Welcome to the latest issue of our homepage magazine, which features a selection of properties being marketed by our central London network of offices in Mayfair, Pimlico, Chelsea and Holland Park. The prime central London property market has faced some significant fiscal changes this year with restrictions placed upon non-dom status, inheritance tax for overseas owners, reduced tax relief on rental investments, annual taxes on properties owned by companies and trusts, along with much higher stamp duty at the upper levels. It is true to say that these factors, combined with the rising cost of sterling, have produced a slightly sobering effect on potential purchasers, both within the UK and from abroad. However, London is continually recognised as being the world’s property safe haven, in amongst the uncertainties of the global stock market and various challenging world events. Our Residential Development team has just returned from a tremendously successful property exhibition in Guangzhou, China and saw how this view of London is very much at the forefront of foreign investor thinking. Closer to home, our offices report that motivated local and international buyers are very much out there and that their frequent frustration - indeed ours, too - is often the lack of property available to view. Do please contact your local office to discuss your sales or lettings requirements with us, our experienced and service-focussed staff would be delighted to hear from you.

In the year to August 2015 house prices in London increased 6.6%, according to data released by the Land Registry. London no longer commands the highest price rises, with the East and South East of England having seen a faster pace of growth. The average London house price however stands at £493,026, some 166% higher than the national average. Prime boroughs which saw the highest levels of capital appreciation since the downturn now rank lower in recent performance than non-central boroughs. Price growth in Kensington and Chelsea was just 0.2% in the year to August 2015 whereas Newham grew by 15.5% over the same period. House price growth has certainly moderated in prime central London. The market for higher value properties is still absorbing the stamp duty reform which is imposing far higher transaction costs. A property selling at £5,000,000 for example would now be liable for a £513,750 tax bill. This increase in purchaser’s costs has had a dramatic effect on the prime markets. The Land Registry reports that the number of sales at and above £2,000,000 decreased by 33% between June 2014 and June 2015. From January to September, the ratio of prospective buyers to prospective sellers averaged four to one among our London offices, where the ratio was four and a half during the same period in 2014. This demonstrates mild easing in pressure on prices with slightly fewer buyers in the market.

Central London is entering a period of more natural, sustained growth which most economists welcome. A slight reduction in overseas interest and greater sensitivity to higher taxes will suspend any significant growth, however the economic fundamentals remain sound. Drivers such as low inflation, low interest rates and rising earnings support the wider market and London is forecast to end the year in growth. The rental market continues to be supported by rising demand. However, this broad trend across London ignores some great disparities in performance within sub-markets. Our central London offices have seen stock levels rise disproportionally this year, giving tenants more choice and thus has slowed pressure on rental growth at the top end of the market. As the London economic climate continues to strengthen, the rental market, highly correlated with this, will respond and we expect rents to rise further.

a downland suite of one’s own The chalk downland of the South Downs National Park is host not only to one of England’s treasured wild flowers, the cowslip, it is also home to one of the most fashionable summer festivals of racing - Glorious Goodwood. This undulating countryside, with the odd steep escarpment, provides endless opportunities for long distance walkers and those who prefer just an afternoon stroll. Almost without exception you are rewarded by wonderful vistas and for many it is the simple rugged beauty of the landscape that makes the Downs so special. This is the countryside that inspired John Ireland to compose ‘A Downland Suite’ and William Blake to write his poem ‘Jerusalem’. The Downs have lured many away from London and one of those enticed to buy a property in the South Downs National Park was a past president of RIBA. The setting of Switchback Barn, on the edge of the hamlet of East Marden, was too good an opportunity to miss. The traditional brick and flint barn had already been converted but made little of the views over the glorious countryside. A lifetime’s experience realising the potential of a building, its setting and the extensive use of glass were to prove key factors. With due respect to this former agricultural building and in complete empathy with the surrounding countryside the barn was transformed. The full length glazing of part of the original opening on the west elevation and a first floor Juliet balcony connected the stunning open plan first floor 40ft reception room to the rolling agricultural land outside. This was complemented on the opposite side of the room with full length windows. An additional converted barn provides excellent guest accommodation or letting potential.
Switchback Barn has an open plan entrance hall, master bedroom with en suite bathroom, two further bedrooms and second bathroom, study/fourth bedroom and utility room on the ground floor. A sweeping and rather elegant circular staircase leads up to the vaulted reception room. From here it is possible to sit by the open doors enjoying the setting summer sun or to take comfort beside the wood burner on a winter’s night.

Recent coverage in the property press has tended to paint a rather bleak picture of the prime central London property market, with some reports suggesting a downward turn in prices and highlighting a continuing lack of stock. At our Mayfair office, the issue of limited supply versus levels of demand is certainly real, as we continue to register motivated domestic and foreign buyers who are searching for new properties. However, whilst it is true that recent stamp duty changes have served to dampen the market in prime central London, we have not experienced the huge price reductions that have been reported. Furthermore, it is sometimes taking us slightly longer to get property under offer, but the appetite for prime central property certainly remains strong within both the UK and the international community. Indeed, September was our busiest period so far this year, with European buyers returning in force after the summer. Our core Lettings business continues to come from our established relationships with relocation agents searching on behalf of their corporate clients. Despite the cooler weather now upon us, we have had several requests recently for properties offering terraces and outside space.

Name: Nicholas Austin Position: Manager, Mayfair Sales Why Mayfair? If you’re looking for a truly international, culturally rich environment with the best that prime central London has to offer then Mayfair is the place for you. Why is now a good time to sell your home? There has been a marked increase in the number of registrations from potential purchasers since the summer and we have been enjoying increased levels of activity in terms of viewings and offers. What is the thing you love most about your job? I love how this special part of London provides a wonderfully diverse mix of property types and continues to keep me on my toes. Tell us a lesser known fact about your area: Mayfair was named after the May Fair, which was introduced in 1686 and lasted a fortnight each year. The Fair took place on the site that later became Shepherd’s Market but was later banned from the location in 1764. Name: Camilla Molyneux MARLA Position: Manager, Mayfair Lettings Why Mayfair? Being a small residential area nestled between the open spaces of Green Park and Hyde Park, the West End has always been popular for city workers and professionals arriving from abroad, all looking for luxury living in a central location. Why is now a good time to let your home? The period following summer is always a busy time for us in Mayfair and we tend to see an influx of prospective tenants returning from their summer travels ready to secure a new property.

Market conditions continue strongly here in Pimlico and Westminster. Following a quieter period after the election in May we have found that buyers are returning, feeling focused and now looking seriously for new homes and investments. Our sales team has had properties going to sealed bids and we have also had sales agreed at levels beyond the guide price; generally, we have averaged a selling price at 97% of our guide prices over the last three months. We have also secured buyers for clients looking to sell their properties in a more discreet manner, without the need for full marketing. These events are all good indicators of a strong market and bode well for this enduringly popular area of London. Our Lettings team was exceptionally busy throughout the summer, settling MPs into new rental properties after the election and finding homes for families ahead of the autumn school term. We work closely with our Sales and New Homes departments, with many investment purchasers and landlords enjoying the service they receive from our linked departments. We are always happy to keep our landlords updated about the many new legal requirements being introduced and their obligations to tenants. Do get in touch to find out more.

Why Pimlico? Quite simply, Pimlico has it all‌everything that our more expensive neighbours have but at a snip of the price!
Why Pimlico? Pimlico remains exceptionally good value for prime central London and offers a pleasant, quiet residential community close to the business centres and exciting shopping and entertainment districts.
Why is now a good time to sell your home? We are finding that confidence has returned to the market since the general election. The summer months proved to be unusually busy for us, a trend that has continued into autumn as many new purchasers register their interest and, more importantly, put forward offers! What is the thing you love most about your job? In my opinion, the most enjoyable thing about estate agency is the client interaction we experience. In a world where business is tending to become less client facing, ours still enjoys this luxury. Tell us a lesser known fact about your area: According to tradition, Pimlico received its name from Ben Pimlico, famous for his nut-brown ale.
Why is now a good time to let your home? Traditionally the autumn months are the busiest time in the lettings market, as seasonally this is when new jobs start and school and university terms commence – we have certainly found this to be true this year. What is the thing you love most about your job? I adore working with colleagues and clients who share similar values in a vastly changing industry. I’m proud to work for a company that has upheld traditional values whilst being progressive and successful. Tell us a lesser known fact about your area: Welsh designer Laura Ashley, born in 1925, first started printing her now famous fabrics with husband Bernard in the attic flat of a house on Cambridge Street, Pimlico, designing scarves, napkins and table mats. She later became a hugely successful businesswoman building an empire of fashion and homeware products.

In terms of the property market, we have witnessed moderated growth in prices being achieved during recent months. The upper end of the local market has been affected strongly by the sharp rise in stamp duty levels and Land Registry reports that price growth in Kensington and Chelsea was 0.2% in the year Aug 2014 to Aug 2015. However, we find that those people looking for property remain motivated in their search; the lure of Chelsea and its environs, with all that they provide, will continue to draw a wide range of purchasers from home and abroad for some time yet. Our Lettings team works with many of the Relocation companies in the area to find properties for corporate tenants, on both a short and long-term basis. We have noticed a growing appetite for family houses with gardens or easy access to green space, as well as contemporarily fitted interiors for young professionals. Please do get in touch to find out how we can help you sell or let your property.

Why Chelsea? If you enjoy shopping, being here provides the chance of living in the centre of London with the world class attractions of Sloane Street and Kings Road on your doorstep.
Why Chelsea? Living here provides the chance to take on a world-renowned address in an area of central London that boasts a royal history, beautiful properties, fabulous schools, amazing shops, boutiques, bars and restaurants… I could continue.
Why is now a good time to sell your home? It’s a great time of year to catch the traditional surge in the market with buyers back from their summer travels and feeling refreshed and ready to commence their property search in earnest. What is the thing you love most about your job? The variety of my week – every day is different and after thirty five years I am still lucky enough to come across beautiful new properties. No sale is ever the same. Tell us a lesser known fact about your area: Many people I speak to are not aware that Chelsea began life as a fishing village.
Why is now a good time to let your home? Applicants will always want to try to get settled before the winter draws in and with Christmas approaching it is the perfect time to let your property. There is no better ‘wow factor’ than viewing a property on a cold winter’s morning with frost glistening on the grass and being able to step into a warm and cosy home. What is the thing you love most about your job? For me, it has to be the opportunity of being able to take on such amazing properties on behalf of our clients and having the chance to meet so many different people. An applicant once asked me if the landlord would accept his pet monkey in the apartment… only in Chelsea!

Holland Park
jackson-stops.co.uk/london Here at our Holland Park office we’ve seen a marked rise in levels of activity in recent weeks across both our Sales and Lettings departments, during what is traditionally one of the busiest times of our year. Holland Park and Notting Hill attract a diverse range of buyers and tenants, from bankers (due to the convenient transport links to the City) through to fashion designers (the area is awash with independent fashion stores and designer boutiques); antique dealers love living close to Portobello Road with its fabulous market and wide array of antique stores, whilst families move here for the gardens, beautiful green spaces and strong state and private schooling provision. We’re lucky enough to play host to a great many cultures due to the diversity of the
schools (Spanish, Italian, and French to name but a few), as well as the many cafes and restaurants serving up menus from across the globe. Relocation activity has increased the number of professional tenants registering to rent in the area; we have also seen a rise in the number of families looking to rent property whilst they carry out house renovations, such as basement conversions, along with other extensive remodelling projects which necessitate time out of the home. For those looking for a more straightforward option, our sales team remains busy helping families, both domestic and from abroad, find their perfect home without the stress and upheaval of a renovation project. Do get in touch to find out how we can help, we would be delighted to hear from you.

Why Holland Park? Located conveniently for the West End with easy access to the country, Holland Park continues to prove incredibly popular with domestic and foreign buyers alike, with its eclectic array of fabulous boutiques, cafĂŠs, parks and schools.
Why Holland Park? The area provides great transport links to get into the City by tube on the Central Line, families with children benefit from excellent schools as well as the green spaces of Holland Park and Avondale Park.
Why is now a good time to sell your home? The autumn season is always the perfect time to sell your property; this has been particularly true so far this year, as buyers seek to catch up from a slow and inactive period following the general election and the summer months.
Why is now a good time to let your home? Relocation activity has now increased with applicants wanting to find a new home to move into before Christmas. There continues to be a lack of quality stock and so good properties are being let quickly.
What is the thing you love most about your job? Providing guidance and knowledgeable advice to all of our clients, whilst building a strong personal rapport along the way, has always been a rewarding part of being an Estate Agent.
What is the thing you love most about your job? I love meeting a wide range of people from around the world as we have many international tenants - I am also lucky enough to see an awful lot of beautiful properties.
Tell us a lesser known fact about your area: Holland Park is home to many celebrities from all walks of life. Most recently, it was Robbie Williams and the Beckhams who bought properties in our area.
Tell us a lesser known fact about your area: Holland Park was formed originally from the grounds of Holland House, which was built in the 1500s. Back then, the Park measured over 500 acres in size; today it spans approximately 50 acres and provides a beautiful green space for the community to enjoy. jackson-stops.co.uk/london | facebook.com/JSSLondon | 39
