Is the property market blooming this summer?

The property market is very complex right now and is influenced by many external factors, some of which are changing as the months progress.

The Mortgage Market Review, Help to Buy, the endless speculation about a non-existent price bubble, and the Bank of England’s new power to control the size of mortgages have all had an effect.

The year started very positively for the market, with everything in full swing. As the year progressed, the supply of new instructions increased, and the pent-up demand from buyers waned a little – those who were holding off until the market improved have now been satisfied.

In simple terms, this means we are on our way into a normal and stable market. A further ramification is that every property must be correctly priced to obtain any interest from the very internet-savvy buyers, who can tell to within a few thousand pounds if a property’s owner is being ambitious with their price or not.

So should you buy now? What about the risk of a price bubble? Will mortgage rates go up?

My advice is buy now, and here’s why.

With “Help to Buy” still available, a mortgage can be obtained at a very modest cost, and interest rates are at rock bottom.

While this situation will inevitably change towards the end of this year or early next year, the governor of the Bank of England, Mark Carney, has committed to slow and small increases only, lest larger increases damage the improving economy.

The Mortgage Market Review (MMR) has come into force recently, causing lenders to look harder into whether borrowers can afford the mortgage. This means they have to look in more detail at their circumstances, rather than just whether they fit the criteria.

This extra process has created a massive backlog in mortgage applications for people dealing with a lender directly. I have heard recent statistics stating that borrowers may have to wait five weeks to gain an initial appointment, and 17 before a mortgage offer is made.

There are ways around it though. My

Welcome to our Summer Review

by Becky Sheaves property editor Hello and welcome to our bumper Summer Homes Review. If you are house-hunting in the Westcountry this summer, then you’ve most definitely come to the right place.

This review is absolutely packed with the very latest properties to go onto the market across Cornwall, Devon and the west of Somerset and Dorset. Think of it as a one-stop shop for finding the home of your dreams.

How about a handsome Victorian house on Dartmoor, Grade II listed and with nearly 10 acres of land (page 18). Or a two-bedroomed stone cottage – ideal for holiday lets – near the sea at Salcombe for £150,000 (page 52)?

Or there’s a whole stately home on offer near Tiverton, where £1.5 million will buy you nine bedrooms and 38 acres, not to mention a folly in the grounds (page 71). On a slightly more lowkey scale, check out the farm in Roche, Cornwall for £500,000, with stables and seven acres of land (page 74).

If you’re not actively house hunting, our Summer Homes Review is also pretty good for taking the pulse of the property market in your area.

Wondering what’s happening to property prices in Mid Devon? Just turn to page 71 for the insights from Michael Clark of Jackson-Stops and Staff, who knows the area and its housing market like the back of his hand.

There are also wise words on all sorts of aspects of the property market in the South West. Prunella Martin has the lowdown on waterside property on page 52, while Richard Copus on page 26 explains when – and if – an auction is the best way to sell your home.

All in all, this Summer Homes Review really is a great way to find out exactly what is happening in the region’s property market this summer.

Happy house hunting!

Think of it as a one-stop shop for finding the home of your dreams

advice is to use an independent mortgage broker who is not hampered in the same way as the lenders themselves. Bradleys offers such a service, and can normally get the offer out in 3-4 weeks.

There is absolutely no need to be concerned about a price bubble. Journalists, experts and politicians speculate about the housing market “overheating”, but it may be unsubstantiated. There is certainly a problem in London, where the market is being fuelled to an unsustainable level, mostly by foreign buyers looking to invest in the capital.

However, even London is starting to slow down from the first few months of the year.

Outside of London, there was a small surge of activity early in the year but this is now performing as a normal market.

Bradleys have 33 offices covering a patch between Taunton to Penzance, so I am well

placed to report on real figures that cover the whole region.

The first half of 2014 has seen both sales and exchange prices rise by 6,000, or 3% compared to the first half of 2013.

Across the region in the first half of this year, the average price of an agreed property sale was £210,000. A 3% rise is hardly the stuff bubbles are made of, and I only hope that both Mr Carney and Mr Osborne recognise the only problem is contained wholly within the M25.

As I see it, mortgages are still available and so long as you have a 5% deposit and some cash for your fees, then the rates are good and you still have time to lock into a fixed rate before any increases.

The market is stable and a 3% increase in value is way better than any investment in the bank. So don’t wait, it won’t get any better than it is today.

10 property of the week

Space and chic style in beautiful location Owner Carol Maynard has done up her house, Tanglewood in Exmouth, to top specification. She loves German design and a contemporary look: this has informed her choices throughout the five-bedroom property.

Bright, airy and spacious, this is a house that would be perfect for families or entertaining, but also homely for two.

“I bought this house four years ago because my husband and I were looking for something in its own grounds,” she said. “I had seen this house when the previous owner had just started doing it up, by putting on an extension that made a cottage much bigger. I bought it and ended up finishing the renovations.”

This was a perfect project for Carol, 61, who worked for years as an office manager for a construction company.

Now she could really launch herself into a challenge, supported by her brother, who had project management experience. They first concentrated on the infrastructure, making sure that things like the flooring, heating and carpentry were sorted.

Then came the fun bit – shopping in lovely local spots such as Bradburys in Exeter and Sidmouth Garden Centre.

“I know what I like,” she said. “The vision started at Bradburys with the kitchen and went from there.”

The kitchen is indeed a marvel of contemporary chic. It has a comprehensive range of eggshell white cupboards with soft close mechanisms, complemented by Corian work surfaces. A matching island unit

Gillian Molesworth discovers a contemporary home in the beautiful coastal resort of Exmouth, close to Woodbury Common gives extra storage and workspace, and is a super place to sit for breakfast, or to enjoy a glass of wine and chat to the cook.

There are also many high-quality integrated appliances to delight any cook: a double oven, hob, steamer and microwave, coffee machine, hot and cold filtered ‘Zip’ tap, wine cooler and electric warming drawer.

Carol says it’s hard to say which is her favourite room in the house – it

About the area Exmouth: Exmouth is a coastal resort with superb sandy beach, situated at the mouth of the River Exe estuary. With 2,800 acres of pebblebed heath at nearby Woodbury Common, this is a great place for walking. Watersports such as kite surfing and sailing are all teh rage here, and the seafront esplanade connects to the South West Coastal Path.

Roads: Exmouth is about 11 miles from the city of Exeter, connecting to the A30 and A38 trunk roads, and also the M5 motorway.

Train links: Trains from Exmouth or Lympstone will connect to Exeter in about half an hour, ideal for commuting or catching the mainline service to London.

Other transport: Exeter International Airport is within easy reach.

Schools: There are a variety of primary schools in Exmouth.

Exmouth Community College is Ofsted-rated ‘Good’.

Eat out: Carol recommends the Jack in the Green in Rockbeare, which was voted in the top 20 of the UK’s best 50 gastro-pubs. For something very different, try the River Exe cafe, on a barge and accessible only by boat.

Out and about: Take the family to the Sidmouth Donkey Sanctuary, catch the ferry to The Turf pub for a summer barbecue, explore nearby charming communities of Sidmouth, Budleigh Salterton and Topsham.

With top specification throughout, Tanglewood is a five-bedroomed house that would be perfect for families or entertaining, but is also homely for two could be her kitchen, or it could be the spacious sitting room, which has bi-fold doors opening out onto a westfacing terrace. Where could be better for an evening cocktail?

This room is impressively large.

“We put three three-seater sofas in that room and they just looked lost,” said Carol. “We ended up having a bespoke sofa which looks perfect there. It is sectional, so you can take it apart, but it was made for the room.” (She’s happy to negotiate selling the sofa too, by the way.)

This is a fantastic room for parties and barbecues – Carol has many happy memories of gatherings there for friends and family.

“I love opening the doors right out on a fine day,” she said. “It is great for entertaining, but also two people don’t feel like they’re rattling around. It’s a flexible house that way.”

She has also enjoyed improving the outside together with Taunton-based landscapers Silkmorus. The grounds of just under an acre now boast mature shrubs and trees, and a delightful lighting scheme for evenings.

To the rear of the house is an enclosed vegetable garden with a new shed, perfect for growing your own.

“We did some lovely Easter egg hunts for the grandchildren in the

gardens,” recalled Carol.

You can look after your visitors well at Tanglewood. There is a guest suite on the ground floor, and a further en-suite bedroom upstairs, along with two more double bedrooms.

The master bedroom is naturally en-suite, and also has a dressing room. Nearly all have television and phone points, and recessed down-

lighters to continue the contemporary theme.

The bathrooms boast underfloor heating, perfect for bare feet in the winter, and elegant travertine tiles.

Carol has loved living here, but wants to move closer to friends and family, and downsize a bit.

What she will miss most of all is the location.

“Every morning we have a walk along the seafront,” she said. “It is a beautiful place to live, and we will miss it. But it’s time to downsize, and spend more time on holiday.”

The market’s hot for summer We are continuing to see month on month increases in activity levels across the whole property market in Cornwall. This is particularly marked in the top sector, with interest in properties over £500,000 improving significantly. It looks like the Cornish housing market is set to enjoy a scorcher of a summer this year.

While stock levels remain fairly low across the board, buyers are scrambling over themselves to secure attractively-priced properties across the county. Demand for hot spots such as Fowey, Padstow, St Ives, Falmouth and the Roseland Peninsula remains high on the location wish list.

While the resorts around Cornwall’s dramatic coastline have always been popular, those with more modest budgets can find some real gems if they are willing to consider heading slightly inland.

For example, a detached three bedroom house in the beautiful village of Tregony, the gateway to the Roseland Peninsula, will set you back around £275,000 – whereas a similar property, just a few miles further into the Roseland, will be more like £375,000.

Add a sea view into the mix and you can expect to pay in the region of £450,000 for a mid-terraced sea facing property in the increasingly popular village of Portscatho.

It’s also fair to say that demand for homes across Cornwall capable of providing a potential income, or so called ‘lifestyle properties’, have been growing in popularity over the last decade. Throughout that time there has been a constant stream of television programmes promoting the prospect of living the dream. Buzz words such as ‘self-sufficiency’ and ‘sustainability’ are becoming the vocabulary of buyers moving from city to country.

Marc Cottrell of Kivells knows what’s moving in Cornwall I’m constantly impressed by buyers seeking their dream lifestyle. There seems no end to the vision people can turn into reality, or establishing their niche product or service.

Gone are the days that a converted barn with a little parcel of land for a few chickens will suffice. Today’s

‘More and more properties over £500K are selling’ buyers are looking to establish all kinds of wonderful businesses, and have become more and more discerning in their search.

So what do buyers want in the perfect Cornish property with land?

Well, they are just as likely to be looking for land that is south facing and free draining for establishing vineyards or orchards than asking if

there’s a chicken coop or a few sheds on offer.

Additionally, the equestrian property market in Cornwall is seeing strong demand from first time buyers and starter-level equestrian enthusiasts, with a shortage of suitable properties being the main obstacle.

Equestrian house hunters in Cornwall are typically hard to satisfy. This can be part due to the complexities of the type of property they need, but also because these tend to be longterm family purchases. Access to good out-riding and bridleways is always a strong consideration for equestrian buyers. Properties with quality sand schools and lunging arenas in addition to well configured stabling with vehicular access can usually expect to carry a premium.

A perfect example of a fine equestrian property is Argum Villa in Hersham near Bude, which I recently listed with a guide price of £800,000.

This superb four bedroom residence has extensive views towards Dartmoor. It has eight acres of paddocks together with a fantastic 40m x 20m sand school with chopped rubber surface. There is stabling completed in 2012 and wide access for vehicles, perfect for horse boxes.

SATURDAY JUNE 28 2014

Christopher Clifford of Knight Frank explores how a property on Dartmoor can set you back 20% more

Moor homes can cost more Having grown up on Exmoor, I have always been fond of dramatic landscapes. The more wild and rugged the better, which is why I have always got excited about selling properties on Dartmoor.

Over the years at Knight Frank we have sold a huge variety of properties on the moor, from picture postcard cottages and medieval farmhouses, to farms, commercial woodland and the occasional modern masterpiece.

People often forget that a large part of the Teign Valley, which winds its way up from the outskirts of Exeter to the historic moorland town of Moretonhampstead is within the Dartmoor National Park. To my mind this area can offer the best of both worlds with its access to the moor, good communication links to Exeter and stunning scenery.

National Parks such as Dartmoor have always been desirable areas to live, thanks to their beautiful countryside, and the fact that any housing development is strictly controlled, with very little in the way of new

‘My advice is to sell now while the market is buoyant construction. This also helps to keep prices high, of course. According to the Nationwide House Price Index, around 190,000 households in the UK are located within the boundaries of National Parks and research suggests that this factor alone attracts a significant price premium. On average a property located within a National Park attracts an 18% price premium over that of an otherwise identical property.

Moreover the Nationwide believe that the premium is not limited entirely to properties located within the boundaries of a National Park and that there is evidence of a ‘fringe benefit’ for properties located just outside of National Parks such as in the Teign Valley, which lies between Dartmoor and Exeter. Properties within three miles of a National Park can command an 8% premium over that of those outside this range.

Here at Knight Frank we have launched a variety of different properties in this area to the market so far this year. We have seen strong interest from both regional and national buyers, but with the majority of buyers coming from the South East of England. People choose to move to the area for many different reasons, in particular we have seen a lot of activity from buyers who are looking to retire to the area. Longhayes at Lowerdown, a fabulous contemporary home on the edge of Dartmoor, came to the market in March and after a series of viewings we agreed a sale at the guide price of £875,000, having had several offers from both regional and national buyers.

More recently, we launched Bridford Barton, a beautifully restored historic hall house in the popular Teign Valley village of Bridford. We have swiftly agreed a sale under competitive bidding. The new owners were out-of-area buyers who fell in love with the property and are moving with the intention of retiring to the area.

Another exciting new instruction which we are about to launch to the market is Souther Wreyland , a

charming, Grade II Listed thatched cottage, which dates from the 17th century. It is in the hamlet of Wreyland, an ancient settlement of just six meticulously-kept dwellings, near the attractive village of Lustleigh, one of Dartmoor’s most sought-after villages. Lustleigh itself has many beautiful and historic buildings and a good selection of local amenities, including a Post Office, shop, pub and tea rooms. It is popular with the second home market, retirees and commuters, due to its proximity to the moor and communication links.

With the recent spell of good weather, there is no better time for people to visit this area and see it at its best. We see the market continuing to remain steady through the rest of the year whilst interest rates remain low and there is still a limited amount of good quality stock available. If 2013 is anything to go by, I found July through to the autumn to be our busiest time of year and my advice to those considering a sale is to take advantage of the buoyant market conditions that we are experiencing at present.

SATURDAY JUNE 28 2014

Richard Mansell of Rendells looks at the appeal of properties requiring restoration

Looking for a do-er upper?

Why is it that the market for homes requiring updating, restoration, improvement, renovation (refreshment is the latest term, I believe) is strong, even in a challenging economic climate?

For most buyers who seek out such a property it’s the opportunity to create a home which reflects their own tastes and lifestyle that’s the main attraction. And, of course there is always the speculative element – the chance to turn a profit for your hard work.

As an estate agent in rural practice I am often asked to offer advice on a wide variety of buildings which require updating, or renovation, conversion or in some cases demolition.

It could be a tired bungalow in a village needing a new kitchen and bathroom, a former commercial building, barn or farmhouse or a even a chocolate box cottage. When visiting such a property to advise our clients, there are a number of important factors I consider to ascertain the potential market value.

The extent of the restoration is the first exercise, as well as estimating the likely costs. This may require specialist advice relating to the structure of the building, advice from building conservation professionals, thatchers, cob specialists, etc. To be forearmed with knowledge from the outset can avoid any nasty surprises later in the sale process. The cost of improvements need to be considered alongside the potential value of the restored building and, in doing so, a guide price can be ascertained.

Once the guide price is established the most effective method of disposal is considered. Most properties are sold by private treaty and everyone that has ever bought or sold a house will be familiar with this process, i.e. an offer is made against the property price, terms are agreed, solicitors are instructed and so on. This process can be the best method for a “do-er upper” but there are other options to consider, particularly where high levels of interest is anticipated.

A public auction is one such process and is the most transparent sale method, with all interested parties standing in a room together bidding against each other. This process can be very effective, as both the buyer and seller have a set timescale, there is no negotiation on the price or contract and the sale is binding on the fall of the gavel. As we are also a firm of auctioneers I have many years of experience in recognising buildings which would benefit from a sale under the hammer.

Another option is informal tender, which is a process of sale where interested parties are invited to submit offers in writing, in sealed envelopes,

Richard Mansell predicts the market for homes to restore will continue to be strong to be opened on a pre set date, usually after five or six weeks of marketing.

The agreed bid is subject to contract and the legal process follows.

Formal tender is another method which is under-used these days generally but can be an effective sale method. The process is a method of tenders in sealed envelopes opened on a pre-set date, like an informal tender. The difference is that, on acceptance of a bid, the sale is binding and contracts are exchanged. A legal pack of searches, contracts and associated documents is provided from

There is always the chance to turn a profit on property the outset and surveys, mortgage valuations etc are all carried out before the tender date. Formal tender is a more secure process than a private treaty or informal tender sale and not quite as nerve-wracking as an auction.

Here at Rendells we always have a selection of houses to update or restore on our books. This week we have taken instructions to offer for sale a lovely cottage in Dartington near Totnes. Number 3 Shinners Bridge Cottages was built in the 1840s

as part of Dartington Hall Estate. It is on the end of a terrace of similar cottages built in a Tudor style from limestone. It has two bedrooms and would benefit from updating to bring out some of the period features. This Grade ll listed building has potential to create a really charming home.

Offers in excess of £250,000 are invited.

Another property for restoration is Bowacre at Hittisleigh in mid Devon, just off the north end of Dartmoor.

This is a secluded smallholding with a late 18th century house, a range of buildings for stabling, work and storage as well as an artist studio and a small annexe all set in very pretty grounds of about four acres. A light restoration is required to enhance an already idyllic country home. Offers over £480,000 are sought.

A recent sale of a property in need of restoration through Rendells was Bottor Cottage at Hennock on the eastern edge of the National Park.

This property is set in ten acres of woodland at the centre of which was an attractive small Georgian house in need of complete restoration, along with a range of barns and outbuildings. We sold the contents of the property and buildings, which included a selection of classic cars at our auction rooms in Ashburton and at our market in Chagford. After more than 100 viewings the house was sold for a figure well in excess of the guide price of £350,000.

The market for homes to restore will continue to be strong, and with the right sale method and marketing the resulting sales look set to be encouraging.

Are auctions the way forward?

WMN-E01-S6

What next for house prices?

The latest reports from Halifax and Nationwide put house price inflation at 8.7% and 9.5% respectively, whilst the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) has said buyers chasing a short supply of good quality homes for sale is driving up prices.

The RICS forecasts the average UK house price will rise by 6% a year for the next five years, pushing up prices by 35% by 2020. There is certainly a fear in London that there may be another price bubble and it is only a question of how long it may be until it bursts.

Here in the South West, we haven’t seen the steep increases in property prices but there is a good demand for good quality properties. In fact, the Office of National Statistics (ONS) have suggested that in the 12 months to February this year, saw a 5.8% increase in the Southwest, compared to 17.7% in London and an overall average for the UK of 9.1%.

At Luscombe Maye we would certainly echo these thoughts that there is generally a shortage of properties coming to the market and any good quality properties are being keenly sought after. Properties that were on the market a year ago and not selling are now receiving more interest, offers and subsequently going under offer.

Across the six branches at Luscombe Maye we have seen sales for the first five months of this year 56% higher compared with the same period last year. Stock levels interestingly are down by 9% but viewings are up for a fewer number of properties and more sales are being agreed, testament to a more active market.

Until the supply of properties increases to meet the demand it is anticipated that this trend will continue for the foreseeable future, albeit some would suggest that the market may slow next year around election time, this being what experience has shown us in the past.

With a heightened profile of selling properties in the middle to upper eschelons of the market and as a result of gaining increase market share, the Luscombe Maye database of proceedable buyers continues to grow. Interestingly the inward migration of buyers to the South West from outside the area, which was so prevalent in the height of the market in 2007 and subsequently disappeared is now gradually returning with buyers from London, the Home Counties and South East particularly.

This was very noticeable at the

by Chris Davey of Luscombe Maye group’s Collective Property auction in April where a couple from Kent purchased a very desirable period property in the heart of Yealmpton, as a retirement home.

Also there is a significant amount of regional and local movement with buyers either up or down sizing; 76% of the buyers who are buying through Luscombe Maye’s six offices fall into the local and regional bracket with the balance coming from outside of the area.

Two schemes that have helped house price increases are the Funding for Lending scheme which offers cheap funds to lenders with the proviso that it is lent onto mortgage borrowers and small businesses and the Help to Buy scheme.

The former is restricted to small business lending but the latter has been extended to giving borrowers access to mortgages, if they can meet the repayments but only have a small deposit to put down.

It certainly appears there is no great shortage of funding. With interest rates so low and the potential of future rate rise being mentioned by Mark Carney, Governor of the Bank of England on a not-infrequent basis, I would suggest that to buy now and to get locked into a good interest rate may be both wiser and more attractive than leaving it to a later date.

Whatever the future holds there are sure to be some surprises. Nobody can accurately predict how the property market will perform. What is certain however is that properties will continue to be bought and sold for any number of reasons. Buyers, at some point, may have been or will be sellers and sellers will become buyers. And both sides may well appreciate the help that can be offered by an established and trusted estate agent.

They can be the best way to buy and sell a property, says Richard Copus of Woods Distinctive Homes These days, people use their television sets in increasing numbers to buy all sorts of goods at auction through QVC, Bid-up TV, and so on.

Online, there is Ebay, with auctions for everything from cars to collectables.

So it is hardly surprising that people are becoming gradually more comfortable with the concept of using an auction to sell houses. So, what are the advantages of selling your home by auction and – crucially – what are the pitfalls?

The first thing to emphasise is that auctions of real property (that’s houses to you and me) are governed by different laws from normal property sales legislation.

Most people are used to putting their property on the market for sale, waiting a few months to find a buyer, the buyer then reducing their offer or withdrawing and eventually, once a suitable purchaser has been found, waiting an age for the solicitors to do the exchange of contracts.

None of this can happen in a sale by

What are the auction advantages – and the pitfalls? auction, and perhaps it is small wonder that more and more people sell this way.

Public auctions are the norm in England and Wales (Scotland is different, as with many things). Once the auctioneer has received instructions to go ahead and sell a client’s property, there is an intensive marketing campaign, usually between five to seven weeks, with all stops being pulled out by the auctioneer.

A lot of interest can be usually generated with special viewings days set to accommodate interested parties. Courts take a sale at auction to be legal proof of market value, so all auctioneers advertise as widely as possible to attract as many potential bidders as they can.

At the end of the marketing period, the auction takes place. Hopefully this will be in a crammed room with lots of would-be buyers champing at the bit! The auctioneer then uses his particular skill in encouraging bids

from the floor. Once the reserve, which is known only to the vendor and the auctioneer, has been reached, the auctioneer can sell, and once there are no higher bids, he or she brings down the gavel with a thump and the property is sold.

And that means sold, not under offer or sold subject to contract.

There is no going back for the buyer.

He or she pays the 10% deposit there and then and must complete, usually four weeks later. In the very unlikely event that the buyer should renege on the deal, the seller keeps the deposit.

The reserve is a fallback to protect the vendors from underselling their home. That reserve is usually set slightly below anticipated market value as a definite sale at auction is better than a long and drawn out one even if it is at a slightly higher price.

All very simple, isn’t it?!

It truly is that simple and that is why an auction is by far the most successful way to sell houses whenever the owner wants a quick sale for whatever reason.

As auctioneers, my colleagues Richard Worrell, Nick Wood and I would love to see everybody sell this way, but we have to admit that some houses are not suitable to be sold like this. Ordinary homes which are

mortgageable are often sold to people involved in property chains.These people are unable to exchange contracts in the auction room if they only have a sale agreed on their property.

Classic examples of auctionable properties are the two building plots that we here at Woods Distinctive Homes currently have on their books.

Known as Exception Sites, because this land would not normally be granted planning permission, these plots are within the grounds of splendid Rock House in Maidencombe on the edge of Torquay.

Plot One is a superb site comprising the walled, former kitchen garden of the country house. Measuring around 150 feet by 45 feet and with sea views, the price guide is £170,000 freehold.

Plot Two is a larger plot, but without sea views, again in a unique location. The price guide for this one is £140,000 freehold. Both plots have planning for a detached dwelling.

They are within the curtilage of a listed building and the planning permission will be triggered on the vendor signing a section 106 agreement prior to the auction.

Intrigued? Why not come along to an auction and see what happens!

Exmoor 27

SATURDAY JUNE 28 2014

Exmoor – so much to enjoy Exmoor’s countryside has beautiful heather-clad moorlands, a breathtaking coastline of plunging cliffs and sheltered bays. There is a scattering of small towns and villages with a host of fine public houses, restaurants and shops. The whole area offers abundant opportunities for walking, fishing and a whole host of outdoor activities.

The dark delights of Exmoor’s night sky, free of light pollution, means that the Exmoor National Park is only the second place in the world to have been designated an International Dark Sky Reserve.

Along with convenient rail and motorway links, these are just a few assets putting Exmoor firmly on the property map.

But it is not just the stunning scenery that attracts buyers to Exmoor. The most sought-after properties are actually those in villages or towns here. People seem to want a community around them, rather than total seclusion, and the price of fuel and commuting is really important for some buyers.

Properties in or around the Exmoor town of Dulverton continue to be in demand. It is a delightful little town nestling in the Barle Valley within the Exmoor National Park, and is known as The Gateway to Exmoor. Dulverton provides excellent shopping facilities and is packed with good things, both of the essential and non-essential variety! There are many fabulous bars, restaurants and cafes and a lively community with a healthy mix of ages and interests.

Exmoor is the ideal place to escape from a busier pace of life and people relocate here for a change in lifestyle, escaping the cities and trading in their expensive city dwellings for larger country homes. Most buyers

by Mike Buckland of Seddons Estate Agents in Dulverton this summer are still coming from out of the area, the majority being from London, the home counties and the south coast. Property prices have increased down here over the past two years but not as dramatically as people, or the media, think. And for those who have benefited from the

The most sought-after properties are actually in villages recent heady price increases in the South East of theUK, the South West now offers particularly good value for money.

The Exmoor property market is without doubt strong this summer, but there is a shortage of properties coming on the market. In particular, bungalows for the older buyers are

very much in demand and there is a notable shortage at the moment.

Properties with a little bit of land or large gardens are also sought after.

Here at Seddons we have recently been instructed to sell Cowlings, a character village house with a stunning stream-bordered garden nestled in the beautiful Haddeo Valley. Its competitive guide price of £579,950 is creating an early influx of interest.

Sensible pricing is all-important to ensure that early offers are received at the guide price, or very close to it.

Properties that are priced sensibly according to the market conditions are selling well.

Another example is Dowry Cottage, a three-bedroomed period cottage in the sought after village of Winsford, with glorious gardens, garage and views over the valley. We are selling it at the guide price set at a tempting £395,000.

So, with the summer holidays just around the corner, now could be the ideal time to come and discover the delights of Exmoor. If you are inspired to experience the delights of the Exmoor countryside, I believe there is no better area to live.

Demand is high and growing News last week that the government will give the Bank of England extra powers to deflate a housing bubble, allied to hints of a rise in interest rates, will only make people more cautious. House prices may be showing the first signs of slowing down with average asking prices rising just 0.1% last month, a property website has reported.

Rightmove recently suggested asking prices may have come ‘off the boil’, owing to rising buyer caution and an increase in properties coming on to the market. More regions saw prices fall than rise month-on-month and London, which has been considered the engine of price growth, recorded a 0.5% monthly decrease in asking prices.

Stricter mortgage lending rules, which came into force in April, have already dampened demand. The rules mean that lenders have to question mortgage applicants in detail, to ensure their mortgage is affordable.

The result of these factors including the chaotic implementation of the Mortgage Market Review (MMR) is that some of the momentum has been taken out of the market. While the jump in property supply is welcome, average stock levels per estate agency branch are still well below those of last year, with shortages pushing up prices in popular locations.

The next wave of buyers may have less motivation or ability to buy.

Sellers are going to have to be sensitive to their local market and not pitch their asking prices too high as choosy buyers will not arrange to come and visit.

Here in Exeter, where I work, the city is experiencing a surge in growth, outperforming most locations across the UK for job creation.

There are significant planned economic and retail developments as

Frank Kelsall of Stags, Exeter, has his finger on the pulse of the market well as increased availability of employment land, so the Exeter economy is in a strong market position to grow further. The demand for housing is extremely high within the city with emphasis on buyers searching up to a value of £500,000 and a larger number with budgets up to £250,000.

All areas of the city remain extremely popular Demand currently outweighs supply within these regions of price and noticeably, when a property receives multiple offers, the offers, on occasion, exceed the asking price.

More house hunters are placing themselves in a position of being a ‘cash buyer’ by selling up and living in a rental property while they wait for their ideal home to come to

market. Buyers and sellers are still highly motivated by the change in their lifestyle or employment; upsizing, downsizing, job relocation or the desire to be within the city or a move out of it. For city homeowners, looking to capitalise on this demand, now is the time to consider selling.

Exeter offers an extremely wide and diverse selection of homes ranging dramatically in price from the mid terrace Victorian of around £200,000 to in excess of £1,000,000 for a centrally located town house. All areas of the city remain extremely popular with the established residential areas still in high demand, whether by price brackets, schooling or walking distance to quality amenities. Over 60% of properties are owner-occupied with a further 20% privately rented properties. This provides a healthy market for buy-tolet investors.

Exeter continues to thrive as a productive city both in business and culture, expanding to keep up with demand. In brief, the city market continues on a strong path and further, more quality properties across all sectors are required to match the current high demand.

SATURDAY JUNE 28 2014

WMN-E01-S6

More activity in city market Isabel Clifton of Strutt & Parker shares her insights into Exeter During the past three months there has been an overall increase in activity in the Exeter property market. Across the board activity is up, there has been a rise in homes coming on the market, offers being made, sales agreed and new buyers registering with agents in Exeter.

This trend has continued into June and at present there are no signs of things slowing down.

Clearly the Government’s Help to Buy scheme has had an impact on buyers’ ability to secure a mortgage and this, coupled with ongoing low interest rates, has encouraged buyers to get moving in the city.

The renewed confidence in the marketplace has also left sellers feeling more positive. There has been an increase in stock coming to the market compared to the earlier this

year where there was a definite shortage of houses on the market at all price levels with supply not meeting demand. Sellers are also being more realistic. Over-ambitious guide prices were causing houses to stick on the market in 2013 but the idea appears to be filtering through that a competitive guide price is more likely to result in a successful sale.

Exeter properties in the middle sector of the market are selling very well, particularly between £350,000 and £550,000 as at this level there is still a limited amount of stock available. The stamp duty threshold which jumps from 3% to 4% at £500,000 has meant that sellers still believe they should keep away from the half a million price range when coming to the market.

Interestingly, a very recent sale we here at Strutt & Parker have agreed in St Leonard’s was a property in this price range which had so much interest it was necessary to arrange for best and final offers to be submitted within days of launch. The bidders were not in the least bit put off by the extra £5,000 payable on the 1% increase in stamp duty payable.

Another St Leonard’s property we are marketing has had three offers in as many days. Competition for these types of semi-detached houses is fierce in Exeter as young professionals and young families who are upsizing or coming out of rented accommodation jostle to secure a longer-term home.

There is a great deal of city property available around the £200,000 mark and this is selling quickly if well-presented and competitively priced. However, at this level there is a battle between first time buyers wanting to secure a home and landlords looking for an investment property with a healthy yield.

Despite the recent news that the average UK house now costs 10 times the average UK salary, houses are in greater demand than flats, according to the latest Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors research. The supply of rental property has con-

tinued to grow but the pace is slowing. Rents in the UK have increased consistently since 2009 as unaffordable mortgage finance and large deposits required by lenders cause barriers to home ownership.

Surprisingly, the research also found that the average tenant now stays in a property for 19 months.

It is difficult to predict the effect of

I’m positive the market will continue to remain buoyant the Bank of England’s recent indications that interest rates will rise marginally in the next few months and that the Bank’s governor, Mark Carney, “will not hesitate” to use interest rates in order to cool the housing market. It could cause a surge of buyers wanting to lock in to

fixed mortgage rates before any rise occurs. From early signs, his announcement doesn’t appear to be having a negative effect on the Exeter market.

In relation to borrowing, mortgage companies unfortunately are ahead of the game and will not wait for the Bank of England to announce the increase before putting up lending rates.

They are already taking a great deal longer to process applications with the new more stringent assessment criteria and this may slow down the conveyancing process again causing frustrating delays for house hunters.

It’s still too early to tell if these new mortgage hurdles will make a great difference to house purchases but the sub £300,000 market sector is likely to feel the effect most.

For the time-being, based on current levels of activity, I am positive that the market will continue to remain buoyant over the coming months.

By any standards, Exeter is a highly desirable place in which to live, which bodes well for its property market.

Lively Plymouth is place to be These days it is common for potential buyers to become frustrated by the lack of properties available to purchase. This often leads to people considering alternative locations as a second choice.

To buyers w ho are looking over large areas of the region my obvious reaction, as an estate agent with enormous knowledge and enthusiasm for my own area, is to suggest areas close to or within Plymouth.

“But Plymouth doesn’t really attract me,” says the otherwise promising but polite buyer. “When did you last visit Plymouth?” is my immediate reaction. “About 15 years ago,” is the common response.

Here is my opening! “You should see it now – some of the best restaurants in the Westcountry, a vibrant waterfront, and an excellent shopping centre. The University has been developing, right in the centre, with some extraordinary pieces of architecture, most prominently the Roland Levinsky Building, by Danish architect Henning Larsen.

“And of course the Theatre Royal is by far the best place for theatre west of Bristol, with many shows going from here to London’s West End. Of course there is also the Brittany Ferry which provides a regular service from Millbay to Roscoff in Brittany and Santander in Northern Spain.”

The fact is that Plymouth has changed beyond recognition over the last few years, but far too many people still discount it. It is a city that has exceptional facilities and attractions for everyone. As an environment to live in, or close to, Plymouth has more to offer than any other in

Roger Punch of Stags looks at the market in the ‘other Bristol’ the South West. It has the most incredible scenery – Plymouth Sound, the South Hams, Dartmoor, the rolling hills of the Tamar Valley and South East Cornwall, and the Rame Peninsula. The latter was recently described in London’s influential Time Out magazine as “Cornwall’s

The city has changed a lot, even in the past few years ‘forgotten corner’ is one of the country’s most beautiful areas”.

If you have not visited Royal William Yard you are missing out. Most recently the restoration of the old Victorian reservoir off North Hill, at

a cost of £1.3 million, directly opposite my office, is magnificent. Its park, named Drake’s Place, is a wonderful green space right in the city centre, with a fascinating history including the origins of Peek Frean, the inventors of the Garibaldi biscuit.

Our housing stock here is both varied and reasonably priced. Weston House, on the edge of Plympton St Maurice, a substantial property in more than an acre of gardens has just been sold by Stags with a price guide of £795,000.

Germain House, Landrake, a traditional house with a large garden also sold earlier this year with a price guide of £342,000, underlining the availability of attractive houses at reasonable prices in this area. 14 Western College Road, Mannamead, a five bedroom town house also sold through Stags with a price guide of £335,000.

An enlightened buyer also commented earlier this year: “This is another Bristol, but in more attractive surroundings.” If you have not visited Plymouth recently, please do!

You could buy a view like this

This holiday cottage has two bedrooms and an office plus dedicated parking space. It is near the sought-after coastal town of Salcombe with good beaches within easy reach.

Agents: Marchand Petit, Salcombe, 01548 844473, www.marchandpetit.co.uk

Lower Washbourne Barton, Tuckenhay, £1.5 million

The South Hams has some of the loveliest waterside homes in the country, says Prunella Martin of Marchand Petit A beautiful 17th century property, this delightful family home is set in 1.8 acres of gardens between Totnes and Dartmouth.

Agents: Marchand Petit, Totnes, 01803 847979, www.marchandpetit.co.uk

River Cottage, Harbertonford £515,000

This secluded three-bedroomed house in a pretty village has a stonewalled south-facing garden.

Agents: Luscombe Maye, Totnes, www.luscombemaye.com

The South Hams has probably one of the most beautiful and diverse coastlines in the Britain Isles and certainly it is an area where people can buy a view. Such an opportunity is not restricted by the amount of money you have in your pocket, either. From pretty thatched cottages with glimpses of the sea to small estates overlooking an estuary – there is something to suit all.

Of course one of the main reasons people want to buy in the South Hams is a water view and who wouldn't?

Here at Marchand Petit, 52% of all the properties we have sold so far this year over £750,000 have had sea or estuary views.

We have just agreed a sale in Dartmouth for a property priced at £1.7m which has outstanding views looking on to the River Dart and out to sea.

The ever-changing vista the Dartmouth estuary is a popular one, particularly with the convenience of the diverse and charming town of Dartmouth.

In Salcombe, both the Estura and Bonfire Hill developments have been extremely popular, selling as readyto-go holiday homes with those allimportant sea views.

Two of our recent sales in the waterside village of Newton Ferrers not only had estuary views, but also direct water access. The houses, priced at £1.2m and £1.1m respectively, came with quays and boat

Waterside can mean sea, lake, riverside or even pond houses – living the dream!

In my experience, house hunters here have a variety of requirements.

Some want views within a town or village, so they head for waterside communities such as Dartmouth, Salcombe, Newton Ferrers and Noss Mayo.

Some clients want more distant sea

views mixed with some countryside.

But water views are not only sea and estuary: others might want ponds or rivers. We are currently selling a property which has an outstanding heart shaped lake.

The market for coastal properties remains strong and demand is high this summer. But does a water, estuary or sea view actually add value?

The answer is a resounding yes. It all comes down to the complete lifestyle, the proximity of beautiful coastal walks, the ability to stroll along an estuary to pick up your morning paper or enjoy a coffee, being close to your ideal surfing beach or just wanting the isolation of a property on the clifftops.

We are finding the market to be very positive in the South Hams this summer, with a high percentage of our purchasers wanting waterside views. We might not be seeing the same quantity of people viewing this year, but we are seeing better quality buyers.

For more details, call Marchand Petit’s Prime Waterfront and Country House Department on 01548 857588 or visit www.marchandpetit.co.uk

SATURDAY JUNE 28 2014

Waterside homes for sale Bantham, South Devon £11 million

Surely the ultimate waterside property – a whole beach, plus the entire village of Bantham too.

Agents: Strutt & Parker, Exeter, 01392 215631, www.struttandparker.com

Kittery Quay, Kingswear £3 million

One of the best houses on the River Dart is up for sale – right on the water in Kingswear. Informal tenders need to be in by 12 noon on July 18.

Agents: Woods Distinctive Homes, 01803 866336, www.woodshomes.com

Lew Hollow, Beer £750,000

With fabulous views over Seaton Beach, this Arts and Crafts house in East Devon has seven bedrooms and wonderful gardens.

Agents: Strutt & Parker, Exeter, 01392 215631, www.struttandparker.com

Why it’s hotter on the water The summer has well and truly arrived and waterside properties are certainly back in demand here in the South West.

One of the most significant waterside estates to be offered to the market this year is The Bantham Estate in South Devon, which we here at Strutt & Parker have been marketing recently for a £11 million. We have already received substantial interest from a number of potential purchasers interested in buying a whole village and a beautiful surfing beach.

I accept that the general market for waterfront property is unlike the interest we have received for The Bantham Estate! But nonetheless it does show that even at the top end of the market, demand is strong.

Buyers from London and the Home Counties have never had a better market in which to purchase waterside homes on the north and south coastlines of the Westcountry, in popular beauty spots and off-the-beatentrack ones. Properties located near the sea and, in particular, near sandy beaches are becoming ever more popular.

We recently agreed the sale of Lyme Bay House in Beer, East Devon, which is an award-winning architect-designed house. It was offered for sale about six weeks ago with an asking price of £2.35 million. Our clients say they have been delighted with the number of viewings and we have agreed a sale after strong competition from a number of would-be purchasers. In the same area, we have Lew Hollow on the market with a slightly reduced price to £750,000 which has stunning views over the sea and surrounding countryside. It is fair to say that the house needs a little updating, but it offers buyers a unique opportunity to renovate a property in an outstanding location.

James Baker of Strutt & Parker lines up some seaside properties Moving further west we are marketing two properties in the sought after waterside village of Shaldon, near Teignmouth. Ringmore House has good views over Shaldon and out over the estuary and is for sale with a guide of £995,000. Again we have good

Even at the top end of the market, demand is strong interest from buyers in the property already. The property has six bedrooms and a self-contained cottage which has been let out to provide a very good income over the past few years. Further up the same road we are also selling a property known as Smugglers Top which has views over the coastline and is providing popular people looking for a second or even

third home. From my office in Exeter I am constantly driving down the A30 into Cornwall where again we are seeing the market pick up for good quality coastal properties. We already have offers and interest in a beautiful coastal farm on the Roseland Peninsula on the market for £4.75 million and I anticipate the farm selling for more than this guide price fairly shortly.

However, if you are not looking for a farm then we have a fantastic instruction at the beach village of Gunwalloe, just outside of Helston. Here is a six bedroom house that is being sold with an adjoining three-bedroom cottage and a number of one bedroom holiday lets. This property is located on its own area of coastline with a garden overlooking a secluded surfing spot. It is for sale with a guide price of £1.95 million.

There are certainly a lot of beautiful coastal properties in the Westcountry.

The market in the South East is surging ahead, and buyers have already seen their properties increase in value substantially. There has never been a better time to sell in London and buy a waterfront home in the Westcountry.

SATURDAY JUNE 28 2014

WMN-E01-S6

Farmland demand is strong With some fine weather finally now upon us, many South West farmers are busy making hay and silage, and it will not be long before we see the combines out for the start of the 2014 harvest.

The first half of 2014 has been busy for the Stags Farm Agency team. We have found that the farm and land markets throughout the Westcountry are buoyant, with demand being driven by a combination of local farmers expanding their existing farm businesses, farmers relocating from other areas of the UK and overseas, and residential buyers seeking a change of lifestyle with the purchase of small farms. The introduction of the new Basic Payment Scheme from January 1 2015 appears to have had little impact on sales and with current entitlements rolling into the new scheme, many concerns have been eased.

Indeed, 2014 has been the busiest spring for a number of years. A diverse range of quality farms came to the market in April and May which have generated a good level of interest with a number of sales being agreed. In contrast, fewer blocks of agricultural land have been made available, which has resulted in some very strong offers.

In the north and mid Devon, west Somerset and Exmoor, my colleague Andrew Dodds has also brought a variety of farms to market, ranging

George Alder of Stags Farm Agency looks at the summer market for farms this year from smaller farm holdings such as Higher Moor Farm in Morebath (60 acres) to the 184 acre Treborough Farm on Exmoor, which while on the moor includes some very productive land and a spacious family home.

Residential farms to recently come to market include Townsend Farm in Skilgate (102 acres) which lies in the heart of the village and is accessible for both Taunton and Tiverton and Greendown Farm near South Molton, which offers the opportunity for multiple family occupation within its three dwellings, some large and versatile farm buildings, all surrounded by its own ring-fence of 49 acres .

Large blocks of agricultural land continue to be the most sought after by farmers looking to expand. We have seen a rise in demand in favour of residential farms; buyers relocating from the South East and seeking a change of lifestyle are more active

now than for many years.

Three of the farms we launched to the market in spring 2014 went to best offers, having attracted considerable

2014 has been the busiest spring for many years interest, and sales have been agreed on the trio at above their guide prices.

These include a 110 acre farm on the

edge of Paignton, a 75 acre farm near Cullompton and a 118 acre farm near Honiton.

The farm market is strongest where buyers can see commercial opportunities and can obtain a good return on investment and/or the farm offers privacy and protection but still has good links to the M5 and A30.

So what does the second half of 2014 have in store? I anticipate land values will continue to climb in certain areas, particularly those with a sustained shortage of availability of both land lots and complete farms.

However, I would issue a word of caution: Values have been, and remain, very location-specific – there is no ‘one size fits all’ across the land market. The average price of an acre varies widely across the Westcountry, and even from parish to parish.

On the auction front, Stags has held

a good number across the Westcountry during the first six months of the year. A highlight was June’s auction of Manor Farm in the Quantock Hills, where 80 acres and a barn with planning consent for conversion to a holiday cottage were offered for sale in seven lots. The barn with consent for a one bedroom holiday let, set in five acres, went under the hammer for £140,000, with the remaining land lots averaging £12,000 an acre, the top price being £17,333 per acre.

A whole farm for sale by auction is a rarity these days but Woodhay Farm, Whitestone, Exeter is an exception and will be offered for sale by auction on the 27th June. Woodhay is a privately-situated commercial farm with exceptional views towards Dartmoor, and comprises 148 acres, a modern farmhouse and a range of modern farm buildings. It is being offered for sale with a guide price of £1 million.

Stags is preparing to launch a number of farms and land lots over the summer including a 101 acre dual occupation property near Bridestowe, a 60 acre bungalow with an agricultural occupancy tie near Tiverton and 140 acres of land near Brayford. The latter will go under the hammer on July 31. There’s no rest for the wicked as they say!

SATURDAY JUNE 28 2014

A very special place to live In East Devon you will find England’s first natural World Heritage Site, know as the Jurassic Coast, flanking the south of the area. There are two Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty covering the majority of the countryside inland. All in all, the natural attributes of this stunning part of the country are clear to see.

But when buying a house, it isn’t just the natural beauty you need to consider. Fortunately, East Devon has superb lifestyle facilities. There are lots of great schools, such as Colyton Grammar which is regularly in the top of The Sunday Times results table nationally. Many other local state primary and secondary schools in the area performing to a high standard.

This part of the world has good road networks providing links to the rest of the country. With swift railway links to London and Bristol, you are never too far away from where you need to be.

The local communities here are strong, with a range of beautiful villages often with a pub, village hall and school. The attractive market towns of Honiton and Axminster are rightly popular while on the coast the Regency town of Sidmouth is a particular draw.

So what is selling well here at the moment? And who is buying? There has been a significant increase in the number of sales here at the Stags office in Honiton this year – up by 68% compared with the same period last year. However, it is the top end of the market which has seen the biggest increase in activity.

This increase in numbers of sales

East Devon really does have it all, says Kevin Clarke of Stags, Honiton hasn’t yet seen a corresponding increase in house prices, unlike the London market of late. Although modest price increases have been achieved, setting a sensible marketing price and getting the presentation

The area has some superb lifestyle facilities and schools right are still the key to finding the right buyer.

Two properties coming on the market shortly at the top end of the East Devon market are Moorlands Farm and Woodhayne Farm. Both are five-bedroomed farmhouses, tra-

ditional farm buildings and land surrounding the farmstead giving seclusion and privacy. Moorlands Farm is being marketed at £1 million with 48 acres and Woodhayne Farm has a guide price of £925,000 with 18 acres.

We have already seen interest from both local, national and international buyers – one as far away as Dubai.

In the middle market range we have just launched Brook House near Stockland. This beautiful detached family home with four double bedrooms, three reception rooms and a detached barn in an acre of private and established gardens, at a guide price of £600,000.

A couple of examples of smaller properties we have launched recently are 1 Sellerswood, a three-bedroomed semi-detached cottage just outside the coastal village of Branscombe at £325,000. Nearby, two-bedroomed barn conversion in the chocolate box inland village of Gittisham is also receiving good interest with a guide of £160,000.

St Mary’s Cottage, Stockleigh Crediton, £300,000

More for less in Mid Devon To some extent, Mid Devon is still one of the more underestimated areas of the Westcountry to live, by those who are not familiar with it. Missed by the majority of the tourists to the area, it remains relatively unspoiled and peaceful, with its classic Devon landscape of rolling hills with patchwork of fields and partly wooded valleys, bisected by rushing streams and rivers. This is genuine living and working Devon, whose principal economy still revolves around agriculture. Here you can find genuine peace, privacy and tranquillity, yet still within very easy reach of the outside world.

Probably the single most significant factor in the rise of the country property market in this area in the last 20 years has been the advancement of technology. This means that that those who, in a previous era, would have had to have been within easy daily reach of a city centre and probably London, now, can work from almost anywhere.

In my experience, far and away the chief reason for people moving to Mid Devon from other parts of the country is simply quality of life. With the ability to work for much of the week from home, house hunters are now free to follow their dream and get out of the rat race. Much of Mid Devon presents the perfect setting to do this, while at the same time having easy access from most areas to the M5 at junctions 27 or 28 and also Tiverton Parkway station with its quick trains to Paddington.

Further attractions to the area, for following the improved quality of life dream, are the nearby National Parks of Exmoor and Dartmoor. There is also the wonderful selection of walks around the network of public footpaths throughout the area. Other

This Grade II listed cottage near Cheriton Fitzpaine has three bedrooms and has recently been re-thatched.

Hilliers, Winkleigh £550,000

by Michael Clark of Jackson Stops & Staff, Exeter factors include the proximity of the North Devon coastline, with its sandy surf beaches and coastal walks. The excellent trout, sea trout and salmon fishing to be had on the local rivers, notably the Exe, Taw and Torridge, also plays its part. For those wanting to be in reach of private education

These are genuine living and working country communities here, the Tiverton area is popular, home to Blundells School.

In summary, the Mid Devon area presents the opportunity of living in a beautiful, unspoilt part of the Westcountry away from the “madding crowd”, yet at the same time with easy access to communications as well as some of the West Country’s

most stunning landscapes and coastlines.

During the course of 2014 we here at Jackson-Stops & Staff have experienced a notable improvement in general market confidence. The average buyer of a country property in Mid Devon is probably planning to stay for the next 10 or 20 years. But at the same time, they wish to feel confident that, if circumstances changed and they were forced to sell in the next year or two, they would at least be able to get their money back. During the years of the recession this has not been the case, but in recent months it is. This is a huge step forward, affecting their confidence to buy.

Nevertheless, the reports of the booming market in London are still way off the mark in this area. The average buyer is still both discerning and price conscious. I have not as yet noticed significant price rises. Despite this, there is some confidence going forward, not least because roughly 25% of our buyers do come from London and the Home Counties and the ripple affect of the market there is bound to be felt sooner or later.

The average age of the first-time buyer is now well into the mid 30s.

Renting, no longer a last-ditch option, has become a clear lifetime choice for many, with its advantages of greater flexibility and lower costs.

As a result, it is anticipated that the number of private rented households is expected to rise by more than one million over the next five years.

The fastest growing group of private tenants is in the 35-44 age bracket, of which a quarter have families and are now often referred to as â&#x20AC;&#x153;generation rentâ&#x20AC;?.

There seems little doubt that the demand for private rented accommodation can only increase.

Purchasing a property to rent out as a medium to long term investment has become increasingly popular.

However, when you buy a property to let out, you should be careful to ensure that your investment provides a good return, but is also as trouble-free as possible.

Choosing a property First and foremost, know your market. Find out what the local tenants want: what size, type, and location of house they are after. Is your property close to local amenities, main lines of communication, sources of employment? Do not let

and safety requirements, deposit protection, etc.

You will need to be fully aware of all these and more before you even contemplate letting your property.

Because it is so complicated and important, many landlords prefer to place the letting and management of the property in the hands of a reputable, licensed and bonded agent.

Andrew Luxton from Stags talks about the key to buy to let success personal taste cloud your judgement: find out what they want.

Also, make sure the property can be presented to a high standard, whether you buy it in mind condition or do it up yourself. Everything must work and look good. Evidence shows that tenantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; expectations are increasing all the time.

Do the maths Before you purchase anything, you must do your ground work. Add up purchase, refurbishment and finance costs, to ensure that the rent will cover borrowings and costs after allowing for void periods.

As a landlord, you will continue to be responsible for maintenance costs, servicing of fixtures and fittings, and insurance, so donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t buy a property that will require a lot of ongoing

maintenance or refurbishment prior to letting.

Remember that while capital appreciation is desirable, it is not guaranteed. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be too ambitious - go for a realistic yield and return. Gross yields will usually be in the region of 5% per annum (bear in mind this figure excludes capital appreciation).

Landlord responsibilities Once you have purchased the property to let, you then become a landlord and need to be aware of the legal requirements that cannot be avoided or ignored.

There is extensive legislation that governs the private rented sector to include safety of gas and electrical equipment, repairing and maintenance obligations, furniture and fire

Financing your buy to let Some investors are fortunate enough to buy a property without borrowing to finance their purchase. However, this may not actually give them the best return on investment.

It may have been better to split that capital between 2-3 properties, financing the remainder with a buy to let mortgage.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to know the facts and the risks before embarking on this sort of venture - an independent financial advisor can advise on the different requirements necessary.

You need to choose a mortgage that suits not only your current but also your future needs.

Income from rental properties is taxable, but you will be able to offset some of your costs such as agency fees, insurance premiums, interest on mortgage payments, repairs and renewals etc.

You should seek advice not only on

income but also capital taxes, as these may have a significant impact if you choose to sell or transfer ownership of your properties.

Choosing an agent Taking the right advice is vital to ensure that your buy to let investment ends up being as trouble-free as possible. Choose an agent who has knowledge of the area and can provide you with letting and management services that you require.

The management fee, while important, should not be the only factor in deciding which agent to choose.

You want an agent who has the right structure, staffing, experience and local knowledge.

They must be able to fully fulfil the obligations stated in their terms of business.

For peace of mind, you should only choose an agent that is a member of an relevant professional body such as Association of Residential Letting Agents, or the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors.

Here at Stags we recently held a Buy to Let seminar in Exeter, and will carry out more throughout the region. We have also produced a buy to let guide, available in any Stags letting office.

selected by Bev Plunkett of Helpful Holidays Prospect House, South Hallsands, Devon, £349,950

Start Bay Lookout is a ground-floor apartment with breathtaking views out to sea, to Start Point and the lighthouse. It is one of nine apartments with outdoor swimming pool. It is light and modern inside, and the private front and rear terraces are the jewel in the crown. I estimate it could achieve £13,000 to £15,000 over a 30 week season.

The wise way to Helen Hayes of Helpful Holidays on how to choose property to make holidaymakers happy Helpful Holidays has more than 32 years of experience in managing holiday let properties in the South West. We feel that, over the years, we’ve developed a good insight into the type of properties and interiors that make holidaymakers happy.

Here’s our advice on buying a property to be a successful holiday let.

Our top 10 tips for a great holiday home

1

The fundamental principle is that you need to believe people will enjoy holidays at your property, that they will think it good value and that many will want to book it.

2

Grade II listed Mount Cottage has been extensively refurbished, with care taken to retain the original character. Although it has been a private home, the character and four reception rooms with two inglenooks would make for a perfect family holiday let. I’d expect it to earn around £17,000 to £19,000 over a 25 to 30 week season.

Agents: Greenslade Taylor-Hunt, Ilminster, 01460 317005, www.gth.net

Roche, Cornwall, £500,000

Hillside Farm has the best of everything: peaceful setting, wonderful views, four-bed detached farmhouse, stables, 7 acres and two established holiday cottages, with the Eden Project nearby. I anticipate if the farmhouse is let for 30 weeks, that alone would earn around £13,000 to £15,000.

Agents: Country & Waterside Prestige, Truro, 01872 470405, www.countryandwaterside.co.uk ■ The estimated income figures above are net of agency fees and VAT, but not running costs.

For more advice on buying holiday let property, call 01647 434071 or visit www.helpfulholidays.co.uk

If a property is in one of the less popular holiday areas, it will need to be particularly appealing or have other special attractions – a beautiful view, a brilliant garden, a swimming pool, a games room, some fishing, perhaps, or be splendidly isolated or on a farm with fields or woodland to explore. Or simply have the ‘wow’ factor.

3

The coast appeals to visitors all year round, so if a property is within walking distance of a good beach it will be consistently popular.

4

It’s nice to park up the car and be able to explore on foot or by bicycle. A property will benefit from having a pub, shop and/ or restaurant within easy reach.

5

Aim for as high a ratio of bath or shower rooms to bedrooms as possible. People prefer not having to share bathrooms, especially with bookings for groups of friends or extended family.

6

Open fires and woodburners are popular, appealing to romantics and extending the letting season by promising cosiness in winter months.

7

Many visitors to the Westcountry like to bring their dogs, so providing an enclosed garden, practical flooring and making it clear that dogs are welcome will increase booking potential.

8

A well-equipped kitchen and good-sized dining area to comfortably seat the maximum number the property accommodates is important.

9

Living rooms should be spacious enough for the number of guests the property sleeps, with plenty of comfortable seating for everyone.

10

Presentation is crucial.

The garden should be immaculate – it provides the first impression.

Inside, décor and furnishings should be of the highest possible quality and rigorously maintained.

Properties with good quality interiors, which look like they’re loved and cared for, achieve the best bookings.

Ask the experts Your holiday let questions answered Q. I intend having a housekeeper to look after my tiny holiday cottage. Do I need to provide storage for bed linen or can I expect the housekeeper to look after it? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; JS, East Devon A. Gaby Wakley, property manager for Helpful Holidays, says: The answer to your question depends on whom you employ.

Some housekeepers will be happy to store linen at home, whilst others simply wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the space or want the responsibility. Many owners of small cottages provide a lockable chest or trunk in which to store linen, or choose a bed with drawers underneath for storage, so these might be viable options if your space is limited. If you do have a cupboard on which you can mount a lock, you then have somewhere practical to stash consumables such as teabags and spare loo rolls, as well as the linen.

It also means that guests arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tempted to help themselves to an endless supply of clean towels and linen. Alternatively, it may be worth exploring the possibility of using a laundry to process linen and towels, relieving your housekeeper entirely from the responsibility of laundering and storing linen.

Q. Is there any reason why we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sell eggs from our chickens to the guests in our holiday cottage? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; MG, West Cornwall A. Melanie Cassidy, property manager for Helpful Holidays, says: If you keep fewer than 50 laying hens, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no requirement for you to register with the Egg Marketing Inspectorate (EMI) as a producer or the Great Britain Poultry Register and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re free to sell your eggs without having to mark/stamp them. You must, however, display your name,

address, the best before date and advice on chilling eggs after purchase. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best not to classify eggs by size, or to say theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re free range, from garden chickens or organic etc, unless youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re absolutely certain you comply with relevant industry standards.

As youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be supplying direct to the consumer rather than on a large-scale commercial basis, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re exempt from regulations relating to the control and prevention of salmonella, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wise if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re buying new hens or chicks from a large flock to check theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been tested. More information can be found at www.gov.uk/eggs-traderegulations.

Q. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to update the rather overgrown old tennis court in the grounds of our holiday home. Should we still make it available to guests? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; BB, Exmoor A. Gill Nicholls, property manager for Helpful Holidays, says: A facility such as a tennis court is very popular, not just with families but also outside school holidays when couples holiday together. Even if the tennis court is not brilliantly maintained, it will create fun for families and amateur players and is worth advertising, providing it is clear of weeds and has a net in reasonable condition. However, you must make the condition clear in the description of your property so that guests know exactly what to expect, and do clarify if you expect guests to provide their own racquets and balls. Providing the tennis court will give your property an advantage over those without and help to secure the important early and late season bookings.

Properties in West Dorset can inspire buyers to find cash in their attic, says Chris McCaughey of Stags, Bridport In my opinion, Bridport is perfectly positioned between the Westcountry and London. It is at the heart of the Jurassic Coast in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty surrounding by the rolling hills of West Dorset.

This area is dominated by the Jurassic Coast, with a quaint fishing harbour at West Bay, setting for the famous TV drama Broadchurch.

Near here are numerous beaches and inlets for sailing and fishing as well as walking and fossil hunting.

Perhaps the jewel in the crown of this area is Lyme Regis, with its iconic stone Cobb and harbour. Lyme Regis is incredibly popular with buyers moving down from London and the South East. These buyers, many of whom are cash purchasers, are drawn to the area thanks to its good local shopping and excellent

‘A landmark home in Lyme went considerably over guide’ range of pubs and restaurants, including Hix at Lyme Regis. Here at Stags Bridport our successful sales in Lyme Regis have included a property called Church Acre on Rhode Hill Lane, a detached home which sold this year with a guide of £1.25 million.

Our most recent success was the sale of Sundial House, a landmark property in Lyme Regis on Marine Parade, right next to the beach. It is a detached Grade II listed, Arts and Crafts home set over three floors with all principal rooms enjoying views across Lyme Bay. The property was launched with an open day on the 3rd of May and a sale was successfully agreed to a cash purchaser who exchanged contracts considerably in excess of the guide price within four weeks of first making the offer.

Stags Bridport are experiencing high demand for homes of this nature within the area and of course there were a number of disappointed buyers interested in both properties.

We have a simple philosophy at Robert Williams. Keep it focused, and do it well.

We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pile on instruction after instruction hoping some will sell, but instead prefer being a little more selective about what we take on.

This allows us to give each property â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and its owners â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the attention they deserve. Like making sure that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s marketed with as much vigour as possible, and that the photography really shows it at its best.

It means we can all fully familiarise ourselves with a property before we start showing it (nobody likes a negotiator trying to bluff about a property they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know!). Finally it allows us to give buyers the time they need to fully appreciate a property and to update you properly.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about time to do things properly.

Vivid variety in West Devon There are certain moments as an estate agent when you really can take a moment to appreciate the area in which you work, and this is often the case in West Devon and the Tamar Valley.

Only last week as I left a valuation, my exit route was blocked by moorland sheep taking their time to cross the road. This forced me to take a moment to absorb the breathtaking scenery over Dartmoor, surely one of the most beautiful places in the country on a clear summer’s day.

The area offers beautiful scenery.

Alongside the rugged landscape of Dartmoor there is the river and woodland in the Tamar Valley, with numerous picturesque villages offering buyers a fantastic rural lifestyle.

Many of our buyers move to the area from out of county, with London and the South East the largest demographic. The draw for most is the easier pace of life and idyllic surroundings. This is especially obvious with the leads by our London office, which proves to be a fruitful source of good quality enquiries from genuine buyers.

This area also features some interesting and varied architecture ranging from quaint character cottages in the Tamar Valley to grand Georgian country houses and everything in between. The history of the area comes alive in properties such as Fishery Cottage, a former Duke of Bedford cottage retaining much of its Victorian detail after sympathetic restoration by the owners.

The property has no near neighbours and beautiful views, and is on the market with us for £499,950.

The Sanctuary is another great instruction. The property is set on the edge of the pretty village of Bridestow which has a strong sense of community and a local pub, yet the prop-

Martin Deacon from Abode has some true gems in his patch erty’s situation at the top of the hill offers privacy as well as views to every angle.

The property is flanked by 3.7 acres of land and would be perfect for a horsey family, with stabling and tack room.

Tavistock itself continues to attract a growing number of visitors and as a

‘Character cottages, grand old houses, and everything in between’ town offers a great range of individual shops and businesses. For many, it is a dream to move to the South West, often as a result of numerous holiday trips to the area creating a draw which is hard to ignore.

My feeling is that the market is now

in a much stronger position for sellers than we have seen for many a year, with an increased number of sales and, indeed, a firming up of sale prices. This was recently highlighted when a property new to the market received three genuine offers within one week of marketing, allowing the vendor the opportunity to pick the best buyer. Interestingly, the activity is also spread over the whole market rather than just one sector or price bracket. With further good news reports in the press, I look forward to the remainder of the summer market with great optimism.

As a new estate agency company, we have now been officially open for a month and have already built a great register of properties. One of the innovations we have introduced, based on the changing property market here in the Westcountry, is to offer glossy brochures for all instructions, not just the most expensive ones.

Opening hours are also an important point for us: we are open Sundays and weekends, giving out-of-area buyers extra time to view properties.

This has proved a success, with a sale agreed a couple of weeks ago at 7pm on a Saturday night.
