...sales manager

Q

Once you have found the perfect property, you then need to decide how to bid for it. Do you put in a high offer to clinch it, and risk wasting money? Or a low offer and risk losing your dream home?

Jacksons win triple gold

Stephanie Mant, associate partner for Cluttons Clapham & Battersea, replies ...

A

Making an offer is a personal decision based largely on what you can realistically afford. Start by looking at the wider picture – if interest rates rise will you be able to afford your monthly repayments, for example?

What is your present situation – are you desperate to move as you have found a buyer for your current home, or have you just started your search and are in no rush to move straight away?

As a reliable agent, we will always provide buyers with as much information as possible about the property. We can never disclose what offers have been made but we can guide you as much as possible on what the sellers expectations and situation are.

I often provide reports on properties that include comparables of properties we have sold or are currently on the market, as well as the uplift in the area over the last 18 months. It just helps make a really informed decision.

The best properties priced correctly will always sell. So in order to secure your dream property and stand out from other interested parties, I would advise that you always pay the highest value you are comfortable with. In the current market you will find that many buyers stretch themselves to the top of their budget and then carry out cosmetic work later on down the line. It is important to factor in extra costs on refurbishment, or extensive building work such as a loft conversion or side return.

Be smart, but not too smart. One thing that can really upset vendors is when a buyer makes a silly low offer when they can afford to pay the asking price. At the end of the day, vendors want serious buyers who love their property. Foolish offers can look like buyers are messing around and can be detrimental to a buyer’s profile.

High or low, trust your agent and work with your financial advisor on making the best possible offer for your dream home.

marketview Londoners on two wheels want homes close to Boris bike stands or with good cycle storage, finds Cheryl Markosky

C

ycling is becoming more popular in the capital, from mums nipping quietly down to the shops on their pink Pashleys, to serious, Lycra-clad commuters pedalling away on thousand-pound machines.

With cycle-mania on the up, Tim Phillips from Chestertons Battersea believes that homes with secure storage are often favoured over those where there isn’t somewhere to safely lock up your bike.

“The Olympics really brought cycling to the nation’s heart, so many people cycle to work and recreationally now. This means house-hunters want somewhere appropriate to park their bikes, many of which cost a great deal of money,” he suggests.

New developments often come with larger lifts, so people can take bicycles up to their flats, observes property finder James Watts from Prime Purchase.

“We’ve also seen an increasing number of buyers looking for secure bike rooms when deciding on a new scheme, as they don’t want always want their bikes cluttering up their living rooms. With cycling becoming more popular, developers ignore cyclists’ needs at their peril.”

Investors should take note that Boris bikes transform urban backwaters into rental hotspots, says Marc von Grundherr from Benham & Reeves Residential Lettings.

“Thanks to the expansion of the Barclays Cycle Hire scheme, former London backwaters are now becoming sought-after areas for top tenants. Once located miles from public transport hubs, tenants dismissed swathes of London reliant on the tube or train. Boris bikes now mean the journey to the tube is a mere five-minute ride rather than a half-hour walk,” he explains.

Nicholas Ayre of buying agency Home Fusion concurs that a Boris bike docking station near a property does increase its value.

He points out that it’s trickier neatly fitting bicycles into a period conversion south of the river, “where the space isn’t in-built, but an outside garage or space which can be locked will greatly appeal to cyclists.”

Developers, sellers of private home and investors, please take note. Bike stands, sheds and even rooms specially constructed to store bicycles are becoming as important as underfloor heating, Siemens appliances and smart wooden flooring.

“Many new developments are already welcoming the cycling community, and local councils often ask for cycle storage to be part of the scheme. Bicycle usage is on the up, so storage will become even more valuable in the future,” adds Phillips.

village vibe Stephanie Mant, sales manager of Cluttons Clapham & Battersea, takes South on a guided tour of Northcote Road ATTRACTIONS Northcote Road must be one of the most appealing areas to live in south-west London. It’s renowned for its quintessential English village life, which is why it attracts families as well as newly married couples looking to start a family.

It offers Happy Faces – a famous children’s hair salon – multiple playgrounds dotted around the commons, and the best schools in the area. Young professionals are also drawn here due to easy access to the City and the vibrant night scene, especially at the weekend.

SHOPS Shopping on the Northcote Road has dramatically changed in the last few years. High-end boutiques such as Question Air, Space NK and LK Bennett have all opened and the real benefit of living here is that you no longer have to travel into central London to buy these favoured items.

TOP STREETS The finest streets include Spencer Road and Elsynge Road – both of which were constructed around 1851 for the Great Exhibition – and every house is different. The grid-like design of streets around Northcote Road means you are a short walk from the main shopping street and Clapham Junction station. St John’s Hill is another favoured street.

RESTAURANTS AND PUBS Start the day by visiting Brew Cafe or Ben’s Canteen followed by either a light lunch at Al Gusto or a sandwich from Gail’s (pictured). For dinner, you are spoilt for cuisine choice – there’s the local Italian Numero Uno or The Bolingbroke. Cote Brasserie is also opening soon. Those with a sweet tooth can visit Aux Merveilleux de Fred: there’s only one other branch in South Kensington and a number in Paris – it’s such a privilege to have one on our doorstep.

LEISURE A huge variety of leisure pursuits include British Military Fitness, running routes through the various commons, as well as a selection of gyms.

SCHOOLS Education is one of the area’s highlights. The primary schools are highly praised including Belleville and Honeywell –voted the best state primary school by Tatler magazine. For teenagers, there is also the new secondary school, Bolingbroke Academy.

TRANSPORT The area is served by extensive bus links from Sloane Square to Brixton.

London Waterloo and Victoria can be reached in just over five minutes, and there are also fast trains to the countryside and seaside.

the word Special report by Mayow Short, head of Savills Battersea

T

he property market in Battersea has increased dramatically over the past few years, with a record average price increase of 111 per cent from 2009 to 2014.

There have been a number of reasons for this dramatic ascent starting with the impressive redevelopment of Nine Elms, including Battersea Power Station and Embassy Gardens, which have raised the area’s profile as a place for outstanding investment opportunity.

The extension of the Northern line includes two new tube stations that will provide a link running directly to the City, enhancing Battersea’s transport connections.

Certainly, as we predicted, there has been less of an increase this year, which has allowed buyers to make a decision on moving sensibly without fear of a seeing a dramatic increase on their purchase over night In addition, the introduction of the American Embassy and the creation of grand new boulevards providing contemporary homes, offices and shops as well as a cinema, gym and spa mean Battersea is set to become a thriving cultural and business centre in its own right.

The American Embassy move has encouraged other Embassies to follow suit, offering great employment opportunities. Although the buzz around Nine Elms is already well under way, the entire refurbishment of the area is not expected to be completed until 2019 Battersea Park has always been popular with buyers, both in the UK and internationally,

offering beautiful open space in central London.

Many buyers are moving from areas north of the river such as Chelsea, Belgravia, Knightsbridge and Pimlico. Many are international buyers who have previously been renting and are now looking to get into the London market.

Battersea is a favourite for families, which when you combine the park with some outstanding schools, such as Newton Prep and Thomas’s, make it a perfect location for those with children.

Types of property on offer range from pretty Victorian houses and handsome late-Victorian and Edwardian mansion blocks, to the striking modern architecture of big apartment buildings on the river.

Current demand for family homes is high, particularly for properties under £2m. An office favourite that has just come on the market is Whistlers Avenue with a guide price of £1,595,000. This well presented five-bedroom modern townhouse has two parking spaces and is situated within a secure gated development close to the river.

At a higher price point, we have a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial family home on Beachmore Road with a guide price of £3.1m. The house is ideally located, south of Battersea Park, and offers off-street parking, five bedrooms and a basement swimming pool.

Couples and young professionals can also

benefit from the high levels of stock we’re experiencing, with some fantastic apartments on offer. A stunning two-bedroom, split-level property on Battersea Park Road is ideally situated for the excellent recreational facilities at Battersea Park and has been recently refurbished to a high standard. It is on the market with a guide price of £695,000 and even has a lovely secluded garden.

Savills will be opening a second office in Battersea later this year, combining our sales and lettings teams together with new homes and waterfront departments.

Where is it? A fantastic riverside location with a private terrace at the front. It’s a great way to enjoy the river views and fresh air.

What’s it like? It’s one of my favourite restaurants as it captures the village feel of French cafes, and offers fresh seasonal food with a great atmosphere and an informal setting.

And the food? Perfect French classics including mussels and incredible steaks. The seasonal menu changes daily and I love the variety of the ‘plat du jour’ with the essential glass of French wine. Wonderful!

heads-up

Keeping you informed about property news and events in your area Luxury portfolio Some of the world’s most prestigious homes are due to go on display at this year’s Luxury Property Show at the exclusive Hurlingham Club in Fulham on November 4 and 5.

A portfolio of luxury homes from ski chalets and Caribbean villas to Surrey mansions and beach-view properties will be on show, together with a full schedule of events and seminars.

TV property presenter Melissa Porter will host a VIP reception at the event, now organised by David Hall Publishing. Visitors are expected to include brokers, agents, intermediaries and high-net-worth individuals. More details on theluxurypropertyshow.com.

For Nicko and Emily More than 125 cyclists pedalled from Cornwall to London on the Milligan Charitable Bike Ride to help raise more than £415,000 for two charities: the Royal National Lifeboat Institution and Child Bereavement UK. Staged in partnership with Sky Media and sponsored by Savills, the three-day ride was in memory of Nicko and Emily Milligan, who both died in a tragic family boat accident in Cornwall in May last year.

Robin Chatwin, head of Savills South West London and one of the riders, said: “This was a unique and incredible experience for us all and pushed most of us out of our comfort zones given the size and number of hills in Cornwall and the 130 miles we had to ride on the second day.

“There was an incredible feeling between all the riders bonding together to ensure everyone completed the journey.

We can now all look back proudly having made many new friendships and completed the journey while creating a legacy in memory of Nicko and Emily.”

Robin is pictured with his wife Jo (centre) and Poppy Chenevix-Trench, Sales Negotiator for Savills Waterfront team.

Country acquisition Hamptons International has acquired the entire Country Lettings and Property Management business from Humberts. The deal involves 800 units, with 300 of these managed across a number of regions including Sussex, Wiltshire, Somerset and Kent.

The acquisition forms a key part of the Hamptons strategic plan to expand its UK network, and follows the recent buyout of Preston Bennett of north London and Humphreys Skitt & Co of south-east London.

Street party This year’s Ritherdon Road Street Party in Balham raised almost £885 for First Touch, the charity that supports sick and premature babies at St George’s Hospital.

The highly successful community event was hosted by the road’s traders and sponsored by Jackson Estate Agents.

Blooming marvellous service Estate agency Chewton Rose is celebrating the unveiling of its namesake rose at Hampton Court Flower Show.

Kim Dewing (pictured), Chewton Rose head of Marketing, said: “Occasionally competitors give clients a bouquet of flowers to welcome them to their new homes, but I’m not aware of any agents who have a rose exclusively bred and named for them.

“We want all our clients to plant the rose in their new gardens, enjoy it, and we hope it will serve as a reminder of the great service we have provided.”

Three of the best Foxtons scored three victories at the recent Lettings Agency of the Year Awards: gold for Best Large Lettings Agency in the UK, and silver for both Best Website and Best Customer Service.

In association with The Sunday Times and The Times, the prestigious awards were presented at the Lancaster London Hotel. The judges’ report stated: “What the judges found refreshing was the entire workforce is focused on making sure they do the little things well, remembering small details about clients to personalise their service.”

Pictured at the Gold Award presentation are, from left, celebrity host Katie Piper; Matthew Finch, Foxtons operations director and head of Tenancy and Accounts; Ed Phillips, lettings director; and the award sponsor.

Could the property drought go into reverse as appraisals rise?

Robin Chatwin, head of Savills South West London A rise in appraisals is a positive indicator for vendors’ opinion of the market, but we don’t expect to see a dramatic rise in properties for sale. In South West London there is already a good amount of stock available, giving buyers plenty to choose from.

Price growth in the area has levelled off but selling is still an attractive option for vendors looking to make the most of the price gap between the capital and the rest of the country. With election year looming, it is also advisable for those looking to make a move to do so now, as there may be a slowdown in the run-up to the New Year.

Marc Wiehe, director of Winkworth Streatham

Olive wins the day Olive the English Bull Terrier, a regular in the office at Savills Putney, won Best Pedigree when her owner Caroline Bell took her along to the recent Battersea Dog Day. Caroline is a director at Savills Putney, which sponsored one of the award classes (A Bit of Ruff), and was delighted with Olive’s win. Caroline and Olive, nine, are pictured at the show with Oscar and Henry, sons of Putney office associate director Matthew Heard.

The market is seeing an increase in the level of instructions and buyer levels have stabilised. This means the large momentum in price increases witnessed in the first six months of the year will no longer be sustainable. A period of consolidation is under way.

Well-presented properties remain in strong demand and continue to command excellent prices. This applies to all sizes and locations. Any properties that are compromised or require a lot of work (without an attractive price to reflect this) are taking much longer to sell. The message to vendors is to work to improve presentation and take a more realistic view on pricing to achieve the best results.

Magical garden S

pectacularly 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

Y

ou’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.

To gain more internal and outside storage space (for Pulak’s equipment), he’s moving three doors down to a bigger house with a garage on the side. “Of course, there’s plenty of work to do,” he says.

“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.”

Do you really think that all estate agents are the same?

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!

At Sheraton Law we get great results, and have done so for over the 30 years that we have been dealing with properties around Clapham, Battersea, Balham and Brixton.

We really do believe in courtesy and integrity coupled with a tailored personal service; so why not choose a truly local agent who is caring and passionate about what they do but doesn’t have an expensive commission fuelled corporate culture.

Chinese investors target London Market update from Sally Wang of Sina Property UK, a onestop platform for UK property developers and agents to reach Chinese property buyers

W

hen interviewed by leading media guru and talk show hostess Lan Yang, David Cameron said: “China is industrialising 10 times faster than Britain, when we went through our industrial revolution, and 100 times the scale . . . The Chinese middle class will exceed 600 million soon, larger than the European Union single market.”

With the clear focus on improving Chinese and UK business co-operations, the past year has seen frequent activities between the leaders of the two countries. David Cameron, Boris Johnson and their business team visited China last year. In June 2014, Chinese Prime Minister Ke Qiang Li returned the favour. Deals worth billions of pounds have been signed, great events have been organised, and a new wave of Chinese immigrations, companies and property buyers are on their way to UK. In 2013, ABP signed a £1 billion deal to take on Royal Albert Dock near City Airport; in June, WanDa group invested £700 million in Resi Development at One Nine Elms; July, Ping An Group spent £260 million buying up Lloyds building; October, ZhongRong Holding Group injected £500 million for Crystal Palace project; Mr Jia Chun Zheng invested £3 billion to develop Greenwich Peninsula.

So far in 2014, China Investment Corp has invested £780 million in Chiswick Park; GreenLand spent £600 million each on the Ram Brewery site in Wandsworth Council and Hersmere; last month, China Life Insurance bought 10 Upper Bank Street for £795 million; the same month, China Construction Bank bought 111 Old Broad Street for £110 million.

UK Minister for Trade and Investment, Lord Livingston, said at a recent function: “The amount Chinese have invested in UK in the past 18 months has exceeded the total amount for the past 30 years.” The property industry definitely plays a great role in this historic era.

We have seen more and more Chinese property buyers in the UK in recent years, and more are on the way due to a combination of factors and reasons. How to meet their demands, how to provide them with the most up-to-date and real-time UK property information and listings – this has become our mission.

As one of the biggest internet companies in China (number 4 in China and 14 globally), we at SINA are creating a unique platform to bridge the two markets.

New homes update Look to London’s suburbs for impressive price growth, says Anouar Elkhadraoui, head of Sales and Marketing at Newcourt Residential

T

hose looking for the next investment hotspot no longer need to deal with the stress of the frenetic central London market, where sealed bids and contract races are becoming ever prevalent.

Skyrocketing prices and a distinct lack of stock have driven the market to an unsustainable point, and many savvy buyers are now finding themselves tempted by commuter locations on the fringe of the city.

Many developers are meeting this rising demand by looking beyond London, with new sites springing up in key areas such as Surrey, Kent and Hertfordshire. Among these is Graburn Place, an exclusive new development of four individually designed five-bedroom detached homes in Hampton Court Village, East Molesey.

With Hampton Court station offering a commute of 35 minutes into central London, the homes offer the perfect compromise for those looking for a village-like setting while still enjoying convenient links to the capital.

Hampton Court Village is one of the most affluent areas in the UK and at Newcourt Residential, knowing

our target market, we strove to provide exceptional quality and bespoke finishes.

The houses have been built with family life in mind, including open plan spaces, private gardens and spacious master bedroom suites, all incorporating modern interiors. The properties have been very wellreceived with a variety of buyers, resulting in two of the homes being sold prior to completion.

It is undeniable that the suburbs are performing well: London suburbs have increased in price at the fastest rate in four years, outpacing value growth in central London, according to Savills residential research.

East Molesey itself saw price increases of 6.83 per cent in the past year, and 2014 is supposedly the year when the gap between prime central London and the prime suburbs finally begins to narrow.

Embassy of design B

allymore Group is working with Spanish interior designer Luis Bustamante on its prestigious Embassy Gardens development in Nine Elms on the South Bank.

Working closely with the architects, the teams at the Design Cube by Ballymore and Bustamante’s studio have collaborated to design the striking front of house and shared areas of the development to create a sense of place for the first residents, due to move in early next year.

Embassy Gardens will be a landmark riverside neighbourhood next to the new US Embassy and at the heart of the new Linear Park.

Bustamante has selected artwork to bring vitality to vast spaces through

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

Property prices keep on rising

he 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

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

Mark Harris SPF Private Clients

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-than-expected rise in interest rates – is still a risk.”

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.

FIXED CHOICE 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.

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.

southside As seen by Jonathan Dyson, area sales director for Hamptons Battersea and Wandsworth A brilliant time to buy Well, what a year 2014 has been so far in the world of property. The first quarter showed some spectacular results on the back of an already brisk 2013, but then almost on the day of the change into quarter two, the market did a complete aboutturn as more stock came to the market and buyer numbers faded. So as we now stand at the halfway point of the year, where do we predict things will go from here?

The number of available properties is definitely up and in general they’re at more competitive prices than previously. We are seeing buyer resistance to paying ‘top of the market’ prices, but as those prices have reduced, we have seen buyers returning to the market to sniff out a bargain from sellers who, with their onward moves in place, are prepared to take a chip on the price to keep their chain alive.

These deals, however, are becoming fewer and fewer as new sellers coming to the market have reset their timescale expectations and will wait patiently to find a buyer at the price they require. If they don’t get a buyer at that level, they will simply stay put and re-market later on in the year or even next spring.

After all, most of our sellers are perfectly happy in their current homes and are usually just looking for a bit more space. Remember that even in the downturn, we never really had any ‘forced’ sales and that is certainly still the case now.

So our advice is pretty clear: if you’re selling, then be realistic with your price and accept that it may take a while to sell. If you’re buying, then this is a pretty brilliant time to do so – there’s much more choice of properties and prices are back to where they were at the start of the year.

But be warned that prices are unlikely to dip any further so lock in a decent fixed rate and get out there viewing before you get left behind.

Peace and quiet at Olympic venue Recently renovated and updated in keeping with its period charm, Marney Lodge is a double-fronted Victorian property set in a quiet gated mews in Wandsworth.

Its grand entrance hallway leads to a choice of reception rooms for family living, entertaining or relaxing, and high ceilings throughout give the property space and a certain grandeur.

On the first floor are two en suite bedrooms and there’s a bright guest suite on the top floor. To the bottom of the house is a large kitchen and reception, with another en suite bedroom or study opposite with its own

private patio. The main rooms overlook a superb 60ft by 40ft south-facing garden.

Set back from any roads, this property in a tranquil location includes a secure underground car parking space, as well as a separate studio that would make an ideal gym, office or small flat. Wandsworth Town railway station is a short walk away and buses run regularly along East Hill.

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

S

tanding 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.

Specialising in the sale and letting of high calibre residential property primarily within Wimbledon, Coombe and the surrounding areas.

Impressive family house A

n 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.

Military gatehouse Standing alone in an open setting on Woolwich Common and Barrack Field, a large detached house on Repository Road once served as the residence of the Royal Artillery commandant.

This unique Georgian military gatehouse, which dates back to 1806, has no live-in neighbours and offers more than 3500 sq ft of living space, set in mature and secluded gardens. There are three receptions rooms, a large kitchen diner, three bathrooms and off-street parking.

Woolwich Common originally covered an extensive area and was used by the military from the late 18th century. The Board of Ordnance enclosed part of the common in 1802 and it remains largely owned by the Ministry of Defence.

Building work on the Royal Artillery Barracks began in 1776 and the regiment, complete with their commandant, moved here in 1806. Barrack Field was a setting for the Military Repository, mortar battery and observatory. The Rotunda moved from St James’s Park in 1819 and became a military museum.

country view Special report by Mark Taylor, residential negotiator for Savills Haywards Heath

A

s we enter the summer holiday period, now is a good time to reflect on how the Sussex market has performed during the first six months before looking ahead to the second half of the year.

It has become apparent the market has been rather more buoyant in certain price ranges than others. The most active price bracket has been sub £1m, and while the market for properties priced between £1m and £2m has also been strong, the market from £2m to £3m has been much weaker before picking up again above £3m.

The weakness of the £2m to £3m market is down to a toxic combination of the increased stamp duty threshold above £2m and speculation about a mansion tax after the General Election next year.

According to recent Savills analysis, house prices in the UK’s prime regional markets are continuing to rise slowly and steadily, recording annual price growth for a fourth successive quarter. The UK prime market average rose by 5.7 per cent in the year to the end of June and 3.1 per cent in the first six months of 2014.

Though less than the growth seen in the first quarter, second quarter growth averaged 1.1 per cent in line with prime London, where the rate of price rises has slowed suggesting that the gap between the two markets may have peaked.

There is now clear evidence that the recovery is taking hold across the UK more widely, with a return to former 2007 peak values still a useful benchmark of that recovery.

London-based buyers looking to move out to Sussex have been somewhat thin on the ground.

Many riding the boom in London have been reluctant to sell in a rapidly rising market, but it appears this market is now beginning to level off.

We believe such buyers, who traditionally are the mainstay of the higher end country house market, have merely delayed making the move.

With London prices no longer rising so rapidly, many will recognise the gulf in the price differential between London and Sussex – and try to benefit by making the move to Sussex. We have certainly noticed an increase in enquiries from Londonbased buyers in recent weeks.

country vibe Mark Taylor of Savills Haywards Heath takes South on a guided tour of Lindfield ATTRACTIONS In the heart of MidSussex, Lindfield is a popular and lively village on the edge of the commuter hub of Haywards Heath. The village is in the High Weald, an area of outstanding natural beauty.

Dating back to 1098, the village’s ancient High Street is lined with the lime trees after which the village is named: Lindfield meaning ‘open land with lime trees’. Nikolaus Pevsner described the High Street as the ‘finest village street in Sussex’ and today it has more than 40 medieval and post-medieval timber-framed houses, as well as many beautifully proportioned Victorian properties.

At the south of the High Street is a picturesque natural spring-fed pond with fish, ducks, swans and herons, surrounded by some of the most stunning properties in the village.

Beyond lies the Common, which over the centuries has witnessed many fairs, festivals, bonfire celebrations and sporting activities. Today it is still central to village celebrations and leisure activities.

SHOPS AND SERVICES Lindfield has an excellent selection of independent shops including award-winning organic butcher Glyn Thomas & Son, Sussex Wine Cellars, Field and Forest Delicatessen, Humphrey’s Bakery, a bookshop, various boutiques, barbers, hairdressers, GP surgery and several pubs, bistros and coffee shops.

RESTAURANTS AND PUBS There are quite a few but the ones that spring to mind are The Bent Arms, The Red Lion, The Witch Inn, The Stand Up Inn, Limes of Lindfield and Paolino Italian Restaurant – all in Lindfield.

LEISURE AMENITIES Cricket has been played on the common since 1747 and Lindfield has a thriving cricket club, football club and tennis club. King Edward Hall is the venue for the local drama society and the weekly country market. Lindfield also offers Blackthorns Choir, church groups and other choirs.

SCHOOLS Lindfield has both soughtafter state schools and many excellent private schools within easy reach.

They include Blackthorns Primary, Lindfield Primary, Oathall Community College, Tavistock & Summerhill, Great Walstead, Cumnor House and Ardlingly College. There are also a number of well-regarded pre-schools and nurseries.

TRANSPORT Lindfield is 1.5 miles from Haywards Heath station, which has regular mainline services to Brighton (journey time from 17 minutes), London Bridge and London Victoria (from 42 minutes). The A23 is close and connects to the coast and the national motorway network. Gatwick Airport is 14 miles away.

TOP RESIDENTIAL STREETS These are the High Street, Compton Road, Dukes Road, Little Black Hill, Birchen Lane and Roundwood Lane. There are also many superb country houses tucked away in the lanes surrounding Lindfield.

lettings lowdown Special report by Emily O’Garra, head of Savills Richmond Lettings

T

he lettings market in Richmond was one of the star performers in London last year, rising by 3.1 per cent in comparison to a dip in average values in prime central London. The forecast for the future is also looking positive, with a 20.4 per cent rise in average values predicted by 2018.

For landlords, this emphasises the good investment and capital growth that property can offer in Richmond. Despite a very active sales market in south-west London, landlords in Richmond are holding onto their assets as they take a long term view on the return from their investment.

International tenants are active across all price bands, while UK tenants continue to dominate the market. Western Europeans and North Americans follow closely behind, attracted to the area’s great history and high quality property stock. Accordingly, 55 per cent of tenants are renting in the area

due to relocation, with a further 14 per cent relocating with their employer.

The combination of green open space, great schools and the convenience of remaining in close proximity to the centre and City makes Richmond an ideal destination both for families and young professionals. There are also plenty of properties to choose from in Richmond, from grand homes with sprawling gardens that wouldn’t look out of place in the country, to two-bedroom apartments flats on the river.

We’re currently experiencing a revitalised lettings market, with strong demand for family homes and good core market stock becoming available in July and August. Enquiries for four-bed properties topped the charts last month, followed by interest for one and twobed apartments. Stock levels and the number of serious applicants both increased ahead of summer, enabling us to achieve 98 per cent of asking price for all move-ins so far this year.

Tenants are keen to secure properties, offering at asking price to minimise the chance of competition. Some savvy applicants are

looking as far ahead as September in a bid to beat the market and to be the first to know about upcoming availability.

At present we have two rarely available properties on the market, both offering tenants exceptional benefits. The first is Bishops Gate Lodge, set within Royal Parks grounds, offering an amazing location with enviable views across 2360 acres of open parkland.

With five bedrooms, it would be well suited to a small family in search of a unique home.

Meanwhile, St Georges Road is one of very few properties fortunate enough to have keys to one of the three Pleasure Gardens, part of St Margaret’s Trust Grounds.

the last word Jonathan Loney, head of Sales at John D Wood & Co Southfields, answers South’s questions

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

After leaving university, I started my career in Guildford with a large and well-known chain.

Over the last 18 years I have worked my way along the A3 corridor, growing in experience working in a wide range of differing markets.

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

Southfields has always provided the great balance of being within reach of central London while providing the community feel of a village location. Being the first agent to sell a house on the ‘Grid’ for £1m in 2013 has to be my highlight so far.

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

Look for a well-established company with a strong reputation for honesty and integrity.

Make sure they have a sound in-house training programme and look for a company with low staff turnover – always a solid sign.

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

Although there is currently more property stock than at the beginning of the year, good properties are always in high demand. Don’t wait too long to offer on your ideal home, waiting for what tomorrow may bring, as unfortunately you may regret it.

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

There is a lot of speculation as to when interest rates may rise and the effects the new mortgage regulations will have on the market. However, there will always be a shortage of property stock in prime areas and family markets will always need to move. I anticipate a solid and steady housing market in Southfields over the next two years.

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

I would abolish Stamp Duty Land Tax. Unrealistic as I am sure that is, I certainly would be popular.

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

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

The housing market is always changing and it is important that we, as agents, are constantly looking at the best way to advise our clients.

Knowing your clients’ plans and offering honest advice has always been key.

You would be hard pushed to overlook Southfields: great shops, schools, District Line underground, and access to Wimbledon Park and the All England Tennis Club.

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

We have always had a more stable housing market in the south of London with buyers and sellers looking to move for schools, extra space or garden size rather than fashion.

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

I’d be a landscape gardener. I’ve always wanted to work outside and gardening is something I have always enjoyed.

Wimbledon Park Road, London, SW18 An imposing semi-detached Victorian House in this popular West Hill location offering extensive family accommodation including a separate two bedroom flat and a garage. The landscaped southerly facing rear garden includes an attractive garden room and outside entertainment area which includes a sunken hot tub and outdoor fireplace.
