Buyer demand falls

Claim to fame

For men of the trees

Buyer demand has fallen as the region’s housing market ‘pauses for breath’ according to property industry organisation Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) Its latest survey shows how demand for new homes in the South West fell in July, to the lowest level since October 2011, while fewer new properties came onto the market seeing the prices achieved rise. RICS said that as a result of the slackening demand and supply, anticipated sales across the region in next three months would remain at a ‘lower level.’ It said across the UK as a whole, sales expectations remained positive, however.

Estate agents Charles Head are anticipating keen interest in a fivebedroom house that it is set to auction in October, located in a village which made national news this year. Wragmore, above, is a family home in Bantham, the South Devon village which was sold to private buyers (asking price: £11 million) by Strutt & Parker in July. Wragmore has a swimming pool and a south-facing aspect and is just half a mile from the beach. It will go under the hammer on October 10 with an auction guide price of £1,400,000, but could be sold sooner by private treaty, according to Charles Head. To arrange a viewing call 01548 852352.

An ancient woodland site located a mile from Exeter St David’s station is being offered for sale. Exwick Wood is available to buy as a whole or as one of two separate freehold lots and is being marketed by John Clegg & Co. The first lot, Exwick Wood East, is just under 12 hectares (29.5 acres) in size, with a guide price of £160,000. It is classified as a Plantation on an Ancient Woodland Site (PAWS) – a designation indicating it is an old site dating back to at least 1600. The second plot, Bolsters and Three Corner Copse is 11.57 hectares (28.6 acres). The guide price is £147,000. For more details call 01844 291384, www.johnclegg.co.uk

Property buyers at the lower end of the housing ladder are still unable to buy, despite UK house sales being at a record high. Andrew Boast, co-founder of Shareamortgage.com, established to enable first-timers or would-be buyto-let investors to pool their costs with other buyers, believes they are being hampered by the lack of affordable housing options. He said: “People are being forced to sit tight in the hope that properties will become more affordable. “With average weekly earnings

only increasing by 0.3% according to the Office for National Statistics, property prices have risen far faster than average earnings. This hasn’t given people the time to catch up, leaving them stuck either renting or unable to trade upwards. “With a ten per cent deposit, a person earning the average wage of £26,000 would need a mortgage of six times their salary to buy an average price property of £172,000. “It also won’t have helped buyers’ confidence that there is so much speculation over the imminent increase in the Bank of England

base rate, with the current state of the UK property market making it almost impossible for an average earner to buy anywhere on their own.” Mr Boast added that his company is experiencing a ‘strong movement’ towards people joining forces and buying together with friends and family. He added: “With a lot of families taking their holidays during the summer, September will give a clearer picture of how the market is really feeling about affordability issues.”

property of the week

One of Cornwall’s best kept secrets The lovely area of Malpas is Truro’s best kept secret. It is just south-east of the city past Phoenix Wharf, on a chunky peninsula at the junction of the Tresillian and Truro rivers. The views up the river are achingly beautiful, and so peaceful you would never know you are right on the fringe of Cornwall’s capital city. Water’s Edge takes full advantage of the riverside views. This four-bedroom property has been completely re-designed by its owners, Mike and Sue Swingler. Mike, now retired, spent his career as a manufacturer of diesel engines. His home has a definite engineer’s mark: it is sleek, modern and efficient, with cutting-edge technology to keep the bills down. Mike and Sue are serial doeruppers: they have enjoyed home improvement projects before, including another in Malpas itself. “We bought this property because we loved the view, but the house needed updating,” says Mike. “It was originally a 1960s bungalow underneath, with what we felt was an unsightly extension.” Mike and Sue demolished parts of this structure, and together with Falmouth-based architect Rosemary Lynch, began plotting the beautiful new building that would take its place. Water’s Edge emerged from its chrysalis with cedar cladding and a new, two-storey extension, and plenty of patios and balconies to take full advantage of that heavenly view up the Tresillian River. The new building has a flexible design: a large two-bedroom owner’s

Gillian Molesworth discovers a lovely family home in an extremely special location residence, with a one-bedroom annexe. This can either be used for extra family or guests, or it can be rented out. “We have been letting the property very successfully,” said Mike. “It’s good if you’re retired and want a bit of extra income. “My wife does the cleaning herself – it’s quite manageable. And because it’s a one-bedroom, it rents well into the shoulder seasons, so you can have it let out most of the year if you want to.” The ground floor at Water’s Edge centres around a large open-plan kitchen-dining-living room, which has an office off one side – what a perfect place to work from home. This opens out on to the expansive deck over-

About the area Location: Delightful Malpas has a good community spirit, with a mix of people including lots of water enthusiasts of all ages. It also has a new village hall. Malpas is in easy commuting distance to the city, but with a pleasant rural feel. Roads: It’s under two miles to the main Truro-Falmouth road. Falmouth is 13 miles away. Trains: Truro station is on the main London to Penzance line. Other transport: Newquay Airport is 21 miles away. Schools: There is a range of schooling options in Truro. If it’s private schools you’re after, you’re within walking distance of the highly regarded Truro School. Eating out: You’ve got to try the

local, the Heron Inn, with good pub food, friendly service, and glorious views of the river. In the city, there is a fantastic range of restaurants catering for all tastes. Shopping: You’re right on the doorstop of Truro, a small cathedral city with local specialist shops and high-street retailers. Lemon Quay holds regular farmers’ markets and foodie events. Days out: Near Water’s Edge is a lovely network of paths, including one to nearby St Clement, for walking along this stunning area of waterside and woodland. In summer,you can catch the ferry from the Malpas Quay to Falmouth, with links to Trelissick and St Mawes.

Water’s Edge has plenty of patios and balconies to take full advantage of that heavenly view up the Tresillian River looking the wooded creek. The bespoke fitted kitchen includes a Mercury hob, with appliances by Liebherr, Neff and Siemens, and a curved island with double sink, granite worktop and float-shut drawer cabinets. A utility room links the house to the garage. “My wife loves the kitchen – she’s got every appliance you can imagine,” chuckles Mike. “She’s a very good cook. The house works very well for entertaining, too.” Mike’s favourite room is upstairs from this: a large, vaulted sitting room with a wrap-around balcony. This is also accessible from the master bedroom suite, which is fit for a king, with a bath/shower room and dressing area off the main bedroom. The house has quite a European feel inside and out. The solid oak floors and Velfac windows feel vaguely Scandinavian. It is super-insulated, and features a Daikin air source heat pump. “We don’t use oil, and the running costs are good for the size of the house,” said Mike. Steps down from the deck lead to the lawned terraced gardens, which extend around the side of the house. A path and steps descend from the house to the stone quay, where there is a delightful summer house and

Water’s Edge, Malpas, Truro £1.2 million Property: A fully renovated, spacious and attractive fourbedroom house, including a onebedroom annexe Location: On the banks of the Tresillian River in pretty Malpas on the edge of Truro, just two miles from the city centre Accommodation: Open-plan kitchen and living room, study, firstfloor sitting room, master bedroom with en-suite bathroom and dressing room, three further bedrooms with annexe option. Large sun deck and balconies Outside: Tidal creek frontage with private pontoon, lawn and terraced gardens, delightful summer house Agents: Savills, Truro 01872 243200, www.savills.co.uk access on to the private pontoon and dock. Here is where Mike and Sue keep their H-Boat racing yacht, which they take to local regattas such as Falmouth Week. “It’s great being able to keep our boat in the water during the winter, as

keeping it in storage can be expensive,” says Mike. “We also have a canoe, and the grandchildren love playing about near the river when they visit.” This tidal area is rich in bird life, especially wading birds such as herons and egrets, so there’s always

something to watch, ideally while also sipping cocktails from the balcony. Having made their mark on spacious Water’s Edge, Mike and Sue are downsizing, with plans to travel more in their retirement. “It is a lovely place to live,” says Mike.

The Lodge, Merriford £450,000

Hunters risked all Cornwall and Devon are famous for their stunning gardens, especially their spectacular displays of flowering shrubs and trees such as camellias, rhododendrons and magnolias. These plants have become a staple of the British garden, but they are only here because of the extraordinary – and often dangerous – journeys undertaken by Victorian and Edwardian plant hunters. Adventurers such as Ernest Hernry Wilson and William Swainson faced disease, war and hostile terrain in faroff places, in order to bring back rare and exciting new plants. Several of these expeditions were jointly funded by the owners of the South West’s stately homes, so of course these illustrious patrons had first pick of the horticultural treasures. Fortunately, these thrived in the warm, damp climate so prevalent in both counties. Plant hunting has a long and illustrious history – the first recorded evidence dates back to Queen Hatshepsut in ancient Egypt (c 1495 BC). This early plant enthusiast sent an expedition to Punt (modern day Somalia) to collect incense trees and other exotic plants. An entire wall of her mortuary temple in Luxor is carved in exquisite bas-relief depicting these plants, many of which are easily identifiable. Fast forward some 3,500 years to the famous plant hunters such as Cornishman William Lobb or the Suffolk-born Sir Joseph Hooker, who sent rhododendron seeds to Sir Charles Lemon of Carclew House in Cornwall, direct from his Himalayan expedition of 1848. Another Cornish family that encouraged and funded plant hunters were the Williams family of Caerhays. JC Williams (1862-1939) recognised the importance of these great expeditions and, in return for funding, was the recipient of varieties of magnolias, camellias and rhododendrons. George Forrest, considered one of the greatest plant hunters and who eventually died in Yunnan (China) in 1932, discovered a variety of camellia, which formed the basis of the hardy Williams hybrid camellias,

Henrietta Lilley from Trago Mills celebrates the lasting effect that intrepid Victorian and Edwardian plant hunters have had on our gardens

still grown today at Caerhays – and in gardens all over the South West. Other gardens that showcase varieties of plants discovered as a result of the incredible journeys undertaken by plant hunters include Heligan in Cornwall (restored in the 1990s and now known as The Lost Gardens of Heligan) and Knightshayes Court in Tiverton, Devon. The intrepid plants hunters of the

19th and 20th centuries helped to shape the character of some of Devon and Cornwall’s greatest gardens, where their discoveries can be seen flowering today. Now, you too can follow in this great tradition by incorporating a selection of these plants into your garden. The Garden Park at Trago Mills Newton Abbot offers a selection of Plant Hunter ‘favourites’, including varieties grown in award-winning Cornish nurseries, and at the usual great value Trago prices. The autumn is a good time to plant these varieties, and they will flower in the spring. If you need inspiration for your own garden, then stroll round the stunning show gardens at The Garden Park, designed by Chelsea Gold Medal-winning landscape designer Paul Stone. You will also find a selection of plants at Trago’s Liskeard and Falmouth stores. The Garden Park, Trago Mills, Stover, Newton Abbot , phone 01626 82111

Botanical Arts Demonstration, Moretonhampstead If you’re out and about on Dartmoor this weekend, pop in to see Kate Wilson’s botanical art at Green Hill Arts on Fore Street. Kate says: “Years ago, when I was Art College, I felt that art should be dangerous, truthful, created to inspire and challenge. I still hold on to those principles (perhaps the dangerous part applies less), although my interpretation is different. “My work in this exhibition is more botanical art than botanical illustration, but it is still true to the plant depicted – I think the more you observe, the closer you get to the truth.” Kate will be in the gallery demonstrating her work between 10am-1pm.

Reconciling Market Reports Jonathan Cunliﬀe Director 01872 243200 jcunliffe@savills.com

Richard Addington Director 01392 455745 raddington@savills.com

It can be perplexing trying to interpret the many reports and evidence on the property market in 2014. On the one hand there are statistics suggesting the market has already increased by 10% this year, whilst on the other hand there is personal evidence of properties not selling and prices having to be reduced to attract buyers. How can these differing experiences be reconciled? The answer lies in the widely used expression “The Property Market”. There is of course no single property market and varying influences will affect different parts of it in very different ways. Thus, at the lower price levels, the government’s Help to Buy Scheme has undoubtedly stimulated activity by freeing up the availability of finance. As price levels increase, the availability of mortgage finance becomes less of an influence and other factors take over. On top of the variations in activity at different prices levels, there are major differences in geographical locations. As a further layer of complexity, fashions or trends in the type of property that buyers seek create pockets where demand is most keenly felt. So how does this translate onto the ground in Devon and Cornwall? A recent statistic that I find illuminating on this point was derived from some basic research from the internet. At

the level of £500,000 in Devon over 50% of the properties listed were currently under offer. At £1 million the percentage was 4%, and at £2 million the percentage was 1%. This very graphically illustrates that, whilst the market up to £500,000 is very active, it very quickly ceases to be so above that level. At Savills our research further shows that the frenetic activity of London and the South East extends in tentacles along commuter corridors, predominantly in town and city locations. This is mirrored on a more regional level by greater market activity in more populated urban and suburban areas and less activity in the more rural locations. There is also an increasing awareness amongst those seeking to buy property of ongoing running costs. So modern energy efficient properties (or the older properties which have been adequately adapted) find greater favour than those that are thought

to be draughty and difficult to heat. Equally, elaborate grounds that might require paid for help to maintain, can sometimes be regarded as a negative factor by buyers. So what are our views on the market for the rest of this year ? We think it reasonable to expect these influences to remain, certainly until after the election next year. In addition, the simple dynamics of supply and demand affect the market. As we are not anticipating a significant uplift in the supply of new property into the market this year and many buyers from earlier in the year still have not met their requirements, we believe that, given the right pricing, the last quarter of 2014 could easily be similar to the last quarter of 2013 which, for Savills in Devon and Cornwall, was the most active quarter of the year. Our advice to those wishing to sell is therefore – make sure that you are correctly priced and you may

well find a buyer before Christmas. For those looking to purchase, there is potentially an extremely good opportunity now, as there is still a good choice of stock from earlier in the year with little prospect of this significantly increasing before May of next year, after which prices could easily begin to rise again.

Sizzling Summer for Rural Agency Penny Dart Head of South West Rural Agency 01392 455747 pdart@savills.com

So far 2014 is proving to be a bumper year for our South West rural agency. Due to the atrocious winter weather the farmland market got off to a very slow start with the market being starved of new instructions until late April when the sun broke through, the market burst into life and we haven’t had a chance to draw breath since. Amongst our top instructions has been a block of 400 acres of prime arable land at Starcross, near Exeter which attracted very strong interest at a guide of £10k/acre from commercial farmers and investors both inside and outside the region. Further west in Cornwall the renowned Roseland Peninsula has been a hotspot where we have been marketing Penhallow - an extensive and productive commercial farm of

about 570 acres and Trethella - an immaculate residential farm of 178 acres which are all under offer. The Cornish bare land market continues to move at pace with a recent example being a 50 acre block of arable land at Chapel Amble which sold significantly above the guide price and made in excess of £8,500/ acre. In Devon, 180 acres of productive land and modern buildings near Witheridge has recently sold well against a guide price of £8,600/acre. Whilst our Savills farmland survey shows that the average price of prime arable land in the region is £10,000/acre this masks the disparity between prices achieved for the best and the rest. We have regularly achieved between £12k £15k/ acre for the best land in the best locations over the last 12 months. The benign treatment of farmland for Inheritance Tax and its history as a safe haven for capital in troubled times is reflected in a strong investment market as demonstrated by the successful recent private sale of a commercial

arable farm of over 350 acres let on an secure Agricultural Holdings Act tenancy. Further evidence of the interest in this sector of the market is a portfolio of let agricultural property being part of the Port Eliot Estate at St Germans which is under offer following a competitive bidding process. After a busy 2013 the Exmoor market has again been active. In early June we launched an immaculate estate of 457 acres on the edge of the moor with a

recently constructed principal house of classical proportions for which we invited offers in excess of £5m. After a busy few weeks marketing we have just concluded a successful sale. For the late summer market we are just launching the 575 acre Scoresdown Farm, Near Lynton. An extensive hill farm with additional grazing rights and enjoying significant income from various schemes Scoresdown is available as a whole or in 5 lots at a guide price of £2 million.

ATED - The expense of being a non natural person Mike Townsend Director Exeter 01392 455708 mtownsend@savills.com

This year’s Budget widened the scope of the Annual Tax on Enveloped Dwellings (ATED) to include residential properties valued at more than £1 million, but less than £2 million next year and then even further to include those valued at more than £500,000, but less than £1 million in 2016. These changes will take effect in April of each year. An HMRC form must be returned before the beginning of April and any tax (if due) must be paid by the 30th April. The valuation date in all cases is 1st April 2012. The tax is levied on “Non Natural Persons” owning dwellings in the UK at the rates shown in the table. There are a number of reliefs which can only be claimed by

completing and returning the HMRC form. The next revaluation will be on 1st April 2017 and then every five years. However, where a property is significantly improved or a replaced an earlier revaluation may be triggered. Mike Townsend of Savills Exeter comments, “Interestingly, whilst the tax payable increases each year by any movement in the Consumer Price Index the chargeable bands do not.” Rural and farming businesses which own properties through company vehicles are effectively “Non Natural Persons” and may fall foul of this legislation. Those businesses would be well advised to take advice at least as to whether or not their dwellings are liable for the tax. Advice will also be needed where there is more than one dwelling at a property, such as staff accommodation. In this instance the question arises as to whether the other dwellings should be included with the principal dwelling, or valued separately.

The reliefs include residential properties that are leased out by a qualifying property rental business or held for sale in a qualifying property development/ trading business and qualifying farmhouses occupied by working farmers. Do remember that owners of properties claiming relief must still submit a return to HMRC, including a valuation. Mike Townsend again, “The lowering of the value bands from the previous £2 Value of Dwelling

Annual Tax 2014/2015

million threshold extends the likelihood of rural properties falling within the ATED legislation. The reliefs from the tax are of immense value and I would encourage companies that own property to take advice as soon as possible as to whether or not their dwellings will be subject to the tax. Where the property does not qualify for relief the importance of an accurate valuation is obvious and where tax is due a professional valuation must be provided.” Annual Tax 2015/2016

Should we get used to volatility? Jonathan Cunliﬀe Director 01872 243200 jcunliffe@savills.com

Years ago I remember changes in behaviour of the property market were gradual and took many years. Prices went up for long periods, and retreated in a similar way. The troughs were long and there were many years between changes in sentiment. During my first weeks in the business in the early 90s I was taught that a property market (like many others) is driven by this sentiment. Greed drives the market (and prices) up, and fear pulls it back. This sentiment used to be set in for many years before changing direction, building momentum gradually. Now it seems that this sentiment changes almost weekly, driven surely by 24 hour news channels, the internet and social media platforms such as Twitter. What’s more, we live in a global economy, where economic shocks on one side of the planet affect economies on the other

side within minutes. This in turn can affect government policy, and the UK housing market is now undoubtedly political. Is this market behaviour temporary, or should we get used to it on a permanent basis? Are volatile stock markets and housing markets just a bi-product of the internet age?

Looking back over the last ten years, Cornwall experienced a rampant bull market from 2004 until 2007, with a dramatic correction in 2008. But by 2010, most parts of the county were back very close to peak, but 2011 and 2012 saw some steep falls until the middle of 2013, which would seem to mark the recent low. From the autumn

of 2013 until April this year, prices recovered some ground rising strongly, but now the market feels cool once again, with some deals falling apart and some buyers making silly offers. Looking at the last twelve months, the strengthening market since last summer could be put down to Helpto-Buy, and the recent slowdown probably has a lot to do with the constant speculation about rising interest rates and ‘house price bubble’ in the media. The former gives buyers confidence, and the latter unsettles them. The recent cooling of the market could also have something to do with the strengthening of the Pound, which might make London look slightly less attractive to all those foreign buyers, or it could be the increase in properties coming on to the market in spring time. Whatever the reason or reasons, whether one looks at the last month, the last twelve months, or the last decade, we have a volatile, choppy property market, one in which it is difficult to look too far into the future. My best guess is that we should all get used to it. Volatility could be here to stay.

Easing the stress of Compulsory Purchase Orders Sam Kirkness Rural Surveyor Exeter 01392 455705 skirkness@savills.com

Alice Berryman Associate Truro 01872 243250 aberryman@savills.com

The A380 South Devon Link Road should bring an end to traffic jams when it opens next year – but the compensation process will be far from over for those affected, as Sam Kirkness of Savills explains. Two of our professional team, Mike Townsend and Sam Kirkness began working with people affected by the A380 South Devon Link Road, Kingskerswell Bypass about two years ago. At that stage construction of the bypass had not even commenced, but we were already providing advice to many affected by the Compulsory Purchase Order for this road scheme, notably farmers, businesses, and residential property owners. Construction of the new bypass is

underway and it is expected to be completed towards the end of 2015. However, our involvement will continue long after vehicles have begun using the new route because we will then be representing property owners who have not lost land but have still been affected by the physical impact of the new road. These claims may only be submitted 12 months after the road is first opened to traffic. At the end of the process, we will also be dealing with the final compensation claims for our clients who have had land taken by the scheme. Under statute, even those who do not have land taken by the scheme

may be entitled to compensation for any depreciation in the value of their property caused by the road. For the A380 SDLR Kingskerswell Bypass scheme, we are currently representing over 60 claimants and we have been advising them on advance payments of compensation and accommodation works which are being carried out as part of the project. This is an area in which our team of surveyors has developed unrivalled expertise with a wealth of understanding of the local area. Mike Townsend has been dealing with

compulsory purchase compensation for over 30 years and acted for numerous businesses and householders when the A30 Honiton - Exeter section was built in the late 1990s. The latest road scheme upon which we are providing advice is the widening of the A30 near Bodmin, where we are already representing several clients, and we are expecting to hear from land owners and property owners around Truro following the recent announcement of new road widening proposals between Chiverton Cross and Carland Cross.

From Smallholdings to Farms – the opportunities Miles Webber Rural Surveyor Exeter 01392 455710 mwebber@savills.com

Michael Greet Associate Truro 01872 243255 mgreet@savills.com

From Smallholdings to Farms, Savills South West Rural team are offering a variety of Rural lettings this Autumn. A quick glance at properties

available gives an idea of the diverse opportunities being marketed. Paynes Farm, which is part of the National Trust’s Killerton Estate near Broadclyst is available to let and has much to offer potential tenants. It is a diverse small-holding in just under 11 acres, located within easy reach of Exeter. The accommodation consists of a spacious five bedroom farmhouse, an established three bedroom holiday cottage and a diverse range of traditional and modern buildings with potential subject to planning, all sitting in it’s own land surrounding the farmstead. The National Trust are offering a five

year agreement in order to find long term tenants wishing to make it their home and perhaps a base for their business. Paynes Farm is being marketed for £2,000 per calendar month and viewings will be on 9th September 8.30am-1pm and 19th September 12pm – 5.30pm. Prior to attending the viewing day please contact us to register for a full set of particulars Alternatively, for those farmers looking to farm extra acreage without having to purchase, our Truro team are dealing with the Letting of Treyone Farm in South East Cornwall, on the Bake Estate near Hessenford. It is available to let from March 2015

on a Farm Business Tenancy. With about 330 acres of arable and pasture land and modern farm buildings It is a rare opportunity to rent a block of land of this size, so we are expecting considerable interest. The recent offering of some accommodation land on the Escot Estate near Talaton has also created strong interest from local farmers and from further afield. This block of just over 107 acres of productive pasture land is available for rent from 29th September 2014 on a Farm Business Tenancy. Tenders have been submitted but what it has shown is that there is keen interest out there for these types of property.

Prime redevelopment opportunity in the popular coastal town of Sidmouth comes to the market Nick Jones, head of Savills Development, Exeter njones@savills.com

01392 455 700 A well known, exceptional redevelopment site in the popular coastal town of Sidmouth is coming to the market as a result of East Devon District Council s decision to relocate to new offices. The site, known as the Knowle, has been home to the Council s headquarters since the 1970s, but the increasing cost of maintaining and running an ageing building stock, coupled with the occupational inefficiencies, have prompted the Council’s decision to move. The Knowle site represents an extremely rare opportunity to acquire an exceptional redevelopment location within a stunning parkland setting in the desirable and affluent town of Sidmouth. Sidmouth is adjacent to an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and forms part of the protected Jurassic Coastline. The Knowle is prominently located to the north

west of the town centre and the topography of the site means that much of it benefits from southerly sea views. The property, in the development area is not listed and is not within a Conservation Area. The Knowle is within the built up boundary of Sidmouth and the site has a draft allocation for 50 dwellings in the emerging East Devon Local Plan, which is expected to be adopted during 2015. The site extends to approximately 4.76 acres. The Council expects to be in a position to grant vacant possession by May 2017. The Council will be advocating a high quality form of development commensurate with the natural beauty of the site. It would like to reach an agreement with the Town Council of Sidmouth whereby they take over ownership and management of the remaining parkland and this is the subject of discussion. Otherwise, EDDC will retain and manage the parkland in the absence of another agreement. The Knowle is a very special site in a stunning location and we expect to receive strong interest from a wide variety of parties. The site could suit a range of uses and it will be interesting to see what

proposals come forward as a result of the marketing campaign. Richard Cohen, Deputy Chief Executive, states that “The Knowle site represents a rare and high quality development opportunity. The existing building stock at the Knowle is now not fit for the Council’s purpose and our decision to relocate has been driven by a desire to deliver a modern council from modern offices. We are open minded about future uses for the site and the Council believes that the redevelopment opportunity within a retained parkland will be an attractive development and a strong legacy adding to the vibrancy of the town.” The Council is also disposing of their nearby Manstone Depot, which extends to 1.33 acres and is situated within a residential area accessed off Tully Gardens, 1.2 miles north of the town centre. The property is currently used by the District Council as its depot facility. The site has the benefit of a draft allocation for 20 dwellings within the emerging East Devon Local Plan. The Council expects to provide vacant possession by the end of 2015.

for over 40 years but now we need to move. We believe the sale of both of these sites will provide value for Council Tax payers and the proposed relocation to new premises will enable the District Council to move with the times and provide outstanding services from a much better, more efficient building.” The Knowle and Manstone Depot are available for sale independently or in combination. The sites are being offered for sale by informal tender and the deadline for submission of offers is Wednesday 22nd October 2014.

69 Church Lane, Yealmpton Auction guide: £125,000

A two-bedroom cottage with a south-facing garden, in a quiet location Agents: Auctioned by Luscombe Maye on October 9 at the White Hart Hotel in Modbury, Devon (01548 857 474, www.luscombemaye.com)

Hillside Court, Bugle, St Austell Guide: £700,000 - £750,000

Lots of interest in “Who’ll start me? Yes? No? You’re a fresh one, sir. I’ll take the half. You’re out... shout if I don’t see you.” Lucsombe Maye’s senior partner Stuart Hext has been auctioning properties for 22 years, and the way he works a packed room at Modbury’s White Hart Hotel is slightly hypnotic. “£18,000, I see you now, £19,000, you’re out, sir, £20,000 in the blue, £21,000... Five, if you like. Against you sir.” Is there a word in the dictionary to describe an auctioneer in full flow? Whatever it is, it has some of the poetic qualities of Auden’s Night Mail heading to its final destination. Stuart chivvies and rounds up bidders with words and gestures, much as a shepherd would command a sheepdog. Needless to say, it’s not as easy as it sounds. My task today is to warm up the crowd by auctioning a bottle of champagne in aid of the RNLI. I’m completely flustered before I even ask “Who’ll start me?” “You could encourage them to bid by saying that if you are successful in buying your property, you can have an immediate celebration,” suggests Stuart. “What you want to do is begin at quite a low level, because then people will jump in – start at £10, and take it at £2 increments. When people stop bidding, start going up by ones.” I take his advice but progress isn’t brisk. The hammer finally goes down at £30, sold to a gentleman standing at the back of the room with a look of amused sympathy on his face. It’s with unfeigned relief I slink back to my seat to watch a professional at work – Luscombe Maye has 11 lots for sale ranging from a building plot with bucolic views and planning permission near Newton Ferrers, to two apartments in a stately home conversion. The most unusual lot is a 32 metre stretch of quay on the river Dart at Totnes (guide price, £25,000), but the fiercest bidding begins pretty near the beginning. It is over a two-storey stone barn next to the pretty St George’s Church in Modbury, with a guide price of just £15,000. It doesn’t take much imagination to convert this property into a lovely house (subject to obtaining planning permission, of course). The bidding begins at £17,000 and the hammer goes down at £36,000. It will be interesting to see how and when this property appears on the market again.

Catherine Barnes makes a valiant bid to wield the hammer, under the expert tutelage of Lucsombe Maye’s senior partner Stuart Hext Stuart reveals he’d valued the property at around £30,000, explaining that at this price, an auction sale was better value for buyer and seller. “You could have put a lot work into selling it by private treaty, but that involves solicitors and lots of to-ing and fro-ing which can take forever,” he says. “So really you’re better off just dealing with it with a short sharp shock.” Guide prices are generally fixed at

‘Start low to get people to jump in. Go up by £2 increments until the bidding stops, then change to £1’ slightly below what the agent feels the property is worth. “We aim to get bums on seats, then hope that people’s hearts will rule their minds at an auction. “They’ll come saying, I’m only going to spend £200,000 - but when it gets there, they may go to another two or three bids.”

Freehold of modern apartment block and fifteen units within it. Twelve of them are currently let, with annual rental incomes totalling £75,240 Agents: Coming up at the Clive Emson sale on September 18 at the St Mellion International Resort in Cornwall (01392 366 555 www.cliveemson.co.uk)

It was auction stations for bidders at the White Hart Hotel in Modbury

The advent of property shows such as Homes Under the Hammer have opened up the nation’s eyes to ‘ripe for conversion’ opportunities like the church barn that a canny investor can do up and sell on. Luscombe Maye’s auction also includes a 1930s’ bungalow in need of modernisation, which Stuart says is more likely to attract a homebuyer willing to put in the work. A plot of agricultural land with modern farm buildings, he reckons, could attract developers. For the seller, the beauty of auctions is that the properties can be sold speedily to willing buyers without weeks or months of viewings, surveys and negotiations over price. “A lot of properties come into auction because we think they will generate a lot of interest,” he says. “ If you offered them for sale by private treaty you’d get people making bids and it can be quite unwieldy to manage. This way, you give everyone a fair chance, bring them all into one room and they can all compete against each other. It’s a fair and transparent way of selling. “Some of the homes need work, while another of today’s has agricultural occupancy restrictions, which is quite unusual. “ Generally it’s difficult for people to get mortgages on properties like these. We’re after your cash buyers, who’ve got the money ready to go.” Once the hammer goes down, there is no going back. When a property is sold, the buyer must pay an immediate deposit fixed at 10% of the sale price, and complete the deal within 28 days – Luscombe Maye doesn’t charge a buyer’s premium, although stamp duty charges do apply. While the property agents set the guide price, it’s the seller who decides what they are willing to settle for, should the bids not go high enough. The reserve prices are confidential. Bids peak at £330,000 on a tiny three-bedroom fisherman’s cottage in Noss Mayo, on the market for the first time in 50 years and with a guide price of £350,000. Stuart invites the bidders to see him after the auction, where offers will be negotiated between interested parties and the seller to see if they can agree a mutually acceptable deal. In this case, the seller holds out for a better offer. “If they don’t have to sell the property immediately, some sellers will hold on in the open market in the hope of attracting offers closer to the price they want to achieve,” he says. The cottage is among some 300 properties showcased for sale on

44 holiday homes Homes with holiday letting potential selected by Melanie Cassidy of Helpful Holidays 60 South Lane, Nether Stowey, Somerset, £325,000

Fuelling interest All properties need updating – and we should all be thinking greener, writes Julia Gray At the turn of the season, we should be thinking about effectively heating and insulating our properties. This is also relevant for holiday homeowners who rent through the winter paying guests don’t often prioritise saving heat. If your home or rented property could use re-investment, think about cutting your carbon footprint while also saving money. Boiler Bonus

This three-bedroom cottage, in the heart of the Quantock village, has an enclosed garden, and combines period character with contemporary mod cons. It would make a great year-round holiday retreat, with potential to achieve around £12,600 to £14,000 over a 30 to 35 week season. Agents: Wilkie May & Tuckwood, Taunton, 01823 332121, www.wilkie.co.uk

Maidencombe Cottage, Devon, guide £560,000

Large, beautiful gardens with uninterrupted sea views and a footpath almost from the door to the beach make this an impressive place for family get-togethers or friends to share. I’d estimate potential income of around £25,000 to £27,000 over a 30 to 35 week season. Agents: Stags, Torquay, 01803 200160, www.stags.co.uk

Grambla Cottage, Coverack, Cornwall, £279,950

Replacing an ageing boiler with a new one might seem like a big expense at first glance, but in the long run it’s a great saving. In fact, swapping an old G-rated (the least energy efficient) boiler for an A-rated (highefficiency) model could save you around £490 a year on running costs, according to the Energy Saving Trust (www.energysavingtrust.org.uk). This calculation was based on a detached house with gas central heating. “A boiler of 15 years old or more could be wasting as much as 30-40p of every pound spent on heating our home and water,” says Martyn Bridges, director of technical support at boiler manufacturer Worcester, Bosch Group. “Updating your heating system to an A-rated condensing boiler, such as one of Worcester’s Greenstar models, could make your system up to 90% efficient.” Having the right controls for your central heating system is also important. “I would recommend fitting thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs), as they offer individual room comfort and save energy by not allowing rooms to overheat,” says Bridges. “They regulate or cut off the flow of hot water to individual radiators, while the programmer and room thermostat control the heat to the whole house. A recent survey indicated that a central heating system with a full set of controls and TRVs could save up to 40% compared with an uncontrolled system.” Window wonders They say that money can fly out the

window, and when it comes to losing heat through your glass areas, this is certainly true. Replacing single-glazed windows with double or even triple-glazed ones (or fitting secondary glazing) should make the home warmer, quieter and less prone to condensation. You don’t have to buy modern windows – period-style wooden sash windows can be double glazed, for ex-

Your holiday home’s loft and external walls are big areas of heat loss ample. Alternatively, uPVC doubleglazed sashes, although less eco, are a good money-saving option. Your property’s loft and external walls are other primary areas of heat loss. Houses built from the 1920s onwards usually have cavity walls, and these can be injected with insulation to keep the heat in and cold out. Solid walls let through twice as much heat as cavity walls, but insulating them isn’t so straightforward. Perhaps the cheapest and easiest option, especially if you’re replastering anyway, is to use insulated plasterboard internally. Eco ideas You can go even further down the eco route than basic improvements. You could, for example, install a system for reusing ‘grey’ water, which includes used water from showers and

This is a gem of a cottage with two bedrooms and bathrooms and a sea-view terrace. It has parking space and the pub, shop, and sandy beach are all within a stroll. It has potential to achieve around £11,200 to £12,600 over 20 to 25 weeks.

A-rated condensing boiler in a kitchen could save around £490 a year on running costs

baths, or even generate your own electricity. This is typically done with a wind turbine or solar panels (different solar panels can be used to heat your home’s water), but remember domestic wind turbines only work well in certain locations, so solar panels are the best bet for most of us. Solar panels admittedly are expensive, but there are ways to cushion the financial blow, such as ‘rent-aroof ’ schemes. These supply the panels free of charge, providing you then give the supplier your income from the Government’s Feed-In Tariffs scheme, which also pays you for the electricity you generate. If you buy the panels yourself, you keep the Feed-In Tariffs income. Another big eco investment is a heat pump – this could work well if your holiday home is near your own property and can share the benefit. There are three types of heat pump: ground, air and water source. Ground source heat pumps extract warmth from the earth, while air source heat pumps take heat from the air outside. They use the heat extracted to heat your home and in some cases, provide hot water. Whatever the improvements you’re considering for your home or holiday home this winter, do what you can to help the planet – and your wallet at the same time.

Ask the experts Your holiday let questions answered Q. We have a barn conversion on our working farm which we use for friends and family. Would it be suitable for paying guests or would the working farm deter them? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; FL, St Just A. Katie Treseder, property manager for Helpful Holidays, says:

SATURDAY AUGUST 30 2014

Holiday accommodation on a smallholding or working farm has great appeal for families, who think it is an authentic way to introduce children to farm animals and farming culture. It can also be a useful way of subsidising your agricultural income. There are some safety issues which you need to consider. Animals, machinery and pesticides can be potentially dangerous. If the holiday cottage has a garden, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advisable to fence it well - not only to keep children and pets safe, but also to keep farm animals out. Ensure all equipment and machinery is securely stored and hazardous chemicals are kept in a locked unit. Guided tours with the opportunity for guests to ride on a trailer or to meet or feed small animals, such as lambs or hens, can be a good opportunity to monitor access to the farm. Providing a map of the farm marked with places were you are happy for your guests to wander can also be useful. At the time of booking itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably prudent to explain that the unpredictable nature of farming activities means that some areas may be inaccessible or activities unavailable. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advisable to discuss your new business venture with your farm insurer. Many now offer comprehensive policies which combine farm insurance with holiday cottage liability insurance.

use your pool, install signs which outline the pool capacity, water depths, hours of operation and diving restrictions. Signage is particularly important where there are sudden changes in water depth; the depth must be clearly marked in feet and metres at both the shallow and deep ends. Indication of where surfaces are potentially slippery and clear instructions on safe use of the pool and its equipment are also necessary. Draw up a list of pool rules which should be displayed in the vicinity of the pool, and reinforce them by including them within the cottage information folder. The Health & Safety Executive publishes an authoritative guidance booklet, Managing Health and Safety in Swimming Pools (HSG179), which we strongly recommend.

Q. I feel uncomfortable asking guests to pay a damages deposit on arrival. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the best way to handle this? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; PH, Holsworthy A. Gill Nicholls, property manager for Helpful Holidays, says: Asking your guests for a damages deposit the moment they arrive is not the best way to organise such things. We suggest you make the requirement for a damages deposit absolutely clear to guests at the time of booking and add the amount to their final payment, which should be paid prior to the holiday. Once youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a chance to check that everything is in order after your guests have left, then the deposit can be returned the following day. If you have a question for our holiday home experts, please send it via email to: wmnproperty@ westernmorningnews.co.uk

Q. We plan to let holidaymakers use our swimming pool. Please can you advise what safety signage is required? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; SJ, Salcombe A. Gaby Wakley, property manager for Helpful Holidays, says: Swimming pools, particularly indoor pools, are a great asset at holiday homes. They are potentially dangerous and pool owners must take steps to minimise the risks. Before allowing paying guests to

It probably seems as though the years have flown – only a short while ago your little one was starting school, and now that same youngster is leaving for college and looking forward to living independently. Although your pocket and your heart may already have taken a battering as they excitedly prepare to leave the nest, you still have to perform one important last parental duty before you say goodbye – settling them into their new room. Making it welcoming on that first day will lift their spirits and is a great distraction for you and them, especially if you’re both apprehensive (and a bit emotional) about them leaving home. Don’t underestimate the significance of the room. My eldest daughter nearly abandoned university on the first day after discovering her allocated room was a tiny, shabby cell and not the gleaming, modern space pictured in the college prospectus, which turned out to be in short supply and all taken. Luckily, a roll of lining paper and some sticky tape helped rehabilitate the dingy walls, and this, together with a liberal

New students need smart new spaces to study and socialise. Gabrielle Fagan checks out campus chic sprinkling of colourful throws and cushions, was enough to stop her dropping out in decor despair! “While moving into student accommodation is one of the most exciting life experiences, leaving home comforts behind as they step into a stark, empty room can be a bit of a reality check,” agrees Claire Hornby, creative stylist at Barker & Stonehouse. “Aside from them meeting their new neighbours, the first thing on the ‘to do’ list should be transforming that blank space into a stylish abode, that feels as cosy and welcoming as possible.

“Of course, primarily it’s about turning it into an attractive place to relax and study, but quickly ensuring it’s a real haven can really help settle a youngster’s first day nerves, as well as making parents feel better about the parting.” Swotting up on style is easy – high street and online stores are bursting with bargains perfect for bringing essential colour and character to a room, no matter how drab. You’ll pass the parental test with flying colours if you leave them happily ensconced in a room that’s so well kitted out, other students will flock to it...
