Real estate Regulations & tax Rates As the world becomes more globalized, many investors, both corporate and private, are looking for opportunities internationally. While real estate is one of many investment options, the venture is unique in that it cannot be physically moved as most other assets can. Consequently, investors must conform to the rules and regulations of the country where the property is situated. Like other major investments,

proper planning is needed to avoid any pitfalls that may lie along the way and to minimize tax exposure.

Here we take a look at the regulations (e.g. deduction of expenses and interests) and tax rates (e.g. VAT, wealth tax and inheritance tax) found in Spain that may affect property investments.

sPain Property type Permissions required by a foreign investor

No permission is required. If the investment in property exceeds EUR 3,005,060.52, or the investor is from a designated tax haven, the investor must inform the Directorate General of Foreign Transactions

Types of tenure

Freehold and leasehold

Transfer taxes on acquisition

Freehold / Leasehold

A transfer tax of 6%-11% is payable on acquisition unless the transaction is liable to VAT.

Value Added Tax on acquisition

All property

If the transferor is a VAT taxpayer, the transfer of Spanish real estate will usually be liable to VAT (except second transfer of dwellings). Commercial properties are charged at 21%, residential properties at 10%.

Capital allowances / tax depreciation

Tax depreciation is available for resident companies at the following rates: • Industrial buildings – up to 3% (straight line).

• Non-industrial buildings – up to 2% (straight line)

Taxation of rent All property

Property type

Requirements

All property

Non-resident individuals are liable to wealth tax on Spanish real estate. There is a general exemption of EUR 700,000. The rates of tax are progressive from 0.2% to 3.03%.

A loan secured by a mortgage on the property is deductible. The tax is collected by the municipality rather than central government.

Inheritance and All property gift taxes

Inheritance tax is payable by nonresident individuals on the net value (after deduction of borrowings) of assets in Spain. Rates vary from 1.5% to 36.5% depending on the size of the inheritance, and the kinship between the parties. The tax is collected by the regional authorities rather than central government.

Other taxes on property

Local taxes during maintenance period: IBI, garbage and tax on increase in urban land value when the property is transferred.

Requirements Wealth taxes

Taxation of profit on disposal

All property

Income tax for non-resident taxpayers at the rate of 24% (19% for EU residents).

Deemed income applies to nonresident individuals where the property is not rented. Calculated at 1.1% of the cadastral value, deemed income is taxed at a rate of 24% (19% for EU residents).

Deduction of expenses

All property

Expenditure on repairs and maintenance and on necessary administration costs are deductible for both companies and individuals if rented and if resident in the EU; otherwise, taxation is on gross income.

Deduction of interest

All property

Interest paid by companies on loans to acquire real estate are deductible for corporate tax purposes with a limit of the higher of EUR 1,000,000 or 30% EBITDA. Interest paid by non-resident individuals are deductible if resident in the EU.

Non-resident companies and individuals are liable to capital gains tax for non-resident taxpayers at a rate of 19%.

A requirement of current tax legislation is that the purchaser of a property must withhold 3% of the purchase price if the seller is nonresident and pay it over to the tax authorities. The seller can reclaim the balance of the withholding tax over the final tax liability.

Tax planning tips

All property

• SOCIMI (Spanish REITs): 0% corporate tax rate (with certain conditions) • Real Estate Investments Funds: 1% corporate tax rate (with certain conditions) • Leasehold companies: 4.5% corporate tax rate (with certain conditions) To be determined based on the purpose of the investment.

MARKET REPORT

Residential property sales volume and value increased in Spain in first half of 2017 The volume and value of property sales in Spain increased substantially in the first six months of 2017 with an increase in domestic buyers, new research shows.

The number of transactions increased by 47% and the value of these sales was up by 55%, according to the latest report from Lucas Fox with sales to British buyers at 10%, slightly down compared to last year.

The firm also reports that 10% of sales were to buyers from the United States or Canada while overall 32% of all Lucas Fox buyers bought as an investment and the same proportion purchased homes as a secondary residence and 23% of buyers bought homes as a primary residence.

The average price of a property sold by Lucas Fox in the first six months of 2017 was €750,000 and the country’s top three cities, Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia recorded a successful six months.

‘Spain’s economy is the fastest growing in the Eurozone, bringing greater confidence back the property market. We have seen growing interest from property investors, who now regard Spanish real estate as offering excellent potential for capital gains and profitability through short and long term rentals. We expect that the price recovery now taking place in the cities will extend to the suburbs and other parts of the country in the forthcoming months,’ said co-founder Alexander Vaughan.

In Barcelona sales increased by 42% and the value of sales was up by 31% with 43% buying as an investment. New build properties were the most popular and by the end of 2017 are forecast to account for at least 50% of transactions.

There has been a significant demand from Northern European and US buyers for both renting and buying homes in Barcelona. Indeed rentals increased by 150% year on year with the average rent priced at €2,721.

‘Renovated apartments located in Modernista buildings situated in Eixample are as always in high demand, although other areas in the Old Town are becoming more and more sought-after,’ said Rod Jamieson of Lucas Fox Barcelona and Madrid.

48 NEW BUILDS & DEVELOPMENTS

‘Driving this demand is the development of luxury new build projects and the transformation of these areas with the opening of new trendy bars, restaurants and shops.

Barcelona is also attracting increasing numbers of wealthy international people wishing to settle in the city thanks to its exceptional quality of life. The number of transactions at the top end of the market has grown consistently during the year and prime properties in the uptown area near international schools are being snapped up,’ he explained.

The number of sales in Sitges increased by 175% with 18% of buyers from Spain and 27% from the UK. Some 55% bought a property as a secondary residence while in Maresme sales increased by 59% with 80% for a main residence.

‘Prices in Sitges have increased over recent years but are still significantly behind the peak of 2007. Where property prices in Barcelona are fast catching up with those of 10 years ago, here the pace is slower, offering good opportunities for investors who want to see healthy returns,’ said Rachel Haslam, director of Lucas Fox Sitges.

Both the volume and value of Lucas Fox Madrid sales increased in the first half of 2017, up by 30% and 170% respectively and 62% of sales were for investment properties with 46% of them to national buyers while Latin American buyers accounted for 31% of all Madrid sales According to Rod Jamieson of Lucas Fox Barcelona and Madrid increasing numbers of international buyers are choosing the Spanish capital as the best option in which to invest their money due to good potential for capital gains in the mid to long term excellent rental return.

The most sought-after locations in the city continue to be the neighbourhoods of Salamanca, Chamberí and Justicia.

‘There remains a shortage of quality properties available on the market in these key central locations of the city but we expect the availability of turnkey homes to increase during the second half of the year,’ he added.

In Valencia sales increased by 156% over the first six months of the year with 43% bought as a main home and the remainder split more or less equally between investment and second home. Some 65% of buyers were Spanish and rental transactions increased by 63% year on year with the average rental home priced at €2,423.

‘We have seen a noticeable growth in the number of national enquiries in the first half of 2017 and around 50% of our clients are international. There have also been more investors around, thanks to the city’s attractive property prices, good rental yields and, of course, Valencia’s fantastic quality of life,’ said Juan Luis Herrero of Lucas Fox Valencia.

Sales were also up in Marbella, the Costa Brava and Ibiza.

The Marbella office saw an increase of 150% with sales to Scandinavian buyers accounting for 80% while in the Costa Brava half of sales were to national buyers. However, demand from Russians and Ukranians is increasing on the Costa Brava.

In Ibiza there is a different buying pattern and all sales were bought by buyers wanting a second home with demand from German and French buyers up on Ibiza, whilst British demand was down.

‘Demand for coastal properties has remained consistent and there have also been signs of an increase in sales at the prime end of the market. The southern coastal areas of Blanes, Lloret de Mar and Tossa de Mar have also begun to see the return of interest from high end Russian, Ukranian and Kazakh clients,’ said Tom Maidment, of Lucas Fox Maresme and Costa Brava.

‘Both national and international buyers are returning in numbers to the rustic market and the demand for both rustic townhouses in prime areas of the Empordà and larger country houses throughout the Empordà and elsewhere in Girona has risen significantly. This is perhaps the standout trend in the first half of 2017,’ he added.

COSTA BLANCA & BRAVA

The Costa Blanca is a unique destination which appeals to nearly every taste.

Known as the ‘White Coast’ it offers over 200 kilometres of glorious beaches, the bright lights of Benidorm, the sporters’ paradise of Alicante and the calming mountainous pine forests and attractive bays of Torrevieja and Orihuela Costa.

The Costa Brava by contrast is a beautiful rugged coast seated at the foothills of the Pyrenees as it joins the Mediterranean. Property in the Costa Brava is among the most expensive within Spain, the most famous resort towns are Cadaqués, Roses, L’Escala, Blanes, Lloret de Mar and Tossa de Mar, which were frequented by the likes of Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dali. Strictly speaking the Costa Brava stops several kilometres north of Barcelona, but Spain’s second city tends to dominate the region, the pretty city of Girona is another historical highlight of the Costa Brava proper.

This high sales pace, coupled with the confidence shown by Banco Santander, which will finance Residencial INBISA Aravaca, allows us to begin the construction of this exclusive promotion. “ Residencial INBISA Aravaca will offer its future owners a wide range of personalization possibilities in homes. “From INBISA we offer our clients different personalization options for the different rooms of their homes, adapting them to their needs and preferences,” says Olatz González.

THE DEVELOPMENT The residential development is made up of 22 unique houses with large garden and large terraces. The houses range between two and five bedrooms (plus bedroom service), garages, storage rooms, multiple services for private use for residents (private pools, large and well-landscaped spaces, children’s play areas ...), security system , closed circuit video surveillance, pre-installation for recharging electric vehicles .

The use of high quality materials and finishes both in the building and houses have been used to meet the current market needs, and has as a maximum exponent to ensure comfort, well-being and quality both inside and outside.

The building, in addition to ensuring great brightness thanks to its south orientation, will have the energy rating A, which represents a great saving in energy consumption for the future buyer of the apartment and the overall energy demand of the building. Another differential feature is the HVAC system that will be implemented by INBISA for Residencial INBISA Aravaca, since it is a double flow with heat recovery, the most advanced in the market.

All this makes Residencial INBISA Aravaca “the best option among the current alternatives for free housing in Aravaca”, they say from INBISA.

MARKET REPORT

Second home market in Spain speeds up with research showing Murcia is the cheapest Murcia is the cheapest region for holiday home buyers in Spain with an average price of €150,000, with most preferring to buy on the coast, according to new research.

The analysis report from franchise estate agents Donpiso found that overall the average budget for buying a holiday home on Spain is €200,000 but there are considerable regional variations.

The second cheapest location is Catalonia’s Tarragona province, home to the Costa Dorada, with an average price of €160,000, then the Cost Blanca in Alicante at €200,000, and the Costa Brava at €205,000.

But those seeking to buy a second home or holiday home on the popular Costa del Sol in Malaga will pay an average of €350,000, according to the Donpiso figures.

The company also points out that the busiest time for the holiday home market in Spain are the six months leading up to the summer, after which demand cools down in the run up to Christmas.

The research also shows that more than six million Spanish households own a second home in Spain, of which 3.6 million are located in coastal areas of the Spanish mainland and islands.

The profile of the average second home owning household are couples aged between 35 and 49 years old, with children and steady income of €3,500 per month or more.

According to separate research the strong tourism market in Spain is encouraging more second home owners who want to rent to holidaymakers. The market now appeals Article provide courtesy of primewire.com

to a broader mix of buyers eager to take advantage of the tourism growth, says the report from international real estate firm Knight Frank.

It explains that over the past five years Spain’s property market has undergone a radical transformation helped by a growing economy and improved jobs outlook. ‘Higher employment, rising disposable incomes and an upturn in consumer confidence are underpinning housing demand with mortgage lending up 20.2% compared to the previous year,’ it points out.

As a result prices have largely reached their floor across most regions with a lack of new supply helping to support values and for foreign buyers, Spain still represents good value.

In 2017, two key trends merit the attention of second home buyers, says the report. Firstly, the diversification of demand. British buyers, down 28% in the year to the end of 2016, are being replaced by Dutch purchasers, up 58% during the same period, along with Belgian, Scandinavian, Latin American and Turkish buyers.

Secondly, Spain is witnessing the rise of the urban resort.

Both Mallorca’s capital, Palma, along with Barcelona, Valencia and Malaga are undergoing a renaissance as buyers seek to combine a vibrant city centre and all it offers in terms of culture, cuisine and retail with the benefits of a beachfront and marina.

The desTinaTion for conTemporary archiTecTure The Seven at La Reserva Club at Sotogrande Grand architectural ensembles have shaped the history of modern design. Yet to find a site where a select coterie of globally acclaimed studios can express themselves fully is still exceptionally rare.

La Reserva Club is one such find. Set high above the rolling Sierra Almenara hills, La Reserva Club is the most exclusive residential destination in Sotogrande, the jewel of Spain’s beautiful southern coastline. For generations, families and individuals have come to Sotogrande to experience the landscape, the privacy, the views and the lifestyle.

Many beautiful houses have been built in this spacious and secluded region which over five decades has charted the nuances of architectural progression.

Now Sotogrande can also lay claim to one of the most remarkable ensembles of 21st century residential architecture yet assembled. Sited on La Reserva’s highest peak, with direct views over La Reserva Club’s manicured fairways to the Mediterranean beyond, is a 12-hectare park that is a perfect place for architectural innovation. Here the grounds themselves have been shaped by Jean Mus, the legendary French landscape designer, renowned for his skill at translating the scale, topography, planting and colour of the Provencal and Mediterranean regions into grand private gardens.

The naturalistic landscape shaped by Mus will be complemented by seven very special houses, each representing a particular demonstration of global architectural talent. Each design is woven into the landscape, utilising Mus’s paths, planting and vistas to heighten the sense of privacy and rural seclusion.

Brazilian architect Marcio Kogan makes use of the expansive site of his design for Villa 1. ‘The veranda is the heart of our home,’ he says, ‘it offers an expansive lookout with views across the Mediterranean to Gibraltar and North Africa, and is a perfect meeting point for family and friends.’ Kogan’s studio MK27 was founded in 1980s Sao Paulo and has subsequently received global acclaim for the quality of its residential design.

At Sotogrande, Kogan has shaped a house that culminates in a light, airy pavilion, surrounded by a terrace and with opening walls to bring the outside in. This pavilion sits above generous six-bedroom accommodation, with pools both indoor and out, a spa area, gym and media room. Stone walls, traditional wooden verandas and terraces that seep into the scented landscape create a hilltop retreat of rare subtlety and grace.

Villa 2 has been designed by the London-based practice of Gumuchdjian Architects. Founded by Philip Gumuchdjian in 1998, the studio has won many awards and worked on cultural projects all around the world, including the Centre Pompidou-Metz in collaboration with the Japanese architect Shigeru Ban. At Sotogrande, Gumuchdjian and his team have created a house that fans out from the heart of the site, offering up a spread of linked pavilions for different functions. The lower level houses guest suites, a pool and gym complex, media room and staff accommodation, while the upper level is formed of four distinct structures, a dining room, living room, family room and master bedroom suite, all linked by terraces, walkways and pools that step down through the sloping site. The dwelling’s scale is therefore cleverly concealed by the landscape, creating a series of intimate but striking architectural forms. ‘It’s a platform for a perfect indoor and outdoor lifestyle,’ the architect says.

Andreas Martin-Löf began his practice in 2008. The young Swedish designer has worked extensively in Stockholm and London and brings a warm Scandinavian ambience to his interiors. Villa 3 is arranged as a cubic volume, set in an undulating meadow, with terraces and walkways and a secret garden and pools. The main house features a grand central atrium rising up from the lower level, with its indoor pool, spa, gym and media room. The ground level consists of interconnecting reception areas, with three main bedroom suites on the upper level. A separate Guest House adjoins the linear pool. The landscaping is kept as natural as possible, in stark contrast to Martin-Löf›s precisely rendered walls, deep window openings and covered terraces. This combination of bucolic splendour and architectural rigour creates a secluded family retreat, described by the architect as ‘minimal in its appearance but rich in its spatially complex interior.’

Professor Ben van Berkel›s acclaimed Amsterdam-based practice, UNStudio, has been at the forefront of avant-garde architectural design since he founded it with Caroline Bos in 1988. Villa 4 is a spectacular demonstration of UNStudio’s bold approach, with a flowing arrangement of spaces that wraps around the site. Their trademark fluidity results in roofs that swoop and intersect, and stone and concrete buttresses that appear to grow organically out of the landscape. “How you move through the house follows the path of the sun throughout the day,” Van Berkel explains. Geometry and technology are fused in a spectacular piece of sculptural modernism.

The Office of Architecture in Barcelona, OAB, is a collective studio created by the Spanish architect Carlos Ferrater in 2005. Ferrater has a distinguished portfolio of residential and hospitality architecture, creating hotels for Mandarin Oriental amongst others. OAB’s circular house is arranged around an internal courtyard with a walkway that unites the living spaces with Jean Mus’s evocative landscaping. The courtyard acts as a focal point around which the various functions and accommodations are arranged, with both internal and external views and a floorplan with generous amounts of indoor and outdoor circulation space. As with all the houses on La Reserva, the size of the plot, the contours of the land and, above all, the skilled manipulation of architectural space results in a house that is a truly private world, safe, secure and embedded within nature.

The intention behind the seven houses at La Reserva has been to preserve and enhance the landscape wherever possible, and all the architects have made the relationship between the site and the space the driving force behind their designs. Villa 6, designed by the Spanish studio of Fran Silvestre, is another demonstration of the powerful relationship between form and nature, between natural and artificial and the organic and the geometric. Silvestre’s house is a ribbon of concrete that appears to be laid across the site, folding back and forth in a rhythmic arrangement of form. Ferrater›s design is truly inside/out living, with sinuous ribbons containing bedrooms and reception areas separated by great expanses of landscape, framed and shaped by the curves and cantilevers of the building itself. As the sun moves across the sky, the views and experiences of dining or reclining on one of the many terraces constantly changes with the shifting nature of light and shadow.

The final house, Villa 7, has been designed by the awardwinning Oslo firm of Jensen and Skodvin, best known for their series of exquisite residential and hotel projects set amongst the spectacular landscapes of their native Norway. In Sotogrande, the rich materiality of their work in Northern Europe is echoed by the use of warm wood and stone and high-tech glass, with a cluster of pitched roofs forming a dramatic silhouette against the skyline.

Inside, the main living areas are set beneath these roofs on the upper level, with high ceilings and extensive glazed walls to melt the separation between terrace and reception space. On the level below, an expansive and organic, cave-like sauna complex is reached directly from the generous master suite, with an array of guest suites fanning out across the plan for separation and privacy.

Villa 7 offers a delightful environment for any family, with grounds that include climbing walls, trails and campsites.

La Reserva’s seven architects have come together to shape a residential opportunity unlike any other before it.

Seven contemporary masterpieces, set together amongst a rich, rolling landscape, represent one of the greatest concentrations of innovative domestic design and architectural talent ever assembled. These are generous family homes but also important design statements, fully integrated with their spectacular environments to provide a luxurious oasis for contemporary living.

Every one of The Seven in La Reserva Club is generous without being ostentatious, using careful planning and massing to reduce their visual impact. As a result, their generous specifications – all with indoor and outdoor pools, spas and gymnasiums and a plethora of terraces – are integrated into the design and the landscape.

Discretion and privacy are seamlessly integrated into the design. Even services, staff quarters, parking and preparation kitchens are included, but the primary public areas, be they reception rooms, master suites or generous guest houses, are arranged so as not to infringe upon Jean Mus’s landscape strategy and the sense of being embedded within an untouched landscape. Yet La Reserva Club is also part of the wider Sotogrande community, with all the facilities and amenities it provides, from golf to health clubs, awardwinning restaurants and contemporary boutiques, bars and galleries. The entire Sotogrande complex is a rare oasis of privacy on Spain›s stunning southern Mediterranean coastline, taking advantage of the beautiful climate and almost perpetual opportunity to live an outdoor life. Fishing, hunting and riding join other sports like golf, tennis, polo and water sports, while the full marina also offers sailing lessons.

The evolution of the

SMART HOME

We have come a long way since the introduction of the first engine-powered vacuum cleaner at the turn of the century and while today the release of a petrol appliance to mass market wouldn’t get anyone excited, back then this was a great achievement marking the first step towards the integration of machinery and appliances to create what is today deemed a “Smart Home.”

New technology is everywhere. Car manufacturers are racing to develop self-driving cars, coffee retailers have introduced apps so we can order our morning coffee before we even enter the shop and retailers have visions of offering home delivery by drone in the not-too-distant future. On the consumer front, most people are readily embracing new technologies that help make their busy lives as simple as possible, so surely adapting this into the modern home should be easy? Yes and no. When it comes to the walls in which we live, smart home technology is still a work-in-progress. On one hand you have the tech-savvy individuals who know what they are doing and have integrated smart technology into their lives with minimal fuss. On the other, you have the technophobe who can’t even work a fax machine and is scared to venture down a route that involves computers and electronics. In addition a recent study undertaken

by The Demand Institute found that most consumers aren’t typically interested in technology just for the sake of technology.

So what iS a “Smart home?”

Well first and foremost – it is just a regular house, but within it the electrical appliances and equipment used to run a home today have been hooked up to a computer system, meaning they can be controlled from a simple device either from the comfort of an armchair or from your mobile phone while riding the tube home after work.

FeatureS oF a Smart home The typical smart home automation would feature seamlessly integrated security systems, refrigerators, televisions, dishwashers, and other electronics and appliances, centrally and/or remotely controlled from a single device. As more devices become connected to wireless technologies the more features the smart home will include. Some of the most common, centrally-

controlled, technologies in today’s smart home automation include: n Automated door locks and security systems; n Temperature and ventilation controls; n Energy consumption monitoring devices; n Entertainment systems; n Smart lighting systems; n Smart appliances; n Vehicle detection systems; n Plant and pet monitoring systems.

Other typical features of the smart home automation include room-to-room video and audio communication; and notifications sent by the home to a user’s smartphone or other device in case of a particular occurrence (a breakin for example).

“Boldly go forward” what’S the Point?

Convenience, everything in the home can be maintained with just a remote control, laptop or mobile phone or it can be programmed which creates a lot of practical benefits. Things like turning the lights on when you walk into a room and when you leave turning them off again, or when you get to your front door unlocking it because it knows it is you, or how about monitoring when your kids get home from school and sending you a text or email.

For those dealing with a sick family member a Smart Home provides serious benefits for family caregivers. By integrating home healthcare equipment, such as monitoring and diagnostic tools, smart homes could simplify the caregiving process for the hundreds of millions of adults worldwide who care for an elderly, ailing, or infirm parent or relative.

For example, a smart home might allow you to monitor the movements of a relative suffering from dementia.

While this may sound like something from Star Trek it is in fact a reality and the speed at which technology is changing it seems it just the start.

GrowinG market Smart Home technology is still a niche market, despite the continuous development over the past 10 and more years, it is forecast that by 2020 40% of the population will have implemented smart technology within their home which in part will be driven, by the rising tablet market as Smart home enthusiasts have increasingly found the tablet as an effective remote control to manage all of the systems. Additional with a decrease in the costs of smart technologies; increased government regulation regarding energy consumption and increased energy costs Smart technology will be the only way to “Boldly go forward”.

MARKET REPORT

Foreign investors are eyeing bargain property in UK due to plunge in Sterling

Russian and South African investors are cashing in when buying UK property with an effective discount of 21% due to currency changes since the Brexit vote, new research suggests.

Buyers from India and China are also reaping significant benefits despite house price growth of 6.23% since the referendum on the UK leaving the European Union in June 2016, according to the research from house building investment platform Homegrown.

With the value of Sterling having plummeted, only Turkey and Argentina out of the G20 countries are effectively paying more for property in the UK and overall millions of foreign investors face a dramatically better deal than a year ago.

Detailed analysis of the wealthiest G20 nations shows Russian and South African investors are getting the most money off with a 21% reduction on prices compared with 15 months ago and it means they can pick up a house that would have cost £1 million then for the equivalent of £841,000 in real terms today.

Brazil ranks third with a 17% discount despite emerging from the longest recession in the country’s history at the end of 2016.

In recent years the consensus has been that China has been the global powerhouse fuelling demand for UK property.

Investors there are enjoying a 13% discount and the country appears mid-table with a slightly lower discount than buyers

from Australia, India, Canada, Mexico and the EU. Investors from India can pick up a house that would have sold for £1 million during the referendum for £898,656 with a 15% discount while the EU itself now benefits from a 16% discount on Sterling thanks to the significant shift in the Pound against the Euro in the wake of the vote.

The report suggests that Turkey, perhaps due to political unrest, and Argentina, which exited recession in late 2016, are in the unique position among the G20 states of having to pay out more since the vote.

‘This just goes to show the incredible value that the UK property market still represents to armies of investors around the globe. Growth in the housing market has slowed over the last year but it’s still growing on an annual basis and foreign demand is bound to be playing its part,’ said Anthony Rushworth, founder of Homegrown.

‘Demand for housing has showed no sign of abating in Britain while many still struggle to get on the housing ladder, so it’s vital the country addresses its chronic shortage of housing stock. Home owners have a vested interest in higher prices but we have to do the right thing by younger generations and keep building,’ he added.

wardian london

In the midst of the skyscrapers and waterways of Canary Wharf, Wardian London offers an oasis of calm & nature. Overlooking the South Dock with stunning views of the Canary Wharf and the City, the botanically-inspired Wardian London offers an extensive private garden in the sky.

Designed by Glenn Howells Architects, Wardian London, the development comprises of two iconic apartment towers with restaurants, curated shops and stunning facilities contained within.

Rising to 50 and 55 stories the vision is to create a new address like no other, a haven of peace and beauty in the heart of London combining space and tranquillity within a prime central location.

The result is a luxury oasis in the heart of Canary Wharf that sets the benchmark for future residential developments in the capital

138 NEW BUILDS & DEVELOPMENTS

Wardian London takes inspiration from the Wardian case, the 19th Century creation of Dr Nathaniel Bagshaw Ward, which revolutionised the transportation of exotic plants across the globe. This botanical inspiration is reflected throughout the development throughout communal spaces, from the atrium to private outdoor swimming pool which will feature over 100 different species of exotic plants. Similarly, each apartment is presented with a sky garden, not just a balcony but an innovative flat-pack garden that blur the boundaries between the in, and outdoor living.

Each of theresidential apartments comes complete with floor to ceiling windows to maximise sight-lines and illuminate the apartment in the stunning Docklands light, and combine contemporary elegance with subtle, signature Wardian touches. Kitchen cabinets incorporate glass cases and the materials used throughout are of natural origin such as marble, wood and glass for a organic stunning look.

Additionally each resident of Wardian London will become a member of The Wardian Club, allowing access to exclusive facilities including a 25m open-air swimming pool, gym, cinema, two restaurants and a vibrant rooftop observatory, a 24 hour concierge service is also provided.

The development is also defined by its connectivity. Just a three-minute walk from Cabot Square, Wardian boasts superior transport links to destinations across the capital and London City Airport provides a convenient route to the continent and beyond. The introduction of Crossrail in 2018 will improve connectivity further, dramatically cutting travel times and linking Canary Wharf to London’s other major business hotspots.

Astounding £18,000 difference between highest and lowest home prices per square meter The highest property price per square metre in England and Wales is in London and the lowest in Wales with a clear North/South divide, according to official figures.

In London the average cost per square meter of both houses and flats is over £6,500 and between 2004 and 2016, price per area in London nearly doubled, the data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) shows.

‘It is the affordability that has seen many pockets of the nation’s property market remain buoyant despite uncertainty slowing growth in other areas such as London,’ he added.

Over the same time the price per square meter increase by around 55% in the East of England and the South East while there was a small increase in the floor space of properties purchased over this period of 2.7% increase for England and Wales.

Shaun Church, director of mortgage broker Private Finance, also found the difference astounding. ‘London, as you might expect, has seen the largest increase, with an extraordinary 98% rise in house price per square metre in the 12 years to 2016. Price per square metre in the South East has grown at almost half that rate, but still outpaced price growth in the North East at a rate of more two to one,’ he pointed out.

Overall, the London borough of Kensington and Chelsea is the most expensive area to buy a house, with an average price of £19,400 per square metre, around eight times the England and Wales average.

At the lower end the price per square meter in Blaenau Gwent in Wales is just £777, a third of the England and Wales average and less than 5% of the prices in Kensington and Chelsea, a difference of over £18,000 per square meter.

The disparity in price between each end of the market is quite astounding, according to Russell Quirk, chief executive of eMoov. ‘Of course, it is no surprise that an over-inflated London market leads the way in terms of highest price, despite a slowdown in price growth in recent times and while £2,305 a square metre is a high price to pay to get on the housing ladder, but this research also shows that across England and Wales there are many far more affordable options,’ he said.

‘The extremes of the property market are laid bare when you look at house prices at a local level, with the price per square metre in Kensington and Chelsea roughly 25 times that in Blaeneau and Gwent in South Wales. However, this data doesn’t account for the recent slump in house prices we have seen in some areas of central London, which suggests house prices may be approaching a ceiling in the capital,’ he explained.

‘Home buyers face difficult choices as they must weigh up location and property size. For the majority who look to buy with a mortgage, they must fall within a maximum loan to income ratio, which means large incomes are required to successfully take out a mortgage in costly areas like London,’ he added.

Pricing and supply are biggest obstacle to real estate investment in UK, not Brexit Germany and Spain could overtake UK as preferred real estate investment markets for 2018 due to pricing and supply issues rather than Brexit, a new survey suggests.

The poll of 148 leading real estate investors representing organisations with an excess of £300 billion of real estate assets under management conducted by Knight Frank shows that based on a three to five year hold some 28.5% of investors identified Germany as their preferred investment market in 2018, up from 27% in 2017.

sector as the most compelling, followed by specialist assets such as automotive, student accommodation and healthcare at 28%. Just 15% of respondents will prioritise office assets in 2018, and only 2% retail. Hotels, widely seen as a defensive asset class, was only identified by 3% as the asset class of choice for the next 12 months.

This was followed by Spain, identified by 20%, despite the current political instability caused by the referendum on Catalonian independence. Just 12% of investors, most of whom are London based, identified the UK as their preferred investment market, ahead of France at 9%.

‘In this low yield environment, demand for commercial real estate assets shows little sign of abating. Indeed, investor sentiment suggests we could see transaction volumes in 2018 exceed the €220 billion recorded this year,’ said Chris Bell, managing director for Europe, at Knight Frank.

The survey indicates that political uncertainty caused by the UK’s exit from the European Union is not the primary concern for investors. Just 16% of those surveyed identified continued geo-political uncertainty as their primary challenge.

‘It is also encouraging that European investors are divorcing politics from the underlying economic and market fundamentals, which remain good, when setting their strategies for 2018. In Spain, for example, investors recognise that uncertainty around Catalonia independence risks masking a resurgent Spanish economy, and growing demand for office and industrial space in particular,’ he pointed out.

It found that over 66% believe pricing and lack of available stock to be the biggest obstacle to placing capital in European real estate during 2018 and an additional 11% cited competition from overseas investors as the main challenge they will encounter in the next 12 months.

While investors were cautious on the outlook for the UK in 2018 some 58% stated that investor demand for commercial real estate across Europe would be stronger in 2018 than in 2017.

Over half, 51%, identified the industrial and distribution

‘In the UK the picture is more complex still. Certainly, Brexit has changed the current and future dynamic of the UK investment market, but the overriding concern for investors is pricing, driven by competition from private and foreign buyers seeking a currency arbitrage. As a result, we expect to see investors looking beyond London to regional cities to find value,’ he concluded.

Germany the powerhouse of Europe has seen residential prices increase by over 23% over the past five years with Estonia, Ireland, Luxembourg, Austria and Portugal amongst the countries that have experienced the highest house price gains with Italy showing signs of stagnation following uncertainties over its economic and political outlook.

PARIS 9 CONFIDENCE

In the heart of romantic Paris but nestled in a quiet area away from the crowds, this unique brand new development of five high-end apartments for sale represents a real haven of peace within the hustle and bustle of the 9th arrondissement.

The spacious and original properties have been tailor made to perfectly reflect the contemporary architecture.

Entirely glass fronted on its south façade, the project’s inside space is bathed in light. With interiors ranging from 25 to 198 sqm, the properties all boast heated and cooling floor, high-end finishes and double glazing.

Ideally located a few steps away from metro stops Blanche, Pigalle and Place de Clichy (metro lines 2, 12 and 13), this brand new project is part of the 9th arrondissement of the capital, the bohemian Paris. On the right bank of the Seine and just under Montmartre, this dynamic district is the heart of the Parisian cultural and artistic life.

A privileged spot for the romantics in the 19th century, this neighbourhood is home to the Palais Garnier and the Faubourg Montmartre district but also to numerous theatres, music halls, cinemas, coffee shops and bistros. Close to the Boulevard de Clichy, the area also enjoys an economic dynamism.

This village-like district is an up-andcoming area with prestigious restaurants opening up. Boasting a huge range of transport links, property prices in the 9th arrondissement, now in the center of Paris, have impressively inflated to the highest in the capital, up to over 10%.

The most exclusive apartments in this neighbourhood are now as expensive as those in the heart of the city and prices are still likely to increase, which ensures a great capital gain for this type of newbuild development, highly prized and sought after by investors.

THE 9TH ARRONDISSEMENT On the right bank of the Seine River resides the 9th arrondissement, one of Paris’ smallest districts. The quarter used to be known as the centre of Parisian high society. As a result, the area boasts beautiful buildings and elegant architecture still to be enjoyed today.

It is an important arts and culture hub. The Palais Garnier hosts some of Paris’s most important operas and ballets and the Quartier Faubourg Montmartre is a very lively quarter that hosts some great festivals and cultural events.

The Trévise Theatre and the Théâtre des Nouveautés are two small theatres that curate interesting new plays for Parisian theatre goers. They are two great examples of the cultural benefits the 9th arrondissement offers to Paris. During the week and especially on the weekends, the cafés and bistros are filled with crowds elegantly dressed for a night at the theatre.

The other two administrative quarters of the 9th, Quartier de Rochechouart and de Saint-Georges, are quieter areas that offer less artistic opportunities but are filled with beautiful buildings. Staying true to the city’s famed lifestyle, the two quarters have many restaurants and bistros that offer a classic Parisian flair.

MARKET REPORT

Ski resorts with all year round facilities set to be more popular with buyers

Ski resorts that are investing heavily in their facilities to establish themselves as a dual season destination are likely to get more demand from buyers and visitors, new research suggests.

It is not all about ski facilities with non-skiers now making up 25% of Alpine visitors and sellers and developers need to adapt to new trends, according to the latest analysis of the ski property market by international real estate firm Knight Frank.

Those that are offering a range of year round activities such as Chamonix, Gstadd and Courchevel 1650 are outperforming the wider Alps market, the report shows. Water parks, spas and mountain bike trails are helping to broaden their appeal.

The report says that buyers increasingly fall into two camps; those seeking a dual season resort to maximise year round rentals and those targeting high altitude resorts offering reliable winter snowfall.

Chamonix has overtaken Val d’Isère and Gstaad this year to take the top spot in the annual price growth rankings. The resort, which is widely-regarded as the most well equipped year round resort in the Alps, has now seen prime prices increase by almost 5% for two consecutive years.

Overall, the index, which tracks prices across 16 ski resorts, declined by 1.8% in 2017 year on year. However, French resorts saw prices rise by 1% on average, whilst their Swiss neighbours recorded a 5% dip over the 12 month period.

Val d’Isère and Gstaad occupy second and third position this year, recording annual price growth of 2.5% and 1.8% respectively. At an altitude of 1,850 meters Val d’Isère offers one of the longest seasons due to its reliable snow cover.

Price growth in Gstaad, last year’s highest performer, remains in positive territory with a lack of supply supporting prices. The resort is also popular with those seeking permanent residency due to the quality of its international schools, the report explains.

The majority of the Swiss resorts sit towards the foot of the index as the strength of the Swiss Franc and restrictions on foreign buyers have prompted some hesitancy on the part of buyers. This, combined with a degree of intransigence on the part of vendors has slowed sales and also reduced budgets meaning the market below CHF2 million is the most active.

In St Moritz, the market has proved mixed with the area close to Suvretta House and the centre

of the resort seeing strong growth over the last 12 months but other, more peripheral areas have seen activity and prices decline.

Villars’ annual decline of 5% comes despite strong investment in the resort’s infrastructure as well as its ski and non-ski amenities but Knight Frank predicts that this will translate into price growth in the coming two to three years.

Tucked within the Canton of Valais, the resort of Crans Montana saw prices slip 15% in the year to June 2017 as older stock accounted for a large proportion of the inventory and vendors displayed a greater willingness to negotiate on price.

The Three Valley resorts of Courchevel and Méribel recorded similar levels of growth of around 1% this year, marginally lower than last year but a weak pound, Brexit and the French election saw the French property market as a whole pause for breath in the first half of 2017.

‘Unless resorts adapt and deliver what the new generation of skiers want, they will see tourist numbers decline. For those seeking to buy a ski home, it’s logical that they will target those resorts who keep ahead of the curve in an effort to maximise rental bookings and as a result improve yields,’ the report points out.

‘Investment should also boost the resort’s permanent population, which in turn will lead to increased services and amenities in the form of schools, healthcare, transport etc. Such provisions as evident in Chamonix, now home to over 13,000 residents, further cement the town’s reputation as a dual season resort,’ it adds.

It is a very exciting time to be investing in the Alps, according to Roddy Aris of Knight Frank International. ‘There are of course challenges ahead such as the long term implications of Brexit and the erratic winter seasons but the draw of the mountains has never been stronger,’ he said.

‘Resorts are having to evolve and adapt to meet the demands of today’s buyers. Huge investments have been pledged across the Alps from artificial snow making facilities to adapting and evolving activities for the summer and family market. The key to a good purchase is that the property is purchased at the correct market value and the asset proves highly rentable,’ he added.

Confidence in house price growth rises in Europe but many feel homes are too expensive Confidence in European house prices is rising, but the temptation to over stretch financially is putting consumer finances under pressure, according to the latest research.

Overall 59% of people in Europe expect house prices to rise in the next 12 months but 61% believe that housing is too expensive and one in five say they struggle with the cost, the sixth annual ING International Survey Homes and Mortgages 2017 reveals.

It is the first time in two years that confidence in house prices has increased and this was led by a rise of 20% to 72% in Romania, while 66% in Spain are confident about future values, a rise of 14% and 65% in the Czech Republic.

On the other hand, expectations in the UK have plummeted. The proportion of people who believe house prices will rise over the next 12 months is down by 13% since 2016 from 57% to 44%.

However, with prices continuing to rise, the study reveals a number of consumers could be lured into a false sense of security and are overstretching their finances as a result. Some 41% report that their current home was over or at the top of their budget, while 23% of all respondents in Europe said that their running costs are higher than they anticipated, and 20% find it difficult to manage their housing payments.

The impact could be leaving many people with limited disposable income, affecting the amount they are able to save and put towards other expenses, the report says and this is supported by findings from the ING International Survey Savings 2017 released earlier this year which found that 29% of people in Europe have no savings at all.

In the current study when consumers were asked whether their country is on the right track in terms of housing, just 29% of people in Europe agreed while 45% disagreed.

‘People across Europe are finding housing expensive.

Many have paid at the top of or even above their budget for their home, and some have higher than expected running costs too. The result is many are feeling the pinch and finding it difficult to pay their rent or mortgage each month,’ said ING behavioural scientist Nathalie Spencer.

‘When housing is expensive people have less available for saving or investment, which may leave them vulnerable if faced with unexpected income or expenditure shocks. Planning and sticking to a budget is crucial when buying and renting a home and will help ease pressure on the purse strings in the long term,’ she added.

The USA offers astonishing investment potential with the current housing market continuing to show steady growth despite high prices and rising mortgage rates.

MARKET REPORT

Toronto leads annual house price growth in key global cities, Aberdeen is bottom

Global urban house price growth is slowing for the first time since the start of 2016 with a decline being seen in Chinese cities while Toronto leads the annual rankings.

Over the index from international real estate agents Knight Frank increased by 6.1% in the 12 months to June 2017, down from 6.9% in the previous quarter and the number of cities registering annual price growth above 20%fell from 12 to nine.

Chinese cities are less dominant at the top of the rankings with just three, Wuxi, Zhengzhou and Changsha, in the top 10 compared to seven in the previous index.

However, the index report points out that this is a deceleration rather than a sudden slump. Prices are still rising on a year on year basis in all 20 of the Chinese cities tracked within the index. Lower tier cities are now outpacing cities such as Shanghai and Beijing, which have seen the most stringent cooling measures.

Toronto leads the rankings this quarter with prices ending the year to June 2017 some 29% higher. But the report points out that following the introduction of a new tax on foreign buyers, Toronto may follow Vancouver’s path and see price growth moderate in the coming months.

Indeed, the Knight Frank index covers the period to June 2017 but the latest data from the Bank of Canada shows Toronto registered a decline in prices in August, the first since January 2016.

The index also shows that long term frontrunners such as Hong Kong, Reykjavik, Wellington and Budapest are holding firm but this quarter some new contenders have risen up the rankings, most notably some key Indian cities. A year Article provide courtesy of primewire.com

ago, the 10 Indian cities tracked by the index averaged 3% annual price growth, today this figure has jumped to 12%.

Cities in Russia, CIS, Latin America and Africa are the weakest performing locations with house price growth is accelerating fastest in cities located within emerging markets. Cities in the BRIC nations averaged 7.5% annual growth to June 2017 compared with cities in the European Union, which averaged 4.7% over the same period.

The number of cities registering declining house prices year in year remains static at 27 but European cities are increasingly seen at the bottom of the table, particularly those in the southern European economies such as Greece, Cyprus and Italy.

Bottom of the 150 cities covered by the index is Aberdeen in Scotland with an annual price fall of 9.5% while Napoli comes in at 144 with a fall of 4.2%, Rome at 142 with a decline of 3.6% and Milan at 135 with a fall of 1.3%.

Among the top runners are Hong Kong in sixth with annual growth of 21.5%, Wellington in New Zealand at with growth of 18.1%, Sydney and Melbourne joint 22nd with growth of 13.8% and Dublin at 36 with a rise of 11.1%.

An analysis by world region highlights Asia’s outperformance with prices rising by 10.9% on average across the region. At the other end of the rankings, Africa stands out as the only world region to see average urban house prices decline year on year.

Therefore it was simply defined as an “artifact” and also titled as “an innovative biochemical design” because the installation consisted of numerous tubes and pipes which filtered 3,000 gallons of water within four days eliminating particles and increasing the oxygen levels. A moveable structure was designed to address the worrying estimates made by the UN that by 2025 two thirds of the world population would not have enough drinking water.

Besides, through its advanced biochemical system the core of the pavilion was glowing every time the water became pure, lighting courtyard and providing a fascinating background to live performances and music concerts.

Container Living

BEAT BOX Innovation architecture and forward thinking has changed the way we use the humble shipping container, and in an effort to create more sustainable architecture, recycling material has become increasingly popular with shipping containers at the forefront of the sustainable revolution.

Eco friendly with a raw industrial appeal a shipping container can be effortlessly transformed into an affordable contemporary housing solution and this is precisely what Arkitema Architects have achieved with Beat Box. Located in what was previously an industrial neighbour home to a concrete factory a new urban development called Musicon in Roskilde looks set to become the new cultural quarter.

As part of this new development Arkitema Architects for Container Living, have proposed BeatBox a housing solution of 30 apartments, created with shipping containers set within steel frames. 48 containers will be used to create these 30 apartments which will vary in size from 30, 60 to 90 m2. Additionally the steel framing supporting the containers makes it possible to easily move the containers is required to a new location in a sustainable way that will save both resources and time.

Aimed at young professionals the industrial vibe of the development will remain in keeping with its industrial aesthetic with the colourful yet rugged look of the containers which will be assembled in two-by-two blocks and insulated from the inside, so that the rustic appearance is maintained. The containers will then be accommodated with large windows and balconies.

With each Benjumea Arquitectos project, we are concerned with ideas of sustainability through the use of energy harnessing technology, the choice of materials in the build, and the life-use of the building. 21st Century architecture has evolved rapidly and today architects needs to ensure they are aware of not just keeping up with the latest designs but also be aware of the environmental impact on the building project and this is what we do at Benjumea Arquitectos. When designing a project we take everything into consideration the; orientation, gradient of the land, climate and surrounding properties & of course functionality. Designing buildings that future generations will enjoy is key to our thinking” he says.

The strength of their commitment to this ethos is why Benjumea Arquitectos has been able to weather the tough years felt throughout the property sector “quality will always shine through” says Antonio, “and now in these exciting times we aim to continue pushing the case for building designs that improve the quality of our environment, and people’s lives”.

NATURAL LIGHT Creating space

NATURAL LIGHT

Lighting is one of the most overlooked and yet important elements of good interior design.

After all, there is little point in creating luxurious surroundings if you cannot then appreciate them because of insufficient lighting. Interior lighting is provided in two methods natural and artificial and getting the balance right between these two is essential.

Everybody wishes they had more natural light within the home because the biggest advantage is that it can make your home seem more bright and airy. Natural light promotes a feeling of openness providing a much more inviting living environment.

Another advantage is that natural light complements a wide range of colour schemes, and works fantastically with artificial help in the form of uplighters and sconces.

214 NEW BUILDS & DEVELOPMENTS

Open plan designs help to spread natural light more evenly across various zones. When working with an open-plan design try to arrange your furniture and other household items in a way that does not block out any sunlight.

Simple tricks such as the positioning of a window or adding mirrors or other accessories can also boost and help to bring more light into your design scheme.

Utilising natural light into every room type is essential, not only because it helps to breathe more life into dull rooms, but because it also provides many health benefits. Bright and airy rooms improve your mood and make your home feel much more welcoming.

The advantages of natural light are it’s free and can be incorporated into many different styles, from minimalist schemes to vintage designs.

If your home is on the small side, then clever use of natural lighting will help to make it feel much more spacious. Simple tricks such as combining natural light with a bright colour scheme – for example, white or other neutral colours will help to make your rooms look bright, airy, and spacious, no matter what size the room is. You may also want to choose a layout that will provide more natural light, such as an open plan design.

NATURAL LIGHT

Playing tricks on the mind

Light can alter the appearance of a room without physically changing it simply because it directs our view, influences perception and draws our attention to specific details. Light is a wonderful tool in interior design as it can be used to divide and interpret rooms in order to emphasise areas or establish continuity between the interior and exterior.

When working with light think about where each of your windows face in relation to the sunlight, as each direction has a different amount of light shining through.

North facing rooms – can often look cold and have a flattening quality on a space, but it gives the ‘truest’ light.

Warmer colours therefore suit rooms like this well as well as soft-coloured curtains which help to diffuse light and create an atmosphere.

South facing rooms – get the most

216 NEW BUILDS & DEVELOPMENTS

light and provide the best area to open out space and create depth. Neutral colours such as cream work very well however white can often make the light bounce and seem overwhelming.

East facing rooms – are the ‘morning rooms’ for light and therefore the volume of light dips at the sun sets so bear this mind when choosing what to use the space for.

West facing rooms – They usually get the most heat due to their positioning.

West facing rooms are dark in the morning however brighten as the sun moves west.

If you have areas within a room that doesn’t receive enough light the trick interior designers use is to use mirrors which bounces light around a room – position mirrors so they reflect light from a window and into a dark corner or area of a room which will help boost the illusion of depth, space and light.
