Q

Will the first quarter of 2014 be good news for the buy-to-let property market?

Ruth Barr, lettings head at Savills Wimbledon, replies ...

A

If you are the proud owner of a buy-to-let property or portfolio, the first quarter of the year will be positive as the recent recovery in the housing market will have boosted its value.

Most landlords will have seen their assets increase in value by 3.5 to 6 per cent and in some areas and cases even more, and 2014 will be positive as more stock is released for purchasers as conditions improve. Buy-to-let finance conditions have improved as well and this has enticed a number of investors back to the marketplace.

Investors need to be aware that the expected growth in interest rates from 2015 and 2016 will force them to think about the balance between paying a higher mortgage in return for the extra capital growth. Many of the new buyto-let deals agreed in the busy November and December months will be looking to complete within this first quarter, which will give the rental market a good boost of new stock.

In some areas, however, this will lead to an abundance of property in some price bands and supply and demand issue will come into play. The rental market remains positive in most sectors and while the economy still struggles, young professionals will still look to rent if they are not in a position to buy, even with the Government schemes.

Landlords need to consider whether rents will keep up with inflation as the Knight Frank Prime Central London index plus other rental reports are recording that rents will remain the same and in some areas drop slightly.

Using cash available now to deal with small areas of improvement, such as taking advantage of the sales now to put in a new shower room, will pay dividends. Tenants will walk away from tired and dated stock, especially when there is choice.

marketview How is the upcoming general election affecting the property market, asks Cheryl Markosky.

P

olitical elections of any type can cause market uncertainty, points out Lucian Cook, Savills head of UK residential research.

The first six months of 2013 confirmed taxation of prime residential property has become a political bargaining chip. “As a result, Savills Research forecasts the 2015 general election will trigger a lull in London price growth, but it will resume in 2016 assuming there are no further significant changes to taxation of high value property,” he says.

Alex Howard Baker at Savills Putney concurs that there might be a pre-election slowdown. “Yet the fiveyear forecast for growth in outer prime London is still very positive at 22.7 per cent up to 2017, indicating the impact of the election shouldn’t curb house price growth in the long term. The fundamentals of supply and demand will drive the market forward in what remains a very sought-after area for families, with excellent schools, and access to the City, heath and the Thames.”

Despite political posturing in the run-up to the 2015 election, George Franks from Douglas & Gordon believes: “The true market will remain similar to 2013, with people who have to sell selling and those who don’t using the election and the ongoing threat of mansion tax as an excuse. At the end of the day, sellers will be waiting for that magic figure of what they hope their home will one day be worth.”

Across the UK there will be general growth, and as the country market starts to hot up, Londoners will be tempted to take advantage of the price differential and move out before the gap closes, Franks argues.

Nick Barnes, head of research at Chesterton Humberts, thinks it unlikely that people will focus on the election until 2015 commences. “Even then, I think the impact will be minimal. I think the health of the economy, people’s job situations and household finances will be more of a consideration.”

However, an area of real concern for homeowners with a large mortgage is anticipated rate rises.

Predicting when commercial rates will rise is notoriously difficult, admits Barnes. “However, the record low rates we’ve seen over the past year or so will not be around for much longer if the economy continues to improve. So, opting for a reasonably long fixed rate would be prudent. Timing, as ever, is key.”

village vibe

Tim Beattie, sales manager at Kinleigh Folkard & Hayward in West Putney, gives South a guided tour of his territory ATTRACTIONS West Putney on the south bank of the Thames is known as the starting point of the Boat Race. It is also home to London’s second oldest bridge, Putney Bridge, and the embankment provides wonderful unrestricted views across to Bishops Park.

RESTAURANTS AND PUBS Putney offers a great choice for eating and drinking, with the Duke’s Head on the river and the Spencer Arms on Putney Common both providing traditional pub fare. There are some great bars to enjoy too, such as B@1, Thai Square and The Toy Shop bar, as well as restaurants such as Enoteca Turi and Emile’s.

SHOPS These range from large nationwide brands through to smaller boutiques.

Tantrums and Tiaras is a specialist wedding store that draws excited brides-to-be from near and far, while Grind Coffee Bar has a loyal following for their expertly made coffees and snacks. West Putney is also home to the Parson’s Nose butchers, who stock great quality organic meat and are always happy to help with a recipe idea or two.

LEISURE Much of the leisure activity in the area surrounds the many boathouses located on the Thames, with the river in near constant use. Putney Common, with its traditional cricket pitch framed by All Saints Church, is a popular spot for a family picnic, bike ride or dog walking.

TOP STREETS Charlwood Road, Ruvigny Gardens and Lower Common South are among the attractive streets. Roads south of Lower Richmond Road, such as Gwendolen Avenue and St Simon’s Avenue, offer large gardens and beautifully proportioned properties.

SCHOOLS Four very strong state primary schools are All Saints Church of England, Hotham Primary School, St Mary’s Church of England and Our Lady of Victories Roman Catholic, greatly enhancing the desirability among families. Hurlingham School is a well-regarded independent prep school and Putney High caters for girls of all ages and enjoys an excellent reputation in the independent sector.

celebritywatch Straight-talking TV chef, restaurateur and Wandsworth resident Gordon Ramsay is soon to open his new London House restaurant on a Battersea Square corner, offering modern European cooking and a polished destination cocktail bar.

Irish-born Anna Kelly and Yorkshire’s Paul Halliwell will lead the on-site team. Anna will run the kitchen after working in Ireland, London, France, Spain and most recently Los Angeles. Paul has worked in prestigious hotels including La Trompette in Chiswick and Odette’s in Primrose Hill.

the word Special report by Clive Moon, head of Savills Wimbledon

2

013 was a strong year for our Savills Wimbledon team, with average values increasing by 13.3 per cent since 2012 and five-year growth up by 52.7 per cent.

The last months of the year were surprisingly busy with a number of new end-of-year agreements providing a positive start to 2014.

The top end of the market has also been very active, reflecting Wimbledon’s increasing popularity with prime buyers across the globe.

The last quarter of 2013 experienced a considerable uplift in demand for prime properties with a number of record £-per-foot prices being achieved, including some from off-market sales.

Savills Research recorded a growing number of international buyers purchasing properties over £2m in the area, from Western Europe, Pacific Asia, Africa and Eastern Europe.

Despite price growth, Wimbledon still represents an area of London that provides value for money in comparison to prime central London. Prime village properties can achieve up to £1250 per foot but compared to approximately £2000 per foot in prime Chelsea, the ability to make a lateral price move for more space is the clear driver for many.

From classic grand townhouses to substantial Victorian villas, there is a brilliant variety of property in the area. Similarly there is a superb selection of

boutiques and restaurants in Wimbledon Village, while Putney Health, Wimbledon Common and Richmond Park provide swathes of open countryside.

Wimbledon has a lovely community feel, with 84 per cent of buyers purchasing a main residence in the area and the majority upsizing.

It remains a fabulous place to raise a family, with King’s College and Wimbledon High School both very popular, yet still close enough to the City that the commute – only 17 minutes to Waterloo – is easily manageable.

For buyers looking for a New Year property, we’ve got a great selection of homes to choose from. Within the prime market we are selling the first phase of the outstanding residential development Wimbledon Hill Park, which consists of eight new-build detached houses (four classic and four contemporary) with prices from £3.75m. Kylemore House is a stunning new-build property with great eco credentials in the Coombe Estate, on the market for £8.5m.

At the other end of the spectrum we’ve have a number of two-bedroom flats on the market for £565,000, perfect first-time buys or investments.

Both are in a great location around 800m away from Wimbledon Common, on the edge of Wimbledon Village.

There is plenty to look forward to this year

what’shot

with the beginning of 2014 likely to continue in the same vein as 2013. We are commencing marketing on a number of large new-build and period houses at prime levels with four new-build houses in Coombe on Warren Road and six newbuild houses in the heart of the village off Marryat Road. The strength of the core family market shows no sign of diminishing with continued low interest rates encouraging families to trade up and move into this ever-popular area.

In the coming months we expect the strong appeal of Wimbledon to continue to draw interest from buyers, from young professionals and growing families to foreign investors and retirees.

Savills Research shares our positive feelings for the year ahead, predicting a 6 per cent increase in 2014 for outer prime London, rising to a 22.7 per cent increase by 2017.

heads-up

Keeping you informed about property news and events in your area

Nine Elms bike boost The Barclays Cycle Scheme has been extended to Nine Elms on the South Bank so you can now use the scheme to pedal across the £15 billion transformation area between Lambeth Bridge and Chelsea Bridge.

Docking stations have operated around Vauxhall since 2010, including six in Nine Elms.

New stations added at the western end in Wandsworth Borough have now more than doubled the scheme’s reach.

New stations installed in Nine Elms since last October include points opposite Battersea Power Station, Battersea Dogs and Cats Home and Battersea Park.

Cllr Ravi Govindia, co-chair of the Nine Elms Vauxhall Partnership and leader of Wandsworth Council, said: “It’s fantastic that the popular blue bikes are finally coming to Nine Elms and the north of Wandsworth. Local people now have another great option for getting about and getting up close to iconic attractions such as Battersea Power Station.

“The area is opening up. In the years to come we’ll have a new linear park running from the power station up to Vauxhall and an increasingly accessible river path.”

Officials suggest five attractions to see by ‘Boris bike’ around Nine Elms on the South Bank (with nearby docking stations): Garden Museum, Lambeth Palace Road; Vauxhall Gallery Cluster; 575 Wandsworth Road (National Trust); Battersea Power Station; Battersea gasholders and Battersea Park.

Mayor of Wandsworth, Cllr Angela Graham, is pictured at the cycle docking station on Thesally Road SW8, outside Battersea Power Station.

Friends of Clapham Common oppose mega pop event plans Friends of Clapham Common are objecting to an open-licence proposal to allow Live Nation, described as a ‘mega pop event maker’, to put massive events on Clapham Common this year and beyond.

“The commercialisation of Clapham Common has reached new heights. Lambeth Council risks converting our heritage landscape into an enterprise platform,” said FCC chairman Melanie Oxley.

“Despite clear objections from ourselves and others, Lambeth is welcoming all kinds of unsuitable events. This is increasing tension between the council and leading community groups, who are also engaged in discussions about co-operative management of the Common,” she said.

“Friends of Clapham Common believe that behind-the-scenes approval is allowing events companies such as SW4 and Live Nation to extend opening hours and to hugely increase the number of people attending events.”

New look supports transformation Estate agent Cluttons will have a new look next month with an updated brand.

The move supports a recent transformation at the company including reorganising teams into five divisions: Consultancy, Agency and Capital Markets, International, Residential Sales and Lettings, and Telecoms Media Technology.

All nine residential agency branches in London are in the process of being refurbished and a new branch is due to open in Blackheath. Further branch openings are planned for this year.

Hamptons wins Gold Hamptons International took home Gold for Best Large Agency for the second consecutive year at the Estate Agency of the Year Awards at the Lancaster London Hotel in December.

Once again supported by the Sunday Times and the Times, the event attracted agents from across the country and the winners were presented with their awards by television presenter Penny Smith. Grant Bates of Hamptons Islington was crowned Best Negotiator and Daniel O’Brien, also of Islington, Best Valuer.

Marc Goldberg, head of Hamptons Sales, said: “We have been working hard to grow our business share, invest in our staff and continue to provide our clients with outstanding customer service beyond their expectations. To be acknowledged for these efforts by a group of industry experts is extremely rewarding.”

Do open houses really work or are they just a gimmick?

Robin Chatwin, director at Savills Wandsworth, Battersea and Clapham Open houses can be a brilliant marketing tool for certain properties, generating wider interest and accumulating a high number of viewings in a short timeframe. A recent open house for an unmodernised £500,000 property in Tooting attracted around 50 attendees, far more than we would have been able to show around individually in the same period.

However, while open houses can increase the quantity of interest in a property and generate useful feedback, they can’t guarantee quality buyers. Open houses are often ill-suited to top-end buyers, who tend to prefer to be looked after on a viewing and given individual attention.

Space to the Max

Jonathan Lloyd-Ham, area sales manager for Field & Sons

Max Green is the new head of Sales for Savills Nightingale Lane office, joining Robin Chatwin’s established team across Clapham, Battersea, Wandsworth, Balham and Tooting.

Max began his career in Cheltenham, learning the business in an up-and-coming estate agency before making the leap to London in 2009.

“When I moved to London, one of my prerequisites was having green space nearby.

With the two commons, Wandsworth and Clapham immediately appealed,” said Max. “I live just off Trinity Road and can often be found playing tennis, cricket or rugby on the commons. It’s very rare that you can walk down the street without bumping into someone you know, which gives the whole area a great community feel.”

Open house days have certainly become the flavour of the moment with a lot of agents. Personally I am not in favour of this kind of selling for a number of reasons.

The majority of my instructions are family houses or flats, and as a professional agent we take full responsibility for our clients’ possessions. It is simply not possible to be fully in control of mass viewings at an open house.

Good agency should be allowing both sellers and buyers the personal attention and time that a quality agent can give face-to-face, and this is totally lost with an open door policy.

The exception, when I would be happy to offer an open house day, would be for the launch of a new development.

Lennon mansion where All You Need Is Love (& Sons) I

t’s the stockbroker belt mansion that John Lennon bought in pre-Yoko days with his first wife Cynthia as a refuge from massed screaming fans gripped by global Beatlemania.

Kenwood stands at the top of a grassy hill on the exclusive St George’s Hill estate in Weybridge, Surrey, a celebrity sanctuary recommended to John and Cyn by a Beatles accountant.

Lennon bought the house for £19,000 in July 1964, as A Hard Day’s Night topped the British pop charts, a month before the Beatles conquered the US in their first full Stateside tour.

Cynthia describes Kenwood in her book, John: “It wasn’t like any estate we’d ever seen – no back-to-back houses, just acres of woods, fields and discreet homes set at such wide intervals that you wouldn’t know you had any neighbours . . . It was on the top of a hill and had a wonderful sense of space and openness.”

Initially the Lennons lived in an attic flat during a £30,000 renovation programme that included a

Hollywood-style swimming pool. The attic was later turned into a games room where John, Paul, George and Ringo raced Scalextric cars.

Paul would drive his Aston Martin down to Kenwood from his own home near Abbey Road studios to take tea and cornflakes with John before the two composed more Lennon-McCartney magic.

Today extensively updated by the current owners, this luxurious six-bed family home stands in secluded grounds of 1.5 acres with a coach house and a spectacular detached swimming pool complex.

The legendary Lennon property 23 miles from central London was originally built in 1913 by Love & Sons. Just imagine.

Law and order A solicitor has transformed a Wimbledon semi into an open (and shut) plan case, says Cheryl Markosky

L

ooking a bit like a location for CSI Wimbledon, this month’s project in Durham Road was in poor condition with a lean-to kitchen and outdoor toilet when legal beagle Kahl Oozeerally got his hands on it.

After cleverly crafting it into a semi-open-plan home, it’s now the scene of happy-ever-after dramas.

Solicitor Oozeerally was living down the road in 2003 when he spotted the opportunity to bring this house back to life. “It was in its original state and had many of its original features as it hadn’t been touched since the 1900s,” he explains.

He bought the property from an elderly couple and didn’t need to seek planning permission to make alterations, as he was able to change the tired property through permitted development rules. It helped that the property wasn’t listed.

A seasoned ‘doer-upper’ – “I’ve refurbished homes before from time to time,” he says – Oozeerally was wellprepared to take on this big job involving re-plumbing, rewiring, sorting out a new roof and extending the

property out into the garden. The work took six months and was relatively straightforward.

The only big hiccup was getting the right contractors.

“I made the mistake of hiring a poor roofer, which caused lots of problems including some flooding. But once I got reliable people on board, they got on with it and everything else was okay,” he says.

Oozeerally is obviously a dab hand at restoration projects, as he fully managed Durham Road and sourced all the materials required for rebuilding. His wife was involved too in creating the smart five-bedroom, two-bathroom, family-friendly home (the couple have two boys aged five and 10).

“I haven’t gone fully open plan with the house,” he adds. “There’s a huge kitchen/dining/family room, but I’ve included some arches and partitions so it doesn’t feel like one big soulless space.”

The mix of period with new adds warmth to the place as well. Oozeerally says his favourite space is the sitting room with its original features. “There are also the

original fireplaces in the bedrooms and dining area, as well as all the original coving as you come down the stairs. I also love the high ceilings, which were a feature of the period.”

It’s now time for the next project – a detached house further out in Surrey with a larger garden. And after a decade, Oozeerally imagines the family moving back into Wimbledon.

Selling agent Ed Foley from Winkworth Wimbledon says the house has been done up well. He also believes the location helps sell it: “You’re a five-minute walk from Raynes Park shops, Holly Mount Primary School and Cottenham Park recreation ground.”

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

Well actually you are probably right, more or less. Even though some big estate agent chains insist that they are more caring, or more passionate or more local!

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

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

New homes update Special report by David Smith, Octagon’s head of Marketing

A

fter a sluggish start, 2013 proved to be another highly successful 12-month period for Octagon, particularly in the socalled graveyard month of August, when we experienced some record-breaking moments.

These included the sale off-plan of one of our super mansions on the St George’s Hill Estate in Weybridge for around £16m, swiftly followed by a flurry of activity at our two flagship developments in Esher and Kingswood, contributing a satisfactory combined £28m to annual turnover.

Octagon Bespoke division has also shown steady growth, and had special cause for celebration after winning a 2013 What House? Award winner for Best Luxury House.

This year we have already started in a much more upbeat mood, bolstered by the first glimmers of economic recovery, combined with renewed confidence in the UK property market.

Octagon is firmly focused on the top end of the luxury house building sector, which we expect to remain

robust throughout 2014, particularly in the prime locations where we will be launching developments and several of our one-off mansions.

Showstoppers include a new home (pictured) with extensive leisure and entertaining floors on a three-acre landscaped plot on the site of a former monastery in Totteridge, one of London’s most exclusive conservation areas; two substantial family homes on the Wentworth Estate in Virginia Water; and the spring launch of our first development in Royal Windsor, Long Walk Villas (pictured), where each of the five-bedroom houses has roof terrace views of Windsor Great Park and Windsor Castle.

Here’s hoping that along with all our colleagues in the new homes industry who are passionate about quality and customer satisfaction, we are on track for another successful year. octagon.co.uk • 020 8358 7900

ue for completion in May, an exclusive development of six grand townhouses is being created at a new residential address close to Wimbledon Village and the All England Lawn Tennis Club.

These impressive homes, set over four floors, combine the traditional architecture of a grand London residence with every comfort and convenience for 21st century living, with high-spec contemporary interiors behind their classic and imposing facades.

Grand entrances lead onto superb reception rooms and some of the homes will have spectacular skyline views of London that take in landmarks from Wimbledon Centre Court, the BT Tower and Battersea Power Station to the Gherkin, the Shard and Wimbledon Golf Course.

The semi-detached four-to-five-bedroom houses in Marryat Place are being built by Berkeley Homes on a no through road less than half a mile from Wimbledon Village High Street.

Marryat Place has been developed on a large plot with existing mature trees at the end of a quiet, established residential road and the six homes radiate from a turning circle at the front. All the properties have large gardens.

Each home has underfloor heating throughout, as

well as cooling and Ilight mood lighting in the main receptions rooms and master suite. They are pre-wired for audio to all principal rooms, with an upgrade option for ceiling speakers controlled by a discreet mode wall unit or via tablet computer or smart phone.

Fixing a deal

moneytip £

Secure a fixed rate and remove the worry, says Duncan Farmer

February is the first month following the withdrawal of Funding for Lending for use as mortgage finance. The Bank of England’s scheme is widely credited for leading to mortgage rates falling last year.

While we do not expect rates to increase suddenly overnight, it does look like the beginning of the end for the historically low rates seen in 2013.

With that in mind, those looking to fix their mortgage should shop around now. Lenders’ appetites and competitive pressure may mean we’ll see the odd ‘fire sale’ rate, but on the whole the trend will be up.

T

he strange fact about the startling recovery in Britain’s economy is that lending to big business has actually fallen, while at the same time the level of mortgage borrowing has risen, according to figures from the Bank of England.

The increase in mortgage lending was at its highest level last November (the latest data available) for five years, suggesting that the property market is back on an even keel.

The level of business borrowing dropped to its lowest level for two years. The reason for the latter is in part the fact that big business is awash with cash and therefore does not need to borrow, and in part that many large firms are using the bond market to meet their borrowing needs.

The only worry is that banks are perhaps nervous to lend to the corporate sector.

Whatever the reasons, Britain’s economy appears to be recovering well: figures from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders show that we bought 10 per cent more cars last year than in 2012, another

First-time impact House prices rose by 1.4 per cent last December, bringing the year-on-year increase to 8.4 per cent, an astonishing return on an investment even after borrowing costs have been taken into account. For properties in London, the rise has been far higher at 14.9 per cent. The average London house price is now £550,000, having risen by more than £50,000 a year.

The boost in London prices has been driven in large part by foreign buyers, but the return of first-time homeowners, whose numbers rose in the capital by a third last year, has also helped.

Fears that a bubble is inflating have been voiced and the Bank of England has been told to monitor schemes, such as Help to Buy, to ensure that the bubble does not become too big. That could mean raising interest rates.

indication that Britain is doing well. Not only do consumers have the cash to buy a new car, but the UK is also building a large number of them.

All this good news points to one thing: interest rates will have to rise. For savers that is good news, but for borrowers it is not.

However, for housebuyers and homeowners looking to remortgage, there are still very good deals on the market. For example, Halifax is offering a mortgage fixed for five years at a rate of 3.19 per cent, compared with its standard variable rate of 3.99 per cent. If the Bank of England’s Monetary Policy Committee does put the base rate up, the standard variable rate is certain to rise, whereas the fixed rate cannot go up until 2019.

There are even better deals out there, as our best buy charts show, so for anyone nervous about the future direction of interest rates, help is at hand in the form of fixed rate deals that give borrowers the certainty of fixed monthly payments and remove any worry about rate rises for almost five years.

Rising interest in the economy The brightening prospects for the UK economy have a downside, in that interest rates could rise when unemployment falls below seven per cent. As many firms are now hiring staff, that target could be hit sooner than was at first thought – the unemployment rate is currently 7.4 per cent.

However, the Bank of England will not raise rates automatically once the jobless figure reaches or drops below the seven per cent target, but it will then consider a rate rise. The difference may seem semantic, but one MPC member has suggested that 6.5 per cent is an unemployment level at which he would like to see a rate rise considered.

SPF Property Review South Ad:SPF Property Review South Ad

Yes or no?

The question of Scotland’s referendum on whether to remain part of the UK might at first glance appear to have little to do with the mortgage market, but it could have an important impact.

Halifax, the biggest mortgage lender, is part of the Bank of Scotland group, and should Scotland vote yes to leaving the Union, our biggest mortgage lender would, in fact, be a foreign firm. Additionally, if Scotland does not become a part of the EU (and Britain could leave too if a referendum is held after the 2015 general election), lenders could be exempted from the European Union’s Mortgage Directive, which protects borrowers, and which is due to take effect in 2017.

There are a lot of ifs, and it is hard to predict what might happen and what impact this would have on the mortgage market, but some brokers, such as John Charcol, have already given it some thought.

Non-prime is emerging

LOOKING FOR

Figures from estate agent Douglas & Gordon suggest that foreign buyers are looking beyond prime central London to buy property.

Michael Hodgson, Douglas & Gordon’s chairman, says that in 2013 the increase in values of property in the ‘rim’ around prime central London (PCL) was nearly 21 per cent. “After a couple of years of just lagging PCL, Emerging Prime, as we call it, has surged ahead in the last 12 months,” he said.

“Our analysis behind this suggests that it is not just the ripple effect of PCL owners selling up and reinvesting in nonPCL, but in addition that the international market has now discovered non-PCL and deduced that there is better value over there. Russians are buying in Kennington and Kensington.”

Living in reverse A Victorian house at a prime Battersea address has been arranged and styled by its current owner to provide a property ideal for modern family living.

Ground floor living space has been reversed to create a stylish kitchen with dining area at the front, and the former kitchen at the rear has been extended over the side return to provide a wide drawing room that leads out into the garden.

Second floor rooms have been merged in an unconventional way to make better use of space and

create a large master bedroom suite. There’s extra living space in a contemporary family room on the lower ground floor.

The house features an integrated sound, video and security system with Creston controls, as well as integrated sound in the master bedroom, bathroom and basement.

Brymaer Road, Battersea SW11, guide price £2,595,000, John D Wood & Co 020 7228 0174

Media and family A newly refurbished semi-detached house in Barnes Village has a sleek and contemporary kitchen, breakfast and family room with floor-to-ceiling glass doors leading out into the rear garden decking area and lawn.

On the lower ground floor, a media and family room also has glass doors leading out to a stairway up to the garden. The 3060 sq ft five-bedroom property in Melville Road includes underfloor heating throughout, Nuvo multi-room surround sound system, and a large walk-in shower. It also has a garage at the bottom of the garden.

ABBEVILLE Light floods into the superb contemporary kitchen diner at a sixbedroom house in Abbeville Village through a row of skylights and floor-to-ceiling glass doors.

This ultra-modern living space – featuring a glass floor-hatch over a circular staircase down to a wine cellar – opens out into a 40ft garden at the 3190 sq ft property on Elms Road, Clapham.

The house includes a double reception room, three en suite bathrooms, and offstreet parking.

southside As seen by Jonathan Dyson, sales manager of Hamptons Battersea and Wandsworth Taking the plunge Valentine’s Day is coming, love is in the air and many couples will be discussing the subject of moving in together.

Alas, what was once just about love is now also about business. A couple moving in together is a sure sign of commitment, when two people announce to the world that they will be together for a significant period of time, if not indefinitely.

The decision used to be more to do with love, with a bit of convenience thrown in for good measure. What we see more and more often, however, is couples moving in together as a business decision. They no longer need to love each other – or even to like each other – to buy a property together.

The last 12 months have seen some notable price rises and a likelihood that the market will continue to grow strongly for the next few years.

The cost to rent in the capital is extremely high and for many young professionals represents a large proportion of their expenditure. The flipside is that property owners are enjoying capital gains of around 10 to 15 per cent.

A young professional who wants to buy a modest one-bedroom apartment in South West London will need to have saved around £100,000 for a deposit and earn at least £60,000 a year. If this young professional now has a similarly professional partner to move in with, those figures come close to halving.

Once combined, and with mortgage rates as low as they are, our young professionals may well have mortgage payments significantly cheaper than their previous rental payments. And here’s the kicker – they could be earning up to £50,000 a year in combined equity.

Oh and call me cynical, but if it doesn’t work out for our two lovebirds, they can sell up, deduct the transaction costs, and are still likely to walk away in profit.

So now the first date is out of the way, isn’t it time to move in together?

Ready for update in Toast Rack hot spot Nestling in the exclusive area popularly known as the Toast Rack, an extensive six-bedroom semi-detached house in Baskerville Road has superb open views and direct access onto Wandsworth Common.

The house has many original features including high ceilings, and both the kitchen and reception room open out directly into the rear garden. The ground floor features a large dining room, kitchen, drawing room and wide reception room.

A central staircase leads up to an open landing with four bedrooms and

a bathroom, and then up again to two more bedrooms, a bathroom study and unconverted loft room.

Presented in an unmodernised condition, the property has been in the same family since it was built, and now offers the incoming buyer an opportunity to create a substantial family home to their own specifications and finish.

country view Special report by Richard Smith, head of Residential Sales at Savills Sevenoaks

G

iven the diversity of the UK housing market, national measures of price growth rarely reflect regional market trends.

While mainstream London prices sit 10 per cent above 2007 levels, prices in all other regional markets remain below their predownturn levels. In prime commuter belt territory, such as areas of Kent, prices have yet to recover fully, and those further afield remain typically 15 to 25 per cent below 2007 levels.

Sales of £5m-plus property may continue to set new records in London, but a price threshold at £2m has become entrenched beyond the M25, following recent increases in rates of stamp duty.

In both the prime and the mainstream markets, recovery seems to be spreading with a return to modest price growth in the prime markets across the South East in the third quarter of last year. While the strongest five-year growth will occur in the South of England, our research team forecast that all regions will outperform London over the next five years in terms of price growth.

Savills anticipates a modest but progressive improvement in mortgage lending, and as a result the greatest impact is likely to be in higher value local markets with more in-built housing equity.

The extent to which lower value areas will follow this lead will be limited by the extent of ongoing constraints on mortgage lending.

This means, even in a more widespread recovery, there will still be regional and local market divides.

For those considering selling, the current market presents an opportunity. With some time to forward-plan and to transform the property, making it as marketable possible, sellers of best-in-class houses are certainly in a favourable position.

country vibe Patrick Baily of Savills Cranbrook gives South a guided tour of Rye ATTRACTIONS Rye is a historic and picturesque hilltop town in East Sussex where the rivers Rother, Brede and Tillingham meet. Dating back to the Saxon era, Rye was granted its Charter by Edward I in 1289.

Built in 1329, the Landgate is the only remaining fortified entrance to the town.

Numerous medieval buildings line some of the cobbled streets and some of the most notable are the Ypres Tower and the Mermaid Inn. Smuggling was rife in the area from the 14th century and peaked in the 17th and 18th centuries.

Rye is surrounded by beautiful countryside to the north and west, a good deal of which is designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and to the east are Walland and Romney Marshes.

SHOPPING Rye has many shops selling antiques and collectables, in addition to some excellent interior design shops, jewellers and clothes shops. There is also a butcher, baker, grocery stores, vintner, and a local and large supermarket, providing almost everything for everyday needs.

TOP STREETS Almost every street in Rye falls in a desirable residential area but the most prominent are Church Square, Watchbell Street, Mermaid Street, West Street and Lion Street. We are marketing a lovely Georgian house at £1.25m on the corner of Mermaid Street and West Street with private parking, a very rare commodity in the town. From these streets are some fascinating rural and marine views. It seems that all roads in Rye lead up to the wonderful and ancient parish church of St Mary, a stunning building that gives Rye a fairytale quality

There is also the Ambrett, a well-reviewed Indian restaurant, and a Thai restaurant with a good reputation.

LEISURE Although Rye falls within one of the least populated parts of the South East, there is no shortage of things to do.

Amazing beaches nearby include Camber – a haven for bathers, wind surfers and kite surfers. There is also a long established sailing club, a tennis club and famous golf links. Rye has its own nature reserve, and a leisure centre in the town has a pool and a health club/gymnasium. There are some magical seaside and country walks in the area too.

GOOD SCHOOLS Rye has its own Community College and state-run primary schools – one of which is particularly well thought of – and there are two or three excellent nursery schools together with a selection of private schools for children of all ages. These include Saint Ronan’s, Marlborough House, Vine Hall and Claremont. Further afield is Benenden School for girls and Ashford and Battle Abbey schools.

TRANSPORT Rye has its own railway station providing regular services on the AshfordHastings line and beyond to Brighton.

Via Ashford, the high-speed link gives a journey time from Rye to London of less than an hour. Ashford is about 17 miles from Rye and set just off the M20, with connections to the M26 and M25 and the Channel Tunnel at Cheriton.

RESTAURANTS AND PUBS Almost every taste is catered for and exceptionally good restaurants include Webbe’s Fish Café in what is believed to be the oldest steelframed former warehouse in England, Mermaid Inn in a stunning period building providing for more traditional tastes, Landgate Bistro and Tuscan Kitchen, not to mention the George – a former coaching inn known that dominates the High Street and has been beautifully refurbished – and the recently opened Union Steak House.

Plans to transform two barns into one T

wo 18th century barns – one a tythe barn and the other a cart shed – offer a superb opportunity to create a magnificent country house with gardens, orchard and paddock on the edge of a Somerset village just 10 miles from Bath.

Court Farm Barns at Lullington is for sale with full planning consent to develop a bespoke five-bedroom country residence close to a former manor house and the historic All Saints Church with Norman origins.

Detailed planning consent allows for the two buildings to be linked via a glass corridor to form a single L-shaped dwelling with a total floor area of around 4600 sq ft. Removing two large modern farm buildings at the rear of the site will create expansive views across the open farmland to the north.

All planning permissions and licences are in place to suit a London buyer looking for an excellent development opportunity, with handholding from beginning to end. Local design company Stonewood can provide a bespoke service for buyers, if required.

Planning approval to transform Court Farm Barns into a country home has been welcomed by villagers, and the current owners – who are local – would

introduce the buyers to the local community.

With views over rolling countryside, the two-acre site is a 15-minute car journey from Bath and there are excellent school nearby.

Potentially the new buyer could be in by the summer.

Country hall and estate W

ith 55 acres and a history that stretches back for several centuries, Farley Hall was originally occupied by bailiffs and tenant farmers under the Albury Estate until it was sold into private ownership in the early 20th century.

The original medieval hall house, which forms the core of the property, has been progressively and sympathetically enlarged and upgraded to provide a superbly appointed and substantial family home of great charm and character.

Inside, the property retains many period features including exposed ceiling and wall timbers, leaded windows and inglenook fireplaces. More recent highspec upgrades include joinery using oak grown on the estate.

A large and elegant drawing room has south-facing views across the gardens and French windows to a formal rose garden. A bright reception hall, dining room and separate function room combine to make the house ideal for entertaining on a grand scale.

The modern kitchen and breakfast room and separate sitting room offer more informal and relaxed family living.

Five generous bedrooms enjoy views of the surrounding grounds and four of these have en suite facilities.

Farley Hall also has two cottages on the estate: a two-bed property with double garage and a three-bed bungalow with detached single garage and garden.

Farley Hall itself has a detached three-bay garage.

Approached via a track across the green, Farley Hall has extensive gardens and a secluded full-width terrace with superb views. A timber-built indoor pool complex has a Jacuzzi and sauna, and farmland beyond the gardens includes two storage barns, stabling, indoor sand school and more outbuildings.

REVIEW

surrey vibe Andrew Giller, head of Sales at Savills Guildford, takes South on a guided tour of Shere ATTRACTIONS The village itself is quintessentially English and has been used as a film set for a number of productions – among them Bridget Jones The Edge of Reason and The Holiday. Visitors to the village may be interested to see the old prison house and St James Church, which dates back to 1190 and has a lynch gate

by Lutyens.

A number of National Trust properties nearby include Hatchlands Park, Clandon Park, Polesden Lacey and Leith Hill. Those interested in Saxon history will appreciate Guildford Castle.

SHOPS There are a number of shops offering anything from afternoon tea to antiques. Importantly, there is also a village shop and a bank, as well as a doctor’s surgery.

TOP ROADS Among the desirable roads are House Road, Hook Lane, Shere Lane, Gomshall Lane and The Spinning Walk.

RESTAURANTS AND PUBS The village has three public houses: the White Horse, William Bray and the Prince of Wales.

Kinghams is well regarded in the area for using seasonal local produce and there’s a more extensive range of restaurants in nearby Guildford.

LEISURE Golf, horse riding and superb walks are among the many leisure facilities in the immediate vicinity of Shere. Woodland walks in The Hurtwood, Albury Heath, Blackheath and Silent Pool (where Agatha Christie famously disappeared in 1926) are popular.

SCHOOLS A Church of England infant school is in the village itself. The surrounding area is served by a number of state and independent schools with excellent reputations, such as: Cranleigh; Longacre at Shamley Green; Cranmore in West Horsley; Duke of Kent in Ewhurst; Glenesk in East Horsley; Guildford High; Ripley Court in Ripley; Guildford - Royal Grammar; St Teresa’s in Effingham; Lanesborough; George Abbot; Tormead; Howard of Effingham and Charterhouse.

TRANSPORT Transport links are excellent.

The A3 provides road access to London and the South, and the M25 (J10 and J11) provides a link to major motorway networks. Gatwick and Heathrow Airports are 20 and 29 miles away respectively. There’s a main line service to London Waterloo via Guildford within the hour from Gomshall station (under a mile away) and direct services from Guildford (about seven miles away).

surreyscene 2014 will be the year of the super suburbs

B

uyers are once again migrating down the A3 to secure their homes, according to latest research by estate agent Savills.

Historically, many property buyers in the Surrey borough of Elmbridge have come from South West London. Individuals recognised that they could exchange their period London home for a more impressive property on a larger plot – often for a similar amount of money – in leafy green suburbia but still remain within a half hour journey of the centre of London.

With the downturn in the property market and the realisation that property in the capital was far more likely to retain its value, the traditional migration of South West Londoners down the A3 corridor to Esher, Cobham and Weybridge and then their further migration, a few years later, to Guildford and Farnham, receded.

Savills believes the property market has now reached a turning point and predicts that the prime housing markets of this commuter zone will match or exceed the predicted 23 per cent house price growth of the prime housing markets of central London over the course of the next five years. That’s assuming there are no further changes to the taxation of high value property.

Lucian Cook, head of Savills Residential Research, reports that a number of risks to the prime London markets, most particularly around Eurozone default, have receded over the past two years, but because the taxation of high value property is likely to be a contentious policy issue in the run up to the 2015 general election, a lull in price growth before polling day is expected.

Savills forecasts that prime central London prices will rise by 3 per cent in 2014 before falling by 1 per cent in 2015. By contrast, the predominantly prime domestic markets, most notably South West London, are showing the strongest price growth. This is expected to continue in 2014 with 6 per cent growth anticipated.

Andrew Giller, head of Savills Guildford residential sales, said: “Since the downturn, buyers of prime property have been reluctant to take their housing wealth out of London. However, as property prices in London have continued to escalate, our office has seen a notable increase in the number of enquiries both from Londoners seeking better value for money, and Elmbridge residents who have historically continued the natural migration down the A3 corridor.”

Savills senior analyst Sophie Chick said: “The gap between prime central London and its prime commuter markets has probably peaked and wealth has finally begun to flow out of the capital ...We expect 2014 to be the year of the super suburbs.”

Old Farmhouse in Surrey has eight acres and pool A

mile and a half from the Surrey village of Dunsfold, The Old Farmhouse is an impressive Grade II listed residence, mainly Georgian dating back to around 1700 with late 19th and 20th century extensions.

The eight-bedroom property’s listing reports that the original timber-framed house was re-fronted in red brick and sandstone combined with brown and blue chequered brickwork. It has attractive elevations from all aspects, and the east side contains a number of bricked-in windows – probably from window tax days – under a clay-tiled roof.

Inside space is generous and light thanks to high ceilings and plenty of windows. The drawing room and sitting room provide elegant formal reception space, and a 30ft dining room has a large fireplace and beamed ceiling. The kitchen and breakfast room looks out over the garden and paddocks beyond.

On the first floor, the main bedroom serves doubleaspect views over the gardens and fields, and includes an en suite bathroom with large shower plus a fitted

dressing room. There are four more bedrooms and bath or shower rooms on this floor, and two bedrooms and an office above on the second floor. Total inside space is 7000 sq ft.

Gardens and grounds of eight acres are approached via a grand shingle drive passing an old period barn.

Around the house is a flagstone terrace, and the home also has a tennis court and an outdoor swimming pool.

The 2000 sq ft barn would be perfect for parties, and other outbuildings include a workshop, hay store, log store and stables. Dunsfold has a cricket green, village store and pub.

London 40 miles.

MIND THE GAP

Special report by Patrick Rampton, director of Rampton Baseley

I

find socio-economic theory fascinating – I’m talking Blink, Freakonomics, the Tipping Point, Nudge and so on. For example, why what a lot of people suddenly do hugely influences what a market might do, and conversely why what a market suddenly does hugely influences what a lot of people might do.

These phenomena act on global scales. Think South Sea Bubble, the Big Bang, the Dotcom boom, the recent Credit Boom and Crunch. The list is endless, and it all comes under the file marked Western Capitalism.

Largely, however, it’s about herds following markets and markets chasing down herds.

Anyway, I’m getting ahead of myself here. This is about letting properties in a cosy corner of South West London. The gains and losses are somewhat different, but the analysis no less interesting.

Consequently, while looking at our lettings figures for last year (the best ever BTW) and the preceding five years, I was struck by the repetitive similarity of the peaks and troughs in our activity.

If you laid the bar charts for each year on top of one another, they almost completely match: pronounced spikes of frenetic activity in early spring and then again in summer. Why? There are two crucial factors here: the academic year and the six-month break clause in a standard assured

short-hold tenancy agreement (AST).

Let’s start at the beginning: the New Year and so new beginnings. Families gather over the festive break and get a chance to talk and plan for the year ahead – let’s go and rent that new house (new tenants), let’s do that refurb (vacant properties), let’s buy (vacant properties).

Also in December and January a lot of people sign ASTs to qualify for primary school catchment (new tenants). And crucially, this time is when a lot of ASTs made the previous summer – that is, six months earlier – are broken (tenants AND properties). More of which later.

Consequently quite a few properties and quite a few tenants appear in the market. Result: market activity.

Back to those summers ASTs. They are formed because the academic year has ended. Therefore lots of graduates hit the market for their new London jobs, and lots of families hit the market for their new London schools (new tenants) Also lots of winter ASTs are ended. The refurbs are done and Johnny’s got into Belleville (vacant properties).

Result: market activity.

So where does this all lead us? Well I’m not sure really.

Maybe it’s just that we lowly agents are mere pawns bound up in a grand game of socio-economic forces known as the London lettings market. The six-monthly rules are dictated by the academic year and by the intricacies of that most intriguing of legal documents, the Assured Shorthold Tenancy agreement.

Data from the new Move with Us Rental Index, which focuses on Greater London, has revealed a £4411 gap in asking rents across the capital.

The most expensive borough last November was Kensington and Chelsea at £5438 per calendar month and Bexley the cheapest at £1027. This is an increase of £218 on the previous year, when the gap between the boroughs was £4193.

Average asking rent for Greater London has increased 4.34 per cent (£86.27) over the last year and 2.98 per cent (£59.24) in the last three months to reach its current figure of £1988.

Kingston upon Thames provides the most stable asking rents at £1668, changing just 0.11 per cent (£1.85) in a year-on-year comparison. Asking rents in Lewisham have changed the least in a three-month period, moving just 0.08 per cent (£1.08).

Robin King, director of Move with Us, said: “Rents across London have always differed greatly but the gap in the current market is extremely wide. Anyone looking to rent in the capital should do their homework as rents can significantly vary from borough to borough.”

the last word Petermans managing director Wendy Peterman gives her answers to South

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

My previous career was in the world of advertising and I worked as creative services director for a number of ad agencies including Saatchi & Saatchi. I loved the creativity and excitement of that world, although the hours were very long. I finally agreed to run into the family business after quite a serious illness.

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

I love interacting with so many different types of people and I really enjoy helping them in their quest to find a new home. At Petermans we build very good relationships with both vendors and buyers, and I love being asked back to see their homes a few years later.

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

I was asked this question by a friend’s son the other day, and my advice is to research both the financial and legal areas of the business as well as the property market. You need a solid knowledge base to be a trusted agent.

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

It’s a buyer’s market at the moment and I would advise any potential

buyer to have their finances organised prior to offering and be able to offer quickly. The market is moving very fast right now. First-time buyers need to understand the market and the protocols so they can be in with a shout.

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

At the moment the biggest day-to-day challenge most agents face is getting properties on our books. There is an acute shortage of property in this area.

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

South London still offers good value for money.

With the London overground having been built, we have seen really strong increases in values. The area has so much to offer with great schools and lots of green areas.

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

I would raise the stamp duty level to £300,000.

Our youngsters are struggling so much to get on the property ladder and we run a real risk of losing a whole generation of housebuyers.

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

This is a hard question for me as I don’t live in the area I sell property in, but Herne Hill has changed dramatically over the last 10 years and has a fabulous community spirit, so if I had to move that’s where I would live.

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

Easy question for me: I would be a travel critic.

What better way to see the world?

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

I think we will continue to see a rising market in South London, partly because of the shortage of property but also because it is such a desirable area.

Your move, our motivation... www.petermans.co.uk
