ask the expert… …sales agent

Q

When is a loft an official extra bedroom? I am buying a property but have not exchanged contracts yet.

It was advertised as a four-bedroom house but the fourth bedroom is actually a loft room. There are stairs going up to it but it all looks fairly amateurish and would not be classed as a full loft conversion.

Alex Oppenheim, associate director of John D Wood & Co, based in Battersea, replies...

A

With property values and the associated costs of moving so high, it is sensible that owners who have access to loft space consider converting the area into additional living or accommodation. It also adds value.

A loft conversion is considered to be permitted development, and planning permission is not necessarily required, unless the existing plane of the roof slope is to be altered. Compliance with building regulations is required, of course, as is fixed access, minimum head height, heating and fenestration – the list goes on.

Given the sums involved when purchasing a property, most buyers employ the services of a structural surveyor. If the property has a loft conversion, the surveyor will inspect and advise accordingly. Should there be any questions arising, these can be answered via the selling agent and solicitors.

Failure to follow the guidelines and regulations governing loft conversions may deem the space not being classified as such. This will have an impact on value and possibly cause delay when the time comes to sell. Clients frequently ask about all types of extension, but lofts are especially common.

I would always advise that careful planning from the outset is extremely important.

Consider the requirements and set these against available space. Seek advice from an experienced builder or specialist loft conversion firm and obtain a range of quotes. A client recently showed me three different quotes for the same works and the price range was 35 per cent.

A well planned and constructed loft conversion will provide more space and increase the value and saleability of a property.

marketview How can you make your property stand out in the autumn market if you’re a seller? And, if you’re a buyer, how can you best cope with what’s on offer and put yourself into prime buying position? Cheryl Markosky gets tips from the experts.

Sellers “Make sure the house is warm, welcoming and bright.

Clean the windows, clear the garden and give the front door a lick of paint – first impressions last.”

Danny Hardy, Kinleigh Folkard & Hayward Battersea “Entrance halls can become cluttered, as children go back to school and colder weather sets in. Extra coats, hats, scarves and boots make the hall feel smaller, so pack as much away as possible in cupboards before viewings.”

Edward Foley, Winkworth Wimbledon “The key to making a house stand out is to have it decluttered, clean and smelling nice. It’s important to keep your house looking tidy. You don’t want people saying, ‘I remember that one - it was the one with the unmade bed!’”

Robin Chatwin, Savills Battersea, Clapham and Wandsworth Buyers “Stay in touch with agents so you’re top of the pile when the right place comes up. Be flexible and have vision.”

Danny Hardy, Kinleigh Folkard & Hayward Battersea “Be forthcoming with agents about what you’re looking for and respond quickly. Look at all properties of interest, as photos and floor plans don’t always give a true representation. If keen to move quickly, prioritise your criteria about what you need over what you want (such as location over outdoor space).”

Andy Walker, Townends Putney “Consider ‘curb appeal’: re-paint old fences, pull up weeds and cut the grass if there’s a front lawn.”

Andy Walker, Townends Putney “Don’t be frightened of going to see a property. It might not look perfect on paper, but it may be the ideal home for you. When there isn’t much on the market you need to look out of the box. Then you might find the unexpected works for you.”

Robin Chatwin, Savills Battersea, Clapham and Wandsworth

village vibe Alex Howard Baker and Helen Whitfield of Savills take South on a guided tour of Putney ATTRACTIONS Rowing clubs host the start of the Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race each year. This year the Olympic Cycling Road Race came past the Savills office.

SHOPS These range from smaller boutiques and quirky coffee shops to the Putney Exchange, which has a range of High Street brands, all under cover. There is also a Waitrose and Sainsbury’s, both with their own parking, and a smaller Marks & Spencer and a Tesco Express.

TOP STREETS Many desirable roads are within school catchment areas or close to green open spaces or the river. Popular roads include Deodar Road, particularly on the river side, Lower Common South, overlooking the Common, and Gwendolen Avenue.

RESTAURANTS AND PUBS You’ll find a diverse range of foods from many origins.

Enoteca Turi has two Michelin knife and fork symbols. The Prince of Wales on the corner of the Upper Richmond Road and Oxford Road has converted the old snooker room to provide English pub food to an excellent standard.

LEISURE There are fantastic open green spaces for walking, jogging or cycling and the exclusive Roehampton Club provides exceptional tennis courts and swimming pools.

SCHOOLS The area’s excellent schools include Brandlehow, a popular primary state school where people move to live in the catchment area. Putney High and Putney Park provide excellent independent education. Ibstock School continues to be a draw to the area, and the acclaimed St Mary’s and Our Lady Victory, which are non-fee-paying, maintain an excellent standard of education.

TRANSPORT East Putney underground is on the District Line, and Putney mainline rail takes approximately 15 minutes to commute into the city. Bus numbers 22 and 14 provide useful links into central London and the 93 takes you straight to Wimbledon Village. By car, you can be in the countryside in 20 minutes via the A3.

Special report by Jeremy Best of John D Wood Wandsworth As the leaves turn and the nights draw in, we proudly reflect on a momentous year for London. With the celebration of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee and the London 2012 Olympics, it has been heartening to see how Wandsworth residents and businesses have embraced these celebrations with a plethora of Union flags and festivity.

Hit by seemingly never-ending showers, street parties have stoically canopied over the cup cakes and partied on, and the sodden John D Wood bunting needed an emergency launder and press between parties! Sponsoring both the Toastrack Residents Association and the Wandsworth Common Westside Jubilee parties, we enjoyed the warmth of hospitality these occasions bring.

This sense of community is one of the many reasons that Wandsworth attracts buyers, not only families but young professionals too. The fast overland links make the Earlsfield, Wandsworth Town, and Clapham Junction vicinities attractive to the early risers heading for the City.

The migration from these areas, such as the hop over East Hill into the Allfarthing Lane area, has become a well-beaten track when marriage and children demand more space. The attraction of excellent local schools, both independent and state, continues unabated. Ofsted reports and catchment distances are oft quoted by

heart as the competition for places becomes intense.

We saw at first hand the high standards at these schools when we sponsored the summer barbecue at Swaffield School. Happy, polite and motivated pupils (and staff) enjoyed a sunny evening, and our helium balloons proved a hit with the children.

With our office situated on the corner of the Toastrack and Wandsworth Common, we hold an enviable strategic position (also useful for Twinkle the office terrier). This year has seen an increased demand for the large family houses on the Toastrack and especially undeveloped properties. The appetite to do one’s own grand design is never stronger, and the increased cost of moving means people are buying to create their ‘forever home’. The stamp duty increase at £2m has added to these concerns.

However, the unrelenting demand coupled with historically low stock has meant frequent competitive bidding between buyers. Our well-structured sealed bid process has kept the disappointment to a minimum during these emotive times.

As schools return and the nights close in, the rush ‘to be in before Christmas’ will see us traditionally busy throughout this period.

heads-up

Keeping you informed about property news and events in your area Commercial expansion Featherstone Leigh’s commercial division, launched 18 months ago, reports a 50 per cent increase in transactions compared to last year.

Instructions across Battersea and Fulham are on the increase, says the company, which is also seeing continued steady growth in Richmond and Barnes.

Headed by Andrew Weeks, pictured, the department is supported by their network of residential offices throughout South-West London.

Kew the music, champagne and umbrellas Legends of pop, rock and disco performed to sell-out crowds of around 35,000 over six nights at this year’s Kew the Music summer concerts at Kew Gardens.

Status Quo, M People, Gipsy Kings, Will Young, James Morrison and Nerina Pallot were among the headline acts at this major event, sponsored by estate agent Winkworth together with other partners including John Lewis.

Winkworth staged a pop-up Champagne Garden in association with Moet &

Chandon, where concertgoers could relax and enjoy the show – and shelter from the rain. Winkworth golf umbrellas were a big success.

Amber Rampley, Winkworth marketing director, said: “Winkworth directors and office staff manned the gardens, volunteering their own time to ensure all guests were comfortable and enjoying themselves – even providing impromptu entertainment between acts! It was a great way to get out of the office and show the more relaxed side of our business.”

Boutiques to showcase their collections Boutiques of Barnes will showcase their latest collections at a fundraising fashion show in St Mary’s Church on September 27.

For the second year running, Barnes Charity Fashion Show will be sponsored by estate agent Marsh & Parsons and hosted by Richmond Park MP Zac Goldsmith. Twickenham-based vocalist Shelle Luscombe will also perform. The event will raise money for local charities

Castelnau Community Centre, Friends of St. Mary’s Barnes, and Trekstock.

Marsh & Parsons also sponsors the annual Trinity River Walk to raise money for Trinity Hospice. BBC news presenter Ellie Crisell cut the starting ribbon for this year’s event in July. And at the end of August, Marsh & Parsons cyclists pedalled 56 miles from Portsmouth to Poole in a charity challenge for the Estate Agency Foundation.

Tips for first-time buyers Robin Chatwin, head of Savills Wandsworth, Clapham and Battersea

Teams weather the storm Stormy weather could not stop Savills South-West London lettings and property management teams from running the Hammersmith 5k Race for Life for Cancer Research UK. Raising more than £1400 for the charity, they all completed the course in less than 45 minutes. Emily Hayward, head of Savills Wandsworth, led the pack and crossed the line in an impressive 27 minutes.

Barnes High Street launch Hamptons International has launched a new Barnes office to meet demand in the area and to compliment its existing branches in Putney and Sheen.

The office on Barnes High Street is headed by Michael Randall, pictured, manager of the Sheen office for the past 12 years, who will now run both the Sheen and Barnes offices as an associate director Assistant manager is Edward Sainter, who has seven years’ experience in the local residential property market and previously worked for Foxtons in Richmond. Nick Winter moves across from Hamptons Wimbledon to join the team as a negotiator.

Sarah joins Battersea team Sarah Peck has joined Knight Frank’s new Battersea office in the Albion Riverside building as a sales and lettings negotiator.

The office opened in April and Sarah joins the Battersea team including head of sales Matthew Smith, head of lettings Mark Howell, office manager Anna Dunkley, and lettings negotiator Pippa Nichols.

Field force Leroy Woodman is the newly appointed lettings manager for Field & Sons in Kennington. Leroy will work with Laura Mayers, who joins the company as a lettings negotiator.

Leroy has worked closely with land and new homes companies and has served as a sales and lettings manager the Sussex, Surrey, Kent and London areas for the past eight years. Laura has a proven track record of success in the Brighton and Kennington property markets.

First-time buyers have the advantage of being chain-free, but can often be dependent on large mortgages. See an independent mortgage broker so you know exactly how much you can borrow and you are aware of any stamp duty you will have to pay. Then you can be ready to proceed quickly should the right property become available.

Nothing beats face-to-face contact. Make friends with your agent and register with them in the office rather than online: this way you will stand out in their mind, and you can keep in contact by calling them on the phone rather than email. Look around the area you are focusing on and try out the commute to see if it will work for you.

Alex Oppenheim, associate director of John D Wood & Co Battersea A wise man once told me to make the most of being a first-time buyer.

He said that unless I won the Premium Bonds (I’m perhaps dating myself somewhat), it would be the only time I would be able to buy a property without relying upon the subsequent sale of another. So far he has been right!

The watchword for any first-time buyer is organisation, so surround yourself with the very best available solicitors, financial advisors and surveyors. They will guide you through the process and advise you of any stumbling blocks. Similarly, a good agent will be at hand to ensure that the sale is successfully concluded.

REFURBISHMENT

Here comes the sun on Battersea Park corner Close to the Sun Gate entrance in the south-west corner of Battersea Park, a large Victorian family house has been rebuilt and interior designed, and can now offer more than 3300 sq ft of living space.

A full basement excavation has created a media room, a home spa with steam room and fairy lights in mosaic tiles, and a separate utility and storage room.

The ground floor contains a double reception that has been fully opened up to lead the way to the kitchen and dining room.

This kitchen diner features wall-mounted and base units with granite worktops and storage cupboards, an integrated double fridge freezer, and two integrated electric Miele ovens. It also has an integrated microwave and Miele Nespresso maker, integrated Miele induction hob, and a Miele gas hob with stainless steel splash-back. French windows open out onto a contemporary patio garden with artificial grass.

On the first floor is the master bedroom with dressing area and en suite bathroom, and a study or fifth bedroom featuring a wall of shelves. The second floor has two bedrooms and a family bathroom and the fourth bedroom with en suite bathroom is on the top floor.

The 3330 sq ft property is wired for sound and has Sky provision throughout, a digital phone system, a ventilation system and underfloor heating.

Cambridge Road runs south-west from Prince of Wales Drive, next to Battersea Park. Excellent bus services connect to the City and north of the River, and Battersea Park Road offers plenty of shops and restaurants.

VICTORIAN SEMI

Ideal home for Hazel The parents of the current owner of a Victorian semi in Wandsworth bought the house for her without seeing it in the late 1960s. Since it was called Hazeldean, they knew it was the perfect home for their daughter, Hazel.

And so it proved to be. When Hazel’s parents bought the house, they were such good friends with their neighbour that they planted a pear tree at the bottom of their adjoining gardens, declaring that “no fence would ever divide their friendship”. The neighbours’ son still lives on the road and the pear tree is still standing.

“When our client married, her husband pretty much rebuilt the entire house for her, leaving her to design the garden from scratch,” said Ben Rymer of estate agent Trindle Rymer Irens. “Understandably our client is extremely passionate about the house and the garden.”

Built in the late 1800s, the five-bedroom, threestorey property in Hendham Road has had only three owners since then: the original builder, a woman recorded as ‘Ms Shirley’, and Hazel’s mum and dad.

A double reception has wooden flooring, a bay window with bespoke shutters, and two ornate fireplaces. French windows lead to the south-facing rear garden with the friendship pear tree. There are artistically finished and plastered fresco walls throughout the ground and first floors, and the property includes off-street parking for two cars.

Bellevue Road – which includes Michelin-starred restaurant Chez Bruce – and Wandsworth Common are both walking distance. Among the local schools are Finton House independent primary and the Marmalade Bear and Red Balloon nurseries.

Hendham Road, Wandsworth SW17, £1,775,000, Trindle Rymer Irens 020 8767 2222

“Beautifully presented with immense style and taste, this handsome three-storey Victorian family house has a stunning south-facing garden” Ben Rymer, Trindle Rymer Irens

North Londoner Nick Bishop has always loved the river. After meeting his girlfriend (now wife) 15 years ago and joining her in a rented flat in Regent on the River in Fulham, he bought two apartments in the same complex.

“We rented out the smaller two-bed place and lived in the four-bedroom penthouse. Then we moved to a fourbedroom townhouse next to the rowing clubs in Putney,” he explains.

Bishop also purchased three more apartments, which Savills Waterfront rents and manages. “From an investment point of view, there will always be only a certain amount of riverside property. Foreigners – French, Italians and Russians – are magnetised by the river, just like me.”

Bishop’s tips to successful riverside living include checking out older developments that could provide better value than new schemes, taking a Savills river cruise to examine different neighbourhoods along the Thames, and being aware that some roads flood at certain times of the year.

And although the Bishops fancy a new home with a large garden, if it means giving up their river view they would politely decline. As Bishop’s six-year-old son Charlie says: “Why do we need a big garden when we’ve got the river and our own beach?”

Savills waterfront experts describe the unique lifestyle that draws buyers, tenants and investors to the river

Clapham Common

A23

Everyone loves riverside living. The twisting Thames has always fascinated Londoners and visitors to the capital with its history, literary connections and eclectic architecture.

Grappling with where to buy on one of the world’s most famous rivers can be a problem for some, however, particularly international purchasers with little knowledge of the areas along this varied watery stretch.

A sound solution is to contact a specialist waterside team such as Savills Waterfront, working with 11 offices on the north and south banks of the Thames. “We cover over 40 miles of riverside property in 158 developments, as well as one-off resale homes,” explains associate director Sarah Gretton, who heads up this Savills property sector.

With a decade of waterfront experience, Gretton says she issues a map of London’s riverside to new applicants to open their minds to interesting places where they can rent or buy. “Maybe someone wants a portfolio of investment property in Canary Wharf, for instance, but we ask if he’d consider looking at other places too.”

Attractions of residing cheek-by-jowl to the river are many, adds Gretton, from easy-care lock-up-and-leave apartments, underground parking, and 24/7 concierges providing a ‘Hong Kong-style’ serviced lifestyle.

Certain nationalities regard a ‘Swallows and Amazon’ existence a must – “the Chinese like the positive feng Brockwell Park

shui associated with water,” says Gretton – and vast expanses of space and light blow everyone’s minds away.

Along with being on top of the latest homes coming on-stream – such as 17,000 units over four phases at Nine Elms, where the new American Embassy will be sited – Savills Waterfront also offers management and rentals assistance, after-sales renovation through Savills Interior Services, and insider knowledge from its offices along the river route.

Christopher Bramwell of Savills Chiswick sells Regency and Georgian properties, a contrast to mainly modern homes on other parts of the Thames. “You get chunky-sized property with wonderful river views.

Reflections of light on water playing on ceilings and passing rowing boats all add to a tranquil atmosphere.”

At the other end of the watercourse, City workers and retirees snap up smart pied-a-terres, says Lauren Ireland from Savills Wapping and Canary Wharf. “The closer you get to St Katharine Docks and Wapping, the more you pay. A two-bedroom flat in Narrow Street is around £650,000, while one at St Katharine Docks could cost more than £1 million.”

FINDERS KEEPER’S Keeper’s Wood, a five to six-bedroom detached house set in 0.7 acres on the Wentworth Estate in Virginia Water, Surrey, is the latest release from Octagon.

One of the UK’s most revered private estates, Wentworth is home to the legendary championship golf course and country club, and has easy access to the M25, M4 and M3 motorways, and Heathrow and Gatwick airports. Rail services into London Waterloo take 45 minutes.

The 5000 sq ft double-fronted house has its own pair of videocontrolled security gates, and comes with a large wing incorporating a three-car integral garage and first floor master bedroom suite.

New homes update Report by David Smith, head of marketing for developer Octagon September is the month when the roads start filling up again with the school run brigade. Indeed, as this is the start of the new school year, it will include many families who have just moved house simply to ensure that their children can have easy access to the school of their choice.

My friend James Wyatt at Barton Wyatt in Virginia Water calls these people ‘the postcode hunters’, who move to be within the catchment area of a good state school, and often pay a premium for the pleasure.

This might be bad news for purchasers, but extremely good news for vendors and housebuilders, as there is always a pentup demand, and the properties for sale more often than not easily achieve their asking price.

Also, families who are in the fortunate position to consider independent day school education for their children, are equally keen to be located close by, so that lengthy car runs or complicated journeys on public transport are eliminated. At Octagon, when we launch a new property, the second question (after

the price!) is more often than not for a list of recommended schools, which we are very happy to supply.

Our latest development of family homes going onto the market this month, St George’s Place in Esher, is no exception.

According to Richard Winter, the Surrey regional director at Savills, both state and independent schools in the Esher area are highly favoured. Our new houses are in a fantastic spot on one of the best residential roads, Esher Park Avenue, which is also just minutes from the pretty, café-lined High Street, so we expect to be busy, despite the distraction of the 2012 Paralympic Games, which will be fully under way.

On that note, I cannot resist adding that the regatta I am rather involved in, the Little Britain Challenge Cup, which is loyally supported by the construction and housebuilding industries, has steadfastly raised funds for the GB Paralympic Sailing Team.

This year our regatta coincides with the Paralympics, so in between our own races we will be cheering on the highly talented GB team. Here’s hoping some of them will be rewarded with a medal after four years of the most intensive training.

Clearing hurdles Tackling a house in total disrepair and the builder going bust didn’t stop Howard McLean from completing his project, finds Cheryl Markosky Undaunted by the prospect of totally refurbishing a probate sale house he bought back in 2005, Howard McLean had several hurdles to clear before he reached his goal of transforming the property on Englewood Road in Clapham South.

“The house was very old and nothing had been done for donkey’s years,” he says. “I had to knock down walls, re-wire, re-plumb, put in new flooring and windows, and sort out the drainage.”

Living in the area certainly helped, admits McLean, who’s bought property to rent and sell over the last few years, as he understands the area and what the local authority will allow you to do. As the owner of a hardware shop and an aficionado of museums and architecture, he’s practical as well as interested in preserving the old and linking it aesthetically to the new.

Other obstacles McLean had to overcome included getting rid of the outside toilet and installing a smart new facility on the ground floor, admitting more light into very dark spaces, and holding onto and restoring as many original features as possible. “There are

original fireplaces in the bedrooms, alcoves, coving, cornicing and ceiling roses.”

The hardest task, according to McLean was knocking out the walls on the ground floor to create an open plan kitchen, dining and family area. “There is more steel holding the place up there than anything else,” he says wryly. Other challenges included dealing with problems with the drainage – “It was mindboggling and I had to contact the water company to help sort it” – and the not insignificant issue of the builder taking his money and then running off before he finished the work. Luckily McLean found another builder “who completed the job perfectly”.

Managing to get as much space as possible by extending the side return with the neighbour (a clever move, as there’s less upset doing it at the same time and you save money to boot) and extending the loft, McLean added on two bedrooms to produce a roomy five-bedroom terraced family home. He’s also sensibly installed the wiring for Lutron lighting, giving the new owner the choice of connecting it if he wants it.

McLean says he’s proudest of the open kitchen,

“I had to knock down walls, re-wire, re-plumb, put in new flooring and windows, and sort out the drainage.”

dining and family area on the ground floor. “It is open, light and you can chat to people while cooking. It’s a great entertaining space.”

After spending £140,000 to do up his dream home, McLean is selling so he can replicate his efforts and do up a property in Crystal Palace. Selling agent Tom Reeves, from Marsh & Parsons, loves “the interesting mezzanine in the top bedroom that would make a good child’s room or office”, and adds that the house couldn’t be on a quieter residential road any closer to the Common.

MONEY

MORTGAGE PRICE WAR HOTS UP The good news for borrowers is that the mortgage price war is well under way. Money market rates have fallen to their lowest levels ever and this is filtering through into pricing, with cheaper fixed rates being launched including five-year fixed rates pegged at less than 3 per cent.

For those who don’t need the certainty of a fixed rate, there are some competitive base-rate trackers to choose from. The cheapest rates are for those with sizeable deposits, so we wait to see whether the Government’s Funding for Lending scheme has an impact on higher loan-to-value deals with more choice available at competitive rates.

Rates fall as London returns to normal, reports Duncan Farmer

CRUCIAL CREDIT VOTE DELAYS REGULATION A crucial vote that may determine the final shape of the proposed European directive on credit agreements relating to residential property (CARRP) has been delayed for three months. An updated timetable on European Parliament’s website says that the indicative date for a plenary sitting – at which a vote could take place – is now scheduled for 10 December. It was originally due to take place on 10 September.

The revised timetable means that the vote on the proposed European directive may now take place after the Financial Services Authority (FSA) has published the policy statement and final rules for mortgage regulation in the UK, as it moves towards completion of the mortgage market review. The FSA’s policy statement is expected in the autumn.

The delay means that it is still not clear that the timing of proposals for mortgage regulation in the UK and Europe will be closely aligned.

Mortgage lending fell again this summer as a result of economic worries, the bad weather and even the Diamond Jubilee.

The housing market was equally quiet, and when next month’s figures appear they are likely to show yet another fall, and the Olympics will probably take the blame for that.

However, it is by no means all doom and gloom in the mortgage market, and when the dust settles on the hugely successful Games and London returns to normal, borrowers will see some welcome news on rates.

Libor, the rate at which banks borrow from each other - and which has attracted unwelcome negative headlines for rate fixing, has been falling, and that is excellent news for house hunters.

“Swap rates and three-month Libor have both fallen by around a quarter of a percentage point since the Mansion House Banquet speeches from the governor of the Bank of England and the Chancellor,” says Ray Boulger of mortgage broker John Charcol. “The three-month Libor rate, which is currently 0.74 per cent, is still falling. This combination, plus the Funding for Lending Scheme, has produced record low five-year fixed rates, with three lenders

offering a sub-three per cent rate for borrowers with deposits of 40 per cent or more. Apart from Nationwide’s 3.39 per cent rate up to 30 per cent deposits, other lenders, especially at the higher loan-tovalue level, need to play catch up.”

Boulger’s sentiments are echoed by Mark Harris of SPF Private Clients, who believes borrowers will see far cheaper rates in autumn.

“The mortgage price war is already well under way,” he says. “Money market rates have fallen to their lowest levels ever in recent weeks and this is filtering through into pricing, with cheaper fixed rates being launched. For those who don’t need the certainty of a fixed rate, there are some competitive base-rate trackers to choose from.”

Whatever happens, the feelgood – or bad – factor is crucial to economic sentiment. In the first week of Olympic competition, retailers, restaurateurs and theatres were reporting a dramatic fall in takings. By the second week, however, that appeared to have changed and according to a report by business group Heart of London, the number of shoppers in the West End was up 16.2 per cent on a year ago. If that trend continues, the housing market could well be looking at a very golden autumn.

LOOKING FOR

FINANCE?

Sale and rent back Publication by the Financial Services Authority (FSA) of the findings of its review of the sale-and-rent-back market have reinforced the view of the Council of Mortgage Lenders that there are potentially significant risks for consumers considering this type of product.

The findings reinforce our belief that these and similar products should be properly regulated. Sale-and-rent-back emerged a few years ago as an option for borrowers who were finding it difficult to maintain their mortgage payments. Under the schemes on offer, providers agreed to buy the home from the borrower, with an agreement that the customer could continue to live in the property as a tenant.

The clampdown on sale-and-rent-back has led to the emergence of similar products or agreements, which also appear to enable borrowers to stay in their former properties and pay rent to prospective buyers. The terms of some agreements also appear to put borrowers in breach of their existing mortgage contracts.

TWIST AT TESCO

Remortgage rises

The Tesco Bank mortgage range is now available to customers. Its range includes flexible, fixed-rate and tracker products with a twist – mortgage holders will be able to collect Clubcard points as they repay the loan.

Launching the new mortgage range, the chief executive of Tesco Bank, Benny Higgins, said: “Entering the mortgage market is a significant step in broadening the products we offer to Tesco customers. With a focus on serving Tesco customers for the long term, we will take responsible lending decisions and have developed a mortgage business to meet our customers’ needs, now and into the future.”

John Charcol, the mortgage adviser, has revealed signs of new life in the remortgage market, with the proportion of its clients remortgaging having increased from 32.1 per cent in May to 39.2 per cent by July.

The remortgage market is now looking increasingly appealing to borrowers and John Charcol expects the remortgage trend within the residential market to increase in August and remain high over the next few months as the fixed rate price war takes shape. As well as an increase in remortgages, John Charcol expects the proportion of borrowers taking fixed rates to increase in the coming months.

The general feeling is that the bank rate will not rise for some years to come – in fact it may even go down later this year – making trackers are the natural choice in this market. “Many borrowers who are coming to the end of their current deal can remortgage onto a five-year fixed rate that’s cheaper than their current lender’s standard variable rate,” says Simon Collins, John Charcol’s technical manager.

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

Mundania Road, SE22

£1,300,000

Elegant, enormous aesthetic masterpiece of a house having around 3,100sqft. With 6 bedrooms, double reception, dining room, study, master suite, 3 bathrooms, large rear garden, cellar and gated, off-street parking. Chain free.

These mammoth Victorian homes are renowned in the area. Marmora, Therapia and Mundania all share examples of some of the largest local family homes built in the 19th century.

Kerb appeal is plentiful - it’s double-fronted, has sash windows, is semi-detached and has a gabled roof. Inside you’ll find a luxury modern kitchen with giant freestanding stove, beautifully kitted out bathrooms, wardrobes in all first floor bedrooms, original features including marble fireplaces, cornicing, a rear dormer window, fretwork to the front gable and a reinstated Victorian roll-top bath. There’s also heaps of storage in the eaves, in the cellar and in 2 outside sheds. You can park several cars on the drive, while parking on the street is unrestricted (it looks like a fine party house to us). The garden liberally spreads some 65ft, is surrounded by mature shrubs and trees and has a lower eat-out terrace.

Mundania Road is pretty exclusive, it forms part of a des-res pocket that edges Peckham Rye in East Dulwich. Commuters can use Honor Oak Park for trains (London Bridge, Victoria) or the East London Line (Canada Water, Shoreditch, Hoxton, Dalston and Highbury & Islington). It’s worth knowing that the same tube-like services open a Peckham Rye station this autumn.

Schools are exemplary from here, state primary schools include Fairlawn, Goodrich and Horniman while secondary age kids can attend top local independents such as St Dunstan’s, Dulwich College, JAGS, Alleyn’s or Sydenham High. Local highlights include first-rate shopping on Lordship Lane, good local restaurants and pubs and lots of open green parkland.

lettings lowdown Leroy Woodman, Field & Sons lettings manager, reports The market has been working at a slightly slower pace due to tenants preferring to stay in their current homes to outride the potential increases in rental prices due to the Olympics. Now it seems to be game on with landlords and tenants.

There seems to be an influx of potential tenants looking for their new London home, but they are finding it rather difficult to secure a property after noticing that there are many others in the same situation. They are having to act fast to secure their new home before they lose it to someone else, knowing that the market supply for property is not meeting the demands.

For any landlord who is considering putting their property on the market, now is the perfect time to start the letting process as there are far more applicants looking for properties than there are properties available to the market.

Many landlords are being very flexible and

accommodating towards any potential new tenants to make sure the best tenants and terms are secured.

Landlords feel there is much more security with tenants, who seem to be staying at the same property for longer than the term originally agreed at the start of the tenancy.

This year has seen a mixture of peaks in the market through to downfalls, but historically the latter part of the year always seems to redeem itself and this is the busiest time of the year in the South-East region.

Tenants are very savvy at noticing what they can get for their money in the local market, and landlords are aware of current pricing. There has been a slow but steady increase in rental prices, but many landlords are still pricing their properties competitively to gain the upper hand.

Landlords also need to make the most of what they are offering potential tenants and show off their property to its best advantage.

the last word Sandra Carline, head of Savills Barnes, gives her answers to South Tell us how you joined the property industry and briefly describe your career to date.

How difficult is the market for sellers and what advice would you give them?

I used to work as a legal property assistant for a firm of solicitors in Lincoln’s Inn, so I dealt with estate agents on a daily basis.

I was persuaded to joint a reputable local agent in Barnes in 1986. I loved the idea of meeting clients in their own homes and working in such a varied role.

For properties which fall within the stamp duty thresholds, clients should be aware that there will be a period of static pricing, so they need to be flexible.

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

I have loved working in Barnes over the last 25 years because it is such a unique area with many attractive green spaces and a wonderful village community. Savills actively support and sponsor many seasonal events including the Barnes Food Fair, which attracts 3000 visitors.

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

We always aim to meet our clients’ expectations and provide a first-class service, whether at the initial enquiry stage or during the pitching and selling process. The real challenge is to keep a cool head in what can be a stressful process.

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

This is a people industry and the ability to find common ground is important. Gaining trust and confidence from your clients can only be achieved through professional integrity and willingness to go that extra mile.

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

Barnes is a family orientated market and once buyers move here they often stay for 15 years or sometimes longer if they sell their larger homes to buy smaller ones.

What are your predictions for the property market in South London?

We believe that the stamp duty increases are likely to be a catalyst for a period of relatively static prices, in line with Savills research published forecasts. Longer term growth prospects for South London are still strong as growth is forecast to resume later in 2013, driven by strong global City fundamentals and an improving domestic economy.

of conduct to adhere to, ensuring they provided the best possible service.

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

Barnes because of its unique village community, beautiful historic buildings, highly regarded schools including St Paul’s and The Harrodian, abundant open spaces such as the Wetlands and the Thames, and the Boat Race.

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

I would have considered teaching, which requires great patience and the ability to work through often challenging circumstances, but the rewards must be worthwhile.

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

I would introduce compulsory licensing for estate agents, so standards were regulated across the board and every agent would have a code
