Making the most of home storage
Open House at Victorian New St. home
Henry Adams focus on rural homes

Newly built bungalow West Horsham: £425,000 Different stages of life bring different needs in our choice of home, based not only our preferred lifestyle, but considerations such as convenience, a safe environment, ease of maintenance and saving on unnecessary costs. The current economic situation has highlighted for many the cost of maintaining their home and gardens, and the increasing price of fuel, parking for work or shopping, and running their vehicles. With parking in and around Horsham town centre at a premium, the rare opportunity of a newly built detached bungalow in a lovely private plot with ample parking and car barn on the popular west side of Horsham and easily accessible to Horsham town centre and station is an option which may solve some of these problems. Recently constructed to a high specification by local company, Churchlands Homes, who have been building individual quality homes in the Horsham area for the past twelve years, Farmlea is likely to tick all the right boxes if you’re looking for a special home that offers easy maintenance, stylish design and lovely gardens in a secluded yet convenient setting. Enjoying the benefits of an established residential area with neigh-
bours close enough to provide security but set in a secluded position, the bungalow has been extremely well
designed and features very spacious accommodation. There is a generous and welcoming entrance hall, fabulous kitchen and breakfast/dining room fitted with light Zebrano style cabinets by Johnson & Johnson under granite work tops and with quality integrated appliances. A large double aspect south and west facing living room has doors leading out to the terrace and overlooks the lovely gardens. The master bedroom also enjoys views over the
garden with doors leading out. The master bedroom en-suite and the main bathroom are fitted with be-
spoke Porcelanosa contemporary sanitary ware, and are fully tiled with Porcelanosa designer tiles. Other features include gas central heating, a 10 year NHBC buildmark warranty, an alarm system and security features to the front door and windows, a pressurised hot water system, full double glazing and a heat recovery system, as well as new carpets and ceramic floor tiling. This is a particularly delightful and secluded plot which enjoys a south and westerly aspect, and has been professionally landscaped to provide a very private and established setting rare to find within easy reach of Horsham town centre. The property is approached over a gravel driveway leading to a generous parking area and an oak framed car barn. Due to the size and spacious layout of the bungalow, early interest has not only been from those seeking to downsize from larger properties in less accessible locations but also those with older children seeking the independence of being able to walk without reliance on the parental taxi service and couples wanting access to Horsham and the station for work without parking worries and costs. The property is available for immediate occupation through Courtney Green on 252222.

In an editorial of the front page of the property section of The Resident (25th June 2010) we published details of a detached cottage in West Grinstead for sale, under the headline ‘Superb Sussex Stud’. The Resident has been asked to clarify that, although the property offered for sale through Guy Leonard and Company forms part of the Old Sussex Stud, the cottage is no longer part of the Sussex Stud, which is under separate ownership. We are happy to clarify that the Sussex Stud is not for sale. The property for sale was originally converted from the water tower and is offered at a guide price of £439,950. For further details contact Guy Leonard & Company on 01403 248222.
Property prices sneak up by 3%
Property prices in the UK rose during the first half of this year, it has been claimed. According to new figures from Nationwide, the market went up by 3% over the six-month period. Currently, the typical price of a residence stands at £170,111, the firm suggested. Responding to the findings, Martin Gahbauer, Nationwide's chief economist, said: "The month of June presented a picture of broad stability for the housing market. The price of a typical UK property rose by a seasonally adjusted 0.1% month-on-month." However, the annual rate of inflation should continue to drift lower, he added. In a bid to boost the sector, the new government announced the abolition of HIPs when it took power.

The country specialists Henry Adams offers a wide range of rural homes Nothing could be more idyllic than a country cottage garden on a summer’s day. For anyone looking to dip their toe in the water of country life, Henry Adams specialise in offering a wide range of rural properties for rental. “Landlords who choose to place their properties with us can have confidence in our depth of experience in handling letting countryside homes, from 1960s family houses to pretty cottages and some with quirky character,” said Richard Town, manager of their Horsham Lettings office who also lets properties for the National Trust locally. Henry Adams tend to offer for let the slightly more rural homes alongside town centre properties, which mirrors their sales office portfolio. “Many of our properties are near farms and villages,” commented Richard, “so we get quite a few enquiries from families moving out of London who would like their children to enjoy a country upbringing, but don’t want to be too far from a 24hour Tesco or a station.” Renting a country home gives the opportunity to experience country style living without the long term commitment to buy. It also enable
Will 90% mortgage help out the first timers? Henry Adams has a number of properties on the market tenants to pinpoint the villages they prefer, but generally Henry Adams find that many of their tenants choose to extend their letting arrangements as they settle in to country life. Henry Adams offer a range of management services to suit all landlords, whether letting their first property or a portfolio. “We have strong demand for all types of homes in both town and country, so anyone wishing to discuss
letting their property is welcome to get in touch” said Richard. “We have a very experienced team who take the time to discover prospective landlord’s requirements and to provide professional advice tailored to the individual.” For further information, please contact Henry Adams letting office in Carfax, Horsham, on 01403 282500 or www.henryadams.co.uk
First-time buyers may find it easier to get onto the property market after Yorkshire Building Society announced its decision to lend 90 per cent of property value. The two-year fixed-rate option at 5.99 per cent will have a number of incentives for those looking to attain a home, including £500 cash back and no product fee. Tom Girling, mortgage product manager at the organisation, noted the move was an attempt to balance
the needs of the sector and consumers. We are now lending to people with smaller deposits and waiving many of the fees. This can save around £2,500 which can make such a difference," he added. Individuals who chose to use the deal will also get 12 months free building and contents insurance. Simon Rubinsohn, chief economist at the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, recently said supply is starting to outstrip demand, which may see a reduction in house prices.

CGT rise won’t dampen appeal of buy-to-let
Paul Weller Leaders Local letting specialists Leaders are confident that buy-tolet will remain a popular investment option despite the rise in the rate of Capital Gains Tax (CGT) to 28% for higher-rate tax payers. The increase, which does not affect taxpayers paying lower rate tax (20% or less), was not as sharp as many had anticipated, and came into effect from midnight June 22 2010. The annual exempt amount
for CGT remains at £10,100 and is index linked for future tax years. Says Leaders’ managing director Paul Weller: “This increase to 28% still sees CGT rates remaining lower than three years ago, when they were up to 40%, before the 18% rate was introduced by Labour. “We do not believe this increase will dampen the appeal of buy-to-let as an investment. Buy-to-let’s potential to provide an annual rental yield, as well as to provide capital gains in the long-term, has long appealed to a wide range of investors and will continue to appeal as an enduring asset class.” Leaders point out that, with rents now rising as they are because of high demand, the income earned through property - rental yields of 6% are now achievable - is very appealing compared with the derisory interest rates currently available of around just 1%. “Stocks and shares are no more enticing,” says Mr Weller.
“You only have to look at what is happening to BP, a blue-chip British company whose share price has almost halved over the last 6 weeks, and who may consider suspending dividend payments. Property values tend to rise over the long-term making bricks and mortar a more solid investment.” Leaders are reporting rising rental demand in the 45 towns and cities in which they operate across the South. Good quality rented accommodation is in short supply, and with more properties for sale following the abolition of HIPS, there is now plenty of choice for landlords to increase their portfolios. At the same time buy-to-let lenders are at last beginning to offer more and better buy-to-let mortgage deals, including the welcomed introduction of some higher loan-to-value products. Says Mr Weller: “The Private Rented Sector currently accommodates 13% of UK households and needs more investment if it is to continue to provide a good
choice of homes to the millions of people who either choose to rent, or rent because they are unable to buy “Done with the right advice and guidance, buying to let is an excellent long-term investment. But it must be done with the help of a qualified and experienced specialist such as ourselves. Unfortunately, despite the raft of legislation governing residential lettings, letting agents themselves remain unregulated. “This means anyone can set up a letting agent, with no knowledge or understanding of the market and legislation which applies to it. “Landlords must take care when choosing a letting agent, and be aware of the importance of the role that the agent plays in the success, or otherwise, of their investment.” For advice you can trust on renting or letting in Horsham, please contact Leaders on 01403 217585 or email horsham@leaders.co.uk
Katrina Smith Interior Design Specialist I am always banging on about storage in these articles, and people are always moaning they don't have enough. So why don't we tackle these issues. Believe me if you tackle them now, whether with the help of a professional designer or on your own, it will give an immediate sense of relief. To create a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere in any living space you will need to have your storage blend in with existing pieces. Trunks, whether antique or modern that also act as a lamp tables or occasional tables, also make great homes for the children's toys or books or a whole host of clutter that we just
26 - 27 West Street Horsham West Sussex
can't bear to be parted from! Rattan baskets lined up on shelves look great and will hide all sorts of things. If you don't have enough room left on your shelves, then lined up on the floor will look just as good. I love fabric covered ottomans. They have a multitude of uses from filing cabinets, to tables, to seating and at the same time house your clutter. A really good investment! Space is important in any property so use all the nooks and crannies in your home – add fitted cupboards or shelving, right up to the ceiling if necessary and then have fronts put on that will match the existing style of your home. If you don't want them to stand out, then paint them the same colour as your walls. I find that painting the wood in an eggshell will give a beautiful matt finish, whilst blending with the walls.
