Hayloft Mews – style comes as standard

The Point, Upper Drive, Hove – Get straight to The Point!

Mishon Mackay’s New Homes delight viewers

H

ayloft Mews is a stylish and contemporary scheme of just four 2-bedroom homes. Set behind the villas of Ditchling Road, and close to popular Fiveways, Hayloft Mews offers a tranquil courtyard setting, and all the benefits of contemporary eco-construction.

Zinc roofs, photovoltaic solar panels and masses of insulation in the walls and roof deliver low running costs and low maintenance required, ideal for busy professionals who have better things to do at the weekends than DIY! This is a boutique development of a former shepherd’s croft, which stood on the site since the times when this part of Brighton was rolling Downland dotted with grazing sheep. As Brighton developed in the Victorian era, this little croft fell into disuse, and then became occupied as a blacksmiths and a series of workshops. Its history has appealed to buyers seeking something a little more unusual.

The layout of the two remaining homes is well-planned. The entrance hall has a vaulted ceiling which makes a stunning welcome. There are two

bedrooms and a bathroom on the entrance level. Stairs lead down to the garden level and the living space.

The light and airy living room features a wood burner, and leads through sliding doors to the generous west-facing garden. The understairs cupboard contains a high performance hot water system, plus plenty of room for additional storage. The kitchen has plenty of room for a dining table, and leads to an east-facing courtyard and then to an underground storage room, perfect for garden furniture.

The price is £375,000. Contact Mishon Mackay New Homes for full details and an appointment to view.

The luxury apartments at The Point in Hove’s Upper Drive are progressing rapidly, and due to the clement weather the London-based developer has even reported that the build programme is ahead of schedule.

30% of these beautiful apartments have been reserved already, with completion expected in spring 2015.

PROPERTY MATTERS

FACT, NOT FICTION

Relative values

I

n any market, the conversation often revolves around the likely future of house prices. Will they go up, will they go down, will they remain stable?

Even the most credible authorities tend to disagree on the direction of property prices and sales volume, so where does that leave the humble consumer? Baffled!

The problem is the source of data that is used to make assumptions about the market is fickle. For example, you could look at the latest Land Registry figures. These record the volumes and prices of sales that completed up to about four months after the sale was arranged. But a lot can happen in four months – and 120 days of media influence can make a vast difference to buyer sentiment.

You could look at the figures supplied by property portals such as Rightmove. These can be a more accurate reflection of the current situation because they interpret the relationship between the changes in the number of properties on the market and average asking prices, and the number of buyers registering within the previous month. Of course, asking prices are no reflection of sale prices! Then there are the figures provided by various estate agency chains. However, some of these can be biased because that agency might only specialise in a specific sector.

As estate agents, we have to be acutely aware of what is happening in the Brighton and Hove market at a given point in time. Ultimately, we find that the most reliable indicators lie in our ability to interpret the needs and comments of our buyers at local level. After all, it is today’s buyers who determine the current value of your property!

he value of property owned by buy-to-let landlords will break the £1 trillion barrier by the middle of next year.

The prediction has come from lender Kent Reliance.

Its analysis of current market trends suggests that the value of buy-to-let property has grown by £109.5bn in the last year to reach £930.7bn.

Longer term, the value of landlords’ property is now three and a half times its level at the start of 2001, when Kent Reliance put its value at £262.1bn.

Most of the current value of buy-to-let residential property (41%) is in London.

Overall, landlords’ earnings are put at Private £44.8bn in the year to June, equivalent to nearly half the UK’s total annual household renting isn ’t expenditure on food. a fl a s h in Landlords have benefited from the recovery in house prices since 2009, which the pan has pushed their wealth to within touching distance of £1 trillion.

But as the sector’s value marches upwards, the main impetus has come from the growth in the number of households as demand from tenants continues to climb.

“Private renting isn’t a flash in the pan, and 80% of new households since 2001 have been accounted for in rental properties.”

THE LANDLADY

BUILDING OPINIONS

Power to the Dolmus….

Robert Nemeth on Riverside Wharf

’m aware that I’m banging on somewhat about how marvellous Turkey is, but there are many things that are so much better there than they are here. For a start, the local market every Saturday is what one could genuinely call a ‘farmers’ market’. Rows of delicious, yet often oddly-shaped fruit and vegetables at bargain prices, is surely what a farmers market is meant to be.

All the goods are totally seasonal too, so you can forget about cooking cauliflower cheese in the middle of summer...

As well as a respectful admiration of mutant root vegetables, I have developed a great fondness for the Turkish public transport system.

The Dolmus is the small mini-bus that runs half-hourly between my village and the town three miles away. Dolmuses run all over Turkey, efficiently transporting all manner of villagers to the town and back, gnarled mutant carrots safely secured in their shopping trollies. Due to an initial bewilderment with the timetable, I would often brave the half-hour walk into town, which, with hindsight, was a very heroic endeavour indeed.

It is, in fact, optimistic to imagine that on foot, you will reach town at all, given the propensity of the average Turkish motorist to try to mow you down, no matter how far into the hedgerow you try to squash yourself. The man astride a tractor with no lights and a trailer-load of unwieldy fir tree cuttings is danger enough. However, the maniac in the lump of rusty metal ill-advisedly overtaking the tractor on a blind bend is an added bonus.

The Dolmus is one of my favourite things about having a home in Turkey. It is uncomplicated, reliable, and certainly reaches parts that would become isolated without it. Often, in the summer, I have been the only person waiting at the tiny, silent bus stop in my village, to catch the last midnight Dolmus to a late night party in town. The Dolmus is without prejudice. It keeps the very lifeblood – not to mention ugly root vegetables – of Turkey circulating. I love the Dolmus so much I can happily ignore the fact it absolutely never arrives at the bus stop at the time it says on the timetable, but without exception, arrives precisely seven minutes late, hence my initial bewilderment with the timetable.

The Dolmus driver is to be equally praised for his devotion to public service. He will happily stop for a passenger who is not waiting at an official bus stop. This is most fortunate, as most locals seem to be at best reluctant or at worst violently opposed to standing at official bus stops. From what I can determine, they seem to prefer to position themselves in the most dangerous roadside position they can find in order to hail the Dolmus.

Here in the UK, home of ‘Stepford’ vegetables and over cautious ‘health and safety’ measures, the average person would not dare stand anywhere other than the official bus stop. You consider yourself lucky to be allowed on to the bus even at an official stop and woe-betide should you arrive at the stop half a second after they’ve closed the doors. Especially if you resemble a root vegetable …

I 

THE LANDLADY

 ROBERT NEMETH ’ve enjoyed Littlehampton for years and have always felt a little let down by the rows of Barratt-type developments that line the River Arun, the town’s centre piece. They are by no means offensive, and no doubt make delightful homes, but simply don’t inspire.

Riverside Wharf raises the bar somewhat.

This modern development replaces a small stretch of Victorian industrial buildings by the town’s footbridge. More accurately, it part-replaces, as some of the best bits of the old buildings’ flint and brick facades have been incorporated into the new glass, zinc and cedar structure.

The scheme consists of five three-storey houses (costing £650-700k) that float above a ground-floor shared car park. They were completed this year to the designs of Hampshire-based architect John Pardey who, more locally, has designed a number of key elements at the University of Sussex and also houses on Withdean Road Within Riverside Wharf, there is considerable blurring between interior and exterior spaces. Glass expanses give views across the ever-changing river and balconies jut out in all sorts of different places. The cavities beneath the building’s sawtooth roof have been incorporated into upstairs bedrooms rather than turned into lofts.

It would be unfair to say that Brighton and Hove has nothing to offer when it comes to good modern architecture but there are sadly few examples. ‘One Hove Park’

by Yelo Architects and Hyde Housing is at least looking promising.

Littlehampton is a fraction of the size though and now has five structures to shout about – all by Jane Wood. www.buildingopinions.com robert@buildingopinions.com

SLEEP TIGHT

Never underestimate the importance of a good night’s sleep – the experts at Brighton Bed Centre are here to help

Y

our bed is the most important piece of furniture in your home. It’s not just where you start and finish every day; when you have a wonderfully comfortable bed and sleep well, it allows you to be your best, all day long.

If it’s not right for you and you’re sleeping badly, it can have a negative impact on your every waking moment, whether at work

or with your family and friends.

And you spend up to eight hours a night in it. That’s a third of your life!

Just think about that for a moment. That’s probably more than you spend on your sofa, at the dining table or in your car.

Possibly all three combined.

Your bed is crucial. Whether you’re tired at the end of a hard day, in need of warmth and security whilst recovering from illness, want a nice

• LATEST HOMES 11

comfortable sanctuary to read your latest bestseller, or for a more romantic interlude – your bed is always there for you. But how often do you actually think about it?

In Hove, there is a company that has spent a very long time thinking about beds.

The Brighton Bed Centre (in Portland Road), is an independent, family run specialist, which has been on site since 1967, so they obviously know their stuff.

What’s truly exceptional, however, is that they actually handcraft their own mattresses and divans on site!

Since 1987 they’ve been going about their business, hand-making the best quality beds and selling them direct to the public. That means top quality, locally made, hand crafted mattresses and beds at factory direct prices, right here on your doorstep, and those in the know keep going back and recommending friends and family, time and time again.

In fact so much so that they’ve had hundreds of beds shipped out of the country; regularly to France, Spain, Turkey, Cyprus and now even as far away as the United Arab Emirates, Los Angeles and even Australia! That means that there are some people so in love with their beds that they’ll do anything to get the right bed in the

www.latesthomes.co.uk •

right place. Mind you, that’s partly because they are so reasonable in the first place.

Brighton Bed Centre really make choosing the correct bed a breeze, too. With friendly, knowledgeable staff (informed, but never too pushy), and a huge range to try out, it’s easy.

They also have an enormous choice of bedsteads, sofa-beds and furniture, all at great prices; they really do take care of you.

Of course, because they are made there, locally, you are helping local families and the local economy. Not to mention reducing your carbon footprint.

Also, because of their fast free delivery, you can get your new bed nice and quick, sometimes even the same day – and it only costs £20 to get rid of your old one.

They even do special sizes.

So if you want a good quality, handmade bed made with luxuriant fillings, at a fraction of the price that you would pay elsewhere, try the Brighton Bed Centre.

It really is a little gem for quality and service; beds cost less at Brighton Beds.

COVER STORY

CHAMPIONS OF DESIGN

What’s hot! Kitchen and bathroom trends for 2015...

A

t Parker Bathrooms & Kitchens – the future is here! NOT your bog-standard bathroom... if you will excuse the pun!

DESIGN & TECHNICAL INNOVATIONS Parker Bathrooms and Kitchens, the family-run showroom at Seven Dials, takes pride in being a cutting-edge supplier of the latest home products. A major trend that is driving design in both kitchens and bathrooms are interactive tech appliances. Parkers are constantly updating their showroom to reflect the latest in home innovations and here are a few of the pioneering trends and products that they source from quality manufacturers in the UK, Italy and Germany.

▼ Kitchens A move towards more time and labour-saving devices in the kitchen makes the experience simplified and more rewarding. As an example, the future kitchen will be able to recognise a family member upon entry, start the coffee, and project the morning newspaper or breakfast recipe on to the wall!

Parker’s are leading the marketplace in innovative technical advances in better high-gloss or satin-finish cabinets that are cost competitive, functional and very stylish.

Chromotherapy, the use of ambient mood lighting, is part and parcel of a Parker design – whether that involves LED recess or up-lighting, or built-in coloured lighting that can be set by remote or time controls.

A popular choice are built-in ovens that are

self-cleaning and able to cook different foods at the same time without cross contamination of food or smell. The same oven programmes itself to cook your food just to your liking – with dozens of pre-sets that mean your pizza or roast will be cooked to absolute perfection.

And all of this can be organised from an intelligent interactive control panel.

Shown here, in one of our latest kitchen designs, is the new kitchen must-have hot tap that immediately dispenses filtered, boiling water. Tap on the worktop, tank underneath, with vacuum insulation ensures that the tap’s standby usage is just three pence a day.

Today’s tech designs include motion-activated taps and lighting, self-cleaning WCs and baths that play music from your smartphone For even more efficiency, choose a COMBI tank, a single, amazingly economical way to produce both hot and boiling water.

Hot water, exactly when you want it – for boiling pasta, eggs, potatoes, blanching asparagus, steaming vegetables, skinning tomatoes, sterilising baby dummies and, of course, perfect for a quick coffee or tea.

• LATEST HOMES 12

www.latesthomes.co.uk •

There is also a trend for more built-in electronic wine coolers, coffee makers and induction hobs as standard, as shown.

To add individuality to your room, Parkers have introduced digitally printed splashbacks and radiators, from a selection of designs – or even your own design or photograph.

▼ Bathrooms With less time in the kitchen, more time is being freed up to relax in the bathroom, with Parkers’ clients wanting to make more of the room as an ultimate at-home retreat. Features that Parkers regularly include are mirrored cabinets that come with built-in demisters to prevent steaming up. Other cabinets have sensor-activated LED lighting and are Bluetooth-enabled so you can hook up your iPod and listen to your favourite tunes as you get ready.

Today’s tech designs include motion-activated taps and lighting, wireless showers, self-cleaning WCs, and baths that play music from your tablet or smartphone. Waterproof televisions can even be installed so you never need to miss your favourite programme again. For a spa-like sanctuary, check out the latest shower cabins, wetrooms, saunas and steam showers that come with aromatherapy, hydro-massage jets, audio systems and touch-screen control. Many of these can be activated from the comfort of your bed by use of your smartphone or tablet. And don’t worry if you’ve just finished installing your bathroom – many of these can be retro-fitted to your existing bathroom, so come into the Dyke Road showroom and the team will be happy to advise you.

RESPONSIBILITY With new technology comes greater responsibility and Parkers love the rise in water-saving solutions such as digitally controlled shower flow rates and timer settings to prevent

012_013_LH706_ParkerBathroom_011_LS466_interview 21/11/2014 13:21 Page 3

teenagers taking too long! They regularly supply digital shower options for consumers who want precise control on temperature, conservation settings and ease of use. The appliances included in this Hove bathroom are an eco flush 4.5 and 3 litre toilet and eco tap.

Also seen here is a revolutionary type of flooring – imitation tiles that provide water resistance yet look exactly like wood flooring, and a chic, minimalist wetroom shower that needs no screen enclosures.

A Parker design means using quality, sustainable products of European origin that last the test of time.

Sourcing from manufacturers that have a proven low environmental impact Parker’s are able to bring you quality products that are advanced solutions in water and energy saving. They have a wide range of sanitary ware, brassware and other bathroom accessories that have awards for both design and clean production without compromising on functionality.

At Parker Bathrooms & Kitchens we are experts on the new planning codes for sustainable homes and can guide you on the products to comply within regulations.

For example the W+W toilet/basin has received nine different awards for design and innovation. Its refill system filters the basin’s water for reuse in the flush cistern and its L-shaped design form makes it a great idea for smaller bathrooms.

Visit the showroom to see a toilet with an integrated bowl and cistern that save both space and water.

A wide selection of high performance shower heads that use air flow to increase pressure without increased water flow mean a long hot, hard shower need not cost a fortune.

At Parker Bathrooms & Kitchens we can prove to you that environmentally conscious design simply is the right choice to make – ingenious and beautiful.

Then there's the very quaint, very British stories we read about. Like the piece in the Independant about rural living in the UK. Or the article in this week's Express about how having an orchard on your land can crank up the price of your home, make you a profit and engage you in the local community around harvest time. There are countless pieces written about the plethora of historic homes in this country, and how its possible these days to move into an actual castle, if you so desire. The cottages and regency houses in Brighton alone come with tales of past inhabitants, from politicians to poets.

READ ALL ABOUT IT Hot off the press! Andrew Bullock and co-host Simone Thorogood are fast becoming property news aficionados

Andrew: Every week, whilst prepping the next episode of Latest Homes Live, Simone, Andy Garth and I sift through the tabloids and extract some interesting topics from the press to chit chat about in the studio, with our guests. This section of the show is easy to produce – simply because there's a neverending string of stories out there discussing the world of property. We are never short of topics!

This is another reason why the Latest Homes brand, which is now very much a multi-media platform (online, on TV, in print and via social media), continues to flourish. The world of real estate is a constant one. As long as humans inhabit the earth, we will need a place to hang

Choosing a home is something I look forward to ... our hats. Unless, of course, the planet is overtaken by outdoor dwelling prehistoric beasts who destroy all of our houses and force us to live in caves again. Even then, there will be a need, surely, for Latest Caves Live!

I digress – rather strangely. I'm basically saying that the world of property is a universal one, and it is written about constantly. It changes, varies and grows daily. There is always something to talk about. It has its own sub-genre of news.

We've covered some interesting items on the show, in terms of what's in the headlines right now. Are houses harder to sell if they come with a dark story? Are sky-scraper penthouses

Watch Latest Homes Live on

built in the shape of a sausage ugly or inspired? What did the neighbours tell the press when Hugh Grant moved out of their neighbourhood? Would you live in an eco home built in the middle of the ocean?

Who does the most housework – husbands or wives?

This is the fun side of the news. There is, of course, a more serious angle. We've looked at stories such as the one about a mother and son who fell out over the deeds to their deceased relative's home, left to both of them in a will without specifying percentages. It destroyed their relationship. It's sad. A couple of weeks ago was the story of the council tenant who illegally sublet his council home, only for him to face prosecution due to the hindrance he caused others in need for state housing. This week we looked at the couple whose house sale fell at the last hurdle due to money launderers finding a loophole in European property law, consequently shattering their dreams of a quiet retirement.

Simone: The news is part of the show that not only informs us, but informs our viewers as well. We do it to keep you guys at home up to date with this ever-altering area of life.

Sometimes, something in the property world in Brighton alone will shift whilst we are taping a new episode of Latest Homes Live.

It's really fascinating actually. I enjoy the stories of the people who take on exciting design projects and realise a vision that they have always dreamt of. It's very inspirational to see how these people make property history in a particular area of the country.

On this week's show, we dissected a story about the pressure to buy before you hit 30.

The statistics showed an almost frightening percentage of people who categorise homeowning as just as important as a fruitful career or getting married and having children. This, I suppose, can be seen as both ambitious and admirable, but also a little unfair. It's unfair on YOU to put yourself under that much pressure, if it’s not a realistic goal to have in the foreseeable future. Why do it to yourself if you're not quite there yet?

Investing in property should be an exciting moment in your life, that you can enjoy comfortably. Choosing a home that you can wholeheartedly make your own is something I look forward to – especially after all I have learned making Latest Homes Live. But I look forward to doing it when I'm ready. There's no self-pressure imparted by me. Yet this is a topic we read about in the news on the show week in week out.

Why not join the debate yourself by tweeting us at @latesthomes? And tune in next week for more current affairs from Brighton's property market and beyond.

LIVING LIVELY

This month, Brighton Accommodation Agency’s company director Dan Lyons discusses students, and the effect they have on Brighton and Hove

“

It’s well reported within Brighton that the students have changed the demographic irrevocably, destroying the fragile balance that once existed between tenants and residential property owners; that they are the root of all anti-social behaviour and the sole reason we need street cleaners. However, I think that this is a subject that needs a little more investigation.

At present, Brighton and Hove has a population of around 275,000, and a student population of around 40,000. This equates to around 14.5% of the city’s population. They also have the bulk of the city’s disposable income, as they have the least amount of responsibilities and financial commitments.

Can you imagine Brighton and Hove without this free spending populace? In a period of hard business and recession, can you imagine how many more pubs and clubs, shops and cafés would be shutting down – small businesses that rely whole heartedly on the micro economies that prop up Hanover, Coldean, Lewes Road and the London Road areas? The taxi drivers and bus drivers who rely on ferrying them around, and the suppliers to the various shops and pubs that they frequent? The clothes shops, the music shops, the off licences?

Let’s also now include all the maintenance teams and contractors that work in the student housing sector, and you can see it really is quite important that Brighton and Hove not only keeps the students coming in, but keeps them well housed and entertained as well. In my humble view, Brighton and Hove without

Students bring culture and diversity to any city students would be, with the greatest of respect, Hastings; lacking the culture and diversity the students bring to any city.

They are high maintenance, opinionated, sometimes a bit precious and forthright – as I’m sure I was at one point as well – but they are also vibrant, interesting, ambitious and exciting young people, people we should be proud have chosen our city over others, people who we hope will go on to do great things.

It’s quite a thing at the moment to look at the negative side of everything, from immigration to the economy, and disregard the positives – the genuine colour and positivity that they bring. The local council have managed to embrace the money making potential of the students by taxing the landlords with various licence schemes whilst simultaneously running down their reputation within the city. Oh, and the parking ... and so we should thank our lucky stars for, at the very least, the economic benefits we all get.

Brighton Accommodation Agency has been working very hard this year to make sure that we help with the housing side of things, pushing our landlords to increase the quality of the properties and our overall service, and keeping both landlords and students in line.

This year we have, as we always have, increased our managed portfolio of student houses, and let them all at good profitable rents. We are looking to expand on this in the coming year and see 2015 as a year where we can really strive forward and become a leader in this market.

If you have a student house or a portfolio of student houses, then we would love to have the opportunity to work with you. Please feel free to contact the office on the details below, and we look forward to January when the student season kicks in again.
