BRIGHTON PROSPERS IN NEW GROUNDSURE RESEARCH
utside of London, the cities of Brighton and Hove, Bournemouth and Cambridge have the most property development activity by area, based on new research announced today by Groundsure (illustrated in new Groundsure online interactive map). The research (1), based on sales of mapping used in the planning process (2), broadly reflects official statistics of planning applications from the Office for National Statistics (ONS), but comes ahead of the official figures for quarter one, which are due in June. Ranking UK local authorities by density of development, Groundsure found the City of Brighton and Hove to currently be the most active local authority in terms of development outside of the capital. In 2014 however, Brighton and Hove had 26.5 planning applications per square kilometre and came third in terms of density of UK property developments. The City came behind both Cambridge (top ranking, with 30.6) and Oxford (second most developments, with 27.6 applications per square kilometre). In London, north of the river leads the way, with most

developments taking place in Kensington and Chelsea (first in ranking), the City of London (second), City of Westminster (third), Islington (fourth) and Camden (fifth in the national ranking for most developments per square kilometre). Today’s development research follows last week’s Political Party Manifesto announcements, which put house building as a priority issue in the pre-election battleground. The Conservatives announced their right to buy extension for housing association tenants, whilst the Labour party promised to build at least 200,000 new homes per year by 2020 with a priority for first time buyers. In addition to current planning activity, Groundsure also investigated areas of potential future development by analysing mapping viewed on their systems, but not yet purchased (maps which are required for planning applications). The top three most viewed mapping areas (outside of London in order of volume) are Brighton (top), Worcester (second) and Worthing (third), followed by Cambridge, North Tyneside and Bournemouth, which are likely to be the next development hotspots.
• LATEST HOMES 04
Dan Montagnani, managing director of Groundsure said: “London was clearly going to have most developments underway, but we were surprised to find that, outside of London, Bournemouth is the second most active area for developments in the UK. Alongside Brighton this shows a clear demand for property on the south coast.” Montagnani added: “With the current government target of increasing the supply of housing to 240,000 additional homes per year by 2016, it’s good to see that this already active sector is likely to experience further growth after the next election. Provided the parties keep their promises.” Groundsure created this report using its sales data of Ordnance Survey MasterMap® digital mapping. Further details can be seen on Groundsure’s new interactive map at http://map.groundsure.com/devel opment-hotspots. Groundsure provides a range of environmental data reports for solicitors, homebuyers, businesses, consultants, surveyors and lenders to make informed property-transaction decisions.

THE WINKWORTH WAY
Carol Thompson takes on the role of Lettings Manager
How long have you worked in the lettings industry? Fifteen years, in Surrey, London, and Hove! What are the key factors when dealing with a landlord? Being trustworthy and reliable whilst building sustainable business relationships. Offering excellent customer service with regular feedback and transparency about fees.
Carol Thompson has a unique history with Winkworth. Starting off her first position in one of the London offices, she quickly acquired a great foundation of lettings knowledge very early on in her successful career, realising her potential and flare for the world of property. After having built a vast clientele basis and honing in on her personable, professional and motivated qualities, she decided to run and manage her very own lettings business which proved a notable triumph. Carol has also utilised her business-driven persona in the past to open her very own café, an exciting and thriving venture that she thoroughly enjoyed. Carol is now happier than ever to be back to the position she knows and loves best, allowing Winkworth an independent, familiar letting agency to lead the rising rental market.
Are you excited by your new position with Winkworth Lettings? Yes, very excited. I wanted to work for a quality agent that takes pride in the presentation of their properties. I am really looking forward to the challenge of developing the lettings department of an already very successful office. What are you hoping the job will bring to you and what will you bring to the job? I want to be successful with the satisfaction of knowing I’ve done an excellent job. I’m working with a great team and I’m really looking forward to developing the lettings department. With all my experience, I appreciate that the lettings business is fast paced and it is vital to let properties quickly, at the best possible price to the best tenants. I believe in sustainable long term business relationships. I am here for the long term! Lewes Crescent, Brighton BN2 £1,850 per calendar month Fantastic apartment having undergone full refurbishment providing a modern contemporary living space within a period building in one of Brightons most sought after addresses. Accommodation comprises two bedrooms, two patios and a high spec kitchen.
Redhill Drive, Brighton BN1 £2,400 per calendar month Boasting luxury living at its finest, this property is clean, fresh and contemporary. The beautiful, newly placed fixtures and fittings add to the high standards of presentation of your semidetached home.

What are the key factors when dealing with a tenant? Understanding their needs and expectations. Listening to their requirements, finding out what type of property they’re looking for and doing our best to find exactly what they want. Or even better! Does Winkworth Lettings operate in a particular sector? We get a real mixture of property; currently we have some really stunning property suitable for families and company lets, and we have a growing number of quality smaller properties suited to professional sharers and couples. Many more people choose to let rather than buy, has this affected the market? Yes, the market is very dynamic. Brighton and Hove is a place that young people are drawn to, for jobs and lifestyle, and many families relocate to Brighton. This results in high demand from really high quality tenants.
LET Kings Cliff, Hove BN3 £3,000 Encompassing the entire ground floor level, this charming apartment offers an abundance of light and space. Emphasised by the stylish and contemporary décor the interior is wonderfully vibrant. A skilfully erected, dominant example of historic architecture, this residence merges central city living of the modern day along with classic, traditional elements that surprise throughout.
www.latesthomes.co.uk •
What makes a good landlord? Someone who cares about the condition of the property they’re letting and are prepared to accommodate the tenant’s needs. They see letting as a long term investment, and want to maximise the potential of that or want us to do this on their behalf! What defines a good tenant? Someone who cares about the property they’re living in and treats it like a home. They understand that they have engaged in a contract where both sides have rights and responsibilities. How prepared does a prospective tenant need to be? It is worth being prepared, it’s a competitive market and a prospective tenant needs to act quickly. They will need to make sure they have funds available to pay the fee of intent as soon as they find something they like and be prepared to give employment and previous landlord details for reference checks. What has been your funniest moment in the lettings world? Several years ago now, I carried out a full property inspection of a large house, finishing in the main bedroom, only to find the tenant sleeping like a baby! Winkworth, 32 Church Road, Hove East Sussex, BN3 2FN 01273 772175
Beaconsfield Villas, Brighton BN1 £1,595 Beautifully presented, this top floor apartment within a wonderful, detached property exudes modern living combined with period architecture. With such a central location, situated only a few moments away from Preston Park and therefore Preston Park Station and the pleasures of restaurants/pubs such as The Open House and The Park View.

BUSINESS AID
Victoria Wright of local solicitors Dean Wilson LLP discusses employment tribunal settlements I took my employer to an employment tribunal and won but I’ve not been paid the sum awarded – now what? Payment is due within 14 days of the judgment, unless something else is specified. If you have not been paid, you can take steps to enforce an award of compensation, costs or fees made by the employment tribunal, but the employment tribunal is not responsible for enforcement of awards. You need to think about the sum owed and the position of the debtor as this may dictate which method of enforcement you use and help you to determine if it will be a worthwhile step to take. You can enforce the debt through the county court. First of all, you will need to file a copy of the tribunal's decision at the
appropriate county court using HMCTS form N322B. Information about the methods which the county court can use are set out in form EX328 and guidance on the circumstances of the debtor is in form EX321. The common enforcement options in the county court are: warrants of execution (an authorised agent is able to take and sell the debtor’s goods); attachment of earnings orders (compelling the current employer to deduct from wages sums owed); third party debt orders (sums owed to the debtor are re-directed); and charging orders (an order over the debtor’s assets). The process can be protracted and complicated and so in April 2010, the Acas and employment tribunal fast track system was introduced to simplify and speed up the process of enforcement. It is operated by Registry Trust Ltd. You
need to complete form EX727 and pay a fee £60 fee. A High Court Enforcement Officer is allocated to the case who obtains a writ and then attempts to recover the monies owed. If the enforcement is successful, the debt owed, interest due on it and the court fee is recovered for you. Although the BIS research above may indicate this fast track system does not improve levels of enforcement, rather it gives another option allowing an alternative process of enforcement. Any party who fails to pay an employment tribunal or Employment Appeal Tribunal award in England and Wales is added to the Register of Judgments, Orders and Fines once enforcement proceedings are brought against them in the county court. The Register at www.trustonline.org.uk can be searched by members of the public and credit reference agencies.
Victoria Wright qualified as a solicitor in 2000 and has focused on employment law ever since, advising employers and employees. She specialises in reducing risk for clients, and providing straightforward and cost effective advice.

Leonard Cheshire Disability research has found that many people are confined to a limited number of downstairs rooms and face the daily nightmare of washing in their kitchen, sleeping in their living room and being unable to get in and out of their front doors. Emma Lindsay, Campaigns Manager at Leonard Cheshire Disability, said: “We decided to develop the Can’t Move site to make the point that there is a desperate shortage of suitable homes for disabled people. A house is not a home when you have to wash in your kitchen sink

However, my mate Pete hassled me into learning; lending me a set of clubs and giving me lots of advice and support. Just over a year later, I had the requisite handicap to be allowed on that hallowed turf (I think that's the phrase!). “In the meantime, Jim, my erstwhile cycling companion from our two India trips, had been nagging me that we need to get out again. “Putting (oops, first golfing pun) two and two together, I came to five and, wanting to raise money for a brilliant Brighton-based homeless charity, the First Base Day Centre, I suggested we could do the Brighton to Paris ride, which takes place on the longest day of the year, 20th June, about 130 miles; but we should preface

HELPING RETIRING LANDLORDS STRUCTURE A STRESS-FREE RETIREMENT
A
Are you a Sussex-based landlord planning to retire this year? Brighton-based property investor Dominic Kos is reaching out to local landlords who may be considering off-loading some or all of their properties, enabling them to begin enjoying their retirement now with security and peace of mind. We asked Dominic Kos how he can help. Dominic, give me an idea of the process a retiring landlord might go through. “There are a number of things landlords will need to consider, all of which are dependent of their individual circumstances, of course. A retiring landlord may want to hold a portion of their portfolio for income during retirement and sell some properties to generate a cash lump sum. This cash might be used to purchase a retirement property to live in, fund a move overseas, clear some mortgages or other debt or to help family in some way, perhaps helping their grandchildren with university fees.”
Watch Latest Homes Live on
What kind of issues might landlords face when considering retirement? “Selling multiple properties creates a variety of potential headaches. For example, a landlord with fifteen houses in Brighton might want to sell ten of them to generate some capital. Anyone who has sold their house before will know how much time and effort one property sale can take. Not to mention the stress if the buyer pulls out or the chain collapses. If you’re talking about multiple properties that is an awful lot of phone calls, viewing requests, estate agents, communication with solicitors, paperwork and so on. ” Sounds like a lot of hard work. “It is. And a retiring landlord is probably hoping to wind down their workload. Selling ten properties through estate agents could potentially drag on for many months, even years. When you consider what the estate agents’ fees might be on ten properties in Brighton at around 1.5% or even 2% + VAT a go, that’s a big hit.”
• LATEST HOMES 14
What kind of tax bill would a landlord be faced with in this situation? “A key element of our service is to help landlords structure the sale in the most tax-efficient manner. I’m not personally qualified to give tax advice, so we use property tax specialists. “We want to pay a fair amount of tax according to HMRC’s guidlines and 100% play by the rules. HMRC has tax allowances in place and we ensure our fellow landlords fully benefit from these. “We can usually purchase properties at the full market value depending on the condition, but that is only part of the service. “I am in business to help people first, and profit second. I am only interested in an ethical win-win solution. That is fundamental to my business model. This can mean we also help landlords with their retirement plans in various additional ways, with moving abroad or perhaps connecting them with other relevant professional services. “I work closely with a large network of landlords and investors across the UK, and have a very experienced team of propertyspecialist solicitors, mortgage brokers, accountants and taxspecialists at hand. My clients can tap into this powerful network instantly, it’s an incredible source of expert knowledge.
www.latesthomes.co.uk •
“I invest regularly in professional education and as an active member of the National Landlords Association and Property Investors Network I take time to ensure I'm always up to date with any new ways I can help my clients. “Important to note that I will walk away from a deal if I feel I am unable to offer a great solution for the landlord, even if they may be ready to proceed. “If it’s not possible to find a winwin solution, which is not unusual, I simply point the landlord towards what I deem to be their most appropriate option. If possible I’ll put them in touch with the relevant people that can help. “There are countless ‘buy-yourhouse-fast-for-cash’ companies out there, some of which don’t have a great reputation. My first question is always, ‘how can I help?’ and we go from there.” Call Dominic Kos for an informal chat on 01273 382 672.

Robert Nemeth is impressed by Splashpoint Leisure Centre in Worthing ollowing the success of Worthing’s first Eco Open Houses event last year, a second has impressed just as much. My column on the event one year back focused on the Lancing Beach Building – a huge eco-tistical shell of fun right on the Lancing beach. My visit this year was to an even bigger beach building – the newish Splashpoint leisure centre on the Worthing seafront. As usual, I wasn’t particularly interested in the standard brochure. It was the behind-the-scenes areas that caught my attention. Splashpoint did not fail to impress in that regard. Splashpoint opened in May 2013 at a cost of £18 million. It sets the benchmark for what a new King Alfred in Hove should be looking to achieve. Our tour with efficiency specialist Matt Roberts started to the west of the slowly-tarnishing copper, glass and polished concrete structure above an array of pipes serving the building’s ground source heat pump. The arrangement is complex as the leisure centre needs to be simultaneously heated (pools) and cooled (gyms). Beneath much of the building, and wrapping around the lower sections of the pool is a deep basement containing all manner of gadgets that keep this highly-efficient building in check. There are pipes, tanks, motors and control panels everywhere for a variety of cooling, heating, electricity-generating, air-conditioning and filtering systems. There are even huge bags that provide a home for the lane ropes that disappear down little holes at the end of the pool. Having been involved with the campaign to get a new King Alfred for Hove from the beginning, I am embarrassed that Brighton & Hove City Council has done so little to get things moving. As such, I am certainly grateful to the Eco Open Houses team for showing the public what it is possible to achieve in that regard.

Probably the most familiar source of financial support in our region is FiT (Feed in tariff) for solar panels on commercial roof space. It is actively being encouraged, and here in Sussex we live and work in the UK’s sunniest county, so every home owner should at least explore the options. The Eco Technology Show will provide a one-stop shop to talk to a range of providers and gain a comprehensive understanding of the latest technologies and business models before you make what will be a long-term commitment. There will also be awardwinning architects, surveyors and consultants at the Show who will be more than happy to share their knowledge, as will the Your Energy Sussex partnership between Sussex councils and Carillion.

LH LETTINGS NEWS
EPCS ARE ABOUT TO GET A BIT MORE BITE
A
s part of a series of articles offering advice and news for local landlords, Ahmed Khalil of Khalil Properties explains how landlords whose properties are assessed poorly on an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) could be banned from renting them out. EPCs: Changes are afoot Changes are afoot and the relatively toothless EPC is about to get a bit more bite. Find out what this may mean for you if you are letting property in and around Brighton.
Part of the fixtures and fittings EPCs are, by now, part of the letting fixtures and fittings: they have been around long enough to be simply part of the routine administrative work that is involved in letting out a property. As a piece of paperwork they have the benefit of being more colourful than much that crosses our desks and, of course, their intention to raise awareness of how energy efficient our homes are is praiseworthy. Since 2008 all landlords have had to provide an EPC to all new and prospective tenants. The EPC rates your property, on a scale of A to G, for its energy efficiency. They cost under a £100 for the assessment – which is valid for ten years – and the only additional risk a landlord has faced, up until now, is a fine from the local authority should an EPC not be made available. All this is about to change The EPC previously made recommendations only. It
highlighted how we could improve the energy efficiency of our properties, but it had no real bite. All this is about to change. Under sweeping changes to what an EPC means, and what it can be made to do, landlords in England and Wales will be banned from renting out property that is currently rated F or G from April 2018. Almost 10% of the 4.2m privately rented homes in England and Wales currently fall below the E rating. This is symptomatic of the fact that much of the housing stock here is some of the oldest, and draughtiest, in Europe: and nowhere is this truer than in Regency Brighton. What’s more the new regulations could begin to bite much earlier than 2018. From April 2016 tenants living in homes with an F- or G- rating can request improvements to be made, and the landlord will be legally bound to bring the home up to at least an E-rating.
Quite a big stick Introducing the change in February, Ed Davey, the energy and climate minister, commented it was “a very big measure” and “quite a big stick”. The carrot offered is noticeably smaller, although vague promises of grants to alleviate upfront costs have been made. Landlord organisations have been tentative in their acceptance of the change as a necessary evil. The NLA’s CEO, Richard Lambert, commented that “there is a realistic prospect of landlords being able to comply”. He went on to point out that the standards to meet were “sensible rather than aspirational” and that timescales to make the changes were probably managable. Dig out that paperwork My advice to landlords is to dig out that EPC and check to see if you are going to be affected. The more time you allow yourselves to plan for improvements the less of a jolt it’s going to be. As ever with regulation changes: forewarned is forearmed.

Many Leaders staff are looking forward to dressing up as heroes to celebrate the heroes who work in and support children’s hospices and to taking part in their own personal challenges, including long distance bike rides, walks, runs, rowing and skydiving.
