Q&A ask the expert

I understand a new property portal is launching very soon. How will this help me to sell my property?

Q

Robin Chatwin, head of Savills South West London, replies ...

L

eading estate and letting agents across the UK have formed a major new residential property portal, OnTheMarket. com, which will go live on 26 January.

Agents involved will be showcasing their properties with OnTheMarket.com, their own website and either Rightmove or Zoopla. Savills has chosen Rightmove as we have found the quality of leads to be better.

A combination of a presence across these platforms backed up by our global presence, traditional marketing and advertising methods will ensure the best possible exposure for our clients’ properties.

Every property available at OnTheMarket.com will also benefit from the expertise of our locally based estate or letting agents, enabling serious buyers and tenants to speak face to face with the agents displaying properties they are interested in.

Unlike other property portals, which generate profits for shareholders, OnTheMarket.com is owned by more than 4000 partner/member agents and profits will be allocated to continued improvements on the search service for consumers and users.

The property search engine will be slick, simple, fast and state-of-the-art, with no distracting third party adverts, spam mail or an unnecessary overload of information. Many clients have found that existing portals have some fundamentally unhelpful features, such as statistically based valuations, which can conflict with the asking price and price change history. The property information displayed on OnTheMarket. com will be tailored by agents to present each property to its best advantage.

OnTheMarket.com will cover the whole of the UK, with member agents evenly spread across the country, and appeal to both the prime and mainstream segments of the property market.

In time, OnTheMarket.com will be the only place to find all the properties of the country’s leading estate agents, and therefore the only place to go for a consumer’s property search. From the outset, the portal will showcase hundreds of thousands of UK properties for sale and to let, immediately becoming a ‘must view’ portal.

The quality of the agents participating and the data supplied has already been recognised, with OnTheMarket.com the only portal to be endorsed by both the NAEA and ARLA.

After a soaring sales market in 2014 it looks as if this year will be the turn of the lettings market, says Jenny Knight.

what’s hot in...

WIMBLEDON Luxury lettings High Street Newly renovated, this unique first floor two-bedroom apartment with large private terrace and two bathrooms is set in the Grade II listed former fire station.

A

gents report more corporate clients, more international interest and a steady demand from families and young professionals, as well as new buy-to-let investors.

Charles Weller of Palace Gate Lettings says: “The mainstay of our market are professional sharers looking for flats. Quality is the key. Nicer one to three-bed properties that are a maximum 10 minutes from a tube station are snapped up. We also see new graduates looking for three or four-bedroom houses to share. “ According to Clare Hampson of Savills, almost 40 per cent of tenants now rent from a lifestyle choice rather than necessity. “A strengthening economy and more buoyant employment market has translated to a pick up in the prime lettings market in the South West of London,” she says.

“The redevelopment in Battersea, along the river, has seen an influx of investors, who will offer their properties for rental. Rents have risen in the last five years by 25.6 per cent and they are expected to rise a further 20.4 per cent leading up to 2019.

“Lettings in the Clapham, Battersea and Wandsworth area achieved a record £48 per square foot in 2014.

This year the lettings market is expected to be exciting and fruitful with a good level of stock and a good level of demand.”

One of the trends boosting lettings is buyers who rent while they gut and renovate their new home before taking up residence.

According to Tom Crouch of John Thorogood, buyers rent for up to a year while they supervise a loft extension, side return and basement.

He says: “Americans, Canadians, Europeans and Australians are moving into South London. Some letters are trying out the area before buying and others get into the catchment area of a school while they look for a house they want to buy.”

Ruth Barr of Knight Frank says corporate tenants have brought new life to the £5000 to £8000 a month rental bracket in Wimbledon.

“We have even seen some corporate lets of up to £12,000 a month. This area is attractive to people with children to educate including Russians, Germans and Norwegians. A lot of young professionals are committing to tenancies of 24 months or more as they come out of the sales market and decide to hunker down and save hard.“

£3000 a month Robert Holmes 0208 879 9669

usician, philanthropist and Police supremo Sting is set to become an Englishman in Battersea. He is promising to be a ‘well-behaved’ neighbour after buying a luxury apartment at the £8bn Battersea Power Station redevelopment.

Sting, 63, and his wife Trudie Styler are said to have bought one of the homes in Phase Three, which includes 1305 flats and penthouses at the scheme designed by Lord Foster and Los Angeles-based Frank Gehry.

Homes around the Grade II* listed former power station will border a pedestrianised high street in an area to be known as Electric Boulevard.

the word Special report by Sandra Carline, head of Savills Barnes

2

014 was a varied year for the property market in Barnes: it began with a bang, with rising demand and low stock levels creating price increases and sealed bid scenarios.

By summer, increased stock levels and price sensitivity crept back into the market, a trend that continued throughout the second half of the year.

Political uncertainty ahead of the next general election and mansion tax proposals have both added an element of caution, while the most recent development in the market has been stamp duty reform. This has been very positive news for first-time buyers and second steppers.

Although prime properties are seeing increases in their stamp duty tax, we do expect buyers to adjust to the new costs and for this to be absorbed by the market in the long term, with Savills Research currently predicting growth of 20 per cent in Barnes by 2019.

Barnes remains a popular location for buyers looking for a London home with a village feel.

Centred on an attractive duck pond, Barnes

offers traditional delights such as a country-style pub, butcher, fishmonger and Saturday farmers market.

UK buyers are the most prominent across all price brackets in the area, followed by Western Europeans. Barnes has a large Swedish community, supported by the Swedish School in Lonsdale Road and Totally Swedish shop in the village.

Barnes has a strong community spirit with 88 per cent of purchasers buying property in the area as their main residence. In comparison to more central enclaves of London, buyers are attracted to the larger gardens and increased space they can find in Barnes and other areas of South West London.

There are a number of natural open spaces to enjoy in the area including the green, common and riverside walks close to the boundaries of the London Wetlands Centre. Highly regarded schools in the area include St Paul’s, Colet Court, The Harrodian, Barnes Primary and St Osmond’s.

out of town buy

Currently on the market, we have a striking and innovative Victorian house by award winning architects De Matos Ryan, whose focus was to create a contemporary space within a period building to provide for both family living and entertainment using the lasted innovations and highest specification materials. The property on Lonsdale Road has a guide price of £4.5m.

Gardens front and rear were designed by Chelsea double gold medal winner Luciano Giubbilei. The house is arranged over five floors, with a stunning Poliform kitchen on the lower ground floor along with a family room with a wall of glass opening out onto the garden. The property benefits from a great position close to the transport links at Hammersmith Broadway.

Where?

Abbeville Village, just a few doors down from where my parents used to live.

What’s it like?

House on Quakers estate Guide price £995,000 St Nons is an updated three-bedroom detached house in the village of Jordans in the Chiltern Hills. Surrounded by open countryside and woodland, the property is a few miles from the market town of Beaconsfield.

The village takes its name from Old Jordans, the farmstead where Quaker farmers lived in the 17th Century. When land became available in 1915, Quakers created the Jordans Village Estate. Savills on 01494 731950.

You receive a warm welcome the moment you step inside. Stylish branding and the interior décor are welcoming and there are separate areas for takeaway or dining in.

And the food?

It’s all fresh and hand-prepared daily – and you can tell! The £5 small fish and chip special is a definite winner in my family and perfect for a hungry three-year-old.

The homemade tartare sauce is the best I’ve ever tasted.

Falling in love with all things Clapham Anna Czaban, Lettings Manager, Knight Frank Clapham

D

uring a gap year visit to London from her native Poland, Anna Czaban became besotted with all things Clapham. She loved it so much she stayed on and completed her management degree by distance learning.

Now she is cementing her relationship with South London as manager of Clapham’s new Knight Frank lettings in the heart of the vibrant old town.

The smart new office decked out in Knight Frank’s distinctive red and white livery is in The Polygon - two minutes walk from Clapham Common underground station.

Thanks to Knight Frank’s network of agents spanning five continents from Australia to Zimbabwe, Anna believes the new Clapham office will bring a global reach to lettings.

She says: “Originally I didn’t plan to stay in London, but I loved the people, the international air, the music, the theatre and I made so many friends.”

She lived in Clapham for nearly eight years before moving to Streatham and says: “I know the area from both sides as a tenant and as an agent. We work closely with the sales department to give people a complete view of the market. I love properties in South London. There is such a variety of apartments and houses, modern and period.

Clapham old town is such an interesting place. Every day a new bar or restaurant seems to open.”

Working with the lettings and sales team, Anna plans to get to know her customers and to give honest advice with up-to-date information on market conditions, and how to present property for the best results.

Since the new bureau opened in December, she reports they have been phenomenally busy with applicants, landlords and relocation agents talking about properties across south London from Clapham North and South and into Wandsworth and Balham.

Thanks to her previous experience working in south London, Anna knows the area well enough to beat traffic jams by using back streets, but to overcome parking problems and to boost the office’s green credentials they plan to buy a bicycle. So keep an eye out for the agents with pedal power.

Helping to raise rental standards F

oxtons has joined the new London Rental Standard, a voluntary scheme launched by Mayor of London Boris Johnson to promote higher standards in the private rented sector.

The LRS is also designed to reassure tenants that they are renting from a professional agent who will comply with all the necessary legislation such as deposit protection and safety certificates. Membership is based on existing accreditation with industry-recognised schemes.

Lori Thompson, Foxtons director of Customer Services, said: “We work to the highest of standards and have been a voluntary member of the key governing bodies for many years helping to raise standards within the industry.”

Foxtons recently won three trophies at the prestigious Estate Agency Awards in association with The Times and Sunday Times: Gold for Best Customer Service (Large Agency), Silver for Best Website, and Bronze for Best Large Estate Agency.

Lori Thompson, centre, is pictured at the Lancaster Hotel receiving the Gold Award from entrepreneur Michelle Mone OBE and award sponsor Simon Whale of Reapit.

Fundraisers deliver gifts for housing charity Fundraising by Kinleigh Folkard & Hayward last year for the charity Housing for Women reached a total of £14,000 following a donation of £3300 in December.

KFH staff helped to spread Christmas cheer by hand-delivering £50 store vouchers, personalised Christmas cards, toys, clothes and donations to the women and children sheltered by the charity over the festive season.

Anna Macleod, KFH head of Marketing and Communication, said: “Housing Londoners is at the core of our business and we are very happy to have continued our support for the London based charity.”

WORD ON THE STREET Londoners look further afield Off the ramp Motor mechanics Denys Coates (right) and Mick Wicking have closed the garage door for the final time at Bolingbroke Motors, their business in Battersea.

The two owners are retiring and hitting the road after repairing and maintaining the vehicles of motorists in SW11 and beyond for the past 33 years. Their premises in Bennerley Road were used for vehicle repairs for more than 100 years.

(Picture by Johnny Armstead.)

The number of properties sold for £1m or more across England and Wales – excluding London – during the first six months of 2014 was 44 per cent higher than the corresponding period in 2013.

As the ripple effect of stronger market performance moved out from London in 2014, sales picked up across the country, reports Oliver Knight, editorial and research executive for Knight Frank.

“The bulk of prime activity was concentrated on southern England and the Home Counties. The majority of £1m-plus sales in the first half of 2014 were located around the transport corridors of the M3, M4 and the M40,” said Knight (pictured).

“These markets benefit from their proximity to London and excellent transport links back to the capital, good schools and local amenities.”

Most Londoners are still moving to familiar commuter-belt territory in the Home Counties, but others have looked further afield.

“In Bath, for example, the number of Londoners who purchased a property doubled compared to 2013, while buyers from the capital made up 24 per cent of sales in Cirencester, 26 per cent in Stow and 44 per cent in Haslemere.”

Century 21 grants 21 franchises Century 21 UK granted agreements to open 21 new franchise offices during 2014 in a significant period of growth and development generated by parent company Shepherd Direct.

Sixteen of the new franchises are in London, including offices in Battersea, Blackheath, Borough, Chiswick, Elephant & Castle, Fulham and Sloane Square.

Rob Clifford, chief executive of Century 21 UK and group commercial director of Shepherd Direct, said: “Our aim now is to continue this level of recruitment and to continue to market our offering and brand to the many entrepreneurial individuals who are seeking a quality partner to make the most of this positive marketplace.”

In April 2013 Shepherd Direct Ltd (SDL Group) acquired the licence to operate the Century 21 estate agency and lettings brand throughout the UK, Channel Islands, Gibraltar and Isle of Man. Shepherd Direct recently completed a deal with Sigma/Gatehouse Bank to build over 6000 new rental properties across the country.

Will it be a buyers’ market until early summer?

Robin Chatwin, head of Savills South West London

We have already seen a busy start to the year with people keen to continue investing in London property. Even with the upcoming general election, we believe there are plenty of deals to be done in the first half of 2015.

This is particularly true for properties priced under £1m, where the recent change in stamp duty rates has reduced the cost of buying, making the market more accessible to first-time buyers and secondsteppers.

Realistic pricing and good presentation will be key to success for vendors, while the strength of the Savills brand will continue to help us achieve the best possible results for clients.

Tyrone Eneh, sales manager at Kinleigh Folkard & Hayward’s Crystal Palace branch

Last autumn through to the end of the year saw balance return to the market. With more properties on the market, buyers had more choice. Expect this more moderate market to continue in 2015, with a lull prior to and following the May general election, as many will wait to see how interest rates and other aspects of the property market will be affected.

In addition, with demand being one of the key factors that typically influence the sales market, combined with the high levels of available stock we are currently seeing, the market should continue to be appealing for buyers.

Be inspired by park life at modern Dulwich home A

uthor and art critic John Ruskin, who lived at Herne Hill, and his Victorian contemporary the poet Robert Browning, whose home was in Camberwell, were both inspired by the wonders of nature at Dulwich Wood.

Nearby Dulwich Park, which opened its gates in 1890, was previously farmland and a group of meadows known as Five Fields. Many of the ancient boundary oaks are still standing today.

Queen Mary, wife of George V and the present Queen’s grandmother, was a regular visitor to the park and particularly enjoyed the American Garden, famous for its rhododendrons. One of the park gates is named after her.

A grand five-bedroom contemporary house in sought-after Alleyn Park is handy for both Dulwich Park and Dulwich Wood, and has its own spectacular 140ft garden that includes a swimming pool.

Inside living space of more than 2632 sq ft is arranged on three floors and features high quality fixtures and fittings. The ground floor contains three reception rooms, a kitchen and the master bedroom, and the upper floor has four more bedrooms, an office and a study. The property also offers off-street parking.

Dulwich Preparatory School is nearby, and the nearest stations are Sydenham Hill, West Dulwich and Gipsy Hill. Lordship Lane and Crystal Palace are also within easy reach. Refurbished in 2006, Dulwich Park’s 29 hectares offer historic features, picnic spots and a large children’s playground.

High-tech Victoriana The man who wanted to have fun building a futuristic house explains his golden touch to Jenny Knight.

P

repare to weep, all you south Londoners staggering under the weight of enormous mortgages. When Edward Kalfayan bought his house in Wimbledon aged 22, it cost just £4750.

He was studying mathematics and engineering science at Oxford – living on a grant and tiny scholarship but his 20-year mortgage was covered by rent from three tenants occupying part of the house in Clifton Road.

Times and prices change but Edward, now 86, hasn’t lost his touch with property.

He decided to build a second house in part of the large garden and retained architect Brian Smith, known for his recreation of the style of the distinctive Victorian villas in nearby Castlenau Road, Barnes.

Edward says: “Brian specialises in London stock brick in 1840s style. I wanted the house to be in harmony with the surroundings, not an incongruous sort of new build.”

Smith drew up plans for a handsome four-bedroom house but was shocked when Edward told him that a high-tech house would be concealed behind the Victorian façade.

“As a futurist I wanted to have fun. I dismissed windpower, solar panels and heat exchange and settled on condensing boilers because sadly fuel cell technology

for domestic use is still not yet available.

“Instead I went in for high insulation with a Scandinavian-style timber-framed structure. The architect was reluctant because he had never used this before. The frame came down on an enormous articulated lorry and went up in a day.”

Misgivings were unnecessary because the house where Edward lives with his wife Angela, a head teacher, is a total success. There is a kitchen with windows that catch the morning light and also the setting sun with an eat-in conservatory attached. The basement contains a sizeable cinema room and a self-contained flat with a separate entrance.

A ventilation unit filters dust and pollen, changing the air every 48 hours. There is a high-security burglar alarm system with cameras recording all that goes on around the outside of the house.

He says: “I used only top quality materials. There is parquet flooring throughout and under-floor heating.

Normally the temperature from the hot water would damage the floors but because there is so little heat loss the water temperature can be much lower. “ The kitchen has three ovens, including a self-cleaning one that incinerates spills and a lava grill with 10

Do you really think that all estate agents are the same?

Well actually you are probably right, more or less. Even though some big estate agent chains insist that they are more caring, or more passionate or more local!

At Sheraton Law we get great results, and have done so for over the 30 years that we have been dealing with properties around Clapham, Battersea, Balham and Brixton.

We really do believe in courtesy and integrity coupled with a tailored personal service; so why not choose a truly local agent who is caring and passionate about what they do but doesn’t have an expensive commission fuelled corporate culture.

Earlsfield.

What and where was your first London home?

I grew up in Wimbledon Park and have always lived close by.

Favourite open space in London?

Wimbledon Common is stunning in all seasons. I spend many Sunday afternoons getting lost as my husky, Milo, leads me on his walks.

What do you consider your greatest achievement?

Teaching myself to play the guitar, which my flatmates thoroughly enjoyed every moment of.

If you could edit your past, what would you change?

I would’ve learnt lots of languages, including Mandarin, when I was younger. After two years of Spanish lessons, I’ve realised it’s much more difficult with ageing brain cells.

New homes update Special report by Clive Moon, head of Savills Wimbledon

2

014 was another positive year for Savills Wimbledon, albeit with a trickier market than we saw in 2013. The recent stamp duty reform has been very positive news for first-time buyers and second steppers, and although prime properties are seeing increases in their stamp duty tax, we do expect buyers to adjust to the new costs and for this to be absorbed by the market in the long term.

There will of course be some uncertainty ahead of the general election in the coming months, but we’ve already seen a busy start to the year with people keen to continue investing in London property. Furthermore, Savills Research currently predicts growth of over 20 per cent in Wimbledon by 2019.

With London’s population reaching its peak in January 2015 and set to continue to grow more, new homes are becoming ever more important to meet housing demand in the capital. In Wimbledon, there are a number of new developments currently available, three of which all offer exceptional family homes completed to the highest standard.

One of the newest developments on our patch is Petersgate, an outstanding collection by Cala Homes

on the Coombe Estate. The four properties will offer spacious family homes, some overlooking Coombe Wood golf course. The fabulous accommodation is split over three levels including garages and beautiful landscaped gardens.

Next up, Wimbledon Hill Park is an exceptional residential development by Berkeley Homes. This multiunit scheme is a redesign of the former Atkinson Morley Hospital and is made up of a number of apartments and houses within the former Victorian hospital building and grounds. The superbly appointed, individually designed houses and apartments are complemented by grand architecture, elegant interiors and stunning landscaping.

Only three of the eight are still on the market.

Finally, a second local development by Berkeley Homes is Marryat Place, where we’ve already sold three of the six homes close to Wimbledon Village. These wonderful five-bedroom, semi-detached houses offer excellent and stylish accommodation over four levels.

The development enjoys a great location close to the All England Tennis Club and the homes have been meticulously designed.

Rate rise delay

£

Increase is pushed beyond the horizon, reports Duncan Farmer

conomists are quoting no base rate rise until November this year – very different to the picture being painted last year.

It is important to plan ahead and consider what you will do when interest rates do rise: could you cope with higher mortgage payments? If the answer is no, it makes sense to opt for a fixed-rate mortgage, particularly as rates are so cheap. While twoyear fixed rates are lower than their five-year equivalents, it might make sense to opt for the latter.

Although interest rate rises in the next couple of years are expected, the outlook is far less certain over the longer term and a five-year fixed rate will give you security. If you opt for a two-year fix you will need to remortgage at a time when rates could be rising, which may be expensive.

While five-year fixes look very competitive, it is important not to fix for longer than you are absolutely sure about or you will face a hefty early repayment charge to exit the deal before the end of the fixed term.

money tip

T

he falling oil price has brought excellent news to motorists, seeing prices at the pumps tumble from about £1.40 a litre to a little over £1 in less than six weeks.

It is also likely to bring down the cost of air travel and, added to the fall in the value of the euro prompted by worries about Greece, will mean this year’s summer holidays should be considerably cheaper.

Another benefit for homeowners and buyers is that, yet again, it pushes the prospect of a rise in interest rates a little bit further beyond the horizon, with some analysts now saying that will happen next year rather than late this year.

Once again, the big lenders are cutting the cost of their five-year fixed-rate loans – a key indicator that rates are unlikely to rise in the short or even medium term.

First Direct, for example, has cut its five-year rate to 2.39 per cent for buyers with 35 per cent deposit. The one catch is that it comes with a hefty arrangement fee of £1450, but for anyone borrowing more than about £200,000 this still makes it very good value.

Mark Harris SPF Private Clients

Borrowers looking for a smaller loan could save themselves a few pounds by going for HSBC’s five-year mortgage, which has a slightly higher rate, 2.48 per cent, but a lower arrangement fee, £999.

As with First Direct, the HSBC loan is for borrowers with a 35 per cent deposit.

Ironically, First Direct is a brand of HSBC. It would be very surprising if other lenders did not follow these banks’ lead and, if not undercutting their rates at least matching them or offering mortgages with a higher loan-to-value ratio or lower arrangement fees.

It is accepted that the market will slow down this year – and the falling price and low euro will make London, particularly, less attractive and affordable to overseas buyers – so mortgage lenders will be working harder to attract homegrown buyers.

Other good news is that after several years of stagnant wage levels, most economists are already reporting a growth in pay and are forecasting average salary increases of about three per cent this year, so while the cost of borrowing is still falling, the income borrowers have is also rising.

First-timers rise

Mansion hope

The number of first-time buyers has risen dramatically even though house prices also climbed steeply last year. According to figures from Halifax, the country’s biggest mortgage lender, 326,000 people bought their first home last year, the highest number since the credit crunch bit in 2007, and 22 per cent higher than in 2013.

The main reasons behind the surge were low mortgage rates, better job prospects and government schemes such as Help to Buy, which allow young people with small deposits to get on the housing ladder.

Halifax said the size of the average deposit fell by 7 per cent during the year.

In 2014, first-time buyers typically had to find a down payment of £29,218 compared with £31,582 the year before.

And they spent a smaller proportion of their income on the mortgage than in previous years, thanks to lower borrowing rates.

In the third quarter of 2014, first-time buyers were spending an average of 32 per cent of their disposable incomes on paying the mortgage, according to the Halifax. That compares with 50 per cent of their incomes back in 2007.

The general election in May is likely to dominate the headlines for the next three months – and beyond that if there is no overall winner.

One policy likely to cause some sleepless nights in London is Ed Miliband’s plan to impose a so-called mansion tax on homes worth more than £2 million. A recent headline suggested that the money this raises would all be used to pay for an extra 1000 nurses in Scotland. That alone is likely to worry English Labour MPs fearful of losing their seat, but the policy has already come under fire from senior Labour figures, who believe it is unfair and unlikely to raise a significant sum.

One other hope for homeowners likely to be caught in this bracket is that if there is a hung parliament and Miliband is seeking allies, the mansion tax will be the first casualty of negotiations.

Upstairs there are five double bedrooms and two bathrooms as well as a guest loo on the ground floor.

One of the bedrooms would easily make a perfect office or library/music room as it opens on to a first floor conservatory and roof terrace overlooking the rear garden. This is a most unusual feature not found in any other properties locally and has been cleverly blended to the original house to look as though it has always been there.

Practical features include fitted closets, a utility room and a substantial side store off the kitchen – perfect for keeping bikes and wellies and other outdoor paraphernalia out of sight.

The ground floor is ideal for entertaining either informally in the quarry tiled and shaker style kitchen/ breakfast room area or more traditionally in the large dining room leading off it which has French windows to the garden as well as a large fireplace, wooden parquet floors and a fine plasterwork ceiling. There are tall double doors opening to the wide front reception room with its handsome large sash bay window and paired fireplace and ceilings.

Externally there is scope to extend the property into a side return or build a conservatory without detracting from the 62 ft. rear garden. The front has a mature trailing wisteria and attractive spring flowering shrubs and trees as well as a generous off street parking space.

Kitchen doors lead to WW2 bunker T

his fascinating detached Victorian house in a nothrough-road in Wimbledon is less than half a mile from the 10 platforms of Wimbledon’s National Rail, Tube and Tramlink station.

Herbert Street in central Wimbledon is divided into two parts, and the property stands at the end of the lower section, next to the Edwardian brick-and-stone basilica of St Andrew’s Church, which was designed by William Henry Lowdell and consecrated by the Bishop of Southwark in 1909.

The updated 24ft family kitchen contains stripped and polished wooden floorboards and bi-folding doors into the 80ft east-facing garden. A patio and al fresco dining area at the top of the garden leads to a real conversation piece in the middle: a Second World War bunker. The long lawn, bordered by ornamental trees, has a more typical garden shed at the bottom.

The bedrooms are all doubles and there are two ground floor reception rooms and a study. Total inside living space is almost 1900 sq ft on three floors, and one of the bedrooms takes up the entire top level.

Wimbledon station will take you to central London in 17 minutes with services every five minutes.

Complete package A

recently refurbished Victorian house in one of the Toast Rack streets on the edge of Wandsworth Common has off-street parking and a large, landscaped, south-facing garden.

A spectacular contemporary kitchen and dining room features curved folding glass doors that open out into the 56ft garden, which contains a play area, lawn, and a raised paved terrace for alfresco dining. Surrounding greenery includes a couple of palm trees.

At the front of the house in Nicosia Road, a formal drawing room has an elegant fireplace and its original intricate ceiling plasterwork. Bi-folding doors flow into a second reception fitted with bespoke shelving and useful cupboards.

Sam Sproston, head of Knight Frank Wandsworth, said: “When looking at the location of this house, some would argue that it is on the right side in the best part – middle – of one of the prettiest roads in the Toast Rack.

The house also has a family friendly layout and off-street

parking. So maybe it’s the complete Wandsworth package.”

The 2776 sq ft home has five bedrooms, three receptions and four bathrooms, and a large cellar could be extended to create more living space.

ADVERTISING FEATURE

Exquisite home C

onveniently located at the top corner of the beautiful Peckham Rye Park this exquisite home is one of two large houses on Cheltenham Road that are the oldest and most solid in the area. The completely modernised ground floor combines practical living/eating/cooking space with tranquil space for relaxation in an area that faces a private rear garden.

Through cleverly situated sloping French windows the garden is quite literally brought into the home. The kitchen area has been opened up to lead to a utility room and shower room discreetly placed away from living space so that sound from utilities are kept to a minimum. There is an additional large reception room at the front of the house, allowing fervent film-watchers to remain undisturbed. Golden maple insulated floorboards give a warmth to the whole area, walls are painted in contemporary greys and spaces are gloriously uncluttered and beautifully light.

Upstairs are two large bedrooms and a particularly roomy bathroom with maple floors and two additional skylights. The attic conversion has created a huge bedroom, which was previously arranged as two double bedrooms. Again beautiful skylights grace the space and there is additional storage space under the eaves.

The Aquarius Golf Course is located in front of the house and Stuart Road Allotments sit behind it. London’s first co-operatively-owned pub, The Ivy House is your local and hosts music, comedy and stocks locally-brewed beer. Nunhead’s high street has a superb fishmonger, delicatessen, bakery, bike shop, mini-mart and couple of vintage shops. Nunhead Green and high street received improvement funding, there are many interesting film, art and food festivals in Nunhead and you’re within walking distance to East Dulwich, Peckham, Bellenden Road, Honor Oak and, if you like walking, Brockley from here.

Honor Oak trains go to London Bridge and Victoria plus have London Overground services to Canada Water, Shoreditch, Hoxton, Dalston Junction and Highbury & Islington. Crofton Park has services to Peckham Rye (for connecting London Overground links), Elephant & Castle (Northern Line links), Blackfriars, City Thameslink, Farringdon and St Pancras.

Significant farmhouse D

ating from the 16th century and said to be the second oldest house in Burgess Hill, Theobalds Farm is a magnificent West Sussex farmhouse.

Its Grade II* status describes a ‘particularly important building of more than special interest’.

Numerous additions have evolved with the architectural fashions of the times. Particularly impressive is the 17th century western wing and its facade of mathematical tiles and symmetrical sash windows with redbrick window dressings – typical of the Georgian era.

The eight-bedroom property stands in a private road in enclosed grounds of an acre and a half, less than a mile from Wivelsfield mainline railway station, 52 minutes from London Bridge or Victoria.

Internally, generous living space of 5350 sq ft is arranged on four floors including a cellar. High ceilings throughout show that the property was once a particularly important house.

The current owner has sympathetically modernised the home, retaining many fine period features including exposed timbers, original brick and oak floors, two inglenook fireplaces and a number of original doors – some with thumb latches and some with elegant fan lights over.

An original front door, studded with the date 1627, opens to the entrance hall and inner hallway, off which lies most of the ground floor space including three formal reception rooms and a study.

The kitchen and breakfast room is fitted with Clive Christian units with polished granite worktops, an Alpha two-oven range and integrated Miele appliances including an additional oven and four-ring hob.

A barn games room – a former forge – has excellent conversion potential, and the property includes a garage, former stable, potting shed and two ponds.

countryview Special report by Richard Smith, head of Residential Sales at Savills Sevenoaks

A

t Savills Sevenoaks we continue to see demand for properties near good schools with access to Sevenoaks station and the good road network. With Savills predicting house price increases of 26.4 per cent in the South East over the next five years, we expect to see people wanting to upsize as well as downsize as once again they see property as a sound investment.

The changes to stamp duty announced in the Autumn Statement in December will be welcome news for many buyers, especially those trying to get a foot on the property ladder or taking the next step to trade up. A significant number of buyers will now be paying less stamp duty. The cliff edges of past thresholds have been removed resulting in more gradual increases at the upper end of the market.

We anticipate good trading conditions during the first quarter in 2015. By getting on the market as soon as possible, you’ll be able to take advantage of active buyers still looking. We have a long list of buyers looking to move into the area who are eager to view any new property coming to the market.

Buyers are making decisions earlier in the year as they make plans to move for the next academic year. Going early to the market has obvious advantages, particularly with the election coming up.

Properties that are well presented are more likely to secure an early sale by a motivated buyer. Here are some top tips for sellers: •

Think like a prospective buyer approaching your home and make necessary improvements to your property’s kerb appeal. This can be as simple as cutting hedges, painting the front door or replacing fences.

•

For viewings, make sure your home is calm and clutter-free to welcome buyers, and in the winter create a warm, cosy environment.

•

If it’s cold when buyers are coming to view, make sure heaters are on an hour before anyone comes round.

Country vibe Natasha Selbie of Savills Tunbridge Wells takes South on a guided tour of her territory MAIN ATTRACTIONS Tunbridge Wells and its immediate surrounds offer the best town and country houses to suit all requirements. Buyers aspire to the high quality of family life with good commuting, convenient road and rail links, excellent sporting and leisure facilities and a superb choice of schools including state, private and, in particular, the sought-after Kent grammars.

House styles vary from the historic Regency elegance of the Tunbridge Wells Parks to the beamy 17th century, Georgian and Victorian farmhouses and cottages in the villages, magnificent rural country estates, equestrian properties and many striking individual contemporary houses.

The local area offers a plethora of cultural activities including theatres, clubs, churches, museums, art galleries, National Trust properties and charming individual shops. The coast is easily accessible and outdoor life can be enjoyed in the many town parks including the magnificently restored Dunorlan, while Bewl Water, Bedgebury Pinetum, Ashdown Forest and a large network of footpaths can be found just a short distance out of town.

Buyers in the area often move out from London and the suburbs to enjoy a more relaxing lifestyle and many expats and international buyers find Tunbridge Wells a convenient and fulfilling base.

SHOPPING Major retailers are represented in the Royal Victoria Place, meeting up with smaller, boutiquestyle shops in the High Street area.

Tunbridge Wells is also well known for The Pantiles, a colonnaded walkway dating back to the Georgian era when Tunbridge Wells was famed for its Chalybeate Spring waters. The Pantiles now includes unique specialist shops, boutiques, antique shops, Rosemary Shrager’s Cookery School, The Old Fish Market Champagne and Seafood bar, pubs, cafes and restaurants.

TOP STREETS Known locally as The Parks, the top streets are Calverley Park, Hungershall Park, Nevill Park, and Camden Park. Here you will find period properties such as exquisite Victorian villas with wonderful views and also Grade II and II-star-listed Regency houses.

RESTAURANTS AND PUBS A huge variety of restaurants in Tunbridge Wells includes the family owned Sankey’s Seafood Brasserie on Mount Ephraim; Hotel Du Vin & Bistro, the Black Pig Pub and Dining Room for great, simple food in smart surrounds; and Thackeray’s – Michelin-star modern French cuisine in a stunning Grade II-listed building.

LEISURE The town centre has a number of spas, fitness and leisure centres. We also have Tunbridge Wells and Nevill golf clubs, Tunbridge Wells Lawn Tennis Club, and the cricket club. Further afield are Ashdown Forest, Bedgebury Pinetum, and Bewl Water Country Park offering sailing, fishing, riding and a host of family activities. There are numerous National Trust properties to visit, and Lingfield Park Racecourse is nearby.

SCHOOLS An excellent choice of private and state primary and secondary schools includes: Tunbridge Wells Girls’ Grammar, The Skinners’ School, Judd and Tonbridge Grammar School.

Private schools include Holmewood House, Rose Hill, Beechwood Sacred Heart, St Leonards-Mayfield School, Sevenoaks and Tonbridge.

TRANSPORT Tunbridge Wells train station has regular services to London Bridge, Waterloo East, Cannon Street and Charing Cross in less than an hour.

There is easy access to the M25, M20 and the Channel Tunnel.

Luxury at the heart of Coombe Park M

orton House is a contemporary, architect-designed, detached & gated residence situated in exclusive Coombe Park; a quiet and mature tree lined private estate in one of the most desirable private roads and sought after area, in the Royal Borough of Kingston.

Set back from the road, the property is accessed via electric gates, where there is parking for several vehicles with planning granted for a detached triple garage.

This is an impressive six/seven bedroom house of over six thousand sq metres set in landscaped grounds of approximate 0.6 acres, with accommodation over three floors centred around a stunning staircase with generously proportioned and bright accommodation throughout.

Light streams into this house because of the great glass windows in the stairwell and the feeling of spaciousness is emphasised by the open tread stairs and glass balustrades, and an awe-inspiring reception hall, with a double-height glass wall at one end.

The beautifully designed kitchen/breakfast/family room along with the elegant dining hall are spectacular entertaining spaces especially in the summer months, as the whole back of the house can be opened right up by two sets of bi-fold doors providing a panoramic view over the rear garden and sun terraces.

And if this is not enough space, planning has also been submitted to further enlarge the property by adding basement facilities such as an indoor pool complex, gym, cinema, nanny suite and underground parking.

Morton House is just a few minutes’ drive from Wimbledon, Richmond and Kingston town centre; it is exceptionally well positioned for family living in a peaceful area, with good schools, as well as Kingston and Roehampton universities, on the doorstep.

The A3 is within 5 minutes reach of the property and provide quick and easy access to London, Guildford and both Heathrow and Gatwick airports. ÂŁ4,750,000, Chewton Rose 01932 576600, cobham@chewtonrose.co.uk

Architect designed

A

n architect designed home in a peaceful setting close to Wandsworth Common has been superbly refurbished with bespoke fixtures and fittings.

A sensational kitchen and family room has bifolding doors into the 77ft lawned garden, and a double reception has high ceilings, wooden floors and an integrated Sonos music system.

The lower ground floor has a self-contained flat ideal for a live-in housekeeper or au pair, and the six-bedroom house in Wandle Road also offers a steam room, cinema room, gym space and wine store.

Special report by Rachel Hanniquet-Brooking, lettings manager at Hamptons Balham

C

onditions in the rental market saw the first significant change in 2014 since 2012. The fine balance between supply and demand that has kept the growth of rents in line with inflation over the last couple of years shifted.

Demand increased and available stock fell. The number of new applicants registering to rent was 25 per cent up in October 2014 compared to the previous year, and stock levels were down 15 per cent.

Clapham, Balham, Battersea and Wandsworth have always been a magnet for younger people starting their careers. The stronger economic recovery in the South means that this

has continued to generate demand in the rental market, but as expectations of future house price growth have shifted, more landlords are choosing to sell, reducing the available stock and ultimately pushing up rents.

Forty per cent more landlords ended tenancies in order to sell their property in 2014 than in 2013. This means that nearly one in 10 tenancies that ended in 2014 resulted in the landlord selling.

This shift in the market means that in the short-to-medium term the growth in rental prices for new lets is likely to exceed wage growth.

the last word Judy Urmossy, sales manager at Kinleigh Folkard & Hayward Putney Hill, has the final say

Tell us how you joined the property industry and briefly describe your career history to date.

Working in property was not something I had considered until a friend suggested it.

In 2001 I joined a small independent firm as a negotiator and loved it. The following year I secured a position at KFH’s Southfields branch, and four years later I was promoted to sales manager at Putney Hill.

Describe the biggest challenges you face on a day-to-day basis.

Keeping a buyer’s mind open to what they are looking for is essential. We all have a dream home but sometimes a property you would never have considered might turn out to be the perfect place.

What advice would you give to anyone considering a career in estate agency?

Be able to think on your feet and keep smiling. Enjoy meeting new people from all walks of life and be passionate about customer service. Having a competitive streak and a thick skin helps too. We are right up there with bankers in the popularity stakes.

How difficult is the current market for homebuyers, and what advice do you give them?

This market is actually much better for buyers now compared with early 2014. There is more available stock and buyers have more time to make an informed decision. My advice

would be to act quickly and don’t try to play the market. If you like something, chances are that someone else does too.

What are your predictions for the sales market in South London for the next few years?

The South London market will see steady growth over the next few years. Property is still the safest investment in my opinion, and in the long term you should see a good return. This year will be different to the heady days of last year with reduced activity levels, more stable prices and some uncertainty due to the May general election.

If you were Prime Minister for the day, what would you change or what new measures would you introduce?

I would like to see more commitment once someone has had an offer agreed on a property. For families, the buying/selling processes becomes very complicated when someone pulls out from a sale as this causes their lives to be put on hold and disrupts the onward chain.

Where, in your view, is the best place to live south of the river and why?

Putney, of course! We’re right by the Thames, have good transport links, a variety of property types and a close community. We’re also near to central London and have easy access via rail or road to the country.

If you were not an estate agent, what career would you choose and why?

My mother took me to see Liza Minnelli in concert when I was younger and I was mesmerised. I would love to be on the stage singing and dancing in a chorus line. The absence of any talent whatsoever might be a small handicap, not to mention I am rather shy. However, I do feel inside me there is a high-kicking extrovert screaming to be let out.

Haldon Road, Wandsworth, SW18 £1,250,000 Freehold A well presented, four bedroom, three bathroom period house offering 1,800sqft of space. The property has a spacious kitchen/ dining area which leads out onto the patio.
