Q&A

ASKTHEEXPERT

Shall we buy our first home or carry on renting? We have a fairly small deposit of £50,000.

W N T

Rebecca May, sales manager at Kinleigh Folkard & Hayward Earlsfield, replies ...

ecent figures show that the average deposit required for first-time buyers in London stands at £70,000, so a budget of £50,000 is certainly at the lower end of the spectrum. However, with property prices rising faster than wages, there is certainly an argument that even with a small deposit you should strike while the iron is hot. Before you commit, though, it is vital you do your research to determine what mortgage options are available to you, and how much the monthly repayments are likely to be. Speak to a mortgage adviser so they can give you a detailed appraisal of your options. You also need to factor in other costs such as stamp duty, legal fees, surveys and moving costs, which will all be on top of your deposit. Mortgage rates vary depending on the size of your deposit, length of mortgage term, and whether it is a repayment or interest-only loan. Generally speaking, the higher your deposit the lower your interest rate will be. For example, a £50,000 deposit on a £400,000 property would leave you with monthly mortgage payments of approximately £1600 on a repayment loan. For a property worth £500,000 these payments would increase to around £2000. In Earlsfield, a budget of up to £400,000 would buy a home at the lower end of the local market. However, for £500,000 you could purchase a lovely one-bedroom garden flat in central Earlsfield, or a two-bedroom flat a short walk from the train station. With average rents for equivalent properties currently at £1800 per month, you can see the financial advantages of buying over renting. Although many people enjoy the freedoms of renting, if you have done your research, have the finances in place and you can afford the repayments, taking your first step on the property ladder can have many long-term benefits. • KFH 020 8739 2068

MARKETVIEW Changes in stamp duty hitting people paying over £1 million are still slowing the market, says Jenny Knight.

DON

ONE SOU-MANMAN TH L SION SIN ON

hile buyers of £1 million pads only have to pay an extra £3750 in tax, £43,750 up from £40,000 under the old system, the tax increases on more expensive homes are eye-watering. Admittedly the tax is now levied in bands instead of one rate applied to the whole price. The tax on the price above £1.5 million has risen to a stonking 12 per cent, enough to make even the rich blink a bit. The tax is now paid in bands instead of one rate being levied on the whole price. The tax on the price above £1.5 million has risen to a stonking 12 per cent, enough to make even the rich blink a bit. While the hardest hit are the super prime houses in central London, fears of interest rate rises and the traditional summer lull are also having an effect across South London. According to Jason Corbett of Sullivan Thomas with Carter Jonas the market below £1 million is active. And his belief is that people selling and buying above the £1.8 million mark will sooner or later have to gulp and accept the stamp duty rates. He says: “People thought the market would take off if the Tories won because the fear of mansion tax would have gone, but in fact they said: “Oh good. We don’t need to sell for a few more years.” Alex Oppenheim, of John D Wood, reckons the test of how people will react to stamp duty will not be clear until near Christmas. He says: “There is still a lot on the market between two and three million where the market is comparatively quiet. Our view is that the barometer is looking strong for later in the year. The drivers for moving are still there, tax planning, retirement, schools, down-sizing and people can only put off moving for so long. “We are seeing an increase in buyers registering. In the multi-million-pound properties in Kensington and Chelsea we may see some give on both sides and if a property has been owned a long time the owners may be prepared to grease the wheels to sell. In South London at two to three million the negotiation will depend on both sides of the transaction. People downsizing and paying less stamp duty may feel a little generous to those buying the more expensive house. “Deals are still being done. We sold a house south of the river for £3 million-plus, where £300,000 in stamp duty had to be paid, and we also sold one for £2.3 million to people downsizing from Chelsea, so their stamp duty presumably came from cash released from the sale of the Chelsea home. These are certainly large sums of money and people are not happy about it.”

THE WORD James Redington, operations director at Foxtons Balham, reports

OUTOF TOWNBUY

fter a busy start to autumn, the South London market continues to be full of activity as buyers and sellers now look towards the end of the year. We saw some great property deals following a competitive summer with demand from buyers significantly outreaching the supply of available properties - a trend seen not only in South London but across the whole London property market. With this in mind, we’ve brought some fantastic properties to the local market in Balham, including four new properties available now in the popular Byrne Road and more in the sought-after Heaver Estate. I haven’t wanted to mention Christmas as it seems frighteningly far away but, as happens every year, it will be upon us before we know it. A considerable number of buyers are looking forward to spending their first Christmas in their new homes, which would require securing the right property soon. We’ve recently had a fourbedroom apartment in Weir Road sold above asking price and another sold within a few days of coming onto the market, both with the same end-of-year £950,000 goal to be in and settled. A curved brick driveway leads to the front door of a My advice to buyers would be to take into account all aspects of four-bedroom house for sale in a quiet residential street the conveyancing process.

On the lettings side, the activity usually reaches its peak in September/ October, and we’re still busy placing young professional tenants in their new homes, as well as a number of students, graduates and corporate tenants. South London remains one of a few London areas still offering great value, with close proximity to central London but with lettings prices ranging between £300 per week for a onebedroom flat and £380 for a two-bedroom flat. As the market for lettings remains highly competitive and fast-paced, we advise 192 Acre Lane SW2 • 020 7733 4408 our tenants to start looking for properties up to a few months in advance. Where?

WORD ON THE STREET WITH THE SUPPLY AND DEMAND IMBALANCE STILL PROPPING UP MARKET VALUES, IS THE IMPENDING RATE RISE WELCOME?

ALEXANDRA ATTWOOD WINKWORTH STREATHAM

MODEL PUTNEY Community construction specialist Durkan is aiming for pole position in the social housing sector through a series of BIM (Building Information Modelling) projects across London and the South East. The BIM process enables 3D modelling and a far greater range of information to be gathered and more easily accessed for costing, planning, construction and post-build maintenance – useful for tenant services. Durkan’s BIM strategy continues at 100 Putney Common, a collection of 24 one, two and three-bedroom apartments on the edge of Putney Lower Common on the former Putney Hospital site, scheduled to launch this autumn. Hiltons Wharf – a scheme of 85 apartments overlooking Deptford Creek – is another BIM project by Durkan.

Every homeowner with a mortgage has got used to the historically low interest rates and this has without a doubt had a positive effect on the market. I personally feel that when the rate rises come they will be small and gradual as the Bank of England wouldn’t want it to have a negative effect on the economy. Lenders will still have some fantastic fixed rates on offer. Even though there are more properties being built, there will continue to be a shortage for the owner-occupier as the buy-to-let market continues to go from strength to strength. The only people who will benefit from the rate rises will be savers who have been suffering for a long time. I am sure they will be ecstatic, no matter how small it is.

STEPHANIE MANT   CLUTTONS CLAPHAM & BATTERSEA

The base rate rise is no doubt closer now than it has been at any time for the past six-and-a-half years. Our own expectation is for this to start nudging upwards by about 0.25 per cent every six months, starting in spring or summer next year. The magnitude of such small projected increases is unlikely to be solely responsible for a smoothening in house price growth. Other macro-economic factors are at play, which are affecting global markets like London. Chief of these at the moment is the plunge in oil prices, which may start to constrict capital flows from some of the OPEC markets the capital has traditionally relied upon, such as Russia and the Middle East. But as with any cycle, such ebbs and flows are normal.

>>GOOD MOVE At the top end, ‘one-man mansions’ with more living space and balconies plus higher spec kitchens and bathrooms are hitting the spot for first-time buyers. For those struggling to grasp a property ladder rung, it’s the affordability of studio flats that’s their big draw.

The Queen of Sheba by Sarah Michael

CERAMICSIN THECITY G

effrye Museum’s vibrant annual celebration of ceramics returns Friday 25 to Sunday 27 September, with a preview event on Thursday 24 September from 6 to 8.30pm. Ceramics in the City brings together the work of 50 potters from across the UK - a mix of leading names and rising talents - in a riot of colour, styles, textures and techniques. An exciting collection of work will be on sale, from classic home wares and lighting to ornamental and quirky one-off pieces. Delicate porcelain will be shown alongside earthy stoneware, and cool white glazes will contrast with colourful painted vessels and pots. Prices range from £10 for smaller pieces to several hundred pounds for large-scale creations. It’s free to get in. It’s a chance to meet the makers, browse, buy, watch and take part in demonstrations by featured potters. There are free ceramics-inspired creative workshops for children and families during the weekend. Ceramics in the City is part of the London Design Festival, which takes place 19-27 September. www.geffrye-museum.org.uk

>>GETTING DARKER Moody blues - deep, rich and elegant. They are a perfect foil for lots of colours, pink, grey, coral and sage and the still-ubiquitous metallics - especially copper. Perfect for the onset of autumn.

Multi-striped vase, £35, Habitat >>SEEING THROUGH IT Glass staircases - so interiors fashion forward a few years ago! When the advertising back pages of a certain staid newspaper make a splash with them every weekend, you know they’ve had their day.

>>POTTY ABOUT IT Printed, woven, knitted or glazed - items that look like they’ve been made rather than manufactured are appealing. These may not be crafts people’s one-offs but they are making themselves at home in our homes.

>>PICTURE PERFECT? How would studio photographers survive without them? Those zany, giant family images that adorn many a white-painted living room wall are big on impact and low on style. Snap out of it!

>>IT’S HALL RIGHT NOW! Wooden boards and modern ceramics look fine but it’s the complex patterns and rich colours of traditional floor tiles that really make an entrance – especially in a period home.

>>ON REFLECTION Genuine art deco is a beautiful thing but all those modern mirror-finished dressing tables and chests of drawers just say BHS, not boudoir glamour. >>BIG TURN OFF Size isn’t everything. Just how much bigger can TVs get? We used to watch a carefully disguised ‘box’ in the corner – now there’s a big, black elephant in many a room.

FROMSQUATTERS TOSWANKY The walls were covered in graffiti and the building was an eyesore, but now five stylish apartments lie behind a grand façade, Jenny Knight reports.

outhstone Ltd was launched by a brother and sister team to convert neglected buildings into high quality residential flats, and The Hill, a once handsome five-storey Victorian property that had been used as offices and then occupied by squatters, was ideal. Even though almost every original feature had been stolen or destroyed, its potential was obvious. The previous owner had managed to remove the squatters before putting the property up for sale but the steel shutters installed on the doors and windows for security had caused further damage. A spokesman for Southstone says: “It took less than a second to see the building had potential, although we would need to plan the works carefully to return it to its former glory. The brickwork would need to be cleaned and repointed, the windows needed replacing, and internally the building would need soundproofing between each apartment and the communal areas, with new services and a roof extension. “Original features were reinstated such as beautiful cornicing and high skirting boards. The ceilings were lowered to achieve the necessary level of soundproofing but, even with this loss of space, they were still extremely high. New kitchens and bathrooms were fitted and despite the punishment the original door had suffered, it was lovingly restored. Looking at it today, it’s hard to believe it’s the same door. “Our vision was to write a clear, concise brief to follow over the course of the project. When you walk along Lavender Hill, we really wanted the property to feel special from the moment you approach the building. This feeling continues as you enter through the grand front door and run your hand over the custom-made continuous handrail that winds up through the property.” A sleek black front door now takes you through to the communal hallway and a stylish interior and striped carpet on the stairs leads to the upper apartments. Internally the flats are finished to a high specification with wooden flooring, luxurious carpet and underfloor heating. There is a secure video entry system and a communal storage vault.

lose to Wimbledon Common, Prospect Place was an 18th century estate – once owned by the second Duke of Wellington – with formal gardens and spectacular southerly views. The magnificent country-style mansion known today as Prospect House was originally built in 1867. In 1995 – by now in a derelict state – it was acquired by the present owner, who launched an extensive programme of meticulous restoration under the supervision of the Edward Hill Partnership. Renovation and refurbishment preserved the innate character of the building, complemented by a traditional approach to the interiors. The Grade II listed property is now a magnificent London country house standing in two acres of wonderful landscaped grounds featuring formal and woodland gardens, a tennis court and heated swimming pool. The house also has direct access to 24 acres of protected Metropolitan open land. A grand main reception hall with distressed limestone floor and imposing wide oak staircase leads to two elegant formal reception rooms, a fully equipped kitchen and breakfast room, and a handsome Victorian-style conservatory and sitting room. The principal reception rooms and bedrooms enjoy a bright southerly aspect with superb views over the gardens and beyond towards the Epsom Downs. On the second floor a large studio room with reinforced floor is currently used as an office suite, but has also been a billiards room and a gym. Both house and grounds are protected by a high level of security including two sets of remote controlled gates at the entrance to Prospect Place, and at the house itself by sophisticated CCTV, lighting and intruder alarm systems.

Why Bellevue Village? South asks Rebecca Jane Higgins, lettings negotiator for Knight Frank Clapham

What’s going for it?

Bellevue Village is a residential grid of pretty roads with its own railway station providing fast links to Victoria. At the centre of the village is Bellevue Road - known for its designer boutiques, cafes and Michelin-starred restaurant, Chez Bruce, wonderfully positioned overlooking Wandsworth Common. It feels like country living just a few miles from central London.

NEWHOMES UPDATE Alex Howard Baker, residential director at Savills Putney, reports

s usual, Putney’s new homes market has been busy and vibrant with some incredible developments on offer. Mid-September marks the launch of Westmead, a fantastic boutique development next to Putney Heath consisting of nine stunning houses – three of them detached. These beautifully designed bespoke homes, built by GM Developments, offer wonderful living space with contemporary interiors and a very high level of specification. All have west or south-facing landscaped gardens and off-street parking. The houses are in a fabulous location a stone’s throw of Putney Heath and moments from Putney’s centre with its excellent mix of shops, cafés and restaurants. Oakhill Park We expect these houses to be particularly popular with families keen to take advantage of the excellent schools, transport connections and amenities in and around the area. Oakhill Park, an exclusive scheme of 52 apartments in the heart of Putney, still has some availability, though the majority have now sold. There is a selection of one, two and three-bedroom apartments available, each with their own balcony and set in beautiful landscaped gardens. The scheme has a fabulous private residents’ gym and is ideally placed for East Putney station on the district line, Putney mainline station, and the excellent boutique shops and restaurants nearby. The development has so far proved very popular with owneroccupiers, attracting a mix of local and London-wide downsizers, aspirational purchasers and also young professionals. We also have Upper Lawn, a scheme of nine apartments with fantastic lateral space and unusually high ceilings. Each apartment has its own balcony and the development is set in secure, mature communal gardens with a tennis court. Finally, we are very excited to be hosting the model of, and marketing material for, The Cambian, a superb lend-lease scheme of 110 units, 55 apartments and 55 houses between Wimbledon Common and Putney Heath.

angton Priory is a boutique development of 12 individually designed two and three-bedroom apartments in Guildford built by Newcourt Residential. Overlooking the River Wey and the meadows beyond, the development features a charming converted priory and a stylish new-build, sympathetically designed to complement the original building. Both will contain flexible open plan living areas, with the development’s heritage captured in decorative details and original period features such as bay windows, original cornicing and Gothic features on the windows and doors. All principal reception rooms and hallways will feature parquet wood flooring and a superb outlook over the grounds, and bedrooms will be finished with opulent silk carpets, fitted wardrobes and en suite bathrooms to the master bedrooms. The open plan kitchens have bespoke cabinetry, glass splash-backs, integrated appliances and quartz worktops. All 12 homes will have their own outside space. Landscaped communal grounds will surround the two buildings and several apartments will be able to enjoy private terraces and courtyards with views over the river and out towards ancient St Catherine’s Chapel. A woodland path will lead down to the river walk. Langton Priory is close to Guildford town centre, which offers trains to London Waterloo in 33 minutes. The Surrey Hills area provides miles of scenic walks and glorious countryside. High-achieving independent schools include the Royal Grammar School, dating back to 1509, and Guildford High School for Girls. George Abbott state secondary school is also highly rated. Prices for Langton Priory homes start at £550,000 and completion is due early next year.

WESTENDBOYS

andmark Estates, residential and commercial property developer covering London and the South Coast, continues to expand with increased financial backing, two senior appointments in the London team, and a new West End office. David Samson, who has joined as head of development for the London office, has a wealth of experience in complex planning issues, related planning and infrastructure agreements and land acquisition. Previously a director for another London developer, David says: “Thanks to a significant amount of new funding, we have some serious financial backing behind us and can make some real waves in the London property market.” Looking after Landmark’s new funding will be Enam Rahman, who joins the London team from Aitch Group as finance director. Landmark is also launching a new office at Margaret Street W1. The company bought its first residential site in London 18 months ago at Chatfield Road, Battersea, due to start development in mid-September. Landmark is led by James Bradley, who took control of the business in 2007 from his architect father, Roger. James Hemsley has also been crucial to the company’s expansion into the capital.

MONEYMATTERS

INDEX

night Frank’s House Price Sentiment Index rose in August for the first time in six years, suggesting that buyers are more optimistic about prices rising. The index also suggests more people plan to buy a home within the next 12 months. Grainne Gilmore, head of UK residential research at Knight Frank, said: “The strength of the UK economy, rising wages and an under-supply of housing stock on the market are combining to underpin UK house prices. This has resulted in the first rise in the House Price Sentiment Index in August, usually a quieter summer period, seen since 2009. “However, the expectation of future interest rate rises, something about which the Bank of England rate-setters are issuing more frequent warnings, is having an impact on the expectations for future house price increases. While households still expect the value of their home to rise over the next 12 months, the pace of the expected rise has eased in recent months.”

MONEYTIP

hose keeping an eye on the best buy tables would have noticed that over the past few months, interest rates on fixed mortgages have been creeping up. While it’s true that the lowest priced deals have gone, there are plenty of good rates still available. Although many proclaim to know when interest rates will move, it is not an exact science. However, if you cannot afford for your mortgage repayments to rise, fixing is the only option for you. Console yourself that your rate is probably still cheaper relative to where they were several years ago. If you need to purchase or remortgage in the next few months, it is worth looking at what is available now and securing a deal in advance. Some lenders will let you secure a rate up to six months before you need it, so you can lock into a cheap fix now.

CHINESEWHISPER

Man who predicted share price fall turns his attention to cash, reports Duncan Farmer

or one man, the collapse in Chinese share prices that then spread to the rest of the world came as no surprise – he had been predicting for a long time. Paul Hodges is an expert in the chemical industry, China and the economics of demographics, and his predictions, such as last year’s collapse in the share price of Tesco, have been accurate. In China, he knew President Xi’s father, who believed in an old-style Chinese centralist economic policy that would be continued by his son. In the oil industry, he believed that prices of well over 100 dollars a barrel were unsustainable because demand was not outstripping supply and therefore a high price was simply a fake. In the world of consumer spending, he believed that the baby boomer generation is now reaching an age – 55-plus – where they own everything they need and, as they retire, their income has shrunk. He did not just predict a market fall but he put his money where his mouth is and turned all his investments into cash, in the belief that in an era of deflation, which he says is coming, cash will be a hot commodity. So what else does he predict? Rather worryingly, he foresees a fall in UK house prices of up to 50 per cent. He bases this on the economic law that says after a period of growth and optimism comes a retreat and pessimism. This is certainly borne out in previous booms and busts of the housing market. Since the credit crunch in 2008, property values have risen dramatically way beyond their longterm average. However, the prime central London market has stagnated a bit, possibly because Russian oligarchs have been hit by the falling oil price and have stopped buying. The good news, however, is that Hodges also believes interest rates may fall rather than rise, in which case, property will remain affordable not only for people who already own, but for the thousands of would-be first-time buyers who are currently locked out of the market by sky-high prices. While Hodges may have moved his investments out of stocks and bonds, for ordinary people Warren Buffett’s advice to over-pay your mortgage as much as you can seems perfect sense. And if Hodges’ predictions fail to materialise, what have you lost?

atest figures from LMS show that the number of remortgage loans increased by 47 per cent from 31,600 in June to 46,423 in July. This was 89 per cent higher than the number of remortgages recorded in July 2014 and is the biggest number recorded since November 2008. LMS estimates that the value of monthly gross remortgage lending increased by 41 per cent to £7.2 billion in July compared to June’s CML figures and also up by 89 per cent from July last year. Andy Knee, chief executive of LMS, said: “We are confident these levels will be maintained with a steady stream of customers for the remainder of the year as record-low affordability encourages borrowers to lock in competitive rates.”

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.

MODERNMARVEL

n the market for the first time since it was built in 1969, this exceptional Grade II listed house in Wimbledon’s Drax Avenue is widely regarded as one of London’s finest examples of modernist residential architecture. Built for Sir Jack Zunz – engineer for the Sydney Opera House roof – the property was designed by leading British architect Sir Philip Dowson, who worked with engineer Sir Ove Arup and in 1963 became a founding partner and later chief architect of Arup Associates. The house comes with planning permission to extend it and almost double the living space, with designs drawn by Professor Richard Frewer, who worked on the original house with Sir Philip. Dowson went on to serve as president of the Royal Academy of Arts. Winner of a Civic Trust award in 1973, this historic house is described by English Heritage as a ‘well-crafted, meticulously planned private house’ that uses ‘high quality materials throughout’. The listing also praises the house as a ‘rare domestic work by the successful, significant and prolific practice of Arup Associates, famous for prestige projects in the spheres of industry, commerce, education and the arts’. Current internal space of 2588 sq ft includes three to four bedrooms, a superb reception with high ceiling and full-height glazing on two sides, study, dining area and kitchen. The house also offers a large roof terrace, attractive rear garden, carport and off-street parking.

WOODLAND ESTATE A

bbotswood, one of Guildfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s premier residential estates, covers an area of around 50 acres. Built between 1912 and 1926, it was designated a conservation area in 2011. Set in an attractive and mature woodland landscape, close to Stoke Park and Riverside Park, the estate was developed as a garden suburb in the Arts and Crafts style by architect Alfred Claude Burlingham. The estate was originally built for professional and affluent residents of Guildford borough and provided easy access to the town. After completing Abbotswood, Burlingham and developer Alfred Taylor went on to create other significant residential estates in Guildford at Fairway, Trodds Lane, Ganghill, Meads Road and Green Lane. Currently for sale at Abbotswood, this five-bedroom detached house offers around 5110 sq ft of bright and immaculate living space on three floors and includes a separate double garage with studio above. The large open plan kitchen (with breakfast island), reception and dining space leads to a 40ft private rear landscaped garden, and the property includes secure gated off-street parking. Nearest rail stations are London Road (Guildford), Guildford and Clandon. Guildford Spectrum Leisure Complex, offering everything from ice skating and swimming to fitness classes and tenpin bowling, is also nearby.

LETTINGS LOWDOWN So far so good for 2015, reports Charles Weller, managing director of Palace Gate Lettings in Clapham

t’s been a busy year in one way or another, with the market following its seasonal trends. The year started off well, with tenants coming out in earnest after the Christmas and New Year festivities, together with a surge of new instructions that helped meet some of the demand. All in all, it was a positive start to 2015, with some of our existing as well as new landlords looking to invest in the buy-to-let market. Then as Easter came and the election loomed, the market slowed and while this may have been partly due to the election, it is also seasonally the quietest time in the lettings market. As summer arrived, the market picked up, with demand from tenants far outstripping supply, and heading into September tenants are still having to chase for their ideal property. Due to the shortage of property, we have seen rents increasing throughout the year, especially for one, three and four-bedroom properties, with tenants occasionally even offering to pay over the asking rent in order to secure a property. In respect to the rest of the year, I am expecting the market to remain modern mews house in a small gated busy in South West London, with the area as popular as ever for both development near Clapham South is landlords and tenants. Predictions for capital growth in property still remain arranged on three floors and comes with one positive in the coming years and rental yields are back up. secure parking space and communal courtyard. There are also some significant regulatory changes taking place from Just off Balham High Road, the house has two 1 October. These relate to the serving of Section 21 Notices to end double bedrooms and a third bedroom or study. There’s a tenancy, as well as a requirement to install smoke alarms on each also a modern fitted kitchen and breakfast room, bright floor of a rented property and carbon monoxide detectors where reception room, bathroom and utility room. solid fuel is burnt.
