Q&A ask the expert

Q

Why do estate agents often ask for cash buyers only?

Jacksons win triple gold

Simon Hardie, head of Sales for John D Wood & Co Clapham, replies...

A

Cash is king, as the old adage goes, and when it comes to selling a property, this is definitely the case. Often buyers will state they are ‘cash’ purchasers when they have an agreement in principle with a lender or they are re-mortgaging another property.

In fact, you can only be a cash buyer if you are fully funding the property purchase with liquid funds that are readily available.

As lenders become more stringent in their requirements during the underwriting of a mortgage, the risk that any application may not be successful becomes greater. Banks are now requiring evidence to prove that, should interest rates rise, the future homeowner will be still be able to meet the repayments.

When the sale of a property becomes part of a chain, with multiple parties involved, the buyer representing the least risk of not completing the sale is the most attractive to a vendor.

Anyone buying with a mortgage has many hoops to jump through to fully satisfy their lender. A cash buyer does not have this hindrance and can take their own view on any issues that arise during the surveying and conveyancing process. Commonly, these are minor damp problems, missing paperwork for works carried out historically, or a shorter lease.

In a highly competitive property market, the ideal way to secure a dream buy is to make yourself a cash purchaser to maximise your desirability to vendors when offering. Of course, this can only be the case if you are able to sell your current property independent of finding your next buy, and in doing so you release enough equity to fund your next purchase in its entirety with the proceeds.

An unencumbered purchaser with no reliance on additional funding is still ‘king’ in the property market. www.johndwood.co.uk

The once humble terrace house is back in vogue, says Cheryl Markosky

T

erraced houses have outperformed all other types of housing over the past decade.

According to Savills Research, the London terrace has shown the biggest increase in value by 92 per cent, compared to 73 per cent for detached houses and 70 per cent for flats. The most expensive average price for a terraced house varies from £3.8 million in Kensington & Chelsea to £62,000 in Burnley.

Buying a terraced house is the natural step up from a flat and enforces ownership of your own private front door, says Caroline Bell from Savills Putney. “Living in a terrace can mean thin walls between properties, but buying in a well-established area should make for peaceful cohabitation,” she argues.

Typical buyers are young couples, newly married or with one child, while at the other end of the scale it can be the older generation downsizing from a large, family home, Bell adds.

Russell Day of Riverhomes believes there’s a sense of community living in a terrace. “You have the advantages of living in a flat, but with a lot of the pluses of living in a house,” he points out. “A terrace is safer, structurally sound and economical to run.”

Terraced houses are usually found in established areas convenient for transport, shops and local schools.

“Also, buyers find them attractive, as most are wellmaintained,” Day suggests.

Terraces are more affordable and purchasers can add value to them, comments Nick Udovicic from First Union Estate Agency in Wandsworth. “You can do the side return extension, convert the loft and dig down to extract as much space as possible.” Another bonus is you don’t normally have to apply for planning permission, Udovicic adds.

Sales and marketing director Nigel Sawers at Shanly Homes has just launched Warriner Place, Victorian-style terraced houses in Battersea priced from £1,995,000 (020 7768 6607).

He believes that one of the main attractions of his new take on the terrace is: “the lower ground, open plan kitchen and living area set around a spacious and private courtyard.”

Responding to the demand for family housing, Hadley Mace is building Greenwich Square, 38 four-bedroom, terraced townhouses from £799,950.

“Terraced housing is a popular option, particularly among London buyers, as it’s one of the only ways to have a traditional-style house with modern features such as underfloor heating and a good-sized private rear garden, in the capital,” notes Andy Portlock of the Hadley Property Group.

Four-bed house, Balham Grove, Balham SW12, £1,075,000, Foxtons Balham 020 8772 8000

village vibe James Redington, operations director at Foxtons Balham, takes South on a guided tour of his territory ATTRACTIONS In addition to its friendly and relaxed cafe culture, Balham is known for its lively street markets selling a great range of fresh produce and local homemade goods.

These include the weekly Balham Farmers Market; Balham Country Market, a monthly fixture at the Bowls Club; and the daily market on Hildreth Street, which started way back in 1903. On a more practical note, many discerning buyers are attracted to this area due to its location within the Borough of Wandsworth, where the council tax is the cheapest in the capital.

SHOPS Balham boasts an abundance of shops, both brand names and independent boutiques. For me, no trip out is complete without a visit to Chadwicks, an organic family butcher just opposite Balham tube.

Their meat is some of the best in London and I would especially recommend their amazing range of sausages.

RESTAURANTS AND PUBS You are spoilt for choice when it comes to places to eat and drink in Balham, with something

homes

for everyone and for every occasion. A popular family spot is Bertie and Boo, an award-winning coffee shop where you can have a coffee and book a children’s party entertainer at the same time.

My personal favourites are Lamberts, a modern British restaurant on the High Road, and the retro Balham Bowls Club bar, the best spot in Balham for a beer or Sunday roast. There is also a Franca Manca, arguably one of the best pizza chains in London, as well as The Exhibit, a boutique cinema catering for up to 24 people on two-seater leather sofas and serving classic diner food from its popular bar.

LEISURE Balham is spoilt for surrounding green open spaces due to its close proximity to Wandsworth, Clapham and Tooting Commons. It is also right next to Tooting Bec Lido, the largest open-air freshwater swimming pool in the UK and the second largest in Europe. Although it’s a little chilly for me.

Money can’t buy me love but it can buy you the Surrey home of Beatles drummer Ringo Starr, whose 200-acre estate at Rydinghurst is currently on the market complete with lakes, formal gardens and a riding school.

Ringo and his wife Barbara Bach, who are off to California, bought the Grade II listed Jacobean mansion near Cranleigh in 1999 for £2m. It is now expected to sell via Knight Frank for around £15m.

Celebrity interior designer Nicky Haslam helped redesign the property, which has its own cinema, entrance lodge, cottage, coach house, indoor pool and gym.

the word Special report by Clare Hampson, head of Lettings at Savills Battersea

T

he end of summer and the beginning of autumn marked a busy few months for Savills Battersea lettings, with a strong number of applicants and a good flow of new stock coming to the market. Rental prices have risen by 26 per cent over the past five years and the forecast for the year ahead is also promising, with price growth of 3 per cent predicted for prime London.

Across Wandsworth, Clapham and Battersea, UK tenants remain dominant, particularly in the lower and middle end of the market where they make up over 70 per cent of all tenants. We are, however, seeing increasing interest from Western European and North American tenants, with employment relocation cited by 35 per cent of applicants as their reason for renting, and lifestyle relocation the reason for a further 19 per cent.

Battersea is particularly popular with relocating families, who are attracted by the pretty Victorian housing stock and excellent schools in the area.

At the top end of the market, we’re currently marketing an immaculate six-bedroom family home on Albert Bridge Road with a guide of £2500

per week. The property offers generous living space with a spacious double reception room that leads on to an extended kitchen/breakfast room, also benefiting from a secluded landscaped garden perfect for the summer months.

At a mid-market price point, St Philip Street, a beautiful newly refurbished three-bedroom, two-bathroom house is available with a guide of £650 per week. The quiet residential street is in a fantastic location for Queenstown Road train station, with Battersea Park and Chelsea Embankment just a short walk away. The property offers an abundance of natural light, with good living space including a patio garden.

We also have a number of properties suitable for young professionals, such as Yvon House, a smart two-bedroom flat set on the second floor of a modern attractive building with a guide price of £550 per week. It has views over the internal courtyard, while the open plan kitchen dining room is ideal for relaxing and entertaining.

Across South West London, we’ve also noticed two new emerging trends in the rental

out of town buy

market. Firstly, tenants are choosing to rent slightly rundown properties in great locations, then improving them themselves. A tenant in Parsons Green put down a beautiful wood floor in the reception rooms of the property she’s renting at her own expense, while one of our tenants recently improved the garden of the property they were renting and repainted a number of rooms.

The second trend we’ve experienced recently is landlords moving into their rental properties while they refurbish or extend their own homes.

This can have a number of benefits: enabling building work to proceed more efficiently on their own home, as well as creating a greater window in which to find the next tenants for their rental property.

Savills Sunningdale 01344 626162.

What’s it like?

It’s a cool diner and has a delightful outside eating area with direct views over the green common. The staff are very friendly, and you can see the glossy, scrumptious chickens on the rotisserie.

And the food?

French and delicious: roasted chickens, homemade burgers, steak baguettes. However, it has to be said, they serve one of the best club sandwiches I’ve ever tasted. I try not to go there every lunchtime.

Esmond Elliot, associate at Knight Frank Wandsworth, recommends his favourite place to lunch.

Cornish cream London families are migrating west for the finest homes in Cornwall

T

wenty years ago, retirees relocated to chocolate box cottages in Cornwall. A decade ago, bonusdriven City boys scooped up second homes in the hotspots of Fowey, Rock and St Mawes.

And now there’s a new trend of young London families cashing in their chips to move permanently to the western-most point of England, according to Jonathan Cunliffe, head of Savills’ Truro office.

The value gap has never been greater between London and Cornwall, with Cornwall now outperforming the capital, according to Savills Research, so it’s a good time to relocate.

“Londoners are selling £3 million townhouses in Fulham or Clapham and buying £1.25 to £1.5 million Cornish farmhouses with holiday cottages for added income, as well as a £750,000 London pied-a-terre,” Cunliffe explains.

The second home in the capital is used primarily Monday to Friday when one partner stays in London for work, while the other partner lives in Cornwall with the children. “It’s clever, because the family keeps a foothold in London for investment purposes,” he points out.

Values, particularly in banker surf havens, took a battering during the economic recession, with some dropping as low as 40 per cent off the peak in 2007.

However, close to Falmouth, Truro and Wadebridge, where good schools and shops can be found, prices are nearly back to peak levels.

This isn’t deterring young Londoners in their thirties and forties, who are getting so much more for their money,” notes Cunliffe. “They already know the area, as they were brought up or holidayed here, or friends have settled in the district.”

Other draws are the new University of Cornwall campuses (off-shoots of the University of Exeter) and thriving businesses such as the Pendennis Shipyard,

marine drilling company Fugro Seacore, Seasalt Clothing, Research Instruments, H2OK Systems and Watson-Marlow Pumps Group.

A mild climate, excellent schools, beaches and water sports are big attractions too. And restaurants like Nathan Outlaw’s Michelin-starred Outlaw’s Fish Kitchen at Port Isaac, Rick Stein’s seafood empire, Jamie Oliver’s Fifteen on Watergate Bay, the Gurnard’s Head at St Ives and The Cove at Falmouth’s Maenporth Beach are upping the epicurean game.

With the advent of broadband, newcomers work two days a week from home, commuting the rest of the time to London by rail or flights to Gatwick. “Most people don’t need to be in the office five days a week any more,” comments Cunliffe.

Whereas second-homers stuck to cottages a distance way on the coast, Cunliffe says this new breed of buyer prefers townhouse living in Truro or Falmouth “to cut down on commuting and walk to school or the office”. It’s about making life easy, swapping a bustling metropolis for the cream of the crop.

Standing ovation for Clapham It’s the rise and rise of this southern star with the entrance of Knight Frank finds Cheryl Markosky

F

rom humble beginnings as the Saxon village of Clopeham – the village (ham) by the hill (clop) – Clapham is now sizzlingly high on the thermometer of London’s hotspots.

One surefire sign of its mercury-busting appeal is the fact that upper-end agents are advancing on Clapham just like the groovy singletons, young professionals and families who are also calling it home.

Latest to hit the block in buzzy Clapham Old Town is Knight Frank, whose current soft launch leads up to an official launch next month.

Robert French (pictured), the man behind Knight Frank’s new office in The Polygon, says: “We’ve been covering the area happily from our Wandsworth and Battersea premises, but now there will be extra focus on Clapham itself.”

By being right on the spot, French believes the new Clapham bureau can bring a global element to the patch compared to smaller agents.

The new office can service the huge new trend of Chelsea and Kensington buyers coming south to the Old Town. “Prices are so high in some prime quarters that even at the top end of the Clapham market you still get much more for your money,” points out French.

With the diversity of shops, bars, and restaurants in this lively district, French suggests Clapham is going through a “second gentrification process”. He also argues that Clapham’s sparky aura is enhanced by the fact that there’s a higher turnover of residents. “People do schooling years here and then move to the countryside”.

When asked whether Knight Frank opening its doors in the heart of the Old Town is a symbol of Clapham’s success, not unlike Starbucks or Waitrose arriving, French is too modest to include his firm in this luminary list. But he does accept that Knight Frank setting up camp “shows a lot has changed and indicates where Clapham’s going”.

Rock ‘n’ roll art launch

L

ive Aid and rock legend Sir Bob Geldof was a celebrity visitor at the launch of a photography exhibition staged by Raven Art Society and sponsored by John D Wood and Speechly Bircham.

The exhibition, open by appointment until 30 October, features the work of rock and roll royalty photographer Carinthia West, Australian Nick Delaney, and Spain’s Curro de los Rios presenting his inaugural London show.

A successful model, actress and journalist, Carinthia West has photographed many of her celebrity friends in private and intimate settings. She also captured pictures of the infamous Pink Floyd pig flying above Battersea Power Station during the cover shoot of the Animals album. Her images are due to be included in a forthcoming Pink Floyd exhibition.

Sir Bob Geldof is pictured at the launch of the Raven Art Society Autumn Exhibition with the society’s Ghislaine Nassif and Spanish photographer Curro De Los Rios.

Register for Luxury Property Show Registration is now open for this year’s Luxury Property Show, which will showcase some of the world’s most prestigious homes in the world.

The 2014 event takes place at London’s exclusive Hurlingham Club on 4 and 5 November and will offer an unprecedented portfolio of luxury properties from ski chalets to Surrey mansions, and from Caribbean villas to beach view homes in the most desirable locations on the planet.

A full schedule of events and seminars includes a VIP reception hosted by TV property personality Melissa Porter. “This year’s show is looking to be the best yet and an essential diary date for anyone looking at luxury properties. I will be talking about some of the latest trends,” said Melissa.

“Portugal is an up-and-coming destination and the US continues to impress. In some quarters we are seeing an increased demand for luxury urban properties, where entrepreneurs want to cut down on commuting time.

Elsewhere, the vacation sector is showing renewed interest in the Caribbean, for example, and also an increased desire to buy off-plan.”

South magazine is an official media partner of the show. Free registration is now open at www.theluxurypropertyshow.com.

WORD ON THE STREET Honours for Clapham Development company Grainger walked away with two honours for its successful Macaulay Walk scheme in Clapham Old Town at this year’s Sunday Times 2014 British Home Awards.

At the ceremony at the London Marriott in Grosvenor Square, the company was awarded Best Mixed-Use Development and Development of the Year for the scheme of houses and apartments completed in the last 12 months. Assael Architecture, architects behind the venture, won Architect of the Year.

Mark Woodrow, Grainger development director, said: “Macaulay Walk has been one of our most successful developments and we believe this is down to our commitment to create a development which is not only sympathetic to the history of the site, but also compliments the surrounding architecture.”

Lets offer John D Wood has expanded its offering south of the river with the acquisition of the Duck & Hedges lettings agency on Clapham Common South Side.

The team from Duck & Hedges will join John D Wood’s existing Lettings team, managed by Adam Ball, in the Clapham office at 47 Balham Hill. Together they will let and manage an extensive portfolio of rental properties in Clapham, Balham, Battersea, Tooting Bec and Streatham.

Tim van der Schyff, John D Wood lettings director, said: “I am confident the newly expanded team will become a dominant force in South West London, which remains one of London’s most popular area for professional renters and will grow from strength to strength.”

Canny sellers are going offline As talk of a mansion tax increases in the run-up to next year’s general election, canny individuals trying to sell their homes at the right price are keeping them strictly offline.

Many are telling their estate agents to place print advertising only, to avoid creating a footprint on property portals such as Rightmove and Zoopla, as reported in the Sunday Times On The Home Front column by Helen Davies.

“Savvy sellers are instructing estate agents to advertise their properties ‘offmarket’ – that is, only on paper – in the hope that any trace of potential price reductions can be erased,” she said.

“And owners of £2m-plus properties don’t want any record of their homes tipping that barrier, just in case any punitive mansion tax kicks in after the next election. The taxman may cometh.”

How do you believe the recently proposed mansion tax would affect the housing market?

Tom Butler, sales manager, Sheraton Law Labour leader Ed Miliband believes this will only effect the very wealthy. However, in South West London many owners who have lived at the same address for most of their lives have seen their property prices increase but do not have much income. The mansion tax will deter these people from putting their houses on the market due to potential taxes owed.

It will reduce prices, as property is valued under the £2m bracket, and encourage lower offers. With a market that has slowed down dramatically after the buoyant first half of the year, this legislation is bound to cause new apprehension.

Patrick Rampton, director, Rampton Baseley Just as the Help to Buy scheme trickled up the market in a positive way, so might the mansion tax trickle down in a negative way.

It’s purely speculation, but people may well say they no longer want to upsize from a 2000 sq ft house at £1.5m to 3000 sq ft at £2.5m as they don’t want to be liable for the tax.

Does this mean that the £2m-plus market gets supressed in order that these properties may be sold? I really don’t know. In all honesty I’m not really sure it will come in: it’s not been thought out properly and how would the valuation process work? I suspect it would make a lot of lawyers rich as all these £2m-plus valuations go to the courts.

Huge scope at crescent S

eventy feet long and widening to 55ft at the far end, the garden of this substantial Victorian house in an admired quiet and leafy crescent is one of the largest Between the Commons.

Offering huge scope for expansion, the five-bedroom property is one of only a few semi-detached homes set back in the centre of the prestigious crescent at Blenkarne Road, which runs off Wandsworth Common. Cherished and lovingly maintained by the current owners, it’s on the market for the first time 30 years.

The elegant properties that form the crescent are highly regarded for their large gardens, and this garden is bigger than most. Thanks to its position at the turn of the road, the house enjoys a plot that continues to widen as far as its rear boundary.

Several neighbouring homes have already extended their kitchen sideways and converted the basement, but thanks to this property’s extra-wide footprint, any rear extensions to the ground or lower ground levels would gain valuable extra width and square footage.

You approach the house through a front garden that has a handy side passage to the rear garden. The property is already partly extended with a fully fitted kitchen and breakfast room, which together with the rear reception leads out onto a terrace with automatic awning. Steps lead down to the large lawn surrounded by mature shrubs, hedges and trees.

The two elegant receptions include high ornate ceilings, doors, fireplaces and windows and can link together as one large entertaining space when needed.

The extensive basement has access to a garden store.

Beginner’s luck A first-time venture is proving popular in the Tonsleys, reports Cheryl Markosky

F

irst steps, first day at school and first love are all seminal experiences in our lives. But what can be more ground-breaking than developing your first home?

Management consultant Simon Mawdsley has taken first steps as a property developer, renovating his first home on Alma Road.

“It was a complete wreck,” he says of the Victorian house he found on Zoopla while on a Spanish beach 14 months ago. As Mawdsley had lived in the area, he knew it was a good location and could attract buyers once he’d refurbished it.

Mawdsley also felt he had the right credentials for the job. “I spent my childhood on building sites, because my grandfather was an electrician. As a consultant, I work on plenty of projects – and this was just another one.”

Sensibly, Mawdsley stuck to what he knew – and hired experts when he needed help. For instance, when the back wall needed to be propped up, he engaged the services of a project manager knowledgeable about managing structures.

Another hitch that slowed down the process was

getting permission from the council. “Initially, drawings were rejected, because the planners looked at someone else’s plans by mistake. The delay meant the builders had nothing to do for six weeks.”

Yet for a novice, Mawdsley had no other glitches.

The budget changed as the build went on – spending double what he’d originally anticipated – but it was all worth it in the end.

“I spent extra to ensure floors on the ground storey were at the same level and I completely stripped out the wiring. It was so dangerous the walls were live, which gave you that nice, tingling feeling,” he says.

Wearing rubber soles to avoid being electrocuted was one thing. Another was going back to bare brick to get the fundamentals right. Mawdsley even rendered the front of the house to produce a clean, mock Regencystyle façade that matched the neighbouring property.

Luckily, Mawdsley’s architect/designer girlfriend was on hand to advise on the colour scheme: contemporary greys on the walls and whites on woodwork. “It’s in keeping with what people would want,” he adds.

Other pluses include new cornicing, skylights to admit

natural light and knocking through and extending for a new kitchen/dining room and double reception space, adding an additional 100 sq ft.

And there’s a new loft bedroom and large bathroom,“ produced by raising the roof more than half a metre,” points out Mawdsley.

Selling agent Nick Udovicic from First Union believes Mawdsley’s creation is ideal for a third move when that second kid comes along.

“Simon’s done all the tough stuff, leaving room for a buyer to customize. It’s all about the finish and the architectural features, like bi-fold doors leading onto the garden and generous ceiling heights in the master bedroom.”

Maudsley’s second and third projects will bring even more to the Wandsworth area. Watch this space.

All right on the night A house that looked ship-shape inevitably needed work, finds Cheryl Markosky

E

verything, except the bathroom, appeared in good order when Anja Bates and her husband Paul, who works in the City, uncovered a Victorian house on Eccles Road.

But when they got down to it, you probably won’t be surprised to hear that all manner of things needed sorting.

“We had to re-wire, re-plaster and change the radiators and bathroom, so we ended up living on a building site,” explains Anja, founder of a children’s toy company (www.spottygiraffe.com).

The Bates also built a side return extension to create a capacious, ground floor reception room and kitchen leading onto the garden. And on the upper floor, two bedrooms and a bathroom were tucked into the loft, offering five bedrooms in total for a growing family.

All the renovations have paid off, however, as the house went to sealed bids and sold for over the asking

price of £1.2 million, after being on the market for only five days.

Anja believes her property sold rapidly because “all the walls are white, the kitchen’s simple and everything’s finished to a high standard. And I installed matching stainless steel sockets and switches as it’s worth spending on detail.”

The most used room in the house is the kitchen. “We spend most of our time there,” points out Anja. She particularly likes the way you can access it from the hallway and living room.

But now with three offspring aged four, two and seven months, the Bateses are moving out of London.

“We need a garden. The one here is perfect for grown-up barbecues and we have the Common at the end of the road, but I’d like more space for the children,” Anja says.

Ironically, the family’s new, larger home in Hampshire

needs rewiring, re-plastering, a new bathroom, and the kitchen is to be relocated to another room. However, the Bateses can “move themselves around” as the builders progress, and as they’ll be living on-site, “the builders will see us and get on with it,” suggests Anja.

Jonathan Dyson of Hamptons International, the agent behind the sale of Eccles Road, says the sale’s success was down to offering “absolutely the right product at the right price and Anja decorating the house in a clean, crisp, slightly Scandinavian way. She didn’t try to be too clever.”

Even in this softer market, properties will sell for more than the asking price if the finish is good. “But,” Dyson cautions, “there’s no room for over=ambitious pricing.”

ANJA’S BUILDING TIPS • • • •

Think about lighting early on before you plaster.

Don’t make the builders too many cups of tea – they’re there to work and not to be your friends.

Don’t be afraid to say ‘we have to do it again’ to workmen.

You’ll probably have to make compromises somewhere along the line, so decide what they will be.

65 years of China Special report by Sally Wang, Associate Director of Sina Overseas Properties UK

B

eijing time 4:00 am, 24 September 2014: Alibaba went public and became the second largest internet company in the world, next to Google.

I would personally call this a historical moment in the 65-year history of China since 1949, in the way that it reflects the progress of a country from ‘being behind’ to ‘catching up’ to ‘ahead of the game’ in some fields.

On a TV programme currently broadcasting nationally in China to celebrate its 65th birthday, some figures caught my eye. The latest Fortune 500 report shows that in 2014, 100 of the top 500 companies in the world are from China, ranking number two globally. This is in stark contrast to the early 1950s, when the total income of the biggest 500 Chinese companies could not even match the turnover of General Motors at the time. China’s GDP has increased by 122 times from 1953 to 2013.

Now we cannot use years, months or even days to describe the speed and scale of China’s growth, and so seconds have come into the picture. Every second, the Chinese are spending 570,000 RMB (approximately £57,100). Every second, three Chinese are now travelling abroad.

With the speed of Chinese buying up London properties in the past year, we are going through some historical moments in the influence that Chinese property buyers will have in the UK, and also the ways UK property developers and agents choose to approach the Chinese market.

The Chinese property market has slowed down and the economy is developing fast, and the influence of technology and the internet is also changing buyers’ behaviour, challenging the traditional ways of marketing overseas properties in China.

As leader of the domestic and overseas property markets, Sina Overseas Properties UK has introduced a set of ways to help UK property and property-related industries to reach the Chinese market. sally.wang@sina-vantage.com

Homes brewing T

he Ram Quarter development in the centre of Wandsworth will provide 661 new homes on the site of the former Ram Brewery, most recently run

by Young’s until the brewery’s closure in 2006.

With a landmark residential tower and 9500 square metres of new shops, cafes, bars and restaurants, the Greenland Group development will preserve, restore and refurbish many of the site’s historic buildings, creating a new micro-brewery and museum. Porter, stout and beer has been brewed at the site since the 1500s.

Access to the River Wandle will be opened up and landscaped to provide a riverside walk and a new footbridge across the river. Pedestrian access to the town centre will be improved.

The first phase will include 312 studio, one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments and duplexes across six new buildings. Almost 250 underground parking spaces will be available to buy separately.

Wenhao Qian, Greenland Group general manager, said: “We are creating a dynamic new public realm at the Ram Quarter, which will become an intrinsic part of this established London neighbourhood.”

Asquith collection Landview Properties is set to launch Asquith, Spencer Park, a luxurious collection of four sixbedroom, stucco-fronted houses in Wandsworth, each spanning over 4500 sq ft and inspired by the magnificent homes of Regent’s Park.

Asquith has private access to the exclusive 3.8acre gardens of Spencer Park, which also hosts private parties and gatherings. The area is popular with celebrity residents and many reside in the 26 houses surrounding the parkland.

Emma Seaton, residential director at Savills Wandsworth, said: “The Wandsworth property market is currently dominated by UK buyers, who represent 74 per cent of our purchasers in the top price band of £1.5m-plus. A number of buyers are looking to move out of prime central London to a larger family home in a quieter, greener area.”

Time to stand up and be counted Austin Thorogood, director of Northcote Road estate agency John Thorogood, says yes to new property portal OnTheMarket

I

’ve always been one for speaking my mind. Smoke, mirrors and suffering fools are not my thing. Hardly ideal for an estate agent, I hear you cry, but after more than two decades successfully selling around the Commons, I beg to differ.

My friendly team speak from the heart and focus on the truth. One or two people’s noses might end up out of joint but clients respect us for giving honest advice, cutting through waffle and tackling issues head on. Achieving the best results is what matters and often comes down to having the freedom to say yes or no.

And there’s nothing wrong with saying no. Scotland proved that with their recent and historic triumph for the status quo. It was safer together than to stand up and be independent. Better the devil you know. And just this month John Thorogood said no to an offer over £1000 per square foot, no to a buyer trying to ‘chip’ the price by £100,000 on exchange day, no to a vendor asking us to market their property at 15 per cent higher than our valuation, and no to a request to rent one of our catchment properties for just one week!

But sometimes things need shaking up. Sometimes we should vote yes for change. In January 2015, estate agents face the biggest marketing revolution since PrimeLocation arrived in 2001. OnTheMarket.com launches, determined to take on the Zoopla/ Rightmove duopoly, and I for one have voted yes. Yes, that is, to ditching one of these huge portals (a requirement) in favour of the new kid on the block.

I’m not alone, of course. Some of the biggest industry names not only agree but also conceived OnTheMarket.com in the first place. Why? Well, aside from shifting the balance of power, something Alex Salmond failed at, it’s to keep a lid on spiralling costs and to maintain quality control. It will benefit both agents and their clients.

Zoopla, originally a basic house price index, and to a lesser extent Rightmove, simply fail to look after sellers, who in the end are the people that fund their sites. Endless statistics such as ‘average pounds per square foot’ for every borough, postcode and street are fine for investment yields. But they don’t truly inform a typical buyer looking for a family home on a pretty street, close to the Common or by one of the popular schools.

Neither does date-stamping when a property was ‘first listed’ or marking properties ‘most recent’ when vendors and agents repeatedly cheat the system. All of this, plus the threat of unregulated private sales, has turned off many an agent. We can only hope OnTheMarket.com chooses to be different.

Whether you agree with me and the 3500 other agents about to make the switch is moot. Currently, every Northcote Road agent advertises on both Zoopla and Rightmove, and while not all of them can or will swap, everything will change.

There’ll be three websites to trawl and the already highly competitive market between agents will become more interesting, no doubt. Once again we’ll all need to stand up and differentiate ourselves.

We definitely say yes to that.

ortgage holders’ ears would have pricked up when Mark Carney, Governor of the Bank of England, warned households to prepare for higher costs in the coming months because the point at which interest rates start to rise is getting closer. However, he also stressed that there was no ‘pre-set course’ for rate rises and repeated that any increases would be ‘limited and gradual’.

The good news is that lenders have one eye on their year-end figures and are ramping up their lending volumes to meet them. Subsequently, there are some excellent fixed rates available over two and five years so borrowers who are concerned about rate rises should act now to obtain some security.

While five-year fixes give protection for longer, it’s important not to fix for longer than you are absolutely sure about, or you may have to pay a hefty penalty to get out of the mortgage early. A two-year fix might be a better option if you are on a higher loan-to-value or have a tight budget and are hoping that the value of your property might rise, so that you can move onto a lower LTV in two years’ time. Or if you are unsure of future plans or life-changing events and don’t want to commit longer than two years.

Rate cuts are tempting you to borrow, says Duncan Farmer

T

here is no logic to markets: no sooner have lenders started to cut their rates, particularly on fixed-rate mortgages, than applications for loans fall and house prices quickly follow suit.

With most of the big banks and building societies – and a few small ones – launching an autumn price war (they would prefer to call it a sale), now would appear to be a good time to borrow money. The problems seen earlier this year, with the introduction of changes to borrowing rules brought about by the Mortgage Market Review, appear to have eased. The process has got much faster as lenders get to grip with processing loans, and as they weed out unsuitable applicants early in the process.

Rates on five-year, fixed-rate mortgages have fallen below 3 per cent in the past few weeks- and Virgin Money has even introduced a six-year deal at 2.99 per cent. If you go back four and a half years, the best five-year fixed deal on the market was through HSBC and had a rate of 4.64 per cent. That might now look expensive, but at the time Barclays was forecasting that the Bank of England base rate would

Mark Harris SPF Private Clients

reach 5 per cent by 2015. Borrowers who had feared that, and took out the HSBC loan, may be kicking themselves for missing out on almost four years of rockbottom rates, but the good news is that if someone with a £500,000 repayment mortgage switched now they could get an even lower rate. If they could afford repayments of £2,850 at 4.64 per cent, they can surely afford the £2,390 it will cost them on 2.99 per cent.

The other good news is that, having spent the best part of five years repaying their loan at a higher rate, they will be welcomed by lenders whose biggest concern in the new environment of tighter lending is affordability. They will also have reduced some of the loan’s capital and seen the value of their home rise, especially in London, thereby bringing down dramatically the loan-to-value ratio they need.

Also, if they maintain their new monthly repayments at the old, higher level, and overpay by the £460 they are saving on the new rate, they will go a long way to reducing their outstanding debt, so that when they come off the fixed rate at the end of 2019, and see that mortgage rates are far higher, they will at least owe far less.

Boris’s plan is unworkable

Mansion fears As next year’s general election draws nearer there are fears that a Labour government could introduce a so-called mansion tax on homes worth more than £2 million. Savills has already said that fears of such an imposition are slowing down sales of properties at that level, but the new tax is unlikely.

Labour’s poll rating fell by four points after it was announced, senior Labour politicians have called it a punishment tax and economists say that a far fairer measure would be to re-value the council tax bands, which currently mean that people living in a home worth £321,000 pay the same as someone in a multimillion pound mansion.

An equally bizarre but headlinegrabbing proposal came from Boris Johnson, the Mayor of London, who wants to stop foreign buyers snapping up the capital’s homes. While that may win votes from young Londoners trying to get a foot on the property ladder, it will find no favour with employers in the City, who rely on expertise from France, the US, Far East and elsewhere.

People lured here to work in highly paid, relatively low-taxed jobs contribute to London’s success as a financial hub and contribute hugely to the economy and diversity of our city.

And if nothing else, in practical terms, Boris’s is plan is unworkable.

southside As seen by Jonathan Dyson, area sales director for Hamptons Battersea and Wandsworth Trick or treat?

A few years ago, the last day of October would see the usual tap on the door and I would dutifully go out, armed with a small bowl of sweets. On the doorstep would be the glorious – and often not so glorious – youth of today in standard jeans or tracksuit, and occasionally shell suit (an unusual choice given the amount of naked flame on this particular evening), with hands cupped asking for favours.

I would proffer some rudimentary sweets – normally whatever had been on offer at Somerfield – which would be treated with relative scorn. “Don’t you have any cash?” was often the next line, to which I would smile and shake my head. Off they would shuffle, no doubt to the next hapless victim.

These days, however, it’s a completely different story. As All Hallows’ Eve approaches, windows and gardens across the neighbourhood are garnered with all things spooky. Pumpkins are cut, cobwebs are hung and suddenly the streets resemble a cross between a Harry Potter and a Shaun of the Dead movie.

There’s a house on Earlsfield Road (anyone who regularly drives past knows the one) that dresses up the entire front façade and front garden for any occasion. Goodness only knows what the neighbours must think.

The evening visitors are different too: long gone are the ‘yoof’ of yesteryear and in their place are ushered charming little Tarquin and Arrabella, in their best ghoul and ghost outfits, who are positively delighted to be receive my latest fruit-based, non-dairy, gluten-free, lactose-free, hypoallergenic, additive-free offering.

As house prices have risen, the whole of South West London has become ‘gentrified’, in estate agent speak. In many respects, this is a good thing: we have better restaurants, nicer shops and safer neighbourhoods. Every now and again, however, I do miss the good old days when the ‘trick’ was a firework through the letterbox, or I was sworn at simply for not handing over cash.

Hmm, on second thoughts, maybe not.

Extensive use of glass emphasises the spaciousness and highlights the skilful design’s clean lines.

An impressive drawing room with smoked oak flooring extends across the ground floor and features a home cinema, multi-fuel fireplace, and two sets of French windows with views over Wandsworth Common. Double doors lead to the gallery and library.

Sliding glass doors from the state-of-the-art kitchen’s dining area lead to a secluded terrace with steps to the 104ft garden, which features outdoor lighting, a garden store and workshop, and a secure gate into Spencer Park.

Satisfaction in Putney The Rolling Stones, supported by The Who, played here in 1963 as part of their first UK tour. The Who returned the following year supported by The Tremeloes.

Built in 1913 to serve St Mary’s Church, Hotham Hall in West Putney staged concerts, public meetings and other community events. Two British prime ministers gave speeches here in the 1930s: Sir Winston Churchill and Sir Anthony Eden.

Two sisters, Blanche and Grace Miles, originally donated the land for St Mary’s Hall, as it was then known. Their legacy has since been converted into exclusive apartments, one of which is now for sale. The two-bedroom home on the first and second floors includes a contemporary kitchen, a balcony and off-street parking.

Wow, unbelievable!

N

o one had heard anything like it. In early 1978 the song and its soaring vocals rocketed Kate Bush, a Kent doctor’s daughter, to the top of the charts and instant stardom at the age of 19.

Kate controversially didn’t sing her most famous number during her triumphant return to the stage this year for 22 sell-out Before the Dawn concerts at Hammersmith’s Eventim Apollo. But she did name her house after it.

Six-bedroom, six-bathroom Wuthering Heights, which Bush bought in the 1980s, stands in an acre of landscaped grounds in Court Road, Eltham, and backs onto the fairways of England’s oldest golf club at Royal Blackheath. Maybe Heathcliff was a member.

The redbrick mansion has superb entertaining spaces that once resonated with the swooping sounds of that unique voice. Total Kick Inside space is almost 5735 sq ft including garage, and the current post-Bush owners have planning consent for another three bedrooms, three bathrooms and a swimming pool.

The shy singersongwriter who played her first gig at the Rose of Lee pub (now the Dirty South) in Lewisham moved to Berkshire in the 1990s and Devon in 2004. You just know the new Wuthering Heights owner will be knocking on the front door singing: “Heathcliff, it’s me, Cathy, I’ve come home!”

It’ll wear off after a while.

Spectacular gardens are among Kent’s finest S

issinghurst Place is an imposing country house with almost eight acres of superb south-facing gardens and grounds opened to the public down the years under the National Gardens Scheme, in conjunction with nearby Sissinghurst Castle.

The spectacular gardens are included in the Kent Compendium of Historic Parks and Gardens.

A house has stood on the site since the late 15th Century. The original property was acquired in 1842 by Mrs Cleaver and her mother, Lady Louisa de Spaen, who commissioned the building of a grand Georgianstyle mansion, and also had the then hamlet’s name changed from Milkehouse Street to Sissinghurst. A servants wing and offices, designed by celebrated architect Norman Shaw, were added in 1868.

The mansion was destroyed by fire in 1948 leaving the servants wing to be converted into a house, which was extended four years ago. The fascinating ruin of the mansion now merges seamlessly with the house of today, which is on the market for the first time in 30 years.

This charming seven-bedroom country home, set in a conservation area in the village of Sissinghurst, features high ceilings with decorative cornice work, painted interior wood-panelled doors, oak flooring and underfloor heating. Total living space of more than 5800 sq ft includes a self-contained one-bedroom annexe.

In the gardens, mellow brick walls enhanced with solanum, roses, wisteria and flowerbeds provide a delightful backdrop to the heated swimming pool.

Other recreational facilities include a tennis court, partially screened by a wall of rambling roses.

country view Special report

by Richard Mann of the residential team at Savills Haywards Heath

A

s we move towards winter, the most popular houses selling at the moment are turnkey properties that owners can move straight into. However, we still continue to have good interest in properties that do require a full overhaul. We recently sold a property near Henfield at the asking price of £1m and we had four people interested. It needed completely gutting and refurbishing.

We are extremely lucky to have some excellent prep and public schools near us, and these are a major influence on London buyers considering a move to this area. The excellent transport links up to London are another major factor.

We noticed a lull in the market in September as people’s attention was drawn to the Scottish referendum, and when the possibility of a ‘yes’ vote was apparent, the whole story took up even more attention. Certainly the market below £1m is the strongest at present, with the market between £1m and £2m remaining healthy, but not as we had seen earlier in the year.

The election next year is already having an effect on the market, especially with the threat of mansion tax looming. Mansion tax for properties over the £2m bracket and the press coverage of this issue continue to cause difficulties in this area of the market.

For sellers getting their property ready to sell, well-presented houses that are tidy, well decorated and not cluttered make potential buyers feel more welcome. Small finishing touches, which are often left unattended, can sometimes make all the difference when people are viewing a property.

We are hopeful that with the market going off the boil in London, more applicants will be coming to this area, having been riding the market for some time now.

country vibe Dominick Brown, director of Savills Sevenoaks, gives South a guided tour of Plaxtol in Kent ATTRACTIONS Kent has long been known as the Garden of England, and dotted across this wonderful county is a variety of villages from sleepy hamlets to bustling centres of activity.

Situated between Sevenoaks and Tonbridge is the village of Plaxtol, set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

It’s rural yet conveniently close to larger towns. It’s easy to see why it is so popular with our buyers, and properties we market in Plaxtol always generate and great deal of interest.

SHOPPING Plaxtol has a village store selling a variety of items including fresh fruit and vegetables, a post office and a butcher. It is in essence a typical country village, but with larger towns such as Sevenoaks and Tunbridge Wells so near, access to a wider variety of shops is still convenient.

TOP STREETS The village may be small but its history dates back over 400 years, and this is reflected in the charming buildings. The main residential street is called simply The Street and here you’ll find a variety of houses from historic cottages to large detached family houses set in beautifully landscaped gardens.

Further afield, the area has a number of National Trust properties as well as some excellent bridle paths and walks.

Keen golfers can visit the Wildernesse Golf Club in Seal, Knole Golf Club in Sevenoaks, and Nizels Golf and Leisure Centre in Hildenborough. There is also the Sevenoaks Swimming and Leisure Centre.

SCHOOLS There are a number of excellent schools in this part of Kent.

The village itself offers Plaxtol Primary School, while nearby Tonbridge boasts Judd boys grammar, Weald of Kent and Tonbridge girls grammar. Independent schools include Sevenoaks School, Tonbridge and Walthamstow Hall, Solefields and New Beacon preparatory schools.

TRANSPORT Sevenoaks, less than seven miles from Plaxtol, has frequent services to London Bridge, Cannon Street and Charing Cross in around 32 minutes. Borough Green is four miles and has services to London Victoria in around 50 minutes. The M20 at Wrotham Heath (4.5 miles) gives access to the M25, Gatwick and Heathrow Airports and the Channel Tunnel Terminus.

RESTAURANTS AND PUBS There are plenty of good country pubs in the area and in the centre of the village is the Papermakers Arms. Both restaurant and pub, it offers a good selection of wines and ales, along with an excellent Sunday roast. Nearby are the Golding Hop and the Plough, again offering a typical country pub experience.

LEISURE The village cricket club has successful league teams and also a social Sunday team. There’s a youth group, local history group, tennis club, and also an active and enthusiastic amateur dramatic society known as the Plaxtol Players, putting on both plays and outdoor productions.

Height of perfection in Cobham W

hen the owners of Spring House moved to Cobham from London, they saw it as part of their gradual migration from city to country.

For them, Cobham has struck the perfect balance; the Surrey Hills are a short drive away, and Cobham high street a mere stroll and London a short journey by train.

Spring House was built just three years ago by luxury developers, Stonehaven, whose prime properties are designed to the highest specification. “Stonehaven is mostly known for building larger homes in the area. This is one of a very few smaller properties built by them. Those hallmarks are everywhere in the house, sounding echoes of the aesthetics and classical proportions of the Victorian age in every corner There are all sorts of details to this detached family home, The high ceilings, the wide, walnut veneered doors, the tall skirting boards and deep coving - the architectural touches that make you forget you’re living in a home that was only built a few years ago.

Accommodation over three floors with under floor heating to the first two floors Four/ five bedrooms with 2 bathrooms with Villeroy & Boch sanitary ware and HansGrohe fittings, a downstairs cloakroom and a drawing room with Sonos sound system with in-ceiling speakers also present in the kitchen/family room which has such a sense of space with large white glossy floor tiles and units that contrast beautifully with the dark grey granite worktops. Also there are numerous appliances which include a Neff oven, combi microwave oven, warming drawer and five induction hobs with overhead extractor fan.

Daylight pours into Spring House from the windows, skylights and wide doors fold back to lead you from the kitchen/dining/family room on to the south facing rear garden and Sun terrace. Outside there is off street parking and a garage.

The property is in a convenient location. Cobham town centre is a very short walk away and offers a good number of shops and boutiques, popular coffee outlets, cafes and restaurant and is close to a range of excellent local schools both private and state such as ACS, Reeds, Notre Dame and Parkside.

Special report by Tertius North, lettings manager for Hamptons International Dulwich

T

he rental market has seen a shift in dynamics over the last few months, bringing to an end a two-year period of nearor-below-inflation price growth.

Increasing demand from new tenants and a fall in the supply of homes available to rent are putting pressure on rental values, particularly in London and the rest of the South of England.

There were 22 per cent more applicants looking for rental homes in July compared to the previous year, but the stock of homes for them to rent is down by 6 per cent over the same period. There are now five tenants looking for every property available to let, up from four at the start of the year.

The recovering economy, a pause in the sales market, and migration into London and the rest of the South are fuelling demand, whereas strong capital appreciation in recent months and worries about future house price growth are causing some investors to sell stock, which is reducing supply.

In the short-to-medium term, it’s likely that these market conditions will cause rents in England and Wales to grow faster than wages and inflation. While a continued economic recovery means that rental demand is likely to remain strong, keeping upward pressure on rents, slow wage growth will limit the rate at which they can rise.

Much of the pressure in the rental market is surfacing in London and the South East. There are particularly strong rises in demand in the South of the country and many of the more affordable London markets. As a result, we expect Greater London and the South of England to see higher rental inflation than the rest of the country.

The outlook has changed for most sectors of the rental market but prime central London areas such as Mayfair, Knightsbridge, Chelsea and Kensington look set to remain subdued. Unlike less expensive central areas, high prices are limiting demand and good levels of stock in prime areas are keeping growth flat.

We’re forecasting rental price growth of 5.5 per cent in 2014 in central London, but prime central London areas are likely to see very little price growth, if any.

the last word Stephanie Mant, associate sales manager for Cluttons Clapham, gives her answers to South

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

I started my career in building surveying but had dabbled in estate agency from a young age. I decided agency was far more personable, and I much preferred the fastpaced, day-to-day nature of the industry.

and financial loss during the buying process.

I also believe that stamp duty has a negative net impact on the economy, and I would take measures to reduce it.

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

I’d encourage it! Working in agency can result in a thoroughly rewarding career with plenty of hard work and fun along the way. It requires dedication and a natural ability to be sociable and friendly.

HOMES TO VIEW

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

I enjoy the fast dynamic of working within property. Probably the biggest highlight for me is when, on completion day, an excited buyer walks into the office to collect the keys for their new home.

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

I have found there is a strong need to speak to our clients on a daily basis, keeping them up-to-date with where the market is ‘on the street’ rather than nationally.

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

I would put some framework in place to protect a buyer or seller from the emotional rollercoaster of either party pulling out of a sale or purchase. The impact I see from broken chains is distressing and measures to mitigate this would alleviate much heartache

continue to rise. The South London property market will always be popular.

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

I would definitely need to be near the Commons, but also have easy access to transport links to the city. This would provide the perfect mix of greenery and buzz of city life.

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

Sales: 020 7768 1811 Lettings: 7768 2205 I am a property girl through and 020 through clapham@cluttons.com so my alternative career would not be that different. Interior design would be a possibility.

Or an architect would be an interesting choice.

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

South London has a fantastic wealth of commons and provides an escape from busy London life. The various village clusters mean that residents enjoy peaceful surroundings while being close to central London.

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

In the short-term, the elections are bound to have an impact, causing somewhat of a slowdown. However, I believe the market will
