ask the expert… …sales agent

Q

After agreeing a price for my property, the buyer has indicated that he would like to renegotiate as a result of a survey report. Is this normal and how should I respond?

Daniel Turner, manager of Featherstone Leigh Battersea, replies...

A

Start by consulting your appointed agent. Like any firstclass residential specialist, we would expect and encourage any of our vendors to use us as a sounding board and negotiator in a situation such as this.

We believe that as we have been entrusted with the sale of a property, we are there to protect the vendor’s interests, while at the same time reacting fairly and responsibly to the buyer’s issues.

We would automatically request sight of the surveyor’s report to see if there are genuine issues, or if this is a buyer’s ruse to negotiate a price reduction – sadly as is often the case.

It is well known that surveyors can naturally be cautious, and buyers sometimes interpret certain issues to be worse than they are. Also we would involve you, the owner, at every stage as you may be able to shed light on the issues raised, from when you bought the property or from simply living there.

Should there be a genuine issue, you may consider fixing the problem yourself, time and money permitting. If the issues are more serious, you may be wise to seek further opinions from professional advisers, such as structural engineers, damp or timber specialists, particularly if the original survey has thrown up these types of issues.

We would continue to discuss the situation with your buyer, as they may be willing to take on board some responsibility for any future works.

In the final analysis, having quantified all the genuine issues, if the buyer insists on renegotiating the price, we would work with the vendor to agree an amicable outcome, to protect their interests and hopefully the sale.

marketview For those struggling to find good value in trendy areas, why not venture out to the fringes of prime postcodes, suggests Cheryl Markosky?

Catherine Harris of Haart tips Streatham as a cheaper alternative to Battersea or Clapham. “For the price of a one-bedroom flat, buyers can get a three-bedroom flat. Train links are fab with three stations and we have a Costa coffee shop now.”

Lordship Lane can be pricey, so why not go to the SE15 or SE23 fringes, suggests Wooster & Stock’s Becky Munday. “A three-bed £700,000 Lordship terrace will only be £350,000-plus here. In Nunhead or Forest Hill you can grab a bargain and be a short walk from baby yoga classes and coffee mornings on Lordship Lane.”

Purchasers priced out of Barnes Village should go north at half the price, advises buying agent Gabby Adler. Trading character for affordability reaps benefits of good schools, access to the Thames and a SW13 postcode. “Hunting in less desirable areas, where prices aren’t inflated, means more choice. If you can’t afford Putney or Barnes, why not look at neighbouring Roehampton?”

Christopher Firth of Chesterton Humberts Putney and Wimbledon Village says eye-watering prices in West Putney are driving buyers to East Putney. “With the tube, Wandsworth Town station, Wandsworth Park, and quality restaurants and cafes, East Putney’s looking more attractive without huge values West Putney and Southfields are seeing.”

For some, only the Wimbledon Village postcode of SW19 will do. But others are discovering Raynes Park – rebranded as West Wimbledon – according to Jackson-Stops & Staff’s Ben Babington. “SW20 has all the benefits of the Village on its doorstep, but is arguably nearer the Common and popular King’s College School. Yet with SW20 you get much more space, just without the A-star SW19 postcode.”

Sara Ransom of Stacks Property Search believes it’s time to re-boot on the concept of location, location, location. “If you love the area, but can’t afford it, it makes sense to consider not-quite-so-prime adjacent locations.

Frequently this involves little in the way of distances, sometimes just looking at the other side of a main road.”

If you’re moving to a fringe area, try to select the best streets, as these will be first to improve, she explains. “Stay close to transport and seek out good open spaces, parks, and amenities, and if you can, buy a property that has potential for adding value.”

Garrington property finder James Rawes sums up: “A bit like buying a Skoda instead of a Golf: you get exactly the same car, but with a different badge and for less money.”

village vibe Michael Randall, associate director of Hamptons Barnes & Sheen, takes South on a guided tour of Barnes Village ATTRACTIONS With over 120 acres of common land and a delightful village green, this Thames-side village is one of the best places to watch the annual Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race, as well as being home to London’s Wetland Centre. The annual Barnes Fair, arguably London’s most popular village fair, attracts large numbers of locals and visitors alike.

The pond is always popular with children feeding the resident ducks.

SHOPS A mecca for local foodies, Barnes boasts a grocer, deli, fishmonger and butcher in addition to a weekly farmers market. There is also a good range of chic boutiques to satisfy any fashionistas.

TOP STREETS Georgian houses along The Terrace, where the composer Gustav Holst once lived, offer stunning views of the Thames. The likes of Castelnau and leafy ‘Lion House’ streets are popular with growing families, and Little Chelsea close to White Hart Lane offers pretty Victorian cottages.

RESTAURANTS AND PUBS Barnes has an excellent range of pubs including the

Sun Inn, Red Lion, White Hart, Coach and Horses, and Bull’s Head for any jazz enthusiasts. Top restaurants include Riva and Sonny’s, while popular family choices are ASK, Pizza Express and Strada.

LEISURE With its own cricket green and rugby club, and nearby the Roehampton Club, Bank of England Sports Club and Rocks Lane Multi Sports facility, Barnes is ideal for the sporting enthusiast. Olympic Sound Studios, used by the Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, and more recently Oasis and the Kaiser Chiefs, is about to have a new lease of life and is being returned to one of its original uses as a cinema.

SCHOOLS Good local state schools include Barnes Primary and St Osmund’s.

Independent choices include St Paul’s, The Harrodian, Ibstock Place and the Swedish School.

TRANSPORT There’s easy access to London Waterloo via Barnes and Barnes Bridge mainline stations. Local buses connect to the District and Hammersmith & City lines at Hammersmith.

Special report by Emma Seaton, head of Sales at Savills Wandsworth

We had a surprisingly busy summer with young families and professionals looking to upsize. The majority of properties around the £1 million mark are attracting the most interest, particularly in The Tonsleys and the roads off East Hill.

We were concerned that the market may slow down during the Olympics, but interestingly we found that more people were working from home and so viewing numbers increased. We are expecting a busy autumn and have got some good new instructions coming to the market over the next few months.

In prime South West London, price growth exceeded that of Central London in the second quarter. Nonetheless, in these more domestic markets, growth slowed to 0.9 per cent in response to the general uncertainty in the UK economy, and specifically the banking industry, given the extent to which demand is driven by domestic family buyers employed in the business and financial services sector.

what’shot

There has been little evidence of bonus money in either the South West or Central London markets since the credit crunch. Price growth has been driven by the injection of housing equity from Central London, as buyers move along London’s wealth corridors, and existing equity is being recycled as families are reluctant to move into the commuter zone.

Though there has been less use of the offshore ownership structures that were specifically targeted in the last budget in this market, the increase in the general rate of stamp duty has created a price threshold around £2 million in these markets.

The lull in price growth in Central London is likely to affect the prime South West London market and contribute to weaker buyer sentiment that flows from the wider economic outlook. That indicates a similar period of static prices.

While we therefore expect the market to plateau for a period, five-year growth is forecast to be around 15 per cent.

Ava House on Coombe Hill Road is a £6.75m detached property designed and built to maximise light, space and modern technology.

An integrated audio system delivers your favourite sounds to the main rooms, and iPads control the heating, curtains, audio-visual systems and other high-tech applications.

Close to Kingston, Wimbledon and Richmond Park, the six-bedroom home includes a Bulthaup kitchen, underfloor heating, indoor pool, garage, garden, and off-street parking behind electric gates. Knight Frank 020 8946 0026.

celebritywatch One day the address could be as famous as Abbey Road: Chapman Square, title of the debut album of latest boy band sensation Lawson.

Band members Adam, Joel, Andy and Ryan shared an apartment on Chapman Square, a gated and portered development in Wimbledon. “The album’s title for us is special because it is the first place that we played together as a band,” said lead guitarist Joel Peat, 22.

Following hit singles When She Was Mine and Taking Over Me, the new album is released on October 22.

bestbites Peter Hermon-Taylor, lettings manager of John D Wood & Co Wandsworth, recommends a favourite eatery The Alma 499 Old York Road, Wandsworth SW18 • 020 8870 2537 Where? Wandsworth Town, close to the station.

What’s it like? Just like the old coaching inns of old, the Alma provides a relaxed home-from-home for locals and visitors alike, with eating, drinking and lodgings all under one roof.

And the food? The menu offers British dishes using fresh and seasonal ingredients, sourced locally where possible. It’s open for a full English breakfast, lunch and dinner, and typical dishes include Barnsley lamb chops, slow-cooked pork belly, freshly caught scallops, and 21-day-aged steaks and hand-cut chips.

heads-up

Keeping you informed about property news and events in your area

Prices ripple effect John D Wood & Co opened its 15th London office at 47 Balham Hill, Clapham, in September. Close to Clapham South tube, the branch is the company’s fifth south of the Thames and links strategically with its Battersea, Wandsworth and Wimbledon branches.

The office will sell and let properties across an area including Abbeville Village, Balham, Brixton, Clapham North, Clapham South, the Heaver Estate, Streatham Hill and Tooting Bec. Manager of the new sales office is Alistair Hilton, pictured, previously a branch manager in Balham and with seven years’ estate agency experience in South London. He is supported by two experienced sales negotiators.

Lettings manager is Elena Baskerville, also pictured, who has several years of experience in letting properties across all sectors of the market. She moved from Chiswick branch and is joined by a lettings negotiator.

Peter Young, John D Wood & Co managing director, said: “With 15 offices in London we are well placed to observe the ripple effect created by record prices being achieved in central London by our international purchasers. This is driving buyers and tenants to seek out better value and larger properties in neighbouring boroughs.”

Clapham manager Alistair Hilton said: ”I am excited to be launching a new office for John D Wood & Co and bringing this highly regarded estate agency brand to Clapham and the surrounding area.” More information on 020 8673 2854.

Top chefs show their skills

Legendary cakes for sale

Michelin-starred chefs Rowley Leigh, Phil Howard and William Sitwell demonstrated their cookery skills at Barnes Food Fair in September.

Almost 60 stands offered artisan foods from watercress muffins to smoked duck, plus English wines. Savills were main sponsors of the event on Barnes Green, which raised thousands of pounds for the Barnes Green Centre and Age UK Richmond.

Pictured in chef’s apron at the event is Paul Zammit, head of Lettings at Savills Barnes.

The legendary Macmillan Merton cake stall will be tempting fans of home baking at Merton Christmas Fair for Macmillan Cancer Support on Friday November 23.

The event from 10am to 4pm at Christ Church Hall, Copse Hill, will also feature stalls including handbags, scarves, belts, footwear, jewellery, candles, golf gifts, lingerie, silk and children’s clothing. Entrance £3 including tea and coffee.

Demand rises in core market Savills Putney has let six smart one-bedroom flats on Putney High Street during the last month, with rents ranging from £1200 to £1450 per month.

“In the autumn months we usually see a rise in demand for properties at the core end of the market,” says Richard Hole, pictured, head of Savills Putney Lettings.

“While we deal with some of the very best top-end properties, we also deal with some of the best stock at a core market level.” Current Savills stock to let ranges from studio flats to large family houses to suit a variety of budgets.

Sam Sproston and Rebecca Jane Higgins of Wandsworth and Clapham office volunteered as dog show judges, selecting the cuddliest dog and the handsomest male dog. One lucky visitor won champagne by guessing the correct number of balloons in the Knight Frank taxi. Sam, left, is pictured with a guest by the taxi.

Are on-line valuation tools misleading the public?

Alex Howard-Baker, director of Savills Putney “Online information can be both helpful and misleading in equal measure.

Context is always so important when considering property, and residential property in particular.

Online figures should therefore only ever be used as a guide, as a lead into, or backstop to, advice from an informed professional on the ground.

The condition, orientation and size of the property are among only a few of the factors in determining value, and let’s not forget the appetite and determination of a particular buyer to secure a coveted property. Value, just as beauty, is often in the eye of the beholder.

There is only one way to determine open market value and that is to market the property concerned, conscientiously and effectively, through an agent that will strive to find you the right buyer at the right price.”

Sam Sproston, associate at Knight Frank Wandsworth & Clapham

Hamptons Balham In last month’s Heads-Up, an article on the new Hamptons International branch in Balham, which opened on Bedford Hill on September 17 headed by sales manager Richard Humphreys and lettings manager Rachel HanniquetBrooking, both pictured, included ‘Clapham’ in the heading. It should, of course, have read ‘Balham’. We apologise for this South magazine error.

“Online valuations for properties can seem like a helpful tool for both buyer and vendor.

However, rarely do they get it right as this is something only an experienced estate agent or surveyor can do.

These sites collect data from the Land Registry, apply some growth analysis, and then create a snapshot of a road or an area’s property values.

The more houses that sell in that area, the better it works. However, there is no way of it determining a house’s size or condition, aspect or attributes and applying that to the equation.

Whilst a ‘rough’ estimate of price may seem useful, it is more likely to be misleading.

So if you want to know how much your property is worth, call a professional.”

REFURBISHMENT

Facing the Common Bolingbroke Grove, named after Viscount Bolingbroke, hugs the eastern border of Wandsworth Common and was once known as The Five Houses, after the number of properties facing the common at the time.

There are rather more than five houses here today, and one currently for sale is a 3660 sq ft four-storey, seven-bedroom home painstakingly restored and refurbished by the current owners.

Enter the house through full-height double doors into a wide hallway with newly restored Victorian floor tiles, high ceilings and a period-style pendant light. This leads to a kitchen and family room with space for a deep corner sofa plus a dining table for eight or more.

Folding doors open across the rear of the house into the 53ft garden, mostly lawned and with a decked and flagged area for a barbecue and al fresco dining. At the front of the house, a more formal double reception room has a feature fireplace and common views.

Upstairs, the master bedroom is at the front, and there are five more bedrooms (one could be converted into an en suite) and two family bathrooms. The loft could provide an extra bedroom and bathroom, if you like that idea.

Lower ground floor space has been extensively remodelled to provide a double bedroom, bathroom, nanny kitchen, and a large sitting room and playroom with plenty of natural light and easy access out into the garden. This could also be used as a self-contained apartment with its own front door for friends, relatives or staff.

DEVELOPMENT SITE

New pavilions to be built at The Old Tennis Club Two freehold plots of land, with planning permission for a five-bedroom contemporary home on each, are for sale at a secluded backland site in Wandsworth.

Described as ‘pavilions set within a landscape’, the two houses Between the Commons at the Old Tennis Club have been designed by Gianni Botsford, 2008 winner of the prestigious RIBA Lubetkin prize for international architecture for a scheme at Casa Kike, Costa Rica.

The properties in Thurleigh Road are conceived with open plan, family living in mind and wrap around the surrounding gardens to exploit views and optimise daylight and privacy for both. The ground floor contains large living spaces with open circulation and views out to the gardens, the first floor contains bedrooms with protected screened balconies, and a basement complex is configured to produce flexible living spaces, entertainment and leisure facilities as you need them.

Agent Knight Frank explains the design concept: “A simple palette of materials is used throughout including sliding and folding triple-glazed aluminium and timber doors and windows, elements of exposed concrete structure, unglazed terracotta louvers to the bedroom balconies as sun shading and privacy screens, and a green planted roof.”

House One has almost 7100 sq ft of inside space and House Two almost 7900 sq ft. Each has five

bedrooms, three bathrooms (two en suite), reception room, kitchen and family room, and two studies. They include a cinema room, indoor swimming pool, gym, garage and off-street parking – and House Two has a games room.

The development site, approached by an existing lane, is screened by existing mature trees and bordered by the gardens of neighbouring two to threestorey houses.

The Old Tennis Club, Thurleigh Road, Wandsworth SW12, Plot One £2.75m, Plot Two £3.25, Knight Frank 020 8682 7777 (Images are computer generated.)

“A key objective is to create dwellings with a great sense of privacy for future occupants and existing neighbours . . . Control of views has been central to the design” Gianni Botsford Architects

GRADE II* LISTED

Sense the history of the Old Friars on The Green When King Henry VII built Richmond Palace in 1501, replacing the fire-stricken Palace of Shene, he gave some of his land to Franciscan friends to form the House of Friars Observant.

Just 33 years later, these sharp-eyed friars were suppressed and expelled by the Tudor king’s heir, Henry VIII, yet their name lives on at Old Friars, a historic and Grade II* listed property for sale at The Green.

Patrick Glynn-Jones, head of Savills Richmond, says it’s always a treat to be appointed to market a house on The Green, and describes this magnificent home as one of the jewels in the crown, frequently asked after by coveting admirers.

“It has many wonderful characteristics, from the delightful reception hall to the pine-panelled and ballustraded stairway, from the circular windows and plasterwork at Beaver Lodge to the verdant and secluded garden,” he said.

“However, I can safely say that the drawing room at Old Friars is one of ‘the’ rooms I have seen in any house across my 25 years in this exalted sector of the market. It’s not the largest, nor has it the highest ceiling or the most detailed plasterwork. It has warmth, charm and a homeliness that envelopes you as you enter.

“One can sense the history, the conversations that must have taken place in this room, but also the ‘being at home’ atmosphere which is surely what such a room should evoke.”

The Duke of Queensbury is among the former residents of Old Friars. Beavers Lodge annexe, currently used as home offices, was once used by London club Bucks as a gambling den.

New Sales and Lettings branch

Hamptons International opens in Balham Hamptons International has brought its award-winning services to Balham, South West London. The new office occupies a prime location at 11-13 Bedford Hill, SW12 9ET. As well as another step forward in Hamptons International’s wider expansion plans for this year, the new branch has been set up to meet significant demand in the local area and perfectly complements the existing Clapham and Battersea offices.

The new branch opened its doors on Monday 17 September and the team hosted a highly successful launch party on Saturday 22 September. With the sun shining brightly, there was a fantastic turnout for the official opening, with many residents and local businesses turning up to join in the celebrations.

Highlights of the event included a wonderful jazz band and a competition to guess the number of helium balloons in a car, which was won by a local resident. The fun was not reserved for the adults, though, and children were treated to the delights of local children’s entertainers Bertie and Boo. Rachel Hanniquet-Brooking, manager of the Lettings Division of the new Balham branch, commented on the opening party: “We would like to thank everyone who turned up to join in the fun at our official launch party. We were absolutely delighted with the turnout and there were smiles and laughter throughout the afternoon.

“We have been running the business for a number of weeks now and have been thrilled with the response from the local market. We are excited about being able to join our sister offices in Clapham, and Battersea and Wandsworth, in providing the local community with our award-winning sales and lettings services.”

The Sales Division of the Balham branch will be headed by Richard Humphreys, who has 11 years of property industry experience, most recently as associate director of a residential agency in SW11. He has extensive management experience, is a local resident and has excellent knowledge of the area.

Richard says: “We’re thrilled to open our doors to the Balham market and provide the local community with our award-winning services. Our new office is in a fantastic location and is ideally

positioned to serve the residents of Balham, Tooting Bec and Streatham.

“The autumn market looks like it’s going to be extremely active, and with a healthy number of properties already on our books, we’re all set to hit the ground running.”

Lettings manager Rachel Hanniquet-Brooking also has 12 years of industry experience, most recently as director of Residential and Commercial Lettings for a leading international asset management company based in W1. Rachel is a Balham resident and mother, and has excellent local knowledge, which will prove invaluable to the Balham branch.

Rachel says: “Having lived in Balham and Clapham for over seven years, I know the area, the people and the property stock. The Balham lettings market is extremely fast-paced and as we move away from the summer months and into autumn, we expect to see high demand from young professionals looking for one to twobedroom flats, and families looking for larger homes. I am looking forward to delivering a fabulous service to all our clients.”

New homes update Report by Tariq Usmani, chief executive officer of Henley Homes plc Henley Homes prides itself on being a progressive and proactive company. Like the industry as a whole, we have been affected by the downturn, but we have managed to navigate our way through the extremely difficult conditions.

What remains unchanged is our core ethos, and quality urban design remains at the heart of what we do. As a result, we are a multi-award-winning firm that has gained national and international recognition for quality of build and design, and sales are buoyant, with our last three developments completing and selling out ahead of target.

Feedback from our agents in terms of the new homes market is generally positive but is particularly location and price sensitive. In the sector as a whole, even though it is struggling under the dual impact of funding squeeze for new homes and a depressed mortgage market, there is a level of muted confidence, or possibly people have simply learnt how to operate in the prevailing market conditions. Our headline projects, carefully selected by location and price point, seem to bode well with off-plan interest already being registered.

The next two years hold some very interesting projects for us across London. Currently in planning at the moment is the regeneration of the former Lilian Baylis school in Kennington SE11. This listed site, noted for its mid-century Brutalist architecture and courtyard-focused layout, will provide in the region of 165 beautiful new-build and refurbishment apartments in a fantastic location just across the river from the Houses of Parliament. Project completion is anticipated to be the fourth quarter of 2014.

Planning is being submitted on the former Annie McCall Hospital on Jefferys Road in SW4, a collection of striking Victorian buildings formerly a maternity hospital and now Grade II listed. They have been run as an art collective for the last few years and the finished site, along with around 30 new-build and refurbished apartments and houses, will also offer studio space to local artists. Among other ongoing projects at various stages of planning or construction is an exciting and iconic new-build tower in the Docklands.

Returning home to exclusive Esher Octagon have returned to their original heartland, Esher, the A-list commuter town with fast access to London Waterloo, where they are launching 13 period-style family homes in two secure and lavishly planted cul-de-sacs.

Located on exclusive Esher Park Avenue, St George’s Place offers four semi-detached townhouses and two detached houses. Wootton Place, overlooking a small lake, has four more townhouses and three detached villas.

All homes have brick exteriors with stone dressings and private rear gardens, and are set behind secure video-controlled entry gates.

What and where was your first London home?

I bought a two-bedroom Victorian house in East Dulwich in 2000. My mates thought I lived on the moon as they were all in North London, but they all live here now with their families.

Dine in, takeaway, or cook at home?

Dine in, especially a big Sunday Lunch with friends.

We’ve just spent a lot of money on a stupidly fast car. Worth every penny though!

Which living person do you most admire and why?

Can I have two? Cheesy as it sounds, my parents are a true inspiration and have always supported me in every decision I’ve made. They’ve been married 40 years and are still sickeningly in love, so a nice role model to have. I owe them a huge debt of thanks for all their support.

What is your most treasured possession?

My record collection.

MONEY

Game changer

moneytip

Lenders revise their suitability rules, reports Duncan Farmer

THINK ABOUT REMORTGAGING

£

Lenders are keen to do increased levels of business before the year-end, and this is traditionally a busy time as buyers aim to be in their new homes by Christmas.

There are high hopes for the Government’s new Funding for Lending scheme as we wait to see whether lenders will offer more competitive mortgage rates for borrowers requiring higher loan-to-values (LTVs). There are some excellent rates available to those with sizeable deposits of 25 to 40 per cent and above, particularly on five-year fixes and base-rate trackers.

Remortgaging is looking more attractive than it did six months ago. Money market rates at record lows mean there are some excellent deals, particularly for borrowers on their lender’s standard variable rate, as several have been raised recently. While interest rates are unlikely to edge up in the next couple of years at least, borrowers should not be complacent but seek advice to find out whether they would be better off remortgaging.

Residents of Strathmore Gardens in Kensington have spent more than £100,000 trying to stop a proposed basement extension in what is thought to be London’s costliest neighbourhood planning row, according to a story in the Evening Standard.

The owner of the £7 million, five-storey house won planning permission to build the two-storey basement with swimming pool, multi-level carport, gallery and gym 18 months ago, but his neighbours have objected and the case has ended up in the courts.

The Government’s new planning rules, which are aimed at boosting the economy and encouraging families to extend their homes or convert their lofts, seem a million miles from this dispute.

For the rest of us, who choose to improve rather than move, or new owners who want to extend or renovate their recent purchase, there is a more pressing obstacle than the local planning inspector – finding the money to pay for it all.

“While it may be easier to get permission for such work, paying for it is another matter,” says Mark Harris, chief executive of SPF Private Clients, the mortgage broker. “Many homeowners simply won’t have enough in savings so will have to

approach their lender for further funds.

However, rather than simply agreeing to a further advance, the lender is likely to underwrite the entire loan, including the existing mortgage, and reassess the borrower’s suitability.”

And that’s where the problem starts, because the criteria lenders use to assess a borrower’s ‘suitability’ have changed.

“If you are on an interest-only deal, for example, and your lender has reined back the maximum loan-to-value it is prepared to advance, you may have to convert some, or all, of your mortgage onto a repayment basis,” says Harris. “Or your lender may no longer take into account bonuses, which you rely on for a large part of your income, or your salary may have fallen so it no longer satisfies the lender.”

If you are one of the borrowers enjoying an extremely cheap legacy rate you may also find that your lender would prefer you to move all your borrowing onto a higher rate, not just the extra you are looking for to fund the building work. This is likely to be much more expensive, resulting in significantly higher monthly mortgage payments.

“The planning changes are good news but only if this is reflected in lenders’ desire to help,” says Harris. “As always, it is important to seek independent advice before making any decisions.”

SPF Property Review South Ad:SPF Property Review South Ad

LOOKING FOR

Prices tipped to rise further Homeowners’ confidence in the value of their own home is rising, according to Knight Frank’s latest London House Price Sentiment Index.

The report shows that households in the capital are expecting the biggest price rises over the next year with a reading of 63.1 – up from 61.3 in August – and the index has proved in the past to be a good indicator of future market moves.

“Growing evidence of a rebound in the domestic economy since the second quarter and recent better news on the labour market have all helped to buoy sentiment in September, which could perhaps lead to further gains in the index in coming months,” says Chris Williamson, chief economist at Markit, which compiled the report.

Lending slows The Council of Mortgage Lenders estimates that gross mortgage lending in August was £12.6 billion.

This is just one per cent lower than July’s gross lending figure of £12.7 billion and a four per cent fall from £13.1 billion in August 2011.

The Olympics is sure to have been a factor but CML chief economist Bob Pannell said that borrowing was higher than it had been earlier this year, although the figures were “far from strong”.

“We expect to see stronger take-up of the Government’s NewBuy initiative over the coming months, helped by a concerted marketing effort by builders and the recently launched Funding for Lending Scheme, which has prompted reductions in NewBuy mortgage rates. Both factors should stimulate buyer interest.”

Conference call The annual conference of the Council of Mortgage Lenders, which kicks off later this month, is unlikely to set pulses racing, but it will bring together all the big hitters from the banks and building societies.

You might expect such a gathering would attract sponsorship from a high street name looking to grab a bit more business, but this year’s shindig is backed by a firm most of us have never heard of, and probably would not want to hear from.

Crown Mortgage Management has 135 staff at its Ipswich office and specialises in ‘servicing’ mortgages. In fact, according to its website, one of Crown’s real specialities is knocking on the doors of borrowers in arrears – and its knocks usually produce results: either the defaulter pays up or Crown takes them to court. And when Crown goes to court it usually wins.

It may seem an odd partner for the CML, especially at a time when the Government wants to see fewer repossessions in these austere times, but Crown is obviously eager to demonstrate its skills to a very influential audience.

GRADE II LISTED

Coach house next to Putney tower A historic former Victorian coach house for sale in St John’s Avenue, Putney, once belonged to adjoining Rosslyn Tower, built in 1867 by Walter Thomas Jones of Pimlico.

The Warwick Square builder let Rosslyn Tower for a while before selling it in 1873 for £3,500 to Alfred Webb Miles, wealthy Hanover Square tailor and a pillar of St John’s Church. Miles and Miles of the family lived here until 1957, when it was sold to a dentist, who pulled teeth on the premises until 1974.

Pre-Raphaelite Brother Dante Gabriel Rossetti was a visitor to Rosslyn Tower, which overlooked the garden of 19th century poets Swinburne and Watts-Dunton.

They lived nearby on Putney Hill and today their former home carries a Blue Plaque.

No longer part of Rosslyn Tower, the neighbouring coach house on the market has a Grade II listed façade and the home has been extended over the years to create around 3100 sq ft of flexible living space on two floors. It still has potential to remodel.

The ground floor features two large reception rooms plus a fitted kitchen and dining room, and the first floor currently offers six bedrooms and two bathrooms.

You can park a number of cars offstreet at the front of the property, and at the rear a south-facing terrace leads to a mature 92ft garden. Putney station and Putney High Street are nearby.

Duck pond delights For years, generations of children have been taking their bags of breadcrumbs to feed the ducks at Barnes village pond. Now you and your children can do the same from a semi-detached house just a few hundred yards away.

Barnes Pond is maintained using funds from Barnes Community Association’s annual Barnes Fair, and is home to many breeding pairs of birds.

GREEN DEAL Most landlords are considering taking advantage of the new energy efficiency measures launched this autumn, according to the National Landlords Association’s latest research.

Sixty-three per cent of landlords say they are aware of the Green Deal and 56 per cent are considering taking it up.

The Green Deal is the Government’s vehicle to make all rental properties more energy efficient. Any rental properties found to have a poor Energy Performance Rating (F or G) after 2018 will no longer be fit to let under the new legislation.

Under the Green Deal, the cost of energy efficiency improvements such as loft and wall insulation will be paid through a loan attached to the property’s energy bills.

Victoria Cribb of Hamptons Clapham reports Not only has it been a momentous year for the country as a whole, but also here at Hamptons in Clapham we have enjoyed our 20th year in situ on The Pavement.

As the various celebrations drew to a close and the summer holidays came to an end, so we saw increased activity in the lettings market.

Usually our busiest month, August lacked the gusto that we experienced in 2011, leading to a backlash of activity in the September market, which replaced August as the strongest month of the year.

In fact September 2012 outperformed September 2011, a reflection of the market trends in general, and we expect that October will follow suit and prove to have higher levels of activity than we have experienced in previous years.

Clapham still champions itself as an excellent environment for tenants and landlords. However, we are finding that while the demand for properties is still high, the unprecedented high levels of stock are keeping prices on a much more even keel when compared to the strong figures that were being achieved at the start of summer.

One and two-bedroom properties are proving to be consistently popular, and high quality three-bedroom

Prop Rev South JULY 62 x 200_Layout 1 30/05/2012 11:50 Page 1

houses and flats suitable for professional sharers have been letting like hot cakes, a result of the appeal of the area’s amenities, the common and excellent transport links to central London and the City.

At the other end of the market, the family house and premium homes have been less predictable and interest has come sporadically over the summer. The market at this level is certainly harder to determine.

Some properties have had lets agreed immediately while others have been subject to negotiation. Pricing at this level has been extremely sensitive and we advise owners to be flexible on the rent they expect to receive.

Recent renewals, as across the year as a whole, have been strong. Many included rental increases in the region of 6 per cent, an indication that tenants have been choosing to remain in their accommodation rather than risk the larger increases they anticipate would challenge them in seeking alternatives.

I expect to see the market continue at a steadying pace as the bright lights of Christmas approach.

Tenants are spoilt with the amount and variety of stock currently on the market. Erring on the cautious side, I would advise landlords with property available to seriously consider ways to make their property stand out from the competition, and address any pricing decisions while there is still fuel in the market.

LIGHT HOUSE

Drive from the penthouse to The Windmill The Windmill pub and hotel on Clapham Common dates back mainly to the 18th and 19th centuries and is named after the windmill that once turned nearby.

Parish records show that miller Tom Crenshaw was also an alehouse keeper, and it seems that gradually the flour became less important than the beer. The site became a staging post for coaches, although Windmill Lane remained a rural track until 1840.

Nearby on Windmill Drive, a two-bedroom

penthouse apartment to let on the third floor of a period property delivers fantastic views of the common.

The property includes a reception room, open plan kitchen, study, and roof terrace with great views of Clapham Common and the London skyline. Off-street parking is on a first-come-first-served basis.

Close to Northcote Road in Battersea, a five-bedroom family house in Lindore Road features a large contemporary kitchen with double glass doors to a rear decked garden.

Natural light flows through the property, which includes a double reception, two modern bathrooms and a downstairs cloakroom.

Lindore Road runs south off Battersea Rise, near Clapham Common West Side.

the last word Tom Butler of Sheraton Law gives his answers to South Tell us how you joined the property industry and briefly describe your career history to date.

Most of my family have worked in the property industry, so it seemed the obvious thing to do when I left university. I joined one of Ireland’s largest estate agents, Sherry Fitzgerald in Dublin, for a couple of years before coming back to work in London and the South East. Having worked for Winkworth, Jackson-Stops and John D Wood, I joined Sheraton Law at the start of 2011 to set up their sales department.

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

I have always enjoyed working in the Clapham market. It is such an exciting and lively area, appealing both to young professionals buying their first property and families wanting to be near the best schools.

The biggest highlight to date has to be seeing the sales department expand over the last year as we begin to make tracks into this competitive market.

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

Most importantly, they need to be a good listener and have a patient temperament.

The main part of an estate agent’s job is dealing with clients, whether it’s trying to

Clapham Manor Street, SW4

win the instruction, negotiating an offer or trying to keep a sale together. The client is understandably not always calm, and they have employed you to make sure it always runs smoothly.

would have to say one of the roads off North Street or Old Town, such as Lillieshall Road, Orlando Road or Lydon Road. You are still minutes from the amenities in the Old Town and Clapham Common, yet tucked away in a quiet residential street.

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

Unfortunately for the past few years there has been a lack of good quality properties on the market. People are finding that as soon as a property comes onto the market, there are high numbers of viewings and it has sold within the first couple of weeks.

The best advice is to make sure you are registered with all the local agents, and contact them regularly to let them know you are still looking.

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

A chef. When I was younger I was always cooking, and briefly worked in the kitchens in Claridge’s. Unfortunately I never took it any further, and now I am married I am embarrassed to say my wife seems to do all the cooking.

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

People are often surprised at how high the prices are in areas such as Clapham. I think the reputation of the schools in the area, together with the good transport links and amenities, keeps demand for property very high, meaning prices are now similar to many other areas north of the river.

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