REVIEW

Market view When investing, look at what drives demand, suggests property finder Robert Bailey Anyone looking to invest in London could talk to a dozen people and receive a dozen different responses. One Belgravia agent is convinced we’ll see double-digit capital appreciation this year, while many larger multinational agents believe prices will remain steady. I’ve even had a few agents quietly tell me they think prices may dip.

I haven’t seen any price falls and think this is unlikely, but there’s a feeling the frenzied market we’ve been experiencing may be calming. What’s more, the prime central market is fragmenting into separate neighbourhoods again. The prognosis for Knightsbridge differs from Mayfair, and Chelsea is unlike Notting Hill. This isn’t a bad thing, and, if anything, is healthy as rampant inflation inevitably leads to rampant deflation. Instead, I think prices have simply regained their values from the 2008 crash and appreciated in line with expectations.

Those who invested in 2008 and 2009 have obviously done very well for themselves, but from now on, buyers need to look at local influences. For instance, there’s genuine value in Kensington. Work is under way on the former Commonwealth Institute. When the relocated Design Museum opens in its place in a couple of years, it will be a real asset to the area. Down the street, the art deco Kensington Odeon is being redeveloped into luxury apartments with a public garden at the front, while Berkeley’s newly launched 375 Kensington High Street is boosting the Olympia end of Kensington.

Wycombe Square, which garnered tremendous opposition when it was proposed, has proven to be a sound addition to Campden Hill, already one of the most exclusive roads in London. In fact, Kensington boasts some of the most exclusive developments and streets in the capital. When JK Rowling was looking for a secure home, she chose Earls Terrace, a refurbishment of 25 Georgian terraced homes with private underground parking, manned security and access to Edwardes Square.

The secret to identifying areas likely to appreciate in capital value, compared to those that have already peaked, is to look at what’s driving demand. There’s a tremendous shortage of stock in Kensington, especially for family homes. Although new developments are under way, there won’t be enough to satisfy demand. Anyone seeking to buy here needs to be organised and able to move quickly and decisively. No matter how salubrious, areas like Kensington still have further potential.

In an exclusive area, there are always pockets that haven’t kept up, and when a developer or large estate realises the potential, the place reaches even greater heights. Kensington, despite already being one of London’s top areas, will continue its ascent. www.robertbaileyproperty.com 020 7352 0899

Stamp duty fears dissolve Cheryl Markosky brings you the latest word on the streets Despite the budget announcement to raise stamp duty to 7 per cent for individuals and 15 per cent for those purchasing as ‘non-natural persons’ in the £2 million plus bracket, prices have risen in prime central London by 1.1 per cent.

According to research from Knight Frank, the number of new applicants in April hunting for homes costing £2 million or more was 13 per cent higher than in March, signalling that prospective buyers haven’t been put off by increased stamp duty. And sales subject to contract in the three months to April were up 50 per cent on the same period last year.

There’s also been much talk of rich French buyers turning to London, spooked by French election candidate Francois Hollande’s talk of wealth taxes of 75 per cent on annual income above €1 million (£812,097). But is there any substance to the rumour?

Liam Bailey, Knight Frank’s head of residential research, says: “In terms of exchanges the answer is, not yet. Knight Frank saw just one additional sale to a French national in the first four months of this year compared with the same period in 2011. But there is anecdotal evidence of increasing interest, both in terms of the number of walk-ins reported by our offices, and of prospective purchasers searching online.”

The number of French web users viewing prime properties in the capital on Knight Frank’s site increased as the eurozone crisis hit in May 2011.

“Although this activity began to tail off later in the year, there was a significant spike in February (68 per cent year-onyear growth in searches), coinciding with Hollande’s proposal for the tax on top earners,” adds Bailey.

Kit Allen from Savills Kensington suggests there could be interest from the French wanting to move to London.

“But it’s unlikely there will be northern longboats filled with people rushing over to our shores. A lot will depend on whether they plan to live in the capital for a decade or more, or simply add a London house to their property collection and spend fewer than 20 days a year here.”

It’s a very discerning market at the moment, Allen adds, suggesting new arrivals from France might put more pressure on the rentals market than on sales, as they rent first before rushing into a purchase.

The French have been down this route before with Mitterrand, so many wealthy French people have already bought in London – as a walk around South Kensington will attest, points out Ralph Ward-Jackson at Prospect Property Search. “There’s the possibility more French people could relocate for work reasons, as London and its strong property market is already regarded as a safe haven by the international community.”

This is not a given, however, as the French may look in cities other than London, specifically Brussels, as it’s nearer to Paris by Eurostar, the locals speak French, and property prices here are a fraction of those in London, adds Ward-Jackson.

“There was a significant spike in French interest in February, coinciding with Hollande’s proposal for the tax on top earners” Liam Bailey, Knight Frank

Pay and display There are no windows, no view and no fancy fittings, but this unprepossessing property is bound to be scooped up swiftly despite an absence of designer flourishes.

The catch is it’s a garage in the heart of Knightsbridge, and therefore, on the market at a record price of £525,000 – three times the national average house price of £161,588, according to the latest Land Registry figures.

“It’s very rare to get a freehold garage in Knightsbridge, so it’s exceptionally valuable,” explains Robert Lewis at WA Ellis (020 7306 1600). “We anticipate interest from those living within a two to three-minute walk of the garage, for example from the large houses on Walton Place where there’s no off-street parking.”

So, forget the old adage that an Englishman’s home is his castle. In central London, it’s obviously his garage.

Honest broker celebrates We don’t hear estate agents being praised all that often, but glasses were raised to Colin Lowman at his recent 80th birthday celebrations.

An estate agent for 62 years, Lowman started working in 1950 at Roy Brooks, or EH Brooks & Sons, as it was then. He left Roy Brooks – the agency once known for frank property descriptions, such as ‘one of the filthiest houses I’ve seen for a long time’ and ‘probably the greatest reduction made since war’ – to work with other agencies, including Andrews & Robertson.

Four years ago he decided he’d like to end up where he started, and rejoined Roy Brooks in Dulwich.

He’s dealt with “many extraordinary names”, including Anne Widdicombe, Jenny Eclair, Hardy Amies, Ludovic Kennedy, Nigel Lawson, Bertrand Russell, Harry Corbett, Jenny Agutter and Anthony Gormley. Lowman has sold three homes for Sean Connery and several Prime Ministers’ residences.

He says: “When Clement Attlee was selling Cherry Tree Cottage in Buckinghamshire, my boss Roy Brooks went out to value the place. Attlee’s wife Violet said to her husband, ‘Why don’t you continue peeling the potatoes while I show Mr Brooks the house?’”

And a former Chancellor of the Exchequer once asked Lowman which way he thought the housing market was going, and whether he should drop his price now or wait for a recovery.

Memories of the way things used to be are many, from advertising the vendor’s telephone number alongside Colin Lowman: He’s sold three homes for Sean Connery and the properties of several Prime Ministers.

the details so viewers could call direct, throwing the keys to vacant homes to people and inviting them to go and take a look, not taking deposits for a property, and tossing a coin as an option to sealed bids. It all seemed to work, as “people were gentlemen then”.

Colin also recalls putting ink in a drum and hand-printing property details, and using his Dictaphone in the Sixties.

However, “one must keep up with the flow”, and he uses a computer now.

Lowman considered buying a onebedroom flat in Battersea with his wife when he married. “My suburban mother was so horrified at the thought of this, she didn’t sleep for three nights. We ended up buying in central London instead.”

London voice Prices now stand at an average 13 per cent above their 2007 peak, reveals Jonathan Hewlett, head of London Residential, Savills.

In London, stock shortages and strong overseas demand have pushed prices above their 2007 peak. After a sixmonth lull in house price growth, in aggregate the prime residential markets of London showed much stronger price growth of 2.8 per cent in the three months in the run-up to the Budget. Annual price growth of 8.6 per cent means that prices are on average 13 per cent above their peak.

Within the central London market, stock has remained constrained, ending the quarter at just over half (54 per cent) of the average levels seen at this time of the year in the preceding nine years. This is reflected in a continuation of robust transaction levels. Across the market, sales over £5 million were 20 per cent up over the same period last year generating proceeds of some £940 million.

The resulting stock shortages have combined with strong overseas demand to push prices 20 per cent above their 2007 peak and leave annual price growth in double-digit territory. In the first thee months of the year, overseas buyers accounted for 62 per cent of buyers in central London, a figure that compares to 55 per cent in the first quarter of 2011.

Such stock shortages have served to change the profile of demand in neighbouring Fulham, which increasingly has taken on the characteristics of central London, albeit at a lower price point. The buyer profile has become progressively more international, particularly in the £2 million-plus market, and annual price growth stands at over 15 per cent.

Stock has been less constrained in the more domestic markets of south-west and north London. Nonetheless as a whole these markets performed similarly strongly in the quarter, as accumulated equity continued to be recycled.

Though prices were effectively static in the markets of Putney and Chiswick, this was more than offset elsewhere, particularly given strong quarterly performance in the Wandsworth and Hampstead markets.

The stamp duty increases are likely to be a catalyst for a period of relatively static prices, in line with the Savills research published forecasts. Longer term growth prospects for prime central London are still strong as growth is forecast to resume later in 2013, driven by strong global city fundamentals and an improving domestic economy.

In light of this, we are launching our new Chelsea office this month with a well-established, Chelsea-based sales and lettings team and Savills Interior Services. We are also opening an office in Notting Hill and Fulham Palace Road later in the year, and we have just celebrated Savills Waterfront department’s one-year anniversary.

Not all gloom and doom It may be good news for house hunters, says Duncan Farmer

Better surveys bring a glimmer of hope HSBC is to increase the maximum loan-to-value available on its mortgages for new-build properties from 75 per cent to 85 per cent, as its head of lending suggested the market was shaping up with better surveying practices producing more stable valuations.

Martijn van der Heijden also reported that the first three months of 2012 was HSBC’s strongest quarter of mortgage lending ever, albeit from a low base. Van der Heijden attributed its increased lending partly to the hikes in standard variable rate loans implemented by a raft of lenders including Halifax, which boosted HSBC’s mortgage lending by 30 per cent on the previous quarter. Looking ahead, Van der Heijden also said he definitely saw a “glimmer of hope” in the mortgage market.

Depressing economic figures have revealed that the British economy is officially in recession. The Office for National Statistics reported last month that the UK economy contracted by 0.2 per cent in the first three months of 2012, following a decline of 0.3 per cent in the final quarter of 2011 – technically pushing us back into recession.

However, Mark Harris of SPF Private Clients, the mortgage broker, says the news is not quite as disastrous as it at first seemed, and that it may be good news for house hunters and mortgage borrowers.

“Before we get too carried away with the doom and gloom, the figures are a preliminary estimate and the figure is likely to be revised upwards,” says Harris. “Other surveys and the job market paint a brighter picture than the GDP estimate. However, it does mean that more quantitative easing is likely to be on the cards and that interest rates will not rise any time soon. While savers will be disappointed, this is good news for mortgage borrowers.”

Harris added, though, that while there has been no move in interest rates, a number of lenders have been raising their standard variable rates regardless.

From May 1, about 1.2 million borrowers, including those with Halifax and RBS, will receive a payment shock when their lender raises its SVR. Additionally, in the past month many high street lenders have tightened their lending criteria for interest-only loans, which are popular with high-net-worth borrowers. Many now demand that borrowers put down a deposit of at least 50 per cent of the purchase price and can prove that they have other assets for repaying the capital sum.

Better news is that private banks are happier to grant interest-only loans to borrowers with smaller deposits. And, in any event, there remain good deals on repayment mortgages for borrowers with a clean credit history. One of the lowest, with an interest rate of just 2.29 per cent, is available through HSBC to borrowers who can put down 35 per cent. And for those looking for a bit of long-term certainty, HSBC also has a five-year fixed-rate loan with a rate of just 3.29 per cent – again borrowers need a 35 per cent deposit.

“With other lenders tightening their interest-only criteria, it is important that borrowers review their position by consulting an independent mortgage broker.” says Harris.

Divide and conquer

BRITS ARE GROWING MORE CONFIDENT

The number of properties selling for more than £2 million-plus hit record levels last year, up by five per cent from a year earlier, but the number of homes selling for more than £5 million jumped by almost a quarter, according to research by Lloyds.

The figures show a growing divide between the super-rich London buyers and the rest of the market – by contrast the number of £1 million properties fell by five per cent – and the fact the wealthiest sector of the market rarely relies on a mortgage whereas buyers of more modest homes are struggling to find a loan.

Suren Thiru, Lloyds TSB’s housing economist, said: “Continued demand from wealthy cash-rich buyers, both from the UK and overseas, as well as limited supply has meant that this segment of the market remains largely immune from the headwinds facing the vast majority of homebuyers.” More than three-quarters of all £2 million-plus sales in 2011 were in London, and more than half of all multi-million pound sales took place in just three boroughs: Kensington and Chelsea, Westminster and Camden.

Britons are becoming increasingly confident in the outlook for the housing market, according to the latest Halifax housing market confidence tracker.

Nearly 40 per cent of respondents predict that house prices nationally will increase over the next year, almost double the proportion that believe house prices will fall.

Londoners remain the most confident about the prospects for the housing market, followed by people living in the East, the South-West and the South-East. The survey also showed that economic uncertainty continues to constrain housing demand, as more than half of people said concerns about job security was the main worry facing potential buyers.

Raising enough money for a deposit was the second biggest challenge for 42 per cent of respondents, followed by the availability of mortgages for 30 per cent.

Martin Ellis, housing economist at Halifax, said: “It is encouraging that the level of consumer confidence in the housing market continues to improve, albeit from a very low base. This is consistent with the broad stability that we have been seeing in house prices nationally in recent months.”

Self-employed farmed out A ‘factory farming’ approach to mortgage lending taken by the biggest lenders is putting self-employed borrowers at a disadvantage, according to Brightstar Financial, an intermediary for specialist lending.

Brightstar managing director Rob Jupp said: “Today’s business owner is working in very difficult trading conditions and lenders looking for the usual three years’ accounts are rejecting many good cases simply because of out-of-date thinking. Cash-flow ebbs and flows mirror the economic turbulence over the past few years, and it stands to reason that historic data more than a year old is not as relevant to calculating affordability as it is in times of greater stability. It is, in many cases, not useful as a reliable guide at the time of application in a fast-moving economy like ours.”

UK property prices increase more than 100 fold since 1952 Property prices have increased 105 fold during the Queen’s 60 year reign and 16 times since the Silver Jubilee in 1977, according to new research from Hamptons International.

At a time when the nation is gearing up for a weekend of street parties and celebration, the Hamptons International research analysed the cost of a home in 1952, 1977 and 2012.

In 1952, the average price of a home in the UK was just £1,520 and £9,737 in 1977, compared with £160,000 today. The research found that the average price of a home in London has risen 134 fold since 1952 and 21 fold since 1977. In 1952, the average price of a London home was £2,650, in 1977 it had risen to £16,493 compared with the average price of £354,300.

Adam Challis, Head of Research at Hamptons International, commented on the findings “Britons are well known for their love affair with bricks and mortar and our jubilee property price analysis goes some way to prove just what a reliable investment property has been over the long-term. A 105 fold increase in the value of the average home in the UK over a 60 year period equates to a profit of just over £7 a day. This profit is inflated even more in London, where price growth represents £16 a day over a 60 year period, representing a rather healthy return on investment.”

Hamptons International is selling a number of properties which were for sale and/or built in the 1950s:

Highfield House £3,750,000

Magnificent seven on Chester Square Extensive renovation and rebuilding work has taken three years to complete behind the Grade II listed façade of a grand house in a quiet corner of exclusive Chester Square.

It’s a turnkey property ready for new owners to move in immediately and start enjoying all its opulent fixtures, fittings and furnishings. You can buy the artwork too, if it’s to your liking.

Blending Regency character with contemporary luxury, the comprehensive high-specification revamp was carried out by the interior architecture and project management teams of global property design company Finchatton, based in Chelsea.

Seven floors of lavish living space showcasing expert craftsmanship are topped by a double mansard, and the property includes a large mews house at the rear.

International specification is said to be very much ‘de rigueur’ with air-cooling, Lutron lighting, underfloor heating, and sophisticated security.

In the cinema room, the Crestron automated audiovisual system dims the lights and fades the music for the movie to begin. The walls are panelled with sound-absorbing material, and the wool carpets are on sound-absorbing felt, so you can turn up the volume.

Indoor space of 8215 sq ft includes four receptions, six or seven bedroom suites, a gym with steam room

and shower, and staff accommodation.

The property also has a double garage, passenger lift, and roof garden.

It was once the home of Sir Granville Greenwood (18501928), politician and animal welfare reformer.

Margaret Thatcher has lived on Chester Square since 1991.

REVIEW

How to save £1m in ten years Buy a detached Edwardian house in Cadogan Gardens, off Sloane Street, and you could save yourself more than £1m in rent over a 10-year period.

With a freehold value of around £17m, the house is on the market at less than £4m as it has an unenfranchisable lease. It can be renewed to another 10 years when relevant but no further.

The 6410 sq ft house has five floors of space including five bedrooms (three with en suite dressing room and bathroom), reception room, dining room, gym and games room, and a staff flat. It also has a patio and separate garage.

“For those looking to rent a property of this size, this property actually represents a very good investment opportunity, as they would save over £1m in rent over the 10 years,” said estate agent Seamus Wylie of Ayrton Wylie.

“This figure doesn’t even factor in that most rents have a provision for rent to increase annually with RPI, which is currently around four per cent. If capital values increase as they are currently, then they also have the added bonus of the property increasing in value over the 10-year period, whereas those that rent obviously get no uplift at all.”

The property has come onto the market as the current owners are relocating back to the USA. Cadogan Gardens, Knightsbridge SW3, £3.95m, £9500 week rental, Ayrton Wylie 020 7730 4628

One home or two On the corner of Tregunter Road and Harcourt Terrace, an end-of-terrace house in Chelsea is currently divided into two apartments: a ground and lower ground floor garden maisonette and a triplex above with two terraces.

The property would be ideal for any buy-to-let investor looking for two flats in a well-located freehold building, or you could transform it back into an impressive single family house.

Total inside living space is almost 4470 sq ft. On the ground floor, the maisonette has two reception rooms, and a kitchen that leads out onto a terrace and 29ft garden. The lower ground floor includes four bedrooms

and a storage area.

On the first floor, the existing triplex has a reception room, a dining room, and a kitchen leading to a roof terrace.

There are two bedrooms – one leading to a terrace – and a dressing room on the second floor, and another bedroom and eaves space on the top floor.

Tregunter Road itself, part of The Boltons conservation area, is named after original ground landlord James Gunter from Brecon in Wales.

Planning to expand Totally unmodernised, a house in Gertrude Street is expecting a major transformation after clinching full planning permission to create an expanded family home.

The existing three-bedroom property has 1660 sq ft of inside space on three floors plus a 26ft rear garden.

Owners have been given the go-ahead to remodel throughout to generate more than 3000 sq ft of space.

Under the proposed plans, a new basement level would be excavated to produce two more bedrooms, each with their own bathroom and dressing room.

Gertrude Street is on the Ten Acre Estate, a square parcel of land bordered by Fulham Road, King’s Road, Park Walk and Slaidburn Street.

Renovated house in cobbled mews Ennismore Mews is cobbled and peaceful and yet only a leisurely stroll from major London attractions such as Harrods, Hyde Park and the V&A. Most properties in the mews, set behind Ennismore Gardens, were developed between 1845 and 1852 by builders John Elger, John Kelk and George William Mayhew in the initial scheme of 32 stables and coach houses.

Records show that the largest mews building, with space for four carriages, four stalls and three loose boxes, was let to silk broker Henry William Eaton, who lived nearby at 16 Prince Gate.

Currently for sale in Ennismore Mews is a freehold mews house renovated in contemporary style in recent years to high-spec standards. It has underfloor heating throughout and a fully integrated sound and audiovisual system.

Featuring an integral garage and roof terrace, the home has almost 1700 sq ft of space including three bedrooms and an open plan kitchen and dining room. The split-level master bedroom has an en suite bathroom, and there’s also a family bathroom.

The top floor reception room has patio doors that open out onto the wide, decked roof terrace with built-in wooden seating and views of the clock tower of the Russian Orthodox Cathedral in Ennismore Gardens.

Abbot’s House has New York style Swing gently in your hanging wicker egg chair by the palm tree as you contemplate taking another dip in the indoor pool. Maybe you’ll open the retractable roof, if the weather’s inviting enough.

Private pool and palm trees are among the plentiful pleasures of a prime penthouse with parking at Abbot’s House, a peaceful retreat close to Kensington High Street.

The New York-style apartment has more than 6150 sq ft of spectacular living and entertaining space on the seventh and eighth floors, with direct lift access. The main reception floor takes up 900 sq ft of that space and features a double-height vaulted ceiling.

You can walk out onto a south-facing roof terrace from this room, or walk the other way to a separate dining room with a calming built-in aquarium. This room connects to the kitchen and breakfast room, and there are two bedrooms on this level, both with access to a second roof terrace.

A spiral staircase leads from the main reception space up to a large TV and cinema room, which has a doorway to a gallery that takes you to the swimming pool. Next to the pool is a gym or playroom, and there’s a master bedroom with en suite bathroom and dressing room.

The building has a porter and the apartment includes secure underground parking for two cars. St Mary Abbots Terrace is off Holland Park Road, home of Leighton House Museum.

Best House winner Designed by architect Julian PowellTuck for himself and his family, a new-build property in Hammersmith is a former winner of Best Contemporary House in the Daily Telegraph Homebuilding and Renovating Awards.

The detached modern home behind Victorian neighbours in Stamford Brook Road won the title and overall prize in 2003, and is one of two low-built properties in a secure and secluded gated plot with off-street parking and garaging.

Julian has been living and working here with his wife Dinah and their four children. A third of the property has B1 commercial usage as an architect’s studio with first floor open plan office and ground floor reception and

storeroom. Planning permission is in place to convert this to residential use if necessary.

Arranged on two floors, the house has more than 5000 sq ft of space including four bedrooms, four bathrooms and two receptions.

Julian’s design work is described as an “uncomplicated, honest and modern industrial look, combining volume, light and comfort”.

Daily Telegraph awards judge Angela Pertusini said: “His achievement is exemplary and his home is absolutely breathtaking.”

Singing The Blues It’s every Chelsea supporter’s dream: a house and garden close to Stamford Bridge stadium at considerably less than the price of a similar property in SW3.

Just a few minutes’ walk from the current home of The Blues (they’re trying to move), the five-bedroom period house in SW6 on the Fulham and Chelsea borders also has direct access to a private garage in the mews behind.

The 2880 sq ft house in Moore Park Road features a lower ground floor containing a newly fitted kitchen, glassroofed dining area and family room – total length 28ft. It also has potential to extend by rear infill.

Contemporary pride of Lion house Fully extended and refurbished in contemporary style, a Nichols Lion house on the Peterborough Estate has more than 3000 sq ft of space stacked with high-tech features.

A multimedia system includes a cinema screen, projector and surround sound to all the main rooms. You’ll also find glass staircases, underfloor heating, Lutron lighting and video entryphone.

The Italian fitted kitchen has four ovens, American-style fridge freezer, granite worktops, and concertina doors into the walled 42ft rear garden. The kitchen is 31ft long, thanks to the generous extension work, and there’s a huge family and media room in the basement.

On the first and second floors are five bedrooms – four with en suite bathrooms – and there’s a sixth bedroom in the basement, ideal for the au pair. The south-west-facing garden has a built-in table with bench seating, lighting and a fire pit. The owner agrees to pay the three per cent stamp duty increase.

Options in Suffolk Dating back to the 16th century, a detached farmhouse sits outside the village of Brampton in Suffolk on a 35acre plot containing outbuildings and two potential holiday lets.

The property also offers an excellent opportunity to run an onsite business, and is currently the location of Moo Play Farm – very popular with the youngsters – featuring a soft play centre inside and a mini-farm with pigs, chickens and llamas outside.

Improved and modernised over the years by the current owners, the five-bedroom farmhouse features windows made of American white oak by a local carpenter.

Entertain your guests in a dining room with tiled floor, exposed

studwork, ceiling timbers and space for a large dining table and chairs in front of the brick fireplace. This leads to the drawing room with more exposed timbers and an inglenook fireplace with woodburner.

Outside, a two-tiered terrace overlooks a pond and leads down to the garden. An old grass tennis court and croquet lawn could both be reinstated. Nearest railway station is Halesworth, 2hr 15mins from London Liverpool Street.

REVIEW

Upper-scale trio When is a rentals home not really like a rentals home at all? When it’s designed to such a high standard it feels like someone’s own home, of course. Which is how one could describe three apartments in a Victorian building in Stafford Terrace, just off Kensington High Street.

The trio of upper-scale flats, priced accordingly at £1200, £4000 and £4500 a week, are a cut above the average, with marble floors and antique mirrors in the communal hallway, televisions hidden beneath paintings (a touch of a button slides the paintings upwards, revealing the tellies), speakers secreted behind plaster walls (no ugly speaker mesh on display) iPod docking systems, underfloor heating and polished concrete walls.

“Each flat’s different from the others, and the baths and showers have television screens so you can check

the stock market while bathing,” points out Sophie Wedlock-Smith, head of lettings at Strutt & Parker Kensington (020 7938 3866). “And, the apartments are fully furnished, so you can just move in with your suitcase, as if you’re staying in a five-star hotel.”

Other pluses include original features, such as cornicing, ceiling roses and beautiful staircases, combined with modern goodies (the steam shower, sauna, relaxing media room and roof terrace certainly get my vote). Alchemy Properties is the company behind the subtle design.

Landlords’ champion makes influential list Paul Shamplina, founder of Landlord Action and member of the Landlord Syndicate, has been placed 15th in a list of 25 of the most influential people in British property, as reported by the Daily Telegraph.

Other movers and shakers within the industry include property presenters Phil Spencer and Kirstie Allsopp, Chancellor George Osborne, and even Prince Charles.

Having helped on over 20,000 instructions since Landlord Action started 11 years ago, Paul is known for his no-nonsense approach to unruly tenants and for fronting pro-landlord political campaigns. The most high profile of these were Rebalancing the Law, which pressed for speedier court action for landlords with problem tenants, and his recent support for criminalising squatting. He has also become a figurehead for educating landlords and investors on the pitfalls of property investment, presenting over 450

seminars Nationwide.

Paul said it was privilege to be recognised alongside such a high standard of property entrepreneurs from throughout the industry. “My work is based on dealing with the non-glamorous side of property. From there, it has steered me from the practical elements of evicting problem tenants, through to highlighting the gritty reality to thousands of landlords in the hope to promote best practice and avoid costly mistakes,” he said.

“I have encountered some truly extraordinary cases from illegal sub-letting and squatting to record rental arrears and rogue property sourcing companies. I’ve seen it all. I intend to continue educating and fighting landlords’ cases, and with an ever-changing market I doubt my work will ever be done.”

The Landlord Syndicate, formed in 2009 with leading players from the buy-to-let industry, provides a free support centre for landlords. For more information on the top property people, visit www.telegraph.co.uk and search ‘property power list’.
