Q

What are your tips for buying in a booming market?

Tom Butler, sales manager for Sheraton Law, replies ...

A

I am sure you’ve heard that over the last 12 months the SouthWest London property market has exploded, with prices rising by as much as 30 per cent. This is clearly brilliant news if you are selling, but the worst possible news as a buyer. You are faced with a very limited stock, and when you do see a property you can be competing against 15 other buyers.

So how do you give yourself the best possible chance? The most important point is to make sure you are organised and have your finances arranged – whether the mortgage is agreed in principle or if you are a cash buyer, evidence to prove it.

Ideally make yourself chain-free and have no onward sale before looking to buy: it carries a lot of weight. If this is not possible, make sure you have a proceedable offer on your property. Remember 90 per cent of purchases at present are going to sealed bids. You need to organise yourself to be in the best possible position before offering.

Be realistic. In the past, most people would look at 20 properties before making a decision. Now, with the dramatic shortage of stock, this is not possible, especially as most properties are selling in the first week of marketing.

If the first property you see is your ideal property, don’t hold back or you will lose it. In two months’ time the same flat could be selling for £25,000 more!

marketview answers.

R

To renovate or not to renovate, that is the question. Cheryl Markosky seeks

enovation projects involve two costs: financial and emotional, points out James Hyman of Cluttons.

“While it may be minimal financially, the emotional cost of developing your home can be incredibly high.

Quality of renovation is also crucial and must be in line with the value you’re trying to achieve.”

It’s also important your property appeals to the wider market, rather than push your own personal style.

“In the majority of cases, properties achieve a higher premium as a blank canvas, due to buyers wanting to put their own mark on the right property and not work around something which isn’t quite to their taste,” he adds.

I’m always slightly nervous of telling clients to spend money on their property before they sell, as there really is no accounting for taste, points out Saul Empson of Harringtons UK. If you own a mid-life family house, it’s worth sprucing the place up, he suggests. “As in the case of an £18 million house I saw a few years ago where the teenaged children had spray-painted Quentin Tarantino’s favourite words all over the walls, it might be worth redecorating.”

Similarly, if the family bathroom has come to remind you of youth hostel days, it’s probably good to change it, cautions Empson.

But more than that? Empson comments: “It’s a hell of a risk, and you may be throwing money away trying to second-guess the taste of a buyer, who may well hail from an entirely different corner of the globe to you.”

If you want your home to appeal to investors keen to rent the place out, kitchens and bathrooms are priorities. “A two-bedroom property should have two bathrooms, if possible,” says Marc von Grundherr from Benham and Reeves Residential Lettings. “If you own an older property it’s worth creating an en suite by taking space from an existing bedroom.”

Other tips from von Grundherr include investing in a smart, contemporary kitchen, and retain original features such as ceiling roses, cornices and fireplaces in period properties.

“If you have a limited budget, simple measures like a lick of paint, new flooring and curtains are worth taking.

At the end of the day, investing in your property adds to the overall capital value, so it’s a good idea to employ a specialist to look at layout. Older properties often have small rooms, so removing some internal walls can create a spacious, open-plan space with a real ‘wow’ factor,” he adds.

village vibe Andrew Clements, head of Lettings at Savills Wimbledon, takes South on a guided tour of his territory ATTRACTIONS Wimbledon Village has a unique appeal, blending town with country and offering a fantastic mix of properties. From grand detached villas to classic townhouses, quaint cottages, Victorian conversion flats and contemporary apartments, there is plenty for tenants to choose from.

SHOPS Wimbledon village has a great selection of boutiques and shops, with antiques, fashion and eateries nestled along the High Street. Locals can find their favourite brands such as Whistles, Joules and Petit Bateau alongside Wimbledon one-offs such as Luella’s Boudoir, an independent bridal boutique.

TOP STREETS Around the town centre is a good selection of Victorian streets with attractive four and five-bedroom houses handy for the station. There are also some great new developments in the heart of Wimbledon Village on Grosvenor Hill and off The Ridgway, offering contemporary apartments with off-street parking.

Substantial villas are available in Wimbledon

Park, while magnificent mansions can be found close to Wimbledon Common on roads such as Parkside, Marryat Road and The Grange.

RESTAURANTS AND PUBS The Light House on Ridgway is one of Wimbledon’s best restaurants: it opened in 1999 and has gone from strength to strength ever since, serving a delicious variety of food. The Dog and Fox pub is a local favourite in the heart of Wimbledon Village. They do a brilliant Sunday roast and have a great beer garden for the warmer months.

LEISURE With Wimbledon Common, Putney Health and Richmond Park all nearby, Wimbledon is an ideal place to live an outdoor lifestyle. There are three golf clubs in the area as well as the world-renowned All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club.

Wimbledon also has two sets of stables for equestrian lovers, a real luxury in London.

The New Wimbledon Theatre – actually Edwardian – has a varied programme of drama, musicals and live music, while the Rose Theatre in nearby Kingston presents classic and modern drama.

celebritywatch Next time you visit Battersea Park, look out for global soccer superstar and fashion icon David Beckham – he could be having a kickabout with his mates there.

Becks said recently that the opportunity to visit Battersea Park is one of the great pleasures of living in London. He told the Sunday Times: “I love living back in London. I enjoy its big parks, especially ones like Battersea. I love walking through them after I’ve been playing five-a-side with some friends.”

The former England captain and his ex-Spice Girl wife Victoria recently returned to live in the capital after he finished his playing career in Los Angeles.

the word Special report by Patrick Rampton, director of Rampton Baseley

I

’ve been doing some market analysis recently – you know, year-on-year sort of stuff, what prices are doing, and why.

A five-bed 2000-plus sq ft house we put on a year ago had an asking price of over £1.3m – and a very nice house it was too. We had lots of initial interest, and the sale of said property was being agreed around asking pretty quickly. However, the onward chain fell apart, school matters interceded, and the house was subsequently withdrawn.

Now we all know that this part of London has seen dramatic price surges in the past 12 months, so bearing this in mind we put it back on the market this January at what we thought was a pretty punchy price: over £1.6m.

It was subsequently being negotiated around asking price the Monday after the first Saturday’s viewings (along with three other similarly priced market debutantes) when someone who’d previously seen it stepped back into the frame and also offered asking price. And then another one did.

And so it went to best and final bids, and the result made two parties pretty happy and a few others pretty unhappy. BTW, don’t blame us agents for this largely unsatisfactory and currently frequent outcome: blame successive

governments for their lack of desire or inability to deal with the idiocy of the English house-selling process, including those Home Information Packs – ill-conceived, muddle-headed and rightly binned.

We digress. This was a dramatic 23 per cent uplift in value year-on-year, and it wasn’t even Honeywell/Belleville catchment. This increase in family house prices has knocked on through into the larger flat market. Un-extended three-bed houses have pushed up towards the £1.3m-plus mark. Families seeking property they might fit into, near the schools, have had to settle for large flats.

Consequently, if a large flat has that all-important third bedroom (so it will fit Mum, Dad, AND two kids) and a garden (the all-important ground floor run-around space), its price has rocketed away from the bigger two-beds. Such properties have gone up by around 30 per cent in about a year.

I could quote the stats but don’t have the space.

This is not entirely location-specific. I’m hearing it from agents in Putney, Barnes, Sheen, Richmond and all the other usual SW London suspects.

It’s all largely fuelled by the rush of international money, of one type or another, into central London property – in global investment terms the new gold, according to the New York Times.

This is all fine and jolly dandy, but what does

bestbites

what’shot

A huge open-plan reception, kitchen and dining space is the focus of this split-level, two-bedroom apartment a few minutes’ walk from East Putney tube station.

For sale at £849,950, the 1188 sq ft contemporary second floor home in Carlton Drive SW15 can also offer an entrance hall, two bathrooms, and a south-facing balcony. KFH Putney 020 8780 0033.

it mean to us SW London suburbanites?

Well, it’s all terribly good news for those who own such things, and less good news for those who buy them (and even less so for those who miss out on buying them).

However, the wider implications are more complicated. If you combine all the above with the recent drop in unemployment figures (and their potential link to interest rate rises), the dreaded words ‘overheated’ and ‘unsustainable’ spring to mind. And what happens when the world’s uber-rich find another depository for their, ahem, well-earned cash?

I’m not sure really. Only time will tell, I guess.

And anyway, I’m not qualified to comment: I’m an estate agent, not a financial analyst.

Paul Herring, sales manager of Kinleigh Folkard & Hayward in Balham, recommends a favourite eatery.

Gazette Brasserie, 100 Balham High Road, Balham SW12 • 0208 772 1232

Where is it? Located on the main high street, Gazette has a pretty terrace at the front for when the weather is kind.

What’s it like? It has a simple and rustic décor inside with a really comfortable atmosphere, and even has chalk tables to draw on. I would definitely advise making a booking as it’s a very popular spot on the weekend.

And the food? In my opinion, they serve some of the best French food in South London. I just love their steak tartare, which they prepare at your table.

They also make great salads and crepes, and the onion soup is amazing!

heads-up

Keeping you informed about property news and events in your area

Affordable Battersea The Affordable Art Fair returns to Battersea this March, giving local residents and art enthusiasts the chance to discover affordable art by thousands of artists under one roof.

The event first began in a South West London warehouse and grew into an international phenomenon, with fairs now taking place all over the globe, from Amsterdam and Brussels to New York and Milan.

Estate agent Savills is sponsoring the Late Night View in Battersea on Thursday 13 March from 5.30 to 8.30pm. Robin Chatwin, head of Savills South West London, said: “It isn’t often you get the chance to browse and buy art from over 100 galleries right on your doorstep. We’re thoroughly looking forward to the three-day event, which presents high quality art at affordable prices, and to supporting an initiative that originated in Battersea.

“From a property perspective, a great piece of art can drastically improve the appearance of a room and can be a savvy investment for those looking to brighten up their home without the costs of redecorating. The Affordable Art Fair is the perfect place to pick up such a bargain.”

The Affordable Art Fair runs from the 13 to 16 March at Battersea Evolution, Battersea Park. As well as sponsoring the Late Night View, Savills has its own exhibition stand at the fair.

Common market Kinleigh Folkard & Hayward, which operates more than 50 branches across London, has opened a new branch on Clapham Common.

Directly overlooking the Common, the new branch at 30 The Pavement will cover an area including Clapham Old Town, Clapham High Street, Clapham North, Stockwell and the streets surrounding Wandsworth Road.

Pictured outside the new office, Leigh Munday has been appointed manager of residential sales and Sarah Burgess manager of residential lettings.

Lee Watts, Managing Director at Kinleigh Folkard & Hayward, said: “The Clapham Common branch will fill a gap in our coverage of South West London, and opens in a very buoyant and positive market place.” The group opened five other branches in 2013.

At the KFH awards night at The Brewery on 24 January, Top Sales Branch was awarded to KFH Earlsfield, managed by Rebecca May (pictured, blue dress), and Best Performing Lettings Office went to KFH Battersea, managed by Duncan Blakelock.

Opening in Southfields to meet demand Townends estate agent, part of the Badger Holdings Group, is expanding its South West London branch network with the opening of a new Southfields office.

Townends has been selling and letting properties in the area via its long-established Earlsfield and Putney branches. The company reports that greater stability in the housing market and a steady rise in the number of applicants led to the decision to grow their resources to support growing demand.

“We have successfully operated in South West London for many years and this new addition is perfectly positioned, within a smaller cluster of our 22-branch network, for us to optimise our local knowledge,” said group chief executive Séamus Kavanagh.

“The surrounding areas, and in particular Southfields, support the overspill from nearby Wimbledon and Putney, becoming increasingly popular with families and professionals attracted to the value for money and open spaces of Wimbledon Park.

“This, along with a great selection of independent stores and excellent transport links, has made Southfields a vibrant and desirable area in its own right and we are looking forward to having even greater local presence.”

The Southfields branch, which will also cover parts of Wimbledon, will offer both sales and a full lettings and management service. To celebrate the opening, for a limited period Townends is offering a zero-per-cent fee for anyone who wishes to sell or let their property in the area.

Should the Government’s Help to Buy scheme be scrapped in London as prices in the capital and the SouthEast hit ‘absurd’ levels?

Alex Oppenheim, Manager of John D Wood & Co in Battersea

Anniversary Mini Foxtons has unveiled the latest design in its fleet of branded Minis. The 10th Anniversary Edition of the Foxtons Mini pays tribute to the ‘Italian Job’ Mini commemorating the legendary 1969 British caper movie.

Produced in British Racing Green with large door numbers, bonnet stripes and a Union Jack flag on the roof, the Italian Job model was inspired by the Mini Cooper’s racing heritage.

The Anniversary Edition pays homage to the original but has been adapted for a more sophisticated, contemporary feel, with a subtle splash of Foxtons branding.

Foxtons says that as the estate agent to pioneer the branded company fleet, it is proud to celebrate its 10th edition, highlighting a longstanding presence in the London and Surrey property markets. As well as creating a strong brand presence, the Minis chauffeur potential buyers and tenants to property viewings for a hassle-free experience.

Foxtons chief operating officer Nic Budden says: “It’s been an exciting past year for us with the opening of seven new offices and a positive IPO, and to kick-start 2014 with a new Mini is great, especially considering how integral they have become, both to the brand’s identity and today’s cityscape.”

Boogie nights in Clapham’s Old Printworks English singer songwriter Newton Faulkner and South Sudanese musician Emmanuel Jal have both played live here, and music for the Royal Ballet work Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland was written here.

The Old Printworks in Clapham, on the market with Cluttons (020 7223 7574) for £3.25m, is designed for partying. Upand-coming bands have played on one level as 90 guests boogied on another.

A drop-down cinema screen is ideal for movie nights, or open the bi-fold doors for a summer barbecue for 180. Owner Richard de Aragues, a film director, and his wife Caroline are moving to the Cote d’Azur with their two children.

Apology Ruth Barr is head of Lettings at Knight Frank Wimbledon, not Savills as stated in last month’s Ask the Expert feature.

Apologies for our error.

No. To scrap Help to Buy in London and the South East would be draconian at best. As with any loan, banks and building societies have very stringent lending policies and if people applying for a mortgage with Help to Buy are successful with their applications, they should be free to purchase where they wish.

If buyers are able to fund their loan and a mortgage, and the Government wants to support those trying to get on the property ladder, why should they not purchase their first home, especially as now they are able to get a fixed-rate mortgage with record rates?

The statistics speak for themselves as according to the Office for National Statistics, 26 per cent of 20 to 34-year-olds still live with their parents.

Patrick Rampton, director of Rampton Baseley Frankly, I can’t see that it’s a bad thing. The buying of property in our areas has become somewhat a preserve of those who already have money: such as young rich City guys, kids of the wealthy, the wealthy themselves, and investors.

Since I’ve been working here, we’ve seen an almost total extinction of your traditional first-time buyer – young couples or graduates trying to take their first tentative steps on the London housing ladder. And this has been largely because they can’t get the cash together for a deposit.

So if the Government scheme allows these people to re-enter our housing market and scrape together a deposit, so much the better. I’d like to see more home-owning youngsters swell the ranks of the Saturday morning Northcote Rd passeggiata.

Now showing: spectacular views at Hollywood home T

he Duchess of Kent cut the red ribbon and Hollywood actor Victor McLaglen made a personal appearance at the grand opening night of the new Granada Theatre at Clapham Junction on 8 November 1937.

Keyboard ace Donald Thorne dazzled on the Wurlitzer theatre organ and Bobby Hart and His Band performed on stage to herald the launch of the 2500-seater cinema, then Granada’s third largest in the UK after Tooting and Walthamstow.

The first films shown on that sparkling royal occasion were History Is Made At Night – appropriately – with Charles Boyer, and Mr Stringfellow Says No with Neil Hamilton (as Mr Stringfellow). When Granada Clapham Junction closed its curtain for the last time in 1980, the final cinema audience left the auditorium after screaming to Zombies: Dawn Of The Dead.

The redbrick art deco building rises high above Clapham Junction station and has long been a familiar landmark for train passengers travelling to and from London Victoria and Waterloo.

Grade II-star listed since 1999, it still has a cinema (pictured, below left): a more intimate movie space exclusively for residents of the famous building’s new and luxurious Lumiere Apartments, a Henley Homes development commended in the Housing Project of the Year category of the Mail on Sunday British Homes Awards 2009.

A Hollywood-esque two-bed penthouse apartment with around 1170 sq ft of inside living space on the sixth and seventh floors has floor-to-ceiling glass walls showing spectacular panoramic views across London all day long. A 36ft by 25ft roof terrace will let you see the big picture.

lose to the open parkland of Clapham Common, this Regency house built in the 1820s stands in a conservation area on an exclusive estate off Clapham Common South Side.

Crescent Grove private estate is divided into ‘The Crescent’ and ‘The Grove’, with the latter featuring nine pairs of semi-detached late-Georgian houses linked by two-storied coach houses.

Offering residents’ parking next to the property and access to the central garden, the 3466 sq ft six-bedroom house now for sale in in Crescent Grove has retained a wealth of original features across its generous family living and entertaining space.

This imposing 9000 sq ft property is set well back from tranquil Golf Club Drive on the exclusive and private Coombe Hill Estate, and is designed and constructed to the highest modern standards and specifications.

On the ground floor, the entrance hall leads to the primary reception space including an impressive kitchen and breakfast room open plan with the living and dining room. Doors lead to the garden and terracing.

Entertain the family and guests at an indoor swimming pool complex, home cinema and large games or play room. The lavish gardens contain mature trees with flower borders and a superb showing of shrubs and plants. There’s also a double garage and plenty of offstreet parking.

Neighbouring Coombe Hill Golf Club was founded in 1911 and Sir Winston Churchill was a member when he was Home Secretary, occasionally challenging Prime Minister Herbert Asquith on the Coombe Hill course.

David Lloyd George was another member of the House and club, and Edward VIII and his brother George VI both played here before they took the throne.

Golfing legend Henry Cotton, three times Open champion, described Coombe Hill as “one of the most delightful settings for a golf course that I have ever experienced anywhere in the world.”

Your golf clubs should get plenty of use.

t’s hard to lament the loss of a Sixties block of maisonettes used by the Metropolitan Police, particularly when it’s being replaced by four refined townhouses.

“What struck us was that the houses back onto incredible private parkland totalling nearly four acres,” explains developer Scott Franklin from Landview Properties, the man behind construction of the sizeable (4600 sq ft) homes. “It’s a safe, gated environment only accessed by houses around Spencer Park, with a tennis court, children’s playground and rose garden.”

The other big plus was starting with a blank canvas to create classical modern buildings that will blend with neighbouring period homes. “We wanted the houses to display Regent’s Park elegance with a mix of new and old.”

Franklin and his team appear to have achieved their aim. Drawing on classical 18th century architecture of Robert Adam, cream-coloured facades look like they could date back to the Georgian era. On the inside, however, contemporary must-haves include generous ceiling heights, underfloor heating in bathrooms and

principal rooms, wi-fi, concealed ceiling speakers and Swiss state-of-the-art sliding doors onto the garden.

“We’ve tried to put a bit of everything into the houses,” comments Franklin, “from a large cinema/ games room, terraces large enough to accommodate tables and chairs, and a system where you can control most everything from your iPhone.” Franklin’s piece-deresistance, however, is the master suite running over an entire floor.

As many Londoners tend to dwell mainly in dark basement kitchens, it’s admirable that Franklin has placed the kitchen on the brighter ground floor instead.

He’s also provided three off-street parking spaces (with electric charging points) for each house.

With fewer than 30 houses on Spencer Park, it’s very rare for houses to come onto the market very often, points out selling agent Robin Chatwin from Savills.

“This is a huge purchasing opportunity. Views from the backs of these new houses over the park are completely phenomenal.”

by residents), the properties, with their fabulous living spaces, are particularly appealing for families, adds Chatwin.

Austin Thorogood from John Thorogood Real Estate Agency, joint agent on the project, says that in his 20 years as a realtor on this patch, he’s never seen anything like the new homes on Spencer Park. “To have four places available on this spot is very special.”

One house is already under offer, he notes, to a family about to send their teenage offspring to Dulwich schools. “They’re moving from a Victorian terrace to get a bigger garden and off-street parking in this wellknown location.”

Thorogood anticipates buyers currently residing north of the river flocking south. “They’ll never get as much space for their money in Notting Hill, and could well be tempted to move across the Thames.”

First year in the saddle Sam Sproston, Partner and Head of Knight Frank Wandsworth and Clapham

I

always relish talking about myself, as my colleagues know only too well. So where do I start? Perhaps at the end, rather than the beginning.

I have recently been spending a little more time at our global headquarters on Baker Street for business plan meetings for the year ahead. I love going up there as it reminds me of the powerhouse that is Knight Frank. I am very proud to work for this firm, and was enjoying a sweet spot in my career when promoted to Partner and Office Head for Wandsworth and Clapham in a very short space of time towards the end of 2012.

Now it’s fair to say that lady luck had a large part to play in this occurrence. Luke Pender-Cudlip, who had employed me (over the course of an unnervingly long interview process) and whom I worked under for six years, had moved on to Dorset, leaving the hot seat empty. My big bosses at HQ were convinced I was ready.

I can’t say I knew what to expect. I was used to selling houses, and not running an office, but how hard could it be, right? I was secretly very nervous and desperate not to fail.

After a year in the saddle, sitting in that meeting with the other South-West London office heads, I felt pretty proud of my team and myself. This year we have really driven the business on. We have increased our turnover and profitability, increased the number of properties sold – whether they are flats, little cottages or mansions – and more importantly, we are hearing good things on the street from buyers, clients and hopefully potential new clients.

Things seem to be working, and hopefully we will keep the glowing testimonials coming in for years to come.

Long live independence!

Jacksons director Simon Scott gives his personal view When estate agents first became noticeable on the high street they were, most of the time, connected to surveying companies or planning services. Actually selling your home was the job of a qualified person who could assess its value.

It was a case of assessing the valid price of the commodity itself – the price it would cost to remake said abode or the land value on which the property stood. So for many years, valuing a property was based on fact rather than conjecture.

The term ‘estate agent’ is derived from three commonly used terms: ‘house agent’, ‘land agent’ and ‘real estate broker’. There are also records of companies employed to deal with large areas of land commonly known as ‘estates’ as far back as the 18th century. In time, ‘estates agent’ became ‘estate agent’.

Since then, of course, the role of an estate agent has changed hugely.

Gone are the days when your average agency had any links to surveying firms or actually valuing your home based on factual evidence.

The major turning point came when mortgage companies came onto the scene during the 1970s, as banks realised estate agencies were a vehicle for selling their products to new customers. But these branches could only advertise or sell properties that were linked to the banks, and were incentivised more to sell financial services than their clients’ homes.

Thus the era of the independent was born as new agencies were set up purely to sell or let properties as their main focus, and to be

5% Property Management

independent of banks or building society. The public took to the idea, as it emerged that customer care and service were key.

The late 1970s and early 1980s saw the opening of some of the companies who are still perceived today to be independent in the original meaning of the word. These estate agents are not intrinsically linked to banks or building societies, but there is an argument that being the subject of a corporate buy-out does not support the original ethos of independence.

When turning against the large banks and building societies, the independent firms were able to offer speed of thought, bespoke marketing, freedom of valuing, flexible fee structures, low staff turnarounds and a knowledge that was higher than their corporate competitors. Can this still be the case when you have 50 offices, 800 employees and many shareholders? Has the true meaning of independence been lost as these companies have grown?

A new era in estate agency is beginning to form where the TRUE independent estate agents are once again fighting to show what they can offer: a much larger degree of flexibility than corporate competitors.

Jacksons are committed to remaining fully independent and providing our customers with the service for which independency stands. By choosing Jacksons, you are making a choice to have more control over how you achieve the very best price with as little fuss when selling or letting your home. jacksonsestateagents.com

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

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

O

ur Wimbledon office had another record year in 2013, with indicators showing that strong activity is set to continue in 2014. The Borough of Merton had one of the best performing house markets of the year, with annual price growth of 10.1 per cent, ahead of more central London boroughs such as Kensington and Chelsea.

A positive end to 2013 has put us in a great position for the first months of 2014, with the prime market in particular flourishing. Given the area’s outstanding performance, new home developers are increasingly looking to build in Wimbledon to make the most of rising prices and high buyer demand.

In fact, 21 per cent of our buyers last year moved to the area for investment and redevelopment purposes.

There are already a number of new developments in the pipeline, including Wimbledon Hill Park and Marryat Place, two exciting Berkeley Homes schemes ready for occupation in the next few months.

Wimbledon Hill Park is an exceptional new residential development that takes refined metropolitan living to a spectacular new level. The superbly appointed,

individually designed homes are complemented by majestic architecture, elegant interiors and stunning landscaping.

Every modern convenience and facility is close at hand, yet the location retains its own unique air of exclusivity, space, tranquillity and comfort. The development includes eight family houses, either in a beautiful traditional design or an elegant more modern style, with luxury apartments also available in the second phase.

Marryat Place will provide six five and six-bedroom homes close to Wimbledon Village and is scheduled to be completed this spring. Situated moments from cosmopolitan Wimbledon Village and the world famous All England Tennis Club, this development is expected to prove a popular choice with buyers. These homes have been meticulously designed and will offer you the highest standards of contemporary specification.

Optical vision l

Clapham Old Town has a new residential address next to Clapham Common as developer Grainger launches Macaulay Walk, a collection of 84 homes on the site of the old Ross Company optical works.

The development combines the conversion of 19th century warehouse buildings with contemporary homes and thriving small business office space. The buildings are integrated through an attractive landscape design, and all properties are served by an on-site concierge.

Designed by Assael Architects, with interiors by MMM Architects, each property has been planned to maximise space and light. Original decorative brickwork and Victorian ironwork retain period character and preserve some of the history of the site. Four penthouse apartments take advantage of panoramic views of the central London skyline and nearby Common.

Grainger development director Mark Woodrow said: “Macaulay Walk is an interesting mixture of houses, apartments and penthouses, combining new-build and period conversion properties to appeal to a diverse range of buyers. Our vision was to create a mixed-use development that is in sympathy with the site’s rich heritage and maintains Clapham Old Town’s sense of community.”

Tom Bryant, associate for Savills Residential Development Sales, said: “Based on the performance

of house prices in South-West London over the past few years, we are anticipating a 6 per cent growth in 2014, accumulating in a price growth of 22.7 per cent to 2018.” The first phase of 24 apartments and houses has launched and first completions are expected in the spring.

Good news for big borrowers

t is important to plan ahead and consider what you will do when interest rates do rise: could you cope with higher mortgage payments? If the answer is no, it makes sense to opt for a fixed-rate mortgage, particularly as rates are so cheap.

While two-year fixed rates are lower than their five-year equivalents, it might make sense to opt for the latter.

Although there is an outside chance of an interest rate rise in the next couple of years, over three to five years the outlook is far less certain and a five-year fixed rate will give you security over the medium term. If you opt for a twoyear fix you will need to remortgage at a time when rates could be rising, which will be expensive.

While five-year fixes look very competitive, it is important not to fix for longer than you are absolutely sure about or you will face a hefty early repayment charge to exit the deal before the end of the fixed term. That’s why ten-year fixes tend to be so unpopular as it is too long a commitment for most.

Banks are back in the large loan market, reports Duncan Farmer

T

So, a borrower wanting a loan of £1.5m to buy a £2.5m home would need a deposit of £1m (30 per cent) and would pay a rate of 2.14 per cent, which is competitive by any measure. Repayments would be about £10,000 a month.

Previously, as Mr Knight says, borrowers would have needed to turn to private banks for such large loans. Those banks would insist that clients moved most of their other assets – shares, investments and deposit accounts – to their bank. With high street lenders, however, there are no such onerous restrictions and borrowers simply apply like any other applicant.

This, says Mr Knight, will mean that private banks will need to do more to attract back the biggest borrowers and that will be good news. “We therefore expect that as a result of this we will see increased pressure on private banks, resulting in rates falling in the months ahead for both those purchasing and refinancing,” he says.

The benefit of all this for the wider housing market is that while top end has been dominated by overseas cash buyers and the bottom end propped up

by Government help, there is now more equality across the board. This could well help London, particularly, maintain the momentum of a property market said to be worth £100 billion.

he focus on the mortgage market since the credit crunch has been on firsttime buyers, with numerous Government schemes to kick-start the bottom rung of the property ladder. But for those at the top it is the market itself that has improved conditions for big borrowers.

The pricing and availability of loans of more than £1 million has been improving steadily since the end of last year, according to Henry Knight, managing director of Springtide Capital.

“Following the financial crisis, we witnessed the percentage of high street lenders withdraw from the large loan market, leaving the opportunities with the private banks,” he says. “Now that the likes of NatWest, Santander, Virgin, Halifax and Woolwich have all come back to the market with new propositions, we can expect to see more competition and innovation among all banks.”

Santander started the ball rolling four months ago when its director of mortgages, Phil Cliff, said: “We are extending the maximum loan size on selected mortgages to £1.5m and launching a very competitive range of new products for customers looking for a large loan up to £2.5m.”

Wholesale lending returns to health

I

t is not just Government schemes that are encouraging borrowing but the wholesale lending markets are also showing a strong return to health and making a positive contribution to the mortgage market.

Savers are returning their cash to deposit accounts, enabling lenders to use that money rather than turning to the wholesale market. Favourable conditions in both wholesale and retail markets mean that lenders are well placed to weather the withdrawal of the Bank of England’s funding for lending scheme.

Confident customers

Positive prospects Mortgage lending rose yet again in December last year (the latest figures available) and was almost 50 per cent higher than in December 2012, reflecting the benefit of various Government schemes to help borrowers.

It also reflects the strength of the wider economy as banks and building societies demonstrate greater confidence in the stability of the job market and the ability of homeowners to keep up with repayments.

Bob Pannell, chief economist of the Council of Mortgage Lenders said: “Short-term growth prospects for the housing market and the wider economy look very positive. Mortgage lending was stronger than we expected in the closing months of 2013, but lenders expect little, if any, boost to borrower demand this quarter.

“While some of these gains reflect Government schemes, the rationale for the positive narrative is a much broader one, reflecting such factors as the improving economy and jobs market, consumer confidence and competitive mortgage deals.”

The number of people remortgaging has also risen and now makes up almost a quarter of all borrowing, with an average person remortgaging to the tune of £151,500.

The improving health of the economy and low fixed-rate loans have given borrowers more confidence and choice, says Andy Knee, chief executive of LMS. “Our latest customer survey suggests that nearly four in ten (39 per cent) were able to reduce their monthly payments in December, some by as much as £500,” he said.

This way to wildlife, sport and leisure A five-bed redbrick house on a premier road in Barnes Village, not far from its famous duck pond and green, has many original features from the Victorian era.

A tiled hallway leads to all ground floor rooms. The main reception at the front has parquet flooring and an ornamental fireplace, and a second reception behind has its original fireplace with built-in cupboards and shelves either side.

At the rear of the house, a kitchen, conservatory and dining room has French windows that open out onto the terrace of the 62 ft garden with mature trees and shrubs.

The first floor has two double bedrooms and two bathrooms. The top floor has been extended with a front mansard creating a large double bedroom with a wall of windows. Also on this floor are two more bedrooms and a family bathroom.

The 2675 sq ft property on Baronsmead Road is handy for leisure and recreation activities such as the

With huge potential in a sought after Village location Plans have been agreed for major modifications and extensions – from remodeling the exterior to creating a basement leisure complex – at a detached house in Wimbledon Village.

Planning consent has been granted for extensive works including a swimming pool and gym – or a large games room or home cinema – in a newly excavated lower ground floor at the Marryat Road property.

On the ground floor, the new plan involves removing the two front projections – including the garage – and extending the centre gable to full height to form a larger hall and full stairway to the second floor.

An orangery-style extension is planned for the rear of the house, the

kitchen is to be reconfigured and a front study added. The upper floors would be remodelled to increase the bedrooms from five to six, all overlooking the 190ft rear garden, and the home’s three bathrooms would become four.

Built in around 1901, the house near Wimbledon Common has been owned by the same family for more than 40 years. The brow of the hill outside the house has superb skyline views that include the Gherkin and the London Eye.

The Wimbledon Village specialists with over 30 years of experience, and substantial knowledge of the South London property market, providing a friendly, flexible service to clients in order to make moving home a positive experience.

Robert Holmes & Company has earned its reputation by providing a bespoke approach to estate agency, offering clients an independent and distinctly personal service tailored to individual requirements.

southside As seen by Jonathan Dyson, sales manager of Hamptons Battersea and Wandsworth Twist or stick?

As more and more newspapers carry reports of a London property bubble, the question of the year is whether the price increases we are seeing in the capital are over-inflated or just down to genuine growth.

In the last 12 months the Land Registry data shows that London property prices have grown by around 10 per cent and some local markets have shown 12 to 15 per cent. Looking forward, it would be inconceivable that these rates of increase are repeated in 2014, and if they were, there would be a very real threat of boom and bust. The residential aspect of the Funding for Lending scheme is now consigned to history, and already this month both Santander and NatWest have started to increase their fixed-rate mortgages.

From a personal perspective, I valued around twice as many properties in January than the same month last year, and had a busy February too. This is a pretty clear indication that stock levels will be better this year than last.

It was predominantly the lack of stock in 2013 that led to the price rises we have seen, so if stock levels increase and buyer numbers diminish, prices will level off. No one believes that prices will drop.

However, there will definitely be a moment when more stock comes to the market, and if this is also coupled with buyers becoming unwilling to pay ‘peak of the market’ prices, this will almost certainly signal a settling of the market where a more balanced ratio of buyers and properties return, and prices level out.

If you’re selling, then the key is making the judgement call of exactly when the perfect moment is to sell. Go on the market too soon and you might miss out on another few months’ growth. Leave it too late and you suddenly find that buyers have much more choice and you have to price yourself more competitively.

Most of the big name agents are predicting that the turning point will be in late first quarter or early second quarter of this year, and if not then, certainly when the usual rush of property comes to the market in the spring.

So we’re back to the same old property gamble – twist or stick, call or raise? I’m not a gambler but even if I was, I think it would be a brave seller that leaves it much longer.

Reach for Battersea Two apartments are on the market at Ascensis Tower, part of Battersea Reach, the St George development featuring a series of waterfront buildings cascading down towards the edge of the Thames.

An apartment on the sixth floor of Ascensis Tower has more than 1900 sq ft of ‘immaculate’ living space and has superb Thames views.

Heavenly tower’s views are divine T

his towering house on the west side of Gipsy Hill, near the junction with Highland Road, was created from the former Christ Church building, consecrated in 1867 and originally designed by John Giles of Giles Gough and Trollope.

Much of the Victorian church was destroyed by fire in 1982 but this exceptional landmark property has since been extended and converted into a unique fourbedroom home with fascinating original features that include a functioning church clock.

Living space at the heavenly house includes a doubleended reception room and an elegant eat-in kitchen with fully integrated appliances. The four bedrooms are all doubles, and two have en suite bathrooms.

A large roof terrace has divine views of central London, and the property offers access to a large and private paved driveway. Nearby Gipsy Hill railway station provides services to London Bridge, Victoria, Beckenham Junction and Sutton.

Garden of England T

hree acres of lush gardens and grounds encircle Huntbourne, this seven-bedroom family house off a country lane two-and-a-half miles outside the Cinque Port town of Tenterden in Kent - the county known as the Garden of England.

Stone and brick terraces present leisurely areas for al fresco dining, supported by manicured lawns, a wild flower meadow with a covered well, and mature trees such as oak, horse chestnut, apple, quince, Victoria plum and cobnut.

A footbridge leads over a meandering stream and through the rose garden to the heated swimming pool, pool house and croquet lawn. Three former stables are arranged around an attractive courtyard next to the house, and there’s a detached double garage.

Featuring materials from an original medieval building that once stood on the site, the house itself offers more than 7300 sq ft of country living space arranged on three floors, plus a useful cellar.

A suite of elegant reception rooms off the wide entrance hall includes a light and airy drawing room, a sitting room with beams and mullion windows, and a formal dining room. All have open fireplaces. A study has custom-made cupboards, shelving and two desks

by Neville Johnson.

Open to the breakfast room, the kitchen has terracotta floor tiles with ceramic insets, an original Edwardian dresser, central island and breakfast bar with granite and wood work surfaces.

A turned staircase leads to a decorative galleried landing and five bedrooms served by a dressing room and three bath or shower rooms (two en suite). The second floor has three more bedrooms – one currently used as a gym – a recreation room and attic access.

country view Special report

by Helen Wood, associate director of Savills Locksbottom

A

s we move towards spring, and a time that typically sees an upturn in activity in the residential sales market, we have a list of applicants who are very motivated to find their next home.

Many of the buyers are keen to move within the area or from London, and no longer have the hesitancy that we saw at the start of last year. Competitively priced and good-sized properties are without a doubt sought after, particularly those ranging from £700,000 to £1.2m. The London Borough of Bromley is perfectly suited to those who are looking to make a lifestyle change, with key factors such as schools and an improved quality of life, but still within a 30-minute commute into the City.

Despite our optimism about the market, we are now finding that the supply of properties is failing to meet the demand from buyers, who are becoming increasingly frustrated by the lack of choice. However, this is having a positive impact on house prices in the area as more buyers are chasing fewer properties, which is leading to competitive bidding situations.

One of the reasons potential vendors are taking their time launching their properties to the market is the lack of available properties for them to buy. They are keen to move but are delaying their decision, and in turn potential buyers are finding low levels of stock available. However, given the number of properties that we are being invited to appraise, we remain optimistic that the number of new instructions will improve over the coming months.

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

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

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

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

SHOPPING Major retailers are represented in the Victoria Centre, meeting up with smaller, boutique-style shops in the High Street area. Tunbridge Wells is also well known for The Pantiles, a colonnaded walkway dating back to the Georgian era when Tunbridge Wells was famed for its spa. The Pantiles now includes unique specialist shops, lovely antique shops, bars, cafes and restaurants.

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

RESTAURANTS AND PUBS A huge variety of restaurants in Tunbridge Wells includes the family owned Sankeys Seafood Brasserie on Mount Ephraim; the Black Pig Pub and Dining Room for great, simple food in smart surroundings; and Thackerays – Michelin-star modern French cuisine in a stunning Grade II-listed building.

LEISURE The town centre has a number of spas and fitness and leisure centres.

We also have Tunbridge Wells and Nevill Golf Clubs, Tunbridge Wells Lawn Tennis Club, and the cricket club. Further afield are Ashdown Forest, Bedgebury Pinetum, and Bewl Water Country Park offering sailing, fishing, riding and host of family activities. There are numerous National Trust properties to visit, and Lingfield Park Racecourse is nearby.

SCHOOLS An excellent choice of private and state primary and secondary schools includes: Judd, Tonbridge Girls Grammar, Tunbridge Wells Girls Grammar and The Skinners. Private schools include Homewood House, Rose Hill, Beechwood Sacred Heart, Sevenoaks and Tonbridge.

TRANSPORT Tunbridge Wells train station has regular services to London Bridge, Waterloo, Cannon Street and Charing Cross in less than an hour. There is easy access to the M25, M20 and the Channel Tunnel.

Journey to the Moon O

n the edge of the Hampshire village of Grayshott, close to the Surrey and Wessex borders, Hunters Moon is set in the middle of the former Kingswood Firs Estate, between Stoney Bottom, Crossways Road and Waggoners Wells.

Hunters Moon was the estate’s main residence and stands in a protected position, hidden from view and surrounded by its own grounds of 7.7 acres. A private drive leads up to a large turning circle in front of the house.

Made of brick and tile-hung elevations under a multipitched tiled roof, the house was built between 1884 and 1894 with later additions. The current owners refurbished the property between 1992 and 1994.

Attractive and unusual design features include several arched windows, large bay window in the drawing room, and the dramatic, timber-clad, pitched roof in the family room. A central reception hall leads to the magnificent 32ft drawing room, as well as a study, formal dining room, and wine cellar. The kitchen and utility area, substantially redesigned by the current owners, has an Aga and plenty of room for a large breakfast table.

Beneath the kitchen are extensive cellars and a boiler room, and from the hall next to the kitchen a passageway leads into the wood store. Six bedrooms served by four bathrooms are set over the first and second floors. The impressive master suite has two dressing rooms.

The grounds contain traditional stables, tack room, paddocks and ménage for equestrian enthusiasts, as well as a swimming pool, and formal gardens by Chelsea Gold Medal winner Fiona Lawrenson.

surreyscene Special report by Hugh Ball, negotiator at Savills Farnham

S

outh-West Londoners are ‘shawshanking’ their way to freedom and homes in South Downs National Park. In stark contrast to Andy Dufresne’s gut-wrenching escape bid in the movie The Shawshank Redemption, passing through the 1830-metre £371m A3 Hindhead Tunnel is surprisingly pleasant and certainly convenient.

Almost two years on from the opening of the tunnel, the perceived impact on property prices in the immediate geographical area has been positive, according to our experience at Savills Farnham.

House values in key town locations such as Haslemere, which have always benefited from superb main line rail links into central London, have not altered greatly, but the addition of the Hindhead Tunnel has definitely had a positive impact on values in slightly more rural areas and locations further afield.

This is certainly due, in part, to the reduction in journey time by road, meaning Guildford can be reached in 15 minutes less, and the capital can be reached in just over an hour by car.

In addition, as traffic congestion associated with the Devil’s Punch Bowl has been eliminated, it has afforded buyers the opportunity to widen their geographical search from Surrey into East Hampshire without severing themselves from the practicalities of an entirely sensible commute, or from actually seeing their City friends at the weekend.

Areas which may have previously been discounted by commuters, such as Beacon Hill, Churt, Hindhead, Grayshott, Bramshott, Petersfield and Selbourne, are now benefiting from increased interest from London purchasers and, as a result, an uplift in property values.

The current gap in values between the London and country markets has never been larger and these areas in particular, with their stunning countryside and superb selection of independent schools and now far easier travel links into the capital, have much to offer prospective purchasers – particularly those moving out of London seeking more house and land for their money.

surrey vibe Hugh Ball takes South on a guided tour of the East Hampshire village of Grayshott, near Hindhead ATTRACTIONS Wonderful countryside in the area includes Waggoners Wells, the Devil’s Punchbowl and Hindhead Commons (both National Trust), Frensham Common and Frensham Great Pond.

TOP ROADS Whitmore Vale, Ladygate Drive and Headley Road have some of the most sought-after property in the area. Many have a surprisingly rural feel and wonderful views over the surrounding countryside.

SHOPS Applegarth Farm Shop has a whole host of locally sourced foods and a great selection of foods including ready meals, freshly baked bread, cheese, fruit and a deli counter. There is also butcher and fishmonger, an off-licence, post office, optician, pharmacy and vets.

RESTAURANTS AND PUBS The Duke of Cambridge in Tilford and the Pride of the Valley in Churt both provide excellent pub food and there are numerous cafes and pubs and restaurants in Haslemere.

Hotels include the Devil’s Punch Bowl,

Georgian House Hotel and Lythe Hill Hotel.

SCHOOLS A good selection of excellent private and state schools for all ages includes Frensham Heights, Edgeborough, Alton College and Godalming Sixth Form Colleges, Grayshott Primary School, Amesbury, St Edmunds, the Royal School and Highfield.

LEISURE Grayshott Spa offers an indoor swimming pool with hydrotherapy, indoor and outdoor tennis courts, a nine-hole golf course and exercise programmes.

Golf clubs include Hindhead, Hankley Common and Old Thorns at Liphook.

TRANSPORT Communications are excellent with the A3 providing swift access to the M25 and national motorway network as well as Heathrow, Gatwick and Southampton Airports.

Haslemere main line station is around 2.5 miles away, with trains to London Waterloo taking from 52 minutes.

GATED SCHEME IN CLAPHAM Redwood Mews, a gated development off Hannington Road in Clapham Old Town, has a two-bedroom flat with a reception containing plenty of space for dining.

A short walk from Clapham Common, the property has a modern fitted eat-in kitchen, main bathroom and en suite shower room. Both bedrooms are doubles with fitted wardrobes, and the flat also has a garden, garage and storage space.

A

s the sales market continues to gain pace, many tenants are having to rent as home ownership is out of their reach financially.

Private tenants look for stability and in some cases will negotiate a lower rent, with a guaranteed period on either side, to ensure they are not forced to move. Fixing rents for 24 months has become more prevalent for private tenants as they look to safeguard their outgoings, much like fixing a mortgage rate, so there are no nasty surprises in a year’s time.

Corporate relocation is on the increase with particular movement from the oil companies, technology and pharmaceuticals. The economic forecast for these types of businesses is strong, borne out by the increase in employee movement to London from overseas.

Interestingly, a company or employee will insist on a break clause at six months, and employees are more likely to serve around 20 months of a predicted 24 to 36-month term in the current economic climate. This is

a turnaround from five to 10 years ago when a corporate tenancy would always last longer than a private lease.

We are aware of one blue-chip oil company that will be bringing more than 50 employees to London this year, many of them to Wimbledon. Will there be enough stock to fuel their demands? Certainly some accidental landlords who entered the market in the last five years have finally sold their properties after taking advantage of the strong sales market.

Will we also see an exodus from some overseas landlords who hold property here but may look to sell as capital gains tax changes come into force in April 2014?

If supply is affected, rental prices may rise, but I do expect this to be tempered by cost-conscious private tenants who shop around, and companies who stick rigidly to their budgets.

It is set to be a busy year and four to five-bedroom family homes in good locations will be in strong demand.

the last word Alex Howard Baker, director for Savills Putney, gives his answers to South

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

I joined after returning from Germany, where I’d worked as a singer. Back in the UK, I knew I wanted to work in the London property market and started out in the mid-town area near Holborn. Seven months later, a position in Savills Putney became available and I haven’t looked back since.

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

I love working in the family house market, helping people move up, down and sideways.

A recent highlight was selling a house for a client who has been on my books for over ten years. I also thoroughly enjoy working on development schemes.

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

Juggling is certainly the biggest daily challenge, not letting any of the balls drop.

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

Join a good firm that will take time to train you, not just in the relevant legislation, but also to help improve your general abilities.

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

The current market is very possibly the most

difficult I’ve seen for buyers. My key advice would be to get all your ducks in a row financially, and be upfront about your position.

While estate agents ultimately represent the vendor, we always try to look after our buyers as well. For us to help you, there needs to be complete honesty about your ability to complete the deal.

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

This market tends to be rather more constant than other areas of London, driven by buyers’ discretion rather than by investment.

While we’re seeing an increasing number of international buyers, they don’t dominate the market.

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

to tackle the newly proposed London airport, establishing clear requirements on the level of impact caused to nearby property owners.

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

I might be biased, but for me Putney is the best place to live south of the river. It’s got excellent access to central London and the City, the river, fantastic housing stock, wonderful schools and easy access out of London. There are also some outstanding recreational facilities.

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

I’d either want to stay in the property industry and become an architect, or become a music producer.

I predict it will be driven by a lack of good stock and a scarcity in supply, particularly for family homes. Savills Research forecasts price rises of 6 per cent in outer prime London for the year ahead, rising to 22.7 per cent by 2017.

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

My first change would be to make stamp duty a progressive tax, which I believe would increase the number of transactions as well as improving the government’s takings. Secondly, I’d like
