Increasing competition

Paul Watts from Mortgage Solutions Limited comments on the decision to retain the Bank Base rate to 0.5% for the 12th consecutive month

We have now seen the Bank Base Rate stay at the low level of half of one percent (0.5%) for the 12th consecutive month. During February it was reported that the UK economy had actually grown and although this is positive news, it still suggests that the wider economy is fragile and growth will be slow and limited for the near future. The low interest rates have certainly benefitted many customers who have seen their mortgage repayments reduce substantially over the last year or so. However, inflation is starting to rise quite significantly and a rise in interest rates to more historically “normal” levels will inevitably have to come at some stage. The question is - when will the economy be strong enough to overcome any rise in rates that may introduced? Product Availability February and March (to date) has seen competition for business amongst the major high street mortgage lenders, with the number of products available remaining around the 3,500 level, some 1,110 more than the same period last year. Although we have seen overall product numbers increase, lenders are still very cautious when assessing a

customer’s suitability for a mortgage.

90% Mortgages We are now seeing some competition from lenders offering higher loan to value mortgages with a significant increase from several months ago in the number of lenders currently offering products at up to 90% of a properties purchase price.

Remortgaging February has continued to see a steady level of remortgage business but we do expect to see this start to rise slowly in the coming months as lenders look to attract new customers with increasingly attractive remortgage deals. With several lenders recently increasing their Standard Variable Rates without any corresponding increase in Bank Base Rate, some customers may want to consider remortgaging to a fixed rate to protect themselves from any further increases that a lender may choose to pass on, as and when interest rates rise, as they undoubtedly will at some stage in the future. Paul Watts is from Mortgage Solutions Limited - for further information on how the latest base rate decision affects you please call 01403 241414 or visit www.mortgagesolutionsltd.co.uk

Art competition for children

43 Millfield, Southwater

Jessica Harvey’s winning entry in 2008 Following the popularity of their drawing competition in recent years, local letting specialists Leaders are once again giving local children the chance to win £250 for their school plus £50 worth of art equipment for themselves. This year the theme is ‘Draw your Ideal Home. This can be anything from a realistic house, flat or castle to the more fantastical: a teapot, sweet factory or spaceship!

Says Leaders’ Managing Director, Paul Weller: “In the last three years we have been inundated by entries to our drawing competition from children across the areas we cover, and have been delighted to award hundreds of pounds to local schools. “We have been very impressed by the time and effort the children have taken over their entries and have had some very worthy winners. “As a long established business with a large number of employees and clients across Sussex, Surrey, Hampshire, Berkshire, Dorset, Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire, we like to make a positive contribution to the communities in which we operate, whether by helping to raise funds for local charities or sponsoring indi-

viduals or community projects. “Our drawing competition has become a fun way for us to contribute to local schools and we hope to see lots of children taking part again this year.” Children aged between 4 and 11 years old are invited to enter the competition. There will be two categories: ages 47 years and 8-11 years. The deadline for entry is Thursday, 1st April and the winners will be notified and announced by the end of April. The winners in each category will be awarded £250 for their school, plus a £50 gift voucher for themselves to spend on art equipment. To take part in the competition, please send your artwork (no bigger than A4 size) to Lisa Martin, PR Manager, Leaders Ltd, Columbia House, Columbia Drive, Worthing, West Sussex, BN13 3HD.

Spring rush is good news for owners

If you want to sell your home in 2010, now is the time to get your property on the market according to local estate agent Fox and Sons. According to the branch in Horsham, the spring period, especially around Easter weekend, is one of the busiest times of the year for buying and selling property. As people shake off the cobwebs of winter and the weather gets warmer, potential buyers will be out in force looking for a new home. “Spring is a great time to sell,” says Fox and Sons Branch Manager Daniel Marks. “Not only will properties look nicer in better weather but increased appetite to move during the spring period means sellers will have more prospective buyers competing to buy their home making it more likely you will achieve offers closer to the asking price.

“We almost always see a rush of buyers entering the market in springtime,” Daniel “It seems that many feel inspired by the warmer weather and longer days to start making plans for the future, including looking for a new home.” Fox and Sons as part of the Sequence national estate agency network, has seen a marked increase in the level of buyer interest in 2010. Figures so far this year indicate strong demand from home buyers and the team in Horsham fully anticipate this will translate into a bumper spring with increased numbers looking to buy before, during and after the Easter weekend. To find out more about selling your property, the local market or to arrange a free market appraisal, contact Fox and Sons on 01403 217 417

Acorn makes new roots “In 2006 after spending three years living and working in Switzerland we decided to return to the UK and settled on Horsham. “We chose Horsham after researching the area on the Internet, seeing it had excel-

lent schools for our daughters, good employment prospects and was a very nice place to live. “We checked the area out with a couple of trips and initially chose to rent in neighbouring Southwater.

“After a year we moved into Horsham and rented again, decided it was the place for us and started looking to buy. In 2008 we bought a house in the centre of Horsham and are now firmly rooted.

“After some preliminary background promotional work we officially launched the Acorn business in the New Year and are looking forward to developing the business.” -David and Jenny Hirst

LandLords Wanted

David and Jenny Hirst have established a branch of Acorn Residential Lettings in Horsham Town Centre A new family run Lettings Agency is already building up a fine reputation in Horsham for its focus on great service and customer care. After enduring years of generally poor service from various Letting Agents, David and Jenny Hirst felt they could combine their experience and offer a better deal for clients. In November 2009, the couple decided to set up a branch of the Acorn Residential Letting franchise as it offered the backing of a very successful team but with the autonomy and independence that they were seeking. Acorn Residential Lettings Horsham Ltd is steadily building a great reputation amongst local landlords who are reaping the benefits of using local people who are first and foremost investors themselves; and not just another Letting Agent. Acorn are currently offering landlords a number of incentives as they bid to cement the company’s foundation in Horsham, including: l Free First Tenant Find Fee l Free Home visit to see how the tenant lives now l Free placement of a To Let sign at the Property l And as a final offer, register NOW and try the Acorn experience FREE for the first month.

For all this you only pay 10% + VAT for the Fully Managed Service.

Acorn Residential Lettings Horsham Ltd also offers:

1. No nonsense Management contracts – simple to understand with clear notice periods. YOU decide the contract period, whether its 6 or 12 months - and you will not be tied into a ‘no refund’ 12 month Insurance policy either! 2. Regular rental payments made

on the same day of each month.

3. 24/7 access to your Acorn account via the internet. With Acorns up to date Web based system you can view your Property Account any time you like, checking for payments, progress on repairs or even when the next Gas Safety check is due.

4. Benefit number 4 is all about Communication and is very much a passion of Jenny’s. When you join Acorn you will be assigned your own Client Manager who will look after all aspects of you're property. Jenny is so passionate about making the communication process second to none that she has committed to managing the first 75 clients to set the standard for others to follow. 5. Repairs. Acorn will inform you of any repairs to your property before they take place, so you won’t get any nasty surprises at the end of the month.

6. The right tenant. At Acorn, David and Jenny know you need the RIGHT tenant. Just some of the ways they ensure this includes a comprehensive application process, Employer or Working guarantors taken in all instances, a home visit to ascertain how the tenant lives now, and six monthly inspections from which you receive a detailed report including a comprehensive set of digital photos.

We could go on and on highlighting the benefits and discussing the ways in which Acorn, in the capable hands of David and Jenny, is so different from so many other Letting Agents. However the best way to find out is to come and try the Acorn experience for yourself. Call Acorn Residential Lettings (Horsham) today on 01403 267672

First In Letting www.leaders.co.uk

Experience in Letting Paramount, warns Leaders Unless particularly knowledgeable about property services, the majority of people are unaware of the intricacies of residential property lettings, and of the importance of using an experienced, qualiﬁed and independent letting specialist when renting or letting a property.

and tenants to choose their letting agent carefully; this is not the time to be cutting corners or taking risks. The effects of the credit crunch mean that even tenants who would normally be considered extremely creditworthy, for example, employees of investment banks, may get into difﬁculty or lose their jobs. It is in times like this that experience is paramount, to safeguard your investment and ensure that any potential problems are kept to a minimum.”

According to Leaders – one of the UK’s Kathy Taylor, Senior Branch Manager - Leaders Horsham largest independently owned letting agents – this is a concern, particularly at a time when more and more people are renting and letting property and many new lettings services are springing up as a result.

There are six key questions you should always ask a letting agent before deciding whether to rent or let through them. And the answer to all six should be YES: 1. Are you a member of a professional body? 2. Do you maintain separate client accounts? 3. Are you bonded? 4. Do you hold professional indemnity insurance? 5. Are your staff qualiﬁed? 6. Are you a member of a tenancy deposit protection scheme?

Says Kathy Taylor, Senior Manager: “When you use the letting service of an agent you entrust them to do more than simply find you a home to rent or a tenant for your property. You rely on them to take care of a number of critical issues, including ensuring the tenants’ safety in the property; legal compliance; care and maintenance of the property; protection of landlord’s and tenants’ rights; smooth-running of the tenancy; and reliable provision of accurate, up-to-date and impartial advice on the many aspects of renting or letting. “With all this in mind, wouldn’t you be more confident knowing that your chosen agent is a qualified and experience specialist who knows everything there is to know about lettings, rather than someone new to lettings with minimal experience and no qualifications?” Leaders are concerned about the quality of service being offered to unwitting landlords and tenants by the increasing number of inexperienced agents providing lettings services. Says Kathy: “Now, more than ever, it is important for landlords

To be on the safe side, Leaders advise landlords and tenants to only consider an experienced letting agent that is a member of a relevant professional body such as ARLA or RICS. A licensed ARLA agent will have been practising lettings for at least two years and have at least one ARLA qualiﬁed member of staff.

Says Kathy: “As well as being able to answer yes to all the above, your chosen letting agent should ideally specialise in lettings, with many years of experience in the industry and an excellent local reputation. The staff should have a thorough understanding of your local market and most importantly, they should be completely impartial. We strongly advise landlords never to take rental advice from an agent who is selling you a buy-to-let property.” Leaders have been specialising in the letting and care of rented property to the highest standards for 26 years and with their professionally qualified employees - their knowledge and capability in this field are second to none. They continue to be the first choice for thousands of informed landlords and tenants across the South East.
