WATCHES

Shining a Spotlight Breitling’s latest development in their #squadonamission campaign brings a new collection that takes inspiration from the Breitling woman herself. “A woman of purpose, action, and style who is at the top of her game,” says Breitling CEO Georges Kern. Some people have mastered the art of not only shining in the spotlight, but also shining their light on others and inspiring change in the world. Three of them are in the Manufacture’s Spotlight Squad - Charlize Theron, Misty Copeland, and Yao Chen. These extraordinary entertainers are at the top of their game, and have shattered the stereotypes clinging to their gender and respective fields. In addition to excelling on screen and stage, these three are not afraid to take control of their own storylines while trying to improve the lives of others. Indeed, they form a tenacious squad of women who stand up for their beliefs and the issues closest to their hearts. Breitling CEO Georges Kern adds: “Who better than Charlize Theron, Misty Copeland, and Yao Chen to turn the spotlight on major global causes as they redefine what it means to be a strong woman? Three leading stars known for being fierce and pushing boundaries. What binds them together is the Spotlight Squad and Breitling’s dedication to change, diversity, and reshaping the world we live in.” As versatile and attractive as the Spotlight Squad, the new

collection - the Chronomat 36 and 32 series - takes women wherever they want to go. The brand’s first-ever Chronomat designed for women is suitable for any mission. While its roots are in the 1980s, this forward-looking timepiece is dedicated to innovative women of today who are reshaping attitudes and challenging stereotypes. Sporty yet elegant, this modern-retro-inspired watch easily takes its wearer from business meeting to the beach and everywhere in between. It symbolizes competence and effortless style. The stunning watches in the Chronomat for Women range feature Breitling’s iconic Rouleaux bracelet with a butterfly clasp, which is as robust as it is elegant. Like all Breitling watches, the chronometers are COSC-certified. Swimmers, surfers, divers, and even bathtub mermaids will appreciate their 100-meter water resistance. In terms of finish, these timepieces are nearly as diverse as the women on the Spotlight Squad. Along with the choice of sizes, they are also available in an array of metal cases - cool stainless steel, goes-with-everything bicolor, or luxe 18k red gold. Women craving extra sparkle can opt for diamond-set bezels and indexes. The Chronomat Automatic 36, powered by the Breitling Caliber 10 offers ten versions with special lacquered dials in white, pale green, midnight blue, or copper. The Chronomat 32 runs on the Breitling Caliber 77 and has a battery life of three to four years and comes in seven versions, with white or midnight blue dials. breitling.com

JEWELLERY

R A I N D A N C E Marking exactly 20 years since the creation of the renowned Raindance ring, and 10 since the V&A Museum’s jewellery curator chose this classic ring, complete with nine brilliant cut diamonds, as an icon of British jewellery design to showcase in their permanent exhibition. The Raindance ring possesses the rather desirable qualities of being both fine jewellery and an exhibition masterpiece.

Head of Design, Rebecca Hawkins, noticed the way light played on the raindrops as they slid down on marble, and was inspired to try to capture their magic. Its scattered design, dynamic yet delicate, reflects light from every angle, with scattered diamonds reminiscent of raindrops glistening in the sun. To celebrate the anniversary, Boodles have unveiled the ‘Raindance’ ring set in platinum, with rare fancy pink and white diamonds. The total weight

The original ring - set in platinum - was inspired by a trip to the Chelsea Flower Show one unusually wet summer’s day. Boodles

of the white diamonds is 2.32 carats and of the pink diamonds is a quarter of a carat matching the signature Boodles Pink.

LADY BEAT The newest watch from Armin Strom demonstrates one of the brand’s core principles - always innovate. Boldly redesigning the brand’s typical movement, dial and case, Lady Beat marks a milestone of the new System 78 Collection, which highlights innovative watchmaking at a competitive price. The latest no-compromise watch from the Biel-based manufacture is a decidedly feminine one, but one exuding the technical look and feel of the genuine manufacture movement powering every Armin Strom timepiece. Lady Beat’s design features differentiated aesthetics that make it wholly unique and feminine. And this is thanks to the fact that the men behind Armin Strom know their boundaries: instead of using the brand’s testosterone-influenced in-house design, the company (wisely) consulted freelance designers of the opposite sex to ensure authenticity and a decidedly feminine feel. Lady Beat features an off-center dial and slimmer new case with a much smaller diameter. The 38 mm case diameter of Lady Beat is a first at Armin Strom, hitting the sizing sweet spot of many women. The highlight of the front of this watch is the visible triplet of bridges echoing the pocket watch inspiration behind Caliber ALA20, just one of many mechanical elements visible on the dial. The contemporary dimensions maintain the essence of Armin Strom DNA while shaping a new aesthetic that showcases the brand’s love for reduction to the essential, enhancing legibility, and maximizing the user experience for discerning female collectors, enthusiasts, and casual wearers. The Armin Strom Lady Beat is the very first model created specifically for women by this Swiss manufacture. It features a stainless-steel case and is priced at CHF 16,900. arminstrom.com

Jeté de diamonds et saphirs Created in 1978 by Henri d’Origny, the Arceau watch mingles under statement with distinctiveness.

Diamonds and sapphires adorn the stunning new iteration of the Arceau watch from Hermes. Its round case with asymmetrical stirrup-shaped lugs and sloping Arabic numerals evoking a galloping horse endow it with timeless elegance. Arceau Petite Lune is lit up by 87 sapphires and 68 diamonds set in Jeté from the 38 mm steel case to the natural white mother-of-pearl dial. As if blown in by

a gentle breeze, the azure blue stones surround a mischievous Moon sparkling against a deep blue sky dotted with stars. The mischievous night star, designed by FrancoGerman artist Édouard Baribeaud for the Hermès silk scarf titled Acte III, Scène I, la Clairière is freely inspired by Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Swept over by slender hands, the lunar glow of the mother-of-pearl is enlivened by random setting and stretches to the pointer-type date and sloping numerals at 6 o’clock. The whole fascinating performance is choreographed by the Manufacture Hermès H1837 self-winding movement complete with a Petite Lune module and driving the hours, minutes, date as well as the moonphase appearing between 10 and 11 o’clock. A sapphire blue alligator strap, crafted in accordance with the saddlery-leathermaking skills of the Maison, adorns this watch entirely designed in the Hermès watchmaking workshops.

Superocean Heritage ’57 Outerknown Breitling introduces the third watch in collaboration with Outerknown, the sustainable apparel brand co-founded by surfing legend Kelly Slater.

With its bronze-coloured dial and Outerknown ECONYL® yarn NATO strap, this modern-retro sea watch expresses the cool, laid-back lifestyle associated with the surfing scene in Southern California and Hawaii in the 1950s and 1960s. It is available with a classic stainless-steel case or as a limited-edition model with an 18k red gold bezel for anyone who wants to make an even bigger splash. The Superocean Heritage ’57 Outerknown and Limited Edition watches celebrate Breitling’s partnership with Outerknown, following the Superocean Heritage Outerknown in 2018 and the Superocean Outerknown in 2019, this is the third collaboration between the two brands, and there is now a model from each of Breitling’s sea-related collections. Both brands share a commitment to clean oceans and beaches. Their goal of helping to maintain and protect a healthy, safe environment is reflected in the creation of the Outerknown NATO straps. These straps are made from ECONYL® yarn, a material sourced from repurposed nylon waste. At the same time, the watches’ modern-retro design recalls the eradefining fun-in-the-sun culture associated with Southern California and Hawaii in the 1950s and 1960s. These landmark decades are remembered fondly for great music, hot cars, and an

almost spiritual connection to the freedom found on endless sandy beaches and in the search for the perfect wave. The Breitling Superocean Heritage ’57 Outerknown is available in two versions: one in stainless steel and the other - an edition limited to 500 watches - with an 18k red gold bezel. With their arrow-shaped hands, oversized indices, and concave bezel, the watches clearly draw inspiration from the original 1957 SuperOcean. Both versions are powered by the Breitling Caliber 10, which offers a power reserve of approximately 42 hours. Like all Breitling watches, they are COSC-certified chronometers. Both feature a bronzecoloured dial that gives it a unique modernretro touch and are complemented by a brown Outerknown ECONYL® yarn NATO strap. The stainless steel’s concave bidirectional rotating bezel has an ultrahard scratch and shock-resistant black ceramic bezel ring with a luminescent central dot at the 12 o’clock position, an ideal feature for a dive watch. While the Superocean Heritage ’57 Outerknown Limited Edition features its concave bidirectional rotating bezel in 18k red gold, which is beautifully offset by its black ceramic bezel ring. This model is available in a limited edition of 500 watches.

Highlife Automatic Rarely are watches certified by the COSC (Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute), only issued to pieces that can guarantee perfect isochronism over a given time and at given positions - in effect, their ability to tell the time correctly, consistently and precisely, within the strict limits enforced by an ISO standard. The COSC is an independent Swiss organisation that only issues its chronometer certificates to these pieces after the watches have undergone numerous tests over several days. COSC certified pieces form an elite class of their own, intended

a leather strap against a modern and bold monochrome dial, on which you can make out the globe decoration signature for the new Highlife collection. The Highlife Automatic COSC is powered by the FC-310 caliber, which vibrates at 28,800 vph. Housed within 41mm diameter casing, it can be admired through the sapphire crystal caseback.

for collectors for whom â&#x20AC;&#x153;Swiss precisionâ&#x20AC;? is an everyday necessity. The Highlife Automatic COSC was developed especially for them. This first COSC-certified watch from Frederique Constant was inspired by the original collection from 1999. Its movements already contained the highest quality components, meeting all the precision criteria for official Swiss chronometer certification. Now it is a fact. The new Highlife Automatic COSC range brings together the best of the two other models with the three sleek hands of the Heart Beat and the date from the Perpetual Calendar Manufacture. This timepiece has been designed for everyday use and comes in two-tone, steel/blue dial and black leather/white dial versions. A fourth original creation complements this trio - a variation with a rose gold-plated case and a black dial mounted on a brown leather strap, complete with a rubber strap in the same shade.

ACQUA DI PARMA

The Perfect Holiday at Home with Harrods Acqua di Parma and Harrods offer up an exclusive creation for the holiday season limited to just 200 pieces

Acqua di Parma’s stunning Luce di Colonia candle is the latest recipient of a unique and elegant Special Edition creation. Dedicated in a limited run of only 200 units, the special edition candle brings together art, design and the impeccable Acqua di Parma Italian craftsmanship exclusively to Harrod’s in an original way. The headline scented candle within the Home Collection is dressed with refined decorations, inspired by the interior design of the most elegant and resplendent Italian houses. Pleasingly soft and irregular geometric shapes run along the glass of the Art Déco vessel that encloses the candle and evokes the iconic Colonia bottle. The decoration plays out in shades of green and yellow, which recall the visual codes of Harrod’s and Acqua di Parma, creating a balanced harmony. The motifs that alternate in a suggestive game of light and shade are meticulously handpainted by skilled decorators of Tuscan glass. The artisanal production shows up small differences that make each individual piece even more unique. An imperfect perfection that makes every Acqua di Parma creation into the most vital and authentic expression of Italian craftmanship. A hand-applied label bearing the Acqua di Parma coat of arms

and the Harrod’s logo stands out on the container vessel for the candle made of purest scented wax. The same label is on the iconic cylindrical, bright Parma yellow box that houses the candle. And when Luce di Colonia lights up, the colours of the glass are resplendent in their elegant essentiality. In a generous 500g size, this Special Edition is also notable for the flame created by three wicks positioned with pinpoint precision for uniform burning. A unique creation for experiencing the luminous charm of the art of Italian living at home. A fragrance that radiates joie de vivre, with the light and sunny notes that celebrate Colonia, the quintessence of Italian style. The pure natural ‘Frutti d’Oro’ combine with delicate floral tones and warm scents of precious wood. Delivering a distinctive Italian scent for the holiday season, this is the perfect way to create an inviting, warm atmosphere at home or put a smile on the face of any lucky recipient fortunate enough to receive it as a gift. The delicate nature of the hand-decorated surface requires special care. To preserve the beauty of the craft work and keep its appeal, it’s recommended that you clean the glass using just a damp cloth. Do not use solvents and detergents.

S H E DDIN G T HE SHE E P

An icon in the Audi stable since 2002, the RS6 brought power and performance in an unsuspecting package that has largely continued to some extent...until now. No longer a wolf in sheeps clothing, the latest iteration brings the visual emphasis of performance firmly to the fore.

AUDI RS 6

The iconic German sleeper wagon is no more. Gone is the wolf in sheepâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clothing, replaced by the very apparent styling of the latest iteration RS 6 Avant. Audi have never shied away from publicising the impressive performance of their family powerhouse, however, there has never been a more obvious demonstration in its design aesthetic. Exaggerated arches on all four corners, vast air intakes incorporated into the front spoiler and a rear diffuser built to highlight those enormous dual sport exhausts - with optional RS sport exhaust with black tailpipe trim - combine to create a visual profile closer related to supercar than family vehicle, yet it remains the bridge between two worlds. Underneath the angular exterior, complete with all the latest Audi lighting technology, you will discover an engineering marvel. Accommodated under the long bonnet sits a potent 4.0-litre V8 unit packing a whopping 600 PS and boasting a mammoth pulling 800 Nm of torque making for a pushed-back-in-your-seat inducing zero to sixtytwo time of just 3.6 seconds and governed top speed of 155 mph - this can be increased to 174 mph with the optional dynamic package and even further to 189.5 mph with the dynamic plus package. All of that power is put to the tarmac efficiently thanks to the lightning sharp 8-speed tiptronic transmission and a substantial volume of rubber on the standard 21-inch or optional 22-inch wheels. In order to control all of that power, the German marque have implemented a host of features in the steering, suspension and brake setup. Fitted as standard with progressive steering with a sporty and direct ratio whose newly developed power assistance reports back a direct connection between the driver and the road, the high performance Avant also comes with the high-performance dynamic all-wheel steering option. It combines the dynamic steering at the front axle with the addition of rear-axle steering offering very direct low-speed steering and incredibly stable steering at high speeds. Pair this with the standard RS adaptive air suspension with controlled damping, tuned specifically for the RS and you can enjoy a top speed of 189.5 mph for the first time. The RS sport suspension plus with Dynamic Ride Control (DRC) option furthers control providing even greater dynamism. It works with steel springs and threeaudi.co.uk

YOUR DRIVE way adjustable dampers that counteract the movements of the vehicle body with no delay, and without the use of electronics. In the normal driving position in auto, comfort and efficiency modes, the body sits 20 millimeters lower than an Audi A6 Avant with standard suspension - adding to that aggressive look. At speeds of 75 mph and above, the air suspension lowers the RS 6 by another ten millimeters in those three modes. In ‘dynamic’ mode, the body remains at this low ride height permanently for both suspension types. On poor road surfaces, the RS adaptive air suspension also offers a lift that can raise the car 20 millimeters above its normal position at low speeds. In line with these performance improvements the newly developed RS ceramic brake system with satellite dish sized discs measuring 440 mm at the front and 370 mm at the rear are a welcome option to help slow you down - quickly - just remember they possess different working parameters. Weighing in 34 kg less than its steel counterpart, the system not only improves braking performance, but also reduces the unsprung masses.

Overseeing how these systems work together and putting the control in your hands is the well established Audi drive select. Allowing you to change the character of the RS 6 Avant using the Audi drive select dynamic handling system, the system offers six profiles including comfort, auto, dynamic, efficiency, and the individually configurable RS-specific RS1 and RS2 modes, which can be activated directly using the new “RS Mode” steering wheel button. This automatically opens the RS-specific displays in the Audi virtual cockpit and gives you direct control over influences to the engine and transmission management, the power steering, suspension, dynamic all-wheel steering, quattro sport differential, engine sound and the characteristics of the automatic air conditioning meaning you can create a profile specific to your requirements that will be implemented immediately at the push of the button. The RS2 mode on the other hand exists specifically to influence the Electronic Stabilization Control (ESC) directly, offering the easy toggling of the system through standard, sport mode or completely off.

AUDI RS 6 Inside, the designers have continued the dynamic aesthetic theme, creating a forward-looking and markedly driver-oriented cockpit. The user interface of the fully digital operating system MMI touch response continues to impress with its easy to read 10.1-inch and 8.6-inch displays which harmonizes with the sleek black panel design. The two displays - which are almost invisible when off - with haptic and acoustic feedback are positioned one above the other and can be operated via touch and swiping movements. Special RS displays in the Audi virtual cockpit provide additional trip and vehicle data. You can bring up an overview of drive system component temperatures, maximum g-forces and information regarding tire pressures and temperatures. The lower, display which is positioned on the center console is used for the climate control, comfort and convenience functions as well as text input by handwriting or virtual keyboard. There are numerous additional features to aid while you're

driving inlcuding a shift light display which prompts the driver to upshift when the rev limit is reached and the optional headup display which also displays some RS-specific information, including the shift light display. RS sport seats with a rhombus pattern and RS embossing in Alcantara/leather combination are fitted as standard or alternatively, perforated Valcona leather with honeycomb pattern and RS embossing is an available option. The RS design packages in red and gray add some colour and a greater level of sportiness to the interior. For example, the steering wheel rim, gear lever gaiter and knee pads are designed in Alcantara with contrasting stitching. Belt straps with colour edging and RS floor mats round out the package. Inlays in gray-brown wood natural or matt aluminum add further customization options. With all that sport and performance talk, it would be easy to forget this cars functionality. Taking the 'family' aspect even further

YOUR DRIVE than before pushing its everyday usability to new heights is an even roomier interior. The luggage compartment has a capacity of between 565 and 1,680 liters with an increased loading width of 1.05 meters, 14 mm larger than the previous model. By folding down the split-folding rear bench seat in the ratio 40:20:40, the length of the luggage compartment increases to roughly two meters. The luggage compartment lid and the luggage compartment cover are electrically operated as standard, while sensor control via foot gesture and an electrically unlocked, swiveling trailer towing hitch are both available upon request. Being a family car, you want to make sure that everyone is safe at all times and thankfully, Audi's impressive catalogue of driver assist and safety systems is available. Combining some of the 30 plus driver assist systems in the new RS 6 Avant in the 'city' and 'tour' packages you can enjoy an even more comfortable, efficient

and safe drive. Adaptive cruise assist, which adds a lane-tracking function to the adaptive cruise control increasing the level of comfort on long-distance journeys in particular supported by the central driver assistance controller that constitutes the central interface for all assist systems. It continuously computes a model of the surroundings with improved performance compared to the predecessor model, for example, when it detects the end of a traffic jam and initiates braking. This is a vehicle that truly has it all. Yes, it may have swapped its subtle cloak for a monster mask, but that doesn't change what's underneath. A high performance sports car with the capacity for the whole family and adaptability to be driven both at speed and in comfort - and efficiently thanks to the cylinder on demand system. There are few other places you will find a car with those credentials.

Manual 280 SL

Introduced in December 1967, the 280 SL continued in production until February 1971, when it was replaced by the entirely new and substantially heavier 350 SL. Manual transmission models came with the standard 4-speed or optional ZF 5-speed, which was ordered just 882 times and is a highly sought-after original option today. The main change for the 280 SL was an upgrade to the 2.8-litre M130 engine with 170 PS and 244 Nm of torque, which finally

gave it the power it needed. It also marked the final evolution of Mercedes-Benz' venerable SOHC inlinesix, before it was superseded by the entirely new DOHC variant introduced in 1974. This 1968 example is presented in left-hand drive guise with the rare manual transmission and power steering. Finished in the very desirable colour of its original Mercedes mid blue and magnolia leather interior, it also comes complete with both hard and soft tops with the factory option third seat. The car comes with its original service book and manuals and has just been fully repainted to a very high level with invoices to show £11k expenditure and been subjected to new leather seats, door cards, wood, carpets and more at a further cost of circa £10k. It drives as a well sorted 280 SL should.

SAVILLS

Is it time for a new way of home working? with Edward Lewis, Head of London Residential Development Sales, Savills I wonder whether the initial excitement of working from home is beginning to wane. As the days close in it might just be that homeowners and tenants are desperate for a change of scene and at least a short walk to work. It’s clear that no one really wants to go back to a daily commute into the city but working from home has plenty of drawbacks. Not least, who in your household is doing the same thing, how many bedrooms can you convert into a home office, does the understairs cupboard have any natural light, does the internet work, can you stop checking the fridge for a snack, does the dog need a walk, and how practical is it really to use the ironing board as a desk. For those living or working from home alone, it can be really lonely and claustrophobic. Do people now crave the face to face, even if two metres apart, chance of meeting colleagues, the buzz of the trading floor, bouncing ideas off each other, human contact, a trusted sandwich, even a quick glass of wine before trudging home? The solution lies within the 15-minute city concept: short school runs and journeys to work, thriving local shops and a strong community spirit. So is the answer to bring the office to the village? I am not just talking about those beautiful rural settings up and down the country but also the network of villages that make up the capital

as well as many regional towns and cities. It’s not a new concept. There have been serviced offices for years but they tend to be located in business districts not residential areas. Now is the time to step up. From a new homes perspective, developers have been providing small business centres with limited facilities within their residential schemes. And, of course, they are reacting to the pandemic and inevitable trend by providing flexible accommodation to include work space and indeed outside space. But surely there’s an opportunity to create serviced business hubs for residents, not just a club lounge and meeting room. What we need is multiple spaces with booths for private conversations as well as interactive areas. One or two developers have embraced this. Embassy Gardens in Nine Elms, Television Centre in White City, for example, while for those in the right industries and lucky enough to have membership accepted, there’s White City House, part of the Soho House concept. These bustling ‘work from home’ hubs will fuel creativity, create new business opportunities, generate new friendships and enhance community spirit. And all from the comfort of your home if not your apartment, although you won’t be able to do a Zoom call in your pyjamas.

Docklands House Prices 2021: What will happen to the value of your Docklands home next year?

Hello

I started my property career working for an independent estate agent in the Wapping area. Since 1994 I have been based in and around East London. I started my own company in 1995 and it has grown from humble beginnings to become a well respected sales, lettings and property management agency operating in the Docklands and East London areas. Then in 2007, I opened my first branch in the Medway area. I am proud that we now have three branches in Kent. My operation is set to expand in 2020 and beyond. I am a long term member of both the NAEA and ARLA and a former Regional Representative for the latter. As the owner of a growing residential and commercial property portfolio, I understand well the trials and tribulations that property owners go through. I have well over 20 years experience of regenerative Dock’s areas and specialise in new development reporting. I am happy to advise you on all aspects of property. So, if you are looking at your first buy-to-let (even if it is with another agency), or have trouble with a tenant, feel free to contact me. I offer honest and impartial advice.

Spencer Fortag

hat will a no deal Brexit on the horizon, the end of the stamp duty holiday in March, mortgage payment holidays coming to an end, unemployment set to rise after furlough and ongoing on/off coronavirus restrictions do to the Docklands property market and the value of your Docklands home? In the late spring of 2020, every man and his dog were forecasting impending doom on the British property market. Drops of 10% were considered optimistic as we all held our breath after lockdown was relaxed. Yet, the property market didn’t listen to the forecasters. UK property values today are 2.5% higher than they were a year ago, and more locally,

Docklands house prices are 4.2% higher than a year ago. So, what exactly is going to happen to the Docklands property market in 2021? Well, with the end of furlough and 1.7m people still on the furlough scheme at the start of October, a number of economists are saying that unfortunately many of those furloughed will become unemployed. Unemployment currently stands at 4.5% in Q3 2020 (compared to 3.8% in Q3 2019). The Government’s independent Office for Budget Responsibility believes the unemployment rate will peak at 9.7% in early 2021, and then return to pre-coronavirus levels in 2022. In the past recessions of the early 1980’s, early 1990’s and Credit Crunch of 2009, when unemployment went up, the property market went down.

Yet, in this recession, the link between unemployment and property values may not be so direct. So why is the link between unemployment and house prices potentially broken? It comes down to interest rates. The reason Docklands house prices have gone up by 671.22% since the middle of the 1990’s isn’t because the labour market has got so much sturdier, nor that the economy has outperformed every G8 country, or that the UK has had less boom and bust economic cycles than the previous decades. Instead, it’s because of the fundamental and underlying decline in the Bank of England (BoE) interest rates. High BoE interest rates equal high mortgage payments which holds everything back regarding the property market. In the 1980’s, the average BoE interest rate was just over 11%, making mortgage payments very expensive and keeping property prices dampened. In the 1990’s, the average BoE interest rate was a little over 6%, in the 2000’s just over 4%. However, in the 2010’s, it had been a really low 0.5%. Now with interest rates down to 0.1% because of coronavirus and the BoE threatening negative interest rates, there appears little threat of an eruption in mortgage repayment costs. With mortgage payments at an all-time low of just under 30% homeowners’ disposable income (compared to 48% in 2007), those middle-aged people lucky enough to still be in a job (who are mainly made up of workers whom are spending a lot more time working from home), Continued on page 2

Continued from page 1 they could be more inclined to dedicate more of their monthly income to mortgage payments than they did pre-coronavirus for a bigger garden or a move out of the big cities?

So, if unemployment isn’t going to make a huge difference to the Docklands property market, what is? Most commentators believe a no deal Brexit will have hardly any short-term effect on the property market (apart from certain upmarket parts of central London). The stamp duty holiday ends at the end of March 2021 and that certainly will reduce the number of Docklands people moving (as many moved their plans forward to beat the deadline) meaning there will be less Docklands people moving in 2021, yet that will curtail the supply of property for sale and hence keep Docklands property prices higher. Next, the Help to Buy scheme (started in 2013 and where the Government underwrites part of the mortgage for the first time buyer, meaning they can obtain a 95% mortgage) ends in April next year, yet the Tories indicated at their conference last month they would probably create ‘Help to Buy - Part 2’. The bottom line is in the early 1980’s and 1990’s recessions, when interest rates were over 15%, obviously homeowners couldn’t afford to keep up the mortgage payments when made redundant or on lower wages, so many handed in their keys to the banks and got their homes repossessed, thus exacerbating the issue with falling property values. However, with interest rates so low, this will not be the case. I envisage that UK property prices will be between 4% to 5% higher by December and Docklands values just behind that at 2% to 3% higher, before levelling out in 2021 (although we might see a modest dip in certain sectors and types of Docklands homes depending on location and condition). My advice to Docklands buy to let landlords is to wait on the subs bench until April 2021. Something tells me there will be some Docklands landlords who will be looking to exit the rental

market after having their fingers burnt after the eviction ban has been lifted. I also suspect those Docklands first time buyers, eager (and able) to break free the rental-rat-race will want to take up the anticipated ‘Help to Buy - Part 2’ scheme, particularly if the BoE base rate stays low. The other winners in 2021 will be low mortgage/equity rich households upsizing to the countryside or leafy suburbs to test out their boss’s promise of ‘flexibleworking’. Yet the losers will be the 18yo to 29yo renters … most likely to be made redundant and least likely to buy a home. My advice to the Government for this cohort is to not ignore them once the country is out of this coronavirus situation. It’s all very good keeping the Home Counties Tory voting Baby Boomers happy with green belt policies and other policies to keep their property values higher, yet as the Generation X and Millennials get older and take over as the largest demographic to keep happy (for the polls), the hitherto inconceivable action of the Government levying Capital Gains Tax on your main home may come to fruition. I mean, we have £400bn to pay back because of coronavirus … it has to be repaid and it has to come from somewhere. Those denied real access to buying their own home in the last 10 years, because of massive house price gains over the last 25 years, could vent their anger via the ballot box — if not at the 2024 General Election, maybe in 2029, when they realise that the futile housing policies of both Labour and Tories of the last 23 years have left them with enduring financial diffidence. Maybe we should all look to the grocer’s daughter from Lincolnshire who in 1979 set out a bold vision of home ownership for everybody. Whichever political party truly picks up the batten and reframes it for the current 2020’s generation and comes up with the goods, will be the ultimate winner in this game.
