Savills new office in Battersea is joining the already established office near Battersea Park

S

avills has been selling and letting in and around Battersea for decades and their newest office on Battersea Bridge Road is now open. There will be a residential sales and lettings department, alongside a dedicated waterfront team and a residential development team for south west London.

If you stand on Wandsworth Bridge and look along the southern bank of the river in both directions, you will see that where there used to be crumbling wharves and patches of overgrown scrubland there is now bold, exciting new blocks of waterfront apartments. Our dedicated Residential Development team run

by Simon Walker has been assisting on selling and marketing these developments and will be involved in the many more to come.

and Tom Burke for lettings, specialise in selling and letting properties on both the north and south bank of the river stretching from Twickenham to Canary Wharf. They see that quite often what buyers and tenants are looking for is that lock up and leave lifestyle. They will therefore match the right home with the right person whether it’s in south, west, central or east London. Last year, Savills Waterfront sold £115 million worth of property along the riverside and generated over £6 million of lettings income for their landlords.

The new residential sales and lettings team, based at the Battersea Bridge office, is an expansion of the already established office by the Park headed up by Mayow Short and Clare Hampson. They, along with the rest of the office, will be working as one team with our local offices in Clapham and Wandsworth.

Robin Chatwin, head of sales in south west London says “We’re really excited about this new multi-discipline office joining our London network of 30 offices. We will not only be able to provide clients with our local expertise but also give access to a full range of property services – so whether finance, interior services or insurance advice we can help.”

Whether you are buying, selling, renting, letting or simply want to chat about the new office or the property market, please pop into see us or call on 020 3430 6900.

Q&A ask the expert

How can we make ourselves the most attractive buyers of a property? We want to bid on what we expect will be a popular house, but don’t quite know our tactics.

Q

Jacksons win triple gold

Clive Moon, head of Savills Wimbledon, replies ...

Being the most attractive buyer depends on a number of factors, with favoured attributes varying from vendor to vendor. While circumstance and luck play a part, there are a number of things buyers can do to ensure they create a good impression.

My first tip would be to do your research: come to your first viewing prepared and with all parties involved as time is of the essence with popular properties. If you have questions, ask. Push for answers and give yourself the best chance of making a quick decision on the property.

If you then decide to bid, my advice would be to offer what you think the property is worth. Good houses often sell above the guide price so don’t expect offers to be accepted. Put your best foot forward. If you like the house, another one similar might not be just around the corner. This way, if the bid turns out to be too low, at least you can walk away with no regrets.

Buyers that have their finances in order, a mortgage agreed in principle and a solicitor instructed demonstrate that their offer is serious and they’re in a good position to move forward.

Since the recent Mortgage Market Review in early 2014, the process is taking longer and a good broker can make the difference between getting that mortgage and securing the house or sitting in no man’s land. Proceedability is particularly attractive to vendors looking to move quickly, and for some will count for more than a higher offer from the less prepared party.

Finally, be flexible. Don’t argue over minor points, establish that you are happy to progress at the pace of the vendor and create a positive rapport. Buying and selling a house is one of the biggest financial transactions a person will make in their lifetime. Enabling it to be as stress-free and simple as possible can make a huge difference.

eing close to decent transport is key in the capital, so even the whiff of a new link can lead to a great clamour for property, says Grahame Hall of Riverhomes.

He’s recently witnessed interest in Battersea’s riverside between Wandsworth Bridge and Battersea Square due to proposals for a new pedestrian bridge in the area.

“And at nearby Nine Elms, plans for two new Northern Line stops are adding value to homes in and around this redevelopment scheme,” explains Hall, who’s seen prices of one-bed flats rise from £400,000 to 700,000, and two-beds from £650,000 to £900,000.

Initially met with a mixed reception from locals, the new Overground at Denmark Hill, where trains run every quarter of an hour into Clapham, Shoreditch and Highbury and Islington, has become a real hit, notes Brett MacDougall of Hunters Camberwell.

“People are discovering Camberwell and it’s becoming fairly arty. Buzzing Peckham has been put on the map too,” he says.

Other pluses are dedicated bus lanes, more cyclists (and trendy cycle service shops), and nearby Loughborough Junction on the King’s Cross and Thameslink networks. “We’re now considered one of the best connected postcodes in south-east London,” MacDougall proudly adds.

Dulwich is another well-connected district, argues Stuart Williams at the Northwood Dulwich office.

“The East London line extension has had a big effect on property prices, particularly in Forest Hill, Sydenham, Anerley, Penge West and Crystal Palace. These areas have seen a lot of interest from developers and investors,” he comments.

Stuart explains that there are many pockets of East London brimming with ‘good stock’ and with little need for redevelopment apart from cosmetic changes. “This means investors can snap up homes at reasonable prices and rent them out at a premium to City workers taking advantage of the newly developed line.”

Berkeley has been leading the regeneration at Royal Arsenal Riverside for over a decade, but Crossrail is making the area more attractive for homeowners, points out John Anderson, chairman of Berkeley (East Thames).

village vibe William Drey, sales manager of John D Wood & Co’s Clapham office, takes South on a guided tour of the Heaver Estate ATTRACTIONS The Heaver Estate is now one of the most popular areas for families south of the river. One of south-west London’s first conservation areas, this Victorian ‘estate’ of tree-lined streets is situated enviably close to excellent public transport links and the green expanse of Tooting Bec Common.

The houses are consistently magnificent, and this, coupled with easy links to the City and West End, make it a magnet for both city lovers and those in search of green spaces and fresh air.

SHOPS Balham High Street is a short walk away, with Waitrose, Sainsbury’s and many other high street essentials. Ritherdon Road in the Heaver itself has a parade of independent shops including Quirky Dovetail with its stylish vintage furniture, Thorold Wines and Gallery Midnight.

TOP STREETS All the streets in the Heaver grid are consistently attractive Victorian terraces or semis. Elmbourne Road with its stunning double fronted houses faces Tooting Bec Common itself. Streathbourne Road (pictured), wide and tree-lined, is famous for its community atmosphere and vibrant social activities, and its exceptional houses.

RESTAURANTS AND PUBS Where to start?

Balham and Tooting offer an exceptionally wide range of restaurants. Balham is

famously home to a great many good restaurants and cafes, including Harrison’s (co-owned by Rick Stein), Lamberts (modern British) and the wonderful Bucci.

If you like South Asian cuisine, you’re spoilt for choice with Tooting on your doorstep.

Ritherdon Road in the Heaver itself is home to the ever-popular French Café.

LEISURE Tooting Bec Lido is one of the finest open air freshwater swimming pools in the country, and it’s right on the doorstep. The Common is also home to the popular tennis courts and the café – at weekends it’s truly buzzing with activity. There are also several gyms and fitness clubs in the area.

SCHOOLS Another of the main draws to the area is its close proximity to a large number of excellent schools, both primary and secondary. There are many good primary schools a short distance away including Bertrum House and Finton House, and buses leave direct from the Heaver for the Dulwich schools and Wimbledon.

TRANSPORT The Heaver is a short walk from Balham and Tooting Bec tube stations on the Northern Line, with its quick access to the City. Balham also offers overground trains into London and to the South, including a direct link to Gatwick.

the word Special report by Warren McCann, sales manager of Foxtons Dulwich

T

he World Cup, Wimbledon and the Commonwealth Games provided some exciting distractions this summer, but since these have now left our screens and our thoughts, applicant figures have risen again and the market is definitely striding forward, contrary to media speculation.

Thanks to the continued expansion of the London Overground and, more specifically, the East London Line, south-east London is seeing a significant increase of applicants registering to buy in the area. More and more buyers are also expanding their search from south-west London hotspots such as Clapham and Balham, finding properties in and around East Dulwich offering better value for money.

In fact we are even seeing some making the move from areas ‘up north’ such as Islington and Shoreditch. With its many surrounding green

spaces and parks, period houses and excellent schools, East Dulwich is proving to be a hugely popular place for families.

The combination of rising property prices in south London and steady rental income means that the area boasts excellent investment opportunities. The surrounding areas of Peckham, Camberwell and Nunhead have also seen substantial capital growth this year, due to the rise in demand for property in the capital pushing out towards all boundaries. This year has also seen a significant increase in buy-to-let buyers in the area, with cash buyers from all over the world keen to invest their money in London property.

Dulwich is also enjoying a burst of new energy as shops, bars and restaurants open up, taking advantage of the continued and increasing interest in the area. East Dulwich is set to see the opening of a new pizza restaurant, the

popular Franco Manca, which first made its name in trendy Brixton Market, as well as a new Picturehouse cinema on Lordship Lane, showing new releases and art-house films. Adding to these, a new primary school is set to open in East Dulwich and Haberdashers’ Aske’s Federation has put in an application for a secondary school in the area.

This is an exciting part of the capital and my advice to anyone looking to invest in London property would be to take advantage of this upand-coming area and buy while you can.

out of town buy Berry House in the Surrey village of Bletchingly is a quintessential country retreat that’s an easy commute from central London. Redhill station, around 30 minutes from London Victoria and London Bridge, is less than four miles away.

With spectacular views towards the North Downs, the £1.15m seven-bedroom Georgian house has been extensively renovated in recent years and includes cellars, pool, garage, and gardens of almost half an acre.

celebritywatch No need to keep chasing pavements if you’re looking for a large mansion in the Sussex countryside. The former rented home of singer Adele and her boyfriend is now on the market for £6m.

The Grade II listed 10-bedroom property with 25 acres in Horsham – a far cry from the South London bedsit where the singer once lived with her mother – includes two swimming pools, a tennis court and a helicopter hanger.

For sale through Strutt & Parker, it could be perfect for someone like you.

Where is it? Conveniently located just a short walk from Balham or Tooting Bec on a lively parade of shops and restaurants.

What’s it like? A truly authentic local Italian restaurant – a firm favourite with my family and friends for its great food and friendly atmosphere. You’re guaranteed a warm welcome from the owner Davide, a real character.

And the food? Excellent pizzas and a wide range of home-cooked Italian food, with delicious desserts. Seasonal daily specials and plenty of good Italian wine. Book as it’s very popular, even midweek.

heads-up

Keeping you informed about property news and events in your area

Waterfront premiums Waterfront properties in the South West command an average premium of 75 per cent, the largest in the UK, according to Knight Frank’s latest Prime Waterfront Index.

Harbour properties enjoy a premium uplift of about 83 per cent and coastal properties – waterfront properties that do not overlook an estuary or harbour – are still worth 56 per cent more than inland equivalents. Properties next to a river have an added value of 57 per cent, while lakeside homes see an average uplift of 37 per cent.

Christopher Bailey, head of Knight Frank’s Waterfront Team, said: “Activity levels are rising across all price sectors, but the further away from London the slower the pace is.”

King of Camberwell Andrew Scott Robertson has launched a new residential sales and lettings office in Camberwell to serve South East London.

The office in Church Street, Camberwell, aims to cover all the needs of buyers, sellers, landlords and tenants of residential property in Camberwell together with neighbouring areas Denmark Hill, Kennington and Peckham.

Managing director John King (pictured) said: “Although market conditions over the last few years have been challenging, London has performed exceptionally well. Our new Camberwell office extends our reach into South East London and allows us to offer customers in this area our comprehensive range of property services including commercial property management, acquisitions, development consultancy, auctions, RICS valuations and professional services.”

Telephone 020 7703 4401.

Battersea Bridge multi-discipline team After decades selling and letting around Battersea, Savills opened its newest office on Battersea Bridge Road in August. Close to Wandsworth Bridge, the multi-discipline office sees Savills waterfront and South West London residential development teams working together alongside a residential sales and lettings department.

Robin Chatwin, head of sales in South West London, said: “We’re really excited about this new multi-discipline office joining our London network of 30 offices. We will not only be able to provide clients with our local expertise but also give access to a full range of property services – so whether finance, interior services or insurance advice, we can help.”

The new Savills Battersea Bridge office is at 62-64 Battersea Bridge Road SW11, telephone 020 3430 6900. Team members pictured are: (back row from left) Robin Chatwin, Simon Walker; (front row from left) Tom Burke, Fran Moynihan, Clare Hampson, Mayow Short.

Melissa to host Luxury Property Show reception Registration is now open for this year’s Luxury Property Show, which will showcase some of the world’s most prestigious homes.

The event at London’s exclusive Hurlingham Club on November 4 and 5 and will offer an unprecedented portfolio of luxury properties from ski chalets to Surrey mansions, and from Caribbean villas to beach view homes in the most desirable locations on the planet. London Property Review South is an official media partner.

A full schedule of events and seminars includes a VIP reception hosted

by TV property personality Melissa Porter (pictured). “Portugal is an upand-coming destination and the US continues to impress,” said Melissa.

“In some quarters we are seeing increased demand for luxury urban properties, where entrepreneurs want to cut down on commuting time. Elsewhere, the vacation sector is showing renewed interest in the Caribbean, for example, and also an increased desire to buy off-plan.”

Is the housing market cooling down as weather warms up?

Patrick Rampton, director of Rampton Baseley The heady days of early spring seem far away now. Back then, a seller could virtually name his price and had a superb pick of good buyers. Now you almost have to ask buyers what they would be prepared to pay, and they have a superb pick of good properties.

How did this all happen? Firstly, Northcote Road is the most heavily mortgaged postcode in the country (CML), and over the first quarter, prices here rose by about 10 per cent. Buyers got a bit worried by this and took a step back.

Mark Carney talking about interest rates being maybe 2 per cent in 2015 led to more worried buyers.

Opportunistic sellers saw the headline prices and flooded the market with new property.

Result: greater supply and less demand, and therefore price correction.

Jonathan Loney, manager of John D Wood & Co Southfields Entering the summer months, we began to see an increase in properties coming to the market as sellers looked to capitalise on the strong prices and make the move out towards the country.

With increased property stock, buyers now find themselves with more choice and less pressure to make instant buying decisions and quick offers.

This in turn has led to prices starting to level out and overpriced properties remaining on the market.

Correctly priced properties, however, remain in high demand and are attracting good quality buyers.

Wandsworth restoration S

upervised by English Heritage, a five-year restoration programme has been completed at Wandsworth House, a fascinating Grade II-star listed Georgian home that dates back to 1680.

This historic six to seven-bedroom house on East Hill, close to Wandsworth Town mainline station, features a delightful landscaped walled garden with brick pathways leading through ornamental trees and shrubs to restful seating areas.

You approach the original main entrance through a mature front garden enclosed by ornate railings and original wrought-iron gate. A gated side driveway provides another route into the house from the rear garden, and there’s off-street parking for several cars.

The front door opens into a deep and wide entrance hall with a galleried staircase, original wood panelling and wide oak floorboards. On one side of the front hall is a formal dining room and on the other an elegant sitting room: both have large open fireplaces, original beams, built-in shelves and cupboards and the original windows.

A breakfast bar in the fitted kitchen overlooks the rear garden.

Flexible living space on the lower ground floor is set up as a study, potential seventh bedroom, bathroom and wine vault. A separate entrance from the front garden means the space would be perfect for a nanny or granny flat.

On the upper floors are six double bedrooms, four bath or shower rooms and a dressing room. Generous landings with original-style windows create a light and open feel throughout the home.

At the heart of the conservation area is a triangular green with some fine mature trees, contributing to the quietly residential air with open space and greenery creating a suburban feel.

West Hill links westward to Putney Heath and eastward to Wandsworth town centre. Lytton Grove connects with Putney Hill, leading to Putney town centre. Historical records show that development in the area – previously known as the Clock House Estate – began in 1895 and was largely completed by 1906.

Currently for sale on Rusholme Road itself is an imposing five to six-bedroom Edwardian semi that offers more than 3000 sq ft on four floors. The property provides an opportunity to refurbish and extend the

flexible living space to suit your own tastes and needs.

The ground floor contains a reception room, kitchen, dining room and a conservatory leading to a 70ft mature rear garden and patio. The lower ground floor has a family room and cellar, and a first floor study and library could be converted into a sixth bedroom. The front garden could be used for off-street parking space.

Rusholme Road is handy for East Putney tube station as well as the shops, bars and restaurants of Upper Richmond Road. It is also walking distance from Putney mainline station.

Prime exhibit A house built for the Great Exhibition is now a prime property showcase in Wandsworth, says Cheryl Markosky

A

barometer using leeches, the Koh-i-Noor diamond, the world’s first voting machine and Samuel Colt’s prototype for his Navy Colt revolver were all displayed at the Great Exhibition of 1851 in Hyde Park.

Prince Albert, the visionary behind this spectacle, would also have lent his approval to Elsynge Road, built the same year for the exhibition on the borders of Wandsworth and Battersea.

How fitting, then, that developer Huxley Land has converted a rundown, mish-mash of bedsits formerly run by a charity back into the original pair of proudlooking houses. One half of the duo – a six-bedroom, five-storey, detached edifice – is now for sale.

David Huxley points out that although planning can be a thorny issue on some projects, he met no opposition.

Wandsworth Council and the neighbours were delighted to see the dilapidated bedsits turned back into ‘proper’ houses.

After taking possession of the property last year, Huxley knew there was a lot of work ahead to return it to its former glory as smart Neville Gill House (trumpeted on a plaque at the front), once housing the neighbourhood’s churchwarden. “It was neglected,

the garden was overrun and the 1950s extension was awful,” he explains.

Thanks to Huxley and his team – including business partner and designer Alison Bertram, planning consultancy Iceni Projects and Helen Turkington Interiors – the Elsynge Road house is a tribute to all things Victorian and modern.

Huxley held onto and restored 19th century features whenever possible, from the handmade sash windows and new cornicing to white-washed oak flooring and second-hand yellow brick on the back extension that’s totally in keeping with the period.

As we’re now dwelling in the 21st century, he’s also sensibly installed a brand-new, handmade Bryan Turner kitchen and CAT 5 and 6 cabling. “The house is wired within an inch of its life for AV, sound and wi-fi, but we don’t fit projectors and other pieces of technology as such. Some buyers want everything going, while others want the bare minimum, so this offers choice.”

Huxley is particularly pleased with the ground floor layout, with a snug and TV room at the front and a roomy kitchen and dining room at the back leading out through French doors onto the south-facing garden, which was a big task to level off, remodel and re-turf.

“This is a substantial semi-detached family house and the buyer could even buy some or all of the furniture if they wanted” Emma Seaton, Savills Wandsworth

“I also think the second floor master bedroom suite with its own roof terrace where you can sit and sip your coffee is very special.”

Selling agent Emma Seaton from Savills loves “the hand-built kitchen (I’m glad it’s not high-gloss, like so many others these days) and large study that would be the perfect space for a psychiatrist to counsel his clients.”

Seaton adds that the property’s ideal for a family.

“They could even buy some or all of the furniture from the London Furnishing Company if they wanted.”

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.

The album that changed your life?

Herne Hill, SE24

What and where was your first London home?

Renting in a two-bedroom flat on Half Moon Lane above a dry cleaners.

Favourite open space in London?

For some odd reason, I feel compelled to say either Brockwell Park or Ruskin Park.

What do you consider your greatest achievement?

I have just completed the purchase of my first flat: a one-bedroom in Denmark Hill opposite Ruskin Park. It’s just started to make me feel like a real adult!

If you could edit your past, what would you change?

Californication by Red Hot Chilli Peppers – still my favourite band to this day and still one of my favourite albums ever.

How do you relax?

A gym session never goes amiss, or a good steak and a scotch whisky.

Which living person do you most admire and why?

I’m going to be a bit cheesy here and say either my grandfather or my mother – they have both been a massive part of where I am today.

What is your most treasured possession?

Sadly it’s probably my signed Paolo Di Canio West Ham United football shirt.

I wouldn’t attempt to head a football that resulted in a swift volley to the face during a school soccer match.

What is your favourite book?

Aside from property, what’s your most expensive purchase?

What is your guiltiest pleasure?

I don’t really buy a lot of expensive stuff.

So I guess it would either be my iPhone or Citizen Eco-Drive watch.

New homes update Special report by John East, director of Land and New Homes for Kinleigh Folkard & Hayward

H

ouse sales activity across London over the last 12 months has given companies who provide financial backing for land acquisitions and the construction of new homes more confidence, which has in turn whetted their appetite for lending again.

As a result, we’ve seen increased competition in this specific lending arena, which can only be good for the market, encouraging housebuilders to continue to build more new homes.

Although the London sales market has calmed and returned to more normal conditions over recent months, demand for new homes remains strong and developments being launched over the next month or so outside Zone 1 will receive positive interest from homeowners and investors alike.

Off-plan sales continue to play an active role in the new homes market, enabling many developers to press forward with their construction. In particular, we’ve seen many new developments offering off-plan buying south of the river. One Palace Road, a collection of 17 one and two-bedroom new-build apartments in Streatham, will complete in July 2015, and has seen good off-plan sales interest.

Another popular development nearby, Nicholls Mews (pictured), comprises eight completely refurbished townhouses in a gated development on Streatham High Street, priced from £465,000. Streatham is proving popular among buyers who appreciate its good transport links and choice of properties available.

The successful Grade II listed conversion scheme at Baylis Old School in Kennington has now sold 60 per cent of all apartments, 25 per cent of those resulting from off-plan sales, and most buyers are either local residents or owner occupiers who appreciate the area’s community feel. This scheme has been particularly popular as it offers great transport links to the City and a wealth of communal space often not found this close to the river.

Demand for houses remains as strong as ever in a marketplace dominated by flats. A good example is a development in Denmark Hill, where a large Regency house has been expertly and sympathetically divided into two five-bedroom houses superbly restored to provide spacious living accommodation, priced from £1,650,000.

Optical vision A

new collection of 84 homes at Grainger’s Macaulay Walk development, Clapham Old Town’s latest premium residential address, includes heritage conversion apartments and houses retaining many of the site’s original features.

Next to Clapham Common on the site of the former Ross Optical Works, dating back to 1891, the one and two-bedroom apartments and houses have been designed by Assael Architecture and prime residential interior specialists MMM Architects.

The houses have an ‘upside down’ layout, with bedroom and bathroom spaces on the ground floor, kitchen, living and dining area on the first floor, and a loft-style space on the second floor.

All homes have large oak doors with bespoke bronze handles reflecting the site’s industrial heritage, marble countertops in the bathrooms, premium lighting and rich wood flooring. Iron joists and wooden beams have

been renovated to protect the building’s history.

With a background as in-house architects for the Manhattan Loft Corporation, MMM has helped proliferate the loft phenomenon in the UK, and has transferred the ethos of open, modernist architecture into the interior design of Macaulay Walk.

Data conflict

his situation may be familiar to you: a savings statement lands on your doorstep showing how little you’ve earned in interest over the past year. With base rate still at 0.5 per cent and savings rates not far from that, by taking out an offset mortgage, you have the opportunity to use that money and save thousands of pounds and reduce the number of years it takes to pay off your mortgage.

Although offset products are not widely available and are perceived complex, it is not surprising that borrowers do not take out these products in droves. However, when real numbers are added to the equation, the real benefit can be seen. For example, on a £250,000 mortgage over 25 years, by offsetting £50,000 saving against the balance, the borrower could save over £10,000 in mortgage interest and pay off the mortgage more than two-anda-half years early. Plus, you still have that £50,000 nest egg at the end.

While attractive, offset mortgages are not so widely available and some are priced at a premium over conventional mortgages, but they can bring long-term financial benefits for those with under-utilised savings.

Statistics may be contradictory but the applicants just keep on borrowing, says Duncan Farmer

T

here are such conflicting data coming out of the property and mortgage markets that it is hard to know quite what is going on. The number of people taking out mortgages is rising again, according to figures from the Bank of England, and yet house prices are falling according to the Land Registry, whose figures also show that the number of house sales has risen.

The rise in mortgage approvals – a surprise jump of 8 per cent in June against the number for May – suggests that the blockage caused by the new, tighter rules brought in as a result of the Mortgage Market Review has eased.

Under the new rules, applicants were having to wait longer to get an appointment with their bank or building society and, after that, faced a long process during which their finances were scrutinised.

“This is partly due to some lenders struggling to process applications because of the volumes they are receiving, and partly because some lenders are asking more questions after receiving an application, particularly in relation to items on the bank statement, including sometimes trivial amounts,” said Ray Boulger of John Charcol mortgage broker.

Lenders who were not quite ready for the additional workload that came with the new regulations simply could not cope and the entire process became drawn out.

That now appears to have eased.

Mark Harris SPF Private Clients

Lending threshold

T

he Bank of England’s Monetary Policy Committee has been considering the issue of restricting the income multiples lenders use, in order to prevent borrowers pushing themselves too far.

However, in spite of the booming market in London, where high loan-to-income multiples are more common, the percentage of borrowers taking out loans of 4.5 times their income is just 11 per cent.

A threshold at which action might be taken to curb such high income multiples has been suggested at 15 per cent, so at present there appears no need for any restrictions, which would hit London hardest, to be introduced.

The other positive force encouraging applicants to carry on borrowing is that hints that the Bank of England’s Monetary Policy Committee will put up interest rates are becoming louder and louder, so new borrowers and those looking to remortgage are applying for cash while cheap stocks last.

As our mortgage charts show, fixedrate deals remain cheap. Nationwide, for example, has a rate of 2.19 per cent fixed for two years for borrowers with a deposit of at least 30 per cent, and there are other great deals out there.

Ray Boulger believes that the picture in both the housing and mortgage markets will become clearer only in September when the effects of the Mortgage Market Review have had more time to filter through.

The Bank’s committee will also have to decide soon whether it or the Chancellor needs to act to cool the housing market, particularly in London where prices have risen by 18 per cent in a year. While that figure might suggest a bubble that could burst, it should be noted that in other parts of the country prices remain in the doldrums.

In Northern Ireland, for example, house prices are 50 per cent below their 2007 peak. Any measures to cool the market would have to apply nationwide and it would be unwise to apply a rule to restrict the market in London that would also reduce activity in areas such as Belfast, which need stimulus not stagnation.

Borrowers less likely to suffer A

HIGH COST At a time when lenders are nervous of advancing money to anyone other than applicants with the cleanest of credit histories, it seems there are some people with a murky past who are able to raise cash.

Enness, a private bank, has just arranged a mortgage against the £1 million London home of a client who had a string of county court judgments against his name. It did, however, come at a cost: an interest rate of 17.4 per cent.

nother factor that must surely be considered by policymakers when looking to regulate the market further must be the number of repossessions or people in arrears on their mortgage.

The figure for repossessions peaked in 2009 at just under 50,000, but this year is expected to be half that and next year suggestions are that it will be about 28,000. At a time when a record number of people are in work – the unemployment rate is 6.6 per cent today compared with 7.8 per cent in 2009 – and therefore more able to keep up their repayments, and when rates are low, the likelihood of arrears and repossessions spiralling out of control seems unlikely.

If, as he has promised, Mark Carney, governor of the Bank of England, raises interest rates slowly, borrowers appear less likely to suffer unduly.

southside As seen by Jonathan Dyson, area sales director for Hamptons Battersea and Wandsworth A pause for breath?

I don’t think it’s news to anyone that the heat has finally started to come out of the London market. Tougher lending rules and changing buyer sentiment have both had an impact on demand, as has the recent increase in supply.

Hometrack, one of the most respected analysts of the London market, reports that 11, per cent of areas are now registering price falls, while only 12 per cent of London postcodes registered price gains in July. So the question is whether you should buy now or wait to see how far prices will fall.

First of all you need to look at the facts: Wandsworth property prices rose by around 20 per cent between January 2013 and April 2014. Since then we have seen a softening of the market by around 5 per cent. However, agents were valuing properties at the peak around 5 per cent more than their actual worth because they were predicting further price rises.

They also gave over-the-top prices to win the instruction, so in some cases those properties have needed to reduce by up to 10 per cent to reflect true current worth. In most cases, properties that have been reduced by these margins look like pretty good value.

Buyers also need to remember two things: firstly, there are no ‘distressed sellers’. Most vendors are selling because they fancy somewhere bigger or they want to cash in and make a move out of London. If they don’t get the price they want, they will simply stay put and move next year. After all, they’re hardly living in a hovel or a dodgy area!

Secondly, buyer numbers always rise in September as buyers plan for a move before Christmas. We’re already seeing more buyers come to the market and have sold more properties in July than in all of Quarter 2 as there are some pretty good deals out there.

So if you are looking to buy then make the most of where the market is right now.

Believe me, it really won’t last.

Wimbledon’s finest

O

ne of Wimbledon’s finest houses, a Grade II listed Victorian mansion that stands in almost two acres of beautiful and secluded landscaped grounds, is soon to become available.

This spectacular country home in London is surrounded by both formal and woodland gardens complete with floodlit tennis court, heated outdoor swimming pool and direct access to over 20 acres of protected metropolitan open land – perfect for the family to explore without straying too far.

Built in the 1860s, the house was derelict when the current owners acquired it in 1995. Under the direction of the Edward Hill Partnership, they carried out an extensive programme of meticulous restoration while retaining and enhancing its distinctive Victorian character and charm.

Cornices, mouldings and windows were sympathetically reinstated and interiors were designed in traditional style with contemporary appeal. Open fireplaces were restored together with some fine antique marble mantelpieces.

A grand reception hall with imposing wide oak staircase leads to ground floor accommodation including two elegant formal receptions, fully equipped kitchen and family room, and Victorianstyle conservatory.

The first floor includes a staff flat with a kitchen, bathroom and separate ground floor access, and the top floor features a huge studio room that could be used as a fitness suite, billiard room, home cinema or more bedrooms.

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.

The seven-year itch It’s seven years since Rampton Baseley opened its doors on Northcote Road. Cheryl Markosky checks out the newly ‘brand refreshed’ firm No Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin-style ‘conscious uncoupling’, then, for Patrick Rampton and Joel Baseley, the company directors behind indie agency Rampton Baseley.

Unlike the Coldplay singer and American actress’s split, seven years on this smart/casual (mercifully, they don’t wear suits and ties, standard stuffy apparel for many estate agents) ‘odd couple’ are still happily hitched.

“We’re quite different people, but when you combine the two of us you somehow come up with the right answer,” Joel explains. Unusually, Joel and Patrick do all property valuations together, which they believe results in a more balanced view.

So, where did it all go right? “We know our patch and people know us,” Patrick states simply. It also helps that Joel and Patrick are both locals. Patrick can be seen dropping off his seven-year-old daughter at Belleville School, while Joel’s at the gates of Marmalade Bear with his offspring, aged two and four.

Equally, they can’t walk down Northcote Road, the Marylebone High Street of the south, without having to stop and say hello to virtually every passer-by. Lunch at

Numero Uno with this feisty pair means being greeted fondly by octogenarian waiter Mario as celebrities dine nearby.

For Rampton Baseley’s landmark birthday, Joel and Patrick have spruced up the office in New England style with clean, light and bright whitewashed panelling, new parquet flooring and modish pendant lights. “It’s evolutionary, not revolutionary,” according to Patrick.

They’ve also sponsored Andrew Wilson to produce a pictorial-based book, Wild About Battersea, and a calendar. Some of Wilson’s eye-catching photographs of the area will hang on the freshly painted walls.

So, what’s changed over the past seven years?

Joel believes that sales to locals have halved, as more foreign buyers (via Kensington, Chelsea and even Islington) traverse the Thames to pick up property with more space and larger gardens for less money.

“We’re also seeing investors, who used to focus on flats, purchasing houses in school catchment areas.

With rents up 25 per cent on last year, it’s a no-brainer,” Patrick points out.

Another ooh-la-la alteration to the neighbourhood is increasing cross-Channel migration of French buyers

114

11/08/2014 14:17

LPR

and tenants. To reflect this new Continental trend, the website has been translated into French and Patrick can be observed attending a weekly French lesson. “And I’m polishing up my wine-drinking skills,” Joel chips in.

As the average house sale has now topped £1.4 million, it’s evident that Wandsworth, Battersea and Clapham have become more of a destination “not just for our new Gallic friends, but a wide range of people,” he suggests.

The south-western reaches of the capital appeal to City workers, the predominant demographic, “because they think it’s great to have a big garden, to be able to get back at the end of the day to see the kids, and to nip back easily for the school play,” adds Patrick.

Joel notes that downsizers used to venture down the A3 or to coastal spots, such as Brighton. But after selling the large family house (now worth about £4 million) off Wandsworth Common, they now prefer to stay in the area in a small cottage or flat.

Will Rampton Baseley continue to play a large part over the next seven years providing homes for citizens wanting to live south of the river? With impressive credentials of selling 40 per cent of all houses Between

south

the Commons last year (their nearest rival only sold 11 per cent), it seems so.

Patrick illuminates the rise and rise of Northcote Road and surrounding streets. “It’s not a ghost town, it’s a community. People actually live here, compared to other parts of the capital where people only sleep in their houses a few weeks a year and avoid taking part in local events.”

Extended space The kitchen has been extended into the side return and rear of an impressively refurbished Victorian house in Montholme Road, Between the Commons.

A box frame construction was used to avoid the need for structural pillars, creating a vast open plan space for cooking and entertaining or to use as an informal sitting room.

A double reception room with twin feature fireplaces, decorative ceiling mouldings and hardwood floors leads into the sleek white kitchen and family space, where concertina doors open out into a contemporary landscaped garden.

Three double bedrooms and a family bathroom are on the first floor and a fourth bedroom with en suite shower room is on the second. With total inside space of just under 2000 sq ft, the house offers the potential to extend further as many homeowners in the area add another storey to the rear extension or excavate the basement.

country view Special report

by Sarah Simmonds, associate director residential for Savills Cranbrook

T

he past few weeks have seen quite a number of changes to the local residential sales market in and around Cranbrook. After a cooling of the market in the early part of the year, there has been a resurgence in activity that has led to a wealth of new buyers who are ready, willing and most importantly able to buy.

London buyers currently account for half of our applicants. However, interestingly many have already relocated and are renting locally until a suitable property comes onto the market. The South East continues to attract London buyers with the Kent commuting belt one of the most popular servicing London.

More than 90 per cent of respondents to a survey of prime buyers carried out by Savills research chose quality of life as the most important reason for moving house, irrespective of whether they were looking to move to the heart of the countryside or into a city or town. The other overriding factors behind a move were to be near to schools, or buying a bigger or smaller property.

Understandably, outstanding schools continue to be a key factor for families who are looking to relocate so high performing senior schools such as Cranbrook and Benenden, prep schools such as Dulwich in Cranbrook and Saint Ronan’s and Marlborough House in Hawkhurst are a definite draw.

Demand for properties in this area of Kent remains consistently high, so much so that we have seen a definite imbalance between that demand and supply. However, as we head into late spring and early summer, we expect a wave of new instructions. Coupled with a majority of would-be buyers who are ready to move, we expect to see the local market continue to improve significantly in coming months.

country vibe James Lloyd of Savills Cranbrook takes South on a guided tour of his territory ATTRACTIONS With the distinctive white weatherboards on many of the houses, and the medieval layout of its streets and alleys, Cranbrook in Kent has maintained its wonderful history while growing to a bustling town in the heart of the Kentish Weald.

There is evidence of Cranbrook dating back to the 11th century with its church being built in the 13th century.

The buildings in the town are full of character and display all the elements of Wealden building: timber frames, weatherboard, stucco and the rarer and more local mathematical weathering that mimics brickwork.

RESTAURANTS AND PUBS There is an abundance of choice in and around Cranbrook, but the ones that spring to mind are the George Hotel and Brasserie and Michelin-starred restaurant Apicius, both in Stone Street, and in surrounding villages the Bull at Benenden and the Three Chimneys in Biddenden

SHOPS AND SERVICES The two main streets contain numerous enchanting and individual shops, far removed from the uniform stores found in most towns.

There are specialists in art materials, antiques and cheeses.

Galleries vie with unusual gift shops; a traditional ironmonger rubs shoulders with kitchen experts and a maker of bespoke lampshades. Travel agents, banks, accountants, solicitors and estate agents all contribute to the commercial life of Cranbrook.

SCHOOLS Cranbrook has both soughtafter state schools and many excellent private schools within easy reach. They include Cranbrook and Benenden Church of England primary schools, and the preparatory schools of St Ronan’s, Sutton Valance, Marlborough House and Dulwich.

Secondary schools include Benenden, Bethany, Goudhurst, Sutton Valance, High Weald Academy and the highly sought-after Cranbrook School, which is a selected state day and boarding school. There are also a number of well-regarded pre-schools and nurseries.

TOP STREETS The High Street (pictured) has many wonderful town houses that have a central position along with wonderful gardens. Superb surrounding villages such as Goudhurst, Benenden, Rolvenden, Sissinghurst, and Frittenden offer delightful period houses and many country houses tucked away in the meandering country lanes.

LEISURE There are the ever-popular cricket, rugby and football clubs. For those keen on golf, there’s the Hemsted Forest Golf Club. Wealden Sports Centre offers swimming, a gym and many fitness classes.

TRANSPORT Cranbrook is five miles from Staplehurst station with regular mainline services to London Bridge and London Victoria (from 52 minutes). The A21 is close and connects to the coast and the national motorway network.

Old meets new in Cobham countryside

S

itting on just over six acres and surrounded by beautiful countryside this Grade II listed farmhouse has been totally refurbished and extended creating a spacious new drawing room and a sumptuous master suite.

The new drawing room is a stunning, triple aspect space, which is filled with light and glass doors that open on to the garden with far-reaching views.

The original section of the house believed to date back to the 17th century, features four bedrooms and two bathrooms upstairs. Downstairs you will find a cloak room, study, dining room, family room and a very contemporary kitchen breakfast room with a large inglenook fireplace. All ground floor rooms have the benefit of under floor heating.

The entrance to this property has an abundance of natural light pouring in through two sets of glass doors placed directly opposite each other with one leading out to the rear terrace and gardens.

To one side of the reception access is provided to the more recent extended accommodation; to the other, one enters the older section of the former farmhouse with beautiful original beams and period wooden doors.

Apparent throughout is the free flow from one space to another, with multiple ground floor rooms leading

through to the next and a total of three separate staircases, two at opposite ends of the older part and one in the new extension, all offering quick access to the upper levels.

The layout of the house also means it effectively has two front doors and could be ideal for an extended family, housekeeper or au pair.

The Farmhouse is shielded by mature trees and has a detached triple garage, stable block and plenty of outdoor space for horses and ponies.

alham’s popularity continues to grow and we’ve seen it develop into a favourable location for young professionals and families looking for a well-located area with a village feel.

Areas around Bedford Hill and Hildreth Street, with their independent shops and market, have become increasingly popular for both daytime and evening activity and we’re finding many people particularly keen on living in this area.

The lettings market in Balham has evolved throughout 2014 and we’ve seen high levels of activity. Stock levels have varied greatly, sometimes moving from extremely low levels of supply to excess in a matter of days.

Activity in the sales market has been very influential on the lettings market. The first six months of 2014 saw record prices being achieved, and as a result, a number of investment landlords decided it was time to sell and cash in on strong capital growth.

This led to lower stock levels in the rental sector and further increased demand for rental properties as tenants were given notice by landlords looking to sell. As a result of this shortage of stock and increased demand, rental values saw a slight increase while marketing times decreased as properties became scarce.

More recently, and as we entered the summer season, we saw an influx of buy-to-let properties – particularly two-bedroom flats – coming back to the lettings market

with many new buy-to-let owners appearing. Many were first-time landlords requiring a little more guidance and advice, something we are well prepared for.

On the flip side, temporarily increased stock levels meant that savvy tenants quickly realised they had more options available to them and could potentially bargain with landlords. More recently and over the last few weeks, the market has returned back to normal conditions with stock moving very quickly and tenants finding they need to offer a high percentage of the asking price to secure their home.

Well-located one-bedroom garden flats have seen the highest levels of demand, along with two-bedroom premium properties, particularly those located in areas such as the Heaver Estate. One-bedroom flats here typically range from £1100 per month to £1650 per month, while two-bedroom properties can range greatly from £1300 per month up to £2700 per month. A family home will often cost upwards of £3000 per month.

Smaller, boutique developments and new-build homes in SW12 are becoming increasingly popular, with the most recent arrival located on Old Devonshire Road.

We have not seen large-scale schemes yet, something that perhaps maintains Balham’s community driven, village feel.

As the year continues and we enter the busy September market, we should continue to see steady pricing alongside good levels of activity.

the last word Shenagh Richardson, director of Savills Barnes, gives her answers to South

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

I started my career in property as a buying agent, but joined sales when I decided I preferred working in one place.

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

A recent highlight has been selling a beautiful house that had been in the same family since 1946.

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

Balancing people’s expectations following press reports of high prices can be challenging, especially when local markets present different realities.

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

There are many micro markets within the area, all with their own traits.

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

We expect there may be a slight pause in the market in the run up to and following the general election, before the market continues rising.

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

I would reduce stamp duty and bring back Home Information Packs.

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

Only do it if you are good with people.

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

Barnes is the best – lots of green spaces, village life and easy access into town and out. The perfect combination.

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

Being prepared is key. It is worthwhile having your mortgage agreed in principle and instructing your solicitor.

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

I would love to be an interior designer creating beautiful spaces and using the best ideas at home.
