Offi ce has calculated that 42,000 new homes need to be delivered each year until 2035 to bridge the demand gap. The general consensus forecast for London

property prices is for infl ation of circa 25 per cent over the next fi ve years which, given the startling estimate from The Mayor’s Offi ce, looks robust.

BALHAMLUXMartin Grant Homes has unveiled a

spectacular new show home at Barrington Gardens, in the heart of Balham.

The three-bedroom townhouse features 1,342 sq ft of versatile accommodation arranged over three

fl oors. The ground fl oor includes a study and open-plan kitchen/living/dining room, with doors opening onto the

private rear garden. The fi rst fl oor comprises two spacious double bedrooms, one en-suite, and a family bathroom.

The second fl oor is given over entirely to the luxurious master suite, with an en-suite bathroom and dressing area.

Set behind a gated entrance, the Barrington Gardens show home can also be accessed from the street front, with a

private parking space lying to the rear of the house. The façades have been designed to blend with the traditional

architecture of Balham, while the interiors include underfl oor heating, Sottini bathrooms and Amtico fl ooring. The development

consists of four three-bedroom townhouses, four four-bedroom townhouses and a two-bedroom apartment.

The interiors by New i.d Interiors give a classic feel featuring pieces

from Kelly Hoppen London. Barrington Gardens is a short walk

from Balham’s cosmopolitan bars, boutiques, restaurants and cafes.

Balham station is less than a 10-minute walk from the development, providing

underground access to London Bridge in 17 minutes and overground services to

London Victoria in 12 minutes.

ENTERTAINING CONVERSIONNine new family homes, next to Wandsworth Common, are

coming onto the market priced from £1.325 million to £3.25 million.

Charles Baker Place is a development of three fi ve-bedroom contemporary houses with private gardens and garden studios, three four-bedroom mews houses converted from a 19th century period building and three refurbished three-bedroom Victorian cottages.

All the houses have gardens or terraces and there will be off-street parking for nine cars in a gated courtyard.

The development is named after the late 19th century local temperance campaigner and founder of the Church Institute in Balham, the Rev. Charles Henry Baker. The original buildings were put up in 1882 to provide a wholesome place of entertainment for locals.

Over the years there was a social club, meeting room, badminton hall, snooker room and indoor bowling alley. During the Second World War the buildings were used as support facilities for troops manning the anti-aircraft batteries on Wandsworth Common.

Nick Herrtage, founding director of Chester Row, the developers, said: “There is very high demand for family homes on Wandsworth Common from professionals attracted by the area’s superb quality of life, good schools and easy access to central London. We anticipate strong interest for these houses.”

POWERINGONThe fi rst commercial tenants at Battersea Power Station have been announced.

The fi rst new shops, restaurants and cafés will be moving into the fi rst phase, Circus West. To boost the village feel, the tenants range from eateries to a butcher,

baker, fl orist, hair salon, pub and The Village Hall – a space for events and arts. Since the launch of Circus West, in January 2013, about 1,500 new homes

have been sold making Battersea Power Station one of the most successful residential schemes in London history. The strong residential sales continue to date

with over £110m worth of property having sold in the last four months. Customers, who have bought in Phase one have seen a proven average growth of 30 per cent

in value, according to the Centre for Economic Business Research. Battersea Power Station is one of central London’s largest, most visionary and eagerly anticipated new

developments. The 42-acre former industrial brownfi eld site is to become home to a community of homes, shops, cafés, offi ces and 18 acres of public space, serviced by an

extension to the Northern Line.

MONEYMATTERS

INAFIXMore borrowers are opting for fi xed-rate loans than at any other time, according to the National Mortgage Index, whose fi gures show an increase of 0.7 per cent and that 94.7 of people on fi xed rates opted to stay on them when the term ended. The Mortgage Advice Bureau puts this down to comments from Mark Carney, the governor of the Bank of England, who has strongly suggested that low rates are to stay. The bank’s monetary policy committee has kept interest rates at 0.5 percent for more than 80 months and analysts now believe a rise is unlikely this year.

MONEYTIPA recent report told of how average fi xed

rate mortgages continue to fall. For example, two-year and three-year

products stand at just over 2.5 per cent and 3 per cent respectively. Higher loan-to-value

products benefi tted from the biggest reductions. In contrast, tracker rates have headed in the other

direction, with the average rate having risen for the third consecutive month. Even with this good news,

anyone looking for a new mortgage in coming weeks should shop around. Borrowers can substantially

beat those averages, especially if they have signifi cant equity. Two-year fi xes are available from a little over 1

per cent, fi ve-year fi xes around 2 per cent and those looking for long-term security may qualify for a ten-

year fi x under 3 per cent – all excellent deals to tempt borrowers. Rates may fall lower still but, as always, if you

are working to a budget it makes sense to secure a great rate now. Rates are at historic lows so you won’t get a bad

deal and regret it for years to come.Gareth Lowman, SPF Private Clients

DOOMANDGLOOMThe increase stamp duty on second homes may not be all bad news, suggests Duncan Farmer

Since the beginning of April buyers of second homes – or more – have to pay an extra 3 per cent stamp duty on the entire purchase price which, according to the Association of

Residential Letting Agents, will “see supply nose-dive, demand sky-rocket and rent prices go through the roof”.

David Cox, Arla’s managing director, goes on to say: “The introduction of the new stamp duty charges is set to push the private rental sector into a state of despair.”

If these predictions are true, London will suffer far more than most other areas, simply because it has such a big private rental market. But this doomsday scenario seems unlikely.

In the year between August 2013 and August 2014, average property prices in London rose by almost a fifth (19.6 percent) and yet the buy to let market did not suffer at all: landlords kept adding to their stock and although average rents rose, the rate of increase was far less pronounced, at 7.7 percent.

According to Land Registry figures, property prices in London rose by 13.5 per cent in the year to February 2016, meaning that even the additional 3 per cent stamp duty would not take annual growth to 2014 levels. In fact, buyers today would effectively be paying less than they did 18 months ago.

Additionally, the buy-to-let market continues to look very attractive to investors, because interest rates remain so low. NatWest for example has a two-year fixed-rate buy-to-let loan with an initial interest rate of 1.93 percent. In 2014, the best on the market had a rate of 2.49 percent.

One of Arla’s arguments is that the additional cost would be passed on to tenants, but again that is unlikely. It did not happen in 2014 and the rental market, like the sales market, is driven by demand. If potential tenants simply cannot afford to rent a particular house or flat they won’t and will look elsewhere. Additionally, the English Housing Survey reported that last year the number people in the private rented sector fell by 100,000 – surely that is worse news for potential landlords.

The other side of the coin is that if landlords do stop buying there will be more property available for owner occupiers, particularly first and second-time buyers who are generally squeezed out of the market by investors snapping up one and two-bedroom flats.

The new stamp duty rate is expected to raise about £1 billion for the Treasury, of which £60 million has been earmarked for schemes to help young buyers take their first step on the property ladder. If the rest were used to increase the availability of new homes, both for sale and to let, George Osborne’s decision might one day be seen as having done both buyers and tenants an enormous favour at a relatively small cost to investors.

ASKTHE LOCALMarsh & Parsons Sales Manager John Paul Burrough is rooting for Tooting!

What’s going for it?

A diverse range of properties can be found in Tooting – almost entirely set on quiet residential, tree-lined roads. Typically, the Victorian houses are both double and single-fronted, as well as the wider Edwardian-style properties, which can be found on almost every road. Popular Victorian conversions and solid purpose-built flats are also found in abundance.

Well connected?

Tooting Broadway is just 25 minutes or less by tube to central London, and there are plenty of bus routes and access by car into the City is easy. The area offers a plethora of shops, bars, restaurants and supermarkets, as well as Tooting Bec Common, where people can take advantage of the wide open spaces.

And the schools?

It’s impossible to ignore the great schools in the area including Sellincourt, Franciscan, Furzedown, Penwortham, and Fircroft with ‘good’ OFSTED ratings, and Hillbrook, St Anslem’s RC, and St Boniface RC – all rated as ‘excellent’ in their recent inspections. Secondary schools such as Graveney and Ernest Bevin are also considered ‘excellent’ as well.

Hangout at...

A popular place to dine is The Chicken Shop in Tooting Broadway, which is owned by Soho House. The company saw the potential of Tooting ahead of the curve, and despite raising a few eyebrows at first, the restaurant has become a great success.

Where to buy

Gem of the monthHendham Road,Tooting Bec SW17A stunning four-bedroom family home, set on a hugely popular residential road, which offers stylish contemporary living and a wealth of entertaining space with amazing proportions throughout. It’s close to Wandsworth Common, with off-street parking for two cars and a large south-facing garden.£1,650,000Marsh & Parsons 020 8767 3655

101

First-time buyers, investors and families are increasingly coming to Tooting – they can see how much more space they’ll get for their money. On Wandle and Herondale Road larger family houses with gardens offer about £150 per square foot less than neighbouring areas such as Clapham South. The only trade-off – one or two tube stops!

Care has been taken to extend this house thoughtfully. Not only

are there two sets of giant glazed doors in the kitchen/diner (one

bifold, the other sliding), but the Brazilian purple slate floor extends

outside from this room to create a garden terrace. The slate also

continues across the unusually large, gazebo’ed side return uniting the

outside world to the inside of the house. All rear doors and windows are made

from matching olive-green aluminium and mature vines elegantly drip from the

gazebo. Views are rather special, you can see an expertly planted cottage garden

from the rear and a part-gazebo/part-stone courtyard from the rear reception and kitchen.

The kitchen is another work of art, with an Italian composite stone worktop that partly

extends as a breakfast bar and has an integrated drainer, drop-in stainless steel Franke sink and

drop-in circular compost bin. The Smeg range is large, has five gas rings and an extra wide oven.

Larder cupboards are plentiful, down-lighters are fitted above and underfloor heating has been laid.

The wine cellar is in the rear reception under the floorboards, near the rear garden door and

woodburning stove. You’ll notice the original mantelpiece remains, floorboards are stripped and

plantation shutters have been fitted in the bay window. Most internal doors in the house are original stripped pine

finished with brass handles, there’s original coving in the hallway, ceilings are a good height and where good-looking

modern windows haven’t been added sash windows remain. The bathroom showpiece is a freestanding, top-

of-the-range spa bath that’s clad in wood. A generous size, there’s also space for a shower unit, large wall-hung basin and

W.C. (there’s also a separate loo next door). Bedrooms are all doubles and the entire house measures almost 1900sq.ft. When

the front of the house was repointed, the tuck-pointing method was used to give a refined finish.

You’re moments to Lordship Lane, with its superb mix of bars, boutiques and restaurants. East Dulwich station is under

10-minutes’ walk for regular London Bridge trains, Denmark Hill station is a 15-minute walk for non-stop Victoria services (in

9-minutes) and London Overground links to Clapham Junction, Canada Water, Shoreditch, Hoxton, Dalston Junction and Highbury

& Islington. Local primary schools include Goose Green, Bessemer Grange and Dulwich Hamlet Juniors while older kids will be close to

the new Charter School. Some of the UK’s top independent schools are also very near - JAGS, Alleyn’s and Dulwich College. Peckham Rye Park

is a short stroll away, Dulwich Park is also within walking distance while Dulwich Woods offers ancient woodland for scenic Sunday strolls.

COUNTRYSCENEAn idyllic family home with a special story. Robert Jacobs, of Savills Tunbridge Wells sets the scene at Cotchford Farm

Cotchford Farm in East Sussex was the childhood home of Christopher Robin and fi nal home of Rolling Stones’ Brian Jones.

The house, in the Ashdown Forest, provided the inspiration for many of the ‘Winnie the Pooh’ stories and poems, with the local area now commonly referred to as ‘Pooh Country’. Places in the books such as the 500 acre wood, Galleon’s Lap, Poohsticks Bridge and Pooh Corner are all based on nearby locations, which Christopher Robin Milne used to visit with his bear ‘Winnie the Pooh’.

Cotchford Farm was home to the Milne family for over three decades, AA Milne bought the property in 1924 as a country retreat for himself, his wife and his young son. Their time at the house is evidenced by a statue in the garden of Christopher Robin as a child and a sundial book initialled AAM with a quill telling the time on a stand and Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, Eyeore, Rabbit and Owl carved into the surround.

Christopher Robin Milne says in his autobiography The Enchanted Places: “Cotchford was different...Cotchford was ours and on an Autumn morning we drove down to take possession. No, I have got it wrong. It was Cotchford that took possession of us”.

The six-bedroom house, which dates from the 16th Century, was home to another famous owner. In 1968 Brian Jones, the founding member of the Rolling Stones, bought Cotchford Farm, dying tragically a year later at the age of 27.

Robert Jacobs says: “Cotchford Farm presents the opportunity to buy not just a delightful family home but a slice of British history. It is rare to come across a property that has been home to not one but two iconic British fi gures, more than that it is a much loved, and idyllic family home in a wonderful, world-renowned setting.”

For sale through Savills at a guide price of £1.895 million. For more information, contact Robert at Savills Tunbridge Wells on 01892 507000.

Spring sees Christopher Linton

of Savills Cranbrook looking

optimistically at sales across his

corner of Kent

The last few months have been very busy for the local residential sales market in and around Cranbrook.

Demand for properties in this area of Kent remains consistently high from a variety of buyers.

There are those who already live in the area and are looking to upsize or downsize, as well as families who are

currently selling their properties in London and are looking to move to Kent, in search of a better quality of life and value

for money. Therefore, realistically priced property is selling across all

price ranges, though the local market under £1m is performing strongest, with demand outstripping supply.

Outstanding schools in this part of Kent are a key factor for families who are looking to relocate, so high performing senior

schools such as Cranbrook and Benenden, and prep schools such as Dulwich Preparatory School in Cranbrook and Saint Ronan’s and

Marlborough House in Hawkhurst are a defi nite draw.Central Cranbrook and the villages within school catchment

areas continue to be particularly popular with buyers, as do villages with good commuter services into the capital, such as Staplehurst,

Headcorn and Marden.There are also a wide variety of properties in Cranbrook and the

surrounding area which suit all requirements, from large family homes to stunning period cottages in the heart of a village.

Despite a lengthy winter and some stalling due to the Referendum, our outlook for the local market as we head into late spring and early summer

remains optimistic. For more information, contact Christopher Linton at Savills Cranbrook on 01580 720161.

The demand for private rental sector accommodation in South west London is set to rise. At the last count there were 121,450 private rental properties in the SW postcode (meaning 31.8 per cent of all

property in the area is being privately rented). That’s interesting when you compare that percentage with the London average of 25.08 per cent and the national average of 16.1 percent. Although, let’s not forget the 163,001 properties in the SW postcode which are owner occupied (interestingly, 72,840 of them without a mortgage).

Private renting no longer has the stigma it had a few decades ago and it might surprise people to know that even though we class ourselves as a nation of homeowners, roll back the clock 100

years and over 75 per cent of people then rented their own home.Looking at the affordability issue of London property, the ratio of house prices to

salary in 2011 in London was 4.82 to 1, compared to today’s 9.63 to 1. Coupled with the separate issue of raising a deposit, the rental market will only go in one direction in the coming years – upwards.

LETTINGSLOWDOWNWith raising the cash to buy a home increasingly diffi cult for so many, the only direction for rentals is up, says Lauristons Letting Director Silvia Eldawi

On the market AD.indd 1 14/04/2016 09:09

Tell us how you joined the property industry and briefl y describe your career history to date.I started as a lettings negotiator for an independent West London estate agent. I moved up the ranks pretty swiftly and became branch manager heading up the sales and lettings departments.

I took a break from London and went over to Barbados and Bequia where I negotiated the purchase of three plots of land on behalf of investors and organised their onward sale. On my return I joined another independent agency where I ran the sales department and developed the business considerably. After a few years, and as there wasn’t any further potential for career development, I joined Winkworth as the branch manager. I feel very at home and love the challenge of a new offi ce and a new territory. What do you enjoy most about working in this market, and what have been your highlights so far?I love the buzz of activity and the diversity of property. A recent highlight – we were jointly instructed with one of our main competitors on a large property near Streatham Common. We secured a buyer and exchanged and completed the deal very smoothly. I felt a great sense of achievement. Describe the biggest challenges you face on a day-to-day basis.Managing buyers and sellers’ expectations and getting the transactions exchanged and completed with as little stress as possible to all parties. What advice would you give to anyone considering a career in estate agency?If you have a passion for property and like dealing with people this is defi nitely the career for you. Start at the bottom, work your way up and try to gain experience in all areas of the business.

LAST WORDAlexandra Attwood branch manager at Winkworth Streatham has the last say

How diffi cult is the current market for homebuyers, and what advice

do you give them?It’s far easier for buyers looking

in Streatham than other parts of London. It has so much to offer yet is

so much more affordable. It’s crucial to make sure you have all your fi nances

in place and a solicitor appointed so you can proceed without delay as soon as

your offer is accepted.

In your view, how does the South London market differ from other areas of London?

South London is far busier because so many people have been priced out of other areas.

What are your predictions for the sales market

in South London for the next few years?The market is going to continue to go from

strength to strength.

If you were Prime Minister for the day, what would you change or what new measures would you

introduce?I would look at the SDLT (Stamp Duty Land Tax) for

properties in excess of £925,000. Since the changes were implemented in November 2014 it has had a

negative effect.

Where, in your view, is the best place to live south of the river and why?

Streatham is the place to live and it is defi nitely on the up. There is huge investment going into the area, it has excellent

transport links, beautiful green spaces and the High Road is changing for the better.

If you were not an estate agent, what career would you choose

and why?I would love to be a barrister – challenging and rewarding.
