Q
What are you top tips for maximising a property’s kerb appeal?
L T O P
Jonathan Lloyd-Ham, area sales manager for Field & Sons in Kennington, replies ...
F
irst impressions count and some houses just have natural kerb appeal. A pretty wisteria-clad Georgian house on a tree-lined road, for example, will always whet the buyer’s appetite, even if it’s a little run-down. Other houses need a little help to spark a buyer’s interest. Simple things like making sure the front garden is neat and well presented, even a few flower and plants in pots will lift the appearance. Make sure the gate, walls or railings are in good condition and the path weeded, and a nicely painted front door with good door furniture will put buyers in a positive frame of mind before they’ve entered the house – it can help sell it too. Stow wheelie bins away from the front door – it’s a real no-no to have to manoeuvre around an overflowing bin. Buyers always look for evidence that the house has been well maintained, and any sign that they will need to spend money may put them off or think they can start knocking down the asking price. Windows look sad when they are dirty, so make sure yours are clean. Likewise rotten window frames with peeling paint are an instant barrier with buyers: all they think of is the expense. If the windows have been replaced, make sure they are appropriate with the design and period of the rest of the house. Lastly, don’t let the house next door ruin the first impression of your own. If the neighbours have rubbish outside, have a quick word and suggest it’s removed. Likewise an untidy neighbouring hedge can be trimmed just as quickly if you’re trimming your own hedge, and it will make all the difference. www.fieldandsons.co.uk

MARKETVIEW What’s next for the housing market? Jenny Knight sounds out the experts following the Tory election victory.
P
AM
WHA STRE T’SHO ATH T:
ost-election there was a dramatic flurry of deals in the luxury property market in central London, but in the less frenzied market of South London the result was taken more calmly. Dominic Pasqua, of Knight Frank, Wimbledon Village, says: “Several short-term outcomes are likely. First, a number of transactions that had been put on hold pending the outcome of the vote will proceed as the risk of further property taxation appears to be less of an immediate threat and a wider sense of political uncertainty has reduced. “This ‘unblocking’ of the market is likely to be accompanied by a hardening of expectations on the part of vendors in relation to asking prices. Political risk has faded and some will expect prices to rise as a result. In the short-term, however, the impact on pricing is likely to be less marked than some expect. “The second reason is that the increase in supply is likely to exceed any immediate uptick in demand.” Knight Frank had forecast zero growth in 2015 in prime central London and 3 per cent in prime outer London, figures that will be reassessed as the year progresses. Lucian Cook, head of residential research at Savills, says: “We expect much of the deferred demand from the pre-election period to flow back into the prime market over the remainder of 2015 and 2016, particularly given that the threat of a mansion tax is now removed from the market. “Improvements in the London market are likely to be sufficient to trigger a renewed ripple effect into the markets beyond the capital, as those relocating from London find it easier to sell their existing home and take advantage of the price differentials with the rest of the country.” Robert Bartlett, Group CEO of Chestertons, says: “No one predicted such a clear-cut result, so homeowners and landlords can be forgiven for feeling in the dark as to which way to jump. “A mansion tax on homes worth more than £2 million would have disproportionally penalised Londoners. Now the spectre of political uncertainty has finally lifted and we can all move on. We are predicting the next few months will be very busy indeed. “There are still issues to be addressed in the property sector in London, not least the need to boost housing supply, make the rental market more transparent and unlocking opportunities for regeneration through a joinedup approach to planning and infrastructure delivery.”

THE WORD Special report by Matthew Smith, head of Knight Frank Riverside

A
ctivity levels, since the election result was announced, have been considerably higher than any in the last eight months. Most notably, the willingness of buyers to offer the asking price on property that previously has struggled to achieve average viewing levels is pleasing for sellers. Some feel so confident that the market is swinging in the direction that favours them, that they have requested advice on whether to increase their guide prices. This can be a dangerous game and will be likely to cause a period of frustrating adjustment, if it becomes too frequent and contagious. Whether prices that have stagnated in the run-up to the election can gain ground overnight is questionable in a market that has also aired on the side of caution and has, not so long ago, been rocked to the core by ‘stamp-duty-land-tax-gate’. However, most sellers, its seems, remain motivated to sell their properties at market value, and the market for us has turned into a very positive one, with a database of buyers eager to get on with their lives after waiting for the election Guide price £1.8m result and the mood of the market to be revealed. Excellent Surrey views are delivered at this superb We have some excellent stock to offer buyers, both on and off the market. five-bedroom house in Warwicks Bench, Guildford.

While we always have a summer lull in August, as those that can head for the coast or countryside, the amount of deals that get agreed just after the August bank holiday always surprises me. Perhaps it’s relaxing by the pool with an iPad and Onthemarket. com that does it. We see a lot of property now, in June and July, that will come to the market in September and we are always happy to chat with you, to talk about possibilities and to get you ready for a move in September, so you can be in by Christmas. Did I just write the word ‘Christmas’? That must not be mentioned again until after Halloween at the earliest. Being an estate agent is an exciting and challenging profession that keeps one on one’s toes. Being a good estate agent, that people trust and like, is very rewarding and running a team of great estate agents is what makes my job so enjoyable. No matter how thrilling the job can be, we never forget how stressful buying, selling and moving is for our clients and applicants.

Franco Manca 76 Northcote Road SW11 • 020 7924 3110 Where? Luckily about two minutes’ walk from my office. What’s it like? Being a fairly new father, eating out is usually a pretty casual affair and Franco Manca is ideal for accommodating kids. I love the laid-back nature, friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere. And the food? I’m a sucker for a good quality pizza. Their sourdough base is fantastic and the pizza choices are minimal but always delicious. As with all good pizza, the cooking takes no time at all, ideal for a quick lunchtime bite or a slightly more relaxed (dependant on my 14-month-old daughter) weekend treat.

NOW THE THREAT OF A MANSION TAX HAS LIFTED, IS IT BOOM TIME AGAIN FOR PROPERTY PRICES? SAM SPROSTON KNIGHT FRANK WANDSWORTH
I’m not convinced there will be a boom anytime soon. We also have to consider that mansion tax was only for houses over £2m and the stamp duty hike in 2014 has not had time to be properly market tested – the election diverted most of the attention away from it. With the fact that many homeowners delayed selling their houses until after the election, we are likely to see a small increase in the number of houses available. If there is more supply, price growth is more moderate. We expect prices to continue to edge up and our latest research quotes 3 per cent growth this year and 5 per cent a year thereafter until 2019. At the end of the day, it usually comes down to demand and supply.
FELICITY BLAIR ROY BROOKS The Conservative election win brought a sigh of relief to all who feared a mansion tax. Rightmove figures show that in South London, 75 £2m-plus properties were launched onto the market in the four weeks after the election, compared to 100 in the first five months of the year. We’ve seen a sharp upturn in new instructions as confidence has returned across the market, and we have buyers desperate to secure homes for fear of prices running upwards too fast for them. But while the mansion tax saves wealthier homeowners an annual charge, the new stamp duty rules mean that buyers looking above a million are paying a lot more stamp duty than before. Prime central London needs to remain an attractive offer to overseas buyers and as long as prices grow steadily, London can continue to attract the investment it needs without pushing communities further out of town.

Knight Frank Wandsworth and Knight Frank Clapham – two offices working closely together in a successful new partnership
S
ince Knight Frank first opened its doors in 1896, we have become the world’s largest privately owned global property agency and consultancy. We have invested heavily to ensure we have the best, most technologically advanced systems in place, which enable us to source the best possible buyers. However, we rely heavily on our well-honed own agency skills. The benefit to working in a partnership is that we are all aware of the bigger picture. If a buyer is looking in Clapham, we will enquire if they would also look at Wandsworth, Battersea, Wimbledon or overseas. Our agents are able to cross-sell in all areas and are rewarded for it: our Wandsworth agents often sell Clapham property and vice versa. We are several teams striving to work as one, and while we are a large global brand, we understand local grass roots agency.
SAM SPROSTON, HEAD OF KNIGHT FRANK WANDSWORTH: “Rob and I met through his role in the Battersea and Riverside department. With me based at Wandsworth, we used to – and still do – go on joint valuations so that clients can see that Knight Frank has a joined-up network and not just lots of offices. I know plenty of multi-office agencies that ring-fence their buyers and effectively work independently from each other. I started my career in Clapham Old Town, so it is with great pride that I see our firm’s latest edition to the other 26 London offices there.” ROB FRENCH, HEAD OF KNIGHT FRANK CLAPHAM: “We both understand and promote the core beliefs of Knight Frank, and our clients are already seeing the benefits of two offices working so closely together. Wandsworth office had already had great successes in Clapham and as a firm we have traded in the borough since 1984. We have a partnership culture here which puts our clients first. This area is all about the residents. It is a family area and one that we all know and understand. Our firm delivers a local agent perspective but with the power of a global heavyweight’s infrastructure behind it. The best of both worlds.”

DOGGONE LOVELY E
very aspirational family in possession of a high-spec home and a nicely bred Labrador must be in need of a posh dog bed. A scruffy old bed shedding hairs and mud just doesn’t go with gleaming granite units of top-of-the-range kitchens, so Princess Katalin zu Windischgraetz has come to the rescue of stylish south Londoners with a range of exquisitely tasteful dog beds. The Hungarian-born royal was in London recently to launch her luxury dog furniture, priced from £949. For that money the pooch gets a bed with a memory foam mattress to relieve pressure, together with ventilated side rests - because man’s best friend can be a bit whiffy. The bespoke hand-crafted furniture including beds, sofas and toy boxes will blend with any interior design scheme, from 16th Century Baroque to contemporary styles. The princess says: “It wasn’t long before pet owners in my social circle asked me to design furniture for their animals, to match the decoration of their homes. My buyers are generally owners of exclusive estates who appreciate quality above all, whilst combining a high standard of hygiene with absolute comfort for their pet.” www.kzw-petinterior.com
>>BURNING BRIGHT Tiger has more than 400 stores worldwide with 48 already open in the UK. One of the newest is in Putney. Full of fun, funky and useful things for the home that won’t bust a budget, the colourful shops are cheering up our high street experience. >>MAKING AN IMPRESSION Painterly pieces with free-form bursts of vibrant colour create an energetic, modernist vibe. On rugs, cushions and china - dabble in daubs. (Cushion from Marks & Spencer.) >>WHAT COMES NATURALLY Organic materials - grasses, wood, stone, cork and marble bring the outside in. Marble’s a luxury material beloved of upmarket interior designers in to-die-for bathrooms but it’s also a cool look for anywhere in the home right now. >>BRIGHT IDEA Bring some sunshine into your home. Yellow is the perfect accent colour for a modern, cool, neutral decor - so accessorise to your heart’s content. (Pineapple candle from Oliver Bonas.)
>>HARD NEWS According to the RHS, a quarter of British front gardens have no plants or grass. It was one in 10 a decade ago. That’s an extra 15m square miles covered in concrete, paving slabs or gravel. Green home fronts would make for a cooler city in summer and a less grey place to live in. >>TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT... Naff is enough. It’s time to say goodbye to LOVE, HOME SWEET HOME and especially KEEP CALM (under any circumstances). Text as decor has had its day - even in its more exciting neon form.
>>FIGURE SLATING The RHS kept up their ban on gnomes this Chelsea and other friendly figures such as concrete Bhuddas should get the cold shoulder in the garden too. If you are looking for character in your borders go abstract. >>AT YOUR CONVENIENCE Hi-tech home life means heat, light and entertainment action all controlled for you at the touch of a button. Maybe the all-singing-and-dancing loo is a step too far. So much to go so badly wrong?

STRAWBERRY REVIVAL Glorious Gothic – without the ghosts or gloom. Jenny Knight talks to Felicity Hawtin.
W
ho wouldn’t want to live in a lovely period home – provided it didn’t suffer from wonky heating, eccentric plumbing and the myriad expenses associated with historic houses? Felicity Hawtin has the perfect house for lovers of Strawberry Hill Gothic revival architecture – a gem of a house complete with period details but with everything except the walls brand new. She replaced the windows, panelled doors and skirting boards with new versions exactly matching the originals. The roof tiles were removed, so the roof timbers could be replaced, and the tiles were washed and reused, using a few new replica tiles to fill the gaps. Yet the house is more than a spanking new replica of the original. A basement was dug out to create a family room and the back of the house was extended to create a spectacular kitchen and dining room with glass-panelled French doors opening onto a decked terrace overlooking the private walled 93ft garden. Felicity says: “I retained the Strawberry Hill design and put the Gothic coving back and had new sash windows made to match the old ones. I bought it last year and completely stripped everything out except for the four walls.” The project sounds a nightmare but Felicity is a veteran of house makeovers. She has her own trusted builder and says they share a sense of humour. “I don’t have a horror story. The basement took longer to dig out than I hoped but everything went well. We agreed with the neighbours to only work on Saturday mornings at the weekends and to have only one skip a day and they were fine. We had no complaints. “There was nothing wrong with the house. Most people looked at it and said it was lovely, but I knew it could be made into something even better. I have created a sympathetic new period house that a family with children and dogs can move straight into, but with more space and more light than the original. I made en suites for the bedrooms and kept all the features that make it a distinctive home. “I used neutral colours to keep everything light. I like to use my own judgement. I have experience gained from other homes I have lived in and I feel I am creative with a good sense of design.” North Side Wandsworth Common, Wandsworth, £2.65m, Knight Frank 020 8682 7777

DANCINGIN THESTREET S
treet dancers from Funky S freestyle and breakdance collective were popping, locking and roboting at the launch of three contemporary townhouses in Clapham. As drinks and canapés were served to party guests on the garden terrace, the specialist dancers showed off their amazing moves on the wooden floor of the huge open plan reception of Osbourne House on Macaulay Road. One of the three properties is the new family home of Michael Squire, founder and senior partner of architects Squire & Partners, who has lived on the road for almost 30 years. Squire & Partners designed and developed the scheme in a project led by Michael’s son and business partner Henry. Osborne House and 9 Macaulay Road, currently for sale, were launched to the market by estate agent Savills at the dance party, hosted by Robin Chatwin of Savills and Henry Squire. Drawing on the architectural language of the existing Victorian Villas, the new townhouses use traditional materials in contemporary style, offering six levels of exceptional space including six bedrooms, formal and informal living spaces and generous landscaped gardens. Contemporary open plan kitchens are set in the heart of the houses, leading to light-filled living and dining rooms that connect to the gardens via full-height doors. Squire & Partners are internationally renowned, award-winning architects known for high profile developments such as Chelsea Barracks, One Tower Bridge and The Knightsbridge. Michael Squire has ranked in a list of London’s 1000 Most Influential People, and has also been described as one of four ‘Des Res Designers’ who are the ‘go to’ architects in London for prime residential.

ilmore House at 113 Clapham Common North Side is the former home of John Walter (1739-1812), founder of The Times. A GLC blue plaque here was unveiled in 1977 by Sir Denis Hamilton, then chairman and editor-in-chief of Times Newspapers. The first issue of Walter’s newsheet, the Daily Universal Register, appeared in 1785 and it was renamed The Times three years later. Walter’s son John, born at No 113, went on to establish the newspaper as one of the world’s most influential broadsheets. Dating largely from 1763, Gilmore House is named after Deaconess Isabella Gilmore, William Morris’s sister, who lived here from 1891. It was originally one of a pair known as the Sister Houses – the other was demolished. Currently for sale at Gilmore House is a Grade II listed converted chapel, built for Isabella Gilmore in 1897 by Philip Webb of the Arts and Crafts movement. Stained glass windows are by PreRaphaelite artist and designer Edward Burne-Jones, and busts of Shakespeare and Milton are set into the front bay window. Original fixtures and fittings are now in the V&A Museum. The current owners converted the raised ground floor chapel during 2012 and 2013 to create an artist’s studio with generous and fascinating living space. A magnificent roof lantern bathes the chapel’s double-height reception and studio in natural light. Below the gallery, a hand-made contemporary kitchen has an open plan dining area and is surrounded by wooden panelling. A circular glass staircase leads up to the galleried bedroom suite, supported on steel columns and clad in timber panelling. Filigree panels along the front balustrade were inspired by Webb’s original altar table. Egyptian sandstone runs across the property, which now offers modern home comforts such as underfloor heating and electronically controlled windows.

WORK HARD, PLAY HARD Toby Turnage, Senior Negotiator at Knight Frank Wandsworth meets Jenny Knight
I
t was third time lucky for Toby Turnage when he hit upon estate agency as a career. He had abandoned his degree in hospitality management and Spanish, realising the role wasn’t for him, and then spent three enjoyable years sailing for a living, working on racing yachts or delivering yachts. He explains: “After that, I headed for London thinking I should raise the money to own my own boat.” He did work experience at Winkworth in Notting Hill and was offered a job in their Wimbledon office. Then after a brief spell working in recruitment he moved to Douglas & Gordon in Balham for six years and has now joined Knight Frank’s office on Wandsworth Common. And how near is he to buying that yacht? “You can buy a boat from a few thousand up to £20 million, so let’s say I’m nearer to the lower end of the scale,” he jokes. Toby grew up in Lymington on the edge of the New Forest and spent hours messing around in boats. Boats are still a passion, but now recently married to Victoria, who works for a property investment company, and living in Wimbledon Park, he plays tennis, cricket and practises CrossFit, the gruelling fitness, weights, gymnastics and strong man training, in Battersea Park. In the holidays he skies or enjoys kite surfing, windsurfing or yachting. With all that exercise and at 6ft 2in tall, Toby looks stronger and fitter than the average desk-jockey, which is one of the reasons that being an estate agent suits him. “I don’t like being stuck behind a desk all day and I love meeting different people. In the property industry I meet likeminded people who like to work hard and then play hard.” During his time as sales manager for Douglas & Gordon’s Nightingale Lane office, he got to know the nooks and crannies of Wandsworth better than the local postmen. He is bringing this knowledge to his new job with Knight Frank. “It was time for a change. They are a very nice bunch of people at Douglas & Gordon but it is a smaller company and doesn’t offer so much career progression as Knight Frank does. I had the option to stay in this area or move, but I live in South West London and like it here. At weekends Victoria and I might run on Wandsworth Common and stop for a coffee. “In my previous job I was selling homes priced from about £500,000 up to about £1.5 million, but for Knight Frank we start at about £1 million and go up without any ceiling. It will be interesting and more demanding selling higher value stock. People buying and selling homes worth £4 million or £5 million require a higher level of service. “It will be interesting to deal with bigger houses and gardens. I suppose I’m a bit nosey but I like looking round houses and I like meeting different people.”

FOCUS ON TOM BUTLER SALES MANAGER AT SHERATON LAW CLAPHAM
Hail
that man – he won’t take you for a ride, reports Jenny Knight
W
hen Tom Butler took on the mission to launch Sheraton Law’s new property sales office from Clapham Old Town, it was a tough call. Sheraton Law was established and trusted as a lettings service so Tom used that goodwill to penetrate the sales market, while also attracting entirely new clients. He says: “Setting up the sales department from scratch was tough but very exciting. There is a lot of competition in this area. I approached landlords and local developers and tried to be as proactive as possible. I did a mailshot to the whole area, and for a short period we charged only half a per cent commission. “Initially it was frustrating, then the first sales referral from a landlord came after two weeks and the first instruction from our mailshot, to sell a house, came after four or five weeks. In 2011, our first year, it was hard, but by 2013 we were very successful and I’m confident that will continue.” Fortunately during that period of brand building as a selling agent, Tom won a competition run by Rightmove to have a London black cab sprayed in the company’s livery for six months. He says: “It raised market awareness and even now when small children pass the office they always point to
In 2011, our first year, it was hard but by 2013 we were very successful and I’m confident that will continue. Tom Butler
DRIVINGSALES our miniature taxi cab in the window. “As an independent company we offer something a little different, and can spend a lot of time giving a good quality service. As soon as people step into the office they can see we are small and friendly. A lot of people chose a person they trust and like as their agent.” Tom says that pricing is the most important skill. An overpriced house will linger on the market while an undervalued one loses the client money. “Clients have to trust you to do your best for them. We are on the property portals including Onthemarket and Rightmove.” After taking a degree in history and hospitality, Tom worked in Dublin for a year for the major Irish agent Sherry Fitzgerald. “I lived with a friend and Dublin was great fun. I liked being an agent but they didn’t have a permanent position so I moved to Kennington with Winkworth.” After a spell working for a travel company, he committed himself to life as an estate agent, working for JacksonStops and John D Wood in Weybridge. “We were selling big expensive houses and the market moved more slowly than it did in London, so I was keen to get back to the busier pace and more vibrant life in the capital. When the position came up at Sheraton Law I was keen. “We sell more flats here so there are more fast sales. Mainly I sell property priced between £500,000 and £1 million, but in the last year or so I have started to sell a lot more three and four-bedroom houses for higher prices.”

Special report by Mark GoodeveDocker, operations director of Foxtons New Homes and Investments
NEW HOMES UPDATE
I
t was well documented that the London property market experienced subdued activity in the run-up to the election, and political uncertainty affected many buyers at the higher levels. Having said that, the new homes sector in South London remained fairly steady, with many buyers below the £1million mark benefiting from the changes in stamp duty brought in last December. South London has had a good level of new homes instructions continuously coming to the market throughout 2015 so far, with new phases having been released at all price points. There has also been an increase in house development schemes coming to the market, where historically we’ve primarily seen more apartment schemes. The supply of stock, however, still remains woefully short of the needed levels as more buyers are focusing on the South London corridors. Some of the most popular recent developments included Norwich House in Streatham, launched in April, where 47 out of the 87 available flats were already reserved one month later. The new Hero development in Wimbledon has been selling steadily since the start of the year, and is now down to the last few units available. Developments using the ‘soft launch’ approach such as Putney Rise (pictured), a Barratt Homes development, are also seeing an impressive number of units being reserved well ahead of their official launch. Looking at the exciting new developments coming soon, we are expecting a good response to the Battersea Reach development, now in its final two phases, and The Print House in Streatham, due to launch in the next couple of months. With the improvements of transport links and regeneration of ake up and smell the magnolias in this magnificent Streatham, Brixton, Wandsworth, Tooting and the ever-improving five-bedroom property, with additional staff Croydon, I expect the new homes market in South London to be accommodation, in a prime location opposite the a very exciting place for the second half of 2015, especially with Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew. mortgage rates still within the affordable brackets.

Two and three-bedroom apartments at Dukes Gardens sit within two elegant new buildings, architecturally designed to mirror the graceful proportions of the former hospital building. Each apartment features a glass balcony or terraces to maximise the views over the 19 acres of protected parkland that surrounds the development. Launching this September, Wellington Row is the prominent centrepiece of Wimbledon Hill Park: the restoration and conversion of the former hospital building into an elegant collection of two and three-bedroom apartments, duplexes and triplexes. Many of the apartments will feature original period details such as stained glass windows, traditional wood panelling and stucco pillars.

MONEYMATTERS NEGATIVE INFLATION News that inflation fell to a negative figure of minus 0.1 per cent in April led to fears that the UK was entering a period of deflation and that this was a bad thing for the economy. The good news is that if deflation continued, the Bank of England would be more likely to cut interest rates than to put them up, so the cost of borrowing would fall in the same way that petrol, clothing and food had also fallen. That said, however, Mark Carney, the Bank’s governor, does not believe deflation is here to stay, and as a result analysts believe a rate rise next year is on the cards.

Equity the average homeowner takes out of their property when they remortgage.
Homeowners who take out offset mortgages – ideal for high-net-worth borrowers.
Borrowers are taking advantage of record low mortgage rates and the signs are that these will continue to be competitive over coming months. When a record-breaking mortgage rate is pulled, it is soon replaced by an even lower one as lenders compete for business. They have ambitious targets for the year and to achieve them will have to compete on rate or loosen criteria. While many are not yet prepared to do the latter, they are tightening margins and cutting rates across the loan-to-value curve. Remortgaging numbers also continue to grow as borrowers take advantage of lower rates and improved circumstances to secure a new deal. Many people have more equity in their homes than a year or two ago, which should make it easier to remortgage. Mark Harris, SPF Private Clients

MORTGAGEHIGH Approvals rise and they look set to keep on growing, reports Duncan Farmer
M
ortgage approvals in Britain rose in April to their highest level since June last year and they look set to keep growing, according to figures from the British Bankers’ Association. Even though the general election in May appeared to have slowed house-buying activity, approvals for house purchase rose to 42,116 from 39,203 six weeks before Britain went to the polls. “There was a significant pre-election jump in mortgage approvals which we would expect to continue in the coming months,” said Richard Woolhouse, chief economist at the BBA. The BBA data are generally a good guide to trends in more comprehensive Bank of England lending, but the BBA figures do not include building societies, which account for almost a third of mortgages. Part of the increase may well have come from better deals coming onto the market. For the first time there is a ten-year fixed rate loan for less than three per cent, and borrowers need only have a 20 per cent deposit. That loan, from Barclays, has a rate of 2.99 per cent, and there is a £999 fee. It is now the only loan priced below 3 per cent after First Direct and Nationwide withdrew their 10-year deals last month, although those loans needed deposits of 35 and 40 per cent. Barclays also topped the charts briefly with a five-year rate of 1.99 per cent, but it was available last month during a two-week window only. This is not uncommon, as lenders look to grab the headlines with low rates and borrowers must act fast to get a slice of the money. The Co-operative Bank has also been active in the cut-throat, cut-rate lending market, with a two-year fix at just 1.09 per cent, but it carries a high fee – £1499 – that actually makes it more expensive in the long term than similar deals. Tesco Bank, for example, has a two-year rate at 1.89 per cent but a fee of just £195 and so it is cheaper over the term. With no end in sight to the record low Bank of England base rate, the cost of borrowing is unlikely to rise for some time, and lenders will continue to offer and withdraw good deals to buyers who are in a position to make a quick decision. Because of the variables in terms of fees – and some lenders offer other incentives such as free legal costs and valuations – it is worth taking a little time to do the sums and work out which mortgage really is the best.
Homeowners looking to remortgage and find a cheaper deal are also using the exercise to take a little bit of equity out of their home, according to the Mortgage Search Tracker from Mortgage Advice Bureau. Its research found that the typical customer looking to remortgage had a home worth £248,191 – up 7.9 per cent on last year, a rise roughly in line with annual house price inflation – giving people an extra £18,091 of property equity. Over the same period, the average remortgage rose from £119,954 to £129,023, keeping the same loan-to-value of 52 per cent, but on average taking out the difference, just over £9000, for themselves.
A beautiful home needs a beautiful mortgage Whether you are buying your first home, next home or need to remortgage, look no further than SPF Private Clients for specialist mortgage advice. Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage. There will be a fee for mortgage advice. The precise amount will depend upon your circumstances and loan amount. We estimate that the fee will be 0.67% of the amount borrowed.

STARLOCATION
L
egendary bandleader Ted Heath, the first to take a British swing band on a highly successful tour of the USA in the mid-1950s, once lived at this superb early Victorian house at the end of a quiet lane in Wimbledon. Son of a Wandsworth bandmaster, he put together an all-star band that topped the bill at the London Palladium, appeared in three Royal Variety Performances, and played on his own BBC radio show. Heath, a trombonist, entertained many guests from the music world at his Wimbledon home, and American jazz pianist and singing star Nat King Cole stayed here on numerous occasions when he was in London. Only four families – including Heath’s – have lived at the house on Copse Hill since it was first built in 1848. Standing on a secluded elevated plot of 0.7 acres, the eightbedroom property has undergone an extensive programme of modernisation and refurbishment in recent years. The ground floor has an elegant drawing room, kitchen and dining room and playroom, and the lower ground floor features a large games room, a media room and an ancillary kitchen or utility room. A terrace at the top of the south-facing garden leads to a lawn with steps down to an outdoor swimming pool and changing rooms resembling old-style bathing huts. A timber garden room is currently set up as a gym, and the gated drive provides secure off-street parking for several cars.

ith elegant and wellpreserved Georgian housing, extensive bus routes and several art galleries, Camberwell is a great place to live. It is also home to one of London’s largest teaching hospitals, King’s College, and to Camberwell Green, a small and pretty area of common land. Chuk Agudosi (pictured), sales manager at Lauristons, Kennington, says: “Camberwell has so much to offer with great housing stock, fabulous residential pockets and beautiful open spaces. It is now very much on the radar of those who were originally considering areas such as Kennington, Vauxhall and the like.” Lauristons is currently selling a handsome four-bedroom Regency house in one of Camberwell’s most sought-after locations, Champion Grove (pictured above), for £2.35m. The flexibility of this semi-detached house would easily allow it to house another bedroom. It has a double-width reception room on the ground floor and a superb 40ft kitchen/breakfast/family room on the lower ground floor, opening out onto the impressive rear garden. Lauristons recently sold another four-bedroom house in Camberwell Grove (pictured below) for the asking price of £1.7m. The stunning family home is arranged over four floors providing about 3400 sq ft of accommodation and includes a large private underground garage. From the street the house appears to be another wonderful Georgian house, but in fact the end-of-terrace home was built in 2010, to give the benefits of up-to-the-minute living encased in a period-style fabric.

tterly unique Georgian GII former coach house c.1780. Almost 1750sq.ft, 4 double bedrooms, kitchen/diner, large reception, conservatory and south-west facing garden. We’re told this is the second-oldest structure on Honor Oak Road after Ashberry Cottage. It’s certainly one of just a handful of Georgian homes in Forest Hill, built as a coach house for the manor house that once stood at the top of Canonbie Road. You enter a lovely walled courtyard at the front of the house with brick and York stone paving, established wisteria tumbling over original walls and the front of the house, pruned box, various flax and ceanothus. Inside you will find four double bedrooms, two bathrooms, two receptions (one being a sunfacing conservatory), a dining-kitchen, plenty of storage and a large outdoor shed - though not necessarily where you expect to see them. Two of the bedrooms are downstairs and both receptions are upstairs, but as the house is spliced into the hillside this makes sense, as reception doors lead out onto the lovely (roughly) 60ft square garden plot. From the raised bottom of the garden you can enjoy far-reaching views over the distant hills towards Kent, while sitting on a grape-festooned deck with a glass of wine. Monday to Friday during term time you can enjoy the chatter of children attending the most sought-after schools in the area - Fairlawn Primary. Honor Oak Park train station has regular services to London Bridge and Victoria as well as London Overground links to Canada Water, Shoreditch, Hoxton, Dalston Junction and Highbury & Islington. There are some fabulous restaurants here including a tapas bar, very good Italian, sourdough pizza restaurant and an award-winning Indian. A much-loved delicatessen is opposite the station and the prettiest church possible sits on One Tree Hill. Forest Hill has a Sainsbury’s, some great pubs and a modern swimming pool/leisure centre. Local secondary schools include Forest Hill Boys’, Sydenham Girls’, either Harris academy at Peckham Rye and independents such as St Dunstan’s College and Sydenham High with Dulwich College, Alleyn’s and JAGS being a short drive away.

tanding in glorious parkland on the site of a former Franciscan monastery, Greyfriars is a Grade II listed, Gothic-style mansion built in 1819 by Richard Stileman, Squire of Winchelsea. Among the many distinguished guests to visit this historic property in East Sussex are the late Queen Mother, Pre-Raphaelite painter Sir John Everett Millais, and Field Marshall Montgomery, who used the house as a base during the Second World War. The secluded grounds contain the picturesque Grade I listed ruins of a 13th century chapel, documented by Nikolaus Pevsner as ‘one of the most impressive examples of Franciscan architecture in England’, and protected as an ancient monument. Set in An Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with far-reaching views to the sea, this exceptional property offers more than 13,000 sq ft of space including staff accommodation, domestic offices and extensive cellars. A superb drawing room features an ornate barrelled ceiling and serves delightful southerly views over the formal garden and parkland. The original Grey Friars monastery was destroyed in the 16th century during Henry VIII’s Dissolution of the Monasteries, and only the chapel was spared. The outline of the monastery foundations can be traced on the main lawn, and the remains of the cloister walls form part of the southern formal garden surrounds. After the destruction of the monastery, four houses were built from its stone. Among the owners were highwaymen brothers George and Joseph Weston, immortalised by WM Thackeray in his unfinished novel, Denis Duval. Squire Richard Stileman bought the site in 1812.

The parish consists of two villages, Matfield and Brenchley, and two hamlets, Castle Hill and Petteridge. Surrounded by countryside, most in the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Matfield and Brenchley are both in conservation areas. Matfield grew up around its village green, which is the largest in Kent and features a large pond. SHOPS AND SERVICES Matfield has an excellent butcher that also sells vegetables, cheese and bread; a general store with newsagent, off-licence, post office and groceries; and a hairdresser. A Waitrose supermarket and Barsleys department store can be found at Paddock Wood, just over two miles away, while Tunbridge Wells offers a more comprehensive range of high street shops and facilities.

n reality Byfleet Manor is a historic estate, with an exceptional Grade II eightbedroom property, with four reception rooms, as its centrepiece. For five years Dame Maggie Smith, who plays the sharp tongued, snobbish dowager, has been filmed in the dazzling mansion, or ‘little cottage’, as Lady Violet describes it. The link with the hit show, which has attracted top viewing figures, is expected to spark interest from wealthy foreigners as well as deep-pocketed Brits. The owner Julie Hutton has decided to sell up after spending years renovating the 6000 sq ft house set in 18 acres. Historic houses are notoriously expensive to maintain but Julie has established a winning business. Her home has been used in period dramas including Cranford and Poirot, as well as Downton Abbey. The mansion built in 1686 attracts visitors from all over the world. Julie hires out the grounds for wedding receptions and lets out the west wing as well as laying on afternoon teas in the drawing room where Lady Crawley has delivered some notable put-downs to her cousin Isobel, played by Penelope Wilton. The history of Byfleet Manor goes back to the 7th century and was first recorded in 1086 in the Domesday Book. The mansion is rated one of the most attractive late 17th century houses in the country and is set in an idyllic location on the fringe of Byfleet village just over 20 miles from the centre of London and 15 miles from Heathrow Airport.
