Think hard before picking an agent Selling or buying property involves a substantial financial investment and a lot of paperwork. If you were looking at a legal question of the same value, you would hire a lawyer. If it were a tax problem, you would hire a chartered accountant.

For a property sale, you need the professional assistance of an estate agent.

Not just any agent will do. This is someone you will be working closely with to ensure your sale or purchase is successful and hasslefree. You need an agent who will work with you, sitting in your corner, ready to offer practical advice and local market knowledge to maximise this significant life event.

A good estate agent will have connections in the market that benefit both the buyer and seller.

Agents work with all of the incendiary services in the real estate transaction process, and can refer you to these contacts when necessary. If you have a problem or need a service, your agent is there to help. Agents also apply experience in price negotiations; assist in evaluating the pros and cons of an offer and help with the legal paperwork required.

Particularly when selling a property, you want local knowledge and experience matched with

Make sure also that your agent knows your market – local knowledge is invaluable. An agent can give informed opinions about a property’s value, the neighbourhood and similar properties.

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, trust your instincts. Go with someone you feel comfortable with, develop a good working relationship, and let them guide you through the selling process. It can be that simple.

Whinfield boasts wonderful views and a wealth of period features

Gillian Molesworth discovers a Victorian villa on the edge of Dartmoor that’s been in the same family for three generations Today is the first day that Whinfield in South Brent has been on the market in 116 years. Since 1898, the Victorian villa has been the cherished home of the Collier family, who once owned Collier and Co Wine and Spirits Merchants on Plymouth’s Barbican.

It is easy to see why the Victorian Colliers chose Whitfield, a genteel residence with panoramic views over Dartmoor: it is the perfect blend of country living and well-connected convenience.

“It is a really good family house,” said John Collier, a retired naval officer who has lived in the house with his wife Anne for 30 years. “My grandparents lived here until the 1950s, and my father took it over in 1954 when I was 13 or 14. My sister

was married here, and so, more recently, was my daughter. This house has seen many family milestones.

“It was built on the site of an older smallholding in the 1850s. We think it was originally used as a hunting lodge by the Carews, who were an important local family. The Carews were my grandmother’s first cousins and my grandparents bought the house from them.”

With a package of seven acres including two paddocks, stables and outbuildings, a former tennis court with studio, and a detached cottage, Whinfield is ready to attract new owners to this much sought-after part of the South Hams. It is within Dartmoor National Park, half a mile from the village of South Brent, and 15 miles from the centre of Plymouth.

About the area Accessibility: Excellent. Whinfield is a mile from the A38 trunk road and 15 miles from Plymouth, according to the current owner it is “18 minutes to the Marsh Mills Roundabout and 35 minutes to Exeter”. Train lines accessible from Totnes (six miles) or Ivybridge (four miles). Regular bus service.

Village Life: Top notch. South Brent has a school, churches, doctors and dentists, chemist, butcher, bank, deli, pub, café, fish and chippie, supermarket, antiques shop and a clock maker. The wellused village hall has recently been refurbished for the many community groups that use it.

Schools: South Brent has both a pre-school and a primary school, rated “good” by Ofsted. There is a range of secondary education in the surrounding area, including South Dartmoor community College, which is “Outstanding”. There are grammar schools in both Torquay

and Plymouth. Plenty of private options in commuting distance also.

Eat out: There is a good range right on the doorstep in South Brent, from the popular Crumbs and Cuppa café to the Royal Oak or Packhorse Inn pubs. For a special night out, the Glazebrook House Hotel is nearby Leisure: Wrangaton golf course is a short drive away but the real boon of this property is Dartmoor National Park right on the doorstep, with its many gorgeous walks and rides. The South Coast beaches are a 15minute drive, and also close by is the Dart river and Torbay, with its range of attractions Shopping: There are antiques and local arts and crafts to be found in South Brent or try nearby Totnes for a range of artisan goods. Plymouth and Exeter are both great places to hit the High Street. For day-to-day goods, the area has a good range of independent food suppliers as well as supermarkets

WMN-E01-S6

The Colliers have substantial families: two generations had four children, the latest, three. When John and Anne first moved to Whinfield, they lived across the stable yard in the cottage. After they moved to the big house in the 1980s, they converted the cottage to a holiday let which has been providing income ever since.

“Everyone always says Whinfield has a lovely feel,” said Anne, a keen gardener who has lovingly kept up the property’s historic gardens and added to them. “It’s large enough to be comfortable, but it’s not intimidating.”

The house boasts many handsome period features, from cornice ceilings to ornamental fireplaces and surrounds. The dining room has doubleglazed French doors to the garden, with glorious views. The light and airy playroom has windows to both the front and side. Practical features include a utility room, cloakroom, and rear hall with built-in cupboards.

The kitchen has a range of custom built wooden cupboard units under a polished granite work surface, a tiled floor and wall-mounted plate rack.

Families can enjoy cosy meals in the pretty breakfast room, keeping warm by the solid fuel Aga. Anne said: “I love the views in the house – it is in a beautiful situation,

Whinfield has been in the same Devon family for more than a century and you can see moorland and rolling hills. There’s always something to admire. We haven’t knocked it about too much – we have respected the history of the house and kept it in good condition.

“It’s a blank canvas for someone who wanted to come in and put their touch on it. It isn’t listed, so there’s plenty of opportunity.”

Upstairs, the dual aspect master

bedroom is the jewel in the crown. It looks over lovely countryside to the south – a wonderful view first thing in the morning. It is connected to a dressing room with a basin, that could be converted to an en suite.

There are a further four bedrooms, a shower room, a bathroom, and a WC, offering flexibility for a houseful.

Outside, the gardens are Anne’s pride and joy. “Some of the trees and

shrubs were part of the original layout,” she said. “There are specimen trees and flowering shrubs laid out in the landscape. I am interested in plants and I’ve tried to rearrange the gardens a bit, while also respecting their history.

“There are wonderful showy herbaceous borders around the house, with peonies, roses, lots of little alpines and lavender. We have hellebores, and climbing roses – there’s always something to see, all year around.”

Horse owners will love the Victorian features of the stables, with iron railings and an adjacent coach house, now a garage. There are three loose boxes and two paddocks with a history of keeping horses happy: family lore has it that the Collier and Co cart horses used to take a vacation here every summer.

John and Anne love South Brent and are downsizing to a smaller property in the area. None of their three children is in a position to take it on – so Whinfield is ready to begin a new dynasty with new owners.

What next for the Ben Stephens of Stags, Truro, on the Cornish property market in 2014 It may be starting to fade from memory but only 12 short months ago the mood in the UK housing market was not a particularly positive one.

However, as we enter the summer of 2014, the reports from our 19 Westcountry offices paint a very different picture – one that is dominated by consumer confidence.

The early months of this year were undoubtedly affected by the atrocious weather and ensuing media coverage that portrayed the South West – and particularly Cornwall – as an area of the country that is cut-off and isolated. This inevitably impacted on the supply of property arriving on the market and, to some extent, demand from purchasers.

But the advent of spring has seen resurgence in demand, though, with viewings quickly rising to levels in excess of the same time in 2013.

Supply of houses for sale did not react quite as swiftly, resulting in pent-up demand and a flurry of agreed sales.

The milder months have focused the minds of homeowners onto their plans to move and we are now experiencing a rapid increase in new instructions. A word of caution however – accurate pricing is still essential to attract quality buyers.

Land Registry statistics for the year ending January 2014 show that average house prices in England and Wales rose by 4.2%. Within that overall trend, London prices rose 10.9% and the South West fell somewhat short of this at 2.6%. So we need a dose of reality before we announce a housing bubble here in the region.

But nonetheless, the Nationwide House price Index indicates that the South West’s average house price is now just below its peak of 2007, further evidence of an increasingly confident market.

With our three offices in Launceston, Truro and Plymouth, here at Stags we have spotted several trends in buyer behaviour in Cornwall. One such notable change has been the increase in demand for holiday cottage complexes with several finding buyers in the spring months, including one called Badgers Sett near Golitha Falls, recently sold by Stags off a guide price of £795,000.

Lifestyle businesses have long proved attractive to buyers in Cornwall, with the recent economic downturn causing somewhat of a hiatus in this traditionally strong market sector.

Waterside and coastal property is another sector where significant changes have been evident. Stags Waterside Department saw a 75% increase in the number of waterside properties sold between 2012 and 2013, with around 70% of all property launched actually finding a buyer.

While the usual suspects of Fowey, Padstow, St Ives and Rock remain sought-after, the less well-known sections of Cornish coastline, including South East Cornwall and the captivating Lizard Peninsula, are start-

ing to attract their own aficionados.

Our recently-published Stags Waterside magazine features a superb selection of properties along our varied coastline. A copy can be viewed on our website www.stags.co.uk or obtained from your local office.

But for canny house hunters, the real trick is to move away from the coast of Cornwall and explore the picturesque villages that the county has to offer.

Great swathes of Cornwall’s rural hinterland are designated as Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, including much of West Cornwall and the rugged landscape of Bodmin Moor.

Blisland on Bodmin Moor, complete with village green and Camra- awardwinning pub, falls into this category,

‘Increasing numbers of active buyers are registering to find the home of their dreams’ as does nearby St Breward with its 11th century inn and the highest church in Cornwall. Both have easy access to the A30 and their central location means the north and south coasts are within driving distance.

We are currently selling Mellon Farm (pictured above left) two miles from St Breward, which is an enchanting moorland farmhouse, holiday cottage and 17.4 acres. It is for sale at £650,000, and is truly one for those seeking an idyllic rural lifestyle.

So what of the year ahead? Well, as the sun continues to shine, an increasing number of active buyers are registering to find the home of their dreams in this magnificent county.

Those vendors who have accepted realistic pricing advice and have a proactive marketing strategy will certainly reap the rewards in 2014.

Many London property owners are now in search of homes in the Westcountry

So who is moving West this year?

By James Baker of Strutt & Parker, Exeter Here at Strutt & Parker we have seen a significant reduction in the number of home buyers selling up in London to move to the country.

In the first quarter of 2013, 9% of sellers planned to move from the capital to the countryside, but by the third quarter this figure had dropped to 5% and by the end of the year just 2% of sellers planned to leave London.

The ever-widening price gap between properties in London and those outside could go some way to explain this slowdown. However, as country house prices are now starting to recover, a sea change could be imminent, and Strutt & Parker expects to see a boost in the number of prospective home buyers leaving London in the coming months.

The huge price differential between London and the country has been at the front of everyone’s minds for some time.

Now is a great time to take advantage of the value gap and move

to a home with more space and a bigger garden – or release some equity if required.

While many prospective home movers may have decided to stay put over the past year to take advantage of surging house prices in London, we expect to see a shift throughout this spring and summer.

Another trend Strutt & Parker has seen is up-sizing: young couples in their thirties are moving out from flats in London and buying their first large family home, but still retaining their property in the capital. A lot of up-sizers are going for let-to-buy mortgages so that they can keep their London flat as a rental investment as well as finance the move. This shrewd manoeuvre allows buyers to keep a foothold in the capital’s booming market and stay equity-rich, while moving to the Westcountry.

Will the market bloom in 2014?

To compare the first quarter of 2013 with the same period in 2014 shows what a massive improvement there has been in the market in general over the past 12 months.

Here at Bradleys we have 33 offices covering the whole of the Westcountry, from Taunton to Penzance, and operate in all sectors of the market place. So we are well placed to spot what is really happening in the South West property market.

First up, the statistics. Our new instructions coming on to the market are up by 8%. The sales agreed are up by 30% and the average price of a property being sale agreed in quarter one of 2014 is £202,000, which is an increase of 4.7% over the same period last year.

These few simple facts say so much about the current market. Yes, the instructions coming to the market are increasing but are not coming fast enough. Sales are increasing at a much faster rate. The average price of property being sold is increasing at an acceptable rate but this could escalate if sales continue to increase faster than new properties come onto the market.

This is the very simple rule of supply and demand and is precisely the reason why a shortage of new homes being built in the South West is contributing to rising house prices.

Another cause of the shortage is the amount of property used for second homes and commercial letting.

Wealthy out-of-area buyers are taken by the favourable climate and scenery here and, again, contribute to the supply and demand equation.

There is only one solution and that is to build a lot more homes and make them suitable for permanent residences. At the same time, building property suited to holiday use and second homes will supply that sector of the market.

That is the basics but there are other factors affecting the Westcountry market, too. Our economy is improving and confidence has returned

Francis Marshall of Bradleys crunches some numbers but the property market has been given a huge boost in the form of the Government’s Help to Buy Scheme enabling most buyers to get on the ladder with just a 5% deposit.

The Chancellor’s most recent budget also provided more good news for property by changing the pension rules. Retirees can now use their pension pot for whatever they want instead of being forced to buy an annuity. A good percentage of them will now invest their pension nest egg in rental property to provide a better rate of return. This will again bring more buyers to the market and further drive demand.

While everything sounds great and full steam ahead for the property market in the South West, I know of a couple of pitfalls in store. The Law Society had advised its members that the increase in property transactions is a “blip”. Well, all I can say is, before you decide which lawyer to use make sure you pin them down on the time they will take to get your transaction through. Our experience at Bradleys is many lawyers are snowed under and a job that really should not take any longer than six-eight weeks is taking about twice as long, due to lawyers being over-committed.

The downside of this problem is that frustrations can run high when things take too long. Sales are going wrong when they really should not, purely down to frustration over time scales.

Until now mortgages have been

reasonably freely available and rates are at rock bottom so again this is another positive part of the jigsaw in the recovering market place. The Governor of the Bank of England, Mark Carney, has stated that any increase in mortgage rates will be both slow and small, so there is no danger of killing off the recovery and buyers can proceed in confidence.

There is one big change about to come into effect, however. The Mortgage Market Review is going to change the way lenders consider an applicant for a mortgage. They are going to ask a lot more questions and look a lot more at lifestyle and actual affordability in line with spending/ saving habits. My early thoughts are that, while this is a good thing for the long-term future of the market and consumers, it will undoubtedly put another brake on the transaction period. If lenders want to ask more and have proof of more expenditure, then the process will certainly take longer.

Overall, my advice to buyers is that the market will never be this good again. If you are thinking of buying your first home, up-sizing or buying an investment property then now is the time.

Forge Cottage, Holne £249,950

Rugged uplands never far away I find selling property within the Dartmoor National Park a pleasure. The towns, villages and rural areas here contain a wide variety of housing to suit most pockets.

What is more, Dartmoor has always attracted interest, not just for those seeking property but for all sorts of reasons. It is a playground for walkers, climbers, conservationists and artists – the list goes on. It is also one of the most iconic and special landscapes in the country and is undeniably inspirational.

Today, access via the major arterial routes to the region’s economic centres is good. So wherever you buy, the rugged uplands of the moor and the wooded valleys around the perimeter are never far away.

So, who is buying and who is selling here right now? Sales so far this year have been good and, providing the price is right, there have been plenty of buyers across all price ranges, often drawn from all over the UK. Country properties have had a particularly good start. One example is a property called Canna Park, in the middle of the moor, close to the villages of Manaton and North Bovey.

Here at Rendells we sold this lovely property to a Devon-based purchaser, off a guide price of £649,995.

Canna Park is a fine example of a late 19th century Dartmoor house. It is built in a sheltered position, facing south west looking out towards Shapley Tor and Common. The property is built of the classic Dartmoor granite, with a hipped slate roof and is set in two acres. The interior has a traditional layout with reception rooms either side of a central hall, a farmhouse kitchen and five bedrooms.

Within the grounds is a former coach house with planning permission for conversion into residential accommodation.

A pretty two-bedroomed cottage in a charming village on the gentle edge of the moor, this property is within an easy drive of the main A38 expressway.

Brocks Way, near Bovey Tracey £895,000

Richard Mansell of Rendells looks at the Dartmoor market Another strong sale we had recently was a house called South Park, at Ilsington. It dates from the early 20th century and was built for a local farming family. This property had literally never been sold before. Here at Rendells, we took instructions from the estate of the former owner and offered the 31-acre property, in need of

‘Dartmoor is one of the country’s most iconic landscapes’ renovation, on the open market as a whole or in lots.

After much interest, a sale of the house and surrounding amenity land has just been arranged, again to a local buyer. The remaining farmland will be sold at a later date, probably by auction. South Park was offered for sale with a guide price of £845,000 for the whole. Generally speaking, the market for Dartmoor property in the

price ranges between £400,000£800,000 is particularly strong, with demand outweighing supply. Increasingly, I am seeing buyers drawn to the thriving small towns and villages in and around the Dartmoor National Park that offer a good range of amenities. Towns such as Chagford, Moretonhampstead, Bovey Tracey and Ashburton contain an interesting mix of properties for families, retirees and those downsizing for ease of living.

For example, we have recently taken instructions to sell a Victorian cottage in the village of Holne, pictured above right, near Ashburton. It has an open fire and Aga, a garden overlooking the church and two bedrooms, priced at £249,950.

Alternatively, on the edge of Chagford, we have a smart apartment with a stylish modern interior within walking distance of the bustling town centre, also £249,950.

Both properties have easy access to the high moor and countryside, yet the centre of Exeter is around half an hour’s drive away. Here on Dartmoor, you can have the best of both worlds.

House hunters heading north I have just opened a new office in north Devon for the national estate agency firm, Jackson-Stops & Staff. I have been extremely pleased and encouraged by the amount of inquiries we have received since first opening for business in Barnstaple on April 7 this year.

This all augurs well for the property market in this area. Already, we have a healthy number of properties lined up to enter the market, and are receiving a growing number of inquiries from customers about marketing their properties.

Here in North Devon, many of our buyers are looking for a fresh start, away from their busy city way of life elsewhere in the country.

We are also seeing plenty of people looking for a second home, too – a coastal or country retreat to give them an escape from the hustle and bustle of London and the South East.

From a seller’s point of view, I believe the time has never been better to put your house on the market. The economic recovery does not appear to be slowing up, and at times good houses are in short supply. There is an increasing demand for quality, character houses to come on the market.

Having said that, house prices in the North Devon area are not rocketing up with the improving economic climate. Nevertheless, I believe that the area’s house prices will, in due course, start to rise gradually with the blossoming market.

We are already starting to see properties going “under offer” before they even enter the market properly, which can only be a sign that we are once again on our way to seeing a seller’s market here.

North Devon’s property market is well placed to perform strongly this year. It has glorious sandy beaches

Popular coastal village resorts include Saunton Sands, Croyde, Putsborough, Woolacombe and Instow.

‘This area has glorious beaches stretching for miles’ There are also many idyllic country villages such as Marwood, Heanton, Georgeham, Chittlehampton, Abbotsham and Westleigh. These few are just a handful out of hundreds of desirable locations within the North Devon region.

Properties in these “honeypot” locations are well placed to prove pop-

ular and I expect them to be in high demand, especially as the summer season approaches.

Already, there are many people wishing to have a second home by the sea, or a quiet country residence in the Devon countryside. These types of properties can attract a remarkable amount of interest if they are priced realistically.

These days, there are excellent transport links to the heart of North Devon. The North Devon Link Road (A361) leads from Barnstaple through to Junction 27 of the M5 motorway at Tiverton in about 45 minutes by car.

Tiverton Parkway railway station has rail links to London Paddington in around two hours. There are also rail links from Barnstaple railway station to Exeter, and from there, further afield.

As the only national estate agency with an office in North Devon, we are able to offer a marketing service and coverage through our network of more than 40 offices nationwide, including eight in London with our flagship office at Mayfair in the heart of central London.

Despite the floods that affected much of the Westcountry earlier this year, demand for farmland across Devon and Cornwall remains as strong as ever.

Here at Savills, this April we carried out a farmland value survey. Our figures suggest that, nationally, farmland values continue to increase as supply remains limited and demand continues. Average prime arable farmland values are estimated to have increased by 1.5% over the first quarter of this year.

According to the same report, national supply remains an issue.

However, there are always regional variations. In quarter one of 2014, 2,504 acres of land from nine farms were advertised in the South West, representing an increase of supply of 4% compared to the same period of last year.

While demand may not have been dampened by the floods, they have certainly had a profound impact on farmers’ bottom lines. Only time will tell if increased pressures on farm incomes and cash flows, particularly in the livestock sector, will lead to an increase in distress sales.

Certainly, interest and viewings have been high across Westcountry farmland in the first quarter of this year. This has particularly been the case at Penhallow Farm in Cornwall (see panel on right) an extensive and productive commercial and residential farm of about 570 acres on the beautiful Roseland Peninsula.

The Cornish land market continues to move at pace and we have recently achieved good sales on two blocks in the county. The first of these was 56.77 acres of arable and pasture land at Trethill, Torpoint. Divided into four good-sized enclosures, this is a productive block of gently sloping fertile land capable of supporting a wide range of cropping. The second piece was at Chapel Amble, comprising a productive block of arable land extending to 49.39 acres.

Moving further east, we have recently marketed just over 400 acres of grade one and two arable land at

Prime land on sale now Penhallow Farm, Ruan High Lanes, Cornwall, £5.5 million

With 569 acres of productive farmland, this is one of the largest land sales in the region this year. The farm comes with a Georgian house, holiday cottage and agricultural buildings on Cornwall’s beautiful Roseland Peninsula.

Land at Cowley, Exeter £1 million Cofford Farm comprises 408 acres of top-quality arable land and overlooks the Exe estuary

Penny Dart of Savills South West Rural Agency takes a look at land values in the region Starcross near Exeter overlooking the Exe estuary. Cofford Farm comprises 408 acres of top-quality arable land with a recently built 1600 tonne grain store. It has stunning views of the Exe estuary and coast. Situated in an attractive and accessible location, the land is capable of a range of combinable and vegetable cropping.

The land is available for purchase

either as a whole or in five separate lots.

All in all, 2014 looks set to be a busy and productive year for farmland sales. And with the winter now behind us, it is clearly time for those considering selling their land to make hay while the sun shines.

Farmland as sought-after as ever

BY TONY OVERHILL of Greenslade Taylor Hunt, Tiverton It was Mark Twain, the American author, who first coined the phrase “buy land, they’re not making it any more”. Today, more than 100 years on, this saying has never been more true.

Demand for land continues to outstrip supply and in a marketplace where availability has remained more or less static for the past decade, it is not surprising that Westcountry land values continue to rise.

As an investment, land values have increased by more than 200% in the past decade and as an investment land has, on occasion, outperformed gold.

Last year we at Greenslade Taylor

Hunt sold nearly 4,000 acres of farms, smallholdings and land by auction, private treaty and tender. The variations in values across the region are enormous, depending primarily on quality, location and accessibility.

Strong local and neighbouring competition inevitably plays its part and will, more often than not, override all other factors.

So what are the prospects for this year? As spring beckons, and we enter the traditional season for the sale of farms and land, it is clear from the increasing number of daily inquiries that buyer confidence remains high.

Low interest rates play their part but an improving residential market is a significant factor as is the desire of existing farmers to expand.

Go back 30 years and most stock and dairy farmers were content with a holding of 150 acres. Now, those same farmers aspire to at least 250-300 acres or more. For the smaller holding, the residential accommodation plays a significant part in determining value and lotting of surplus land can often satisfy local demand. While our list of would-be buyers grows by the day, I am pleased to say that we do have several new farms and blocks of land to put to the market shortly. The imbalance between supply and demand will never be equalled, but for the wise vendor looking to take advantage of current values, the time has never been better.

There are 408 acres for sale in this farm, pictured above and top left – all good quality soil. It is for sale as a whole or in up to five lots.

Agents: Knight Frank, Exeter, 01392 423111 www.knightfrank.co.uk

Properties such as Lavethan, a delightful Cornish manor house and estate, look set to sell well in 2014 (see panel on left)

Will it be prime time in 2014?

When we look back at the property market for the first six months of 2014 we will, I am convinced, view it as the beginning of year the market changed for the better.

Certainly every indication as of now here at Knight Frank is that we have seen significant increases in activity across the board, from applicants registering and viewing through to an increase in the number of sales. Indeed, Knight Frank has just had a record-breaking year – our best year since the last peak of the market in 2007.

The reason for this improved market? A number of factors have all come together over the past six to nine months. We all recall the long, cold winter of 2013. This had the positive effect of delaying the launch of property to the market and so saw increased stock coming to the market in a more consolidated period towards the middle and end of 2013.

This gave buyers more property to look at, coupled with the fact that house hunters were more positive thanks to improved economic news and a positive press, The result was an increase in sales and activity.

So what are my predictions for the prime property market in 2014? Certainly I think it is a year for both buyers and sellers to get on with things and definitely a year to sell.

Without wishing the year away, 2015 will be a General Election year and the market notoriously goes quiet before that event. So my best advice is to take full advantage of the better market that 2014 looks set to be.

There is still ongoing discussion among the main political parties regarding a possible “mansion tax” on properties over £2 million. As we move closer to the General Election, this could impact on the prime market if it becomes actual manifesto pledges.

William Morrison of Knight Frank, assesses the prospects for the top end of the market We are likely to see an increase of property coming to the market but there will be a significant increase in activity from buyers, as well as sellers. There is certainly willingness from buyers to move on. Many owners have waited for the market to improve before bringing their prop-

‘We are likely to see an increase of property on market’ erty to the market. This will result in an increase in homes for sale and could have a downward effect on prices as more property becomes available, although an increase in buyer demand should balance things out.

We are all hearing lots of reports about house price increases across the country. But it is essential that

London and the South East are removed from these figures to get a much clearer vision of where the market is here in the South West.

I think Westcountry house prices will continue to rise at similar levels to inflation, so it would be wrong to say we are definitely going to see a dramatic property boom here.

What the market has lacked in the past few years is transaction numbers of actual house sales. But as we appear to be moving into a more fluid market, increased choice for buyers and sellers alike will ensure that the market reaches an even keel.

The very best Westcountry properties will always attract significant interest on a national and international basis. Those properties in the prime market north of £1 million are no exception and we have some lovely houses coming to the market.

It is always our advice to plan well in advance for any sale and get photographs taken as soon as possible, so you can be on the market before the late spring and summer rush. I thought back in January that the market would take off early and, despite a hiccup with flooding in February, this has indeed been the case.

SATURDAY APRIL 26 2014

Charming corner of South Devon House hunters moving down to Devon tend to home in on highprofile areas such as the South Hams, Dartmoor or the rugged North Devon coast. Ask them what they think of Teignbridge and the answer is often: “Where’s that?”

Buyers from the South East or The Midlands often have a tunnel vision of what our beautiful county has to offer. I once went to a dinner party in Islington, North London, and the guests were waxing lyrical about the South Hams: “the place to buy your second home”. The beautiful South Hams is certainly very well-known nationally. But Teignbridge’s lower profile just makes it that little bit more desirable, in my opinion.

The capital of Teignbridge is the market town of Newton Abbot. While not as pretty as, say, Totnes or Ashburton, Newton Abbot has a thriving commercial centre and is very well connected. It is at the end of a dual carriageway which is, effectively, an extension of the M5. Its station, too, is the busiest railway hub in Devon.

Newton Abbot has a range of shops and facilities and there is no shortage of things to do. It also has some pleasant residential areas including Wolborough Hill, with its Victorian villas, and Highweek, which I think of as “the Highgate Village of Newton”. With a population of around 30,000, it still retains its country town atmosphere.

Surrounding Newton Abbot are some beautiful villages and hamlets with lovely period properties and barn conversions, as well as some attractive newer builds. The great thing about all of them is that they are all just 25 minutes from the city of Exeter, the wonderful beaches of the South Devon coast and Newton Abbot itself.

Take Ideford, for example. It is about three miles from Newton Abbot, only four miles from the sea and ten miles from Exeter. A typical

Richard Copus of Woods Distinctive Homes seeks out the hidden gems in Teignbridge Teignbridge village with its thatched pub and thriving community, a fiveminute drive takes you onto the A380 and to Exeter in about 20 minutes.

Broadhempston, halfway between Newton and Totnes, is the most westerly village in Teignbridge before the South Hams takes over.

With two pubs, a village school, little

‘East Ogwell blends rural living with easy access to facilities’ shop and parish church, Broadhempston is a living example of how people value important community facilities.

Another picture-postcard village is East Ogwell, less than two miles from Newton Abbot and surrounded by open countryside. It is one of the little-known gems of Teignbridge and has a thatched pub/restaurant and medieval parish church. Divided from the edge of town by the village green which has panoramic views of Dartmoor, East Ogwell blends rural

living with easy access to facilities.

Here at Woods Distinctive Homes we are selling 5 Rose Cottages in East Ogwell, a delightful thatched house.

Offered for sale at £305,000 for the freehold, it features a beautiful living room with beamed ceiling and open fireplace, and four bedrooms (one ensuite) upstairs. The cream on the cake is the very large kitchen which opens out onto an impressive conservatory creating a practical and lifestyle living area at the rear of the house. Leading from the conservatory is a very pretty and well proportioned level cottage garden with shed at the far end.

Some people call the wedge within the Newton Abbot, Shaldon and Maidencombe “The Golden Triangle”. This area has some remarkable little settlements which are only a stone’s throw from the coast and Torquay. At the head of one of the hidden valleys is Haccombe House, a Grade II-listed mansion built in the late Georgian period, well away from traffic yet less than two miles from Newton Abbot.

Woods has for sale a charming, three-bedroom apartment in the main part of this building with a large living room featuring original sash windows and kitchen at the far end. This room is overlooked by an imposing galleried landing. 7 Haccombe House is being offered for sale at £174,950 leasehold.

Could Hayle, with its harbour development now underway, be the next Cornwall property hotspot?

New hotspots set to emerge

Spring can be a time of looking forward to a brighter future in the property market. Buyers and sellers generally have more optimism at this time of year and, with the positive news of the gradual upturn in the economy, there is definitely a tangible sense of motivation and returning confidence.

With the renewed buoyancy, some property hotspots inevitably emerge – locations that attract far more than their fair share of interest. Where are they in Cornwall? It will not come as too great a shock to discover that the coast remains very popular here.

St Ives, Padstow, Fowey, Porthleven and Falmouth are areas that are all showing a real and significant increase in activity and inquiries.

Where are the buyers coming from? When it comes to Falmouth, the answer is everywhere – including nationally and internationally. As a popular holiday resort, its attractions are many and varied. The growth in size and reputation of Falmouth University is also drawing a vibrant student population. The fact the town has also just been voted fourth best place to live in Britain by the Sunday Times is certainly doing a lot to add to its appeal, too.

Described by the newspaper as “a cultural hub tucked away in a corner of Cornwall” which has metamorphosed into “a lively place full of young creatives, small businesses, bookshops, cinemas and galleries with world-class yachts in the harbour”, Falmouth has managed to retain the magic of its quirky, fishing town feel.

This is reflected in the number of people who want to live there.

For the smaller coastal hotspot towns, interest is predominantly strongest from out-of-county buyers.

That means local people are often priced out of the market, making it imperative to build more affordable

Jeremy Miller of Miller & Son on a revitalised Cornish property market homes for local families. That will in turn ensure local infrastructure like schools, shops, churches, medical centres and pubs also remain viable.

What are buyers looking for? In the coastal resorts it is holiday homes and second homes. Modern, turn-key properties that are totally finished and fit for purpose are sought-after as investment flats and houses.

The wishlist that such buyers have is very specific. At the top comes parking, then a sea view and a location within walking distance of both town centre amenities and a beach.

Landlords are another very active part of the property market in the South West right now. With house prices rising again, we know many are keen to increase their portfolios.

They are buyers who choose with their heads, not their hearts, so the return they will get on their investment is of the utmost importance. In other words they want to buy at a low price but get a high rent.

In Cornwall the areas most likely to achieve a landlord’s financial goals are Camborne, Redruth, Hayle, St Austell and Launceston. For tenants, our lettings department has reported that demand for two- and three-bedroom houses is particularly strong and that two-bedroom flats are also renting well.

What else do buyers and tenants want? They want to live close to work,

which is one of the many reasons that Truro, as the county capital, remains one of Cornwall’s most desirable places to live. The county’s only city has a good supply of properties and high employment opportunities.

So if Truro and Falmouth are the current residential favourites, where will everyone’s attention turn next?

My money is on the coastal town of Hayle. With its harbour development now well under way and around £30 million of investment promised, this formerly industrial port town is about to change radically. Already, large commercial companies are considering bigger shops in the town and that is creating new jobs – an indication of growth in all areas.

What else should we be looking out for? In my experience land is proving to be a great investment, with increasing demand from horse owners, hobby farmers and buyers keen to grow their own fruit and vegetables or harvest wood.

Small parcels of land, between one and ten acres, are selling particularly well, with prices for agricultural land consistently achieving between £10,000 and £20,000 an acre.

Overall, things are definitely improving in all areas of Cornwall’s market but, to maintain that progress, it is essential to ensure we do not get greedy with asking prices.

SATURDAY APRIL 26 2014

Why Kingsbridge wears the crown Kingsbridge is a bustling former market town at the head of the Salcombe estuary. It lies in the very heart of the desirable South Hams area of South Devon. The town has an excellent range of shopping, recreational and schooling facilities serving the resident population which is boosted significantly during the summer months by the influx of visitors to the area.

I have been based at the Kingsbridge office of Luscombe Maye for more than 20 years. Our buyers here are both local and from out of the county. Whether they are looking for a permanent or second home, they have all been drawn by the excellent recreational amenities and opportunities within the area.

Sailing and boating on the Salcombe Estuary, Avon Estuary and surrounding coastline and sea is all superb. Good news for those with boating aspirations is that Salcombe Harbour Authority has just added 132 new pontoon moorings at the head of the estuary at Kingsbridge.

If golf is your thing, then Thurlestone and Bigbury both have challenging golf courses flanking the mouth of the River Avon.

Kingsbridge is popular for those seeking a permanent home, particularly those with a young family, thanks to the fact that Kingsbridge Community College was classed as “outstanding” in its most recent Ofsted report. There are also very good primary schools in villages such as East Allington, Stokenham, West Charleton and Aveton Gifford.

The appeal of the South Hams is due in no small part to its outstanding scenery. The rugged coastline has lots of sandy beaches and inland you will find unspoilt rolling countryside.

As we move into the spring there are some interesting properties coming onto the market and the Kingsbridge office of Luscombe Maye is delighted to offer for sale 4 Coastguard Cottages at East Prawle, pictured below left. This former coastguard cottage has outstanding views of the sea and easy access to walks along the rugged coastline towards Prawle Point. It has just come onto the market at a price of £440,000.

We are also selling 2 Florence Cottages at Torcross, a charming threebedroom stone-built period cottage with outstanding sea views, at a guide price of £369,950.

Another nice property we have for sale is Wakeham Farm Cottage, near Aveton Gifford. This Grade II listed barn conversion with some high vaulted ceilings and exposed roof trusses, three bedrooms and a spacious unconverted detached barn offering great storage or recreational opportunities. Wakeham Farm Cottage is available at a guide price of £495,000 with between 5 and 20 acres of adjoining farmland available for sale by separate negotiation.

For those seeking a larger property, Lower North Pool House near South Pool is an exceptional detached house standing in a delightful rural hamlet

Anthony Stumbles of Luscombe Maye extolls the joys of life in this popular area with views over the surrounding countryside. The property offers four-bedroom family accommodation with a large garden and ample parking, and an outdoor swimming pool and terrace. Lower North Pool House has a guide price of £1,350,000.

Our six offices of Luscombe Maye are seeing increased activity in terms of the number of viewings, offers and sales as we move into the spring market. But buyers are cautious and pricing needs to be at realistic levels.

The increase in the level of inquiries

is encouraging and although there is talk of the “ripple effect” caused by the buoyant London market, there is little evidence that this has reached the South Hams.

I remain optimistic about the property market over the next quarter and vendors can be confident that given the right advice, price and marketing that there are buyers seeking to secure a home in this beautiful part of the Westcountry.

Post Box Cottage, Week £329,000 The magic of South Devon – the stunning view looking across from Bantham to Burgh Island

The joy of life in South Devon

The financial dark clouds are lifting.

Can we recall a time when inflation was so low, levels of employment high and levels of unemployment falling? And yet the current extraordinarily low interest rate is still in place.

After years of modest performance since 2008, 2013 saw the British property market roar back to life.

The Halifax reports price rises across the country of 7.7% with greater London exceeding 10%.

So what does 2014 have in store for the Westcountry property market?

Our economics lessons tell us that with a limited supply of stock in a market and strengthening demand, prices should push up. Here at Stags we saw a 15% growth in the number of transactions last year and we are already looking at further growth in 2014, with a 10% rise in the number of sales. Our 19 offices across the region sell one in seven of all homes over £300,000 so this is a statistically strong sample.

We have also seen a significant increase in website activity, which is up more than 50% on last year.

What will this mean for South Devon? With mortgages historically cheap and interest rates set to remain stable, if you have been putting off upping sticks, it could be wise to make 2014 the year to move.

With more competition for property, we are starting to see a swing

Peter Symons of Stags looks at the market in this special part of the world ‘It could be wise to make 2014 the year to move’ towards a more balanced market with sellers starting to get their way and the buyers no longer always calling the tune.

This is not all bad news for house hunters, though. The resurgence is starting to bring some quality properties onto the market. One such is the remarkable Ludbrook Mill outside Ermington in the South Hams.

A lovingly restored former miller’s house, it now incorporates the superb mill, complete with water wheel and mill workings.

The property is set in glorious formal gardens and 11 acres of pasture paddocks, ideal for grazing a few iconic South Devon cattle. It is so quietly located that you will see more horse than combustion engine traffic here, yet it is just three miles to the main A38 dual carriageway.

Another property fresh on to the market is Bowhay Farm at Aish, Stoke Gabriel, Totnes. Again, it is peacefully positioned and yet Totnes, Torbay and the Dart Estuary are on the doorstep. This spacious traditional house has been finished to the highest standard. It has a glorious indoor pool, two acres of gardens and a well-tended croquet lawn – heaven in South Devon.

Properties for great holiday homes selected by Melanie Cassidy of Helpful Holidays

Williton, Somerset, £429,500

With space and character, Hartnells is a great cottage for family holidays and get-togethers. It is sited between Exmoor and the Quantocks, ideal for walkers and only a few miles from the coast, with a steam railway calling at the village. I would expect it to earn £18,600 to £20,600, based on 30-35 weeks lettings a year.

Agents: Stags, Taunton, 01823 256625, www.stags.co.uk

Haytor, Devon, £235,000

This property, 4 Haytor Court, is in a great spot for families and couples to enjoy Dartmoor. It has views to Haytor Rock from the garden and moorland walks from the door. Smart and fuss-free, I would expect it to earn £12,000 to £13,400, based on 30-35 weeks let a year.

Agents: Bradleys, Newton Abbot, 01626 834900, www.bradleysestate-agents.co.uk

Trewetha, Cornwall, £489,950

This smartly converted barn is secluded, yet a footpath leads to Port Isaac and sandy beaches at Polzeath and Rock are only about six miles away. Called The Barn Owl, it comes with a separate annexe, a handy hideaway for grandparents. Assuming it lets for 30 to 35 weeks per year, I anticipate it earning £17,300 to £19,200.

Now that the days are growing longer, temperatures are warmer and the Westcountry landscape is greening, I have seen an increased number of buyers looking for a second home or holiday home here in the region.

But I don’t think the weather alone is the reason for such a marked increase in enquiries that we have seen in our 33 Bradleys offices here in the South West.

There are a number of key factors that may set 2014 apart from the last ten years, heralding the return in larger numbers of holiday home buyers.

The property market is on the move, with transaction volumes returning to those of a more normal market place. We cannot deny the two-speed economy in the UK, with London and the South East operating within a heightened economic bubble. There are many buyers with spare cash to spend on an investment or for a bolt hole in their busy working lives.

What is more, the recent Budget changes to pension rules mean that many who have a pension pot are no longer shackled by having to invest in an annuity. For many, a holiday home is a better investment.

There has also been a build-up of demand from people who, for the first time, feel ready to buy a holiday home – something they

Chris Baxter of Bradleys thinks holiday homes could be a growing trend Many buyers have spare cash to spend on an investment or for a bolt hole would have liked to do but lacked the confidence in during the recession.

For all these buyers, the South West offers a wide variety of homes.

They can choose from coastal holiday apartments, holiday lodges

within holiday parks or the secondhand market generally. Location is the key factor and many developers are planning for this resurgence.

One example of a development that will cater for those seeking an investment, for retirement or as a holiday home, can be seen at The Cove at Fishcombe Brixham in South Devon. Here, 34 two-bedroom properties are being redeveloped with two and a half acres of secure gardens opening to the cliff top.

Most will enjoy views across the bay, down to Fishcombe Cove and over the surrounding National Trust land.

With potential 10% or more yields, early indications from interest in this development are good with forward reservations ahead of the launch later this month. Prices, too, are affordable, ranging from £149,950 to £210,000.

SATURDAY APRIL 26 2014

Ask the experts Your holiday let questions answered Q. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m unsure how allowing people to smoke in my holiday home would affect my bookings. What does your experience show? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; CE, Combe Martin A. Bev Plunkett, property manager for Helpful Holidays, says:

A computergenerated image of The Cove at Fishcombe in South Devon where 34 two-bedroom properties are being redeveloped with two and a half acres of secure gardens opening to the cliff top. Most will enjoy views across the bay (left), down to Fishcombe Cove and over the surrounding National Trust land

Twenty years ago our advice to holiday home owners was to allow smoking in their properties, particularly those accommodating large numbers. Back then, potential holidaymakers would assume that a non-smoking restriction implied a plethora of other irritating rules and bans.

However, the attitude to smoking has clearly changed.

Although the Governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2007 national smoking ban does not require self-catering accommodation to be smoke-free, the majority of holiday home owners understandably choose not to permit smoking indoors.

Here at Helpful Holidays we market more than 600 properties and just under 10% of these currently allow smoking.

However, only two specify no smoking within the grounds as well as the house.

I have had a look at the statistics and, over the past three years, the properties we represent which allow smoking have received 9% more bookings than those which do not. On the other hand, the non-smoking properties have enjoyed an average income 6% higher per booking over the same period.

However, it would be wrong to assume these figures are simply due to the appeal of the smoking or non-smoking feature to potential customers. For example, owners of properties permitting smoking are also likely to be relaxed about allowing several dogs or hen or stag parties, meaning their property generates more bookings by appealing to a

wider range of customers. Owners of top-quality properties, which demand the highest prices, are the least likely to permit smoking, hence their higher income.

If you do decide to allow smoking in your holiday home, it is sensible to impose a few reasonable house rules, such as asking your guests not to smoke in bedrooms and to dispose of cigarette ends responsibly. As always, rigorously maintain smoke alarms to minimise any fire risk, and allow plenty of time on changeover days to eliminate stale smells.

Q. The radiators and hot water in our rural cottage are heated by a back boiler on the woodburner, and it also has an immersion tank. Is this suitable for rental purposes? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; JP, Exmouth A. Gaby Wakley, property manager for Helpful Holidays, says: A woodburner is a useful feature in a holiday cottage in the winter when the weather takes a turn for the worse. Guests love the romance of a real fire, so it will help extend your booking season.

Also, a log burning stove is an environmentally-friendly method of heating a property, particularly if you provide local, sustainably grown firewood. So your visitors can be reassured they are helping to maintain the beauty of the local environment.

There are a few things to check, however. Make sure the back boiler has been correctly installed to avoid overheating and you need to be certain that the immersion reliably provides sufficient hot water for a couple of baths or showers for each day. You also need an additional form of heating as well as the woodburner. Get these right and it should be fine to let your cottage with this system.
