Property blackspots Celebrate the New Year in your stunning Vision home HOUSE hunters looking to take their first step on the property ladder in Plymouth are being encouraged not to put off the search until 2015, as Redrow is offering a luxury Waitrose hamper for reservations taken throughout November.

There is a stunning selection of newly-released properties available at Vision, perfect for first-time buyers, which will be ready for the New Year.

These include two- and three-bedroom houses and threebedroom townhouses from £147,995.

Situated close to Plymouth City Centre with regular bus services, and close to Plymouth Railway Station, Vision is the perfect place to set up home.

As the weather closes in this winter, home buyers will also be pleased to know that all Redrow homes include energy-efficient central heating systems and double glazing, ensuring families will be kept toasty warm this festive season.

Annie Williams, area sales manager for Redrow (West Country), said: “The festive season is almost upon us, but we don’t want people to think they have missed out on securing a new home this year.

“Help to Buy could be the best Christmas present for firsttime buyers this year as it could help you move into a new Redrow home with as little as a five per cent deposit.”

With Help to Buy, the Government lends up to 20 per cent of the value of the new property through an equity loan which is interest-free for five years.

This means that only a 75 per cent mortgage will need to be secured from the chosen lender and buyers should be able to access much more competitive interest rates, making mortgage repayments more affordable.

Vision is an exciting development that not only includes homes, but also a wide selection of other buildings, including offices, shops, a market hall and other versatile venues.

For more information about Vision, visit the website at www.redrow.co.uk/developments/vision-devonport or call the sales team on 01752 656100.

Findings from a recent survey by Home.co.uk suggest Plymouth is one of the worst places to invest in property.

Denise O’Leary talks to three local estate agents...

ONE of the strongest sectors of the property market in recent years has been for homes purchased as investments.

While difficulty in obtaining mortgages and the need to raise ever higher deposits has made it tougher for first-time buyers to get on the ladder, properties in the lower price bands have been snapped up by landlords keen to get a better yield on their savings than that provided by financial institutions.

With the first-time buyers’ market traditionally seen as the ‘engine house’ of the property world, driving sales throughout the rest of the market, it has been a strong investment sector that has kept the wheels turning through some dark and difficult years.

But figures recently published by website Home.co.uk would hint that things are beginning to tail off, especially in the Plymouth area which is listed as ninth on the list of the worst places to invest in property.

Their research suggests that both property values and yields are falling in 20 of what they call ‘investment black spots’ and their figures claim that the average investment property in Plymouth has fallen in value by 5.7 per cent, with a 0.4 per cent reduction in yield during the last year.

Prime London boroughs feature prominently on the list, with Belgravia and Soho in the top five and Westminster and The Strand also in the top 20.

Seaside towns are another casualty, with Margate in Kent and Poole in Dorset seeing significant drops.

This is attributed to the fact that these areas were previously property hot spots which are now seeing a cooling-off period.

Towns and cities in the North East also fare badly, especially Hartlepool, North Shields, Stockton on Tees and Gateshead where high unemployment rates due to austerity measures have been blamed.

Home.co.uk director Doug Shephard comments: “Price falls in the super rich

suburbs of central London have come about for very different reasons to the falls observed in the north.

“Prices soared in central London postfinancial crisis as foreign investors sought safe haven investments.

“Such was the demand for this type of premium property that prices overheated, reaching a peak last year, and are now in the painful process of market correction.

“By contrast, prices in places like Hartlepool fell hard following the financial crisis and price recovery has been elusive.

“In fact, price erosion continues in many such locations where supply seemingly continues to outweigh demand.”

But in Plymouth, agents were surprised by the findings which don’t seem to tally with their daily experience both for a continued high demand for investment properties and a shortage of supply in quality rental properties keeping rents at record levels.

“I am really surprised to hear this,” said Samantha Powell, who handles lettings at Haart in the city.

“If anything, demand is outstripping supply as far as rental properties go. We can’t get enough of them to meet the demand and that will mean that people are still getting an excellent return on their investment.

“That is across all sectors of the market.”

Simon Allen of City Sales thinks that one explanation could be that there has been a glut of flats coming to the market which has kept prices lower and most buyers prefer to invest in freehold, rather than leasehold property.

“Selling homes is a classic case of supply and demand and at the moment there seems to be a lot of flats available for sale but fewer buyers for them,” he said.

“Flats are not as popular as they used to be as investment properties.

“Of course, there is an exception to every rule and there are some very attractive apartments

SHOCK REVELATION: Research by Home.co.uk shows the Plymouth area is listed as ninth on the list of the worst places to invest in property, something that has surprised some of the city’s estate agents

out there which are attracting interest, but overall it is the town houses and other freehold properties which are more in demand.

“I could have 25 ex council houses on my books and they would get snapped up very quickly.

“I think it is simply a case that the flat market has reached saturation point.

“It could well be that Mr and Mrs Smith have had a small flat as an investment in addition to their family home, the flat has been let out and has been making them a bit of money, but now they have decided that they want to sell it to realise the capital.

“They were hoping to get £150,000 for it because the market has increased year on year from when they purchased it a few years ago so they put it up for sale and they find that it won’t shift and they can’t get their money back.

“The preference at the moment is for freehold property and if it was a two-bedroom house they were selling, it would probably get snapped up.

“The thing is that the rental market is still very strong so if they are prepared to let to new tenants and wait it out a bit longer, that would probably be the best thing for them.

“We have had a flat on our books for which we have had one viewing in three to four months but we have taken on a freehold house for sale at around the same price and that has had a dozen viewings in two weeks.”

Matthew Minnett of Connells’ First-Time Buyers Centre on Mutley Plain – which specialises in selling properties popular with investors – was also surprised at the survey findings.

“There seems to be a lot of choice on the market at the moment but one- and twobedroom starter homes are still very popular,” he said.

“The investment property market is still very strong and very popular because return on those investments is still so good – much better than investing that money in a bank would provide.

“Rental yields remain high at six or seven per cent, plus you retain your capital investment which is an appreciating asset.

“It all makes sense for someone who has a sum of money to invest in property, especially while mortgage rates remain so competitive.

“Properties in the £120,000 to 130,000 price bracket are still very much in demand and selling quickly.”

The most likely explanation for the figures would seem to be a natural market correction after an initial boom period – not on the scale experienced in central London – but a reaction to a surge in investment, particularly with the huge expansion of student properties in the city.

Experts are still keen to point out that property provides a good return for an investor and that there are still opportunities to find homes in the Plymouth area which will provide purchasers with a good income.

“Just log on, drop us a question or query and we’ll see to the rest. We really value your voices and believe healthy correspondence can only help strengthen the bond between yourselves and us.

“If it’s something small playing on your mind, assistance in a large-scale project or a question about us as a company, we welcome it.

“On top of the ‘Property Doctor Live Hour’ we’ve got a run of excellent content coming up on both social media and the property blog.

“This includes interviews with Plymouth managers and specialist Bradleys staff, a Christmas hamper competition and plentiful ‘Property Doctor’ interaction.

■ Would paying off your mortgage until death help to defuse the interest-only mortgage time bomb?

Vicky Shaw reports...

New deal may be lifeline for home owners

HOW would you fancy continuing to make mortgage payments for the rest of your life?

Well, this is one possibility that’s being considered by a major lender as a potential lifeline that could be thrown to home owners who will never be able to repay the outstanding debt owed on their interest-only mortgage when the term comes to an end.

Santander has confirmed that it is considering offering those who are on an interest-only deal and will be unable to fully pay it off when it ends, the opportunity to switch to a repayment mortgage, which could potentially last into their later years or even until they die.

While the possibility of making mortgage payments in your twilight years may not sound palatable to some, others may find it more appetising than the realistic alternatives.

The idea could be an extra option for those who might otherwise have to downsize to a home elsewhere, which in itself can be a costly process.

Some people could also be saved from the trauma of having their home repossessed.

However, experts have cautioned that anyone considering such an option should seriously consider discussing their plans in detail with family members as they could end up forfeiting some of their inheritance.

Santander’s plans are still in development stage. But if it decides to offer such a mortgage, this could potentially mean that any outstanding amounts left on the home loan would be recouped by the lender upon the sale of the home.

The sale could happen within the customer’s lifetime or after their death and the remaining

■ ONE in four (26 per cent) credit card holders feels they have more control over their borrowing now than they did three years ago, according to research.

And in further signs of household budgets improving, when asked about their personal finances as a whole, more respondents were optimistic than pessimistic, the survey of more than 2,000 people by Halifax found.

Halifax said that more than three-fifths (61 per cent) of UK adults own a credit card and they most commonly use it for spending on groceries, nights out and items for special occasions.

■ HALF of people have less than two months’ income stashed away in savings,

proceeds would be for the customer, or their estate, to keep.

Someone taking up this potential mortgage option would see the size of their loan reduce as they would be paying off chunks of it and interest would not be added to the outstanding debt.

So why is Santander considering such an option?

Alerts are being sounded across the industry about groups of home owners who are currently sitting on interest-only mortgages.

Fears have been raised that a significant proportion of those who took out an interest-only deal some years ago, do not have a sufficient plan in place for how they will pay off their loan when the deal comes to an end.

This problem is seen as so serious that it has been referred to by regulators as a potential “time bomb”.

Interest-only deals allow borrowers to pay off the capital only when the mortgage term ends, enabling them to maximise their borrowing capacity.

But in 2013, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) warned people were failing to put aside enough money on up to 1.3 million of the interest-only mortgages that are due for repayment during the next 30 years.

Estimates suggested around half these shortfalls will be more than £50,000.

Nowadays, interest-only deals are generally harder to come by as they tend to be seen as a “niche” product.

Stricter mortgage lending rules came into force in April of this year, which mean that people looking to take out a new mortgage face tougher checks to make sure that they can truly

which, based on average UK full-time earnings, is less than £4,308.

A little more than one third (35 per cent) of people have less than one month’s income saved, which is around £2,154 on average, according to Lloyds Bank.

A lack of spare money remains the main reason for people not saving, although the number of people saying this has fallen significantly since similar research was carried out a year ago, Lloyds said.

More than 3,400 people took part in the research.

■ HOW much does it cost to raise a child to the age of 11?

The answer is around £83,600 typically, according to research carried out by Halifax.

BUYING OPTIONS: While the possibility of making mortgage payments in your twilight years may not sound palatable to some, others may find it more appetising than the realistic alternatives

afford their loan and that they aren’t just pinning their hopes on house prices rising.

Are other lenders likely to come up with similar plans?

Well, the industry is paying much thought to the problem, so watch this space.

Ultimately, it’s down to home owners to take responsibility for their debt.

Lenders have been alerting home owners through letters, phone calls and home visits to warn

Within this figure, childcare was found to the single most expensive element of raising a child in their early years, accounting for almost half of the overall cost at £41,139 on average.

Some 1,000 parents were asked how much they spend on essentials for their children such as food, clothing, schooling and toys.

The results indicate that parents are spending an average of £633.54 a month per child up until the age of 11.

The first year of a child’s life was found to be the most expensive for parents, with parents spending more than £8,500 in the first year alone on average.

them of the problems they could be facing if they don’t take stronger action.

The Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML) recently reported that lenders had met a commitment to contact a first wave of interestonly borrowers whose deals will come to an end by 2020.

The first wave of mortgage holders will typically include people approaching retirement with large amounts of accumulated wealth.

A second wave of interest-only

mortgages will reach maturity around 2027/28, as a result of deals sold during the last house price boom. Borrowers in this wave are expected to be middle aged and less well off.

A third and final wave of interestonly deals will mature around 2032, and it is likely to include concentrations of people who are more heavily-indebted.

The CML has described home owners’ responses so far as an “encouraging start”.

FFive ive rrenovation enovation m istakes yyou ou mistakes ddon’t on’t w ant want tto om ake... make...

■ Julia Gray reveals the things you might not want to do when renovating your home...

1, Don’t cut corners

Don’t take on a big project unless you can afford to do it properly.

If you’re going to spend money on building work, ensure you get the maximum benefit from it, both in terms of improving your home and adding value to it.

With loft conversions, for example, incorporating a dormer window (planning laws permitting) will give you most head height and useable space in the loft room/s.

Changing the line of the roof from sloping to “straight” (looking from the front or back), with a dormer at the back spanning almost the whole width of the house, costs more but gives you the best possible loft room/s.

Some homes have a converted loft that can’t officially be called a bedroom because it doesn’t comply with buildings regulations.

If you can make your conversion comply, and get a completion certificate to prove it, it will be worth a lot more.

2, Don’t overspend

Don’t overspend on your home, unless you’re not concerned about recouping the cost.

It’s easy to splash out on expensive home improvements, but it’s wise to spend in

proportion to the value of the property and the area.

Don’t, for example, pay £30,000 for a kitchen in a property that’s only worth about £150,000, as you’re unlikely to see that money back.

3, Don’t be too ruthless

Don’t rip out original features.

In decades past, beautiful period features weren’t always as valued as they are now, but original cornicing, floorboards, fireplaces, doors and the like add value and make your home more attractive and sellable.

Features can often be restored if they’ve been removed, either original or reproduction ones – eBay’s a great place to find them.

4, Don’t be too different

Don’t ignore what your neighbours have done.

Not improving your home in line with the rest of the neighbourhood could cost you dear.

Let’s take windows as an example: if all or most of your neighbours’ homes have the original wooden sash windows, replacing your windows with UPVC casement ones will probably devalue your home.

In some areas, UPVC windows

are everywhere, so fitting them is more likely to add value than not.

5, Don’t ignore the rules

Don’t forget to get permission.

Planning permission is, of course, sometimes required for building work, but it’s not always obvious when you need planning and when you don’t – if in doubt, ask the local council.

Flats and maisonettes don’t have permitted development (PD) rights, so if you live in one of these, you’ll need planning for things that you wouldn’t if you lived in a house, such as erecting a garden shed.

Some houses have had their PD rights removed, so they have the same restrictions, and houses on ‘designated land‘, which includes conservation areas, are subject to different planning rules to those that aren’t.

If your home’s listed, alterations usually require listed building consent from the local council, or in some cases English Heritage.

And if your home’s leasehold, you usually need the freeholder’s permission for alterations, depending on what the lease says.

Even if you own a share of the freehold, you still need the other freeholders to agree.

Get your lighting just right at home IT CAN make a room calmer or brighter.

Either way, it’s so important to get the lighting in your home just right.

Here are the best ways to achieve that.

■ Lighting should be at three levels in a room – the floor, walls and ceiling.

Plan your scheme in advance – if you’re having electrical work done, make sure the sockets are fitted where you want your table and floor lamps to be. Wall lights and target lighting should also be planned at this stage.

■ Lighting can be much more creative, and useful, than just an overhead light in each room.

In the bedrooms, do you want wall lights over the beds for reading, or just bedside lamps?

Don’t forget wall lights in the bathroom, perhaps for creating a relaxing atmosphere when you’re

soaking in the tub, and on either side of the mirror for shaving and applying make-up.

An illuminated mirror is another option. Target lighting, such as over-counter lights in kitchens, can be both practical and attractive.

■ “Consider how the room will be used and at what time of day,” says Hector Finch, the owner of lighting store Hector Finch (www.hectorfinch.com).

“This has an influence on whether the lighting should be overhead, localised for reading, or purely for atmosphere.

“Lighting should be considered in relation to the use of the room and the times that good light will be most needed.”

■ If you want to focus attention on a feature, light it up. This is often best achieved with a low-level lighting scheme, where walls are ‘washed’ with light, or where an area is

accented with spotlights. Statement pieces, such as chandeliers, can be a stunning feature, but give them room to ‘breathe’.

“Think of lighting as a means of adding personality and atmosphere to a room and home,” says Finch. “Table lamps can be beautiful objects in their own right, not just used to provide light, and shades can be chosen to echo other colours in the room.”

■ In a room with a high ceiling, think carefully about the height and size of the light – a small one may look silly.

Most plastic ceiling roses come with short flexes, but you can buy longer flexes so the light isn’t ‘stranded’ too close to the ceiling.

A longer flex will make it look more in proportion to the room and create more of a feature, especially with a large light fitting or shade.
