MESSAGE

FROM THE CEO

Paul Beresford FNAEA MARLA

Welcome to the festive edition of the Beresfords Magazine which is filled with some fantastic offers and opportunities!

2022 has been a year like no other. We have witnessed from afar the tragic events in Eastern Europe, while at home we have seen a significant increase in cost of living. That combination, when paired with the Chancellors Autumn Statement which announced widespread spending cuts and tax rises, has presented a challenging time for many. However, it is certainly not the doomsday scenario that the media have tried to portray – far from it. Good news has come in the form of the government raising the threshold at which Stamp Duty taxation is to be paid from £125,000 to £250,000, for first-time buyers the threshold has been raised from £300,000 to £425,000. While we are seeing the increase in property prices starting to slow, in the two years since the re-opening of the market post Covid-19 in June 2020, average prices have in fact risen by 23%.

On a national level UK house prices have grown 9.5%. At 3.8% UK rental price growth in the year to October is continuing on an upward trajectory. Demand for rental properties remains extremely high and is set to outpace supply in the rental market for the foreseeable future.

In early December, the Government’s long-held ambition to see 300,000 homes built every year was abandoned by housing secretary Michael Gove. This is extremely disappointing news as new home registrations

increased by 33% in Q3 2022 versus Q3 2021. A total of 44,729 new homes were registered, the highest Q3 figure since 2007. Essex however remains an attractive proposition for Developers to build and provide the county with attractive new homes, and this year alone we are extremely proud to have launched 979 units with our developer partners at a total value of £437,527,350 – some of which are just coming to market and you can view within this magazine.

In summary history tells us that if you are thinking about moving, and are in a financial position to do so, you are likely to yield strong returns over the period that you live in your home.

Finally, I would like to thank all the Beresfords team members across our 17 branches spanning Essex and Greater London. This year we were delighted to be named, ‘Best Estate Agency, Essex’ and ‘Best Estate Agency Marketing, Essex’ at the International Property Awards. Furthermore our Land & New Homes division were selected in the top three teams in the country at the Negotiator Awards ceremony which took place at Grosvenor House in London this Autumn. To be recognised in this way is testament to the experience and expertise our staff embody across the group.

Wishing you all a happy and restful festive period and all the best for 2023.

Beresfords’ dedicated Country & Village team is made up of highly experienced individuals who have substantial knowledge of this specialist sector. The team works closely with Beresfords’ network of 17 branches to provide instant access to a large selection of buyers whether you prefer a discreet service or fully marketed. Our London Office is particularly beneficial in feeding international and London based purchasers to all of our offices across Essex.

THINKING OF INVESTING IN BUY-TO-LET?

HERE’S HOW WE CAN HELP!

Owning a second home and renting it out can be an effective and flexible way to invest. Bricks and mortar has and historically continues to outperform many other types of investments over the medium to long-term.

Our dedicated team of buy-to-let specialists are on hand to help you through your journey from start to finish. Amongst other things they can provide advice and assistance on specific aspects including those listed below:

• What and where to buy?

• Historic capital growth performance for specific geographical locations.

• Offer rental projections and related yields on any local properties which you have identified, be they be for sale with Beresfords or via another agent.

• Retain a unique list of properties which have been pre-selected as ideal buy to let investments.

• Offer competitive funding options.

With investment properties available in Essex from as little as £100,000 funding is available up to 75% of the purchase price. Therefore, someone would need to raise the remaining balance by way of savings plus a little extra for associated costs. So, to get started it’s not as expensive as many would believe.

You may have been considering investing in property for some time and have just put it off due to a lack of time or simply fear of the unknown, but our team can provide support at every stage of the process. Many have already taken the plunge and you may be interested to hear their stories below.

NEED ADVICE?

Whether you are a seasoned investor thinking of expanding your portfolio or are considering entering this sector of the property market for the first time we can provide a lot of useful information to help make the process that much easier. You can even see what’s happened to house prices in specific areas across Essex over the last 20 years.

Where

Contact

Some examples include:

• Recommending the first tenants who express an interest even though they may not necessarily be of the highest quality.

• Not undertaking critical checks on tenants therefore leaving landlords exposed both legally and financially.

• Failing to register deposits appropriately in an approved scheme and where arrears arise are slow chasing unpaid rent.

• Their Inventory Reports are brief and do not adequately protect landlords if a dispute arises.

• Don’t conduct routine property visits during a tenancy despite assurances that this is ‘part of their standard service’.

• Fail to deal with maintenance related issues, promptly and effectively.

• Constant changes of staff, thus offering no consistency of service.

Some of this sound familiar? If so then it may be time for a change!

PREPARING TO MOVE

HOW TO PUT YOURSELF IN THE BEST POSITION TO SELL QUICKLY

Moving home is often cited as one of the most stressful things a person can experience, especially if you are not prepared. However, by taking the time to do your research, plan and budget correctly, you can make it a much smoother and stress-free process. There are a number of things to consider when putting your house on the market and covering all contingencies in order to ensure a smooth process.

Below are a few pointers which can help you get on the right track when looking to sell.

THE EARLIER THE BETTER WHEN MAKING YOUR MORTGAGE APPLICATION

One quarter of house sales fall through due to lack of organisation and thoughtful planning. By making your mortgage application early, you will be building a valuable rapport with your mortgage provider, therefore ensuring that via a good communication between you, any questions can be answered quickly and any issues that may arise can be dealt with as swiftly as possible. It will also provide peace of mind knowing that the appropriate documents and administration has been taken care of at an early stage leaving you free to concentrate on other matters regarding the move.

BE FINANCIALLY PREPARED

Ensure that you assess and acknowledge your credit score between six to twelve months before searching for a property. In doing so, you will have a greater understanding of any need for improvement. Unfortunately finances can always cause issues during the sale of a property, so by

speaking to a mortgage broker and arranging a mortgage agreement principle, you will have a much clearer indication of how much they can offer you and arrange your budget around before searching for a property.

CONVEYANCERS

Conveyancers can also have an impact on the property buying process and can cause further delays if not dealt with accordingly. Varying factors such as expired mortgage agreements to misplaced title deeds, as well as further delays from both parties can increase the length of the process.

IN CONCLUSION

It takes on average between eight to twelve weeks to complete the sale of a property. Without taking into consideration the prospect of gazumping and further unforeseen issues which may arise during your exchange, it can still be a very time-consuming and expensive process. However, with careful planning and a strong rapport with your provider and an understanding of the market, it can be a far less stressful procedure than one that has not been as carefully prepared.

SUPPORTING LOCAL CHARITIES THROUGHOUT 2022

BERESFORDS FOUNDATIONWORLD CUP CAMPAIGN 2022

For every goal that England scored during the World Cup we donated £100 to the Beresfords Foundation. The foundation is a charitable fund set up with Essex Community Foundation in 2016 to support some of the less well-known charities in the region. Not only was this a great opportunity to support local charities but it was also a great way to cheer the three lions on. A total of £1,300 has been donated!

BERESFORDS FOUNDATIONSAINT FRANCIS HOSPICE, HAVERING

The Beresfords Foundation announced in August that will be donating £10 to Saint Francis Hospice for every property sale and letting completion throughout our Havering branches (Gidea Park, Upminster, Harold Wood and Hornchurch) for one year until 1st August 2023.

St Francis Hospice supports people with illnesses that can’t be cured or treated. Their aim is that no one is afraid or in pain, and no one dies or grieves alone. We are delighted to share that four months into our campaign we have raised £1,100!

MIND - SKY DIVE

On Thursday 15th September, 12 members of the Beresfords team took part in a tandem sky dive for MIND charity.

MIND believe that no one should have to face a mental health problem alone. They offer support and advice to anyone experiencing a mental health problem and without donations and fundraising activities, MIND would be unable to offer this fantastic service.

The team had a fun packed, adrenaline filled day and together through amazing teamwork they not only supported each other, they managed to raise over £6,000 which is a huge achievement!

SO FAR THIS YEAR BERESFORDS STAFF AND INITIATIVES HAVE RAISED OVER £12,000 FOR CHARITABLE CAUSES.

NICKI IN BOTSWANA

In October our Marketing and New Business Director, Nicki Treffers took part in a 568km bike ride in Botswana over a 5-day period to raise money for Norwood charity.

Norwood makes an invaluable difference to people’s lives. They have a multi-disciplinary team of practitioners and a family of services designed specifically to support vulnerable children and their families, and children with special educational needs.

Long cycling distances along highways travelled by freely roaming elephants, the African Bush, the heat and camping under the stars was a challenge felt on so many different levels and was well rewarded by the experience.

Nicki raised over a staggering £4,600 which is an incredible contribution to help support such an amazing charity.

FOOD AND THOUGHT CAMPAIGN

We are fully committed to helping where we can in tackling food poverty across Essex, and are excited to share news that we will be launching our ‘Food and thought appeal’ in January 2023.

We are asking our staff and the local community to offer food and thought, by donating an item(s) of non-perishable, tinned or dry food to one of our 17 drop off points across our branch network.

We believe that everybody should have access to a nutritional and balanced diet, and that is why throughout 2023 we will be raising awareness and calling on our communities to help us help those that are most in need. So next time you are shopping please spare a thought for someone that could benefit from your kindness.

Thank you for helping us make a di�erence

SALVATION ARMY PACKING

In December our marketing team headed down to volunteer at the Salvation Army in Romford to help pack Christmas gifts for children that are in need.

The team said “It was a fulfilling, heart-warming experience to be a part of. We are honoured that we could support such a worthy cause and bring joy during this festive period”.

We believe that every child should wake up to a present to unwrap on such a festive today, so it was a pleasure to help a worthy cause.
