Market view

A shortage of property and a lack of funding is not putting off buyers in a market where property is king, says housefinder Robert Bailey

It’s an incredibly frustrating market. To give you some examples, we have one client who’s looking for a flat in Holland Park with a budget of £3 million, another with a similar budget hunting in Chelsea, and yet another house-hunter with £10 million to spend in Belgravia. But, there’s almost nothing to show them.

Our clients’ requirements are reasonable: a wellpresented apartment in a portered block they can ‘lock up and leave’, as they own homes elsewhere.

However, the number of flats available that meet this criteria is dangerously low, and buyers clamour for the few that come onto the market.

This shortage is having an inevitable knock-on effect. Not only are prices of top-end flats being pushed up, but prices of mid-market flats are also being hiked, as buyers are forced to compromise.

Recently, we’ve seen price rises in Parsons Green, Pimlico and Islington – previously considered second-tier locations – as homebuyers expand their geographical searches.

To compound matters, no medium or large-scale developments are due to come onto the market in central London until next year at the earliest. With London now being lauded as ‘the new Monaco’ among the super-rich, demand will only continue to increase. At the end of last year, both Knight Frank and Savills predicted that capital values in London would begin to plateau in 2012, but nothing I’ve seen so far would suggest this. In fact, I think it could end up being a surprisingly good year for the London property market.

Of course, things cannot continue at this rate, but they’re not slowing down yet. Although the government’s trying to crack down on the Stamp Duty loophole allowing people to avoid paying tax by incorporating the property into a company, demand isn’t going to wane. The appetite for London property is growing, especially with Far Eastern buyers, so until equities or cash investments can rival the security and investment returns offered by property, London real estate will continue to be the choice of overseas buyers. Even when other investment vehicles start to offer similar profits, I think prime central London will still continue to thrive. It’s offering extraordinary returns, despite the recession and lack of finance.

Once people can finally obtain mortgages and there’s more consumer confidence, both mainstream and prime central London markets will benefit.

We’ll eventually find flats for our clients, but it’s not going to be easy. Fortunately, we have access to some off-market properties and have helped buyers get everything in order so they can move quickly once they see a property they like. They’ll probably still have to pay a premium to get what they want, but that’s the market we’re in where there are simply no bargains to be had. www.robertbaileyproperty.com 020 7352 0899

East-west shift Cheryl Markosky brings you the latest word on the streets London’s West End wealth sector is taking over from traditional City banks in the East as the prime property price driver, according to a new report from Savills.

When prime London houses prices rocketed in 2006 and 2007, traditional City bonuses were a clear contributor, with an estimated £8 billion of bonus cash pumped into the market. Until then, there’d been a strong link between house price movements in the capital and bonus payments, but that link is now broken and the market’s dependency on City bonuses is much reduced.

New analysis from Savills states: “The value of prime London’s real estate is now being driven by international equity with cash from what they dub the ‘West End financial sector’ (the private offices and hedge funds of Mayfair rather than the banks in the Square Mile) playing an increasingly important role in domestic cash purchases.”

For 2012, Savills forecasts that just over £1 billion in bonus equity will flow into the market and the total net injection of all equity (domestic and overseas) – at just over £6.5 billion – will fall slightly short of the £7.2 billion seen in 2011. International buyers are expected to remain the dominant force at around £4 billion, with non-City based domestic equity increasing to around £1.5 billion.

Paul Williams of Savills Islington comments: “We had four houses come to the market in January with a guide price north of £1.5 million, and all houses had

asking price offers on the weekend of launch. They have all been agreed through best bids. One bidder had failed 12 times last year when bidding, but finally won his bid for a property.”

Williams regards this as a positive sign for the market and shows that even at this early point in the year, and with a shortage of stock, there are still plenty of motivated buyers out there, although it’s too early to tell how much influence bonus buyers will have on the market.

“Historically, London has shown the potential to perform when new equity is generated in the capital, not just from the stock market and banking activity, but through IPOs, mergers, acquisitions and other activity. We’re seeing signs that international wealth can be replaced by new equity, particularly from private offices and hedge funds,” he adds.

His colleague Lauren Ireland at Savills Canary Wharf argues that although Wapping and Canary Wharf have seen lower levels of growth than prime markets of central and SW London, prices rose by 4.6 per cent last year, underpinned by a lack of new-build stock coming to the market.

“Investors, including those from outside Britain, have been an important driver, though they remain conscious of the need to achieve strong yields in the current environment,” Ireland points out.

“One development offering good value for money for investors is City Tower.

Service charges are very low, yet it’s only a short distance from the Jubilee Line and Crossharbour DLR. There’s also been a resurgence of buy-to-let investors in Discovery Dock.”

Northampton Grove: Possible Olympic buy-to-let, if you’re quick off the blocks

On your marks, get set, buy!

The East End is experiencing strong demand from people wanting to buy in time for the Olympics, suggests John Saville, regional sales director at Felicity J Lord.

“E3 is a real growth location and I’ve witnessed this first-hand at Bow Trinity, a quality development of studios, one, two and three-bedroom apartments priced from £167,500 to £325,000 appealing to keen owner-occupiers who are buying offplan,” he explains.

“A potent combination of contemporary design, convenient location and unusually affordable price tag is making Bow Trinity extremely popular with increasing numbers of first-time buyers and young professionals looking to buy in the East End.” Saville points out that Bow Trinity’s central location takes full advantage of excellent transport links in the vicinity, including Mile End tube station for Central Line connections to the City in five minutes, as well as Devons Road DLR for direct links to Canary Wharf in 10 minutes.

“The area’s seen considerable investment and redevelopment over the past few years, and once finished, this regeneration will help further lift values in the area and attract fresh buyers to the East End,” adds Saville (020 8981 3666).

Felicity J Lord’s Islington branch (020 7288 1681) is also selling a £680,000 twobedroom Victorian home in Northampton

Grove that will be attractive to young couples, families or even investors keen to put their money into this sector of the capital.

This end-of-row terrace house located on a quiet cul-de-sac features a large open-plan reception room with a large sash window to the front, good-sized kitchen and breakfast room and two double bedrooms, both of which have retained their period fireplaces. There’s also a walled courtyard to the rear. For those quick off the blocks, this could also be the ideal place to rent to visitors flocking to the Olympics this summer.

2012 kicks off with confidence After a quiet final quarter last year, Cory Askew from Chesterton Humberts Canary Wharf and Docklands office says 2012 started with a real boom.

“New buyer registrations and existing purchasers who’ve been in a cautious holding pattern are all back and fighting over the small amount of available stock,” he says. “All price ranges seem to have benefited from this surge in demand, but particularly the £400,000 to 500,000 and £1 million-plus brackets.”

In addition to a steady level of overseas investors, in particular those from the Far East, Askew’s also seen a dramatic increase in the number of home-grown buy-to-let enthusiasts growing restless with the poor returns they’re getting from stocks and bonds.

Offset is a top choice

money matters TRUSTING A GOOD DEED According to official figures, it takes first-time buyers up to 22 years to save a deposit for a house or flat, so growing number of friends are clubbing together and buying jointly.

Many banks and building societies are happy to lend to up to four people buying together, but what happens if things go wrong and friends fall out or their circumstances change and they decide to sell up, because of a job move or to get married?

Resolving disputes between unmarried co-owners can be a complex, costly and very lengthy process, as they argue over who is entitled to what, but it need not be. Drawing up a simple and inexpensive deed of trust can avoid problems when the time comes to sell. Many conveyancing solicitors offer such deeds as standard and they cost as little as £120 – a small price to pay for peace of mind and certainty in what is, for most people, the biggest purchase of their lives.

Deeds can cover anything from setting out the amount each person is entitled to and who is responsible for bills, such as service charges and buildings insurance, as well as when or whether one party can buy out another and at what price, but all parties can add their own clauses. Experts advise friends to imagine the worst possible scenario and include contingencies in their deed.

Borrowers can use savings or cash to cut interest, reports Duncan Farmer account to reduce the amount they pay in mortgage interest. Although people with an offset loan do not earn interest on their savings element, the saving in interest payments on the loan is far greater than anything available on deposit. And you don’t have to pay tax on it.

“The main reason for their popularity is the tax,” says Mark Harris, managing director of Savills Private Finance. “An offset mortgage is effectively grossing your savings interest up. For example, if you have an offset mortgage and you are paying three per cent you are effectively receiving that interest net on your savings giving you a gross equivalent of 50 per cent more than that (assuming you are a 50% tax payer). Additionally when you offset money against your mortgage you retain the ownership of that money as opposed to paying down a mortgage and

House prices in the City and its fringes rose in January by 0.8 per cent, keeping pace with prime central London, and this trend looks set to continue, according to Charlie Hart, head of Knight Frank City and East team.

“We expect the earning power of the traditional local demographic to grow with the continuing success of the London tech and creative industries that have traditionally populated this fringe area,” he says. “The scarcity of property will drive demand and therefore pricing for the foreseeable future, enabling the City and City fringe to sustain prime central London pricing levels.”

Choosing a mortgage is always difficult, but one product that remains popular with buyers at the top end of the market is the offset mortgage, which allows borrowers to use their savings or cash in their current

then not having access to the money again.”

A borrower with a £500,000 offset loan who links it to £100,000 of their savings would pay mortgage interest on only £400,000. At an interest rate of 4.38 per cent, that equates to a monthly ‘saving’ of £550 in interest payments. And borrowers can either add to their savings or, if they need the money, withdraw funds from it. With the interest payments calculated daily, every deposit you make works hard immediately to reduce the cost of borrowing.

For most offset mortgages, your savings will be kept in a separate account but, as it’s with the same provider as your mortgage, the savings will be linked to your mortgage for the purposes of interest calculation.

Current account mortgages work in a similar way, offsetting positive cash balances in your account against the level of debt owed on your mortgage – the greater the balance in

your current account, the lower the monthly repayments. But because all balances are held in one account, it will always have a huge negative balance, which can be quite daunting.

Interest rates on offset loans are marginally higher than on standard variable rate loans – the best on the market, according to Charcol, is a two-year tracker loan from Coventry building society with an initial rate of 2.89 per cent, reverting to a variable rate of 4.74 per cent for the rest of the term. By comparison, a NatWest Large Loan mortgage has an initial rate of 2.79 per cent fixed until September 2013, when it reverts to a standard variable rate of 4 per cent.

Crucially with current account mortgages, borrowers need to be disciplined and make sure they keep track of their spending.

Westminster high rises While house prices in England and Wales fell by 1.3 per cent last year to an average of £160,000, the price of houses in London and surrounding counties rose by 2.8 per cent to an average of £345,000, according to the Land Registry.

The rise in London prices is a reflection not only of the capital’s stability and popularity in spite of economic woes, but also because buyers generally put down larger deposits on new homes and therefore find it easier to find a mortgage.

By contrast, in the North East of England house prices dropped by an average of 7.1 per cent, reflecting the dual problems of mortgage rationing and rising unemployment.

The biggest rise in prices was recorded in Westminster (up nine per cent) and Kensington and Chelsea (up by seven per cent), but in Newham prices fell by three per cent. Estate agents say that prices in central London have been boosted

by foreign buyers who have moved their wealth out of countries such as Greece, Italy and Spain in search of a safer home, as they try to avoid the crisis in the eurozone.

Queensbridge Quarter QQ2 at Queensbridge Quarter in Dalston is the latest collection of cutting-edge homes by niche London developer United House.

Designed by architects Levitt Bernstein, the second phase of the scheme offers 76 homes: 22 three and four-bedroom family townhouses and 54 one and twobedroom apartments and penthouses.

The townhouses bring a fresh take on the traditional urban terraced house, breathing life back into a formerly rundown streetscape. External design features natural, unfinished materials, bright white render and timber.

Interiors are full of natural light with floor-to-ceiling glazed windows to the main living areas. Contemporary kitchens and bathrooms have high-spec appliances, and the large bedrooms have fitted wardrobes. Many of the townhouses feature French windows that open out onto terraces and outside space.

The family homes feature extensive glazing to minimise the need for daytime lighting, extra-thick walls and roofs for increased heat efficiency, draught lobbies to reduce heat loss and provide extra storage space for growing families, and generous open plan living spaces with high quality finishes.

Dalston Junction station, recently opened, on the East London line is five minutes’ walk from the development and provides direct links to Bishopsgate and the City.

The Word Special report by Steve Whyte of Anderson Rose You will no doubt have read a substantial amount of coverage relating to the forthcoming Olympic festival, and the various theories on the possible positive effect on the short lets market throughout London, along with the worryingly negative effect on the capital’s road and rail networks.

We are, of course, more qualified to comment on the former, and have for some time now been fielding enquiries from homeowners in the City and Docklands areas who have been eager to know what the market might offer them.

Estimates for visitors staying in London for the Games give us some insight into the likely demand for accommodation, with numbers of up to 450,000 being quoted. Many of the additional 5.5 million day visitors will also require accommodation. The inevitable shortage of available hotel rooms will therefore create a demand for the short term leasing of vacant residential properties.

As early as last August, theories abounded as to how much clients might be able to charge for letting their properties during the Games. Some were suggesting astronomical prices, while others had a

slightly more conservative outlook.

The Olympics, however, is a one-off event of such extravagant proportion that we were breaking new ground in valuing, without any precedent or record to refer to. Although we understood that in theory there would be interest, our clients could not realise the true value of their property until a booking was made. We were conscious to keep an open mind while suggesting prices that appeared to be realistic rather than overtly optimistic.

I am happy to report that this has paid handsome dividends as we recorded our first secured booking in January to a South African family, and have since taken a number of further enquiries for other clients who have made their properties available between 17 July and 9 September.

The sheer weight of visitor numbers set to descend on London for the Olympics suggests there will be a window of opportunity to take advantage of an uplift in the short lets sector. However, that time is fast approaching.

REVIEW

Contemporary in Canonbury A contemporary mews house newly created in the Upper Street North conservation area is one of two homes developed from the shell of a 19th century commercial building.

South of Highbury Corner and Highbury Fields, the four-bedroom property in quiet Compton Avenue was formed by carving into the existing structure to produce hollowed-out light wells and cutouts.

Total inside living space of 2030 sq ft is designed around a series of protected, private and intimate outside spaces, including a patio garden on the ground floor, and two terraces – one off the first floor reception and the other off the second floor master bedroom.

The ground floor features a Leicht fitted kitchen and open dining area with floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors leading out onto the private patio. This level includes a family bathroom, study or fourth bedroom, and useful storage space.

On the second floor are two bedrooms and another bathroom, and the property also offers a Sonos sound system, and both hardwood and stone flooring. The freehold house comes with a 10-year BLP guarantee.

Close to Canonbury Square, Compton Avenue runs behind Compton Terrace and is handy for the bars, restaurants and boutiques of Upper Street. Highbury and Islington station is a short walk away.

REVIEW

Divine house looks out at Four Weddings priory The church of St Bartholomew the Great in West Smithfield was the location for the fourth wedding in the 1994 blockbuster movie Four Weddings And A Funeral.

In the movie, the church is known as St Julian’s and wedding number four is called off after Hugh Grant’s character Charles has second thoughts at the altar. His bride-no-longer-to-be makes her feelings clear by punching him in the face.

The only surviving part of an Augustinian priory founded in 1123, St Bartholomew the Great also starred as Nottingham Cathedral in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, and had supporting roles in films such as Shakespeare In Love, Elizabeth: The Golden Age, and The Other Boleyn Girl.

A three-bedroom house currently to let in historic Cloth Fair has 1700 sq ft of living space on four floors and looks out at the sacred celebrity house of worship. The property has three

bedrooms, an L-shaped reception and dining room, and a mezzanine family room and study.

Impressively refurbished, the house includes contemporary comforts such as smart bathrooms, a high gloss kitchen with Neff and Miele appliances, and independently controlled air conditioning.

There’s a centrally controlled and integrated Opus media system, and entry phone points on each floor. The house also features a vaulted ceiling and has a private garage.

REVIEW

Olympic gains Only two tube stations from the Olympic site and the new Westfield Stratford City shopping centre, a Grade II listed house in Stepney Green opens onto a secure mews-style courtyard.

The five-bedroom early Georgian house in a private gated development, fronted by its own walled garden, has almost 2750 sq ft of inside space plus a garden and two protected parking spaces. The elegant rooms have high ceilings, with the main rooms panelled.

Master bedroom and drawing room both have original shutters.

On the top floor are three bedrooms – two with excellent storage space – and a bathroom. The first floor has

two large bedrooms with en suite bathrooms, and the master also has a dressing area.

On the raised ground floor, a hallway leads to the drawing room: three windows wide, superb for entertaining and overlooking the garden and the green. Also on this floor is a grand dining room with four tall windows.

The lower ground floor includes a large traditional kitchen with Aga, and to the rear is another reception room with views over the garden.

Said to be in ‘excellent order’ throughout, the apartment includes a fitted kitchen and has a 986-year lease. Clerkenwell’s bars and restaurants are on the doorstep and Farringdon station is a short walk away.

REVIEW BARBICAN

Court in a small Monumental cobbled street Laurence Pountney Lane, a small cobbled street off Canon Street, is named after St Laurence Church – destroyed in the Great Fire of London – and Sir John de Poulteney, who was four times Lord Mayor in the 14th century.

Currently to let at Brook Court, off this historic little street, is a five-storey (including basement), two-bedroom period townhouse. Its hub is a huge contemporary kitchen, tiled throughout and boasting all mod cons such as a stainless steel oven and four gas

hobs, extractor fan, fridge freezer, and dishwasher.

Now for decoration only, there’s a marble fireplace on every floor. Both the double bedrooms have fitted wardrobes and a luxury white-tiled en suite bathroom, and the home includes a large basement and multiroom audio system.

Located at podium level, with its own front door leading off the podium, a one-bedroom flat at The Postern has superb views of St Giles Church, the lake, and the Barbican Centre beyond.

Close to Moorgate, the Barbican apartment has around 435 sq ft of space that includes a re-fitted kitchen and a re-fitted shower room.

The aspect is westerly.

Shard views are a Quay selling point Now complete, an extensive three-year renovation project at a sixth and seventh floor penthouse at Shearwater Court has increased the home’s living space by almost a third of the original floor print.

This four-bedroom City Quay property delivers spectacular and far-reaching 360-degrees views across the City, from the Gherkin to the newly built Shard, and has seven terraces – five overlooking St Katharine Docks.

On the top floor, a lavish reception has a Burr walnut backdrop spanning the rear wall of the apartment and continuing down to the sixth floor next to the open glass staircase. The main reception flows through to a second reception and dining room with solid oak wood flooring.

The bespoke kitchen has floor-to-ceiling windows, with fully retractable sliding doors, looking out at St Katharine Docks. Composite stone worktops over the centre island and kitchen units complement the limestone tiled flooring.

Below on six, a lit hallway leads to all rooms. The cinema room, with soundproofed floor-to-ceiling glass from the lower hallway, is designed by Environ Audio and features a 60-inch TV and drop-down projector with built-in THX audio system.

Hand-built by Concept Interiors, all four bedrooms have bespoke beds and en suite bathrooms. The master suite’s bathroom features Italian black marble, a Teuco Jacuzzi bath, and a Dornbracht rain shower. The two main bedrooms have dressing rooms.

One central remote control unit can simultaneously manage the Anna Sbokou designer lighting, built-in sound systems, and the temperatures of every room.

The apartment includes underfloor heating with backup ventilation heating and air conditioning.
