Welcome to the Spring/Summer Edition of Local View 2013 In the following pages, we provide an insight into the unique London property market and showcase a selection of the most impressive London properties currently for sale and to rent with Knight Frank. The prime London property market continues to outperform, despite continued economic uncertainty. The clarity provided by December’s draft finance bill around the taxing of £2m+ properties owned through companies, resulted in a surge in activity in the early part of the year after months of uncertainty in the wake of the March 2012 budget. Activity levels are robust across all price bands in the market, and prices are still increasing, with levels already more than 20% higher than the previous peak in prices back in March 2008. However, it is interesting to note that growth at different price levels is moving at slightly different speeds. Since stamp duty for £2m+ purchases was raised from 5% to 7% in March last year, prices for properties under this threshold are advancing more quickly than those above the threshold. The exception is for properties worth £5m+, where prices are also climbing more steadily. London retains its reputation as a leading global hub and international demand remains a key factor driving price growth. Overseas buyers continue to view London property as a safe haven to invest in. Over the past 12 months, Knight Frank has expanded its global network, both in London and overseas, attracting more buyers and tenants from around the world. Our relationships with our overseas offices have never been stronger. Not only do all offices share a central database, but we have established teams looking after Russian, South Asian and Chinese buyers. We have also developed associations with leading real estate agents across Europe and America. Our acquisition of additional premises in Lower Belgrave Street means that we are the only national agent with dedicated sales and lettings offices in Belgravia. All our offices are supported by our continued investment in technology, allowing people to view Knight Frank properties from wherever they are in the world in one of 16 languages, including Russian and Mandarin. Moreover, our global website receives over one million web visits a month, giving our clients’ properties maximum exposure.
CONTENTS
I trust you will enjoy reading the articles contained within this edition of Local View and leafing through the many pages of wonderful properties that our clients have asked us to find buyers or tenants for. If you see any properties that interest you, or if you would like advice on any property matter then please do not hesitate to get in touch with any one of our offices.

The increase in Stamp Duty last March to 7% had a noticeable impact, with the price growth for properties valued at under £2m and over £5m outperforming houses between these price bands. Our view is that the long term impact of the higher rate will be to reduce transactions in the £2m-£3m bracket by around 5% below the level they would otherwise have been.
In April, rents declined by 0.1% taking the annual fall to 3.2%. Fig 1this trend is the Underpinning weakness of the financial sector 160.0 employment market which continues to bear the brunt of week 150.0 economic activity in the UK and Europe.

International demand for the very best London homes remains strong with overseas buyers viewing property in London as a safe haven investment. Over the 12 months to April 2013, overseas buyers accounted for 52% of all £2m+ prime central London sales.

Interest among buyers for prime central London homes remains strong. The number of new buyers entering the market rose by 22% in the first four months of the year compared to the same period in 2012. Property viewings were also up by 47% over this time.
MARCH 2011
0.7%
The changes to the tax regime for £2m+ properties owned through a company announced by the Chancellor last March also led to buyers adopting a more cautious approach. However, clarification regarding the tax environment in December resulted in ‘pent up’ demand returning to the market, leading to higher levels of activity in the early months of 2013.
Rents in prime central London have been falling for the last ten months. Despite this, they remain 22% higher than the trough of the market in the second quarter of 2009.

In April, property values in prime central London rose by 0.7%, taking the annual growth to 7.7%. Prices for London’s best homes have risen 2.9% in 2013 to date.

SALES OVERVIEW
SALES BY NUMBERS
The market: Turnkey and newly refurbished properties are still sought after by international buyers who see London property as a safe haven for their equity. Large lateral flats are in short supply leading to increased demand, and new buildings with concierge and security are highly popular.
Every day at Knight Frank Belgravia properties are viewed
Our outlook: The market has become increasingly price sensitive and the reckless spending seen in recent years has become more considered, with buyers taking their time to secure a purchase. Buyers are coming from a larger selection of countries and local demand remains strong. Who buys here: The regular Middle Eastern and Russian buyers are still active in the market, but it is getting harder to pinpoint the dominant nationalities as there are so many.

Chester Square
Exceptional Grade II listed corner house on Chester Square
LETTINGS OVERVIEW The market: Apart from February, where Belgravia rents rose by a modest 0.4%, average rents in prime Central London are 3.1% lower over the 12 month period. Although rents are down, the volume of lettings has risen with a 22.6% increase in new tenancies agreed in the first three months compared to the same period in 2012. Our outlook: The current dip in headline rents is evidence of constraints on affordability, combined with increased volumes of rental stock, as opposed to a downturn in demand. Our view is that rental growth will be positive with a forecast of 1% growth with improving employment prospects. Who rents here: There has been an increase in the different nationalities of tenants looking to rent in Belgravia with applicants becoming increasingly younger. Another trend we have noticed is an increase in tenants renting whilst they look for something to buy or have bought already and are in the process of modernising.

LETTINGS OVERVIEW The market: The appetite for properties from prospective tenants continues to be high and landlords will be encouraged to see that the number of new applicants and applicant viewings is up year-on-year by 24% and 4.5% in turn. Additionally, the volume of new rental instructions has risen by 20% over the year to date. Our outlook: The health of the wider economy continues to impact on rents and the Eurozone crisis reinforces pressure on growth. Confidence and affordability is likely to remain a central issue for tenants well into 2013. We forecast the sub £1,000 per week bracket is likely to perform exceptionally strongly over the next 12 months with the best family houses also attracting strong levels of interest. Who rents here: Western Europe, North America, UK nationals and affluent French nationals make up the main body of our tenants. Collingham Gardens

We forecast the sub £1,000 per week bracket is likely to perform exceptionally strongly over the next 12 months with the best family houses also attracting strong levels of interest. Who rents here: Western Europe, North America, UK nationals and affluent French nationals make up the main body of our tenants. Collingham Gardens

The market: It has been active in the first quarter of this year with a distinct increase in activity within the houses sector and larger lateral flats. Kensington has seemed to buck the trend of the downward growth of the lettings market and is still seeing a small percentage increase of values. Our outlook: We are still cautious of the effects that the City job market has on the activity levels we are seeing; however, the demand continues to outweigh the supply of stock in the higher end of the market, which shows a positive step for Kensington with a return of the high value market. Who rents here: International students, families and professionals relocating for work or study opportunities.

The market: Knightsbridge remains the high-profile focus for global buyers looking for everything from a pied-à-terre to substantial family houses. The market is robust and confident, under pinned by the current weakness of sterling, making buying all the more compelling. Our outlook: Knightsbridge will see a strong year, tight supply meeting continued global interest as prospective buyers continue to see prime central London as a defensive asset class, particularly in the light of recent events in Cyprus and uncertainty in the Middle East.

LETTINGS OVERVIEW
LETTINGS BY NUMBERS
The market: There has been a noticeable upturn in the lettings market in terms of volume, with 14% more tenancies agreed in 2013 so far compared to the same period in 2012. At this time of year the family house market starts to become active. This year due to stock moving over from the lettings market to the sales market, there is a shortage of family houses. Our outlook: Our view is that rental growth will be positive moving into 2013, with an improving outlook for employment and increasing business sentiment in London, especially in the technology and media sectors, providing a boost to the activity in the lettings market. Who rents here: The lettings market in Knightsbridge is truly international, as well as many British tenants. Tenants usually come from the corporate sector alongside high-net-worth individuals.

We were instructed via an introduction through our Client Services department to let a house in Flood Street where the landlord had been let down at the last minute by a tenant introduced via another agent. Finding a suitable tenant had been tricky as there were major works at the back of the house. We quickly found a suitable tenant for the house and the landlord was so pleased with the service we were promptly instructed to let a second house in Walton Street.

NOTTING HILL
NOTTING HILL AREAS COVERED W11 W10 W2
Best known for: Its diversity, the Notting Hill Carnival (Europe’s largest street party), Portobello Road market (a mecca for bargain hunters), its bohemian vibe and charm and, of course, the iconic movie Notting Hill (starring Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts). Boroughs: Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, City of Westminster Area: Notting Hill is a wonderful balance of peace and tranquility combined with the buzz and excitement of the City. Residents are attracted to the ‘bohemian-meets-cool’ atmosphere and the diverse mix of people and places, from the magical and idyllic garden squares, to the boutiques and café culture of Westbourne Grove and the hustle and bustle of Portobello Road and Notting Hill Gate. Social and cultural attractions: Notting Hill is home to Europe’s largest street party – the Notting Hill Carnival. The huge range of bars, gastropubs and award-winning restaurants means you can experience excellent food and drink from all corners of the globe. The Electric Cinema and the Coronet show the latest blockbusters, while The Gate Picturehouse caters for those looking for something a little more art-house. Other attractions include The Museum of Brands Packaging and Advertising and The 20th Century Theatre. Sports and leisure facilities: As well as having many beautiful communal gardens, Notting Hill is close to the wide open spaces of Hyde Park, Kensington Gardens and Holland Park. Holland Park is renowned for its Kyoto Garden, sports facilities and picturesque walk to Kensington High Street. There are also a number of cycling routes, sports clubs, yoga and pilates centres. Our favourite places: The Ledbury, a restaurant with two Michelin stars; The Oak, for wood-fired pizzas; Granger & Co, courtesy of Australian celebrity chef Bill Granger; E&O, for pan-Asian cuisine and inventive cocktails; The Rum Kitchen, a Caribbean style beach shack; Hummingbird Bakery, for exquisite cupcakes; Assaggi, for wonderful Italian dining tucked away on a cobbled mews; Julie’s, regarded as the ‘rock chic’ restaurant of the world; Dock Kitchen in W10, a waterside restaurant; Jamie Oliver’s new venture Recipease; and for arguably the best coffee ‘in town’ go to The Grocer on Elgin Crescent and seek out Samir.

NOTTING HILL SALES
SALES OVERVIEW
SALES BY NUMBERS
The market: We have now entered a perfect and uninterrupted selling window following the much-needed clarity after the Chancellor’s Autumn Statement in December. This certainty has now encouraged buyers, who were previously sitting on the fence, to return to the market, proving that the market in Notting Hill still remains robust and resilient.
On average we have achieved
Our outlook: The market is currently fuelled by a strong and pent-up demand across all sectors. A lack of first-class stock is keeping prices at a competitive level. In addition to which the ‘currency play’, due to the fall in the value of sterling, has increased the appetite for property in Notting Hill from overseas buyers, especially those located in the troubled Eurozone. We envisage a very active spring/early summer market.
of the guide price on sales in the past 12 months
Who buys here: Notting Hill still attracts a multitude of different nationalities, and, as mentioned above, we are experiencing demand from a wide spectrum.

SALES INSIGHT
We have seen a surge in demand for communal gardens, family houses and are also experiencing an increased demand from families wanting to downsize and an increase in demand for ‘turnkey’ lateral apartments in good buildings. Lateral space in Notting Hill is rare and commands a premium. Caroline Foord Head of Sales

Our outlook: The market is currently fuelled by a strong and pent-up demand across all sectors. A lack of first-class stock is keeping prices at a competitive level. In addition to which the ‘currency play’, due to the fall in the value of sterling, has increased the appetite for property in Notting Hill from overseas buyers, especially those located in the troubled Eurozone. We envisage a very active spring/early summer market.
of the guide price on sales in the past 12 months
Who buys here: Notting Hill still attracts a multitude of different nationalities, and, as mentioned above, we are experiencing demand from a wide spectrum.

Our client was then referred to Knight Frank Finance and is now looking to buy through our New York residential Partners Douglas Elliman.

LETTINGS BY NUMBERS
The market: The appetite for properties from prospective tenants continues to be high and landlords will be encouraged to see that the number of new applicants and applicant viewings is up year-on-year by 24% and 4.5% in turn. Additionally, the volume of new rental instructions has risen by 20% over the year to date. Our outlook: Confidence and affordability is likely to remain a central issue for tenants well into 2013. We forecast the sub £1,000 per week bracket likely to perform exceptionally strongly over the next 12 months with the best family houses also attracting strong levels of interest. We foresee growth in the region of 1% across the London market.
