DEC/JAN 2010

welcome note... I

t’s the December/January issue of London Homes and Property and we’re in the festive mood here! Christmas lights, pantomimes, shows, events and parties are lighting up your local area this month, so don’t miss our area focus pages to find out what’s happening near you. It’s definitely getting wintery here, and in light of the festive snow we’ve been looking abroad for some options for winter sun, including some stunning properties in the Languedoc region of France, where investment in a converted chateau or new home near a vineyeard could also offer the opportunity to make your own wine. If, however, you need year round sun then an award winning apartment in St Lucia - which offers stunning views of perfect white sand beaches and azure seas - might be just the thing. Whether you are renting or own your house, you’ll nevertheless want to make it look fabulous for the festive season. This month we bring you a burlesque twist on traditional

decorations, with purple trees and gold, sequinned presents. We’ve also sourced some great last minute gifts for your loved ones and scoured the interiors world to bring you the best in home office solutions. Out of the city we’re looking at country homes in Hertford, which offer both a unique and traditional way of life, coupled with easy commuting access to the city. In town, the second phase of a development at Caspian Wharf means a range of high end apartments, with stunning views in great locations. As we come to the end of the year it pays to look back, both on how the last 12 months have panned out, and what the next year will bring. Our State of the Market page this month looks at the benefits of renting for those people who don’t have the hefty cash deposits needed to obtain a mortgage these days. We’re back in February, so until then we’re wishing all our readers a Happy Christmas and a Successful New Year!

AREA SPOTLIGHT

blackheath

Titanic Exhibition The Titanic exhibition London event taking place at The O2 Arena is set to be one of the most historically significant exhibitions in the history of the ill-fated liner to date. With more than 300 artefacts from the ship itself and several recreations of rooms on board, fans of the Titanic’s history are in for a real treat. The event takes place from Friday 5 November 2010 to Sunday 1 May 2011.

Chapters all day dinning Image courtesy of: Shannon Sheridan, Sheridan Interior Photography

This wonderful serene area has so many charming homes to offer and, with some of the best schools around, it naturally attracts families. Some of the priciest properties are on the very upmarket and prestigious Cator Estate – a fabulous array of Victorian houses. More affordable options come in the guise of the über-trendy and innovative Span estate, designed by Eric Lyons back in the 1960s. Houses on the Span Estate were basically modernist developments that ingeniously

incorporated elements from the English garden suburb idea to create low-rise housing in lushly landscaped gardens. Shooters Hill is one of the most sought-after roads in the Blackheath area. The old town houses are stunning and actually deceptively large once inside. They overlook a bit of the heath and are in close walking distance of public transport. If you want some greenery, and you don’t mind being on a main road, then this place is certainly worth considering.

If you’re new to the area and yet to discover the fabulous selection of restaurants in Blackheath, then you are in for a treat. Chapter Two was opened in Blackheath Village in 1998. In 2008, it was restyled as Chapters All Day Dining, after undergoing an extensive refurbishment. You can pop in for a cup of coffee, or enjoy a sumptuous threecourse meal. Chapters are the proud holders of a Michelin Bib Gourmand and two AA Rosettes, and a Christmas menu is now available.

Drop-in workshop; suitable for all ages; 19 December at 11–4pm.

Sales of £1m+ homes doubles

There’s so much to be excited about in Greenwich of late, already being such a fabulous and eclectic place to live. And now it’s fast becoming an even more desirable location, as developers scramble to build an abundance of new homes. A favourite has to be Theatro, a phenomenal, creative development set on the site of the historic school of performing arts. Theatro brings together sophisticated, contemporary living

spaces for those that crave a blend of design excellence coupled with an urban lifestyle. Next to Greenwich Park there are a handful of desirable roads that boast what Greenwich is most sought after, in terms of living – its charming period houses. With the abundance of historic places to visit and the allure of the local people who create a real sense of community, who wouldn’t want to live in this delightful part of town?

You might be used to reports that the housing market is quiet, but according to research the number of homes that sold for more than £1m has more than doubled during the past year. A total of 2,992 properties sold for at least a seven-figure sum in Great Britain during the first six months of the year – 118 per cent more than during the same period of 2009, according to Halifax.

Cinderella Christmas wouldn’t be the same without panto, and Greenwich is lucky enough to have its very own production of the magical Cinderella this year at the Greenwich Theatre, running from 25 Nov until 9 January 2011 – a local highlight you won’t want to miss.

COMMENT

s ’ n o ht t l i H ig ds n i H

Something for nothing When something says it’s free, is it really? Hilton Ingram from Heath Estates spouts forth…

am a natural sceptic, so when I hear the phrase ‘free telecoms’ or ‘free internet’, I naturally feel that someone somewhere is paying for it, and it is probably me. When Alexander Graham Bell patented the telephone in 1876, I would be surprised if he could have imagined the direction in which the telecommunications industry has taken his invention. My first mobile was ten inches high, ten inches wide and four inches deep. It had a separate handset that plugged into a block of electronics, which then attached to a very large battery. I could stand in the pub with this large brick on the bar and ‘be in when I was out’, as they say. Everyone was very impressed; however, this came with a downside, which was the cost. The rental and phone calls were approximately £1,500 per month for each phone. For a similar rental and phone usage nowadays it costs less than £10 per month. I could dismantle my phone and put it in the car where it became a Class 1 handset, which meant that any passing birds getting close to the little stubby car aerial became a bit frazzled, whilst also losing a few brain cells. Today’s handsets are Class 4 or Class 5, which means the birds just get a little tickle whilst passing. The latest craze is to put four phones close together, pointing towards a piece of popcorn, and then to invite four friends to call the phones at the same time to see the popcorn dance (as seen on YouTube). Who said mobile phone aerials are safe? When the mobile phone companies started to build their network of transmission aerials, optical cable and satellites, the few people who could afford the cost of a call were the ones who helped fund the nowworldwide coverage of phone networks. Since the early days, the cost of calls have continued to drop in line with the increased number of phone users, but now with the advent of VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) it is possible to talk whilst linked via the internet. This offers a much lower cost – some calls are actually free – however, access to

the internet is required at each end of the call. Modern mobile phones are now starting to offer this facility and therefore are getting closer to the boast of ‘free telecoms’, even if you have to pay more than eight pence per minute for the internet connection needed to actually use your ‘free’ facility. When the internet was in its infancy, there were companies that offered to handle the link to the internet. Commonly known as internet service providers (ISPs), these companies would make their money from charging a monthly or annual fee. But some of these companies offered this service for free, and they made their money from the financial kickback that they would receive from the phone companies as the access to the internet is via a phone line, which always costs money. So, the moral of this story is that when someone says something is free, it’s most likely that it isn’t, because somebody somewhere is paying for the call. n

AREA SPOTLIGHT

SE1

The Tate Gallery Standing proudly on the South Bank is this popular modern art gallery located in the former Bankside Power Station. It is the most visited modern art gallery in the world, with around 4.7 million visitors per year. With way more visitors than originally anticipated, the gallery is currently preparing to expand, with an estimated £215 million development project that is scheduled to open in 2012, in time for the Olympic Games.

Sitting on one of the most spectacular patches of the River Thames is the superstylish Shad Thames. With its eclectic mix of both old and new properties, buyers are always keen to pay that little bit extra to be in this superb location. The converted warehouses retain their original characteristic features of exposed brickwork and winches, as well as large sign writing. Most are named after the commodities which were originally stored in them —

Vanilla & Sesame Court, Cayenne Court, Wheat Wharf, Tea Trade Wharf, with further buildings named after other spices too. It is said that a century of spices has infused into the brickwork, and apparently after they were converted into flats, the first residents of each building could still detect the scent after which it was named. Various new buildings have been constructed, with similarly evocative names, such as Spice Quay Heights and China Wharf.

Despite Christmas fast approaching, the market in Shad Thames is still buoyant. With such unique and popular developments, the shortage seems to be more a lack of properties, as there are lots of buyers ready to jump at the chance to get the right property whenever it hits the market. With exciting new developments due for completion next year in the surrounding area, such as Union Development’s Grange Gardens and with The Shard making fast progress at London Bridge, there is a lot of excitement in the area!

HAPPY NEW YEAR! They cram enough firepower for an hour-long display into ten explosive minutes, lighting up the London skyline for miles around. This year’s annual New Year’s Eve Fireworks display promises to be as spectacular and breathtaking as ever. The countdown to midnight begins at 11.55pm with the sky bursting into an explosion of light and colour following the twelfth chime of Big Ben. Launched from the foot of the London Eye and from rafts along the Thames, the display is visible from most of central London: there are viewing areas on both the North and South banks of the river between Waterloo and Lambeth bridges but the basic rule is that if you can see the Eye, you’ll be able to see the show. Alternatively, the fireworks can be seen on giant screens in Trafalgar and Parliament Squares, although these spaces fill up quickly. Travel will be free from 11.45pm on the night until 4.30am on New Year’s Day on bus, Tube, London overground, tram, DLR and on some Southern train services. www.london.gov.uk/newyearseve

The Magic ofLanguedoc If the thought of venturing to warmer climates to invest has ever crossed your mind, then look no further than the truly magical Garrigae resorts scattered around the south of France in the delightful Languedoc region

hen reflecting on the South of France we automatically think of the wonderful St. Tropez or the super-chic Cannes; however, it seems that the secret of the still relatively undiscovered Languedoc region is about to be uncovered. Launched in 2003 with three operational developments already under their belt, Garrigae seems set to make their mark on the picturesque South of France; a dreamy location that has so much to offer visitors from all around the world and is fast becoming a fashionable tourist destination. The company created by Miguel Espada and his wife Cecile, both Languedoc natives, has the personal touch that larger companies are lacking. With their respective families being wine makers for

generations, it seemed only natural that their love of the vineyards and home-produced fine wine would be entwined in their passion for property. With a vision to provide a little piece of their enviable French lifestyle to investors and visitors alike, Garrigae set out to build and restore boutique developments that would remain authentic and classy, yet not pretentious. The charming Le Couvent de Herepian, a 17th century building that used to house nuns, has been beautifully and sympathetically restored by Garrigae to showcase the very best of French architecture and design. Set in a breathtaking countryside location, the 13 suites ooze glamour and sophistication, as well as fascinating charm â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a perfect loversâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; retreat. By complete contrast, Port Rive Gauche, yet another luxury retreat and spa, offers uninterrupted

OVERSEAS PROPERTY

views of the Mediterranean from its 11 über-chic contemporary two bedroom suites. Situated in the quaint village of Marseillan, its people make their living from the cultivation of oysters and the distillation of Noilly Pratt – a locally produced and rare authentic vermouth. Why not take a tour around the distillery and enjoy seeing first-hand how this famous beverage is made? The tranquillity of Les Jardins De Saint-Benoit, an extension of the village of Saint-Laurent-de-laCabrerisse, has its very own on-site vineyard, which owners have a share in, as well as a three-acre olive grove. One of Garrigae’s larger developments, this international resort offers outstanding facilities for families with children, as well as high-quality conference facilities. The on-site spa offers a full range of holistic treatments, as well as luxury facilities, including a pool and Jacuzzi. Travelling around the rest of the beautiful countryside and quaint villages of the Languedoc region, Garrigae has cherry picked another two sites to work their magic and share with the world a slice of their wonderful French lifestyle. My favourite by far has to be the 18th Century Chateau De La Redorte, tucked away in the Minervois. An authentic and untouched area of the Languedoc, the Chateau has been the residence of the d’Artois family for five generations, and with the resident Countess d’Artois’s full blessing, Garrigae is now ready to give this architectural masterpiece a new breath of life, restoring the Chateau back to its original beauty. Originally a wine-making estate, Garrigae have arranged a partnership with the Chateau and Franz Vénes, owner of Domaine Massamier La Mignarde, one of the most renowned wine estates in the Minervois region. Each owner will be able to participate in the wine-making process, both tasting and mixing the wine in the Chateau’s secret tunnel. As well as 11 luxury apartments within the Chateau itself, there will also be new outbuildings consisting of 12 duplex properties carefully constructed to lend themselves to the style of the Chateau, all located around a stunning swimming pool. Due for completion in early 2012 is Les Templiers, a 49-unit development located in the pretty medieval town of Pézenas, with its gorgeous cobbled streets and period architecture. Boasting mild winters and long summers, Pézenas would make the perfect retreat to buy that second home close to the Mediterranean. The Languedoc’s coastline is home to one of the longest Mediterranean beaches, stretching 220km along the sea. With its exceptional climate, stunning architecture and pure unspoilt beauty, this location really does offer excellent quality of life. The pace slows down as soon as your plane hits the tarmac, and being just over an hour away from the UK by plane, it makes your second home very close to home indeed. n www.garrigaeresorts.com

New development at Caspian Wharf offers stunning pied À terre in perfect location

he second phase of apartments at Caspian Wharf has just been launched by Berkeley Homes.

The launch follows the success of the first phase of the development, Atlantic Apartments. Pacific Court offers 162 stylish homes comprising one, two and three-bedroom apartments and penthouses. As well as offering exemplary city living, many of the homes also benefit from outside space in the form of a private balcony, terrace or garden with views of Canary Wharf’s landmark skyline, the Limehouse Cut Canal or the development’s own

beautifully landscaped gardens. The area of Caspian Wharf offers residents excellent transport connections. With Langdon Park DLR just a third of a mile away, anyone working at Canary Wharf can be home in just 11 minutes.

their free time can make the most of the facilities which the development has to offer. A Tesco Express is already located in the ground floor of Atlantic Apartments, offering the convenience of a local store on your doorstep while future phases of the development include space for shops, bars, restaurants, and offices. People with more energetic pastimes in mind can make use of the proposed gym, or take advantage of the running and jogging route along the Limehouse Cut to Victoria Park. Slightly further afield, a wide range of leisure and shopping attractions including the London Eye, Tate Modern, The Globe Theatre, Oxford Street, Tower Bridge and Hyde Park are all easily accessible from Caspian Wharf. Apartments in Pacific Court are due for completion in 2012, just in time for the Olympic Games, a prime motivation for the extensive development and regeneration of the entire area. A new entertainment and leisure facility is being created in the area as well as a Westfield shopping centre in Stratford, all of which will build communities that sustain the area long after the Olympics’ closing ceremony. Inside, the apartments boast a stunning finish, with

exceptional attention to detail and high specification kitchens and bathrooms. Each comes with under floor heating and an audio entry system offering added security and peace of mind. There will be a 24-hour concierge service on site and secure underground parking available to selected apartments. Piers Clanford, sales and marketing director of Berkeley Homes (Capital) Plc comments: “Caspian Wharf plays an important part in regenerating Bow. As the development grows, so does the surrounding area, with better amenities and communities. This means we are contributing to improving the area and, in turn, the lives of the people who live there”. A selection of one, two and three bedroom apartments and a penthouse are available at Pacific Court. One bedroom apartments start at £229,950. Two bedroom apartments start at £302,500 and three bedroom apartments start from £404,950. n To find out more about Caspian Wharf visit the development at 1 Yeo Street, Bow, London E3 3AE.

HOME is where Hertford is From historic countryside to office desk in 45 minutes

hoosing a countryside dwelling over a city residence can increase life expectancy by an average of two years, suggests recent research by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra). No surprises then, that increasing numbers of homebuyers are looking to ditch cramped city-centre living in favour of rolling fields, picturesque villages and fresh country air. To those looking to pair the benefits of rural living with under a one hour commute to central London, the recently launched Balls Park development in Hertford seems the ideal solution. Located on the outskirts of Hertford (a town that recently appeared in Channel 4’s Top Ten Places to live in the UK), the famous 17th century mansion at Balls Park, built circa 1648, and the Grade II listed Coach House and Stables, built in 1902, are currently being transformed into 40 apartments. Blending classic architecture with contemporary interiors, all enjoy access to the glorious landscaped gardens and historic parkland in which they are set. Helen Moore, Residential Managing Director of

City & Country Group - the award-winning family run business behind the project - comments: “Whilst London is arguably one of the greatest cities in the world to work in, living in London can be stressful, with a lack of green space, confined living conditions, air pollution, high crime rates and astronomically high property prices... A county like Hertfordshire is a prime location for inhabitants to enjoy a slice of historic countryside life whilst maintaining a career in the centre of London for a fraction of what they would pay in the capital.” Balls Park is situated just ten minutes from both Hertford North, from where it takes 45 minutes to get to Moorgate station, and Hertford East, from where Liverpool Street can be accessed in under 50 minutes. Prices at The Stables currently start at £237,500 for a one bedroom apartment and £365,000 for a two bedroom apartment. To find out more about purchasing an exclusive new home, the on-site sales suite is open between 10am and 5pm daily. n For further information, contact City & Country Group on 01992 551777 or visit www.balls-park.co.uk.

Unique Service, Unique People... Unique Homes Personal Property Consultancy for Buyers and Sellers of Distinctive Homes

NIQUE is a privately owned and specialist estate agency designed to provide personal property consultancy for selling or buying exclusive and exemplary homes. Robert Sargent, founder of the Acorn Estate Agency Group, recognised that the needs of the most affluent vendors and purchasers had always posed a problem to typical high street estate agents. His solution was to create Unique: a specialist team of experienced and proactive property professionals whose sole focus is to service the needs of high net worth clients and manage their multi-million pound property transactions. “Whether you own a property that needs to be managed in a way that your local high street agency can’t handle, or you are looking for a home and have

exacting requirements that need an agent who has the time and ability to search on your behalf, we are a company that can deliver.” If you are wishing to sell a Unique home the company offer a one to one marketing and consultancy service, providing a tailor-made marketing programme for each individual property. “By targeting precisely the right audience we can deliver a successful sale at the right price in a timescale that fits each client’s specific requirements,” explains Robert. Unique puts its success down to its innovative marketing techniques, constantly evolving to challenge people’s expectations of the estate agency industry. “We don’t deal in volume; we leave that to other people. We prefer to deliver a bespoke service to each client and each individual property.”

NEW HOMES

Like the homes they market and the approach they take, their staff are also unique. “Passionate, attentive and focused, our people realise that it’s the human touch that forms the basis of great working relationships. That’s why it’s the foundation we build our business on. “UNIQUE isn’t just a property consultancy, it’s a complete ethos: a way of conducting business that allows us to give our clients the options and tailored service they desire.”

DO YOU HAVE A UNIQUE PROPERTY TO SELL?

Orchard Cottage, Farnborough Park £2,850,000

From the moment you contact UNIQUE you will be assigned a personal consultant. This person will act as your point of contact throughout the selling process. Available around the clock, they will coordinate everything from the initial visit to your home to the completion of the sale. The first step is to arrange an appointment between you and your consultant. Karen Hedges, property consultant for Unique, explains that the initial appointment is designed to establish your aims, intentions and aspirations. “With precise knowledge of your requirements we can then move on to stage two: providing you with a pricing guide and recommendation.” Following this, the team at Unique will plan a marketing strategy to maximise the exposure of your property. Karen adds: “We take into account the client’s target market, then discuss and agree the most appropriate media in which to reach it.” A representative from the Unique PR Team will liaise with the consultant to advise you on the best possible route to market. An individually designed multi-page brochure will be devoted to each property. Brochures will include professional photography and stylised narrative, detailed floor plans and local information. The company are proud of the tailor-made approach they take to this part of the selling process. “As a collaboration between the consultant, the PR advisor, those in design and the client themselves, the property profile brochures are bespoke creations crafted around the unique selling points of the homes they advertise,” explains Karen. If you are seeking a property to buy then UNIQUE can also help you find it. Whatever is on your wish list, with their extensive experience and well affiliated contacts in the luxury homes market, they are perfectly positioned to source you a house to make a home. Searching on your behalf, with your exact requirements in mind, they will present a range of suitable properties for you to view at a convenient time. “Our aim at Unique is to set new standards in the sale and purchase of top-end residential property. By providing a bespoke consultancy agency tailored to our clients’ specific ambitions, it is a goal we constantly achieve.” n If you own a property that deserves the Unique approach to selling the team are waiting to help. www.uniquepropertiesuk.com
