LONDON HOMES & PROPERTY

Two years ago, when, at the peak of the market, top-end homes in London were reported to be rising in value by £4,000 a day.

It’s all anyone talked about. Zoe Dare Hall carries on talking

A

t dinner parties, pub gatherings, during coffee breaks in conferences, it was the immediate point of bonding: Like football, only more inclusive. Everyone – rich or not – had a view about property.

And while prices were rocketing and people swathed themselves in the security blanket of a home that was earning them money while they slept, property was our obsession. Property porn became a source of fascination and Sarah Beeny and Kirstie Allsop were the industry’s madams.

And then the world collapsed overnight – but did it drag our new-found need to talk about property down with it? What has happened around the nation’s dinner tables? Have we actually learned to talk about something else at last?

“I remember sitting on a yacht in the south of France last September and the conversation was darker than night,” says Trevor Abrahamson, who runs the upmarket Hampstead estate agency Glentree Estates. “It was black hole time, utterly miserable, and the prevailing view on property was to not touch it. If you already had it, keep it and forget about it, and stick your money under the bed.”

Before that, Abrahamson recalls endless dinner parties where the conversation focused on nothing but property. “No matter what their jobs, people would far rather talk about their houses than anything else and they were like homing pigeons to me. I’d rather talk about golf, wine, women, but at a typical dinner of bankers, ad execs, QCs and entrepreneurs, they would all want to know my opinion. Property is the irresistible subject, whether it’s going up or down,” he says.

“In the boom, they talked about the 10 feature

ridiculous prices achieved for property like theirs, the great irritant that is gazumping and if they wanted to move, how there was nothing decent to buy, all typical conversations of a bull market.”

And though the climate couldn’t be more different today, the conversation sticks to a familiar theme. “Now they are talking about shortage of stock again, opportunities to trade-up, buying homes for their children and the merits of buy-to-let, with rental yields bringing in more than the cost of borrowing – classic signs of the next bull market,” says Abrahamson. “But it will take us about five years to get there.”

As a buying agent, Jo Eccles, director of Sourcing Property, is also a magnet at property-obsessed parties. “Two friends of mine, Ed and Asif, both in their early thirties, and I have met for dinner nearly every week for the past few years and our conversations always touch on property at some point,” says Eccles, 28, who owns a two-bedroom flat in Pimlico which she rents out and lives in a flat she rents in Fulham.

“Two years ago, we’d talk mainly about how the market was out of control,” says Eccles. “Asif, a City trader, was delighted he had sold his two flats in London and was feeling smug about the price he got for them. Ed, who runs a research firm, would talk about the house near Marble Arch he had just bought and was full of himself at having beaten other buyers in a bidding war.”

And how smug are they feeling now?

“Now our conversation revolves around their disbelief at central London prices being close to the peak again,” says Eccles. “Asif and Ed reflect endlessly on what’s happened and who has won overall. Asif is frustrated that he still hasn’t re-entered the market as he can’t

find any bargains and Ed thinks he paid over the odds for his townhouse.”

And Jo? She just likes the property talk. “It always makes for interesting dinner party conversation because we all have very different opinions and it usually gets pretty animated,” she replies.

Confusion over conflicting reports of what the market is doing has got us talking about property more than ever, thinks Mark Lawson from buying consultancy The Buying Solution. “All the data comes from different sources, so in my experience people at dinner parties are still hooked on property as they try to work out where the market is going and, for those of us who over-borrowed in the good times, what will happen if interest rates rise,” says Lawson. “Everyone wants to know which nationalities are buying in London now, whether the Russians are back, because of the impact that has in pushing up prices,” he adds.

For those in the property business, the topic is clearly as fascinating and varied as ever. But for those with other day jobs, many have more pressing and pragmatic concerns about finding finance, being able to afford the costs of moving and what will be the best investment for their – and their children’s - future.

“If there’s a general property theme among our peers when we talk over dinner, it’s whether to swap to a fixed interest mortgage before interest rates increase, as seems inevitable,” comments 50-year-old magazine editor Andrew Humphreys.

“Those of us tied into fixed interest deals constantly wonder whether we should have paid penalties to swap to a tracker a year ago, but nobody reckons it’s a good time to do that now,” he adds.

He and his 48-year-old wife Jenny,

PROPE R T Y , an artist, are also sitting pretty – they prefer to call themselves lucky rather than smug – as they sold their Blackheath house at the top of the market, for 25% more than they were expecting, and traded down to a far larger house that cost three quarters of the price near Canterbury in Kent.

“Our friends with adult children who want to get on the property ladder bemoan the fact house prices haven’t fallen to a level where they could easily

afford to buy and none of our friends think prices will drop significantly further,” says Humphreys. “All of them blame the moribund state of the property market on the Government’s failure to give firm direction on stamp duty and the pointless introduction of HIPS.” Which leaves a gap, surely, in the conversation. Politics anyone? X Factor?

Oh, though I did hear one interesting thing the other day. A friend of mine, he found this amazing house and... n xxxxx 11

LETTINGS Shilpa Lukka, senior associate at King Sturge gives us an overview on the state of the residential lettings market

T

he Docklands was definitely hit during the recession. Within my area of expertise, residential lettings, supply exceeded demand and rents plummeted.

However, in the last couple of months things have begun to change. Rents are creeping up and if anything, there’s now a shortage of stock.

That isn’t to say the property market has completely recovered. Recovery will be slow and it won’t happen overnight, but it is happening. Companies in the City are starting to recruit again and people are more frequently travelling to London to work or on business. Next year it can only improve and the economy is clearly moving in the right direction.

The Docklands is a great place to live and it’s nice for me to see rents starting to match the true values that the developments here provide. I think they are actually very good value to live in; you have some of London’s most luxurious flats with contemporary designs

16 market comment

and high specifications, located next to some of the most up-and-coming restaurants and conveniently suited to the workplace. You really don’t see this quality of accommodation across other parts of London.

As a result I’m really happy to be based at the Docklands branch of King Sturge. We’re right in the heart of Canary Wharf, one of the most exciting parts of the City, and as a company we get first hand access to new developments in the area.

I am particularly looking forward to seeing interest surge in two of our new developments which are just about to go to completion: Landmark and Ability Place. They will be available for sales and we will be providing the lettings for them too. Both have leisure facilities, concierge services, and high specifications and are located close to Canary Wharf.

The market has picked up again and we’re confident that demand on these two new developments will be high.

It’s also great to be part of such an experienced team. All the staff has been here a long time and understands the area. As a national company we have to keep our standards high and our motto is “to exceed expectations”. We pride ourselves on accuracy, consistency and professionalism – key traits in any industry, but even more important when you want to invest in a property and need to trust your agent’s advice.

My experience in residential lettings has paid off and I’ve now been a senior associate at King Sturge for nearly five years. As part of such an experienced team, I’m pleased to offer you my advice and tips about the property market in my new monthly column. And at the end of a turbulent year for all industries I am pleased to predict that the property market is on the up and that the docklands remain the place to rent or buy. n www.kingsturge.co.uk

STATE OF THE MARKET TOO LITTLE TOO LATE

ANGUS EDY OF MOVELLO COMMENTS ON THE RISE OF NEW DEVELOPMENTS IN CANARY WHARF

ALASDAIR CARPENTER OF LOURDES ESTATES COMMENTS ON THE STATE OF THE RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY MARKET

December is traditionally a quiet time in the Canary Wharf property market.

Tenants and buyers tend to be on the look out for bargains. Landlords know that if they don’t get a tenant by mid-December they are likely to have an empty flat until the new year.

However, this year tenants have to be careful they don’t negotiate too hard since many people are staying where they are and stock levels are surprisingly low. Good quality properties are being snapped up at close to asking prices and many tenants who have put in very low offers are being surprised and disappointed when their chosen property is let to someone else who puts in a higher offer. Long term tenants are also competing with short term Christmas holiday lets who traditionally pay more to stay over the holiday period.

We were expecting a large increase in stock with the completion of Pan Peninsula, Ability Place and The Landmark. However, completions are taking much longer than usual due to the difficulty getting mortgage finance and valuations from surveyors coming in lower than expected. Although the Landmark is still pretty much a building site, we have seen some early completions of one bed apartments (starting from £320pw) which are significantly bigger than their equivalent at Pan Peninsula. More completions are expected shortly...

The sales market is slowly picking up but developers still have large numbers of unsold units which they are considering letting out until the market picks up further.

This has not stopped some major developers cracking on with major schemes. Barratt is progressing well with the St Andrews Development in Bow and Ballymore are moving ahead with Baltimore Wharf on the Island and plan to start work again soon on their Leamouth Peninsula development, next to Canning Town station.

Consultation has also begun on the Thames Wharf site next to Wards Wharf in E16. With a network of canals and the first “Urban beach” proposed, this will be a truly innovative development.

With inflation edging up, quantitative easing coming down, it won’t be long before interest rates start to rise.

Buyer should take advantage while prices are low and tenants should make quick decisions if they want to be in by Christmas.

As the housing market takes its first tentative steps towards recovery, the FSA plans to impose heightened restrictions on mortgage lending. Maybe it has gone unnoticed by the FSA but banks and building societies have been tightening their lending criteria on mortgage funding for quite some time...

The measures outlined by the FSA will ban self-cert mortgages outright.

Mortgage advisers will be individually accountable to the FSA for the mortgage advice they provide and the products they sell. An affordability test will be introduced monitoring the consumer’s ability to repay based on disposable income after all expenditure, including bills, tax and even luxury items bought. They also plan to cover the currently unregulated buy-to-let sector of the mortgage market.

Putting an end to the days of the self-cert mortgage is not a bad thing. However, self-employed people need to have the ability to borrow mortgage finance if the UK plc is to recover and go on to thrive and prosper on the back of a successful entrepreneurial base. Therefore, it stands to reason that if you ban self-cert mortgages then care and thought needs to be given to the sensible assessment of affordability for self-employed people.

Asking for three years completed accounts for the self employed does not look entirely fair if the rest of the population are asked to provide three months worth of financial statements, payslips, bank statements etc.

As devil’s advocate I would merely make the following observations. Why is the FSA concerning itself with implementing changes that have been self imposed by the banks months ago? If the FSA is so concerned with the public’s ability to repay their mortgage debt why not ensure measures are in place to pass on the historically low rates of interest? How can further FSA regulation curb job losses, death, marital dispute and illness which are the key factors in defaulted home loans? Another glaring omission is the fact that the FSA have not decided to impose any restriction on the amount banks can lend relative to a borrowers income.

Given the financial debacle of the last few years, the need for increased caution in the mortgage market is evident but I can’t help but think the best course of action is banks making it easier for credit worthy individuals to buy property and not the FSA making it harder.

DESIGNER FOCUS: Joseph Joseph

T

alented twin brothers, Antony and Richard Joseph, launched Joseph Joseph in 2003. The brothers came together from different backgrounds (Antony studied design at Central St. Martin’s while Richard did a business degree at Cambridge University) and, coupled with a family history of glass production stretching back three generations, have built a successful, rapidly growing business.

Specialising in kitchen and tableware products, their trademark (and awardwinning) glass worktop savers are what you may know them for. Manufactured in Britain, from toughened glass that holds a lifetime guarantee against breakage, they are dishwasher safe, provide a hygenic, odourless, stain resistant food preparation surface and are heat resistant up to 280°c.

Joseph Joseph’s offering now includes kitchen storage, stylish clocks and an innovative chopping-board collection, stocked in numerous UK retailers and now sold in forty countries across the world. With one Joseph the business brain and the other the designer; combined they are a recipe for success. www.josephjoseph.com

LIGHT WORK

iRiVER RUNS THROUGH iT

As laptops have got cheaper, it’s been tempting to carry around the largest you can manage. That’s a false economy and Sony has sought to ease our load with its latest X Series VAIO, claimed to be the world’s lightest laptop at just 655g. This gold, black or carbon 11.1-inch laptop is also very slim at 13.9mm and includes high-speed mobile broadband with ‘Everywair’ wireless connectivity.

Folk often forget that there’s one thing the allconquering iPhone doesn’t have: a DAB radio.

Those after some crystal clear footie commentary, particularly, will love iRiver’s new B30. It’s not just got built-in FM, DAB and next-gen DAB+ radio tuners, but can even record radio shows and show you the week’s schedules. Add the ability to play MP3 music, videos – with a ‘shake’ function to change tracks – and the B30 becomes a totally unique gadget for fans of the ‘wireless’.

Sony VAIO VPCX11S1E/B laptop, £POA www.sony.co.uk

iRiver B30 portable MP3 and DAB radio 8/16GB, £139 www.dadaudio.co.uk

HIGH CLASS HI-DEF When it comes to Blu-ray, it’s all about the quest for pinsharp high definition – but there are a lot of budget players around that don’t always get the best out of the latest shiny discs. Denon’s latest Blu-ray player has features and quality galore. As well as supporting ‘lossless’ audio, the DBP1610BK can download extra disc content from the internet, play DivX video files and even hi-def video from camcorders’ SD cards.

Denon DBP1610BK Blu-ray player, £399.99 www.denon.co.uk

READER MEET AUTHOR It’s not been the phenomenon some predicted, but Sony’s idea to put 350 e-books into a five-inch tablet is proving a slow burning success.

Perhaps the most impressive aspect of Sony’s latest portable Reader is its battery life, which stretches to two weeks of constant use. With a 3G-capable device recently launched in the US, Sony’s new concept looks set to become the essential travelling companion.

Sony Reader Pocket Edition, £169.99 www.johnlewis.com

SENSITIVE SOUL If an iPod dock wants to be a de facto hi-fi for the home, in our opinion it needs a digital DAB radio tuner – and that’s just what MagicBox’s Touch Nocturne XP-1 offers. Its slide in/ slide out dock charges an iPod while it plays through two 7W speakers. There’s even a 20W subwoofer built-in, though it’s the touch sensitive blue-on-black controls that are likely to catch your eye.

DARK CRYSTAL With huge HD Ready tellies now installed in most lounges, the Christmas rush for bedroom TVs is about to begin. M&S is seeking to tap in to that trend with this Swarovski crystalstudded LCD TV. Available in black and bright pink, this 19inch is HD Ready and Freeview-ready.

M&S Swarovski Crystal 19-inch LCD TV, £POA www.marksandspencer.com

SOUND AND VISION Hi-fi is back. After a few years in the doldrums, compact hi-fis – like this Teac – are embracing DAB radio and digital music. Teac’s DR-H358i goes one better by offering not only CD playback, but even DVD discs – and you can hook it up to a TV via its HDMI output. It also plays MP3 and WMA music, and also DivX video files.

Teac DR-H358i DAB/FM receiver & CD/DVD player, £379 www.teac.co.uk

TOUCH OF CLASS Radio may never be the same again. It may have a huge colour touchscreen, customised ‘apps’ and a Wi-Fi digital streamer, but Pure’s breakthrough Sensia gadget is, at its heart, a digital DAB radio. Controlled via the touchscreen through iPhoneesque scrolling, tapping and swiping, the elliptical Sensia is available in red, yellow, black or white.

Pure Sensia DAB radio & internet radio, £249.99 www.touchmyradio.com

CALLED TO THE BAR Messy 5.1 home cinemas are so last century. KEF’s stylish KHT range now includes this sleek soundbar that offers a three-way speaker system complete with subwoofer; surround sound it may not be, but a vast improvement on your TV’s sound quality is assured. It’s designed to discretely accompany a 42-inch plasma or LCD TV and can be easily mounted on a wall.

KEF KHT8005 Soundbar, £1,099 www2.kef.com/gb

CAUGHT IN THE NET All-in-one home cinemas have been around a while, but since they’ve started to include Blu-ray players they’ve become a must-have in the lounge. LG’s new HB954SP not only offers Full HD playback of Blu-ray discs, 5.1 surround sound using satellite speakers and 1,000W of audio power, but some other nifty features – an iPod dock, downloads from BD Live, and one click access to YouTube and its 2.5 billion videos.

elcome to the modern gentleman’s club.

Let me take you through its workings; its history, design and aspirations. Here you will experience a true renaissance of everything believed to be popular, fashionable and modern. Leave your coat at the door and follow me through various rooms, through this glamorous world of Hollywood sets and Grand Prix racing.

First the office; its simple lines and symmetrical proportions fit in well with any working man’s habits. The walls are clad with vintage posters, mementos of iconic Grand Prix’s raced on the Circuit de Monaco. In the centre of the room sits a galvanized steel desk of visually imposing dimensions with instruments glimmering off of its surface; a platinum and black lacquer fountain pen complete with 18K gold nib and a money clip made from carbon fibre, a material associated with aerospace, civil engineering, and motorsports.

Through to the smoking room, take a seat in a modern classic based on the 18th century Wingback chair upholstered in black mohair velvet. To your left is a bar in lacquered wood with a lobster pink fabric interior, hiding gleaming decanters filled with your favourite poison, poker chips and decks of cards. Why not switch on the reading light and leaf through glorious pages bound together and encased in glossy covers.

Once inside uncover tales of British Auto Legends and read of Steve McQueen manoeuvring his

Gold plated Bedside Gun light, by Philippe Stark, £878, Aria Shop 020 7704 6222; www.ariashop.co.uk

Now for the bedroom; there is music playing out of a piano lacquered cabinet and on entering your eye is drawn to the gold plated gun lamp and apparently broken vase on the opposite side of the room. Think James Bond drama, of gun fights in five star hotel bedrooms and casinos on the French Riviera. The bed tells another story altogether, that of mod subculture, of the boys riding through the streets of London on their Italian scooters dressed in tailormade suits. The covers are black on black, the epitome of modern monochromatic elegance with quirky style touches so true of the mod way of life, their preoccupation with fashion and modernity depicted on cushion covers.

This movement has reinvented classic pieces to create a modern take on timeless masculine style. Cool, avant-garde materials have been incorporated into key examples of design turning staple objects into must-have items. It is not merely a trend, but a lifestyle choice, perfect for the work hard play hard club.  Carbon fibre Ascent Ti phone in black, limited edition, £10,400, Vertu 020 3205 1123; www.vertu.com

A FRACTION OF THE COST

Jess Harrison visits a true Tuscan hideaway and discovers the benefits of a five-star fractional experience

64 overseas property

A

s the car climbed up the empty, twisting Tuscan road in the afternoon sunshine, I knew we were in for something really special.

“Casale Pulcinello,” announced the driver, and we stopped outside a beautiful old farmhouse, entirely hidden from the road.

The first thing I noticed was the infinity pool, stretching away into a countryside of rolling hills, grape-laden vines and not a soul as far as the eye could see. The second thing I noticed was the delicious smell of lunch being cooked in the wood-burning oven in the courtyard. We had definitely come to the right place.

Casale Pulcinello is one of the newest restorations in Castello di Casole; a 4,200 acre estate located between Siena and Florence.

This clutch of forgotten farmhouses has been lovingly restored and the properties are now available to purchase for both whole and fractional ownership.

The latter option ranges from €290,000 to €445,000 for a 1/12 share (plus an annual maintenance fee) and offers time-poor buyers a hassle-free opportunity to buy a share of a unique Tuscan property. Plus, it makes financial sense given that owners will probably only have the time to spend a few weeks there a year.

LONDON HOMES & PROPERTY

The pill is sweetened further by the impressive benefits on offer, including access to language tutors, housekeepers, chefs and concierges who are on hand to arrange everything from airport collections to city tours.

While the Tuscan countryside provides the stunning exteriors, the villas are almost as impressive inside. Designers work with local suppliers and antique dealers to create a unique feel in every room: gorgeous pink and red tiling in a pretty country style bathroom, an old map of the region at the top of the stairs, a beautiful antique chest under a window. The result is a stunning combination of Tuscan tradition and modern opulence – a five-star experience that still feels like home.

Next year Castello di Casole is going to get even better, with the opening of the hotel complex that will be the jewel in its crown. The legendary Italian director Luchino Visconti – famous for the 1963 film The Leopard – once lived lavishly here, reportedly housing his several mistresses in the surrounding villas. Wandering round the picturesque ruins today, it’s hard to imagine their hedonistic past; still more incredible is the fact that by next June, this lonely, lovely spot is going to be brought back to life.

Nothing will be built from scratch (Tuscan planning regulations would never allow it – even the tiles of the swimming pools must adhere to strict colour guidelines), but the designers are working to reconstruct and restore existing historical structures.

When completedfinished, the complex will boast a 41-suite hotel, fitness centre, restaurant, gelateria, world-class spa and outdoor pool. Best of all, the village church is going to be restored to its former glory and opened as a venue for weddings and concerts.

There are also plenty of activities on offer to Castello di Casole owners, and we were lucky enough to enjoy two of these during our stay. Chef Lisa showed us how to make spinach and ricotta ravioli from scratch, stretching the pasta out with expert hands; while local artist Eva taught us how to paint sunflowers onto pottery, Tuscan style. “Molto bene!” she proclaimed generously as we added the finishing strokes to our masterpieces.

To my mind, one of the greatest attractions here (particularly if you’ve got a weakness for full-bodied red wine) is the fact that the estate also offers the chance to participate in all aspects of its annual winemaking. You can pick grapes at harvest time, enjoy blind-tastings, tour the cellars, visit other estates in Sicily and Piedmont – or, for those who believe holidays are strictly about being as immobile as possible, just lie back by the pool and drink the end result.

The idea is that you have all the benefits

of owning a Tuscan vineyard, without any of the hassle. That hassle is saved for winemaker extraordinaire Piero Incisa della Rocchetta, a man who practically has red wine running in his veins – his family produces the renowned Sassicaia label. Since arriving at Castello di Casole a few years ago, he has transformed every aspect of the estate’s wine-making process, from pruning back the existing vines so they aren’t over-burdened by grapes, to experimenting with natural composting, and importing the finest quality barrels from France.

Over a glass (or two) of locally produced wine, he explains the philosophy behind all this care and attention. “If you make wine well, you don’t put chemicals in the soil,” he says.

“You respect nature. It’s a very simple concept: whatever you take from the land, you give back. And you do it in an organic way.”

The fruits of Piero’s labours on the estate are two wines, ‘C’, and the special reserve label, Dodici. The production of the latter is tiny: only 5,000 bottles a year, all of which are reserved exclusively for Castello di Casole owners. The wine is made chiefly from two grapes, French Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese, the quintessential Tuscan grape. One local wine-maker fondly describes this as ‘the Greta Garbo of grapes’ for its unpredictable and demanding qualities – it needs a lot of coaxing and attention to achieve the desired yield.

Nevertheless, the effort the wine-makers put in here is amply rewarded by the deliciously smooth result. As Piero insists, “If you’re not passionate and in love with your vineyard, then your wine is not going to be good”.

The longer I stayed at Castello di Casole, the more I realised that buying a fraction of one of their properties really means gaining a whole lifestyle – one which is luxurious, but is also a part of real Tuscan history and the traditional business of wine-making. If your idea of heaven is a glass of red wine (that you’ve had a hand in producing), sipped slowly while watching the sun set over Tuscanythe Tuscan hills, then this might just be the development of your dreams. n For more information, visit www.castellodicasole.com

IS IT TIME

TO SHAKE UP

STAMP DUTY?

Neeru Sembi, solicitor at Gawor & Co, asks if the recent rise in the property market can be sustained and if anything can be done to help ease confidence back into the property market?

O

ver the course of the last few months there has undoubtedly been a genuine rise of activity in the property market. However, from what I can see many of our clients are cash rich investors and overseas investors rather than the traditional first-time buyer and others looking to take a step up the property ladder. So, the question that is on everyone’s mind is whether this recovery can be sustained and what can be done to help ease confidence back into the property market?

With the market proving difficult to predict, it is anyone’s guess as to where it will be in 2010 but I think the Government can lend a helping hand and there are many others that agree.

The property industry is demanding a reform in stamp duty with several professionals adamant that a complete

66 market comment

suspension of stamp duty is needed during the housing downturn.

Currently there is no stamp duty payable for properties up to £175,000 although this will drop to £150,000 by the end of the year. However, has this generated enough movement in the market? In my experience I can see that whilst the bottom end of the market has had some help and allowed for individuals to purchase properties without paying stamp duty, in the London area it has really not made much of an impact at all.

So what has been suggested? I would argue that as a minimum the opening threshold of stamp duty should be much higher than £175,000 which would in the very least aid first time buyers particularly in London with the average house price in Greater London above £260,000.

First-time buyers are still finding it very difficult to gain entry into the market. Whilst there may be short-term joy at the thought of not having to pay stamp duty that soon comes to a halt when the mortgage application is made.

Consequently, as lenders are asking for larger deposits, buyers will struggle to come up with the additional cash for stamp duty. With the banks still being extremely cautious and conservative with their mortgage offers it could be a good time to explore what other avenues are available to kick start the property market in 2010.

Although there were talks last year that the Government was contemplating suspending stamp duty until the economic hard times are over, nothing came to light. It is of course not surprising given the loss of billions of pounds in tax that may be putting the government off taking such a step. However, it seems that now is certainly the time to introduce a new system. Perhaps stamp duty should be index linked which would be a far fairer system than is currently in place or the possibility of the “slice” system. In the “slice” system tax would be payable just like tax is paid by us on our income - in tax bands. Therefore, instead of jumping straight from paying 3% duty for a £500,000 house to 4% for a house that is worth £500,001, stamp duty should be paid in slices.

The future of the housing market is like looking into a crystal ball and with that in mind, it seems the perfect time for change and to produce a fairer tax that is in line with the modern market and the difficulties house buyers are facing. n Gawor & Co Solicitors New Crane Wharf New Crane Place Wapping, London E1W 3TS 020 7481 8888 neeru@gawor.com www.gawor.com
