ESTATE AGENTS www.whathouse.coM OCT 2014 | 3

significant number of visitors to The WhatHouse? Show were people looking to move to a new home for their retirement. This reflected a growing trend for people to swap their long-term family home for a new, lowmaintenance property in later life. One thing I learnt from that weekend was that the buzzword “downsizing” is being usurped by another, “right-sizing”. The implication being that not all retirees are moving from a sprawling pile into a small apartment; there are many who may be moving from a cramped older property into a well-designed, spacious new home that benefits from an efficient, modern layout and plenty of useful storage that their previous home never had. Many older buyers can see the benefits of buying a purpose-built new home for their retirement – low maintenance, low running costs, security, emergency care on call, to name just four – but are reluctant to move somewhere smaller because they think they won’t have room for the treasured possessions they’ve accumulated over their lifetime – items of furniture, objets d’art and mementoes. “Down-sizing”, I suppose, has the connotation of moving somewhere unable to provide enough room to house these things comfortably. “Right-sizing”, on the other hand, implies moving somewhere that is capacious enough to accommodate these possessions and

to give the buyer the lifestyle options they want, which might include room for friends and family to stay or to have a hobby room or study area. By the way, if the phrase “retirement homes” conjures up images of infirm, lonely and poorly cared-for people sitting silently in a room that hasn’t been decorated for 40 years, think again. Some of the ageexclusive developments I saw at the Show have amazing facilities, such as bars, restaurants, spas, gyms and swimming pools, which many luxury hotels would be proud of, and the residents themselves organise a range of events and clubs that would leave people half their age exhausted. They say 60 is the new 40 and it appears that now is a great time to retire – I wish I could afford to!

Say What?

Happy house-hunting.

The recent market upturn has resulted in increased demand across much of the UK, with a lack of resale stock sparking greater competition for the best properties. Despite this, it is dangerous to simply assume your property will sell quickly in its current condition, so here’s a few tips to help make your home appealing to potential buyers and achieve the best possible price. Create a good first impression If you could buy any of the properties on your road, would you pick yours? An attractive exterior is all about the detail – have the windows been cleaned, the lawn mowed and the borders tidied up? Creating a good first impression when potential buyers arrive will stand you in good stead for the rest of the viewing. Keep it simple The need to create a dream environment for potential buyers can sometimes result in sellers feeling pressured to give their property a distinctive and expensive new look. It is worth remembering that every pound you spend on cosmetic improvements will eat into your profits, and that buyers will be imagining what they can do with the space, rather than judging your interior design skills. De-clutter Focus on creating a blank canvas and making the most of the space by removing any unnecessary clutter. Everybody accumulates a certain amount over the years, but now may well be the time to rid yourself of belongings that have no real place in your home. It’s time to be ruthless – whether that means throwing things out, giving them to charity or even

bringing in the professionals. Let the light in Natural light is one of the biggest selling points of any property, so don’t leave yourself in the dark. If you don’t have huge panoramic windows, consider repainting troublesome rooms in lighter colours and removing heavy curtains. If artificial light is your only option, it may be time to replace energy-saving light bulbs with higher wattage alternatives for a short while. Keep your pets away If at all possible, remove pets from the property while viewings are taking place – dogs are not always man’s best friend

when it comes to selling your home. You should also ensure your property is banished of all pet odours. Get out of the house Let your estate agent take the lead by vacating your property while viewings are taking place. Eating your dinner in front of the TV while buyers are being shown around can create both a distraction and an awkward atmosphere. Buyers are more likely to thoroughly inspect your property and explore its potential if they feel at ease.

LAND & PROPERTY AUCTIONEERS

CELEBRATING 25 YEARS ! With property auctions becoming more popular than ever helped by

25th Anniversary this year, have long been market leaders in this field.

programmes such as ‘Homes under the Hammer’ there has never been a better time to consider buying or selling your property at auction.

Here, we talk to one of the companies Directors, Sam Kinloch, to find out more about why you should be seriously considering taking the plunge.

With business fundamentally about weighing risk against profit, with the right knowledge buying property at auction to renovate or let could be a good bet. High risk strategies may produce an overnight fortune, while lower risk strategies can provide a relatively secure income along with capital growth in years to come.

‘With thirty two separate auctions a year covering Kent to Cornwall I am always staggered by the huge variety of properties we see on a daily basis. It has been my pleasure to be involved in the sale of some truly fabulous properties over the last decade including Sea Forts, Nuclear Bunkers, Stately Homes and many many more’.

Founded in 1989 to supply a high profile auctioneering facility to private clients, independent estate agents, corporate and statutory bodies Clive Emson Auctioneers, who celebrate their

He added, ‘It is important not to pigeonhole auctions as solely a method of selling unusual or problematic property, far from it! While these do sell remarkably well it is important to stress that the large majority of our business comes from selling more traditional lots. With the better availability of funds, lack of supply and continuation of low interest rates fuelling an already strong market where better to put your hard earned cash?

Sam Kinloch, Emma Attrell & James Emson

Whether you’re looking for somewhere to fix up or wanting to achieve a good return on your investment, a Clive Emson Auction may just be the place to do it’.

“It is important not to pigeonhole auctions as solely a method of selling unusual or problematic properties.”

With the next Sussex and Surrey auction being held at the Hilton Brighton Metropole on 22nd September please contact the Clive Emson team on 01273 571853 should you need any more information on buying or selling at auction or if you would like a copy of the current auction catalogue.

Alex and Valerie’s careers in education had led them to many areas around the country, including London, the Isle of Man and Wales, before they moved to Lancashire, where they remained for 19 years. No longer dictated to by their jobs, the couple could decide for themselves where they wanted to enjoy their retirement years. Alex says: “We were very happy in Lancashire but had been considering a move to retirement living for some time. We had originally planned to move to one of the eight Church of England retirement homes but there can be a long wait for an apartment. We visited the Church of England home in Worthing and decided it was the place for us when we noticed that Churchill Retirement Living was developing just next door. “We were keen to make the move now while we still had the get up and go to do it and consider it to be one of the best moves we have made. We loved to walk in the Lancashire and Lake District countryside: here in Worthing we can enjoy the South Downs and walks along the beach. We also enjoy an ice cream on the pier or a trip to the local county cricket ground. “Having worked in boarding schools, Valerie and I are very used to having other people around and are enjoying getting to know our fellow owners, but also having time to ourselves in our new apartment.” To facilitate the move from their previous home, Alex and Valerie used Churchill Retirement Living’s Selling Made Easy service. Alex continues: “Coming to Cambridge Lodge meant a move of 330 miles from Lancashire to Worthing, but the Selling Made Easy service was very helpful. The move was stressful, but

...Buying a new home is a big decision, so you’ll want to know that your property is of good quality and your investment well protected. Only builders approved and registered by NHBC can offer Buildmark, and they must build to the detailed technical standards we have been developing and updating for more than 75 years. It will give you peace of mind to know that all new homes with NHBC’s Buildmark have been independently inspected at key stages during construction, and come with 10 years’ warranty and insurance. This gives you the reassurance that, on the rare occasion when something does go wrong, we’re here to help you.

So, before you buy a new home, make sure it has Buildmark.
