Welcome back to homepage magazine for our central London region, with a selection of sales and letting properties to tempt you from our Mayfair, Chelsea, Holland Park and Pimlico offices. We’ve also taken the opportunity to introduce some members of our dedicated staff in this issue, as well as providing some comment and insight on the property market in your area. As we head into Autumn and what is one of the busiest periods of our year, it was encouraging to note that the central London market also remained buoyant over the summer months; indeed, Nationwide reported a sixteenth successive monthly price increase at the end of August, up from 10.6% in July to 11% in August compared to the same period last year. The prospect of an interest rate rise and more heavily regulated lending criteria will no doubt strike a cautionary note with those relying on mortgages to purchase property; however, central London often operates outside these constraints. These factors, combined with a continuing lack of stock available, make for a positive outlook for sellers and property investors alike over the coming months. As a final thought, if you are thinking of marketing your property, you could look forward to seeing it featured on the pages of the next homepage central London issue, which will be distributed to thousands of carefully selected residential addresses in the area. Alternatively, if you are looking to market your property discreetly/off market, we have proven success in this area, too. Please do contact your local office for further details.

Robert Butterworth from our London Research Department takes a look at the latest property research findings in your area. The last few months have continued to see prices in London rising strongly. The average house price in London now stands at £457,072*, a 19.3% increase since last year (July 2013 to July 2014). The growth in price over the last few years has been led predominantly by the central London boroughs. This is still the case with Westminster and Kensington & Chelsea for example, which have seen an increase in prices of 17.9%* and 18.3%* respectively in the last 12 months. Now, however, we are starting to see a price surge in areas such as Hackney and Lewisham, witnessing increases of more than 20% over the past year. Whilst there is a degree of uncertainty as to whether or not this growth is sustainable, as well as the potential tax implications of a new government next year, this does not appear to be having a depressing effect on the market. The fact remains that there are simply not enough properties for sale to meet the enormous demand. In central London, a major component of demand is from the international market. Eurozone buyers accounted for 14.5%* of the prime property buyers between January and July this year, the majority share of which was Italian (46.2%), up from 11.4% in 2013 over the same period. With Italy falling back into recession and greater degrees of market uncertainty it is understandable why capital is so keenly transferred to London property. The status of London as a ‘must have’ property location has also attracted the ultra-wealthy from other key locations, such as Russia and the Middle East, who typically have homes in several leading world cities. The proportion of the ultra-wealthy is increasing and thus demand for homes in the world’s largest cities follows suit. Properties in prime central London are not only scarce but highly desirable, underpinning prices because supply cannot respond to demand efficiently.
Whilst there is a degree of uncertainty as to whether or not this growth is sustainable… it does not appear to be having a depressing effect on the market. The London market will likely continue to attract strong demand from overseas, the improving home economy and general sense of confidence that is returning encouraging more British buyers to move house. We predict that London will not suffer from a ‘bubble effect’ and that prices will continue to rise this year but the rate of growth will likely slow, especially in 2015, given the prospect of a rise in interest rates and the uncertainty over a new government. This should not however negate continued positive growth.

from past to present
The Old Archdeaconry
Rivenhall Place
Holm House
Jackson-Stops & Staff’s Country Houses & Estates Office in Mayfair is responsible for the sale of some of this country’s most interesting and historic properties. In marketing such houses it provides the ideal opportunity to research the architectural and social history of the properties and to pass on a little background knowledge to future owners. This applies not only to period buildings but also to interesting and beautifully constructed contemporary houses which may well become the listed buildings of the future. With a property like The Old Archdeaconry in Rochester it was relatively easy to trace the social history. From this it was possible to match the change of occupant and critical events in the history of the Cathedral to alterations to the house. Typically the refronting of the house to give the appearance of a fashionable Georgian building and the addition of imposing principal reception rooms were designed to impress visitors and emphasise the social standing of the archdeacon. Like The Old Archdeaconry, Rivenhall Place is far older than one might at first expect. Set in beautiful landscaped grounds by Repton, when we came to research the history of the house we discovered that over the centuries it had been forgotten that the later façade was a rare example of Repton’s designs for a building. Of equal importance is the background to the construction of bespoke contemporary houses. A case in point is Holm House. Built in the vernacular style it meets all the demands of the 21st century and is constructed with enormous attention to detail. Of particular note is the choice of materials from the brickwork to the fireplaces in the principal reception rooms, chosen from designs found in various royal residences. The garden is designed by a RHS Chelsea Flower Show medallist. Such a property makes a very positive contribution to this country’s built heritage and like our wealth of historic houses is surely something to celebrate. For information about period properties contact Dawn Carritt Director 020 7664 6646 london@jackson-stops.co.uk or visit jackson-stops.co.uk/country

Pimlico sales and lettings 020 7828 4050 pimlico@jackson-stops.co.uk @jsslondon
Daughter to old Westminster, niece to Chelsea, younger sister to Belgravia and Mayfair and mother to newer Kensington – this is Pimlico’s architectural kinship.
Pimlico
Pimlico is almost unique in central London in that virtually all of it has been built on only once. It is remarkable that most of the area remained free of buildings as late as the nineteenth century, and even more remarkable that the vast majority of Cubitt’s original buildings are still standing. What was once a grim swampy marsh in medieval times named Bulinga Fen is now named after a small northern hamlet and their beer! Pimlico or Red Cap Derby Ale was the most popular ale drunk in Westminster between 1590 and 1700. So not only has the name changed but the area has undergone a remarkable rebirth and is now considered to be one of the top residential areas in prime central London but offering very much more ‘bang for buck’. The Pimlico office of Jackson-Stops & Staff has been firmly established for many years in the heart of the ‘Grid’ and is staffed by dedicated agents with nearly 45 years of combined experience. We are able to advise on all aspects of property related subjects, from residential sales and purchases, to investments and rental yields, through to International property.

Name: Harry Buchanan Position: Director, Pimlico Sales Why Pimlico? Pimlico is a superb area, well priced for its location, whilst still offering the very best of what prime central London has to offer. Favourite part of the job? The enjoyment of helping make something happen that benefits both buyer and seller. However long one does this job the thrill of agreeing a deal, however big or small, is superb. How is the sales market in your area at the moment? Pimlico has not suffered the effect of any slowdown yet – the market has continued to grow with buyer confidence / interest in looking for beautiful stucco fronted homes and investments remaining high. Name: Georgina Clarke Position: Director, Pimlico Lettings Why Pimlico? Pimlico is a lovely residential location and a major pull for people looking to rent in an area that provides all the benefits of central London living at a more attractive price than its neighbouring areas, particularly those requiring easy access to Gatwick, or those working in Parliament or Government departments. Favourite part of the job? The people - I am lucky enough to work for some fantastic Landlords, who I have got to know well over a number of years; it’s always lovely to find the perfect new home for tenants, too. How is the lettings market in your area at the moment? We have seen an unprecedented level of summer lettings activity and we are about to embark on the autumn market, traditionally our busiest time of the year. With the corporate market showing greater movement and the arrival of the new students and graduate trainees this is good news for Landlords.

Mayfair With Land Registry figures showing the City of Westminster achieving an average price increase of 17.9% in the period July 2013 to July 2014, it comes as no surprise that Mayfair remains highly attractive for domestic and international investment alike. The area will continue to operate outside of ‘normal’ mortgage lending criteria, with the vast majority of buyers purchasing property with existing finance, which points to long term resilience in the market. Landlords continue to see excellent returns on their investments, with the area remaining a perennial favourite of relocating professionals from abroad. We continue to register a great many applicants looking for something unique in the area; there is a real appetite for high quality, bespoke interiors and we are delighted to be launching properties matching this criteria in the coming weeks; please do contact us to find out more.

Why Mayfair? I can’t imagine finding a more historically interesting and beautiful part of London… quite simply, it doesn’t get any better than this.
Why Mayfair? It is one of the most exclusive neighbourhoods in the world, partly due to housing London’s most concentrated selection of luxurious hotels, restaurants, shops and private members’ clubs. It attracts tenants from around the globe and also city workers looking to escape to a more residential part of London with the beautiful open spaces of Hyde Park and Green Park nearby.
Favourite part of the job? I feel extremely lucky that my role allows me the opportunity to meet a fabulous variety of people and I still get butterflies when I bring something that little bit special to the market. How is the sales market in your area at the moment? It’s been an amazing few months, we have seen some incredible properties come to the market and I am genuinely excited about the coming weeks, which promise to be busy!
Favourite part of the job? Due to Mayfair being a transitional area the pace is fast and exciting and every day is different when meeting new clients and prospective tenants from around the world. How is the lettings market in your area at the moment? Overall I have found the rental market more balanced this year with supply not exceeding demand as much as last year. This makes for a more stable market for Landlords with void periods being slightly reduced as long as properties are presented in immaculate condition and at the correct price.

With property prices in prime central London marching skywards unabated, many of the capital’s traditionally wellheeled residents are finding that even a city bonus might not be enough to assist their climb up the property ladder.
looking south for new homes
The Bear Pit, SE1 - prices from £2.75 million The capital has experienced something of a ‘reordering’ of postcodes in recent years, as ‘typical’ buyers from one address are forced to look into neighbouring areas that are more accommodating of their budgets and expectations. This so called ‘donut effect’ has been far-reaching and savvy residential developers have been quick to snap up buildings and land in such locations to satisfy the heady demand.
that Waterloo station is actually situated further north than Victoria. Vauxhall also needs little introduction these days, with all but a single bridge separating it from the Thomas Cubitt mansions of SW1 north of the river.
It is for this reason that the south shores of the Thames are currently such a hub of activity, with a broad range of developers catering for the professional classes and buy-to-let investors looking for affordability, exclusivity and locational convenience. Huge swathes of SE1 and SW8 are being redefined with new glass towers, beautiful warehouse conversions and, in the case of Elephant & Castle, regeneration and remodelling on a gargantuan scale.
Our Residential Development team is launching a number of new developments in the area in the latter half of 2014, all of which have a unique and interesting story to tell; these include a converted Grade II listed former printing press on the Southbank; a boutique scheme of apartments in Waterloo designed by Argent, whose clients include Madonna and Freddie Ljungberg; a striking Victorian warehouse overlooking a garden square near the new US Embassy and a beautiful period school building in Vauxhall. All are within a short walk of river crossings and have been conceived to bring a prime central London specification to the capital’s newest hotspot.
It is easy to see why these areas are in such high demand. The Southbank is considered London’s cultural hub with a vast array of museums, galleries and first-class bars and restaurants on the doorstep. Many are surprised to learn
We also have a raft of other exciting projects in the area, some of which are yet to be revealed. Please make sure you are registered with us to get exclusive pre-launch information before they reach the open market.

Average property price increase in RBKC from July 2013 to July 2014*
18.3%
Source: *Land Registry
Chelsea Chelsea’s charm offensive continues to attract high numbers of buyers and renters alike to the area, with its blend of architectural beauty, sophisticated nightlife and fabulous shopping opportunities on Sloane Street and King’s Road. There has been much talk in the media of escalating property prices in central London and our Chelsea office has indeed achieved some exceptional prices for clients recently; in the year July 2013-July 2014, Land Registry figures show that the borough enjoyed an annual house price rise of 18.3%, which is clearly significant. Whilst Chelsea is home to many domestic residents, the borough is also seen as a safe haven for property investors from abroad, which is a key factor in maintaining such buoyant values. For an accurate, up to date view on the latest trends in your area, please do contact our office. Read all about it… in the meantime, if you are visiting Sloane Square any time soon, be sure to visit our sponsored iconic newspaper stand, which was designed by eminent architect, Thomas Heatherwick.

Why Chelsea? I’ve been fortunate enough to have worked here for twenty years and I continue to find something or somewhere that’s new.
Why Chelsea? Chelsea is a fantastic area and appeals to families and young professionals alike. There are great schools, the fashionable King’s Road for shopping, Harrods, wonderful bars and restaurants and easy access into the City. It has a real international vibe and there are some lovely peaceful pockets in amongst the buzz.
Favourite part of the job? Hearing the ‘exchanged’ word! How is the sales market in your area at the moment? The market has started to cool, with buyers negotiating far harder on striking a deal, although September is traditionally the month when more property comes to market and this is indeed starting, albeit at a measured pace.
Charles Puxley FNAEA Director, Chelsea Sales Emma Mills FARLA Lettings Manager
Favourite part of the job? The people I meet come from all over the world and from all walks of life; I genuinely love finding them their home away from home. How is the lettings market in your area at the moment? Autumn is traditionally a busy time in lettings and this year is certainly no different; we are experiencing strong demand across all levels of the market.

Holland Park
Percentage increase in the number of applicants registering to buy in the third quarter of 2014 in comparison to the third quarter of 2013** Source: **JSS Research
Holland Park and Notting Hill remain firm favourites with British and international applicants looking to buy or rent a home in this vibrant, cosmopolitan enclave of central London. The W11 area enjoys excellent commuter links into the City and West End, whilst providing a vast array of exclusive shopping, leisure and schooling facilities to its residents. Outstanding green spaces offer a perfect antidote to the fast pace of London life, with the Royal Borough’s largest park, Holland Park, boasting an incredible 22.5 hectares of gardens for residents to enjoy in this central location. Our own office research indicates that we have had a 75% increase in the number of applicants registering to buy, when comparing the third quarter of 2014 with the third quarter of 2013. This figure confirms what we already know, that the buoyant prices we have achieved for clients in recent times is a result of the lack of property available for motivated buyers to view.

Name: Sebastian Anduze Position: Sales Manager Why Holland Park? How could one fail to fall in love with such a wonderful part of London, with all of its diverse and varied architecture, parks, bars, restaurants, eclectic cultural mix and, of course, charm. Favourite part of the job? I love most aspects of my role, which allows me to indulge my passions for interior design, architecture and antiques; my absolute favourite part of the job is interacting with people from all backgrounds and providing an excellent service to clients, all with a good sense of humour and a smile. How is the sales market in your area at the moment? The sales market remains extremely strong in Holland Park and Notting Hill, with the perennial problem of lack of supply with a constant demand for quality property remaining. Our area is a perfect safe haven for investors from home and abroad looking to ‘park’ their money and I personally can’t see this changing in the near future. Name: Laura Giles Position: Lettings Manager Why Holland Park? Holland Park and Notting Hill offer great green spaces – Holland Park, Hyde Park, beautiful communal squares; fantastic schools including private, state and international options – and all of this within easy reach of the City via the Central line and to Paddington, Heathrow and the countryside. Properties vary from period conversions, to pretty pastel mews houses, to large maisonettes and family houses with private or shared gardens. Favourite part of the job? The sense of achievement when we have matched a good tenant with a great property, all the paperwork and preparation for the client coming together for the start of a new tenancy. We love the challenge of a deadline and the team effort it involves.

Correctly priced and well-presented properties are being snapped up within days as demand outstrips supply; this is especially true for family houses and good sized one bedroom flats. jackson-stops.co.uk/london | facebook.com/JSSLondon | 41
