Q&A

ASKTHEEXPERT

Q

Will rising rents ease landlords’ fears over tax increases?

Silvia Eldawi Lettings Director Lauristons

A

Although the recent changes to Buy to Let stamp duty and the reduction of mortgage interest relief announced in the last two budgets are being talked about as a tax on landlords, they’re actually likely to end up being a tax on tenants.

One of the key principles of Buy to Let success is owning a property where the rent covers all the costs, with some profit on top. Part of working harder at making a profit will be to start to put up rents.

Sensible gearing combined with natural property price growth means property can still deliver a very healthy return over time. Even though it may cost a little more at the start and some tax relief will be lost along the way, rental properties that are priced, managed and maintained well, should still be able to reap good rewards by the end of their investment term.

pring and summer are ideal times to sell when the sun lights up rooms and nature perks up gardens.

Sam Sproston, from Knight Frank Wandsworth, says: “You get a premium for houses which have unusually large gardens for the area. In Melody Road, one side has longer west-facing gardens and we see they sell more quickly than the other side of the road with the smaller gardens.

“When you are looking at the more expensive homes buyers want big gardens. We have a handsome eight-bedroom detached, double-fronted house in Westover Road with a 100 foot long double-width garden.The size of the garden is definitely an attraction.

“A lovely, inviting garden with some foliage and colour is a big selling point.”

His tip is to turn smaller gardens into tidy patio areas.

He points out that he has never had a buyer call and specifically ask for a swimming pool, while families with young children tend to fill in ponds.

Caroline Bell, of Savills, Putney, says: “No doubt, at this time of year, how the garden looks becomes more important. The most popular gardens are those that are facing south or west, but in Putney because the houses and gardens are often bigger the way the garden faces is not so important.

“With buyers the bigger the garden the better, unless they are among the small number who hate gardening. With family homes easy maintenance is helpful and although I hate astro turf, it can be suitable for people with children because they can play out and not make a mess.

“Sellers should be objective. Look at the garden and if the bushes are overgrown and the dog has ruined the lawn get someone in to cut back the bushes to make the garden look bigger. It’s worth investing in getting someone in for a day to tidy up and stick in some colourful plants to liven the whole thing up.

“Buyers can get the impression that if the garden looks as if no one has bothered with it, then the house might be poorly maintained too.”

Caroline also thinks that simplicity is best, saying that hot tubs or elaborate garden sheds tend not to be popular.

“Make sure fencing is in good order. I’ve just told a client that it is really worth replacing the tatty fencing because a wellmaintained garden creates such a good impression.”

Yaffingales, the six-bedroom, Tudor-style pile, complete with outdoor pool, gym and log cabin, in Esher was home to Frank, his ex and their two daughters and on the market for £7m in 2012. Now he’s scored a let – £8.950 per month – through Jackson-Stops & Staff in Weybridge. When Frank decides to hang up his boots he’ll still have a Chelsea house and other properties in the UK to call homes.

THE WORD

OUTOF TOWNBUY

Two major uncertainties have unsettled ‘Estate Agency land’ this year. Marc Wiehe director at Winkworth, Streatham surveys an unpredictable market

2

016 so far has been a year of dramatic contrasts. The first quarter was characterised by frenetic buying activity as investors rushed to beat the stamp duty deadline of 1st of April. For a brief moment, those of us in Estate Agency land briefly witnessed the return of sealed bids as purchasers competed with each other to secure rental-friendly properties to add to their portfolios. A natural side effect of this was that the first time buyers were sidelined as they could not compete against largely cash or cash rich buyers.

Many solicitors burnt the midnight oil in a rush to beat the deadline and while many deals were done, sadly many transactions were unable to be concluded in time, given that the Chancellor’s announcement was only made in November of last year, giving the market a very narrow window.

Since April, attention has switched to Brexit matters and the higher end of the property market is suffering from a crisis of confidence as a result. As the market in London is sentiment driven as much as it is needs based, uncertainty over the EU question and its effects is bound to be paralysing. Buyers need confidence and despite the continued record low lending rates, they need to feel secure about their purchases in order to make offers.

This is the second spring in a row where a lack of confidence has affected the market place. In the lead up to last year’s general election the market slowed noticeably and then rebounded after the result. This year, in our traditional prime selling market, the lead up to decision day (June the 23rd ) is more significant as no one knows what is predicted to happen and, either way, how the result will affect the UK. On the positive, side the sun is shining and Streatham is beginning to come out of her chrysalis hopefully to emerge as a beautiful butterfly....failing that, that it is at last becoming a sought-after neighbourhood in its own right!

Guide price £2,275,000 Meadows is a newly-built home which blends classic design with a high-quality finish and modern technology. The house sits in a 0.44 acre plot at the top of the popular Ralliwood Road and close to Ashtead Village. It has five double bedrooms and four bathrooms, including an indulgent master suite, and four reception rooms, with the drawing room giving great views to the garden and countryside beyond. Bi-fold doors lead from the spacious open-plan kitchen/family room to the garden.

HEADS-UP STEPUP After four years working for Octagon, the luxury developer, Kate Hancock has been appointed group marketing manager.

Kate’s earlier roles as PA and administration manager to the Land and Sales team, combined with her duties working alongside the legendary, recently retired, David Smith, the former group head of marketing and PR, have given her a first-class foundation for the challenges ahead.

Before moving to Octagon, Kate cut her property teeth with estate agents Foxtons and Savills. It was at Savills Cobham that Kate first came into contact with Octagon, when she was instructed to sell one of their Surrey prime properties.

She says: “Octagon quickly became a favourite client; I fell in love with their homes, and particularly enjoyed working with the Octagon team. When the opportunity arose to join the Land and Sales Division, I did not hesitate and was delighted to get the job. Moving into the Group Marketing role is both exciting and challenging.

There is also an option to take a tour of any communal facilities, as well as to explore an interactive floor plan highlighting the details of the apartment’s layout, all from a local Foxtons’ office.

RAREPORTFOLIO A rare south-west London residential portfolio has come to the market with Cluttons. The private vendor has appointed Cluttons to sell the portfolio of 10 properties, an opportunity that the agent says has been very rare in the London market for a decade.

The properties are based in East Sheen, Richmond and Wimbledon, all highly desirable locations. They include eight freehold properties with six being terraced houses while two are configured into apartments. Each property is in need of major refurbishment. There are three regulated tenancies within the portfolio, six on Assured Shorthold Tenancies, and one is vacant.

Mark Clegg, Cluttons head of residential investment, says: “This type of portfolio was once quite common in the market around 10 years ago, but is now a rarity. This is a great opportunity to capitalise on the assets’ locations within these sought after areas, which attract median rents of £1,500pcm£2,500 per month, and asking prices of c £1.25million for three and fourbedroom houses.

“Many investors can naturally see a good potential to renovate the properties and increase the floor space with either extensions or loft conversions.”

The guide price for the portfolio is £7 million.

SPEEDHIKE Claire Sexstone, the senior lettings negotiator at Warren Estates Agents, The Putney Agent, plans to raise £7,500 in a mountain speed hike.

The intrepid group of Claire, her husband Paul and some close friends are taking on the Tour De Mont Blanc.

The hike usually takes 10 days but the group plans to hike 168km in just six days, meaning they will have completed four marathons at high altitude and climbed a total of 9,350 metres over the six days.

The charity Streets of London funds specialist support and raises awareness of the homeless in London. The speed hike will be led by a very experienced mountaineer and is organised by Chamonix Hard Cross.

Claire has only just been able to start training after fracturing her foot in February.

She says she is a little daunted but determined and excited to be taking part. Warren Estate Agents and SOUTH are proud to sponsor Claire and her husband and help them on their way to achieve their target.

You can sponsor Claire and Paul on https:// mydonate.bt.com/fundraisers/sexstone1 www.streetsoflondon.org.uk

WORD ON THE STREET IS A BUY TO LET STILL A GOOD BET? COLIN GILBERT HAMPTONS INTERNATIONAL

Investment is always a gamble, so limiting the risk is the key to success. Low interest rates and a relatively volatile stock market have left few viable options, so even with the recent stamp duty changes property is still considered low risk, especially in London.

No one can predict what any market will do but even with the referendum on the horizon London will continue to be a financial powerhouse and demand for housing will be prevalent. Capital growth in London property is almost an expectation and while there can be a dips in the market, those who are happy to look long term should still have little worry about seeing and decent return on their investment.

TOM CRABTREE MARSH & PARSONS

With returns on property investments in London on the rise and such a strong UK economy, now is a great time for buyers to consider investing in London property. With demand continuing to outstrip supply, prices are increasing steadily and –in some areas, Clapham for example, we’ve seen a 10.5 per cent annual increase; with no signs of easing.

Regardless of whether you’re buying a ‘home’ or looking for an immediate return on your purchase, all buyers want to feel secure that their investment has been a wise one and with a network of 26 offices across London, south west London certainly seems to be a safe bet.

FIRSTUNION SCOREHAT-TRICK! Agent scoops a GOLD and TWO SILVER ESTAS at industry ‘Oscars’

P

hil Spencer, the best known celebrity in the property business, delivered a rallying speech at the ESTAS 2016 awards luncheon. He emphasised the importance of the ESTAS. He said the awards were there to recognise the hard work and special effort put in in every day by estate agents throughout the country. To win an award, Phil Spencer went on to say, was to have achieved one of the highest accolades that the industry could offer.

It was a glittering event, held this year, at London’s Grosvenor House. Having been nominated for no less than ten awards, John Chase and everyone from First Union Battersea and Wandsworth branches were keen to attend.

First Union were delighted to win two silver awards and one gold award.

“Out of all the agents in South West London,” observed Beth Denton of the First Union Wandsworth branch, “that’s pretty good going!”

John Chase, Director, had more to say: “First Union were delighted to pick up three awards at the ESTAS last week. It was First Union’s first time of entering the prestigious awards and we were extremely pleased to be recognised by our clients for the excellent customer service that we constantly strive to provide. Thank you to everyone who took time to vote for us, and to the organisers and the sponsors for producing such a great day on Friday, April 15, 2016.”

First Union has an established business in Wandsworth and Battersea. They have been in Battersea Square for nearly 20 years and in Old York Road, Wandsworth, for 15. John Chase is a ‘Battersea boy’ through and through, having lived in the Wandsworth area nearly all his life. He worked for a couple of small independent agencies and a large corporate before taking the giant step to form First Union. He feels it has been a wonderful journey to date and still has the same passion that he did when he first started.

John’s second in command is his wife, Emma who left a successful career as a fashion buyer for Harrods to join John at First Union. Her letting skills are respected by colleagues, tenants and landlords.

John and Emma are committed to their business and their staff – who just stay with them!

GEORGIAN APPEAL Georgian houses have an enduring appeal, which is why lots of developers go in for the mock Georgian look, often marred by unsuitable carriage lamps or mullioned windows

T

he real thing has a simplicity and charm that needs no dressing up and south London is blessed with more than its fair share of Georgian gems.

In fact three quarters of us prefer Georgian – 1714 to 1830 – when describing our ideal home.

There was a time when London’s Georgian houses were being demolished but thankfully their attractions are now acknowledged and agents have seen their value soar.

Town houses in Stockwell, Kennington and Camberwell are attracting architectural connoisseurs as well as those looking for a comfortable family home.

In Clapham and Dulwich grander Georgian homes sometimes come onto the market to the delight of those with deep pockets and to the sound of gnashing teeth from those who are priced out of the contest.

Wimbledon has a number of cottages, houses and pubs, which date from the Georgian period. Sadly as with Clapham and Battersea many of the most impressive mansions were demolished long ago. All that remains of Lauriston House, where anti-slavery campaigner William Wilberforce lived with his aunt and uncle, are the names Wilberforce Way and Lauriston Road in nearby streets.

Nicholas Webb, of Field & Sons, says: “Georgian architecture and style enjoy huge popularity with many new buyers seeking it out and looking to restore some of the beautiful buildings that are found just south of the river around Kennington, Stockwell and Camberwell.

“There are tiny cottages of 800 square feet up to large townhouses of 3,000 square feet.

They often offer superb original interiors, so long as they weren’t torn out in the post-war period. Almost all are grade II listed and require careful and considered improvement with consents needed by Six bedrooms, plus a lovely garden and coach house, conservation departments.

homes in Stockwell and Kennington are leading to a demographic change in the area.

“People selling their two bedroom flats in Chelsea used to move to Fulham for a family house, but now they see the good value in moving to a lovely Georgian house in Stockwell. At the moment Stockwell just doesn’t have the café culture, but it probably soon will. “ Clapham retains some wonderful examples of grand Georgian architecture. For example, a group of late Georgian houses have survived on the west side of Clapham Common, a reminder of the area’s heyday as a high-class suburb.

Robin Chatwin of Savills says: “People do specifically say they want a Georgian property. We have a client who turned down a house that was designed in the Georgian era but built in the early Victorian because he felt is was a compromise.

“We love Georgian because of the scale and proportions which are very different from Victorian ones.

Although I’ve just been looking at a new house and came away exhilarated by the volume and space I do prefer Georgian because the proportions are exactly what people want. Every detail from the fireplaces to panelling is stunning and still works really well in the modern world, but it is relatively rare that a fine Georgian house comes on sale because the numbers are no longer there.“

>>MAT RIGHT Keeping in step with the ubiquitous green ‘fitted carpets’ of perfect artificial grass, it’s time to roll out the outdoor rug to complete that garden living space. Pueblo outdoor rug, £49.95, www.cuckooland.com >>DARLING BUDS The latest royal baby has inspired growers to produce a new chrysanthemum – Princess Charlotte. Another retro bloom to join the dahlias.

ONWITH THESHOW!

I

n advance of this year’s Chelsea Flower Show (24-28 May) the RHS has announced some plant trends and stand-out themes at the world’s most famous gardening event.

The exotic peony, a design favourite, is set to be star of the show and roses will feature prominently alongside other popular flowers – alliums, achillea, foxgloves, irises, lavender and geum.

Pastels predominate as a colour. Look out for David Austin Roses’ new peach-coloured English shrub rose, ‘Roald Dahl’ (above), which marks 100 years since the storyteller’s birth and acknowledges Roald’s ‘James and the Giant Peach’. The new royal baby is celebrated with the ‘Princess Charlotte’ chrysanthemum.

Box hedging features in eight gardens but many clipped alternatives, such as yew and bay are also used. There is generally a healthy amount of green in many of the gardens, some with rich plantings of the forgotten ferns. Others have turned to Bracken and Horsetail, and even weeds such as wild garlic, to add beauty to a garden. Everyone good gardener knows a weed is just a plant in the wrong place!

The show has even more of a theatrical feel than usual. At first glance, the ‘Harrods Eccentric British Garden’ designed by horticultural showman, Diarmuid Gavin is a gentle garden of terraces and topiary until it suddenly puts on a performance with mechanical buzzings and whirrings, a tower that erects, box balls that bob up and down and conical bay trees that begin to twirl.

Leading designer Peter Eustance has created an Artisan garden for disability charity Papworth Trust which becomes a musical instrument.

A water marimba – a giant set of musical bars – generates an acoustic pulse, while soft planting creates a diaphanous, dancing screen that will sway to the music.

>>BOXING CLEVER Not really! Those hanging balls of plastic box topiary may not need watering – or clipping – but they’re not much of contribution to England’s green and pleasant land. >>SUITE SORROW Inside meets outside in the garden 3-piece. But fake rattan sofas are not sitting pretty on the patio. >>HANGING OFFENCE The bane of garden designers’ lives – can anyone come up with a truly stylish alternative to those dangling baskets? >>LINEN SHEETS It’s taken us a while to love them – all those creases don’t sit well with the tidy-minded!

“We had taken a number of years in preparation of the rebuilding of our house and we knew exactly the look that we wanted. Buildguru designed our kitchen and bedroom wardrobes and also designed & supplied the seating & coats area in our utility room. The service we received was prompt and efficient and excellent value for money. I think our kitchen looks about twice the price we paid for it. Everything turned up exactly as promised and I would happily recommend Buildguru to my friends.�

GLORIOUSAGAIN An elegant villa in the Telford Park conservation area that had been chopped up into two flats, has been restored to its former glory as one fantastic family home, explains Jenny Knight

P

atrick and Laura Butler-Madden bought the house as both a project and as the home they planned to live in for the next five to 10 years.

Laura is an interior designer and property developer who blogs as Laura Butler-Madden, sharing her tips for creating the house beautiful.

She says: “We bought the house when it was divided into two flats.

It wasn’t awful but it was tired. These houses are special and it was sad to see it chopped up into flats. We rewired and re-plumbed and fortunately most of the lovely features, like the proportions of the hall, were still there, although in places we had to replace cornicing.

“The metal fireplace in the front drawing room was disguised under layers of paint.”

It took about eight months before the Butler-Maddens could move into the house that had been restored to its original form with four bedrooms on the top two floors and a front reception room and a kitchen/dining room downstairs.

The master bedroom now has an en suite bathroom and there are two other family bathrooms.

Laura says: “Previously we lived in while renovating but all the dust and mess is hideous. The most irritating bit of renovating this house was changing two into one, for example getting the electricity board to remove all the meters.“ The rooms were reconfigured so they were exactly the size and shape of the original house, except for adding an extension at the back to make a larger kitchen.

A decked area was added to the redesigned, 61ft garden.

Laura says: “I love period property and putting features back. I don’t like the term property developer because it suggests doing things the quickest and cheapest way. I look at a house and what it deserves. This is the most beautiful house and we planned to stay, but instead we are moving to Dorset where I grew up. “ Laura’s design tips include using neutral shades for the walls of most rooms and introducing colour with pictures and accessories.

“That way you keep everything light and bright and you can make changes and update things in an easy and affordable way.”

One of the special architectural details of homes in Kirkstall Road are the balconies opening out from the third floor bedroom. The couple removed an unattractive PVC door leading to the balcony and replaced it with a replica of the original window.

wo newly refurbished flats have sprung from one house thanks to family teamwork by two brothers and their sister who shared ideas and muscle throughout the job.

The end-of-terrace house now offers two handsome flats. The first three-bedroom flat, with a south-west facing roof terrace, takes up the first and second floors. As well as the double bedrooms it contains an en suite bathroom, a shower room and an open-plan loft living area and kitchen – both with direct access to the south west-facing roof terrace.

The second flat is another stunning three-bedder with two bathrooms and a south-facing garden. It too has been newly refurbished to a high standard.

Its open-plan living area with kitchen has direct access to the south-facing garden, with bi-folding doors to create that outside extra room feeling on warm days. Both properties are offered chain free – a real advantage nowadays when one small hitch further up or down a chain can cause delay and expense.

Marney Road is a quiet residential road of stylish period houses, near Clapham Common north side and close to the restaurants and cafes of Lavender Hill.

There are great transport links with a selection of buses and Clapham Junction mainline station.

Osbourne House is ultra contemporary but draws on the architectural language of the grand Victorian villas that line the road. The result is a house that more than rivals the period homes for comfort, style and space.

There are four reception rooms, private parking, a roof terrace and a 107 foot garden.

An open-plan kitchen is the heart of the house and leads to a light-filled living/dining room that connects to the garden via full-height opening doors.

Flexible living spaces flow seamlessly into one another allowing for a variety of uses. Natural light is maximised with large windows and glazing slots.

A generously-proportioned family room is set off by an open fireplace on a light sea green slate plinth, integrated into a wall of bespoke American black walnut joinery.

There is a bright and elegant formal living room that leads to a decked terrace overlooking the garden. A rich timber parquet floor and an open fireplace add warmth to this space.

The master bedroom suite has a separate dressing area with a generous en suite bathroom and a private balcony with views across the garden.

The master bathroom is designed as an indulgent and sensory space using a mixture of Mocha Waldorf and American black walnut timber from floor to ceiling.

中国人对子女教育和英伦房 产投资

Chinese invest in UK properties for the next generation, reports Lin-Hua Liu, senior property consultant for Vantage Properties & Management

英国悠远的历史文化，活跃的 时尚精品零售业，严谨的法律制 度，稳定政治环境， 无一不是吸 引中国人移民英国或是在英伦置产 的原因。 但为何中国买家偏好在英 伦投资买房呢？最大促使原因还是归 于中国人希望给下一代良好的教育生 活环境， 逃离国内高考竞争激烈的升 学压力。当子女们攻完学位后， 中国父 母也已准备好为儿女在英伦置产，协助 他们在英国定居，就业，买房。

he UK has an illustrious history, a vibrant culture, an established and honest legal system and a stable economic and political climate. All of these factors attract Chinese people to invest in UK property. But what’s the major motivator for Chinese investment in UK property?

Savills estimated in 2015, that 5% of ‘new build’ purchasers across the city and surrounding areas are Chinese. Based on 2014 China Ministry of Education statistics, almost 460,000 students enrolled to study overseas, 90% of them have family financial support and Cambridge is always their top choice.

In the 2015-16 academic year, more than 900 Chinese students registered to study in Cambridge. Those astute parents not only invest in their children’s education, but also in properties, even before their children reach school age. Investing in property definitely has its advantages, countering inflation and unstable currency exchange rates.

The determination of the great philosopher Mencius’ mother – who relocated several times for her children’s betterment – is embedded in Chinese mentality. Chinese investors plan for the long term – even recent Brexit uncertainty and restrictions to transfer money overseas would never deter their plan to invest in UK properties.

The flow of Chinese students to the UK is as strong as ever and it seems certain that corresponding intense property investments will continue accordingly.

opefully you have already benefitted from the historically low Base Rate and mortgage rates that have been around for a number of years now. However, you could be making further savings, in terms of time and interest, by utilising any disposable income by making overpayments.

For example, if you have a repayment mortgage of £250k over a 25 year term at 4 per cent, by overpaying £250 per month could cut your mortgage term up to six years and saved over £50k in overall interest costs. Most products allow overpayment of at least 10 per cent per annum, some more but it is worth checking your mortgage offer because if you exceed any permitted allowance, the lender may charge a penalty fee.

There are some circumstances whereby any disposable income could be better spent (creating a rainy day pot or repaying other debts) but overpayments are definitely something to ponder while mortgage rates are so low.

ews from Nationwide that house price rose more slowly in March – the last month for which figures are available – may not suggest that property values are about to enter a downward spiral as some commentators have suggested. The figures also show that there were 11 per cent more sales than the last peak, in January 2007.

Robert Gardner, the building society’s chief economist, said: “While UK house prices edged up 0.2 per cent during the month of April, the annual rate of house price growth moderated to 4.9 per cent from 5.7 per cent in March. However, it is possible that the recent pattern of strong employment growth, rising real earnings, low borrowing costs and constrained supply will tilt the demand/supply balance in favour of sellers and exert upward pressure on price growth once again in the quarters ahead.”

BORROWERSBEWARE

T

Fluctuating exchange rates present particular difficulties for borrowers who choose a foreign currency mortgage – and lenders, too, explains Duncan Farmer

here are almost a million continental Europeans living in London, many of whom are in well-paid City jobs, such as law and finance, often posted on short-term contracts although many end up staying for years. The growing number of schools for foreign children, such as the Lycee Charles de Gaulle in South Kensington, which is one of at least 24 French schools in the capital, are testament to the long term nature of their stay.

While many rent, others choose to buy, but when they apply for a mortgage should they borrow in the currency in which they are paid (if it is sterling) or opt for their home currency, such as euros or Swiss francs? The dilemma is the same for British expats working abroad who want to buy a home either over there or back home.

It is a difficult decision because any fluctuation in exchange rates could have a big impact on the size of the outstanding debt and on monthly repayments. Changes to the Mortgage Credit Directive may help them with their decision.

If you live in Northern Ireland, for example, but work for a company across the border in the South, you will be paid in euros and are now seen as requiring a foreign currency mortgage.

Even if you only have shares in a company overseas that you are hoping to cash in to pay off some of your mortgage, particularly an interest-only one, this will still be classed as a foreign currency mortgage.

The rules have been brought in apparently to protect both borrower and lender. If the exchange rate between the two currencies that relate to you, moves by more than 20 per cent either way, you could now have the right to move your mortgage to an alternative currency, such as the one relevant to where your property is, especially if you can prove that the new rates mean that your payments are no longer affordable.

One side effect of this is that due to the amount of monitoring of exchange rates these mortgages require, many lenders have withdrawn from the foreign income market.

Another reason that lenders could be put off is because, due to your ability to now switch currencies should the exchange rates move too far, the currency risk now sits with them and not you.

However, there are still many lenders that are continuing to offer mortgages to foreign currency earners, so it is important to speak to a professional mortgage adviser regarding this change and foreign currency mortgages, particularly if you work in a different country to the one in which you live.

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.

n an area where truffles are famously foraged, wild boar is hunted and some of the most notable vineyards in France thrive, we know a couple who are selling a home that offers a complete lifestyle change. Once the residence of writer Marie Cardinal, today’s owners at La Madelene arrange high-end wine tours and have been nominated for the 2016 Luxury Travel Awards. The house is spilling with authentic French charm - every room is stylishly turned-out, sometimes with a nod to the building’s origin. 10-bedrooms, 9-en suites, several terraces, a swimming pool, large Provencal kitchen, pool kitchen and wonderful Chapel Room. Its beautiful interior, setting and excellent location make it a very viable at-home business opportunity, or perhaps - if you’re so lucky, the most romantic life-switch you could hope to make.

You can dine al fresco on any of the terraces and take in views of orchards, vineyards, the medieval hilltop village of Crestet and the highest peak in Provence. Mt. Ventoux rises 1912m above sea level, is famous for its regular inclusion in the Tour de France and is a mecca for cyclists.

Dedicated foodies will appreciate the superb local family-run restaurants and lively local markets, where seasonal local produce is abundant. The major towns of Orange and Carpentras are just 30-minutes away and the beautiful city of Avignon with its Papal Palace and quality shopping, is 45-minutes from here. Nimes and Marseille airports are just over an hour’s drive while the Eurostar travels to Avignon in the summer. It’s also easy to train it down from Paris to Orange or Avignon.

If a few good many years in Provence appeal to you, please do get in touch.

MOVE TO...

CRANBROOK GOUDHURST With the distinctive white weatherboards on many of the houses and the medieval layout of its streets and alleys, Goudhurst has maintained its wonderful history, while growing into a bustling village in the heart of the Kentish Weald.

Close proximity to the A21 and Tunbridge Wells means Goudhurst is a popular choice for London buyers, who don’t feel too isolated when making that initial move out of the capital.

The village is also just five miles from Marden Station, which has regular mainline services to London Bridge and London Victoria.

Good local pubs and restaurants include Goudhurst Inn, Green Cross Inn, or The Globe and Rainbow at Kilndown.

FRITTENDEN The pretty village of Frittenden has always been very popular as it is off the beaten track, yet so close to everything.

It’s the smallest parish in the Borough of Tunbridge Wells and its existence can be traced back to at least 804, when it is mentioned in a Saxon charter.

In the village is a pre-school, primary school, memorial hall, village shop, and St Mary’s Church, a pretty 11th century church.

HANDSOME ANDHISTORIC C

Report by Sarah Simmonds, Director at Savills Cranbrook

ranbrook is a handsome and historic market town, characterised by its weather-boarded and oak-framed buildings in the classic Kentish vernacular. The renowned Cranbrook School is an important focus of life here, and is the major draw for buyers moving to the area. As you would expect, family houses are the main attraction in Cranbrook’s property profile.

The town itself has a variety of houses; in the surrounding villages the choice of styles ranges from half-timbered hall houses and handsome Georgian farmhouses to Victorian villas and contemporary homes.

As the ancient ‘capital’ of the Kentish Weald, Cranbrook is surrounded by some of the finest scenery in the county, a glorious landscape of woods and gently rolling farmland; further afield, around Rye, is the atmospheric Romney Marsh.

Mainline rail services from Staplehurst run into London Bridge and Charing Cross in just over an hour. There are also stations at Headcorn and Marden. Ashford provides a high speed service to London King’s Cross St Pancras with a journey time of 37 minutes together with Eurostar links to Paris. The A21 provides fast links to Tunbridge Wells and Sevenoaks and connects with the M25, the M20 and other road networks.

BENENDEN Benenden is a beautiful village in the heart of the Kent countryside centred around a green where cricket has been played in the summer months since the 18th century.

Like many of the villages in the Weald of Kent, Benenden has an interesting history and it was mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086.

The village has a thriving local community with many clubs and societies, and it benefits from a village shop, post office, butcher and pubs. At the top of the green is the parish church of St George.

arlsfield has had a fantastic start to the year. Year on year, our offers agreed have risen and we have seen 60 per cent growth in the properties listed in comparison with the same point last year.

We have a variety of stock available to suit a lot of different needs. Young professionals are renting one-bedroom apartments in ex-local authority developments for £1,150 per month, whereas families and corporate re-locators are eager to live on the beautiful terraced streets where Victorian houses cost £2,850 per month to rent. The most popular search is for two-bedroomed apartments, and we have stock ranging from £1,450 per month for a more modest flat ideal for sharers, right through to nearer £2,000.

Knaresborough Drive is one of these properties. This property was let to a couple who had seen it being built as they were in the gym. They managed to let a flat and told me how they had wanted to see the gym from their balcony, rather than the other way around!

Traditionally, as we head into summer activity at all ends of the market only increases. Graduates will be moving to London for new employment and families being placed through corporate companies will want to settle before the new Aaron Nguyen Lu, the owner of Acquire school year begins.

Estate Agents, is also owner of an exclusive Private Property Management Company, which manages properties in London for princes and other royals in desirable areas of London, including the palatial penthouse in Harrods Village.

The penthouse in the exclusive gated community by the riverside in Barnes, is one of the most prestigious properties in the development. The property management company manage it on behalf of a Middle Eastern prince.

Aaron says: “It is attention to detail, experience and connections that make our services highly sought after.”

LAST WORD Tom Floyd sales manager at Winkworth Kennington has the last say

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

I studied Real Estate Management at Oxford Brookes University in 2009 and since graduating I have been working for Winkworth in the Kennington Office. I started off as a negotiator and I was appointed Sales Manager at the end of 2013, which is the position I still hold.

What do you enjoy most about working in this market, and what have been your highlights so far?

Because the majority of our buyers are owner occupiers it is nice to deal with buyers who are looking for a home, rather than buyers who are investors who just look at figures. Because the area is relatively good value, considering its proximity to Central London, we do a lot of transactions, which is clearly enjoyable! The biggest highlight for me is having a satisfied buyer and vendor; that means a huge amount to us.

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

I would have to say the biggest challenge we face day-to-day is trying to manage vendors’ expectations in a changing market. I take a very honest approach and would prefer to risk losing an instruction knowing that I have given my honest opinion.

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

You must be prepared to work hard and put in the hours.

Understanding the requirements of your buyers is very important; it will allow you build a rapport and trust with those buyers. You can’t be afraid of picking up the phone and making calls.

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

I wouldn’t say it is particularly difficult at the moment, however it is very important to make sure you have all

your finances in place before you start looking.

Once you have an offer accepted you need to be ready to go.

A UNIQUE PERSPECT RENTING AND

In your view, how does the South London market differ from other areas of London?

I think we are very lucky as the majority of our buyers are owner occupiers and therefore they buy because they need to buy.

This means we are less likely to be affected by external issues, which may affect other parts of the London market.

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

I think that we will continue to see a stable market for the rest of the year and then from Q2 2017 we will start to see rises in capital growth. Beyond that; your guess is as good as mine.

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

I would bring in another stamp duty relief for firsttime buyers. It is hard enough for first-time buyers to get on the property market as it is. A stamp duty relief for a short period would not only increase transactions, but also make it easier for them to get on the ladder.

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

It has to be Kennington. Its proximity to Central London is fantastic, but you also get the sense of a community and a ‘café culture’. There is so much going for it and people who don’t know it are pleasantly surprised when they visit.

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

I would have to do something sales related because that is my forte. I have always liked the idea of selling people luxury holidays – so maybe that.
