STAR TESTIMONIALS
“We are all very grateful for the extraordinarily smooth progress from us first contacting you to completion of the sale. You and your staff are all utterly professional, helpful throughout and considerate of the circumstances. We are glad we asked Pearsons to represent us having checked out the alternatives. Thank you again.” – Mr and Mrs H., “I would like to thank you for helping me with my property purchase over the last few weeks. Thank you for your professionalism and diligence. All the best to you and yours.” – Mr R D,
Welcome to the Spring edition of Dwell, which heralds a transition into what is generally regarded as the busiest period in the property calendar. I
t has certainly been an interesting and eventful first half of 2016, with the
housing market having to adjust to some significant changes in legislation, which govern policy and practise in the property sector, coming into effect. The most recent of these is the Mortgage Credit Directive, which serves to regulate the information available to home buyers across the European Union, as well as setting a standard for advisory bodies being able to operate under an 'independent' status. It's created a pressing need for those seeking guidance about the mortgage products on offer to seek out the advice of a reputable agent while lenders reconsider their position. We go into more detail on what this means for prospective buyers on page 37. April also heralded the introduction of new rates of stamp duty, meaning that properties sold over the value of £125,000 are now subject to an additional 3% in fees. It's a change to legislation that has long been anticipated, and it will be interesting to see in the coming weeks and months what impact, if any, this has on the movement of the housing market. The race to market that was hotly tipped in 2015 never quite came into fruition with the market maintaining a stronghold throughout the latter part of the last quarter. If early indication is anything to go by, the current trend doesn't presently show any signs of slowing down. Our Country and Individual homes clients will again have the opportunity for their property to be marketed to the lucrative London audience as we embark on our second London Property Exhibition. This is just one of the new initiatives we introduced as part of the Country and Individual Homes service during 2015, and we were especially pleased with the response our portfolio received when we trialled this service for the first time last year. With the South of England within prime commuter belt territory, London is one of the key areas where the demographic of potential buyers looking to purchase unique character homes outside of the city reside. To be able to market our clients' properties directly to these prospective buyers, in a personable, face-to-face capacity, in our opinion affords the opportunity to sell their home quickly, and for the best possible price. Please speak to your local office if you have an interest in showcasing your property as part of the upcoming exhibitions for 2016. As always we have an eclectic and impressive selection of properties for sale in South Hampshire included in this edition of Dwell. You'll find property indexed by local office for your convenience, sitting alongside some great editorial content. If you have any questions regarding our Country and Individual Homes service please do visit our website www.countryandindividualhomes.com for more information or contact a member of the team who will be all too happy to assist you.

A taxing time ahead? As chancellor George Osbourne ploughs ahead with proposed changes in buy-to-let properties, Pearsons Director Lee Turner reflects on what this really means for potential and existing landlords. I
t was a change in legislation that no one saw coming, and
one that continues to leave those with a buy-to-let mortgage scratching their heads and reconsidering their options. Because what was once a buoyant investor-friendly market has been shaken up by the announcement that from April 2017 tax relief on buy-tolet mortgages will comprise of a standard, singular, 20% flat rate. While those in a lower tax bracket will be, in theory, unaffected by the tax relief changes, the news has understandably angered some higher grossing landlords, who under the new law, will see their net profits plummet, as the rate of interest repayable on their buy to let mortgage does the exact opposite. The debate on how to counterbalance these, in some cases substantial, losses roars on, with no obvious immediate solution in sight. With some predicted shortfalls in rental yield in excess of ÂŁ1000 per annum, increases to recoup costs are an unlikely option, especially considering a high proportion of tenants are already paying what the top end of their budget affords. Other options, such as operating under a limited company thereby qualifying for corporation tax which would offer lower rates of repayment versus income tax, have come under scrutiny because this approach significantly narrows the choice of lenders available to prospective buyers. The only real way out for landlords who find themselves affected by the tax relief change is to put their property in the name of someone who is in the lowest tax paying bracket. Taking care to ensure that this doesn't put the individual at risk of entering a higher tax threshold as a result. Where some landlords will lose out, other prospective buyers can naturally expect to gain. First time buyers for example can expect less competition from the investor market as the number of buyto-let and second home buyers decreases. Likewise, retirees whose pension pots will be unaffected by the legislation changes also stand to benefit from the decline in competition. Where this leaves tenants is a less fortunate picture. Fewer properties to rent naturally results in increased competition for those that do remain, and with supply short and demand high, tenants may find themselves paying over the odds to secure a roof over their heads in this reduced tax relief climate.
If you have concerns about what the tax relief changes could mean for you as a current landlord, of if you're considering buying a property to let, please contact your local Pearsons branch for more information or visit us at www.pearsons.com.

Spring into summer Pearsons, supporting Sir Harold Hillier Gardens
Spring is such an exciting time in the garden, on your patio, or on your balcony. No matter how large or small your garden, there is a lot to enjoy and to look forward to. affodils have welcomed the early spring and all but the very late cultivars have now finished flowering. Most plants have emerged in their fresh lime-green spring foliage. Many trees, shrubs and herbaceous plants are flowering to take advantage of the long summer for their fruits and seeds to ripen. If you want a splash of a different spring colour in your garden, why not consider Toona sinensis ‘Flamingo’. As the cultivar name suggests, it emerges a shocking bright pink in spring. With wonderful pinnate foliage it forms a large shrub or small tree. As summer progresses it does become greener, with more chlorophyll developing in its foliage. It has an upright habit thus is suitable for smaller gardens and can easily be pruned. Grown for its foliage effect it is a plant you cannot miss seeing, no matter where you plant it. It enjoys a sunny or half shady position in any good free-draining soil. Once established it needs little looking after; removing any dead branches in the winter and giving it a good mulch each year. It can be pruned to keep it from getting too big but it is not a fast grower.

As spring turns into summer one of the areas not be missed on a visit to the Sir Harold Hillier Gardens is the Peony Border. Sponsored by Kelways Nursery (a specialist nursery in Somerset) this border is filled with about 70 different cultivars - both herbaceous and shrubby - of this glorious plant. It provides both a colourful spectacle as well as inspiration for your own garden.
Toona sinensis 'Flamingo'
Wisteria Hocker
Peonies are amongst the most colourful and impressive late spring and early summer flowers. The size of a large tea cup, their flowers delight with a range of colours. Most garden peonies are herbaceous perennials which have been cultivated and bred for centuries in the Far East. It is a clump-forming plant which is very long lived, easily reaching 30 to 50 years. Foliage is usually about half a meter high with the flowers held above. The buds gradually swell to the size of a ping-pong ball before finally opening to reveal the wonderful range of colours and petals. Anything from white, cream, yellow, to salmon pink, red and deep crimson is available. The flowers may be single, anemone-form or double, with smooth or crinkled petals. The plants prefer a sunny position in a open soil, free-draining but not too dry in summer. They benefit from a little support in spring to stop them from falling open and the flower stalks breaking in wind or rain. You can use a plant support or birch or hazel twigs. Within a mixed border, neighbouring plants can give support, though be careful not to let neighbours shade out the plant. Besides weeding and tidying the plant for winter, there is little else to do. Water when needed and give a thin layer of mulch or compost each year to add organic matter. Peonies can also be grown in pots and containers providing these are large enough to provide for a good root run and are regularly watered.

Get by with a little help when you lend As the new, EU imposed, Mortgage Credit Directive comes into effect, there's never been a more pressing need for homebuyers to seek out the advice of an independent mortgage advisor. W
hen it comes to purchasing a new property, securing
a mortgage is make or break, but whether you're a seasoned homeowner or a first time buyer, navigating the scope of products and lenders on offer is an understandably daunting endeavor. As of March this year, those muddied waters became all the more murky with the introduction, across the European Union, of the Mortgage Credit Directive. Having only just recovered from the UK's regulatory review of the mortgage market a mere two years ago, this latest legislation has once again thrown the world of lending into a tailspin. Whereas the previous regulatory changes concerned only the UK mainland, the Mortgage Credit Directive's influence actually serves to set a standard to be observed across the whole of the European Union. While this might sound to some like a positive intervention, the reality is a lot less rosy, and there's now more need than ever for the expert advice that only an independent mortgage broker can provide to ensure buyers don't come unstuck. As banks reconsider their position in the wake of the MCD's introduction, and attempt to make sense of the new rules that govern their practice, the challenge of securing a mortgage is made even trickier, as some prospective buyers have begun to discover. The new Directive has also had a knock on effect on mortgage advisors themselves, with those who refuse to advise on Second Charge Mortgages (a secondary mortgage taken out with a lender who differs from your main lender) being stripped of their independent status. It's a bitter blow that has seen a wave of professional bodies being forced to operate their business under a 'restricted' status.
For Pearsons' mortgage partner Choice, however, independent status is something the agency have managed to proudly retain, as they are one of the few nationwide advisors who have opted to offer their expertise on second charge mortgages, in line with new regulations. It's a breath of fresh air for Pearsons' clients who can rest assured that any advice they receive from Choice is entirely independent and also paints a fully representative picture of their mortgage prospects to ensure they're securing the very best deal for their unique circumstances. If you'd like to make an appointment to speak to one of our impartial and highly-qualified mortgage advisers to discuss your requirements please call us on 0800 6128099 to set-up a suitable time to have a face-to-face meeting.

Going, going, gone! Why more and more savvy sellers are turning to auctions to offload property. hen it comes to selling property, the market is often summed up in one of two ways; whether you're a buyer or a seller and who has the advantage at the time. But what if there was a scenario where the homeowner and the buyer could both be winners? Well, when you sell your property by auction that's exactly what you get - and the process couldn't be simpler, as more and more switched-on property hunters are starting to discover.
Since his move from the sales side of the business into its auction division Steve's eyes have been completely opened to the endless benefits that selling a property at auction affords. "There's no chains, no surveys, no agonising wait for completion," he continues. "We sell a property at auction and the exchange takes place the same day, the completion 28 days later. Sales don't fall through at auction. It really is as simple as that."
Thanks to ever growing demand the number of properties being put up for auction in the UK is steadily increasing, with competition among cash buyers fierce for those that make it to the hallowed block. At their first auction of 2016, Pearsons' dedicated auction division smashed their previous sales record for property sold in a single auction, with a sum in excess of 2 million pounds achieved by selling only eight individual properties.
If recent legislation changes in the property sector have any bearing, it's likely that more and more sellers will actively shun the open market in favour of offering their property for quick sale at Auction. A fact Steve relishes "We're completely passionate at Pearsons about selling auction properties for our clients and while we always set a realistic guide price, we do everything in our power to achieve the best possible price on the day."
W
" We sell a property at auction and the exchange takes place the same day, the completion 28 days later. Sales don't fall through at auction. It really is as simple as that." It was an outcome that was even more rewarding for Pearsons Director of Auctions; Steve Sprake, who oversaw the auction for the first time since his appointment to the division in October 2015. Steve, who brought with him 16 years experience in residential sales for Pearsons local office in Southsea, attributes the appeal of auctions down to a simple fact - selling at auction is quick, easy and totally transparent. "I don't understand why everyone doesn't sell their house by auction" says Steve. "People are under the impression that to sell at auction your property needs to be dilapidated and in some state of disrepair - this is categorically not the case. 90% of the attendees our auctions attract are cash buyers with serious intent to purchase, and this could be anything from a project to a family home that's beautifully finished and ready to move into."
Selling at auction is nothing new, but it is becoming increasingly popular again as more and more sellers look to turn around their property for maximum profit and a quick exchange. If you're thinking of putting your property for sale at auction in the South coast area you can contact Steve and his team at their West End Office in Southampton on 023 8047 4274 or visit www.pearsonsauctions.com/auctions for more information.
