...lettings manager

Q

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

Will Brindley, lettings manager at Kinleigh Folkard & Hayward’s Balham branch, replies ...

Jacksons win triple gold

A

The three most important aspects for any property managing agent to fulfil are to ensure there is a dedicated point of contact available for landlords at all times, that you can offer expert advice on rental laws and new legislation as it changes, and finally that you have access to approved suppliers should the need for a plumber, electrician or similar arise at short notice.

At KFH, we run our property management division on a portfolio basis, which ensures that our clients always have a dedicated property manager looking after their property throughout the letting period. We work with a high number of overseas clients or landlords who find they don’t have the time to deal with the day-to-day running of their property, so our ability to tailor our service accordingly, being mindful of our clients’ schedules and potential time zone restrictions, is something many clients appreciate.

With the ever-changing regulations surrounding lettings and management, it’s important that any agent continually evolves their practices to ensure they are abreast of new developments. In addition, our internal support network which offers access to well respected experts who have been in the industry for many years means that our clients’ obligations are upheld at every stage.

Letting a home can involve some complicated processes, from dealing with the initial groundwork for a new tenancy to routine inspections and deposit negotiations. A lot of the time, managing a property involves advisory communications between a client and a tenant, so having a middleman to manage the process in a rational and unemotional way, according to the law, is a key reason why many choose to appoint a managing agent instead of doing it themselves. kfh.co.uk | 020 8675 3639

marketview Flexible living means flexible homes, reports Cheryl Markosky

A

fifth of parents who moved house over the past few months wanted a bigger home because they were expecting their children to stay with them until their late 20s, says a new Royal Mail survey.

Offspring remaining at home, grannies moving in and grandchildren needing space to stay are only some of the factors leading to a more adaptable approach when it comes to how we use our property.

Patrick Rampton from Rampton Baseley recalls advising one homeowner to add value and accommodate his stay-at-home family by creating a two-bedroom flat in the basement. “He resided there with his wife, while the kids lived upstairs.” When it comes time to sell, Rampton says, the property can be sold as one lot, or as two separate entities.

Another idea of Rampton’s is to chop the loft extension into two bedrooms. “It’s cheap to do a stud wall and you can put up two of your children, as long as they don’t mind sharing a bathroom. Just make sure it’s easily reversible in case you, or the next owner, want a different arrangement at some point.”

Selling the family home to be able to purchase two smaller places – one for the parents and the other for the child – is common, points out Caroline Bell of Savills Putney.

Upsizing to a larger house “that’s big enough so you can dedicate a section of it to a child who wants independence” is another suggestion from Bell. She also had a client who installed a studio in the garden for her daughter. “Secondary accommodation is very prized these days – if you have a second house in the garden, so much the better.”

Becky Munday at Gareth James is also witnessing more permanent structures that need planning permission being erected for older children, such as summerhouses or cabins in the garden. “Often, the offspring have to pass through the house to get to their outdoor bolthole, but once they’re out there they’re usually self-contained.”

She notes too that the numbers of loft conversions in South East London are on the up, as people are releasing new equity in their homes to ‘go up’.

“Many of our vendors are downsizing out of London and buying smaller places, such as a one or twobedroom flat in London for their children. This way they keep a hand in the London property market, albeit on a smaller scale,” adds Munday.

village vibe Rupert Greig, sales manager of Foxtons Earlsfield, takes South on a guided tour of his territory ATTRACTIONS Families are well catered for in Earlsfield, with the award-winning It’s a Kid’s Thing playground providing a fantastic option for entertaining the little ones at the weekend. Wimbledon Stadium also offers an interesting contrast from greyhound racing on Friday and Saturday nights to the car racing Demolition Derby every other Sunday.

prices have risen over the past 18 months, Earlsfield still offers great value for money compared with its surrounding and more expensive neighbours.

SHOPS Garratt Lane is the changing face of Earlsfield, as new shops and restaurants are opening up all the time. Whether you are looking for beautiful antiques, delicious deli treats or a special last-minute present, there’s plenty to choose from. The Southside shopping centre, which features a cinema and huge range of shops, is also an excellent destination for young and old.

RESTAURANTS AND PUBS Earlsfield inhabitants are spoilt for choice on where to eat out. A few of my favourites include Roxie’s steak house, which serves incredible meat dishes at a fraction of the cost of the larger chains, as well as Marina, which does the best fish and chips this side of the Norfolk coast.

On top of that, the Earlsfield Deli, Mel’s, Nazmins, Amaranth and Kah Chi make sure there is always something delicious to suit everyone’s tastes. Not forgetting the fantastic Leather Bottle pub, which has served beer to the residents of Earlsfield for over 300 years. Its huge beer garden makes this a favourite destination in the summer.

TOP STREETS Largely untouched during the Second World War, the architecture in Earlsfield is primarily Victorian and Edwardian. Properties vary from generous four and five-bedroom terraced houses on sought-after Littleton and Waynflete Streets, to the attractive maisonettes on Swaby Road and Quinton Street. While

LEISURE Avoiding wayward balls at the Central London Golf Centre on Burntwood Lane makes for a great day out.

Alternatively, there’s often rugby going on at weekends on Garratt Green. For those who like to enjoy a more relaxed form of sport, the peaceful River Wandle provides the opportunity to try to land an elusive trout.

celebritywatch Hadleigh House in Windsor is a six to seven-bedroom Grade II* listed property currently owned by award-winning New York-born composer Carl Davis and his actress wife, Jean Boht, of BBC TV sitcom Bread fame.

Now for sale at a guide price of £3.5m, the house in Sheet Street was built in 1793 by a future mayor of Windsor. It was later owned by a succession of royal surgeonapothecaries before being sold to the Leveson Gower family, on the late Queen Mother’s maternal side. Savills Windsor 01753 834 600.

the word Special report by Jennifer Young-Thompson, sales manager for Kinleigh Folkard & Hayward’s Southfields branch

I

have lived and worked in Southfields for many years and have never seen such a shortage of property in the market. For sellers, this is great news as this lack of stock has led to many properties achieving record sales prices. For buyers, however, competition is fierce.

Land registry records for 2013 indicate that in the sought-after ‘Grid’ area of Southfields there were fewer property completions compared to 2012. As the agent with the single largest share of the market in this area, we knew transaction levels were low, but this reinforced our thoughts.

With the average fully extended Edwardian Grid house typically selling for around £1.2m, and moving costs so high, many buyers have chosen rather to extend their current home, increasing the value and avoiding the hassle of moving.

Commuters in the area tend to travel via Earlsfield, which has direct rail links into Waterloo station, or into central London on the District Line from the Southfields tube station. We have recently been instructed on a four-bedroom

house on Revelstoke Road, near to Wimbledon Park tube station on the District Line. It has a fantastic loft conversion and is currently being marketed at £1.2m, an impressive price for property in this area as last year a similar house would have achieved around £1m. That shows a 20 per cent increase year-on-year.

Every year the area comes alive with tourists and tennis enthusiasts who visit for the Wimbledon All England Lawn Tennis Championships. The market is usually quieter at this time as many locals prefer to spend their summer breaks out of London, often renting out their family homes for lucrative sums to cover the cost.

Up the hill, off Augustus Road, the properties are a collection of modern and ex-local authority flats, which tend to sell for around £350,000 and are popular with investors and first-time buyers.

They are usually well-proportioned and low maintenance, which means they seldom stay on the market for longer than a few days.

Recently we’ve seen an increase in the number

out of town buy

of investors looking to purchase for the first time.

They often live locally and are looking to invest in a property that will earn them their retirement income. With low interest rates and good capital growth, property is an attractive option.

Some new developments in the area are also causing a stir among buyers. Launching at the end of 2015 will be a landmark development on Wimbledon Park Road where the 1917 Lyceum Cinema once stood. The scheme looks to provide both retail and residential units, offering one, two and three-bedroom apartments, and will be a welcome boost to the area, where newbuild homes are in short supply.

One of those golds was awarded for her rill garden – bought and incorporated into the grounds of Killarney, this imposing Edwardian home on the fringe of Rowledge village, Surrey. Set on a plot of 2.77 acres, the four-bedroom house has a guide price of £1.4m. Savills Farnham 01252 729000.

Where is it? The Olympic Cafe is on the ground floor of the Olympic Cinema complex, which opened last year, transforming the historic Olympic Studios. It’s ideally located in the middle of Barnes village and in good weather, sitting at the tables and chairs outside can make you feel like you are on holiday.

What is it like? It serves food all day, so at the weekend you can go for a relaxed brunch or a casual but delicious evening meal. While you dine, you can watch their pastry chefs at work, making a range of hand-baked goods.

And the food? Enjoy brunch with Eggs Benedict, a pot of tea and the Sunday papers, or in the evening try the salmon with asparagus and hollandaise sauce before or after a movie.

heads-up

Keeping you informed about property news and events in your area

Come on Andy!

There’s no place like Northcote Road, and the crowds will be gathering on Battersea’s famous shopping street on 6 July for this year’s summer fete, which again falls on the day of the Wimbledon Men’s Final.

Last year’s visitors cheered Andy Murray onto victory, and the big tennis final will be shown on the big screen once again this year. The World Cup will also be in full swing and the fete’s premium sponsor John Thorogood is staging a penalty shoot-out outside its office.

From 11am to 5pm, the event by Northcote Business Network will also feature favourite activities such as community ping pong tables, a children’s dance stage and fairground rides. The road will be closed off for local businesses and visiting traders to spill out onto the pavements.

Nine Elms partners sign the Charter

90th birthday party

Key development partners in the Nine Elms on the South Bank programme signed a Construction Charter marking their commitment to work together to deliver best practice construction management across the UK’s biggest regeneration project.

The charter provides a collaborative code of construction practice that recognises the need for major developers, together with Wandsworth and Lambeth Councils and TfL, to plan and manage the impacts of construction effectively.

Councillor Ravi Govindia, co-chair of the Nine Elms Vauxhall Partnership and leader of Wandsworth Council, said: “By setting uniform standards for developers, the Construction Charter will make Nine Elms on the South Bank a safer, cleaner and more user-friendly place during the construction programme.”

Battersea charity Katherine Low Settlement celebrated its 90th birthday in May with a lively street party for several hundred people from the local community.

Mayor of Wandsworth Cllr Angela Graham opened the event by unveiling a blue plaque in memory of Katherine Low at the High Street building where the charity is based. Ninety red balloons were then released by local children and families – the winning balloon travelled 31.3 miles to Sevenoaks.

Richmond’s Grand Prix family Eco developer Richstone Properties, owned by a Richmond family, scooped the Grand Prix trophy at the 2014 Evening Standard New Homes Awards.

Founded 18 years ago by husband and wife team David and Laura Rich-Jones, the Roehampton-based developer entered its Pembroke scheme of four luxury houses and two apartments in East Sheen and won two awards: Grand Prix for the most outstanding entry and Eco-Living for sustainability.

Winners were decided by Evening Standard readers and a panel of expert judges, and the awards were presented at a glittering ceremony at The Dorchester. Pictured on the night are, from left, host Dara O’Briain; Athena Otho-Briggs, Lindsey Eden, Laura Rich-Jones, and Vilma Volkovaite of Richstone Properties; and Winter Olympic champion Lizzie Yarnold.

As speculation mounts over the durability of the housing market recovery, has business stabilised after the upswing earlier this year?

Alex Oppenheim, manager of John D Wood & Co Battersea

Ella joins the team

Sky Ride programme Wandsworth Council has teamed up with British Cycling and Team Sky to stage a series of rides guided by trained British Cycling ride leaders.

Local cyclists will be able to enjoy organised, guided rides of varying distances and difficulties ranging from easy-going spins around picturesque parts of South London through to more challenging rides.

The next rides are on Sunday 29 June starting at the Telegraph Inn, and Sunday 27 July at Richmond Park. More information from www.wandsworth.gov.uk/ cycling.

Ella Cockerton has joined the John Thorogood team from John D Wood & Co as a senior negotiator, with 25 years of experience selling and letting properties around Wandsworth.

Ella lives locally and her appointment is designed to expand the team to handle an increasing share of the sales and lettings market between and around Clapham and Wandsworth Commons.

The agency recently completed a full re-brand, total office refurbishment, and the launch of a new mobileresponsive website.

Recent comments in the media about market stabilisation may, to some, feel like the party is over. I would say, however, that rational thinking has returned.

I wrote in the last issue of this magazine that open houses are not in vendors’ best interests.

Subsequently a number of buyers told me they no longer go to them as viewing a property with a plethora of others is not for them – very sensible and point proved!

The property market is like any other, a function of supply and demand, and with London still attracting many new residents, demand is such that the best properties in the best locations are still achieving premium prices. Battersea is no exception.

Patrick Rampton, director of Rampton Baseley Since the surge in prices of roughly 10 per cent that we saw over the first quarter of this year, prices have definitely ‘stabilised’ – to be somewhat euphemistic.

I have seen some properties that we lost out on to other agents’ ‘enthusiastic’ (euphemism) valuations come down at least £100k – that’s 6.25 per cent on a £1.6m house – and they’re still not selling. They now looked tired and unwanted goods.

The Times property section recently reported that London houses were undergoing a period of ‘price correction’ (euphemistic) and that mortgage approvals were down by a third month on month (fact). We noticed this two months before The Times reported it.

High class Clapham A

former school and one of the oldest buildings in Clapham has been transformed for the 21st century in an extensive conversion programme complete with soundproofed cinema, audio-visual cabling and security system.

A fully equipped Italian Dada stainless steel kitchen has been installed, and the meticulous makeover project also featured careful choice of materials such as limestone, marble and a combination of cherry and maple wood.

Sensational double-height windows – a reminder of the property’s school days – flood the dramatic and generous living spaces with natural light. The updated property also includes six luxurious en suite bedrooms and an adjoining one-bedroom flat for granny or nanny.

Total living space is almost 6750 sq ft on three floors plus eaves storage. The kitchen and dining room – which connects to the reception room – has folding glass doors leading out onto a secluded rear patio garden, and the property has a large utility room, wine cellar and private garage.

Macaulay Road is a quiet residential road running off Clapham Common North Side with its excellent facilities and green open spaces. There are plenty of local shops, cafes and restaurants nearby, together with Clapham Common underground station and Clapham Junction mainline station. Good bus routes will also take you northwards across the river.

Planning to renovate and extend Toast Rack house P

lanning permission has been applied for to fully develop the basement – front and rear – and add a two-storey rear extension at this eight-bedroom house next to Wandsworth Common.

The planning application is expected to be approved, which would mean the new owners would soon be able to start construction work on site to make their own mark on the property and maximise its potential for expansion and renovation.

“The plans for the new extension take into account and complement the period features of the property, working in harmony with both the location and layout of the current house,” says the current owner. “The planned basement extension will provide space for a self-contained apartment as well as a media room.”

Baskerville Road, considered one of the most soughtafter addresses in Wandsworth, forms part of the affluent area known as the Toast Rack – due to its layout. The

streets enjoy exceptional views across one of London’s most beautiful green spaces, and are walking distance from transport links to the City and local amenities.

This large family home has existing living space of more than 3130 sq ft and retains many of its original features. These include a stained-glass front door leading to a deep, wide entrance hall with original tessellated tile flooring and intricate ceiling plaster.

One of the largest in the road, a 90ft mature private garden is overlooked by a brick-paved terrace, and a secure secret gate gives direct access onto Wandsworth Common.

The five-bedroom property in Alleyn Road is close to the magnificent buildings of the highly regarded Dulwich College, the independent public school for boys originally founded in 1619 by Elizabethan actor Edward Alleyn.

Said to be in excellent condition, the detached house offers total inside living space of almost 2000 sq ft including a dining room, fully equipped kitchen, two bathrooms, utility room and guest cloakroom. It also offers off-street parking and a garage.

London-born actor Edward Alleyn was a contemporary of William Shakespeare and also acted in many of Christopher Marlowe’s plays. When he founded Dulwich College, he deposited literary documents from his career into its library, providing a unique insight into the finances of Elizabethan theatre.

Perfect for a young family Between the Commons P

icturesque and tree-lined Winsham Grove, which runs off Clapham Common West Side’s culde-sac, was uniformly developed in one year by a single builder and retains an excellent sense of community.

Historically regarded as the premium location in the area known today as Between the Commons, it contains largely unspoilt and well-maintained bayfronted Victorian houses, and fewer apartments than many of its neighbouring streets.

The area is a magnet for young families due to the nearby green spaces of Clapham and Wandsworth Commons, together with Northcote Road’s shopping parade, smart bars and restaurants, and the large choice of private and state primary schools and nurseries.

On the favoured side of Winsham Grove, sunny and 60ft south-facing gardens provide extra outdoor play space and indoor kitchen space – perfect for young families. A four-bedroom house currently for sale here

uying a wreck and bringing it back to life is a step too far for many of us. Although the idea of effectively building our own home is tempting, the time, money and energy required can be beyond our ken.

Lawyers Daisy Tatton-Brown, 31, and Oliver Bourne, 34, were lucky to discover an end-of-terrace house in Rush Hill Road, Clapham, that needed sprucing up without having to carry out the Full Monty of makeovers.

Bought three years ago through Cluttons Clapham office, Tatton-Brown says the house was liveable in, but not decked out to her taste. “It had cream carpets and was looking a bit tired,” she explains.

It was good news that the previous owner had sorted out the side return to extend the kitchen area. Also, kitchen units he’d installed were to the couple’s taste, saving a great deal of cost and stress.

But the really big selling point from Cluttons was that a whole new storey could be added to the fourbedroom home. Tatton-Brown said they were going to have to fix the leaky roof at a cost of £5000, “so we

decided to just add another floor, which would solve the leak problem and give us more space for not a great deal more money.”

Employing PlusRooms, a firm specialising in extensions and loft conversions, a mansard conversion has resulted in a generous cinema room and adjacent bathroom on the new top level.

“My husband’s keen on TV and music, so we use the media room a lot and get friends over to watch films.

Alternatively, it could be used as a fifth bedroom,” points out Tatton-Brown.

As well as extending upwards, the couple, who now have a month-old daughter named Rose, have replaced the outdated cream carpeting with smart grey wool coverings, with wooden flooring on the ground floor.

Familiar with the area, half-French Tatton-Brown wanted to remain here so Rose could attend Ecole de Wix on Clapham Common Northside. She thinks they’re in exactly the right spot – not too far from the school and right next to the Common.

Eventually, the couple will sort out the main bathroom

“The extra floor has added value to the house, and adding a bathroom gives the top level extra flexibility.”

and replace carpet with tiles in the second bathroom. “I don’t like the style but it works fine so there’s no point in doing it up yet,” notes Tatton-Brown.

“It’s been fun picking out furniture and new paint colours, and my mother-in-law’s helped with plants for the garden,” she adds.

Stephanie Mant from Cluttons says her advice to anyone taking on a project is to follow Tatton-Brown’s example: “Don’t personalize the house too much, opening it up to more people when it comes time to sell.”

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.

New homes update Special report by David Smith, Group Head of Marketing for property developer Octagon

D

oesn’t time fly when the market is good? Here we are approaching the holiday period, when supposedly half the world dons flip-flops and heads for the beach, but already the early signs are that buyers are still very much in evidence.

After the spring activity, where we – along with many of our fellow housebuilders – experienced a record number of sales, we may have reasonably expected a slower pace to set in during the height of the summer, but I think our house buyers are changing their habits in the UK, most particularly in London and the South East.

My agent friends tell me if good quality properties in the right locations are introduced to the market, buyers are never far away, whatever the season. Particularly the people without school-age children, who often choose this time to find a new home, when roads are quieter, and agents can be generous with their time.

So my advice to house-hunters is to not hold back viewings until the beginning of autumn. The right property might be sitting there in the July sunshine awaiting your discovery, and who knows, with the demand for homes

at an all-time high, you could be under offer yourself and moved by the time the conkers have hit the ground.

Octagon’s latest flagship development, Long Walk Villas (pictured) in Windsor, is a case in point, having been fully in buyers’ radar since the hoardings went up at the beginning of the year. Within the first few weeks of release, five of our nine houses there have been snapped up at prices starting from £2.75m.

Seems like this is the Year of the Townhouse. Our buyers cannot get enough of them, loving the classical exterior design combined with lashings of internal living space, plus a privileged view of the Queen’s favourite weekend haunt, Windsor Castle, and all within a short walk of the town centre.

Anyway, we all need a little break some time during the summer so I am off to sail the high seas of the Solent in training for the Little Britain Challenge Cup, the annual regatta that takes place in Cowes from 5 to 7 September. It’s a not-to-be-missed event for anyone connected to the construction and building industries.

So, fellow developers, architects and your agent guests: see you all there.

Top Totteridge I

nspired by a Victorian gentleman’s residence that once stood in the grounds, 48 Totteridge Common in N20 has been named London’s Best Luxury Home in London at the Evening Standard New Homes Awards at the Dorchester.

Totteridge is a country village with a London postcode, and only a 20-minute tube journey from Euston station. With ancient parish church, cricket club, ponds and paddocks, this conservation area is favoured by sports stars and captains of industry.

The award-winning property by developer Octagon sits in its own three-acre plot with 200 metres of frontage accessed by two separate gated entrances. It was built in Romanesque style, complete with tower.

Inside, the 15,000 sq ft of living space has been decorated and furnished by Rachel Beckett of R Interiors, designer to many media and music moguls, and features a number of fine period-style details combined with the latest 21st century comforts.

“This is one of the finest homes Octagon has ever had the privilege to design and build,” said Octagon director Richard Galland.

Balancing act

Following the introduction of new mortgage regulations in April, lenders are taking a closer look at an applicant’s income and expenditure, where regular financial commitments count against you. Reducing these will help you achieve higher borrowing levels and hopefully what you need.

At a time when higher loan-to-value products are falling in cost, perhaps using some of your deposit to eliminate debt and end up with one slightly larger but more manageable payment may be sensible.

It depends how much deposit you have, but taking a 90 per cent mortgage over an 85 per cent mortgage may be worth considering in certain circumstances.

Restrictions aim to slow down the market, reports Duncan Farmer

N

ews that the Lloyds Banking Group, which includes Halifax, Bank of Scotland and Scottish Widows Bank, has introduced restrictions on housebuyers who want to borrow £500,000 or more is an attempt to slow down the booming London property market. As the Lloyds group accounts for about a quarter of all mortgage lending in the UK, it is well placed to put a spanner – well aimed or not – into the works.

The bank is still partly owned by the taxpayer, but denies that it has come under any pressure from the Treasury, a claim some may find hard to believe, although the fact that other lenders have followed suit seems to bear this out.

Mark Carney, the governor of the Bank of England, has described rising house prices as the biggest threat to the economic recovery, although he received some good news recently when figures showed that manufacturing was growing and consumer spend and house prices were slowing, which suggests that the economy is rebalancing. The only fly in the ointment is that lending to businesses has fallen.

Restrictions of the sort introduced by Lloyds and others are unlikely to have a big impact on most buyers with an annual salary of £125,000 or more – which is what they’d need if they wanted to borrow £500,000 on Lloyds’ four times annual salary rule – as many would either go to a private bank that would take an individual

High growth abroad Although house prices in the country as a whole have increased at a rate of between eight and nine per cent over the past year – the figures vary between the Land Registry, Halifax, Nationwide and Knight Frank – growth here is nothing compared with reports from around the world.

Knight Frank found that Dubai topped the league, followed by China at 17.5 per cent, Estonia (16.2 per cent) and Turkey (13.8 per cent). In Dubai, where authorities fear a bubble, expat buyers will need a deposit of 25 per cent and domestic buyers need a minimum of 20 per cent as the government imposes a loan-to-value cap on mortgages.

The UK as a whole comes twelfth in the table, although the London market would make the top three.

view on each application or a broker who has access to all lenders.

In any event, the London market is driven by factors way beyond domestic demand. Russians may no longer be so free with their cash in the capital after sanctions introduced after the Ukraine crisis, but the Chinese, who are now seeing house prices tumble in some of their big cities – which has been followed by ‘civil unrest’ – are looking for a safer bet. In the boom times, they were restricted to buying only one apartment in new developments, so cities such as London were also attractive.

London may also be a better bet than Dubai, where property prices rose by 27.7 per cent in the past 12 months, and suggestions that the bubble is about to burst there do not seem wide of the mark.

The other problem facing a UK government that is concerned about prices getting too high is that the Conservatives have always been a party of home ownership, and have done much to try to get youngsters their first home. Trying to restrict the top end of the market while stimulating the bottom (through schemes such as Help to Buy) is a balancing act the Treasury will find hard to achieve.

In any case, the latest mortgage approval figures suggest that fewer loans are being granted across the board – almost certainly as a result of tighter restrictions from the Mortgage Market Review – and that may well prevent the domestic market getting out of control.

APPROVALS HIT A LOW LEVEL

Borrowers can relax for a little longer

Mortgage approvals fell to their lowest level in nine months in April, and were 17 per cent below the peak they hit in January this year. On top of that, net lending fell by £100 million, from £1.8 billion to £1.7 billion.

Experts say this is good news as it means the economy is no longer relying so heavily on the property market to propel growth. However, at the same time lending to business fell by £2.4 billion, according to Bank of England figures, and among small businesses it fell by £629 million.

Analysts had predicted in recent months that the interest rate widely forecast for spring 2015 would be brought forward to this autumn, but Mark Carney, the governor of the Bank of England, has hinted strongly that this would be too soon.

Speaking in a television interview about the general state of the economy, and specifically about unemployment, he said: “Despite recent progress, significant slack remains in the labour market . . . the MPC (Monetary Policy Committee) judged that there was scope to make further inroads into slack before the first increase in bank rate was necessary.”

The Bank had previously said that a rate rise would be considered when unemployment fell below seven per cent, a figure to which it is now close. It was stressed that a rise would not be automatic.

Borrowers can relax for a few months more.

Mortgages granted in April, down from 66,563 in March.

Toast of Tooting Londoners are gradually flying further south into territories such as SW16 to buy homes with the right space for the right price, reports James Weston of John D Wood & Co Wandsworth.

In the past few months, his office has been instructed on four SW16 properties, all large semi-detached houses between £1.25m and £1.5m close to Tooting Bec Common and Streatham station. Equivalent houses in Wandsworth’s exclusive Toast Rack area sell for £3m.

“We have seen interest from people looking to sell their property in Wandsworth and pay off their mortgages without actually having to downsize, as well as from people selling their properties Between the Commons who are looking for something the size of a Toast Rack

property but without the price tag,” said Weston.

“It’s interesting to watch the natural flow from central to slightly further out, with people making the move from SW11, SW12 and SW18 to SW16. Perhaps it’s a sign of the times, with lending rules being stricter and potential interest rate rises in the near future making people compromise on location to get the space required.”

Currently on the market in SW16 is a six-bedroom Victorian semi in Ambleside Avenue, a one-way street between Streatham station and the southern corner of Tooting Bec Common.

Skylight kitchen Flooded with natural light from multiple skylights, the fully extended kitchen and breakfast room at a threebedroom house in Earlsfield has bi-folding glass doors leading out into a 43ft rear garden.

Close to Earlsfield overground station and Tooting tube, the 1290 sq ft property in Franche Court Road also includes a double reception room, next to the kitchen.

southside As seen by Jonathan Dyson, sales manager of Hamptons Battersea and Wandsworth Supporting summer fetes As we near the end of the school year, we come to one of my seasonal favourites – the summer fete. Estate agents might not be the first people you think of when it comes to charitable donations, however a recent survey found that an astonishing 74 per cent of us involve ourselves individually in fundraising activities, and more than 59 per cent of estate agency branches give money directly to charity. Of these, 46 per cent are involved with fundraising days such as school fetes.

SW11 is no exception, and the Belleville School fair in June is supported by virtually every estate agent around. There’s a talent show, various cake sales and many a grown-up’s favourite, the bar, which is staffed by parents, myself and the Hamptons team. The Honeywell School fair is a couple of weeks later on 5 July and again all my team will be on hand from 7am to set up, arrange, and man various stalls throughout the day.

The biggest one of the lot, however, is the Northcote Road summer fete on Sunday 6 July.

As Chairman of the Northcote Road Business Network, I have spent the last six months planning this huge event. From meetings with the council, TFL, the police, health and safety experts and lots more beside, this fantastic day out takes a huge amount of organising.

The cost is vast – this year we need to find around £50,000 to pay for the day and we raise this by selling stall space, renting fairground rides and most of all, begging for sponsorships. This year the top sponsor is fellow estate agent John Thorogood, with local specialist Estbury Basements picking up the second slot. While my team and I have provided the organisation and manpower, these guys have donated cold hard cash, and together we hope to put on a day out to rival anything the Golden Jubilee had to offer.

So if the fleet of foot could put on a little sun dance, and Andy Murray can do his thing again in SW19, hopefully you can all join us for what promises to be a brilliant day out.

Modern makeover on Mallinson

C

lose to Belleville School, Northcote Road and their annual summer fetes, this four-bedroom family house has been completely modernised and refurbished in the past few years.

Superb entertaining space downstairs combines with a wellarranged upstairs including a boutiquehotel-style master suite with walk in wardrobe and sumptuous bathroom.

Entering the property, the traditional hallway leads to ground floor space completely opened up to create an impressive open plan kitchen, dining and living space with bi-folding doors leading out into the garden.

At the rear of the house, the kitchen itself features a contemporary white high gloss kitchen, white oversize floor tiles and white granite-topped central island complemented by a full-size Aga. The wood floors in the front of the ground floor have been sanded back and painted white to add a further feeling of light and space.

The upstairs contains a master suite, top floor double loft bedroom with large en suite bathroom, two more bedrooms and a large recently refurbished family bathroom.

BAT TERSEA BRIDGE BAT TERSEA BRIDGE ROAD

Battersea Bridge is one of three road bridges connecting Battersea and Wandsworth with Chelsea.

Designed by Sir Joseph Bazalgette it was opened in 1890, replacing the wooden structure, celebrated in the paintings of Cotman, Grimshaw, Whistler and Greaves.

The present bridge was recently restored to its original green, with the spandrels decorated in gilding.

Soon after its construction, Battersea Bridge carried horse-drawn then electric trams.

Now, two stops on from Falcon Wharf, it is where the 170 crosses the Thames.

Old maps reveal this as one of the first houses built for miles and in a vernacular style from local clay, most likely baked in the brick factory then open at One Tree Hill. Today, this woodland remains and surrounds the house to the front, right and behind the garden; you can cut through it to get to Honor Oak’s high street and train station in minutes. There are only a handful of Georgian builds in the area and only those ‘in the know’ are aware of this rather special lane. The house has really good ‘feel’ about it,

Charming Champion B

eautiful bygone detached house c.1780. GII listed, conservation area, rare original features, 4 double bedrooms (potential for a 5th subject to planning), 3 receptions, kitchen/diner, 4-room cellar, garage, off-street parking and approx 125ft garden.

Close to Denmark Hill trains and chain-free.

This historical home was built within the De Crespigny Estate which included a grand house (Champion Lodge) set in 30 acres of parkland-itself built by the De Crespigny family in 1717 who were recently-settled Hugenots.

Stepping inside Champion Cottage is much like stepping back in time. Features you very rarely come across include original late Georgian architraves to every (original) door on the ground floor, large dividing doors between the kitchen and dining room and the two opposite reception rooms, wooden shutters to the windows, a brick wall surrounding the entire plot, two beautiful curved-fronted corner larder cupboards, cornicing, high skirting boards, picture rails, panelling on the first-floor landing and a turned wooden handrail to the main staircase. Original floorboards are certainly under some carpets, there’s part of what seems to be the old range set into a stone pillar in the basement and we think the dumb waiter may just be boarded up.

The entrance hall is wide with two formal receptions on one side with French doors that open to a York stone terrace. You’ll find very pretty matching fireplaces and those original interconnecting doors. A kitchen/ breakfast room overlooks the garden with dividing doors opening to a front-facing dining room. Georgians liked to make the most of sunlight, and this is a very light house. Details like dividing doors were popular in the 18th century, so a ‘double aspect’ could be achieved in large rooms.

Equestrian aspiration G

rade II listed Old Hertsfield Farmhouse, dating back to the 18th century or earlier, stands in its own grounds of 5.5 acres in a secluded location at the end of a private lane.

This six-bedroom property in Marden, Kent, would be ideal for anyone with equestrian inclinations since it features a fully fenced L-shaped paddock and bluebell wood, four stables and a tack room.

The interior offers a wealth of exposed beams, high ceilings, and stripped wooden flooring on most of the ground floor. The remodelled kitchen and breakfast room contains ceramic floor tiling warmed by underfloor heating.

A dual-aspect drawing room features a woodburning stove and the south-facing family room has an impressive inglenook fireplace with oak bressemer beam, plus French windows leading out to the gardens and two stone terraces.

Kitchen appliances include a Lacanche Cluny range cooker and an integral dishwasher, which combine with fitted cupboards, Iroko hardwood and granite work surfaces, and twin ceramic sinks. There’s also an adjoining pantry and utility room.

A wide staircase leads to the first floor landing on the way to four double bedrooms – two with wardrobe cupboards and two bath or shower rooms (one en suite). Above in the attic are two more double bedrooms, one currently used as a study or office.

Gardens of around two acres feature lawns and formal flower beds, mature specimen trees, camellias and azaleas, herb garden and ornamental ponds.

The house has gated access to a paved parking and turning area, and a detached garage with electric doors.

Old Hertsfield Farmhouse, Staplehurst Road, Marden, Kent, guide price £1,295,000, Savills Cranbrook 01580 720161

country view Special report by Simon Scott, associate director of Savills Locksbottom

S

avills Residential Research team recently reported that this year buyers moving from London to a commuter location account for 26 per cent of sales, compared to just 21 per cent in 2013.

This change comes as the price differential between the capital and the rest of the UK reaches an all-time high and Londoners are taking advantage of this.

The increase in demand from both buyers moving out of London and those who are already living in the local market has resulted in all prime regions recording positive annual price growth for the first time since September 2010.

Prime suburbs saw stronger house price growth than prime London with an average increase of 3.8 per cent and 3.6 per cent respectively, according to the Savills prime market indices. Areas such as Locksbottom, Chislehurst and Bickley are fast becoming areas of choice for people looking to make the move out of London, but who don’t wish to relocate out into Surrey or the South East.

Lifestyle choices are the main driving factors, and what you can buy in the Home Counties isn’t always enough of an upgrade from a family house in South West London.

As a result, we are seeing more and more of our clients looking at areas such as Orpington and Chislehurst.

The houses we have seen in demand this year are priced between £850,000 and £1,350,000, and this certainly looks set to continue. There is a shortage of good-sized family homes and when they do come onto the market, they can be literally snapped up within days.

There is a wealth of family properties in the area, which is less than 25 minutes by train into central London. Farnborough Park and Keston Park – or ‘The Parks’, as they are known, offer a wide variety of properties, all with a sense of community.

country vibe Helen Wood, associate director of Savills Locksbottom, takes South on a guided tour of Chiselhurst in Kent ATTRACTIONS Truly a quintessentially English village, Chislehurst is packed with character. With a pond and a village green, it is surrounded by Kent countryside. There is always an amazing atmosphere created by the hub of people meeting at cafes or enjoying a stroll along the friendly High Street.

Steeped in history, Chislehurst continues to thrive as its popularity never fades. It is also worth mentioning the man-made Chislehurst caves, which cover over six hectares underground and have become a main attraction both to visit and for parties and other celebrations .

SHOPS There’s something for everyone, with boutiques and exclusive clothes shops stocking beautiful fashion wear alongside delicatessens, cafes and coffee bars. Shops in the village vary and visitors can find everything from lush interiors to antiques.

TOP STREETS People strive to live close to the village and an abundance of property styles range from quaint Victorian cottages steeped in character to many grand contemporary homes. Some of the most desirable roads include Wilderness Road, Camden Park Road, Watts Lane and Cricket Ground Road.

RESTAURANTS AND PUBS Chislehurst has an abundance of restaurants to suit all tastes and budgets, offering cuisines from around the global from Thai and Italian at Due Amici in Royal Parade to Nepalese and Indian at Mountain View. Chain restaurants such as Pizza Express, Zizzi and Prezzo offer excellent value for family treats. Many people love to meet at the huge variety of public houses, some of the most popular being the Tigers Head, the Bull’s Head and the Crown.

LEISURE Golfers need go no further than Chislehurst Golf Club. There is also cricket, football and rugby at the village sports ground. Surrounded by stunning Kent countryside, riding and walking are also a real joy.

SCHOOLS Good schools in the area include Farringtons, Coopers Technology College, Bullers Wood School for Girls and Chislehurst C of E Primary.

TRANSPORT Chislehurst is only 31 minutes from London Bridge station and less than an hour from the M25. The railway station is in Travelcard Zone 5 and there’s also an excellent bus service.

Looking out at wooded hills of The Hangers O

akshott Hanger House is set high up in a quiet position close to the Hampshire village of Hawkley in the South Downs National Park.

Many of its rooms have southerly and easterly aspects with views across the garden to the wooded hills of The Hangers and the open countryside beyond.

At the heart of the house is a reception hall with a wood-burner. Double-glazed doors lead from here to the generous drawing room with French windows leading out onto the terrace. The dining room has a secondary staircase to bedroom four and a bathroom, allowing for an annexe to be created.

The ground floor also contains the kitchen – with walk-in larder and space for a breakfast area – a cosy library, conservatory and family room, as well as a large utility room.

Main stairs to the first floor lead from the reception hall with more steps up to the master bedroom, which

has a dressing room with fitted wardrobes, en suite bathroom and separate shower, and French windows to a balcony. There are four more bedrooms on the first floor and two bathrooms. A detached studio at the house offers useful extra space with potential to adapt to individual needs.

Gardens and grounds of almost 24 acres to the south and east of the house include a swimming pool and deck area overlooking the private woodland.

There are also two stables, two orchard paddocks and a larger paddock, and beyond the formal garden are areas of woodland designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).

Novelist’s Flint Cottage gives poetic inspiration F

lint Cottage on the slopes of Box Hill, on the North Downs of Surrey, was once the home of Victorian novelist and cerebral poet laureate George Meredith, who lived here for more than 40 years.

Legendary literary contemporaries such as Robert Louis Stevenson, Rudyard Kipling and Sir James Barrie were regular visitors to the Meredith abode, and in 1876 he built the Norwegian chalet – with its magnificent southerly views – from which he derived a great deal of poetic inspiration. Today it would make the perfect office or guest suite.

Built in the 1780s, Flint Cottage is Grade II listed and retains many original Georgian features from George’s day including fireplaces and sash and shuttered windows. Its south-east-facing garden and grounds of three acres offer a backdrop of formal lawn, wild gardens and fruit trees.

You approach Flint Cottage through wooden gates and a driveway by a central lawn surrounded by

established hedging. Gardens at the side and rear contain a tennis lawn together with mature trees, shrubs and borders providing seclusion and far-reaching views across National Trust land. Past the driveway, off The Zig Zag, is a double garage.

Total inside living space is 2728 sq ft mainly on the ground and first floors and including a basement den and family room or storeroom. The garden chalet offers 316 sq ft. Four-bedroom Flint Cottage stands on the edge of the picturesque village of Mickleham, past the Running Horses pub.

chewton news Estate agents Chewton Rose share their highlights of the month

Open houses delight Cobham and Weybridge sellers Sellers of up-market homes in the Cobham and Weybridge areas increasingly want ‘open house’ events to efficiently promote and sell their homes, according to estate agent Chewton Rose.

Guy Leaning said: “In a buoyant market, with homes of distinction in very short supply, vendors increasingly see open house events as the best way to ensure they are achieving the best price and that the valuation of their property is correct.

“Rather than accept an offer after one or two viewings, sellers are much more confident that they’ve got the best price after an open event.”

For example, a 1970s detached home in a quiet cul-de-sac in Weybridge saw 22 viewings, four offers and 107 per cent of the guide price was achieved.

A family house close to Cobham station saw 28 viewings, three offers and 105 per cent of the guide price being achieved.

Said Dorothea Garewal: “Open events are a powerful marketing tool, creating a considerable buzz around a property. A week or two before the event, we market the property widely on the web, inform the local neighbourhood and email our extensive database of buyers. We also put a board outside the property.”

Chewton Rose specialise in quintessential British homes of distinction – from magnificent old vicarages and manor houses to modern barn conversions and idyllic country cottages of historical interest. A new office in Pall Mall, London, is due to open soon to meet the demand for homes outside the capital.

Guy Leaning (in blue) celebrates with friends and colleagues

Magic moments G

uy Leaning, Area Sales Partner of Chewton Rose, cycled from London to Brighton and raised £1,118 for the children’s charity Magic Moments.

Magic Moments was set up in 1998 by the estate agent’s parent company and has raised over £1,000,000 to help many families who have terminally ill children in hospice care.

Guy was joined by colleagues from the group’s head office, other branches and friends on the 58.5-mile ride from the Tower of London to Brighton Pier. In total £31,000 was raised.

He said: “There was great camaraderie with everyone on the ride. It was a terrific day out for a fantastic cause.”

Promotion for Guy Guy Leaning has been appointed to Area Sales Partner for Chewton Rose South.

Guy oversees the general management of Chewton Rose offices located in five counties and employing over 30 members of staff.

With some 28 years of extensive experience in the property industry, Guy has worked in both the corporate and independent sectors bringing comprehensive and knowledgeable insight to the selling and purchasing of executive and country homes.

Guy says: “Chewton Rose had all the ingredients I needed to establish a new brand in Cobham, bring together my contacts from working the area and really putting the business on the map.

“The company is growing and I was delighted to be offered the position. I am excited about the opportunity of working with my new teams.”

MINIMALIST KITCHEN The minimalist kitchen of this recently refurbished family house Between the Commons has bifolding doors out into the barbecue-friendly rear garden.

Off Northcote Road and close to Wandsworth Common, the 2227 sq ft home in Kelmscott Road combines original period features with modern design, including a double reception with wooden floors and white shutters to give a contemporary feel.

The first floor has three double bedrooms and a family bathroom, and the loft has been converted to create two more double bedrooms and a bathroom. The property also has a basement.

T

he recent surge in London prices means that now is as good a time as any to become a professional landlord.

The continued capital appreciation forecast across the industry for the next few years suggests that there are arguably few better investment opportunities than London property.

South London is becoming increasingly popular largely due to it being better value for money than many areas north of the river. It’s served by great transport links, top schooling and offers a range of architectural styles to suit a variety of tastes. It also benefits from fantastic green spaces, with Putney in particular being spoilt for choice as Richmond Park, the riverside, Wandsworth Park and Wandsworth Common are all nearby.

With the developments at Battersea Power Station putting South West London on the map for foreign investors, the area is now getting the recognition it deserves as a destination for fantastic value. As a result, there has been a notable rise in activity in the buy-to-let investor market, with 31 per cent of sales transactions through our Putney office involving investors rather than end-users. More significantly, this portion is far higher at 60 per cent for the new-build transactions across the company.

New developments on Enterprise Way, which include Kennet House, Severn House, Avon House and Witham House, tempt many searches across from the Clapham area and have already proven incredibly popular with our corporate tenants, thanks to their high specification

and great amenities. Likewise, the iconic Putney Wharf Tower by Putney Bridge is a great example of a successful riverside development.

Developments such as these have also resulted in additional stock within the market, providing tenants with a greater choice and consequently softening the monthly rental prices by approximately five to 10 per cent from last year. Demand for properties remains high, however. Current supply levels and stricter lending criteria mean that today’s tenants are renting for longer. As well as this, the average age of tenants is on the rise, allowing landlords to take advantage of a wider choice of tenants.

The corporate market continues to remain strong and searches by relocation agents are rising. Many are for middle managers of investment banks, commonly looking for either single or two-bedroom properties.

Prompted by the positive forecast for the summer, we are expecting many corporate families to take the opportunity between the academic years to relocate into larger properties.

This year we’ve achieved some fantastic agreements regarding length of tenancy. With the obvious benefits of continuity for landlords (no void period, reduced costs), many of our clients have been able to take advantage of tenants’ desire for stability and in some cases have been able to secure a two or three-year contract.

For example, the newly built 39 Emerald Square, on the increasingly changing Roehampton Lane, was let for a full 24 months within a week of being instructed.

the last word Simon Hardie, head of Sales for John D Wood & Co Clapham, gives his answers to South

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

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

My previous career was in hospitality in South Africa, but feeling the need for a change and more sociable hours I moved back to London in 2005 and secured my first position in estate agency in Kensington. Regent’s Park and Camden followed before I settled in my current role with John D Wood & Co in Clapham.

Keep in touch with the agents as much as possible and make viewing properties as soon they are launched a priority. The more you see, the better able you are to decide quickly if a property is the right one for you – an important and necessary skill in this market.

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

I enjoy the pace of this type of market. It’s a real challenge to help vendors find and retain buyers while balancing their own search for their next purchase in a market where available stock is so limited. A highlight for me has been putting together an outstanding team for my branch.

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

The biggest challenge at the moment is the lack of available properties on the market.

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

Average estate agency is no longer acceptable – you need to stand out in this very competitive market place. Arm yourself with a sound understanding of all the processes involved in the selling process and take any training that is offered to you.

space of the Common, a wonderful mix of people, an expansive range of restaurants and charismatic bars, and the transport links in or out of London are second to none.

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

I would definitely choose to sell very expensive and beautiful cars.

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

South London has been one of the busiest markets over the last year.

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

The market will become more balanced and there will be a gradual slowing in the pace of the market.

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

I’d move stamp duty thresholds to be in line with today’s prices and change the way they are calculated to reflect a similar system to income tax.

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

Clapham as you have the incredible open
