Source: *Land Registry
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. The status of London as a ‘must have’ property location and destination for stores of wealth has attracted the ultra-wealthy globally. The majority of indigenous buyers cannot compete with the pockets of those from overseas. Thus British buyers who have found that they cannot ‘buy up’ have ‘bought out’ or ‘cashed-in’ on their property and moved further out. Our offices in Richmond, Teddington, Weybridge and Wimbledon have all seen prices driven up by demand largely from British purchasers. Richmond upon Thames, for example, has seen average prices rise 17.1%* in the last twelve months, rivalling some of the more prime central London locations.
British buyers who have found that they cannot ‘buy up’ have ‘bought out’ or ‘cashed-in’ on their property and moved further out. 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. This will have an effect on the prime markets close to London, similar to what we are already seeing across the whole of Surrey, where prices have risen 9.5% in the last 12 months. 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

Wimbledon
Average property price increase in the borough of Merton, from July 2013 to July 2014* Source: *Land Registry
The Wimbledon property market has remained strong throughout the summer months and continues apace as we head into autumn. The continuing lack of housing stock available for applicants to view is a main factor for the increased sale prices we have achieved for our clients more recently. However, buyers coming out of the heated central London market will still find they can afford relatively more for their budget in this area. Families looking to buy and rent continue to move into the borough for its great schooling opportunities and our teams are here to offer knowledgeable advice on this and many other aspects of life in the area. STOP PRESS: At the time of going to print our Wimbledon Village office is undergoing an extensive programme of improvements. We trust however that you will continue to feel free to pop in to discuss with us any requirements you may have. We shall also look forward to welcoming you to our beautifully refurbished home later this year. 4 | jackson-stops.co.uk/london | facebook.com/JSSLondon

QA
Name: Stuart Mills Position: Sales Manager Why Wimbledon? Wimbledon provides the ideal mix of a rural feel but with close proximity to London and the City. It offers a fantastically diverse selection of property stock, including a superb choice of larger homes. Favourite part of the job? Never really knowing what I may see next, from a delightful one bed flat to a seven bedroomed mansion. How is the sales market in your area at the moment? The early part of the year was busy as the market climbed, and people were keen to purchase. After the summer recess, we are now seeing buyers returning, but overall I think supply will continue to be limited. This will keep the pressure up on prices, but I do not expect to see ever increasing pricing as buyers are being limited, not by desire, but in some cases by more stringent lending restrictions within the mortgage market.
Name: Amelia Redington Position: Associate Director, Lettings Why Wimbledon? Having worked in Surrey and central London, I feel that Wimbledon truly offers the best of both worlds; I enjoy the fast paced market, but also the friendly Village feel.
Stuart Mills Sales Manager Amelia Redington ARLA Associate Director, Lettings
Favourite part of the job? Having worked in the area for over six years, it is most rewarding when landlords return year after year wanting to do repeat business with us and respecting our professional advice. How is the lettings market in your area at the moment? The second quarter of our financial year is very promising, with August being the busiest month we have had so far this year.

Richmond Richmond upon Thames has been, and continues to be, a highly favoured location for people at many different stages of life: young professionals enjoy its excellent commuter links during the week (London Waterloo being a mere seventeen minutes away by train and with the District Line providing easy access into the City), whilst making the most of the wide array of bars, restaurants and nightlife at the weekends; families are drawn to the expansive green parks, beautiful houses and well-regarded state and private schooling options within the borough; older, established residents tend to settle because the vibrancy of the town and surrounding areas are, we believe, hard to beat. There is no doubt that the strength of the London property market this year has produced a ‘ripple effect’ on the local area’s house prices. However, whilst buyers in central London are more frequently in the form of foreign investors, we tend to see more domestic buyers walking through our doors. Many applicants are looking to move out of their ‘bijou’ central London property and upsize into a larger sized apartment, cottage or house within the borough. The good news is that, despite the price rises we have seen of late, central London budgets still stretch slightly further in the area, making Richmond a highly attractive proposition for those looking for more space. The quality of the schools continues to be a major pull for families looking to settle. If you are looking to sell or rent in the area, please do pop in to discuss any aspect of your property requirements with us. We would be delighted to see you.

Why Richmond? At the risk of betraying my Welsh roots, I would find it hard to imagine a better place to live than Richmond, it combines the best of London living with perfect village charm.
Why Richmond? I have worked in this area for over ten years and continue to love the borough for all that it offers – its history, architecture, parks and of course the River.
Favourite part of the job? I consider it an honour to work with such a fantastic team and to deliver excellent standards of service to our clients. How is the sales market in your area at the moment? The central London market has fuelled the large price increases we have witnessed in the last few months; a continued lack of property available to buy is also a significant factor.
Favourite part of the job? I am very much customer service orientated and I love the challenge of providing great service to a variety of clients. How is the lettings market in your area at the moment? We are now full swing into the busy autumn market, with high levels of enquiries from tenants looking to rent a variety of properties.

As long-established and quintessentially English commuter areas, Weybridge, Esher and Cobham remain incredibly popular with professional couples and families alike. Elmbridge borough has long been noted as an area providing its residents with an excellent quality of life; from great shopping to fine dining, towpath walks to health spas, superb golf courses to exclusive tennis clubs, there really is something for everyone to enjoy. In terms of property, the area provides a diverse range of housing stock, from penthouse apartments to substantial family homes. It often attracts those looking for something that little bit special, perhaps following a move out of central London or a relocation from abroad. For some, this can mean securing a home in one of the renowned, exclusive private estates in the area, such as St George’s Hill, Burwood Park, the Crown Estate, Oxshott Way, Fairmile and Ashley Park. Families are drawn to the excellent quality of state and private schooling within the area and enjoy making the most of the beautiful Surrey countryside at weekends. Commuters enjoy fast travel into London Waterloo and efficient road links to the M3 and M25, whilst those venturing further afield can access Gatwick and Heathrow airports within the hour. If you are looking for in-depth local knowledge we are always delighted to offer advice; please do call into our flagship Surrey office located on Queens Road. We look forward to welcoming you.

Dover House, SE1 prices from £895,000
Ben Babington Director, Residential Development Zoe Mercer Manager, Residential Development
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.

As well as being situated within close proximity to central London (Waterloo is just 35 minutes away by train), Teddington also thrives as a town in its own right, with an abundant array of boutiques, cafĂŠs, parks, sporting and leisure facilities all on the doorstep. The town is notable for its strong sense of community spirit amongst local residents, who are rightly proud of the many independent shops and eateries on their High Street, the highly-regarded local schools, keenly supported sporting clubs and beautiful parkland. Teddington also enjoys the benefit of being geographically close to other popular towns such as Twickenham, Richmond and Kingston, all of which are just a short journey away by bus or train; for the keen walker, cyclist or boat enthusiast, the River Thames and towpath can be accessed easily by Teddington Lock. We are delighted to continue our sponsorship of the Teddington Rugby Club (Minis) for the next two years. The club goes from strength to strength and with the recent unveiling of its fantastic new clubhouse, we look forward to supporting the children and their families throughout another successful season. Go the Minis! If you would like to discuss the sale or let of your property please do pop into our office on the High Street. We look forward to seeing you soon.

QA
Name: Russell Gooden Position: Sales Manager
Name: Mark Birch Position: Associate Director, Lettings
Why Teddington? For me it has everything that a single professional through to a large family could want in order to enjoy fantastic quality of life.
Why Teddington? Surrounded by beautiful parkland, bordered by the River Thames with a range of historical attractions and a variety of properties, with a boutique High Street at its centre, all within 35 minutes of London Waterloo… why not?!
Favourite part of the job? It’s always exciting to find a property that little bit special that hasn’t been seen before. How is the sales market in your area at the moment? Teddington has always been a strong market, but we were exceptionally busy throughout the summer period this year, which is traditionally a slower period in a family-led area.
Favourite part of the job? To coin a phrase, the variety of ‘people, property, places’ that each day provides; I like making my clients and customers happy. How is the lettings market in your area at the moment? The right properties are moving quickly and investment landlords are still looking to expand their portfolios as they see Teddington as a continuously strong market.
