ask the expert… …sales agent

Q

As a seller, is it worth trying to negotiate on agents’ fees?

Ben Rymer, partner in Trindle Rymer Irens, replies...

A

Any seller’s ultimate goal is to achieve the highest price for their home. More often than not, they instruct an agent to make this happen for them. However, agents’ fees vary, as everyone knows, and is it really wise to instruct an agent because their fees are lower? And what does an agent actually do for their fees?

At Trindle Rymer Irens, we believe so passionately in our business, which is owned and run by us.

From the moment we meet with a new client, right up until the day we hand the keys over upon completion, we all work together with each of our clients to make sure we sell their home for the very best price possible, with little (if any) hassle.

Always kept in regular contact, with updated feedback, our clients know that their homes are in safe hands with us.

Arriving early before a viewing, to make sure everything is how we – and our clients, of course – like it, helps attract a speedier sale and buyers are never left waiting for us.

Armed with so much local knowledge about the houses we sell, as well as local schools, nurseries, shops, neighbours, and public transport, our buyers also know exactly what they are buying into. As a result, we have only had a very small handful of sales fall through since we opened – quite remarkable compared to some of the stories we hear.

Above all, our clients genuinely enjoy their dealings with Trindle Rymer Irens and are staggered at how hard we work for our fee (which we understandably stand firm on).

Hard working, passionate, knowledgeable, experienced, professional – we believe Trindle Rymer Irens are worth their weight in gold.

marketview There’s plenty to consider when selling or buying a house that needs to survive the winter weather, reports Cheryl Markosky Alex Howard Baker’s checklist for sellers shifting their homes in the winter is extensive: “Ensure the garden’s prepped, so shrubs and plants survive the frosts. Buy frost-resistant pots – or at least bubble-wrap – for protection.”

Other sensible ideas from Howard Baker at Savills Putney include: check drainpipes and rectify problems, get the boiler serviced, bleed radiators and towel rails, and sweep flues and chimneys.

And do you know where the stopcock is, he asks.

“I just had a flood, so speak from bitter experience.

The damage done before we shut off the water was staggering.” Also, consider draught-proofing for windows, beef up insulation and replace slipped tiles,” he adds.

Buying a house in winter is wise, as a vendor’s home is always in the best shape during summer. Getting a feel for its winter ambience will give a buyer real insight into how their future home will perform in the worst of conditions, advises Oliver Griffiths of Spicerhaart Battersea and Clapham.

“It’s important buyers look for good central heating systems, double-glazing and energy efficiency. A big tip is to view a property you like at different times of the day to get a feel for its all-round performance,” he suggests.

A seller needs to showcase how warm, friendly and efficient their home is in the winter. Having heating on, a fire burning, swept-up garden leaves and the smell of fresh coffee and bread can give the feel that your property is family friendly for buyers with a family, or that want to start one,” Griffiths points out.

Sarah Peck from Knight Frank Battersea recommends cleaning gutters, insulating the loft and making sure there’s no damp. “And buyers must consider the cost of heating, state of the roof, type of flooring, energy rating and state of construction.”

Your surveyor has a crucial role to play, says buying agent Gabby Adler. “If you see evidence of leaks from prolonged wet weather, ask your surveyor to check things out for peace of mind and to give you bargaining power to negotiate on the price.”

Adler thinks sellers should produce building regulation certificates “to reassure buyers that work has been done to a good standard and to minimise concerns over future problems.”

village vibe Hannah Richards, head of Savills Chiswick Lettings, takes South on a guided tour of Chiswick ATTRACTIONS Once a small fishing village, Chiswick is now a unique suburb: a vibrant area brimming with the activity and opportunity typical of London, still retaining a certain village charm.

SHOPS Chiswick has seen its image (and property values) rise even more rapidly than other London suburbs in the last ten years as new bars, restaurants and pavement cafés have sprung up all along Chiswick High Road. Several supermarkets and an ever-expanding range of delis, boutiques and niche suppliers mean that Chiswick residents rarely need go elsewhere.

TOP STREETS Timelessly elegant Georgian architecture complements Chiswick’s beautiful stretch of Thames riverbank.

In Bedford Park the Victorians created London’s first garden suburb, now a conservation area in which many of the houses are listed to preserve the Arts and Crafts character of the area.

RESTAURANTS AND PUBS Chiswick offers a wealth of fantastic eateries including La Trompette, Le Vacherin, Sam’s Brasserie and The Duke of Sussex pub.

LEISURE The green spaces of Turnham Green, Ravenscourt Park, and Grove Park including Chiswick House grounds are a huge attraction in the area. With the Thames as its southern border, Chiswick also attracts other Londoners at the weekend who will stroll along the towpath and stop in at Chiswick’s numerous riverside pubs. For these reasons and more, Chiswick is even becoming popular among international property purchasers.

SCHOOLS Chiswick is an area very popular with families, who are increasingly moving here for the excellent state and private schools including Belmont Primary, Chiswick and Bedford Park Preparatory and The Falcons.

TRANSPORT Ease of access has been key - four District Line underground stations serve the area and also connect to the Piccadilly, Hammersmith and City and Circle lines at Hammersmith, making it a great place from which to commute into central London and the City. Additionally the A4 gives very rapid access by car both into the city centre and out of London to Heathrow Airport and the west of England.

what’shot

Surrender to the void: an atrium lets the natural light flow at a flat-fronted townhouse in Battersea where an architectural and interior designed refurbishment is now complete.

The area forms part of the living and entertaining space on the ground and lower ground floors of the £1,395,000 four-bedroom home on Battersea Square. It includes a reception and dining room, second reception, kitchen and decked rear garden.

John D Wood & Co 020 7228 0174.

Special report by Daniel Turner, sales manager at Featherstone Leigh Battersea Since the beginning of 2012 we’ve had high demand in both our sales and lettings departments, which, when combined with the lack of stock, has resulted in some exceptional prices being achieved.

Demand is so high in fact that newly listed properties frequently go under offer within two to four weeks, sometimes less.

With Clapham Junction’s direct rail links, both into and out of London, and the wellserviced Northern Line offering fast access to London Waterloo and the City, the area has a natural appeal for commuters. The green open spaces and wide variety of shops and restaurants appeal to families and young professionals alike.

We’ve noticed an upsurge in overseas buyers this year, many of whom are being priced out of central London and recognise the value of buying in Battersea, Clapham and Wandsworth.

Autumn is a notoriously busy time.

Looking forward to the next quarter, I am confident the market will accelerate, as vendors who have been holding back put their properties up for sale and to let.

With our large database of prospective purchasers and tenants, I expect properties to be snapped up quickly, enabling buyers and tenants to be settled in their home by Christmas.

Demand for newly built and refurbished

apartments with high specification is always strong among professional buyers and investors in this area. We currently have a number of attractive properties on the market, both to buy and to let, which is good news for potential purchasers and tenants.

We have recently been instructed on a development by Henley Homes, Isabella Court on Elspeth Road close to Clapham Junction. Seven of the nine apartments are now under offer with high interest levels in the remaining two, priced at £535,000 for a two-bedroom flat.

In our lettings department, demand for property over the summer months has surged due to the influx of families looking to be settled before the start of the new school year, and young professionals starting new jobs in and around London. Tenancies tend to end during the summer months, resulting in slightly higher stock levels than earlier in the year, and properties let quickly.

This summer we’ve noticed more relocation agents enquiring on behalf of corporate clients and an increase in interest from buy-tolet investors who have recently bought in the area. Looking towards the autumn, I expect demand to remain high, and the lettings market to remain strong.

Lennon lived here with his wife Cynthia and their son, Julian, for whom McCartney wrote Hey Jude when John left Kenwood for Yoko. Set in 1.5 acres on the exclusive St George’s Hill estate, the mansion includes six bedrooms and six receptions - and the driveway where Lennon parked his psychedelic Rolls Royce.

What’s it like? A superb local deli where you can eat in or get a takeaway during your lunch break.

The staff are excellent and the food is so good that even on rainy days people queue down the street for their lunch.

And the food? They have a great selection of sandwiches and salads that change regularly and are made to order. Along with their lovely daily selection of cakes, it’s a must next time you’re in Clapham.

Keeping you informed about property news and events in your area

Inspiring Battersea Meeting demand from the generation inspired by London’s Olympic success, athletics facilities at the Millennium Arena in Battersea Park are being refurbished as part of a £100,000 investment scheme.

The eight-lane Olympic-standard running track will be completely refurbished and there will also be improved facilities for athletes who compete in the long jump and the pole vault.

Improvements coincide with work being carried out at the council’s flagship riverside sports complex at Barn Elms, which will soon boast new international standard beach volleyball courts.

Sand from the beach volleyball tournament at the London 2012 Games is being used to provide a long-lasting Olympic legacy in the borough.

Take advice from ARLA agents Landlords should take advice from an agent licensed to the Association of Residential Lettings Agents (ARLA), the professional regulatory body. That’s the message from Angharad Gabriel, head of Savills South West London Lettings.

“At Savills our aim is to have all our letting agents licensed within 12 months of joining.

ARLA licensed agents are fully briefed on all the latest legal, financial and compliance issues affecting the lettings market, ensuring you receive the best possible service and advice,” she said.

“You are also guaranteed that the agency is covered by the Client Money Protection (CMP) scheme and has professional indemnity insurance.”

Angharad recently welcomed Richard Hole (pictured) to his new role as head of Savills Putney Lettings. Richard has eight years of lettings experience, mostly in Belgravia. He said: “We anticipate a busy autumn market with demand for one and two-bedroom flats still high, further bolstered by a recent resurgence in the demand for family houses, with well presented, realistically priced properties still letting quickly.”

Sales manager Richard Humphreys heads the new Balham branch of Hamptons, which opened its doors on Bedford Hill on September 17 to complement the existing Clapham and Battersea offices.

Richard has 11 years of property industry experience, most recently as associate director of Chesterton Humberts in Battersea. “The autumn market looks like it’s going to be extremely active,” says Richard (pictured).

Lettings manager of the new branch is Rachel HanniquetBrooking. “As we move into autumn we expect to see high demand from young professionals looking for one to two-bedroom flats, and families looking for larger homes,” says Rachel.

Is the drop in rents just a blip?

Alison Purdue, lettings manager for Hamptons International Wimbledon The predicted demand for Olympic short lets failed to live up to its promise this summer and as a result there was a significant uplift in good quality longterm stock coming onto the market.

As supply outstripped demand at the mid-to-top end of the market, a slight downward pressure was exerted on rents in some areas. While these rental dips may be a blip as stock exceeds demand, the message to landlords is loud and clear: in a market where there is an excess of choice for tenants, properties need to be realistically priced and very well presented in order to stand out.

In contrast, even against the backdrop of higher supply in London, there remains a shortage of good quality one and twobedroom properties throughout the region.

Acquire office in Balham Acquire estate agents, based in Battersea, has opened a second office on Balham High Road to serve clients in Tooting, Streatham and Balham.

Close to Tooting Bec tube station, the new office is headed by Abdul Malik, who has 10 years’ experience in the area. Abdul is pictured, centre, with negotiator Afzal Mussa, right, and administrator Nasar Ali. Acquire director Aaron Nguyen Lu said: “We manage and let about 300 properties in Battersea and the surrounding areas, and the new office in Balham is a great strategic location for us to better serve our local clients.”

APR

Rohan Alleyne, lettings manager of Kinleigh Folkard & Hayward in Streatham

Lets director Victoria Chambers, associate director, heads the lettings division of the new Hamptons office on Barnes High Street after moving from the company’s Pimlico and Westminster branch.

She lives locally and has worked in estate agency for more than 12 years. Head of sales at the new office is Michael Randall, and Charlotte Colley joins the team as a senior negotiator.

The market was incredibly strong last year, with record rent increases across the board in London. In the Streatham Hill and Brixton areas we saw rents increase as much as 20 per cent in some cases.

This year, however, has been a slightly different story, with a shift from the previously landlord-driven market to a place where tenants are wielding more bargaining power.

As the lettings market can be seasonal, we have seen that, during quiet periods in particular, tenants have been able to negotiate advantageous terms, such as paying less rent or getting additional furniture.

I do not feel we have seen a huge drop in rental prices, but feel that rents are now at a more sustainable level.

HISTORIC HOUSE

Wimbledon’s oldest has a modern makeover Wimbledon’s oldest house, built in the early 1500s, has been introduced to the 21st century in a major high-spec makeover that combines the modern with the medieval.

The Old Rectory stands peacefully behind St Mary’s Church in grounds of 2.5 acres with gardens originally created by the Hampton Court Palace landscape designer. It has a separate gatehouse lodge and even planning permission for an indoor swimming complex between the fig walk and the double garage.

This historic property is now right up to date following a renovation and refurbishment programme featuring luxury fixtures and fittings and top-of-therange specifications. Italian lighting, video entry Banham alarm, CCTV, telephone intercom, and integral sound and wi-fi are all in the contemporary mix.

On the ground floor, a sun-filled entrance hall has a flagstone floor, original stone fireplace, stained glass windows, and oak-beamed ceiling. This leads to the private chapel and study with vaulted ceilings.

The main reception room of four contains woodcarved walls, a polished oak floor and a replica of a medieval fireplace from the V&A museum. A music room, reading room, family room and large dining room all have intricate wood-carved panels, stone fireplaces and oak floors.

In the newer part of the house, a huge kitchen is fitted with La Cornue appliances including a cooker and rotisserie, two island units, and double doors that open onto a side terrace. The first floor master bedroom suite has a sitting room, two dressing rooms, his ‘n’ hers bathrooms, and bay windows overlooking the gardens.

Total inside space is 12,882 sq ft plus garage, annexe and eaves storage.

CONSERVATION AREA

Created by Squire John His name forever linked to compost, John Innes was a 19th century businessman, property developer and benefactor who lived in the old village of Merton and created Merton Park.

Known as the Squire of Merton, he laid out land for development in the 1870s into one of the first garden suburbs, featuring fine houses on tree-lined roads.

Architects such as Henry Goodall Quartermain and JS Brocklesby helped him to build distinctive homes in the English Domestic and Arts and Crafts styles, many adorned by trademark holly hedges.

These homes are now safeguarded under two conservation areas also in the name of their celebrated developer: John Innes (Merton Park) and neighbouring John Innes (Wilton Crescent). A detached Edwardian house in the Merton Park area is currently for sale.

With a detached double garage and off-street parking for several cars, the six to seven-bedroom property in Mostyn Road has three floors of inside space together with a 120ft westerly-facing rear garden.

An entrance hallway with fireplace, bay window seating and parquet flooring leads to a drawing room, also with fireplace and bay window. The kitchen has granite worktops, Britannia range oven, and integrated appliances by Neff and Miele. Another four reception rooms include an impressive conservatory with French windows into the garden.

On his death in 1904, John Innes bequeathed his fortune and estate to the improvement of horticulture by experiments and research. The John Innes Centre, initially located at Merton but today in Norwich, developed the revolutionary loam-based composts used by gardeners for more than 60 years.

DEVELOPMENT

Past and present in perfect harmony Renovation, conversion and extension of the Grade II* listed former Normansfield Hospital, which dates back to the mid-1800s, has created a collection of apartments, mews houses and lodge houses at Gabriella Park Gardens.

Set in mature, leafy grounds within easy reach of Teddington, Richmond, Kingston and the Royal Parks, the development has been designed to combine historic charm and character with contemporary convenience.

The fabric of the existing buildings has been the subject of extensive restoration and refurbishment to match the quality and grand proportions of the original.

Many period features have been retained to enhance the living and communal spaces. Newly built apartment blocks have been designed to blend seamlessly with the old and create the illusion of established architecture.

Choose from a selection of one, two and threebedroom apartments, duplex apartments, two-bedroom mews houses and one-bedroom lodge houses. All are equipped with high-spec kitchens and appliances, luxury bathrooms and fine detailing. Car and cycle parking is incorporated into the landscaped grounds.

Rob Pemberton of estate agent Winkworth said: “Visitors to the development are hugely impressed with every aspect of the scheme, reflected in our remarkable sales success with 80 per cent of the first phase reserved within a month or so of release, resulting in the early release of further units in phase two to fulfil demand.”

Gabriella Park Gardens is close to Hampton Wick station, 35 minutes from London Waterloo.

New homes update Report by Nick Vaughan, head of Residential Development and Investment at Hamptons International After an eventful summer that showcased London in all its splendour, there was some nervous anticipation as to what the impact would be on the development market. We needn’t have worried with two of our showcase South West London schemes selling well: Langham Square in Putney and Ipsus07 in Clapham.

Both schemes have been selling off-plan ahead of schedule and both have produced fantastic sales results considering market conditions. What has been of particular interest is the buyer profile of these schemes, with the majority of purchasers being owner-occupiers.

This carries on a trend of increasing off-plan domestic sales that we are seeing across greater London as a whole. It also shows the strong connection people form with this part of London, and their willingness to commit to buying so far in advance.

Ipsus07 has been a real success story with 50 per cent of the development selling before the formal launch on September 22. It shows the strength not only of the location but also the confidence in the developer. Langham Square has also been a great success: it was launched in early 2012 and is now over 80 per cent sold nearly a year ahead of completion.

Drum and base venue New scheme Ipsus07 in Clapham, the latest project by Ipsus Developments of South West London, combines modern architecture with traditional stone materials and the rejuvenation of a Grade II listed building. Completion is due later this year.

Nick Pendlebury of Ipsus says: “We’re thrilled to be marketing the first substantial residential development in Balham Hill for many years.

Ipsus07 ticks a lot of boxes for prospective buyers: internal attention to detail, rapid access to public transport, proximity to amenities and private landscaped gardens.”

Centrepiece of the exterior will be the restored Drum Tower – recently covered from view – one of eight deep-level air-raid shelters created beneath London underground stations during the Second World War. It was built as an extension to Clapham South station to house essential services.

“The Drum is to be refurbished and given prominence for both apartment owners and the public to enjoy. This now listed building will have a display panel to show the fascinating past of this historical monument,” says Nick.

The 41 high-spec one and two-bedroom apartments, 130 metres from Clapham South tube station, have kitchens by Design Space

London and access to the calm of the private landscaped gardens.

Tom Hawkins at Hamptons International says: “Ipsus07 offers potential purchasers a fantastic opportunity to invest in one of the area’s most exciting new developments. We’re expecting significant demand from local young professionals looking for exceptional quality and location.”

Central Park Two Phase Two of the Central Park development in Lewisham is about to launch. Interested buyers can reserve one or two-bedroom apartments with spectacular panoramic views across London.

All apartments in Jubilee Heights and Kestrel House have terraces or balconies, 12-hour concierge services and the option to buy parking.

Isabella has two homes to sell Just a couple of two-bedroom apartments remain for sale at Clapham’s Isabella Court, set in the grounds of a Victorian villa steeped in social history.

This latest scheme from Henley Homes is a collection of nine apartments in the gardens of Gilmore House, once the headquarters of a charitable organisation set up in the late 19th Century by renowned churchwoman Mrs Isabella Gilmore to train women to help the poorest parishes in South London.

Apartments feature open plan kitchen living dining areas, with bespoke kitchens and integrated appliances concealed in white high-gloss units. Bathrooms have white sanitaryware by Villeroy & Boch with Hans Grohe fittings and large format porcelain and ceramic floor and wall tiles. Two-bedroom apartments have an en suite with walk-in shower and a family bathroom.

Landscaped communal gardens are for residents only, and access to Isabella Court will be via a security card system, or video entry for visitors. Close to Clapham Common, the development is walking distance from Clapham Junction Station.

Isabella Gilmore, sister of textile artist and writer William Morris, served the poor of the district from Gilmore House for more than 20 years.

BATTERSEA Close to the Thames and Clapham Junction station, a new apartment at The Regent by Linden Homes has an open plan kitchen, living and dining area.

The property in Gwynne Road, Battersea, offers two double bedrooms – one with a private balcony – and a bathroom. It’s also handy for Northcote Road’s restaurants and boutiques.

HOMEOWNERS PAY LESS FOR THEIR MORTGAGES

MONEY

The amount of money homeowners are using to pay their mortgages is falling as rates continue to remain low. According to the latest figures, borrowers set aside only 29 per cent of their salary to pay their home loan, compared with 40 per cent between 2005 and 2007.

That is hardly surprising as average standard variable rate loans now have a rate of 3.1 per cent, compared with 5.4 per cent in 2007. The difference in house prices over the period is minimal: in 2007 average prices stood at £167,860 as opposed to £164,729 today.

Switch hunt Seek out the bewitching new deals, says Duncan Farmer If Nationwide’s latest house price figures, which showed average house prices rising by 1.3 per cent in August, were a surprise, they were nothing compared with Land Registry data showing a 6.5 per cent jump in London prices in July.

Analysts say both are statistical anomalies, skewed by seasonal adjustment – and very low volumes of actual sales. Even so, they are far better than expected. Wet weather failed to put off buyers, and the Olympics, Diamond Jubilee and Euro 2012 football tournament don’t seem to have had the downward push on values many had feared.

With many lenders now cutting rates as September heralds the start of a final push in property sales before the end of the year, the next couple of months could bring more good news.

“Lenders are keen to take advantage of the expected flurry of activity with a number launching new deals designed to entice borrowers,” says Mark Harris of SPF Private Clients. “So whether you’re buying a new home or simply remortgaging your

moneytip OPTIONS TO FIX AND SAVE Santander recently announced it is to increase its Standard Variable Rate from 4.24 to 4.74 per cent. Clydesdale, Cooperative Bank and ING are just some of the other mortgage lenders that have also increased their SVR in recent months. Borrowers sitting on SVR mortgages will probably have seen, or are about to see, their payments go up because of such action.

If you are sitting on an SVR of over 4 per cent then you potentially have options to remortgage. With lenders currently offering short and long-term fixes at sub-3 per cent for those with large equity levels, savings are there.

existing one, there are plenty of attractive options available.”

If you have plenty of equity in your home, Northern Rock has launched a two-year fix pegged at 2.79 per cent for those requiring a 55 per cent loan to value, although it does have a £1095 fee.

Skipton Building Society has cut rates on its two, three and five-year fixes on buy-to-let and some residential deals by up to 0.4 percentage points, while Woolwich has launched a number of remortgage deals designed to attract borrowers whose lenders may have raised their standard variable rates.

For example, it has cut its two-year fix from 3.74 to 3.49 per cent, and reduced a selection of two, four and five-year fixed rates by up to 0.3 percentage points on loans between 70 and 90 per cent loan to value. Existing customers can also qualify for a fee-free five-year fixed rate at 3.49 per cent on loans up to 95 per cent.

“With some great deals being launched, it is well worth looking at what’s available and assessing whether you would be better off switching from your current deal,” says Harris.

LOOKING FOR

LENDING A HAND As reports suggest it is becoming harder for firsttime buyers to get on the property ladder, there are still schemes out there offering help to young buyers, such as Lloyds Lend a Hand, where a youngster puts down a five per cent deposit and their parents invest 20 per cent of the purchase price in a savings account with Lloyds as additional security.

Mark Harris of SPF said: “Other schemes include the Family First Guarantor mortgage from National Counties Building Society and Bath Building Society’s Parental Assisted Mortgage Scheme. Both require a second charge over the parents’ property.”

FINANCE?

It costs us more, says Santander Spanish bank Santander, which includes brands such as Abbey, is increasing rates for borrowers on its standard variable rate from October in a move that will add hundreds of pounds to customers’ annual repayments.

The rate is rising by rate by 0.5 percentage points from 4.24 to 4.74 per cent on October 3.

A borrower with a £200,000 25-year mortgage will see their repayments climb by £56 a month or £680 over a year. A spokesperson for Santander said: “This move is prompted by several factors, most notably the fact that for the last three years the amount it costs us to provide mortgages and the rates we offer our savings customers have been increasing despite the base rate remaining static.” Earlier in the year there was a spate of increases as Halifax, Royal Bank of Scotland and Bank of Ireland all raised their rates.

Whether you are buying your first home, next home or need to remortgage, look no further than SPF Private Clients for specialist mortgage advice.

Seven-year fix HSBC has announced a seven-year, fee-free, fixed-rate mortgage available at up to 90 per cent of a property’s purchase price. The new loan has a rate of 4.89 per cent, and is also available as a two, three and five-year fix, and it has no booking fee, standard valuation or completion fee.

HSBC is also offering a fee-free lifetime tracker for first-time buyers and home movers at a rate of 4.49 per cent, again for borrowers with a deposit of just 10 per cent.

Peter Dockar, head of mortgages at HSBC, said: “These latest products offer firsttime buyers the helping hand they need to get onto the property ladder with a marketleading rate and no upfront fees. We are committed to helping our customers finance their homes, and with the strength of our funding model will continue to support borrowers by offering affordable mortgages.”

Lawrence Somers-Yeates of John D Wood & Co reports The lettings market in Wandsworth was relatively quiet over the summer as people were away on holidays or occupied watching the London 2012 Olympics. Many applicants unsure of the area they want to live in used the time to explore different neighbourhoods.

Those seeking two-bedroom flats, in particular, have been under no pressure to secure a let as they have had a wealth of properties to choose from. Now the summer holidays are over and schools have gone back, we have had many more enquires and viewings. Tenants are concentrating on finding a new home, especially families keen to move in the October half term.

We have also taken instructions from several new landlords who have chosen to let out their properties using our full management programme while they move to the country for a lifestyle change or abroad with work.

Rental prices have plateaued as supply and demand have equalised, making it an ideal time to secure an excellent price if you are thinking of moving.

One-bedroom flats are a market unto themselves, continuing to be the most requested property, with

those in excellent condition renting very quickly.

Lately I have noticed that a large number of applicants looking for one and two-bedroom flats are doing so because their tenancies have been terminated as their landlord is selling the property. As a result, and with mortgages becoming increasingly difficult to obtain, tenants are requesting longer tenancies for greater long-term security. Most are agreeing to 12-month terms without break clauses, with others preferring an 18-month lease with a break clause after a year.

Schools are central to the family house market in Wandsworth thanks to its excellent state primary schools such as Allfarthing, Beatrix Potter, Honeywell and Swaffield. Catchment areas have shrunk over the past few years due to a local baby boom and increased demand from local residents, so it is interesting to see the opening of the new fee-paying Wandsworth Prep on Melody Road in September.

For tenants wanting to rent within the catchment area of one of the state primary schools, I would strongly advise them to do their research before agreeing to rent a certain property.

the last word Rampton Baseley director Joel Baseley gives his answers to South Tell us how you joined the property industry and briefly describe your career history to date.

When I was 20, I walked up and down Lavender Hill in Battersea with my CV. I was offered a job by Winkworth, where I stayed for a happy seven years before being headhunted by Douglas & Gordon at Northcote Road. I had two splendid years at D&G before I could no longer resist the lure of self-employment and the opportunity to create a niche estate agency with my partner Patrick Rampton.

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

My clients regularly become friends and I’ve never lost the excitement of agreeing a sale.

The general success of our company is very satisfying given the difficult nature of the market when we started.

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

This is the same with any job that involves putting together a buyer and a seller. Both parties are always coming from completely different angles.

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

measures would you introduce?

Be prepared to put in long hours and work hard.

I’d abolish stamp duty. I don’t agree with taxing people on money that has already been taxed.

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

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

Luckily we operate in an area that is in extremely high demand, but people only want to buy properties that other people want to buy. If your property sits on the market too long, it may get stigmatised and stale. Get the price right on day one.

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

I’m very happy where I live just off Wandsworth Common.

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

In my fantasy world, I’d have worked in the music business, because I love music and playing my guitar!

I can’t speak for the entire South London property market.

However, Northcote Road and surrounding areas attract growing families that want to put down roots. Renting is often not considered.

This translates to a robust selling market in difficult times.
