UK landlords enjoying best returns for four years

T

he average advertised rent in the UK crept over the £1,000 mark for the first time in June, according to Move with Us.

The increase has been primarily driven by London and the South East, with advertised rents in the capital up 4.68% to reach £2,300 per month. This is the highest rate seen in the capital since the ‘Olympic bubble’ of 2012.

Average advertised rents in Scotland have also improved every month since November 2013 to hit a new record of £726 per month.

“This is still a tale of two markets, with the South of the country continuing its steady growth path while the North is following behind,” says Robin King, director of Move with Us.

London’s buy-to-let market is expected to peak in the coming year though, as landlords invest heavily in the crowded market. Understandably, confidence among landlords is currently high.

Research from Platinum Property Partners shows that on average out of 500 landlords, income from property investments is expected to make up more than half (56%) of their overall annual retirement income.

Tony Bennett, Managing Director of Platinum Property Partners, says: “Buy-to-let investors will be pleased to see some growth and in fact many are enjoying a cocktail of rising house prices, more stable rents and fewer late payments.”

In each issue we take a sneaky look at what’s been going on in rental properties across the UK

Big fine for Hounslow landlord Hounslow council is clamping down on rogue landlords, issuing fines of £25,000 and £40,000 in just one week alone.

Din Dyal Verma was ordered to pay nearly £40,000 for letting out overcrowded, ratinfested properties in Hounslow.

Sixteen people were found crammed into a house and outbuildings at 33 Station Road, Hounslow. They included a family with a six month old baby living in a garden shed.

Verma was convicted of 14 housing offences at Feltham Magistrates Court on 26 June after being prosecuted by Hounslow Council. He was sentenced on 8th July and fined £24,500 and ordered to pay £14,372 in costs and charges.

Wilson selling buy-to-let portfolio Kent landlords Fergus and Judith Wilson have announced they are selling their entire portfolio of around 950 homes in a deal likely to net them an estimated £100m.

The Wilsons told The Guardian newspaper the value of their portfolio, mostly around Ashford, had now exceeded the value it had in the pre-downturn period of 2007.

“We are selling up the whole lot! The market has recovered and passed the 2007 level.

Who to? An intermediary is handling it. Is it China Money, Indian Money, Saudi Money?

We will see. I am sure there will be much interest,” Fergus Wilson told the paper.

The Wilsons say existing tenants will be protected, with their rental contracts switched to the company or landlord that buys the portfolio.

BRIGHTON & HOVE

B

righton has always been an aspirational location for those in the capital looking to swap inner city pressure for seaside glamour and a quieter way of living, and with many new coastal developments emerging it’s getting easier for Londoners to live their dream.

London by the sea Thanks to its many theatres, restaurants, cafes, boutiques and annual arts festival, the area oozes history and quirky class.

Its proximity to the capital also makes it a highly sought after commuter area, with trains from Brighton to Victoria and London Bridge taking around 50 minutes, thousands of residents do the daily commute, allowing them to have the best of both worlds.

In recent years, many of Brighton’s nearby towns such as Worthing and Horsham, have

also undergone economic revival and the outlook for the area is positive as it continues to attract new investment.

More for your money Brighton is currently the strongest performing region in the South-East (aside from London), with values rising 9.8% in the last 12 months, to an average of £249,035.

In 2013, only Manchester (21%) and London (13%) performed better than Brighton’s 12% rise, according to a report from Nationwide Building Society.

Many experts have suggested that families are cashing in on London’s boom and heading to the south coast to get more value for their money: “They can sell their two-bed flat in London and buy a three-bed Victorian for £350,000, a modern house for £500,000

to £600,000, or a nice home in Hove Park for £750,000 to £800,000,” says Beaumont’s Patrick Kneath.

Property website Zoopla suggests that it’s not just families who have their eye on Brighton though, it is also a top location for single adults. The average price for a one bed studio apartment is £168,616 meaning first-time buyers can get a higher standard of property for their money than in the capital.

“We can’t compete with London wages but commuters can buy a one-bed flat on the seafront and feel like they are on holiday,” says Emma Bailey of Winkworth’s Estate Agents.

For landlords Thanks to the opportunities it presents for partying (and studying), Brighton attracts many students, places at Sussex University are highly sought after and three of the University of Brighton’s five campuses are located in the city, meaning there is high demand for buyto-let properties.

The city’s reputation as a media and hi-tech hub has earned it the nickname Silicon Beach, and the area is awash with young professionals looking to rent. Only 4.7% of 18-24 year olds are claiming Job Seeker’s Allowance according to the Office of National Statistics, enhancing the area’s reputation for offering plentiful opportunities to young people.

For landlords, the average yield currently stands at a healthy 6.16% with monthly rents averaging £1,248 - slightly lower than those achieved by fellow coastal town Southampton’s 8.73%.

Where to invest The Regency Squares on the seafront, such as Sussex Square, Lewes Crescent, Royal Crescent, Brunswick Square, Adelaide Crescent and Palmeira Square, are consistently popular, if a little pricey - from £1.9 million to £4 million for a townhouse and from £800,000 to £1 million for a two-bedroom flat with sea views.

DID YOU KNOW? The Brighton i360 observation tower is to be completed in 2015. At 162 metres high, it will be Britain’s highest observation tower outside London – taller even than the London Eye!

DID YOU KNOW? Mount Everest was named after surveyor Sir George Everest who is buried in St Andrew’s Church in Hove near Brighton.

Homes on the seafront are cheaper though, for example you could pick up a twobedroom flat from £275,000, but homes facing the sea suffer a certain amount of wear and tear, and the council expects residents to keep them well maintained — which could mean regular bills that could run into several thousands of pounds depending on the size of the property.

Preston Park, which has its own station, hosts Victorian and Edwardian family homes which sell from £600,000. Tongdean Avenue and Tongdean Road in Hove also offer large, detached houses, many of which are being rebuilt to give them a more modern feel.

In the Fiveways area, three- and fourbedroom Victorian terrace homes sell for between £350,000 and £450,000.

The Kemp Town area to the east of the town centre is a little rough around the edges but certainly up and coming, with its own shopping area and a clutch of bars.

About three miles from central Brighton is Roedean, and although short on amenities itself, nearby Brighton Marina has restaurants and the beach is only a short walk away.

“People come here (Roedean) for the big houses and sea views because there aren’t many other places in Brighton where you can find them,” says Emma Bailey, of Winkworth estate agents.

CITY SPOTLIGHT - BRIGHTON

FAMOUS RESIDENTS Brighton has healthy heritage of musical, literary, sporting and television personalities. Here are just a few of the area’s most notable residents:

Norman Cook

DJ Norman Cook and his television presenter wife Zoe Ball are both synonymous with the city. Cook has had UK chart hits with The Housemartins, Beats International and most notably under the name Fatboy Slim. Cook has a star on the Walk of Fame and organised the Big Beat Boutique events.

Sally Gunnell

Chris Eubank

Retired British boxer Eubank held the world titles at both middleweight and super middleweight. His eccentric personality made him one of the most recognisable and much-loved faces in British sport in the 90s. Although born in Dulwich, Eubank has lived in Brighton for over 20 years.

Holly Willoughby

Gunnell is the only female British athlete to have won Olympic, World, European and Commonwealth titles and has since worked as a television pundit for the BBC. She lives in Steyning, just outside the city, with her husband and their three sons.

Television presenter Holly Willoughby was born in the city and was educated at Burgess Hill private school in West Sussex. She became the face of children’s TV in 00s, before going on to present Dancing on Ice and This Morning alongside Phillip Schofield.

Julian Clary

Laurence Olivier

Stand-up comedian and television personality Julian Clary was born in Surbiton, Surrey but lives in Brighton. Clary, who is openly gay, is famous for his camp style and use of inneundo in his comedy. In 2012 he won the 10th series of Celebrity Big Brother.

With twelve Oscar nominations and two wins, Laurence Olivier is generally considered to have been one of the greatest actors of the 20th century.

Olivier lived in the Royal Crescent area of the city between 19601978. He later died at his home in Ashurst, West Sussex in 1989.

Pride in the City Brighton has a thriving Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) community which is served by a number of bars, shops & night clubs and has often been dubbed the UK’s ‘gay capital’.

Photos: showtec.co.uk

According to the 2001 census Brighton and Hove had the highest proportion of same-sex households in the country at 1.29% (with some 2,544 persons saying that they headed up a household with a person of the same sex).

The 2011 census did not measure same-sex households, but revealed that the city had the highest number of civil partnerships in the country at 3.1%.

Brighton also has a gay and lesbian sports society called BLAGSS which offers a range of sporting activities to its 600+ members.

For more information on Brighton’s LGBT community visit http://zhooshbrighton. co.uk/ or http://www.brighton-pride.org/ news.php.

Every August the city also plays host to the annual Pride carnival, a celebration which attracts over 100,000 people and raises significant funds for local LGBT community groups and services. The carnival aims to show solidarity with those across the world still facing prejudice and persecution just for being who they are.

This year’s event saw performances by Blue and Katy-B, as well as a colourful parade showcasing 78 placards – one for each country where homosexually is still illegal.

Brighton has several support groups for its LGBT community, including the Brighton & Hove LGBT Switchboard which has been going since 1975, The Clare Project which aims to provide a safe and confidential meeting place for those exploring LGBT gender issues, and MindOut a mental health service run by and for LGBT people in the city.

DID YOU KNOW? One of the earliest stories of the LGBT community in the area is that of Angela Burdett-Coutts (1814-1906) who spent part of each year at the Royal Albion Hotel with her companion Hannah. The couple were devoted to each other, socially recognised as a pair, and even sent joint Christmas cards

BRIGHTON IN POPULAR CULTURE Brighton has strong historical links with literature and film, below we look at just some of the works inspired by the city:

Books

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen Lydia Bennet begs to be allowed to go to Brighton with her friend Mrs Forster.

There she will flirt with the officers of the militia, encamped on the edge of town. Mr Bennet gives his permission – disastrously. In Brighton she will meet Mr Wickham!

Brighton Rock by Graham Greene “Hale knew, before he had been in Brighton three hours that they meant to murder him.”

1930s Brighton, the domain of the vicious but doomed young gangster Pinkie, becomes the scene of terror in a story of salvation and damnation.

Tawdry and glittering, the resort seems an appropriate hell on earth.

The Snowman by Raymond Briggs In the still hours of a snowy morning, we see the city from a great height as a boy is taken into the air by a friendly snowman.

They fly past the Royal Pavillion and the (still intact) pier on the way to meet Father Christmas.

Dombey and Son by Charles Dickens Ailing Paul Dombey is sent to Brighton for the air, to be looked after by the “ogre and child queller” Mrs Pipchin and then to attend Dr Blimber’s appalling school.

On the beach he listens to the waves.

“The sea, what is that it keeps on saying?”

When Dombey’s wife Edith misbehaves he sends her to Brighton: an error of judgment.

Films

Quadrophenia (1979)

Oh What A Lovely War (1969)

Starring Phil Daniels, Mark Wingett and Sting. This iconic film is set in the 1960s, and is still synonymous with the city to this day. It features classic scenes shot in and around the seafronts and the downs.

Directed by Richard Attenborough and starring Dirk Bogarde, Laurence Olivier, Maggie Smith, Ralph Richardson, Vanessa Redgrave and many other British actors.

The First World War is imagined as an end of the pier attraction and features many different parts of the city in the 60s.

Mona Lisa (1986) Starring Bob Hoskins and directed by Neil Jordan. This award winning classic British Film has a pivotal scene filmed on the Palace Pier and scenes on the seafront and nearby Royal Albion Hotel.

Cassandras Dream (2007) Directed by Woody Allen and starring Ewan McGregor this film features scenes made on the seafront and in Black Rock.

DID YOU KNOW? Brighton’s Duke of York’s Picturehouse is the country’s oldest purpose-built cinema - dating back to 1910!

“I

t’s a depressing fact, that for every five houses we build in the UK, the equivalent of one house in waste materials gets put into landfill,” says architect Duncan Barker-Brown.

To prove the point, Baker-Brown and his students at the University of Brighton have just spent a year building a house almost entirely out of rubbish.

The two-storey building on the university grounds, is made up of old carpet tiles, ‘damaged and returned sheets of plasterboard’, wood offcuts, DVD cases, and perhaps most intriguingly of all – 20,000 toothbrushes.

The only new-elements to the property are triple-glazed windows, wiring and the plumbing.

“All the video rental shops seemed to be closing down while we were on site, so we took all the DVD cases and VHS tapes to use as insulation,” explains Barker-Brown.

“The 20,000 toothbrushes, meanwhile, came from a company that cleans planes after long-haul flights. This vast quantity represents the harvest of just four days, which would otherwise end up in landfill, or the sea.”

The architect says he and his students carried out the exercise in attempt to highlight the industry’s wasteful attitude towards waste.

“The current ethos in the industry is to throw loads of material at the building site, rather than risk having people hanging around if anything runs out. There has to be a way of storing and reusing all the surplus, rather than throwing it in landfill,” adds Barker-Brown.

aerospace quality home,” Campbell gives his reasons as to why recycled airliners can be superior candidates for conversion into homes:

Based outside of Portland, Oregon, Bruce Campbell is an engineer who converted this retired Boeing 727 commercial airliner into a fully functioning home with electricity and running water.

“When properly executed, the remarkable appeal of a retired jetliner as a home springs from the magnificent technology and beauty of the sculptured structure itself.”

Calling it an “used multimillion dollar

earthquake or storm. Their interior is easy to keep immaculately clean because they are sealed pressure canisters, so dust and insects can’t intrude from the outside. And they’re quite secure – when all the doors are closed and locked, they’re highly resistant to intruders.”

“Once the rows of seats are removed, their profound appeal as a family living environment becomes immediately obvious.”

Campbell bought the plane for about $100,000 back in 1999; with renovations and other expenses, the total project cost is estimated to be about $220,000.

With the Aircraft Fleet Recycling Association estimating that there will be over 500 aircrafts retired each year over the next two decades, there are a lot of airliners that could be transformed into excellent homes.
