ask the expert… …sales manager

Q

What do I need to do to win a sealed bid?

Paul Herring, sales manager of Kinleigh Folkard & Hayward Balham, replies ...

A

In the current market more properties are being sold by sealed bids. In most cases, buyers are asked to submit their ‘best and final’ bid in writing, after which all offers are considered by the vendor and agent and the winning buyer chosen.

Many people assume that in a sealed bids scenario, you need to offer the highest amount, but often this just isn’t the case. Sellers are primarily concerned with how ‘proceedable’ a buyer is – that is, the likelihood of the sale going through to completion.

When you are asked to make a sealed bid, there are a few things to bear in mind that will ensure your offer is taken seriously: • Provide details of how you are purchasing the property. If you need a mortgage, provide a copy of your ‘agreement in principle’. If you have a property to sell, provide the status of that sale. Or if you are a cash buyer, proof of cleared funds helps greatly.

• Attempt to find out from the agent as much as possible about the seller. Developers will be looking for the person who can conduct the purchase the quickest while offering the highest price. If individuals are selling the property, it is helpful to know who they are and what their circumstances are. For instance, if you are prepared to wait for the seller to find somewhere to buy, rather than being in a hurry, this can often be a huge benefit.

• Add a personal touch. Provide details about the future use of the property (family home, for example), especially if you’re buying from sellers similar to yourself. I’ve seen sellers accept lower offers because they liked the letter accompanying a sealed bid about a family who wanted to live there.

• Offer an unusual number. This ensures you won’t be offering the same price as someone else and also shows you have given a lot of thought to what the property is worth and what you are prepared to pay.

It’s worth offering the most you can afford and that you think the property is worth.

• Finally, deliver your bid just before the deadline and always call to check it has been received.

At Jacksons, we understand that exceptional properties demand exceptional treatment.

The kind of treatment you get with Jacksons Premier.

marketview You generally place excellent schools, transport and shops at the top of your wish list when hunting for a home, says Cheryl Markosky.

B

ut you might also want to check whether a Waitrose will be opening in the area. According to new research from Savills, a branch of the upperscale supermarket near where your residence sits could boost its value by up to 50 per cent.

Alex Howard-Baker, joint head of Savills Putney, believes the introduction of a Waitrose definitely brings with it a certain cache and an associated lift in prices.

“It’s usually the sign of an area’s broader regeneration and revival, and very often hails the arrival of other high-end shops. Properties close to Waitrose therefore benefit exponentially from this status, combined with the convenience of living close by,” he says.

Whether a Waitrose can actually add 50 per cent to the price tag of a home is debatable. George Franks, sales director at Douglas & Gordon, says he’s currently witnessing an uplift in property values near a Waitrose of approximately 3 to 5 per cent.

“The Waitrose phenomenon has resulted in a sad departure of the tired looking corner shop and been replaced with the exclusive ‘Little Waitrose’, which as far as looks and convenience goes is incredibly appealing to buyers looking at houses a few streets away,” Franks reports.

Every place there is a Waitrose, there appears to be a ready-made community, he adds. “This is especially appealing to buyers who cannot afford to buy where their friends bought a few years ago, and are now having to broaden their search to places less familiar.”

John Shaikh-McKenna, managing director of Century 21 in Battersea, explains that the Waitrose effect is more of a reflection of the demands of affluent areas.

“It is true that the presence of a Waitrose store is a visible stamp of approval for the aspirations of the area and its residents, but stores are generally opened where this prosperity has already been established,” he points out.

“Similar could be said of high-end car dealerships or restaurants, but no one dynamic or brand influences property prices on its own. It is a combination of these that encourages a sense of wealth. Often good schools and proximity to transport have a greater effect.”

village vibe Jonathan Loney, manager of John D Wood & Co Southfields, takes South on a guided tour of Southfields ATTRACTIONS The famous Wimbledon Park is on our doorstep offering a vast array of activities for all the family, ranging from the boating lake to crazy golf, beach volleyball and – of course – tennis.

SHOPS The Delicious Deli provides all those ingredients you are looking for when having that impromptu lunch or dinner party.

Chanteroy, the French deli, makes the best baguettes and draws regulars from far afield to travel to pick up their own favourite.

De Rosier Chocolate & Coffee Shop on Revelstoke Road serves a proper cup of coffee, and customers can buy homemade chocolates for all occasions.

TOP STREETS Edwardian houses of the Southfields Grid have been synonymous with Southfields for generations. The Gardens area of Southfields affords larger houses, some backing on to the private tennis club or the park itself. Combemartin Road and Skeena Hill offer those rare attributes of off-street parking and gardens in excess of 100ft, well above the London average.

Italian cuisine. If you prefer something spicier, there’s the award winning Namada Indian restaurant on Replingham Road, along with Triphal Indian restaurant and Nilima Tandoori. The Thai Girder, also on Replingham Road, is a much-loved local favourite, and the Old Garage is the only pub on the high street and offers an everchanging menu.

LEISURE As well as the leisure amenities at Wimbledon Park, there is Nuffield Gym in King George’s Park. On the site of Southfields Academy you will find Aspire, which offers numerous facilities including a swimming pool, soccer pitches, fitness and dance studios, adult and family learning and much more.

SCHOOLS Families have been drawn to Southfields for its excellent schools, and Sheringdale and Wimbledon Park primary have always had a large following. St. Michael’s Church of England School also has a large following, while St Cecelia’s on Sutherland Grove provides secondary school education in a great setting.

TRANSPORT Southfields tube station is central to the village providing a District Line service into town. Earlsfield overland station is a mile away, as is the A3 providing access down to the coast.

RESTAURANTS AND PUBS There are plenty of small independent restaurants including Rubino and the Olive Garden, both offering

the word Special report by Tony McVeigh, managing director of Jacksons Estate Agents Lessons to be learned from the new boom

A

cross the wide spectrum that is the London housing market, the last six months has seen us witness a meteoric change in all aspects of estate agency.

From lettings and property management to sales, 18-year-old records at Jacksons have been broken month after month as we continue to spread our net wider across South West London.

According to the latest figures, property in the area is being bought at the fastest pace since the peak of the housing boom in 2007. And demand is such that homes are selling more than twice as quickly as the average 8.6 weeks needed for property across the country overall, according to the Hometrack study.

The figures also show that sellers are achieving more than 96 per cent of the asking price — the highest proportion for six years — while prices also rose fastest, growing by 0.9 per cent for the second month in a row.

While this is all fantastic for Jacksons and its customers, what information and lessons can be gained from these facts and how do we see the market changing?

Firstly, it is largely inevitable that there would be changes to the sales market. After many years of a market that was seasonal at best and

darn hard work at worst, it is no surprise to see large increases in property values and a huge rise in the numbers of property purchasers who are registering with our offices.

The demographic of buyers is also on the increase. Only two years ago the majority of purchasers would have already bought a property previously, or were lucky enough to wield a very high deposit in order to secure lending.

As these lending restrictions have slackened, the types of buyers we see have changed almost overnight, leading to many more options for your average property seller, a surge in the number of properties being sold, and a dearth in property numbers as a result.

Such changes in the types of buyers we see has led to a rise in the numbers of firsttime buyers, buy-to-let investors and property developers coming back to the market once again. This has a far-reaching impact and one that is only good for homeowners and the market as a whole.

This confidence in housing as an investment is very good for the lettings market. While we tend to see more properties coming onto the market and fewer tenants registering with us, this is a prime market for those who are experts in lettings, rather than those companies

bestbites

celebrity watch The modern home that eminent architect Richard Rogers designed for his parents in the late 1960s, opposite Wimbledon Common, is on the market for the first time.

For sale at £3.2m, four-bedroom Rogers House with separate housekeeper’s flat and studio was built by Rogers and his former wife Su. Still owned by the Rogers family, the property was Grade II* listed by English Heritage in February.

Culture minister Ed Vaizey described the house as ‘a masterpiece from one of the most imaginative and exciting periods in private house building’.

who added lettings to their services when times were tough.

A rise in property numbers and a drop in tenants lends itself to agents with large portfolios and the skill to navigate such a market and, more importantly, companies that have gained experience from such markets before.

Once again such times are very good for landlords as long as they pick the right agent.

Having been in the estate agency industry for over 25 years, I can confidently say I have witnessed all market types at first hand.

The first six months of 2013 show that we are now involved in a sustainable, productive and rising housing market. This will benefit not simply a select few, but will continue to retain a certain measure of restraint to benefit homeowners, buyers, tenants and landlords alike.

heads-up

Keeping you informed about property news and events in your area

Nine Elms milestones Nine Elms on the South Bank, the £15 billion transformational area between Lambeth Bridge and Chelsea Bridge and one of the largest regeneration areas in Europe, has been celebrating two major milestones in its development.

Battersea Power Station officially broke ground, at a ceremony attended by Prime Minister David Cameron and Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak to mark the site’s first development in more than 30 years.

Also, as the first phase of Riverlight by St James nears completion, London Mayor Boris Johnson oversaw the topping out ceremony (pictured).

Riverlight was one of the first redevelopments to get under way, and first residents move in the middle of next year.

These two major milestones come on the back of the agreement by Nine Elms Vauxhall Strategy Board to launch a co-ordinated approach to delivering jobs for Lambeth and Wandsworth residents.

Furniture moves South Barker and Stonehouse, the UK’s largest independent family-run furniture retailer, has opened its first London store in Battersea. The 25,000 sq ft store at the old Price’s candle factory on York Road is the company’s ninth since it began trading in Stockton-on-Tees in 1946.

Supporting Squirrels

Ping pong

Lets move

A lively team from Savills Wimbledon office joined in all the fun of Squirrels Preparatory School Summer Fair, an annual event backed by the estate agent as main sponsor. The office also sponsored Rowans School Summer Fair and took part in Wimbledon Village Fair.

Clive Moon, head of Savills Wimbledon, said: “We were thrilled to be involved with three very important local events. Each was a fantastic opportunity to meet up with clients old and new, and we cannot stress enough the importance of being involved in the community.”

Hamptons International’s Jonathan Dyson (centre), chairman of Northcote Business Network, plays ping pong with Matt Shearing (left) of All Good Gifts and Cllr Peter Dawson on the community tables at Northcote Road Summer Fete.

Eloise Fraser has joined Savills Clapham Lettings after two years working in the prime central London market. She is part of a growing team covering four Savills offices at Nightingale Lane, Northcote Road, Battersea and Wandsworth.

Mad Hatters Tea Party Head teacher Chris Lilley was the Queen of Hearts at Swaffield Primary School’s Mad Hatters Tea Party, sponsored by John D Wood & Co. The event raised £5250 for school funds.

Changing landscape The landscape of Elephant and Castle is changing as Southwark Council’s flagship regeneration project progresses.

Foundations recently emerged for a new public leisure centre on an extensive site next to the reconfigured southern roundabout, the Tabernacle Church and St Mary’s churchyard.

Construction company Balfour Beatty is currently on site preparing the ground for the next steps.

Due to open in 2015, the leisure centre will include a six-lane, 25-metre swimming pool, learner pool, four-court sports hall, gym, exercise studios, crèche and cafe. The front of the same site, will feature a new residential building fronting St Mary’s churchyard.

Pictured, from left, are: Councillors Fiona Colley, cabinet member for regeneration; Veronica Ward, cabinet member for culture, leisure, sport, the Olympic legacy and volunteering; and Southwark Council leader Peter John.

Commons competition Limited stock for sale Between the Commons has prompted a surge in competition from buyers at every level. Many are completing transactions within three weeks of a property coming on to the market, reports Cluttons.

“Sealed bids are becoming the norm, especially for family homes up to £2m,” says Cluttons Clapham associate Stephanie Mant. “Recently a family home close to Honeywell School received 68 viewings with a sealed bid date set at the onset of marketing, resulting in 20 bids being received. The property sold for significantly over the asking price.”

Clapham is also growing in popularity among people moving out of nearby Chelsea and Fulham to seek better value for money. “City professionals are coming to the market with sizeable budgets of up to £3.5m, targeting period properties on one of the area’s leafy roads,” says Stephanie.

EPCs have run out of energy – should they be scrapped?

Tom Butler, sales manager of Sheraton Law

Embassy impact Rental prices in South West London are forecast to rise by another 26.4 per cent in the next five years, according to research by Savills.

“This is partly due to the arrival of the American and Dutch embassies at Nine Elms, which will add a certain gloss to these already successful areas,” says Savills. The estate agent also reports that 35 per cent of tenants in Clapham in 20112012 were from overseas, and this figure looks set to rise.

Will it make or break my house sale? The answer is no. Most vendors and buyers know that while a report may vary slightly, you will generally find that an older period house will have a low rating, while a newbuild property will be very efficient.

Contrary to what people have tried to claim in the past, EPCs do not increase the value of a property if very efficient, or cause a property to lose value if low. At a time when buying or selling a property is difficult enough, surely the Government should not be complicating the matter with needless reports?

James Weston, manager of John D Wood & Co Wandsworth EPCs are a good idea in theory but not necessarily in practice. I do not know of a single person who has changed their decision to buy a property because of the EPC rating, so I don’t understand why they need to be part of the sales process.

We are all interested in reducing our power usage and making our homes more economical, especially with such high energy costs and the possibility of power shortages by the middle of the decade.

A country house in London D

esigned by celebrated English architect M H Baillie Scott, Oakfield was originally two lodges with a connecting arch, built in 1929. It led to a large mansion, also called Oakfield and designed by Scott, on a seven-acre estate on the edge of Wimbledon Village.

Born in Kent, Scott designed the decoration for the palace of the Grand Duke of Hesse at Darmstadt before making his name as a leading Arts and Crafts architect praised for his domestic work. “His planning was ingenious, with spaces freely flowing into each other,” writes James Stevens Curl in his Oxford Dictionary of Architecture.

Scott was renowned for his attention to detail, which can be seen at Oakfield in handsome external elevations and internal features such as the belfry, study fireplaces, small dining room, oak staircases, doors and other timberwork.

You approach the property via a long and private gated drive, shared with one other house, and on through its own gated driveway. It has a distinct country feel and features meticulously maintained landscaped gardens – watered by irrigation system – with neat lawns, borders and beds stocked with mature trees and shrubs. There are brick-paved paths and sitting areas for sunbathing and barbecues.

A glazed pool room contains a 33ft heated swimming pool with direct access from the house, and there’s a hard tennis court at the side. The property has a double garage, plenty of driveway parking, and CCTV security.

Total inside space of more than 6600 sq ft on two floors, plus loft storage, includes six bedrooms, five bath or shower rooms (four en suite), three receptions, sitting room with kitchenette, kitchen and breakfast room, conservatory, and galleried hall.

Driving lesson

£

Anyone following the financial press recently would have read countless stories of mortgage rates – in particular, fixes – tumbling thanks to the Funding for Lending Scheme. Lenders have launched aggressively priced products at historic lows.

It is human nature for borrowers to want the best rate possible, and to wait and see if something better comes along. However, the rationale for that game has gone. The potential for further reductions, while still possible, is negligible, while the potential for rates to go up is substantial.

Furthermore, the cost of capital (where some lenders obtain money to lend from) in recent weeks has increased. Whether this is a blip or a continuing trend has yet to be seen.

Borrowers, whether purchasing or looking to remortgage, should take comfort from the fact that any fixed rate secured now should be the lowest for many years to come.

More good news for buyers and sellers, reports Duncan Farmer

N

ews that house prices have risen by almost every measure – Land Registry, Nationwide and Halifax indices also show positive growth – is coupled with data from the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors showing that transactions are rising too.

There is unanimous agreement that both the availability of mortgages and the cost of borrowing are the drivers of this continued good news for buyers and sellers alike. Homeowners who decide to stay put are also taking advantage of low rates, and figures also show that borrowers are switching to more competitive loans at an increasing rate.

A glance at our Best Buy tables on these pages shows just what is on offer.

Halifax tops the tables with a rate of 1.89 per cent fixed for two years, which then reverts to 3.9 per cent. This is aimed at the higher end of the market, with a minimum loan of £200,000, but buyers must have a deposit of at least 40 per cent to take advantage.

Hot on Halifax’s heels comes First Direct, part of the global giant HSBC, which has a five-year fixed rate of 2.49 per cent, reverting to 3.69 per cent in 2018.

There is no minimum loan size, the deposit required is a generous 35 per cent and the only downside is the comparatively high arrangement fee of £1999.

When comparing loans it is always important to take account of these fees, as they can distort the real value of any deal,

Weather to buy Figures from the Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML) recorded gross mortgage lending of £14.7 billion in May, up 21 per cent on the previous month and 17 per cent higher than in May last year.

The CML says that the figures reflect a boost from the Government’s Funding for Lending scheme and Help to Buy, which gives struggling borrowers an equity loan. But part of the reason the numbers look so good against March and April is down to something more mundane – the great British weather.

“Our forward estimate does imply somewhat stronger house purchase activity than we had been expecting, says Bob Pannell, chief economist at the CML. “This may reflect a degree of pent up sales following the extended spell of poor weather earlier this year.”

and this is especially true of borrowers taking out a relatively small loan. Hinckley & Rugby Building Society’s five-year deal at 3.65 per cent, for example, has an arrangement fee of a more modest £890 – and borrowers need put down only 20 per cent.

The other beauty of the offers published is that all allow borrowers to pay at least a certain amount of their loan early without penalty. In these times of very low interest rates, but with the threat of them rising within the next five years, it makes sound economic sense to clear as much of a loan as possible before rates do rise.

The advantage is obvious: when the inevitable increase does kick in, the amount of the outstanding loan will be lower and, therefore, so will the increase in monthly repayments. My advice to both new borrowers and those remortgaging is to pay off as much as you can afford when can afford to. Not only will you have eased the pain of a future rate rise and increased the amount of equity you own in your home, but the rate of interest spare cash would have earned on deposit is almost always likely to be far lower than the rate paid on borrowings – and there’s no tax to pay on it.

Warren Buffett, the legendary investor whose wealth is second only to that of Bill Gates, said the best advice he could give to private investors is to pay their mortgage off early.

LOOKING FOR

Fixed rates hit bottom Mortgage brokers may have been guilty in the past of predicting the bottom of the lowcost fixed-rate market too early, but now they could be right. Ray Boulger is among the 75 per cent of brokers who believe fixed rates have gone as low as they can.

“The message for consumers is that if you want a fixed rate mortgage there is nothing to be gained by waiting and a very real risk you will end up paying more if you do,” said Boulger.

His warning comes on the back of a leap in US swap rates, which determine the longterm cost of borrowing, and was caused by announcement from the Federal Reserve that it was reducing its programme of quantitative easing. Boulger says that should encourage borrowers to look beyond two-year fixes and opt for five or even ten-year deals.

Loan-to-value ratios increase Lenders expect the supply of high loan-to-value mortgages to increase in the next three months, which is good news for borrowers with small deposits.

The Bank of England’s credit conditions index asked banks and other lenders to consider current conditions and predict future trends, and the response was that the availability of mortgages had increased in the second quarter of the year with lenders predicting further increases in the next three months.

Lenders reported that average loan-to-value ratios had risen, and they were planning to increase their lending at 90 per cent in the third quarter.

Developer’s house is three homes in one Converting flats back into one house was a labour of love, says Cheryl Markosky

I

t’s one thing to track down a quality project carried out by a good developer. But if you discover that the original intention was for the developer to live in the house himself, you’re really onto a winner.

A conversion in Old Park Avenue, just off Nightingale Lane, that was meant to be the home of Jeremy Clarke from Parkgate Developments London, is now on the market.

Clarke has turned three flats in a large Victorian semi-detached house, in a quiet loop not far from lively Northcote Road, back into a single dwelling. “The planners were happy to let us join everything up again,” he says.

It took a year to restore the house to its former self, while adding some 21st century touches along the way.

For instance, Clarke dug out a big basement, which he says gave more scope to provide good entertaining space in the house.

“The gardens in the road aren’t very big, so we

couldn’t really extend into the garden. Excavating the basement instead made sense,” he explains.

While the flexible mega-basement offers TV and utility rooms, wine store, loo and shower, it also holds an extra large room that could be used as another reception area, gym or even an extra bedroom.

Now the house running over four floors has six bedrooms, including the added possible bedroom in the basement, two of which have en suite bathrooms.

Clarke says he gets a buzz out of standing in the basement and looking at the staircase that runs all the way up the property.

Another big plus for Victoriana lovers is the way Clarke has reinstated all the characterful features, such as the staircase, spindles, cornicing and doors, that once would have existed in the house. All the bespoke joinery was carried out in Parkgate’s own workshop.

Smoothing out the different levels of the house was another task. For instance, the house was higher up on

THE

the front compared to the back. “This made it quite tricky working out how get the en suites in,” Clarke comments.

Generous ceiling heights can make all the difference to the brightness and airiness of a property, and Parkgate was lucky that the ceilings were high all the way up the house. Ceilings in the new basement are three metres high, so you don’t really feel you’re in a subterranean space at all.

Clarke’s favourite room is the master bedroom, with a little balcony, which gets the afternoon sun. “It has a lovely feel to it,” he says.

Chris Lewis from Savills believes a local family wanting to walk to Broomwood or Thomas’s School will buy the house. “There aren’t many big houses Between the Commons, and although Parkgate’s put a lot of new technology in, it’s not glaringly modern.”

New homes update Special report by John East, director of Land & New Homes at Kinleigh Folkard & Hayward BATTERSEA Shaftesbury Gate by developer Crest Nicholson is a collection of 30 new homes in Battersea. Three-bedroom apartments currently on the market here have private balconies and offstreet parking.

Local amenities are at Lavender Hill, and there are more shops, bars, cafes and restaurants around Clapham Junction and Clapham Old Town.

onfidence in the new homes market continues to grow and the number of new homes being made available to the local market has noticeably increased over the last 12 to 24 months.

Planned regeneration projects in the region around the Ram Brewery scheme, and the transformation of the Battersea Power Station and redevelopment of the Nine Elms area, are huge catalysts for change and as a result we’re seeing the ripple effect fanning outwards to neighbouring areas including Wimbledon, Southfields and Putney.

The larger redevelopments will bring employment, investment and a wider audience with a need and desire to live in South West London, further heightened by the South West’s green open spaces and riverside location. Industry predictions for high property value growth in the area compared to other parts of London are starting to ring true. As these changes begin to have a tangible effect on the area and over the next two years I anticipate rises of approximately 15 per cent in the new homes market.

Areas such as Wimbledon and Southfields, which were previously sought after for their period homes, have begun to see a steady increase in the number of newbuild schemes and the demand for these is equally as high. New builds are a popular option among tenants and make good investment options for buy-to-let landlords.

Often the yield can be higher than a second hand property with less maintenance hassle involved.

Interestingly, a scheme we’re marketing on Arthur Road in Wimbledon Park has been extremely attractive among buy-to-let investors with 50 per cent of the interest coming from those looking to rent them out.

Many buyers are attracted to developments because, while requiring no modernisation, they also cater to a variety of budgets and size requirements. At our Arthur Road scheme, accommodation ranges from studios up to two-bedroom apartments with prices starting from £270,000.

In Southfields we have The Edge (pictured), which is located on Merton Road and offers contemporary twobedroom apartments from £390,000, while at Riverside Quarter in Putney, one-bedroom apartments start from £360,000. Transport links are always a key instigator for the new homes industry and having the convenience of a tube or overground rail station nearby can greatly increase the value of a property, as recently seen in South East London with the introduction of the East London line extension.

The Government’s recent changes to legislation governing the change of use for commercial premises to residential has had a large impact on the newbuild market, with many large and small developers now looking at retail units, warehouses and offices as options for new homes. As a result we’ll likely see more of these coming to market with the benefit that these types of buildings are often rich in character and interesting features.

We’ve just launched a boutique development of beautiful mews houses in Brixton in what was previously an organ makers premises. The character-filled homes offer between two and four bedrooms with prices starting from £575,000. www.kfh.co.uk • 020 8222 7200

12/07/2013 15:29

I N T E R V I E W

We believe that our award winning agency is with thanks to the commitment and experience of our agents. We have built our reputation around the personal service they offer and it is this promise that is making us stand out as a new kind of agent.

Jacksons are delighted to announce that long-term staff members Christopher Cady and Nick Hignell have become Associate Directors of Jacksons. They currently oversee all aspects of Jacksons’ sales and lettings departments and you can contact them for advice on selling or letting your home on 020 8672 9077.

Director Simon Scott took some time out of their busy schedules to ask them a few questions about their careers.

How did you get into estate agency?

Chris: I was part of a graduate recruitment drive that Jacksons was undertaking in the summer of 2002, having graduated from Oxford Brooks I was largely in the dark over what my options were, so I looked to recruitment companies for advice. Within a few weeks I had started at Jacksons as a very green graduate and the rest, as they say, is history. It’s a decision I have not regretted for a single second.

Nick: My father and the Managing Director of Jacksons, Tony McVeigh, have been friends for over 20 years, so I was in and out of Jacksons in my early teens and by badgering the life out of Tony I was given a chance to prove my worth. I knew I would be good at the job and just needed a chance. I am lucky that I was given the opportunity and that Jacksons sourced staff from all kinds of backgrounds. I was seventeen when I started nearly 15 years ago, so it turned out well.

Why do you do what you do?

Chris and Nick: We could not do our jobs if we didn’t love it, this is the overriding factor. Initially and certainly when we first got into the industry it was a sixty to seventy hour week, with no days off and very late finishes. So, you have to love what you do to be able to cope with those hours. The company you are with and the ethos you have is also important. For us the job is about getting better and better and striving to improve on the service you provide. I think if we worked for other estate agents who cared less about their customers and more about the commission they take, then we probably would have chosen another career path.

What makes Jacksons different?

Chris and Nick: Everything, from the moment we answer the phone to the day that someone moves in or out of a property, the whole service we provide and experience we deliver is markedly different from other estate agents, this is ultimately what sets us apart. There are so many clones in our industry, all working for different companies but ultimately doing the same job. At Jacksons we see ourselves as the antithesis of estate agency, the counter proposition if you like. If you are bored or frustrated by the same old stories and lies, then we seek to bring clarity, transparency and honesty to an industry famed for the opposite.

We see that winning seven awards in the last two years at the ESTA’s as being evidence that this is working, as they are the only awards voted for by customers alone. Ourselves and the three owners of Jacksons are also all local people, we love South West London and will do all we can to promote it.

We are also very proud of the work that Jacksons do across the community with dozens of local schools, sports centres, clubs and societies.The money we raise and time we give is genuinely appreciated and whilst we don’t shout it from the rooftops, we know those who benefit are very pleased.

What has been your experience of the market so far this year?

Chris: My background has always been sales and clearly over the last six months everyone has seen a rise in prices and a renewed faith in property as an investment.

Beneath the surface though there are two interesting things happening; firstly a relaxation in the types of mortgage products people can get and the amount of deposit you will require and, secondly, a marked rise in the types of buyers we are seeing.

This combination of more buyers (i.e. first time purchasers, rental investors, developers and overseas buyers) and a relaxed mortgage market has simply led to there once again being more demand than supply. From our perspective, though, there seems to be a more sustainable and manageable growth rather than the crazy times we have seen in the past, which will once again make bricks and mortar the best investment you can make.

Nick: I oversee the lettings department at Jacksons and my close work with Chris has led to us always being able to create the best circumstances for our clients.

At present the lettings market seems to be seeing the opposite trends to sales, which is largely how it goes, as one market rises the other sees an opposing trend. However, as lettings agents who have been renting property for over 18 years – as opposed to our competitors who only got involved to cover a tough sales market – we have seen markets like this before and are more than equipped to cope.

When there are less tenants than property, this is when a letting agent earns their fees, so that they reduce void periods and get the best price they can – but you have to pick an agent with experience.

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.

Sheraton Law – Same great results – Only Better!

Ground floor space designed in reverse Conventional ground floor living space has been reversed at a Victorian house in Brynmaer Road, Battersea, remodelled and updated by its current owner.

A Bulthaup kitchen complete with 100-bottle wine storage unit is at the front of the house, with a dining area beyond, and a wide drawing room at the rear leading out into the landscaped garden. Second floor rooms have also been merged in an unconventional way to make better use of space and create a large master bedroom suite.

The four-storey, four-bedroom home – guide price £2.7m – includes a contemporary family room containing a built-in cinema system and automated screen, and has integrated sound, video and security throughout thanks to the wonders of Creston home technology and Lutron lighting. John D Wood & Co 020 7228 0174.

OLYMPIC HOME SHOWS COUNTRY STYLE Marney Lodge is a double-fronted early Victorian home in Wandsworth with four floors of totally refurbished living space. The house has a definite rural feel thanks to surrounding greenery and pedestrian-only access.

Built in 1860, the £1.53m four-bedroom house is set in secure and gated Olympic Mews, a new private road that runs off East Hill. The property faces due south for excellent light and space, and looks out across an impressive 75ft landscaped garden. It comes with a separate home office or gym, private underground par king, and a 10-year Premier Insurance guarantee.

Off the entrance hall are two reception rooms with high ceilings. The larger one has original oak panelling, ceiling mouldings, stained glass windows and a working fireplace. The second has double casement doors that open onto a raised decked area overlooking the garden.

The light, bright kitchen and breakfast room is on the lower ground floor, the same level as a guest bedroom and en suite shower room that could also serve as a playroom, gym or nanny’s room. A study area on the first floor landing has a superb arched window looking out over the gardens. Rampton Baseley 020 7228 5111.

southside As seen by Jonathan Dyson, manager of Hamptons Battersea and Wandsworth What went up now goes down I’m sure many people will have seen the increase in the number of brightly painted plywood boxes appearing in front of houses, completely obscuring prying eyes from what’s going on within. While for some this is just to give the contractor some much appreciated advertising space, more often than not it heralds the start of some major works – the basement extension.

The traditional South London Victorian terraces featured lots of small rooms that were easy to heat and economical to run. Up until a few years ago, most house owners might extend into the loft and perhaps even build a ‘side return’, effectively increasing the bedroom space upstairs and to a smaller extent the living space downstairs.

Fashion has changed over the years, however, and now it’s all about big open spaces, showcase kitchens and huge boutique hotel-style master bedrooms with walk-in wardrobes and en suite bathrooms. While these are reasonably well accommodated within the traditional extensions, it’s clear that to gain a truly exceptional increase in space, the only option is to go down into the ground.

If your idea of a basement is a damp, fusty old coal cellar filled with fake Christmas trees, old golf clubs and an inflatable Lilo that might come in handy one day, then you’re in for a surprise. Modern basement extensions are light, bright and genuinely add a considerable amount of additional space to the growing family.

They might just about cover their cost from the perspective of the increased property value, but compared with moving, the saving in transaction costs alone usually amounts to around £100,000.

This, coupled with the fact that you don’t have to leave the home you love, really does make it an attractive proposition.

So it is actually worth doing? From a personal perspective, having just finished our own ‘big hole’ (as my daughters call it), I would say a resounding yes. However, do be wary of the pitfalls.

We definitely had one of the better companies but even so, the glossy brochure never explained that almost every room in the house would need redecorating, bathrooms need retiling, door frames move and don’t even mention the dust – I think our dry cleaning bill alone paid for the new shop front at Bellevue Cleaners.

Overall we’re pleased as punch with the result, but it definitely cost a good deal more than the original estimate – and that’s just to our sanity.

Gateway to the old Wandle blacksmith Standing on the site of a former farrier and blacksmith, a detached house in Wandsworth is accessed through a fascinating Wandle Road archway where the horses once passed through.

The secluded three-bedroom detached house is set in a decent-sized garden and can offer off-street parking for several cars. Ideal for a downsizer or someone looking for lateral living and entertaining space, the home extends to almost 1750 sq ft.

With almost 500 sq ft of space on its own, the main reception room has access to a large conservatory half the size again. The kitchen, situated

centrally in the house, can be closed off or accessed through the sitting room for a more informal feel. There are three bedrooms and the large master bedroom has its own en suite shower room.

The entire property was recently refurbished to a high standard, including a completely new roof. Externally the mainly paved garden is low maintenance but offers plenty of raised beds for the keener gardener.

Fascinating house mixes old and new Architect Blunden Shadbolt, who specialised in houses in Tudor Revival or Arts and Crafts style, built this fascinating detached house mostly from reclaimed bricks and timbers in 1925.

His grandson James Blunden Prior says: “His houses were made from re-cycled materials, mainly from old barns and Tudor cottages . . . It was a compliment to have his houses mistaken for an old one.”

Originally named The Gables, this distinctive four-bedroom home styled like a country house was first built for a Mrs C Wright, who sold it to a member of the Crowther family of Syon Park Antiques in 1932. Five years later the Crowthers extended the house and changed its name to Monks Rest – after a Shadbolt property exhibited at the 1924 Ideal Home Exhibition.

On the ground floor, many of the exposed oak beams may well date back to Tudor times. The dining room has an inglenook fireplace with a baker’s oven chimney breast, and the impressive double-aspect, oak-panelled drawing room has a wide-planked oak floor and another inglenook fireplace with wood burner.

The quintessentially English country garden features York stone terraces and a timber-framed summer house alongside an ornamental lily pond. A detached garage is built in similar style to the house, and there’s extra parking for two cars on the driveway.

Award winning architect designs dream home in Dulwich Architecturally ELITE 4-bed house designed by RIBA award-winning architect on premier plot. Secluded garden, living roofs, bespoke windows and contemporary touches. Strictly for design-conscious buyers and a simple chain-free sale.

When the artist/owner began work on this dream home, she sourced the best materials and building techniques possible: wide Douglas fir flooring (that has been lime soaked and then white-soaped for a longlasting, superior finish and wood plugged with no screws in sight), clay plaster wall surfaces in the bathrooms (made in Cornwall, expensive and completely beautiful), angled recessed low energy LED lighting (with dimmers and selective light controls), complete data cabling (all cables are hidden from view, controlled from a master box meaning family members can watch TV simultaneously/ separately), a supersonically efficient boiler, oversized and perfectly finished bespoke windows throughout the house, intercom cabling is ready-wired, sedum living roofs across the rear first floor and a well stocked garden with reclaimed timber terracing and large lawn.

To the rear of the ground floor is a solid ash kitchen (handmade, of course by the other owner/cabinet maker) that sweeps across the rear of the house, has a kitchen island and units that extend into a utility area that can be closed off via oversized sliding doors. Double sets of huge French doors open to the garden, while the dining area is open to a large front reception. An en suite shower room to the master bedroom has a walkin shower with rain effect pulse or waterfall setting, two further bathrooms are both roomy and expertly finished.

Now, this has four double bedrooms, but you¹ll find some movement in this. Let us explain: The second floor has an awesome reception (with London skyline

and sunset views), super-large double bedroom to the rear and a bathroom. The bedroom has been designed so that it could be split into two doubles, right down the centre, should you wish.

Adam Khan Architects (link: http://www.adamkhan. co.uk/) designed the house; Adam and the owner have previously worked on public art project together and knew they shared similar design vision.

The owners themselves say, “It’s the open aspect of the hills at either end of this road that give such a stunning panorama. The build of the house has been like a giant sculpture project. Sourcing the right materials has been an involved process. Finding bathroom tiles ‘Made in Britain’. And commissioning bespoke white concrete cills, materials from Cornwall, made in Mitcham, that do justice to Adam Khan’s concept for a minimal house that is rich in texture.”

The South West London market has certainly benefitted from the continued migration of tenants moving from Chelsea, Kensington and Mayfair to enjoy greater value for money in Battersea, Clapham and Wandsworth.

The family house market has picked up, with more families coming out of the woodwork with higher budgets and increased willingness to move to the South West to benefit from the excellent transport links and schooling on offer here.

Relocation agents have also been busy, particularly with corporate tenants in the commodity sector, looking for the larger four to five-bedroom houses. In the past three months we have let five family houses.

As well as the family house market, there has been a high demand for buy-to-let investors, and on average we are seeing that approximately 75 per cent of properties on the market are buy-to-let investments.

With rents in Battersea rising sharply, foreign investors

are beginning to make their money in the area. While rents increased in Battersea by 8.3 per cent in the past year, they are forecast to grow by another 26.4 per cent over the next five years, making it an excellent market to invest in.

Foreign tenants are also moving to the area, and in 2011 to 2012 around 35 per cent of tenants were from overseas. We expect that the Nine Elms development and the arrival of the Dutch and American Embassies will also put Battersea on the map with foreign tenants, and this is a market that we expect to grow over the next few years.

While the market is busy at the moment, we expect it to slow as the summer holidays begin and pick up again in the autumn months. Landlords need to be realistic on pricing and be patient as supply is outweighing demand, and tenants are benefitting from increasing amounts of choice in the market.

We are seeing a trend of tenants taking short-term tenancies while renovating and doing work to their own homes. We would encourage landlords not to be put off by these tenants and to be open-minded about taking a short-term tenancy.

Ready for restoration S

tanding on the northern fringe of the charming Kent village of Sissinghurst, a mile and a half from the market town of Cranbrook, The Crossways is a Grade II listed farmhouse dating back to the 16th century.

Now in need of restoration, this detached sevenbedroom property falls within the Cranbrook School catchment area, and is around four miles from Staplehurst mainline station and its fast and frequent commuter service to Charing Cross and Cannon Street.

The property lies east of Royal Tunbridge Wells and south of the county town of Maidstone and the M20 motorway. Grounds of almost four acres include extensive outbuildings such as a detached period coach house, lofty double garage, potting shed and two greenhouses – one derelict.

An entrance vestibule with quarry-tiled floor and partially glazed double doors leads into the reception hall with parquet flooring and a principal turned staircase. The drawing and sitting rooms feature inglenook fireplaces, parquet flooring and exposed oak beams.

The dining room, an Edwardian addition to the house, has French windows into the garden, a sideboard recess, and a moulded timber chimneypiece with Delft tile inset. The kitchen and breakfast room features an oil-fired Aga, and off the kitchen is a scullery with floor units, a hatch to the dining room, and a door to a laundry room with Belfast sink.

Out in the gardens, to the front is a lawned area with established boundary hedging and a beautiful wisteria. To the east is a former water garden, and to the west a level expanse of lawn bounded by banks of rhododendrons, azaleas, specimen trees and shrubs.

Another enclosed garden area with rose-clad pergola leads to the orchard.

The Crossways, Common Road, Sissinghurst, Kent, £1,295,000 guide price, Savills Cranbrook 01580 720161

country vibe Dominick Brown, director of Savills Sevenoaks, gives South a guided tour of Plaxtol in Kent ATTRACTIONS Kent has long been known as the Garden of England, and dotted across this wonderful county is a variety of villages from sleepy hamlets to bustling centres of activity.

Situated between Sevenoaks and Tonbridge is the village of Plaxtol, set in an Area Of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

It’s rural yet conveniently close to larger towns. It’s easy to see why it is so popular with our buyers, and properties we market in Plaxtol always generate a great deal of interest.

SHOPPING Plaxtol has a village store selling a variety of items including fresh fruit and vegetables, a post office and a butcher. It is in essence a typical country village, but with larger towns such as Sevenoaks and Tunbridge Wells so near, access to a wider variety of shops is still convenient.

TOP STREETS The village may be small but its history dates back over 400 years, and this is reflected in the charming buildings. The main residential street is called simply The Street and here you’ll find a variety of houses from historic cottages to large detached family houses set in beautifully landscaped gardens.

RESTAURANTS AND PUBS There are plenty of good country pubs in the area and in the centre of the village is the Papermakers Arms. Both restaurant and pub, it offers a good selection of wines and ales, along with an excellent Sunday roast. Nearby are the Golding Hop and the Plough, again offering a

typical country pub experience.

LEISURE The village cricket club has successful league teams and also a social Sunday team. There’s a youth group, local history group, tennis club, and also an active and enthusiastic amateur dramatic society known as the Plaxtol Players, putting on both plays and outdoor productions.

Further afield, the area has a number of National Trust properties as well as some excellent bridle paths and walks.

Keen golfers can visit the Wildernesse Golf Club in Seal, Knole Golf Club in Sevenoaks, and Nizels Golf and Leisure Centre in Hildenborough. There is also the Sevenoaks Swimming and Leisure Centre.

SCHOOLS There are a number of excellent schools in this part of Kent.

The village itself offers Plaxtol Primary School, while nearby Tonbridge boasts Judd boys grammar, Weald of Kent and Tonbridge girls grammar. Independent schools include Sevenoaks School, Tonbridge and Walthamstow Hall, Solefields and New Beacon preparatory schools.

TRANSPORT Sevenoaks, less than seven miles from Plaxtol, has frequent services to London Bridge, Cannon Street and Charing Cross in around 32 minutes. Borough Green is four miles and has services to London Victoria in around 50 minutes. The M20 at Wrotham Heath (4.5 miles) gives access to the M25, Gatwick and Heathrow Airports and the Channel Tunnel Terminus.

With the market improving, preparation is key, reports Simon Scott, associate director residential for Savills Locksbottom

N

ow summer is here, we have seen a notable increase in transaction levels at Savills Locksbottom for good-sized family houses.

Properties are completing within a matter of weeks.

Buyers are more confident than ever before.

Many are in the position of waiting for the right property to come to the market, so when it does, they are prepared to make informed yet rapid decisions. Therefore vendors should be prepared for a swift sale and instruct a solicitor at the time of going to market.

It is important that when a house is launched to the market, the information the buyer needs is prepared in readiness for a sale. This will avoid unnecessary delays and also costs. The documentation a solicitor will be able to prepare in advance can include title deeds, planning permissions and building control certificates, and also indemnity policies.

When selling a property, the more preparation done in advance, the easier the process will be for all parties involved. It is important to consider matters such as the disclosure of any relevant issues you faced when you purchased the property. Be prepared for as much flexibility as possible with completion dates, especially when the purchasers are part of a chain. Finally, another area that can speed up the buying process is ensuring that you have your own mortgage finance in place before agreeing a sale.

To give an example of how quickly it is possible to sell a property, we have seen a great deal of success recently in Farnborough Park and Keston Park in Locksbottom. The Parks, as they are known, offer a wide variety of properties, from large detached family homes set in wonderful gardens to contemporary developments, all with the added benefits of secure living and a sense of community.

We have completed on a large family house in Farnborough Park in one week. Another property in Rushmore Hill, from valuation to competition, was finalised in two weeks including a survey and mortgage offer.

As the market continues to improve, the more preparation that can be done by both purchasers and vendors prior to the property being marketed, the more smoothly the process will take place.

It can make all the difference to a speedy, successful sale.

the last word Nigel Field, director of Winkworth Kennington, answers South’s questions Tell us how you joined the property industry and briefly describe your career history to date.

I started out as a junior negotiator on Battersea Park Road in 1990 during what I would call ‘real’ recession. Interest rates were 16 per cent and there was no such thing as buy-to-let. In 1992 I moved to Winkworth Battersea, moving on to manage Kennington office in 1995. I have subsequently become a partner in the firm.

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

When the market is on a high like today then activity is fast and furious. When the market slows we have to devise new ways to attract new business and stimulate activity. The highlight of my job is continuously cultivating relationships so that happy clients return to us time and time again.

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

In today’s busy market when there is an imbalance of supply and demand, our biggest challenge is getting instructions. Competition from other local agents is crucial but challenging at times. When the market moves in an upward direction so quickly, the onus is on us to price the property correctly and manage expectations from either side.

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

Estate agency is a great career. Be prepared to work hard to achieve success. Take every opportunity to learn because experience and knowledge is everything in this business.

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

I bought my current house in 2007 when market conditions were similar. It was a nightmare. Prepare yourself for an emotional rollercoaster. Know your area and source out the agents that specialise in the kind of property you want to buy. Most importantly, qualify yourself financially through your bank or a broker before you start your search.

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

I don’t see any difference between the markets of North, South, East or West London. Rich diversity of properties and people, isolated areas of regeneration, and urban tower blocks neighbouring elegant period terraces are characteristic of London as a whole. London is a micro market in itself and key selling points such as great transport links into the City and areas rich in amenities and community exist all over London.

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

transport and industry, the area still supports independent shops and restaurants and has a strong community of local residents. Waterloo is a hotbed of theatre and the arts and offers something for every taste. There is something very magical about walking down the South Bank at night seeing the lights of London on either side. Waterloo reminds people why they love London.

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

I cannot imagine not being an estate agent. In Kennington I have become involved in many charities and community groups, giving me a better understanding of the community we work in and the people and businesses we work alongside. If I were to do anything else I would probably expand upon this to use my business experience to benefit the charity sector. Ask me this question on another day and I may say professional golfer!

We predict that the market will remain strong but steady. The Elephant and Castle regeneration and the huge redevelopment of Vauxhall will strengthen prices in those areas.

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

Waterloo would be my place of choice. A central London hub for
