Ask the expert

...property manager

Q

What can a management agent offer, and what should you look for when choosing the right agent?

Nicola Malden, head of Residential Property Management at Savills, replies...

A

Savills is committed to providing expert advice and delivering a quality property management service that gives our landlords peace of mind and maximises their financial return. As your managing agent, it is our job to make sure we look after the property and that our landlords and their tenants enjoy a happy and trouble-free tenancy.

When choosing a managing agent, landlords should be looking for a regulated agent who is a licensed member of a professional body such as the Association of Residential Lettings Agents (ARLA). An ARLA-licensed agent will have client money protection cover, as well as qualified members of staff who understand the legislation landlords must comply with to look after their property throughout the lettings process.

Moving is one of the most stressful events in life and it is therefore vital that a new tenancy starts well. Savills process is geared to making sure all the pre-tenancy requirements such as inventories and cleaning – as well as any special conditions – are met so that the tenancy gets off on the right foot. When the tenancy ends, we do our very best to make sure deposit negotiations are handled fairly and effectively.

The management of a tenancy is technical in nature. A landlord must ensure the property meets certain statutory requirements, the most common of which are obtaining an Energy Performance Certificate, annual checks of any gas installation and appliances, and ensuring supplied furnishing complies with the regulations. A landlord must also ensure the electrics and any electrical appliances supplied are safe.

As well as these regulations, we will also be able to advise on any other legal and health and safety requirements that may be specific to your property, such as asbestos, water hygiene, eyebolts, balconies and stair balustrades.

Savills property managers visit the property just prior to the tenancy commencing to check any works that have been undertaken are complete, and to ensure the property is ready for occupation. The dedicated property manager will meet the tenants at the start of the tenancy to ensure a smooth start.

LONDON PROPERTY

REVIEW

marketview A number of journalists have contacted me recently asking if the London housing market has peaked, reports property finder Robert Bailey.

They want to know if this means people should sell up in London and buy in the country, where there is better value. It is true the prime central London market has corrected itself. After months of frothy activity, the market has finally returned to normality (or as close as prime central London ever comes to normality).

Whereas a few weeks ago we were being pressured to put in inflated bids to secure a property, we are now being chased by agents asking: “Um, is your client going to make an offer?”

The reasons are multi-fold. Partly, vendors just got greedy and started charging premium prices for standard properties. Partly it is down to exchange rates.

Just a few months ago, London property appeared relatively inexpensive to overseas buyers because sterling was weak against major world currencies.

Now that sterling is at a six-year high against the dollar, and the European Central Bank is refusing to rule out further rounds of quantitative easing while the Bank of England signals interest rate rises, London property is suddenly looking very expensive to overseas buyers.

Then there is simple supply and demand. Many of the overseas buyers who wanted to buy a property in London have already bought, and the ones who are already here are not in a rush to trade up. Prices in the capital’s most salubrious neighbourhoods are still reassuringly expensive, but thankfully prices are no longer appreciating at an unsustainable rate.

The overall picture for London remains strong because the domestic market is rebounding. While foreign buyers were playing a true-life version of Monopoly, most domestic buyers in London’s inner and outer suburbs were staying put. Now with growing consumer confidence and interest rates still at record lows, this sector of the market has picked up speed.

So would I recommend selling up in London and moving to the country? No. The reason London prices keep going up over the long term is because it is a dynamic world city with so much to offer in terms of culture, entertainment, shopping, fine dining and much more.

Although I love my weekend cottage in the New Forest, I cannot see myself living there full-time. It’s great for a few days but I need a bit more stimulation in my life and I think most Londoners would say they need the same. The commute would be too hard and from a financial perspective, it would be disastrous.

London house prices will keep appreciating whereas countryside properties simply will not appreciate at the same rate. There is no point in making a gain in the short term and a loss over the long term.

Set on the exclusive Wentworth Estate, Crossacres is a magnificent country mansion in 2.3 acres of grounds on the market for £17.5m. Knight Frank 01344 840020.

Chapter & Verse The ‘London ripple’ effect is boosting country house values. Oliver Knight of Knight Frank Residential Research examines the latest figures.

Prime country house prices in England rose by 1.1 per cent in the second quarter of 2014, taking the annual increase in prices to 5.2 per cent over the year to June.

Although still playing catch-up with the prime market in London, where prices increased by 7.8 per cent over the year to May, this is the strongest rate of annual growth in the prime country market in four years.

Looking at market activity, the volume of prime country sales completed in the second quarter was 11 per cent higher than the corresponding period last year.

This was driven primarily by the sub£2m market, which accounted for 80 per cent of Knight Frank sales over the three months to June.

The higher volume of sub-£2m sales has contributed to stronger price rises for homes valued below this threshold.

While average values of sub-£2m prime properties rose by 1.3 per cent between April and June, growth in value for houses worth over £2m was 0.6 per cent. Superprime homes over £5m actually fell in value by 2.3 per cent over the course of the quarter, although they remain 1.2 per cent higher on an annual basis.

While there are indications that buyers

have started to factor the higher 7 per cent stamp duty charge for £2m-plus properties into decisions, fresh uncertainty surrounding the possible introduction and form of a ‘mansion tax’ has contributed to lower price growth for homes worth £2m-plus.

On a regional basis, the Home Counties and South West markets have continued to benefit most from the ‘London ripple’ effect, with house price growth spreading outwards from central London.

Additionally, these markets are being boosted by the return of London buyers.

This is reflected in country hotspots, many of which are close or within commuting distance of the capital. Prices of prime property in Winchester and Cobham rose by 2.6 per cent in the second quarter, while prices in Virginia Water were 2.5 per cent higher and in Oxford values climbed by 1.8 per cent.

Looking to the future, there are signs momentum may be slowing slightly. While the number of property viewings was fairly steady during the three months to June compared to the same period last year, the number of prospective buyers registering their interest in buying a prime country home fell by 2 per cent.

London Voice

Special report by Charlie Bubear, head of Savills Chelsea

2014 has been an interesting year for the property market in Chelsea. After a sluggish start in January, the first quarter came to the boil with buyers competing fiercely for stock and prices continuing to rise rapidly.

As we moved into May, the market began to simmer, with price sensitivity creeping back in. June and July paint a similar picture: while demand is still strong for best-in-class houses and flats, buyers now have greater choice so correct pricing is paramount.

After exceptional growth over the past five years, up by 75 per cent since 2009, property prices in Chelsea and across prime central London are beginning to plateau. This isn’t to say the market is motionless – there is still plenty of activity taking place and stock levels are up – but the pace of growth we’ve seen has become unsustainable and is now returning to a more normal level. In the past few weeks alone we’ve exchanged sales from £840,000 to more than £6m, showing core and prime market properties are both still active.

Looking ahead to what is currently available, we’ve recently taken on a fantastic development called King’s Quay (pictured) by Frontier Estates. It offers buyers a unique opportunity in Chelsea Harbour as the development could currently be configured in two different ways: as a palatial five-bedroom apartment with games, gym and staff quarters, or two luxurious apartments, one with four bedrooms and the second with three. Prices start from £5.94m for the three-bedroom apartment, to £16.4m for the complete space and demand will decide the final configuration.

Each apartment has been exquisitely planned and would benefit from individually designed Boffi kitchens, underfloor heating and comfort cooling throughout, energy efficient LED lights, and Sonos sound systems in all principal rooms. Stepping out of the apartment complex, its location in Chelsea Harbour continues to impress, with a picturesque setting populated by luxury yachts and speedboats, and all the leisure and entertainment opportunities you could ask for.

propertytalk Two-wheel Londoners want homes close to Boris bike stands or with good cycle storage, finds Cheryl Markosky Cycling is popular in the capital, from mums nipping down to the shops on their pink Pashleys, to serious, Lycra-clad commuters pedalling away on thousandpound machines.

With cycle-mania on the up, more people ask about bike storage as they’re not keen to leave cycles on view when they’ve paid quite a bit for them, argues Tom Tangney from Knight Frank Kensington.

He believes installing bike storage as part of a basement dig is a plus, as it counts towards your Green Points renewable energy-saving ideas. “Without these, you won’t get planning permission.”

Tangney adds that decent bike storage isn’t viewed as just an extra. “When people are looking at flats, it can make or break their decision to buy.”

Peter Rollings of Marsh & Parsons thinks it’s difficult to determine whether proximity to Boris bikes adds any value to a property’s asking price.

“However, we see this becoming a growing factor that will enhance a home’s appeal, particularly if it’s not served by the best transport links.”

The influx of cycles into the borough of Hammersmith and Fulham has impacted on how locals travel without having to rely on public transport, points out Jamie Lester of Haus Properties.

“That gorgeous home on the 15-minute boundary to a tube station may benefit from a docking station for a pain-free commute. It can then start to be more ambitious with its asking price.”

Also, Lester believes the scarcity of parking permits has had a knock-on effect on sales, limiting buyers to non-car owners. “But with the introduction of Boris bikes, this is a simpler way for homeowners to get about without a vehicle.”

The younger generation, inspired by sporting events and athletes such as Sir Chris Hoy and Sir Bradley Wiggins, is especially eager to cycle, notes Bobby Parikh of Charles Derby Estates, Notting Hill.

He’s spotted an increase in buyers looking for secure bicycle places.

“Cycling is regarded as trendy. Young IT contractors and bankers ask about Boris bikes. When advising buyers on location, we ask how they’ll commute to work, highlighting cycle routes, stands and sheds.”

Areas covered by Boris bikes are more of an issue with renters, while buyers can make provisions for a ‘proper’ bicycle, observers Saul Empson from Haringtons UK. “Boris Bikes are a terrific resource, but compared even to a £100 bike from Halfords, they’re a tiresome, old jalopy to get about on.”

Property prices keep on rising

The great base rate debate: the Bank of England has given its fair share of mixed messages over the last few months and it is difficult to work out when base rate will increase. All we do know is that when it does happen, the BoE insist it will be slow and gradual.

Now is still a great time to take one of the cheap two-year fixes or one of the longer term fixes priced around 3 per cent.

If you are attracted by the low tracker rate available, then you must consider that when base rate does start to return to more normal levels, you are able to cope with the higher repayments, particularly with nearly all new mortgages being taken on full capital repayment.

Ultimately rates are going to rise. It’s important you understand the potential implications and are able to adjust to the higher payments you will face.

It’s down to confidence and good jobs, reports Duncan Farmer income multiples against which buyers can borrow, and that will have some impact on the market. However, the number of people stretching themselves beyond this amount in the past was relatively small, so the effect of his measure will be equally small.

The effects of the mortgage market review, which slowed down applications and led to borrowers scrutinising applications more closely, have also had a small impact, but buyers with a good credit history and a good, secure job are still in a position to buy a house or flat. As long as there are still people out there with job security and confidence, prices will continue to rise.

In 2007, the average homeowner with a mortgage spent 48 per cent of their net monthly income on mortgage repayments.

Today that figure is 19 per cent.

Homeowners today have almost a third more of their income left over once they’ve paid their mortgage. That is in spite of the fact that house prices have risen way beyond 2007 levels.

Interest rates would have to rise far sharper than even the most pessimistic analyst suggests to make a big dent in those figures. The only thing that will really force down property values is the sort of financial chaos we saw in 2007 and 2008, and I can’t imagine anyone would vote for a repeat of that.

A headline in the Evening Standard recently suggested that more than half of all Londoners wanted house prices in the capital to fall. That’s hardly surprising: figures also show that more half of people living in London cannot afford to buy a house in London, so it stands to reason that they would want prices to come down.

More important, Mark Carney, the governor of the Bank of England, believes that house prices are the biggest threat to the country’s economic recovery, although, of course, if the economy were not in such good shape, house prices would be falling automatically. The rise in values is surely linked directly to the fall in unemployment and rising growth.

Foreign buyers are coming to London precisely because there are jobs and economic security here. Look at Spain: its finances are still in a dire state, unemployment is at 25 per cent, and house prices are falling fast. So much so that one in four expats has sold up and moved back to Britain. Only Russians are buying there, but that’s primarily because visa regulations have been relaxed and they think there are property bargains to be had.

Mr Carney has tinkered with the mortgage market by limiting the maximum

Peak will be in 2015 House price growth is expected to slow from 2015, when the market will peak, according to experts from the Economic Research Council. The rate of price rises is forecasted to decline slowly from 2015 onwards, with property prices beginning to plateau from 2019, when the average house price in England and Wales is expected to reach £212,000.

Matthew Pointon of Capital Economics said: “Tight market conditions will lead to further house price gains over the next few months. Robust economic growth this year and next, alongside a rise in real earnings, will push prices up further in 2015. But house prices are already high in relation to earnings, and as interest rates gradually edge up from the second half of 2015, the pace of gains will slow.

“Our central forecast is for a long period of stable house prices as earnings catch up, but a sharper correction – perhaps caused by a faster-thanexpected rise in interest rates – is still a risk.”

REVIEW More complaints The number of people complaining about mortgages has risen by 6 per cent over the past year, according to figures from the Council for Mortgage Lenders and the Financial Ombudsman Service.

The total number of complaints, 12,606, equates to just 0.1 per cent of the more than 11.1 million mortgages outstanding in the UK. Areas of complaint about mortgages noted by the FOS included: ‘a small but steady number of complaints’ about inappropriate advice when taking out an interestonly mortgage; and changes to interest rates on standard variable and tracker mortgages.

Interestingly, complaints from people on interest-only mortgages who had come to the end of their term with no means to pay off their outstanding capital were very few.

This may be a result of additional advice given to interestonly borrowers, but it may also be linked to the fact that anyone who bought a house or flat with an interest-only mortgage 25 years ago, when the average house cost £70,000 compared with £186,000 today (according to Nationwide), has made so much money in capital growth that they have no complaints.

The belief that mortgage rates are going to rise is having a dramatic effect on new borrowing.

According to the latest figures, 89 per cent of borrowers are opting for fixed-rate loans and just six per cent are taking out tracker mortgages that mirror movements in the Bank of England base rate.

However, if you look at statistics for the 11 million mortgages currently outstanding, just 35 per cent are on fixed rates and 65 per cent on variable rates.

With many attractive fixed-rate deals still on the market, and an almost unshakeable certainty that rates will start rising very soon, perhaps those 65 per cent should get in touch with their lender.

Lond n eye Keeping you informed on latest property news and views

Paying a premium for London park views Access to green space is often high on the wishlist of anyone looking to buy property in London. But if you’d like a direct park view, homes come with a price premium, reports estate agent Winkworth.

The price of flats sold on roads alongside or overlooking some of London’s most famous parks carry a clear premium compared with homes on neighbouring streets without the park views. Premiums also vary according to the park.

Views of Hyde Park generate the biggest premiums of all. On the north side, flats with direct park views are 36 per cent more expensive than those without direct views. The premium rises even higher – to 59 per cent – on the south side, which includes parts of Kensington and Knightsbridge.

New developments such as 1 Hyde Park and The Lancasters overlooking Hyde Park have moved parkside living into a different league. According to Winkworth, using Land Registry and Lonres data, properties overlooking the north side of Hyde Park have seen prices rise by 210 per cent in the past decade, outperforming the still significant growth in streets further from the park (126 per cent).

To the south side in the past decade, the average value of parkside properties sold has increased by a staggering 372 per cent, compared with 210 per cent for homes further from the park.

“It’s testament to the resilience of London’s planners overs the years that, despite the chronic shortage of housing, the temptation to build on parkland has been largely resisted.

However, as a result, a room with a view has never been such a prized asset,” says Winkworth.

Two new presidents Simon Gerrard, managing director of the Martyn Gerrard estate agency since 2000, has been appointed president of the National Association of Estate Agents (NAEA) for the coming year.

Simon has worked in estate agency for 25 years and began his career in Conrad Riblat’s retail department before moving to Druce & Co’s commercial department. He joined Martyn Gerrard, his father’s practice, in 1991.

He said: “I hope to improve recognition of NAEA as the industry’s leading voice at Westminster with the intention to shape legislation that will help improve professional standards and licensing across the whole property industry.”

Valerie Bannister, head of lettings at Your Move, has been made president of the Association of Residential Lettings Agents (ARLA). Valeria has 30 years of experience in lettings including Your Move, which has 300 branches around the UK.

On square where Lennon lived Montagu Square in Marylebone is famous for London’s most celebrated rock and pop residence: a former home of John Lennon, who lived on the square in 1968.

Yoko Ono unveiled the English Heritage blue plaque on the wall of 34 Montagu Square in 2010, and yet the Lennons were not the only rock royalty to inhabit the ground floor and basement flat.

Fellow Beatle Ringo bought the apartment in 1965 and lived there with his wife Maureen until the arrival of their son Zak. Paul McCartney was Ringo’s tenant in 1966 and used the basement as a recording studio, working on Eleanor Rigby and other songs.

Later that year, Jimi Hendrix lived in the basement with his girlfriend while his manager Chas Chandler and girlfriend occupied the first floor. John and Yoko moved in when Hendrix moved to nearby Brook Street, and Ringo sold the property in 1969.

Currently for sale elsewhere in Montagu Square is a ground and first floor duplex, a rarity since most

Park life combines light and space Standing on the edge of Ravenscourt Park on the borders of Hammersmith and Chiswick, a family house in Goldhawk Road enjoys all the benefits that two boroughs can offer.

It’s a short walk across the park to the tube station, and the four or five-bedroom property in Goldhawk Road has excellent views across the park and its family-orientated attractions, which include wildlife, play equipment, tennis and basketball courts, tea-house and garden centre.

The current owners extended the house in 2008 and it contains a number of impressive individual features such as curved walls, a disco ball on the ceiling of one of the receptions, and bursts of colour throughout.

Total inside space is now 3820 sq ft.

On the ground floor – bathed in natural light – two receptions, a study and an open plan kitchen and dining room provide excellent living and entertaining space. Ample storage space is found in a separate larder, integral garage and eaves, and a cloakroom beneath one of two staircases.

Light and space continues throughout the first floor and the two staircases lead to large landings. A large master bedroom containing an en suite shower and bath has large windows with double-aspect views of the secluded rear garden. It also has a dressing room.

A driveway leading to the front of the house has offstreet parking for up to four cars, and the rear garden – complete with shed – is 185ft long. Nearby shopping features an expanding selection of delis, boutiques and niche suppliers.

Magical garden Spectacularly ultra-modern, the garden at a remodelled house in Dulwich Village regularly opens its gates to the public under the National Gardens Scheme. This July it attracted record numbers of visitors after a rapturous review by The Independent’s gardening correspondent, who called it the best of its kind she’d seen.

“It’s a wonderfully exciting garden, but calm too, part of the calmness coming from the quietly homogenous way the boundaries have been treated,” reported Anna Pavord in The Independent, telling her readers not to miss the chance to visit owner Helen Marsden’s horticultural masterpiece.

Fairfield’s magical garden covers almost an acre and its width is accentuated by a contemporary heated swimming pool directly outside the vast glass-fronted kitchen, family and dining space. Two walls behind the pool catch your eye: one is painted brilliant fuchsia pink and the other a paler hue.

Landscape architect Christopher Bradley-Hole, a Chelsea gold medal winner, designed the 226ft by 158ft fully irrigated garden. The walls, pool and terrace outside the glass extension were created by Acq Architects, who Helen commissioned to transform the house with a total re-design.

Since the house was remodelled in 2000, the property has featured in movies such as London Boulevard (2010), TV programmes including How to Look Good Naked, and commercials and photoshoots for major brands such as Marks & Spencer and John Lewis.

The seven-bedroom property is set back from the road behind large wrought-iron gates and has generous off-street parking. The ground floor is largely open plan and you can admire the garden from the impressive glass extension.

DIY SOS Streatham Cheryl Markosky meets a builder who crafts a distinctive project in his downtime to rescue a worn-out home You’d think that construction boss Lucas Pulak, from Lucas Construction Design & Build, would just want to put his feet up and sip a cold beer after a hard day on a building site.

However, this industrious worker specialising in extensions and loft conversions decided his leisure time was better spent revamping a worn-out house in Strathbrook Road, close to the High Road and Common.

Pulak, who purchased the 1920s house back in 2012, says it was in ‘really bad shape’. The bathroom had avocado sanitary ware and he had to ‘do everything’ including re-plumbing, rewiring, plastering and installing central heating.

“I had to get permission from Lambeth Council to put on an extension to create a large open-plan kitchen and dining area. You need a place where you can cook and the kids can play,” he points out.

It was worth the effort, however, as Pulak has thrust the house out back at ground level to produce a spacious, contemporary area leading onto the neatsized garden with easy-care decking and grass. He also

tucked in a reception room with a cosy fireplace.

Although the upper floor now has a must-have, stylish master bedroom suite and two additional bedrooms, Pulak says that if he had to choose just one favourite zone in the house, it would have to be the kitchen diner.

“My wife and I spend lots of time there. In the winter, we fire up the wood-burner that pushes out a lot of heat, watch TV and relax.”

It’s easy to chill in the rest of the house too, with its blend of older features and the modern. Pulak has painted the beams black, which he’s offset against white in a monochrome scheme.

As having somewhere to park the car is almost as important these days as the interior design of a property, the large garage with storage space at the back will be applauded. There’s planning in place to fashion a front driveway as well.

After spending £290,000 to renovate the house, Pulak reckons he’s saved about £150,000, which is how much more he would have had to fork out if he hadn’t carried out the bulk of the work himself. But now it’s time to move on.

“Pulak knows what he is doing as the house is both practical and comfortable. It is has a very homely and welcoming feel to it, and you can tell that it was done for himself and not just an investment project.”

use of sculpture and interior design features. Impressive double-height space in the main entrance lobby will contain focal points including Jan Hendrix’s sculpture and an impressive Van Der Straeten hanging lamp.

Bustamante said: “My background as a sculptor and painter allows me to understand and conceive spaces as sculptures themselves, recognising the interplay of occupied space and voids. Through my work at Embassy Gardens I have been able to enhance the spacial experience and bring the space to life.” www.embassygardens.com 020 7062 8940

“High quality design and inspirational art are integral to the Ballymore ethos and we have ensured both are incorporated into the lives of Embassy Gardens residents and visitors” Sean Mulryan, Ballymore

Family potential Owned by the same family for the past 30 years, an eight-bedroom detached house in Putney, offers many original period features and the potential to extend.

A grand entrance hall with original staircase leads to a front study and a triple reception room that runs the length of the house. With double doors out into the garden, this reception space is currently used as a formal sitting room, library and dining room.

The kitchen and breakfast room also opens out into the extensive garden, which measures 103ft by 80ft and contains a patio area, fountain and small pond. A games room leads off the kitchen, and stairs lead down to a cellar with excellent storage space.

RIVERSIDE PARK

On the first and second floors are the eight bedrooms and four bathrooms. The master bedroom has an en suite bathroom with built-in wardrobes and doors lead to a roof terrace with superb views across the garden.

One of the top floor bedrooms has an en suite bathroom and adjoining extra kitchen and would make ideal living space for a nanny. Putney High Street is twothirds of a mile away.

Golden opportunity Standing in one of the most highly regarded residential roads in Wimbledon Village, this large detached Edwardian house features a top floor flat that would be ideal as selfcontained living space for family or staff.

Built around 1908, the 5455 sq ft property was once described as ‘a copy of an Edwardian gentleman’s Cotswold country manor’ and is on the market for the first time in almost 60 years. The current owners have lived here for more than 45 years and acquired the house privately.

Now this individual home on a plot of almost a third of an acre in highly sought-after Highbury Road presents an exciting opportunity to transform the property for 21st century living while preserving its original character.

A galleried reception hall leads to two formal receptions: the rear drawing room leads out into the garden and

the front dining room doubles as a billiards room. Also on the ground floor, a kitchen and breakfast room leads to a family sitting room.

On the first floor, five bedrooms and three bathrooms are arranged around the impressive gallery, which leads to a balcony overlooking the garden. A hidden staircase leads to the second floor currently arranged as a two-bed flat with sitting room, kitchen diner and bathroom.

The spectacular south-facing rear garden of more than 135 sq ft features extensive flower and shrub beds and a formal parterre garden leading to a large lawn. The front of the house has a garden, off-street parking and garage.

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.

Impressive family house An extremely impressive family house positioned on a sought after residential street between the commons.

The overall finish is exceptional and the house has been almost entirely rebuilt. The incoming purchaser will be acquiring a property that has been stripped back to the party walls and the façade. The floors, the roofs, the windows, the plumbing and electrics are all new.

The interior has been beautifully finished with excellent quality fittings and materials used throughout. There is a double reception room towards the front of the building on the ground floor, which boasts excellent Victorian proportions measuring approximately 26 feet in length.

The room has been designed with two separate zones in mind; with the front area as a more formal drawing room and the rear section as a more relaxed family space.

There is a decorative fire place, a bay window and plenty of good quality built in joinery, providing excellent ample storage. Stunning wide oak floor boards run throughout the ground floor. The rear section of the reception room opens in to the kitchen dining room with plenty of space for entertaining as well as every day family living. The kitchen is well equipped with integrated appliances and marble work surfaces, as well as under floor heating.

Concertina doors lead to an attractive South facing patio garden. There is a separate WC located off the hallway.

On the first floor the stunning master bedroom benefits from a smart en suite bathroom and a separate dressing area (again boasting more quality bespoke joinery). There is also a double bedroom with an ensuite shower room on this floor. Two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom can be found on the second floor. A cellar provides good storage which also has the potential for conversion subject to the usual consents.

This beautiful property is positioned on Wakehurst Road between Leathwaite Road and Webbs Road with the amenities of Northcote Road close by. The house is extremely well located for a number of good state and private schools, subject to catchment each year. In particular, Belleville School, which is approximately 80 metres from the front door (according to Free Map Tools website). Transport can be found at Clapham Junction which is approximately a 10 minute walk. The open spaces of Wandsworth and Clapham Common are also within easy walking distance.

Dating back to the 17th century, a Grade II listed former vicarage in Gargrave, North Yorkshire, is set on the quiet side of the river next to St Andrew’s Church.

This impressive family home on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park offers five bedrooms including a teenage suite on the second floor. The property features a reception hall, drawing room, dining room, living room, kitchen, breakfast room and three bath or shower rooms.

walled gardens laid mainly to lawn. Grounds also contain a summerhouse and pond area together with an enclosed paddock.

A coach house, recently converted by the current owners to provide extra space for a dependant relative, could serve as a short-term or holiday let. The building is currently plastered out, waiting for your choice of kitchen and bathrooms to be installed.

2014 – The year so far “We experienced the most positive start to a year for a very long time with confidence returning and a record number of sales being concluded.

The early months saw a very healthy level of new instructions, many of which have been sold at or very close to asking prices.

The spring market continued in the same vein and although general activity has quietened somewhat of late, there are still many positive buyers looking to secure houses before the autumn, but have become frustrated by the lack of fresh properties coming to the market. A number of these buyers originate from London, where the market has been so incredibly strong.

So if you are contemplating a sale, this summer may be the best time to make your move.”

REVIEW

Lettings Lowdown Three two-bedroom executive apartments will soon be available to rent in St Peters Place, an exclusive Crest Nicholson development on one of west London’s most prestigious garden squares. The apartments were bought as an investment for the landlords’ teenage children, and will be let out in the interim.

The development is located at the entrance to St Peters Square, which was laid out during the economic boom of the 1820s, surrounding a Grade II listed public garden.

Pevsner’s famous Architectural Guide notes: “The square has the flavour of a suburban Belgravia”, yet it offers greater space and lower prices than in prime central London.

In keeping with the area’s history, the interiors of the apartments have been designed to capture traditional and classic Georgian elegance, with all details finished to the highest specification. The tenants will be the first to live in these properties,

scheduled for completion by the end of July 2014.

Charlotte Alexander (pictured), head of Savills Chiswick and Brook Green Lettings, said: “St Peters Place is one of the most significant developments in Stamford Brook for a decade. This is a fantastic opportunity for tenants to secure outstanding newbuild living space in a beautiful and well-established location.”

The area is well connected with Stamford Brook tube station offering good links to central London and the City via the District line, while the nearby A4 and M4 create an easy route out of London to Heathrow and the West Country.
