NEW ROLES, NEW CHAPTERS, NEW BEGINNINGS

I am both excited and humbled to introduce myself as the Interim Managing Director of Fine & Country. Having been a dedicated member of the Fine & Country family for many years and an operator in the premium property market, I consider this role a true honour and a meaningful responsibility.

Our Managing Director, Nicky Stevenson, has been an inspiring leader since taking the helm in 2020, steering Fine & Country to remarkable achievements, including being named the ‘most recommended’* estate agency brand in the UK for the second consecutive year. Nicky is now beginning a beautiful new chapter as she welcomed her first child at the end of December and takes a well-deserved break. On behalf of the entire Fine & Country team, I’d like to extend our warmest wishes to Nicky and her growing family during this special time.

During Nicky’s maternity leave, the senior management and I are committed to ensuring her vision and the momentum she has created continue to thrive. We are focused on delivering the same excellence you have come to expect from Fine & Country.

Warm regards,

Jonathan Handford Interim Managing Director, Fine & Country

MARKET OVERVIEW

New year, resilient market

The housing market has begun the year in a strong position with high levels of choice and a strong sales pipeline. Modest price growth is expected to continue through 2025; however, realistic pricing will remain key.

ROBUST PRICES

The housing market has proved remarkably resilient in 2024, with prices defying predictions made at the start of the year. The average price of a property reached £269,426 in December, up 4.7% year-on-year, the strongest level of growth since October 2022 (Nationwide). In a housing market where every penny is important, more affordable areas performed the best. The largest annual growth in Q4 2024 was in Northern Ireland (7.1%), followed by the north (5.9%) and the West Midlands (4.7%). More expensive areas were slower, London had a 2% rise and the southeast 2.3%. Rightmove predicts that new seller asking prices will rise by 4% next year.

Across the prime markets of England and Wales the average price of a property is £1,173,152, down -6.8% from the same time last year.

ECONOMIC OUTLOOK

In the December meeting, the Bank of England held interest rates steady at 4.75% after it was revealed that inflation in November reached 2.6%, above the central bank’s target. Despite this, a recent survey of economists expected interest rates to be cut at least four times in 2025. However, financial markets are currently pricing in just two rate cuts for 2025. Policymakers will face pressure to balance concerns over slowing economic growth, with most economists anticipating inflation to stay between 2.5% and 3.5% throughout 2025. Interest rate cuts should have a knock-on effect on mortgage rates, improving affordability and stimulating market activity.

HIGHER FOR LONGER

Mortgage rates remained higher for longer than many expected in 2024, making borrowing more expensive for the two thirds of buyers who rely on home loans to purchase property.* The average two-year fixed rate mortgage is currently 5.48%, not much lower than 5.93% a year ago. Five-year fixed rate deals have only crept down too, from 5.55% to 5.25%.* With mortgage rates slightly elevated, buyers remain cautious and pricing correctly remains key. Almost one million property price reductions were recorded throughout 2024, the largest number on record. This number is 8.1% higher than in 2023 and 17.6% higher than in 2019 (TwentyEA).

SALES PIPELINE

There were 65,720 mortgage approvals in November, up 31% year-on-year (Bank of England). Over half (51%) of agents think that buyer confidence is improved compared to three months ago.* With rising confidence, new buyer demand up by 13% year-onyear (Rightmove).

The housing market finished 2024 strongly, with more sales being agreed ahead of the stamp duty deadline. Buyers and sellers re-entered the market in 2024 after postponing moving decisions due to higher mortgage rates. An increase in homes available for sale boosted choice, leading to the number of sales agreed being 22% higher than the same time last year (Rightmove). Looking ahead, there are 283,000 sales worth £104bn progressing their way towards completion in the first half of 2025, the largest pipeline in four years and a rise of 30% compared to last year (Zoopla).

A STRATEGY for SUCCESS

It is a case of presenting and promoting your property as if it were our own”

At Fine & Country we understand moving home is one of the most important decisions you can make; your home is both a financial and emotional investment.

We take the instruction to sell your home as a privilege, an honour and as a very serious commitment to you. Through excellent marketing, we deliver an efficient sales process and a courteous, careful service.

People buy as much into the lifestyle of the property as they do the bricks and mortar. Exclusive properties require a bespoke and imaginative promotional approach. Recognising this, we have designed a unique and successful marketing strategy, enhancing the lifestyle of the property.

The widespread exposure of your property is also crucial. In today’s market not only is the mobility of buyers greater than ever, but also the ways in which they may access information.

Your prospective buyer could come from, quite literally, anywhere – through local and regional marketing, through national newspapers and magazines or, increasingly, internationally using different online platforms such as the Fine & Country website or social media.

Instruct us and you could benefit from our knowledge, experience, expertise and contacts and our well trained, educated and courteous staff. You are assisted, advised and informed through each stage of the whole transaction.

THE ROLE OF A FOREIGN EXCHANGE SPECIALIST IN OVERSEAS PROPERTY TRANSACTIONS

Buying a home abroad is a significant investment with unique challenges. Differences in buying procedures, legal systems, language and currency can make the process more complex compared to the UK. However, do not let these obstacles deter you, we are here to help.

It is essential to assemble a team of experts early on, including a foreign exchange specialist, estate agent and lawyer. Fluctuations in exchange rates present a significant risk to your budget, so it is crucial to manage them effectively; even minor changes in exchange rates can have a substantial impact on the cost of your property purchase.

“There is no one size fits all strategy for mitigating currency risk, that’s why our personal approach tailors our solutions to your needs”

Working with a currency specialist

Overseas buyers often fall into two traps regarding exchange rates: hoping for favourable movement when the time comes to pay, or relying on unreliable forecasts, both risky strategies. A currency specialist offers a proactive solution by leveraging market insights and tools to manage currency risk effectively.

Your trusted currency partner

Empowered by an understanding of how exchange rates can cause the price of your property to fluctuate by the minute, you can take proactive steps to control its impact by working with us.

Our currency partner is a specialist in international payments with competitive exchange rates. They have helped thousands of people secure the keys to their dream overseas home, a lifeenhancing service that has helped them earn an ‘Excellent’ Trustpilot rating.

Forward contract

A forward contract allows you to secure a current exchange rate for an international payment on a specified date in the future, without needing to have all your funds available. This ability to secure the exchange rate for your property purchase between making an offer and completing makes it a popular tool to protect against currency movement, as demonstrated by this quick example:

After finding your dream property in France, the pound sits at €1.17, meaning your €800,000 property costs around £683,760. Your currency specialist suggests locking in this rate with a forward contract due to currency volatility. Three months later, the rate drops to €1.12, saving you £30,500 compared to the current rate had you not secured the forward contract.

It is worth noting, however, that if the rate improves in your favour, you will not be able to take advantage of that movement.

Market orders

If you have flexibility in your budget, it is worth considering market orders. With market orders, you can set target rates above (limit order) or below (stop-loss order) the current market level. A limit order ensures a higher rate for nonurgent payments, while a stop-loss order prevents the market from dropping below a certain level. You can also combine these tools to plan for various budget scenarios.

Ongoing support

Your exposure to currency risk does not end as soon as your purchase is complete; it will also impact the value of ongoing financial requirements like pensions, income transfers and property-related bills. Your account manager can mitigate this risk by fixing rates for regular payments, ensuring consistency and peace of mind. Additionally, they can assist in setting up fee-free automated payments according to your preferred frequency, adding convenience to the process.

A unique property in a delightful location offers a unique opportunity for someone looking for a special home they can update and call their own.

There is therefore the ability to continue with the annexe as a separate entity for inter-generational living or an income-generating holiday let or incorporating it into the original house to create a superb five bedroom residence.

Whether you are looking for a permanent home or a characterful holiday and weekend retreat, this superbly updated and refurbished four-storey Victorian seaside townhouse could tick all the right boxes. It includes plenty of

Potential and location combine in this fascinating property boasting a unique pedigree. Burnham offers a fabulous opportunity for buyers to remodel, update and possibly extend to create a bespoke residence in an amazing situation with frontage onto the River Lune. By way of a historical note, built in the 18th Century, the impressive Halton Hall once stood on the banks of the River Lune in this very spot but was demolished in the 1930s. The site was sold off in plots and a series of individual homes were built as the years went by, each one enjoying a south-facing aspect with river frontage and views to the opposite bank.

THE FINE & COUNTRY FOUNDATION FIGHTING HOMELESSNESS

FINE & COUNTRY FOUNDATION RAISES £136,027 IN 2024, REACHING £1 MILLION MILESTONE

Celebrating its 10th anniversary, 2024 was a landmark year for The Fine & Country Foundation. Over the past decade, The Foundation has provided crucial support to charities and organisations combating poverty and homelessness. Last year marked two significant milestones: raising £13 ,027 and surpassing a cumulative total of £1 million raised since its inception.

These achievements were only made possible through the dedication of the Fine & Country network, whose tireless fundraising efforts contributed to the success. Fundraising activities included a wide variety of events ranging from golf days, marathons and Sleepout events to cake sales and many other creative initiatives.

Highlights of 2024 Fundraising Events

February: Big Sleepout

Fine & Country Leamington Spa kicked off the year with the Big Sleepout. Braving cold February nights, the team spent a night outdoors on the grounds of All Saints Parish Church, raising £1,285 while gaining insight into the challenges faced by the homeless.

March: Silent Auction

During the Fine & Country International Annual Conference in London, a silent auction raised over £1,458. Generous donations funded items such as new ovens, towels, bedding and food packages for those in need.

March: Everest Base Camp Trek

Lee Armstrong and Bert Rogers undertook a 15-day expedition to Everest Base Camp, raising £7,500. Nepal holds special significance for The Foundation, which, in 2018, helped rebuild Thangpalkot1, a village devastated by an earthquake.

May: Grand Union Canal Challenge

Jon Cooke, Trustee of The Fine & Country Foundation, and Sean Newman, joined by current age group World and European Duathlon Champion Craig Dyce, covered an impressive 15 miles over five days along the Grand nion Canal Towpath. Despite facing the physical toll of sore legs and strapped-up ankles, the trio persevered with their efforts, raising £7,395 in the process.

July: Golf Day

The summer months brought sunshine and camaraderie as Fine & Country members gathered at the Leamington & County Golf Club, raising £2,075 during a fun-filled charity golf event.

October: Coffee Morning

During October, Fine & Country offices hosted coffee mornings, welcoming the public into their offices to enjoy homemade baked treats and refreshments. Decorating their offices with balloons and bunting, participating Fine & Country licensees raised over £1,300.

December: Carols by Candlelight

Spreading some festive cheer, The Fine & Country Foundation hosted their annual Carols by Candlelight event in collaboration with the iconic King’s College Cambridge. The event raised an incredible £18,353, which was donated to Emmaus Cambridge, Jimmy’s Cambridge, Wintercomfort and Cambridge Cyrenians, all offering vital services to homeless people across the Cambridgeshire region.

Grant Funding in 2024

In 2024, The Foundation awarded over £95,400 to 64 global charities through its grant schemes. During the autumn grants, 37 charities were allocated funding, totalling £54,400, while in spring, 27 charities received a share of £41,000. The Foundation’s Grant Programme is dedicated to offering financial assistance to non-profit organisations, focusing specifically on supporting charities in the UK and abroad in the ongoing battle against homelessness and poverty. This funding provides crucial support to these charities, enabling them to sustain their vital community work.

Jon Cooke, Trustee of The Fine & Country Foundation, says: “The donations and grants that The Foundation provide are vital to many of the non-profit organisations fighting poverty and homelessness. The incredible support from our network and the public’s generosity has been instrumental in reaching these milestones. We are proud of what we’ve accomplished together and look forward to continuing this important work.”

As The Foundation celebrates a decade of impactful work, it invites everyone to join its mission.
