ASKTHEEXPERTIs it really worth considering putting your property on the

market in summer when everyone is heading out of town?

Gary Howorth, sales manager at Foxtons Putney, replies ...

As I write with the sun shining brightly across the green spaces of

South London, inviting the warm evening weather in, it would seem that surely people have better things to do than hunt for property? While it may be surprising, summer can be a very busy

time of year for the property market, offering some good conditions to sell in.

With a limited availability of properties to buy in South London in comparison to the demand out there (we currently have 76 buyers registered for every available property in our Putney office), buyers are making themselves available to view properties as and when they come to the market irrespective of the time of year.

It is also a common misconception that everyone heads out of the summer in one mass exodus. It is, in fact, very rare that any more than 20 per cent of London’s workforce is away at any one time. And let’s not forget that the majority of us simply can’t get away for more than two weeks – not two months.

Furthermore, sellers’ chances of success could be further enhanced by the conditions they are selling in. Everyone would probably agree that everything looks better lit by the summer sunshine. With gardens in full bloom and properties looking bright and inviting, summer may in fact be the best way to showcase a property in its best possible light. Literally!

We find that weekends and evenings are often the most convenient times for our buyers, and with longer daylight hours, viewings can be at their most effective during these times. So if you are thinking of moving, summer can be a great time to consider.

DT Ask_Contents.indd 2 13/07/2015 15:40


MARKETVIEWIt’s summer and thoughts turn to holidays or even better a second home by the sea. Jenny Knight asks about possibilities.

Already hundreds of thousands of Britons own a second home in the country, on the coast or abroad. Cornwall is the most popular place for holiday homes, which are used on average for more than

30 days a year. Now this number is set to rise after the over-55s were given the

freedom to access their pension pots to spend how they choose rather than being forced to take out an annuity.

Their big decision is whether to leave the money alone, invest it themselves maybe on a buy-to-let property, or whether to combine investment and pleasure by buying a holiday home.

According to Justin Marking of Savills, Truro has become popular with second home buyers who are snapping up bargains after values fell dramatically post-Lehman Brothers collapse. Other West Country areas where prices are still below their peak are Exeter, Dartmoor and Salcombe. The return of City bonuses last year is also driving the aspiration to own a holiday home.

Liam Bailey, head of residential research at Knight Frank, says: “The second home market was one of the most resilient sectors of the housing market in the recent recession. And the recovery has coincided with a trend for taking holidays in the UK.“

Holidaying in the UK is thought of as the green option compared with long-haul destinations. So now ‘staycations’ are the fashionable and easy way to enjoy a break, holiday lets have become a year-round investment.

Toby Turnage of Knight Frank Wandsworth Common adds: “With forecast increases over the next five years in the London house market, it will be interesting to see if a trend develops in the second home market. With costs so high to move in London, we could start to see some buyers staying put rather than trading up and looking to invest that money elsewhere. A second home in the country or on the coast gives them the space they need for weekends and school holidays, although that extra space can still end up costing a lot.

“At the other end of the scale are the demographic with access to their pension. We could see a trend develop here of buy-to-let purchases in London and Greater London areas looking to benefit from the long-term capital growth rather than short-term high yields.“

A fine choice for a modern aristocrat. Sophia House (named after a Georgian

princess), which overlooks the exclusive Royal Wimbledon Golf Course and is in

a private road, has a lot to offer Princess Beatrice. It’s rumoured that she’s very

interested.The £6.95m new-build mansion from Newcourt Residential

offers an impressive four storeys of living and entertaining space. There’s an indoor swimming pool, sauna, steam room, media

and wine-tasting rooms to complement the landscaped gardens and generous outdoor living area. There are six

bedrooms and numerous balconies at the rear of the house from which to enjoy the famously leafy

surroundings. Savills Wimbledon 020 8971 8128.

South West London in summer is a fantastic place to be and the area seems to come alive with activity, whether playing frisbee on Wandsworth Common or sipping Pimm’s at one of our many pubs or cafés.

We’ve had some lovely local events keeping us busy over the past few weeks, particularly the Trinity Hospice’s Wandsworth Friends Garden Party, which we sponsored. Once again it turned out to be a fantastic evening, raising over £66,000 in support of the Trinity nurses who rely entirely on such fundraising.

Our buyers also seemed to have perked up with the better weather and are treating their property search with a renewed vigour. Many of them, particularly those who were tentatively looking up to and over the general election, are moving quickly when they find the right property to secure their purchase.

With record low interest rates and mortgages, employment levels high and the FTSE in a good position, all point towards an opportune time to buy and our buyers are fully aware of this.

Nevertheless, our market is certainly having to adjust to the new stamp duty rates announced in December last year’s Autumn Statement. The prime London markets now have to operate in a relatively high tax environment, which can make a significant difference for the higher value properties. Our vendors are aware of this, however, so it is just a case of aligning vendor and buyer expectations to come to a happy result for everyone.

These SDLT changes will of course take time to be fully absorbed into the market, yet our Research department are positive about Wandsworth and the surrounding area’s future in the property market, with a forecast up to 2019 of over 20 per cent.

For the buyers out there, we have some fabulous properties on the market and some really beautiful gardens. Funnily enough, we always receive more requests for properties with outside space from spring to autumn, when the weather improves and any suntraps become all the more appealing.

Each year, as winter approaches, these requests undoubtedly lessen. Nevertheless, properties with some outside space do demand a premium, whether a garden or a roof terrace, all year round.

NEWPUBLICPARKDesigns for the new six-acre public park at Battersea Power Station –

featuring large event lawns, play spaces and terraced river gardens – have been unveiled by the developers.

The new park, designed by LDA Design, secured detailed planning consent earlier this year and is due to open in phases from 2017. Green space the size

of almost three-and-a-half football pitches will contain a riverside promenade and serve as a multi-programmable space throughout the year.

Meanwhile the first of Battersea Power Station’s four iconic chimneys has risen again. The unveiling of the south-west chimney marks a key step in the full rebuild

programme, which will be completed in the summer of 2016. The process was undertaken by specialist contractors including construction

managers Skanska, expert heritage building consultants Beroa Bierrum and Buro Happold Engineering, who have been using the same methods to the original chimney

build from back in the 1930s to ensure the new chimneys are rebuilt to be visually identical to the originals.

The 42-acre site is divided into seven main development phases, which will deliver nearly 4000 new homes as well as offices, shops, restaurants, bars, cafes, hotels, community and

leisure facilities and over 18 acres of open space. Starting price for homes still available is £1,439,000 (Battersea Power Station Development Company 020 7501 0678).

Pictured in front of the newly rebuilt chimney are Tim Jones, of Historic England; Councillor Ravi Govindia (above), London Borough of Wandsworth; and Rob Tincknell, BPSCC.

RECORDFETEAbbeville Fete at the end of June, in its 19th year of fundraising for deserving local charities, collected a grand total of more than £43,000, a record for the event.

Jacksons Estate Agents hosted a Pimm’s bar and barbecue by the Church of the Holy Spirit (pictured). Sheep sheared in front of The Abbeville pub seemed pleased to lose their coats in the hot sunshine, and there were plenty of stalls and fun activities for visitors of all ages.

Donations were made to five local charities: Ace of Clubs, Age UK, Kids City, Lambeth Summer Projects and the Church of the Holy Spirit.

NEWJOINERChris Chris Linton has joined Savills Cranbrook as associate director after working in estate agency in the area for 23 years.

Born, raised and educated in the area, Chris previously worked as a manager for Jackson-Stops & Staff in Cranbrook for eight years. He is a member of the National Association of Estate Agents, and a keen rugby and cricket enthusiast.

ARE YOU FINDING A RUSH OF ‘SECOND

STEPPERS’ NOW THEY ARE IN A BETTER

POSITION TO MOVE ONWARDS AND

UPWARDS?DOUGLAS BERNARD

WINKWORTH HERNE HILL

The uncertainty in the property market created in turn by the Scottish referendum, general election, mansion tax fears and the eurozone crisis has

been replaced by a growing confidence thanks to the lowest ever mortgage rates for a generation.

‘Second Steppers’ waiting to find their next home are benefiting from the jump in values in the property market. Increased equity in

their first homes together with greater mortgage savings is allowing these buyers to put down larger deposits towards their second homes.

Herne Hill is particularly popular with easy commuting to the City and West End and there are excellent family-

friendly leisure facilities and great local schools enhanced by the lovely setting of Brockwell Park and its Lido.

STEPHANIE MANT CLUTTONS

BATTERSEA & CLAPHAMRecently there has been a noticeable increase in clients looking

for their second home. Normally, following the sale of their flat, people are in a position to proceed to the next step in purchasing a three or four-bedroom house. Clients in Battersea and Clapham stay in the area for

many years and move up the houses gradually as their families grow.A great example is a property we marketed on Berber Street: a three-bedroom

family house in need of modernisation. Following multiple bids after being marketed for offers in the region of £1.2m, a sale was agreed after

a sealed bid. Many buyers in this process were ‘second steppers’ looking to settle into their next home for the coming five to 10 years.

WORD ONTHE STREET

REGENT’SPARKRUNA 70-strong team from estate agent KFH ran around Regent’s Park to raise £25,000 for charity in the London Estate Agents 10k event in June.

Their efforts raised valuable funds for Housing for Women, which has been providing homes for London’s most vulnerable women for more 80 years. The organisation provides secure, affordable housing and related services to women and children across the capital.

Leading the KFH charge was Leigh Munday, sales manager at Clapham Common branch, who finished in a time of 50 minutes 52 seconds. KFH managing director Lee Watts said: “We have been working with Housing for Women since early 2014, and took part in the charity run last year raising over £10,000.”

Funds raised on this year’s run were combined with other KFH office initiatives. “The outcome has been phenomenal, with our staff helping to raise over £12,000, which the company then matched, helping to raise a grand total of £25,000,” said Lee Watts.

NATURALBEAUTY The nation’s favourite home store IKEA has teamed up with Ilse

Crawford, the top London designer and founder of the south-London based Studioilse, to offer high-end design at IKEA prices.

IKEA’s new head of design Marcus Engman is determined to raise the ‘design quality’ of the brand and set up a collaboration between the Swedish company and Studioilse. The result, unveiled during Stockholm Design Week, is a range of cork and natural-fibre home-ware products in Crawford’s signature muted palette, which style-wise follows Studioilse’s principles of presenting simple, useful forms that fit into everyday life. “It should work in a bathroom in Mumbai as well as a kitchen in Neasden,” says Crawford.

Working closely with the designers and researchers at IKEA, Studioilse was able to tap into the vast resources of such a large brand but still keep a focus on the quality of the materials and details of the products.

IKEA says that the collection “explores the beauty and tactility of their raw properties and celebrates the imperfections that arise in the process of their production. They are designed to engage our senses and connect us to our homes.”

Sinnerlig (a typical IKEA made-up word, combining the Swedish word for sensuous and heartfelt) is a range of around 30 products – from larger furniture pieces such as cork-covered tables and a daybed, with a mid-century Danish feel, down to hand-blown glass bottles and rustic jugs.

There are natural materials, cotton, bamboo and seagrass but cork is predominant in the line-up, used in thin layers to cover table tops and seats as well as thicker sections to form tops for jars and bases for lamps.

The range will be available at IKEA stores and online from August.

>>SPOT TREATMENT. Ceiling spotlights – a cruel light form, not flattering or relaxing. Switch instead to an eclectic mix of lamps - small and large.

>>SOFT OPTIONS. Too much matchy, matchy! Curtains and cushions can be sisters – they don’t need to be identical twins. Aim for a mix of shade and texture.

>>FEATHERED FRIENDS? Too many owls! They are cropping up everywhere as cute accessories. They are no longer a hoot! Help release them to the wild?

>>ANIMAL ATTRACTION. It’s always been a balancing act between classy and tacky – think Joan Collins v Bet Lynch. The scales have tipped and it’s time for extinction!

DESIGNER DOUBLEACTEasy peasy – if you’re an expert. Jenny Knight talks to the man with the answers.

It’s no surprise that Oliver Lindsay’s project to refurbish a handsome period house was a great success. After all, Oliver is a surveyor, married to an interior designer and a partner in Elmerston, a business

that manages home renovations and development for private clients. Even so, he admits costs ran over budget and the work took

longer than expected. Oliver and his wife Caroline Shasha planned to create the perfect

home to bring up their two boys, three and one. Their site in Bellevue village offered spectacular scope to create a perfect modern house wrapped up in a stylish period shell with the added bonus that the plot included a garage and a large area of ground, where another entirely new house could be built.

“The house and plot already had planning permission when we bought it in Christmas 2013. But we found the plans weren’t practical and not suitable for a period house, so time was spent adapting the planning permission.“

Instead of a glass box on the back of the house, Oliver wanted to build a gentler extension that would suit a traditional brick-built period house. Then nearly everything was stripped out leaving just the brick framework.

“We put in new electrics, new plumbing, new bathrooms, new floors, new drainage, new guttering and new ceilings – in places we increased the ceiling height. We kept the cornicing and ceiling details and also the fireplaces, making sure they worked and putting in new hearths.“

In addition, a generous light-filled basement was dug – using the empty plot next door for access, sparing neighbours much of the dust and disruption that basement construction causes. The side return was extended and glass doors fitted across the back of the house to extend the entertaining space onto a paved terrace leading to the garden.

For the finishing touches including paint, sanitary ware and tiles, Caroline was brought in to use her design skills. The house is now finished and provides nearly 3000 square feet of space with five or six bedrooms and four bathrooms.

Yet plans change and Lindsay and Caroline have decided to stay put in their Battersea home. Appropriately the house is now on sale with Knight Frank – the company where Oliver began his career as a graduate surveyor specialising in residential development.

Oliver’s top tips:Nearly all projects cost more and take longer than hoped, so have a contingency fund and a contract

in place with your builders. Realise that a lot of old houses will need new electrics and plumbing so budget for that.

Designed by architect Charles Voysey, this

beautifully restored Grade II listed house presents a unique family home in the heart of WandsworthRupert Greig, Foxtons Earlsfield


Grade II listed and now beautifully restored, this exceptional detached

house opposite Wandsworth Common was originally designed

by English Arts and Crafts architect Charles Voysey.

The six-bedroom house was built in 1903 by the Holloway Brothers,

and around the same time Voysey – a pioneer of modern design – also created

the Sanderson Wallpaper Factory in Chiswick, with its bold piers and glazed-

brick walls.One of the best known of Voysey’s

works is 14 South Parade, Bedford Park W4, built for artist JW Forster in around

1890. Described at the time as a ‘startling white house’, that property is now regarded

as an outstanding example of Arts and Crafts architecture.

The Voysey house, currently on the market in Lyford Road, has been restored and extended

by its current owners together with specialist architects Giles Quarme of South East London.

Two impressive reception rooms have attractive wooden flooring, a spectacular entrance hall can

welcome your visitors with a roaring fire from the original fireplace, and the extensive kitchen features an

Aga stove.A superb master bedroom suite on the first floor is

bathed in natural light, and the home offers plenty of storage space throughout. The rear garden stretches to

almost 150ft and contains a summer house and a swimming pool. There’s also a front garden and off-street parking.

Charles Voysey’s grandfather, engineer and architect Annesley Voysey, is credited with the design of London’s first

purpose-built office block – long since demolished.

DYNAMICDUO

Award winning Winchester White has just opened its second branch. Alex Winchester tells

Jenny Knight he has big plans for the future.

As a competitive schoolboy, Alex Winchester won a sports scholarship to Box

Hill School in Dorking. Since then his will to win has driven him to launch his

own business. “I’m ambitious and I’m very sociable,

which gives me an ideal personality for a lettings agent.”

He left university with a 2:1 in business management and worked for Foxtons in

Wimbledon – his home town – for five years. He says: “I studied entrepreneurship as

part of my degree and my burning ambition was to do my own thing. I launched Winchester

White in 2009, in Wimbledon because I knew the area so well.

“Our ethos is to do lettings and property management to an exceptional level. It was quite

a brave decision to do lettings only, but it means we are not part of another business and can have a

clear vision and commit to one thing helped by good staff.

“At Wimbledon we hit the ground running. I wanted to compete with the big agencies from day one. We aim

for the whole spectrum of the market from studio flats to Wimbledon village homes letting for £15,000 a month.”

He had early encouragement that he had made the right

decision in going it alone when Winchester White won Best Newcomer in The Times and The Sunday Times Lettings Agency of the Year Awards.

The second branch opened this April in Lavender Hill giving Winchester White the ability to cover the entire area from Wimbledon, Raynes Park, Southfields to Battersea, Clapham and Wandsworth. Once again the office is sandwiched between a range of competitors, but as Alex explains: “I like competition. It’s like Hatton Garden. It’s the market place you want to be in. People visit one agent and stop to look at another.“

He adds: “What makes us special is our transparency, being honest with clients and tenants and making them aware of any fees and obligations. As a company we focus on bespoke relationships. We want to be your agent until you sell the property, looking to the long term, hoping to retain clients as dentists and doctors do. We are the first to review our service if we ever lose a client.”

One of the ways of providing a better service is to be available whenever a landlord or tenant wants to make contact. “We are open from 8am to 8pm. We also have a 24-hour contact number.”

Despite working 12-hour days for six days a week, Alex is also a marathon runner, although he says he finds it hard to find time to fit in his training sessions in Battersea Park. He completed the London Marathon in 2014 and also this year, achieving his best time of 3 hours, 12 minutes and 30 seconds.

FOCUS ON ALEX WINCHESTER

DT Profile WINCHESTER.indd 1 13/07/2015 14:07

THENEXTBIGPLACE

Croydon is the next big place to be, according to Neil Laman, south east

director of Foxtons, who is opening a new office in the middle of Croydon in

September. “We are very excited. Compared with

Brixton, Clapham, Dulwich and Bromley, Croydon offers great value for money.

Nowhere else can you find a decent one bedroom flat for £200,000.”

“The shopping centre is the second best after central London with a Westfield centre

due to open and transport links are excellent – Victoria in 16 minutes or London Bridge in 18.

Millions are being spent on the pedestrianised central zone and masses of new builds are going

up, including the grand 43-storey Saffron Tower with concierge and gyms, so builders are backing

Croydon. It’s a great place to both live and invest in.”

SOUTH LONDONHOTSPOTSJenny Knight hunts out the new on-trend places to buy south of the river

There was a time when taxi drivers refused to go south of the river – but that was when South London was awash with bargain-priced homes. Since then prices have soared

and yummy mummies and posh agents have colonised what used to be rough areas.

Yet buyers with shallow pockets should not despair. There are still areas of South London where pretty homes close to parks or transport links can be bought for less than the cost of the entire gold reserves in Fort Knox.

While once dodgy Balham has gone upmarket, as has formerly tatty Tooting, along with Peckham and Streatham, agents say that good value can still be found, provided intrepid buyers are prepared to think outside the post code and further down the tube line.

Those who think the unthinkable and go off the underground grid altogether can be pleasantly surprised at how fast the overground trains are – and, comparatively speaking, less crowded and more airy.

London’s booming population is leading to the transformation and rediscovery of areas once thought too far out to consider. Developers are also eyeing up these newly up-and-coming areas and before brave buyers know it they will be ahead of the trend in living in the latest whizz-bang corners of the capital.

We highlight Croydon, Mitcham, Catford and South Norwood as places where people who are priced out of the inner areas of South London could hunt for their first home or for a sizeable family house with a generous garden that would cost millions in areas already benefiting from the Waitrose effect.

Property zones are a bit like dominos in that once the neighbouring borough has swish coffee bars and specialist shops selling honey and hand crafted toys, it is only a matter of time before the gentrification process begins and prices are on the up.

EXCELLENTVALUE

In Mitcham, buyers can get a three-bedroom house for under £350,000 – a sum that would

only buy a small flat in Tooting, according to Noel Lawrence of Kinleigh Folkard & Hayward.

“It is absolutely good value and with a new station at Eastfields it has better connectivity.“ Mitcham

also has two commons: Figges Marsh, where family events are run, and Mitcham Common, good for

wildlife and fishing, as well as a golf course.

Mitcham Cricket Club is reportedly the world’s longest continuously used ground. Cricket has been played on the green since 1685.

INVESTOR APPEAL

Most visitors know Catford for the horrors of the South Circular, but out of the traffic jams it has many

attractions, like the Broadway Theatre housed in an art deco building and Mountsfield Park with fairs and

cultural events. Lee Savigar from Robinson-Jackson says: “We are

getting a lot of interest from investors and home seekers from North West London and South West London on the

basis that this is one of the last SE postal codes that has not seen huge increases in prices.

“It is definitely still affordable and the area is changing. The types buying are quite different from the people who bought 10

to 15 years ago. There is a conservation area with quiet roads and large four to six-bedroom houses. The cheapest one to two-

bedroom flat here would be about £190,000.“

UPANDCOMINGSouth Norwood is another soon-to-be hotspot with good transport links and a three-bedroom terraced house costing an average of £400,000.

Tyrone Eneh, from Kinleigh Folkard & Hayward, says: “It’s very much up-and-coming with a mix of 1930s and period stock. It is easy for us to sell in South Norwood when people can’t quite afford Crystal Palace. We show them the area and they like it and they see value in buying now before prices go up.

“South Norwood has a lake, a boat club and a number of parks with a couple of good schools. Last year we sold a bigger house for £900,000 that would have cost a couple of million near to Wandsworth Common.“

There is nothing to stop anyone setting up as a lettings agent. Rent a shop, offer a cut-price service to landlords and you could be in business. “You could even use your spare bedroom and start taking deposits, without safeguarding the money or

knowing anything about gas safety certificates or other rules,” says Rachel Hanniquet-Brooking.

Rachel is the South London representative for ARLA – the Association of Residential Lettings Agents and also, senior lettings manager at Hamptons International in Clapham.

She adds: “It’s just awful that tenants and landlords don’t always have proper protection. It should be compulsory for lettings agents to be regulated and belong to a professional body.”

ARLA is the UK’s foremost professional body for lettings agents with over 8,000 members made up of agents who can demonstrate a thorough knowledge of the profession and ethics.

ARLA-licensed agents are covered by the Association’s Client Money Protection Scheme, and must also have indemnity insurance and follow the code of practice. Members have to update their professional development each year to keep up-to-date with changing legislation.

Rachel says: “ARLA protects both landlords and tenants and offers routes and qualifications to people who want to get into the industry. Anyone who gets qualified through ARLA is someone you can trust. The Association represents excellence in the industry. I wanted to be part of it and to bring my knowledge and experience to see how I could help the industry.”

She had an adventurous childhood, living in Singapore, Australia and America, with a father in the oil industry. “We were always packing and dealing with relocation agents. By the age of 25 I had lived in 25 houses.”

Not surprisingly she ended up using that experience professionally. After running her own consultancy offering advice to landlords and estate agents on all aspects of the property industry, she approached Hamptons when they opened a new office in Balham, moments from her doorstep.

“They wanted someone to open up lettings in a new branch. With my local knowledge and experience I was ideal. We immediately delivered on rental levels and customer service and had the opportunity to support local events and schools.”

This January Rachel moved to Clapham to take over the running of one of Hamptons’ most established branches, which celebrates over 25 years at Clapham Common.

“I moved to spearhead a strong team. I talk to landlords honestly. People can ask me anything and my knowledge of so many aspects of the industry is available to them. We have a vast amount of property on our books and landlords know that I place people with the same care as if I were putting them into my own property.”

Hamptons don’t just let big houses. They deal with studio flats up to large houses. One of their skills is placing the right tenants with the right landlord. Some landlords are happy to accommodate the sharer market, while others look to the family or corporate market.

Rachel’s advice for potential landlords is to ensure the home looks wonderful from the front path and front door and to take pride in any common areas of a flat. ARLA is someone you can trust.

Report by David Smith, group head of PR and Marketing at Octagon Developments

Well, despite the fact that we have now entered the traditionally quiet summer period, as far as property transactions are concerned, Octagon

find themselves in a somewhat different situation to the supposed norm, having recently sold a number of their high-end properties.

Talking to my agent friends in SW19 and in the wealthy neighbourhoods along the A3 corridor down to Cobham, it would appear that we are not the only people making good progress in property sales, with earlier concerns of a potentially unstable market following on from the general election now being a thing of the past.

As a company, we tend to find ourselves developing within the interior of the M25, invariably on private estates or roads with just the occasional odd sortie further afield.

So it is with much relish that I have to report that Octagon have just released a large, very much country-style residence, deep within the picturesque Hampshire countryside. The property is still within a 20-minute drive of Farnham town and has access onto the A3 motorway into London.

Launched on July 11, the new house in question is Burford Place (pictured), a secluded seven-bedroom home set within 5.5 acres at the end of a 150-yard long driveway, on the market for £4.75m. This generous plot provides the perfect space for creating a paddock and stables for horses, and it would be the ideal country pad for families looking to upsize and move away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

REGALECORegal suburban living is promised at a new

development of six four and five-bedroom contemporary homes close to Richmond Park

at Kingston upon Thames. Set around a courtyard in a private gated community,

properties at 219 Park Road have been built to high specifications and just three homes are available in the first

release. Each has a bespoke kitchen by Schuller with white glass and light grey lacquered units and integrated Siemens

appliances. The development has achieved a Code for Sustainable

Homes Level 4 standard, with all properties boasting eco features including photovoltaic roof cells, energy efficient

appliances, high levels of insulation and high performance windows and bi-fold doors by Munster.

MANSION TAXThe Conservative victory in the general election brought great relief to homeowners and sellers of properties worth over £2 million. As the spectre of Labour’s mansion tax has now been removed, the prices of Britain’s luxury properties are expected to soar by 25 per cent in the next five years. By 2020, the number of £1.5m properties in prime London areas is estimated to increase by 23 per cent.

Once the election results were announced on May 8, many domestic and foreign buyers for luxury properties immediately became active in the market again and rushed to estate agencies to sign contracts. London once again has turned into one of the preferred locations for investment.

LOOSENING PENSION RESTRICTIONS The pension scheme implemented since 2010 only allowed you to gain very limited interest and many restrictions were applied. Apart from offering a free bus pass, TV licence and winter fuel payment, Conservatives increased the State Pension and loosened the restraints.

Citizens aged 55 and over are entitled to take 25 per cent of their pension as a tax-free lump sum to finance higher return investments, while the rest of the pension can be withdrawn at a reduced tax rate. According to Halifax’s study between 2000 and 2014, the return on real estate investment was as high as 132 per cent, which was relatively more stable and offered higher profits than other investments. Britain’s real estate has become one of retirees’ favourite investment options and many join the ranks of buy-to-let landlord.

INHERITANCE TAXThe Conservative party intends to increase the Inheritance Tax threshold from £650,000 to £1m. This allowance is transferable for main residences when they are passed to children or grandchildren. The rate of Inheritance Tax is 40 per cent on anything above the threshold. This new allowance will be tapered away from those leaving more than £2m with the intention that those leaving more than £2.35m will not benefit from the new allowance.

NON-DOMSThe Conservative victory in this election has let high-net-worth UK residents enjoy the right to maintain their non-dom identity. Therefore, they may not have to pay UK tax on foreign income.

FIVE-YEAR ‘TAX-LOCK’David Cameron unveiled a five-year ‘tax lock’ within 100 days of the election and he promises legislation guaranteeing no hikes to income tax, VAT, or national insurance before May 2020.

TAX-FREE SAVINGS ALLOWANCEChancellor George Osborne announced that the first £1000 of interest earned on savings would be completely tax-free for lower earners from next year.

Conservatives introduced the new policies aiming to solve the housing problems in the UK. In fact, overseas investors for the UK’s luxury property are mainly from Asia and the Middle East. The Conservative government has removed investors’ concerns about the uncertainty of the UK real estate market and encouraged them to continuously invest in UK property.

Industry experts expect that property values in the prime London market will grow steadily, while those outside of London, or in London suburbs, will have a significant gain within the next decade. With the new policies in favour of business, the prospects of the housing industry are promising.

LOYALTYBENEFIT

Nationwide has cut selected five-year fixed rate mortgage deals by up to 0.15 percentage points for

existing Nationwide mortgage customers. The move is almost certainly to stop them switching to another lenderThe reductions are part of the Nationwide Loyalty

Rate Mortgages initiative, which compares the society’s mortgage rates for existing customers to those of its top six

high street competitors.The Loyalty Rate Mortgages changes include a two-year

fixed loan for borrowers with an 85 per cent deposit cut by 0.15 points to 3.24 per cent. The arrangement fee has also

been abolished. The five-year loan with a 10 per cent deposit has been cut to 3.84 per cent and again there is no fee.

The five-year fixed-rate deal with a 15 per cent deposit, a fee of £999 and an interest rate of 3.24 per cent has, however, been

withdrawn.

MONEYTIPHardly a week goes by without another rock-bottom mortgage rate being launched as lenders aggressively compete for business. Subsequently, I am often asked how borrowers can ensure they qualify for the cheapest products.

The very best rates are at the lower loan-to-value bands (sub 60 per cent or sub 75 per cent), so you need to have equity in your home or a large deposit if it is a purchase. As well as a large deposit, you will need a perfect, or very good, credit file and easily demonstrable, regular income.

But even if you can’t get the cheapest rate, there are plenty of excellent rates available to those with a smaller deposit and more complex income streams.

INTERESTONLY Lenders aim to tempt mature borrowers and City workers, reports Duncan Farmer

Interest-only mortgages are back in fashion, as lenders compete with each other, just over a year since the loan market was tightened up. There are also far more loans – almost 200, compared with a little over

50 in 2012 – available to borrowers with just a five per cent deposit. The cost of them is coming down, too, and figures from Moneyfacts

suggest that the average rate on a 95 per cent mortgage is down to 4.59 per cent from 5.79 per cent three years ago. Brian Murphy of the Mortgage Advice Bureau says people are now taking out bigger loans than at any time since the recession seven years ago.

However, the criteria lenders use to assess such applications remains tight.Problems with interest-only loans were highlighted a few years ago when analysts

said they were a time bomb, because many borrowers had no means to pay them off. Officially, applicants are supposed to have another investment vehicle – in the past it was an endowment policy – in place to ensure that the capital was repaid at the end of the term.

Now, however, it seems that lenders are happy for their clients simply to use growth in the value of their home to cover the outstanding debt. With house prices continuing to rise – London house prices are up almost six per cent in the past year according to Rightmove – their policy is understandable.

The attraction of interest-only loans is that the monthly cost is lower than for a traditional repayment mortgage.

There are two types of borrower that lenders are keen to focus on. First are existing older borrowers, who are struggling to find other loans. Santander says it is to launch interest-only 25-year loans to mature borrowers, with the implication being that when they die their house will be sold to cover the capital debt.

The second group are City workers who can use their annual bonus to repay chunks of capital. This year’s bonus pot for the City’s brokers, bankers and lawyers is set to exceed £10 billion, with many senior staff and directors taking home an extra £1 million-plus.

“Over the next couple of years, we will see some relaxation of interest-only mortgages,” said Ray Boulger, of John Charcol, the mortgage broker.

The only danger is if house prices fall and borrowers are unable to sell at a price high enough to cover the sum owed. Or, of course, if healthy homeowners enjoy a very long life.

spf.co.ukThe number of mortgages approved in May – the latest figures available – fell slightly against analysts’ expectations, according to the Bank of England, although statistics also show that amount of money borrowed rose slightly compared with the previous month.

It had been expected that uncertainty surrounding the general election would make some buyers put off a decision, particularly as polls had suggested a hung parliament. However, housebuilder Barratt says its sales were unaffected in May.

While mortgage approvals were sluggish, elsewhere consumer credit – credit cards, overdrafts and bank loans – rose at their fastest pace in a decade.

GOODHOPEAND GRACIOUSLIVINGSet in a peaceful corner location a short walk from Wimbledon Village, Grade II

listed Good Hope was built in 1905 for Petrus Cornelius van den Poel Hiddingh and his wife Blanche Esther Nightingale, daughter of the Civil Commissioner of

the Cape of Good Hope. Blanche was a direct descendant of William the Conqueror and husband Petrus

the nephew of Cornelius Hiddingh, special Envoy of the King of Netherlands to South Africa. Their Colonial Cape-style home was designed for them by Major Spencer Carey Curtis of the House of Carey of Guernsey.

In recent years this elegant detached house, which stands in mature landscaped grounds of more than half an acre, has been extensively refurbished with interior design by experts Visu Verum. Retained original features such as the oak staircase, gallery balcony, panelled doors and open fireplaces combine with high-tech home technology from underfloor heating to iPad-controlled intelligent home automation.

Room temperatures can be set individually, and the home also has night-vision CCTV, digital bath and shower controls, Sonos music systems, Cat 6 Ethernet cabling, irrigation and remote-controlled outdoor lighting.

Good Hope provides more than 4400 sq ft of luxurious living and entertaining space in the main house and the potential to extend into the basement. It also has a separate one-bedroom cottage together with an opportunity to develop another dwelling at the rear of the garden.

House on Quakers estate Guide price £995,000

St Nons is an updated three-bedroom detached house in the village of Jordans in the Chiltern Hills. Surrounded

by open countryside and woodland, the property is a few miles from the market town of Beaconsfield.

The village takes its name from Old Jordans, the farmstead where Quaker farmers lived in the 17th Century.

When land became available in 1915, Quakers created the Jordans Village Estate. Savills on 01494 731950.

WESTELMSWandsworth Borough has seen significant

growth over the last few years. According to Land Registry, property prices have risen 28

per cent since 2012, and 9.9 per cent in the past year. The average property value for the area is now £680,135. New-build development West Elms Studios offers

a collection of 22 homes including a mix of luxury one and two-bedroom apartments in an impressive modernist

building. Offering expansive views of the area, the development in Stewarts Road, Battersea, boasts outdoor

terraces, underfloor heating, secure entry, passenger lifts and floor-to-ceiling glazing.

Adrian Dyer, Land and New Homes sales manager at KFH, said: “West Elms Studios is in an area that offers a variety

of local amenities within short walking distances, including Battersea Park and Clapham Old Town. Once the regeneration

of Nine Elms and Battersea Power Station completes, there will also be a hub of cultural and leisure activities available, including

the New Covent Garden Market and the Riverside Walk. “Significant investment in these areas is likely to increase house

values quite significantly in the coming years. Therefore, properties in close proximity such as West Elms Studios are also likely to be a good

investment, particularly for first-time buyers. Dyer added that new-build properties in this area are also ideal for

buy-to-let investors keen to take advantage of the good transport links and value for money that the area offers. “The average rental yield in SW8

is around 3.5 per cent per year. Rental yields for West Elms Studios vary between 3.8 and 5.8 per cent per year depending on the type of property,

with one-bedroom apartments offering the best return.” Wandsworth Road station, a short walk away, has trains to Victoria – a

23-minute journey. One-bedroom apartments start at £280,000 and two-bedroom apartments £360,000. KFH Land and New Homes 020 8222 7200.

ASKTHE LOCALWhy Balham? South asks Becky Manwaring of Knight Frank Wandsworth.

What’s going for it?

Balham has seen significant change in the past few years and has a growing reputation as one of the capital’s most sought-after addresses. This is due to high-achieving schools and good transport links along with shops, restaurants and easy access to the green space of Tooting Common.

Well connected?

As it’s on the Northern Line, Balham is well connected to many vital London spots. Bank and London Bridge are only 20 minutes away. There’s also a National Rail station that takes you to Victoria in around 15 minutes. It makes for a very convenient place to live for any commuters.

And the schools?

Excellent local schools include Holy Ghost Catholic, Ravenstone Primary, Hornsby House and Balham Preparatory.

Hangout at...

There’s a wealth of places to choose from to eat and drink in Balham with all tastes catered for. Milk is a fantastic little café which is very popular and does a great breakfast. If you are after a chilled out evening, Balham Bowls Club is a cosy pub with a great atmosphere.

Where to buy

The Nightingale Triangle has some lovely quiet streets that offer some fantastic terraced houses with good-sized gardens. If you are after a larger footprint or want more lateral space then the Heaver Estate is the perfect option.

Gem of the monthFantastic unmodernised double-fronted house in Elmbourne Road, on the popular Heaver Estate, is the perfect development opportunity.

HISTORICSOUTHLONDONRESIDENCE

This unique Georgian house is located on one of South London’s premier squares. West Square is named after the West family who owned the land. This house was

owned by the Admiralty from around 1795 and became the headquarters of the shutter telegraph system, which sent visual signals using a form of semaphore.

From the roof, the Admiralty in Whitehall was visible and the house was the residence of the Superintendent of the Telegraph. Lines ran from here to the naval ports of Chatham, Portsmouth and Plymouth. In 1812 the construction of the new Bethlehem Hospital (Bedlam), now the Imperial War Museum, obstructed the view from the house to the Admiralty, so it was proposed to move the telegraph into the dome of the new building. However, it was argued that the noise of the shutter system would terrify the insane inmates and permission was refused. Consequently a high wooden tower was erected on the house, allowing the line of sight to be retained. The tower was demolished in the 1840s, when the electric telegraph arrived. The top storey of this house is formed from the brick base of the lost wooden tower. Over the years successive Superintendents made further changes to the house, adding the bow window at the front and extending it at the rear. The last Commander, Charles Jay was allowed to stay here when the telegraph closed and his descendants lived in the house until the early 20th century.

Arranged over five floors, the property comprises a fully fitted kitchen, dining room, two receptions, a study, four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a separate W.C. and a self contained flat on the third (top) floor; with an additional reception, bedroom, kitchen and shower room. The garden, one of the largest on the square, was designed by George Carter.

HAVENOFPEACE

Gale, a stately Victorian house in the East Sussex village of Chelwood Gate, was built at the end of the 19th century for Lord Robert Cecil, son of the Marquis of Salisbury and the

future Viscount Cecil of Chelwood.Cecil enjoyed a long and distinguished career as a politician

and statesman, co-founding the League of Nations and receiving the Nobel Peace Prize. He and his wife, Lady Eleanor Lambton, daughter of the second Earl of Durham, lived at Gale for almost 60 years. In the 1920s they regularly hosted gatherings of creative thinkers, writers and artists of the Bloomsbury Group – as recorded in Virginia Woolf’s diaries.

The property later became the home of Conservative peer Lord Ashdown, a friend of British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan, whose family mansion at neighbouring Birch Grove welcomed US President John F Kennedy for a historic East Sussex encounter in June 1963.

Set in gardens and grounds of 2.35 acres surrounded by Ashdown Forest, unlisted Gale offers almost 8500 sq ft of inside living space – including the integral garage – on three floors. The current owners significantly extended and rearranged the layout of the kitchen and breakfast area for modern family living in 2002.

The main reception rooms have high ceilings and fine wood floors. The drawing room and library have working fireplaces and graceful bow windows leading to the York stone terrace. Sliding doors in the reception hall and on the landing may have been used for the privacy of distinguished guests.

Magnificent lawns and gardens at the 11-bedroom, six-bathroom home feature a heated swimming pool, all-weather tennis court and gates onto Ashdown Forest.

Sophie Wysock-Wright of Savills Haywards Heath is enjoying life in Fletching after moving to the village last year. Here is her guided tour for South.

The High Street itself is so pretty with its distinctive black and white houses and lovely architecture. I don’t think I will ever tire of the view over our garden wall to the very special Norman church.

Fletching for me retains a magical feeling of years gone by, despite the inevitability of modern-day cars on the High Street, and there is a tranquillity and sense of genuine community spirit that binds the village together. In addition to the village deli, there are two excellent pubs each offering super food with great atmospheres and a warm welcome.

One of the major assets for me is the wonderful walks right on our doorstep, which take you into the beautiful countryside within minutes. It really is a magical place to be.

ATTRACTIONS Fletching is a picturesque village in the Wealden District of East Sussex mentioned in the Domesday Book. It is well known for its beautiful Norman church of St Andrew and St Mary the Virgin, in which Simon De Montfort kept an all-night vigil on his way to the Battle of Lewes.

The village reputedly got its name as the soldiers ‘fletched’ (feathered) their arrows here on the eve of the battle in 1264. The village was a major producer of bows and arrows from the 13th Century and these were used in the Battle of Agincourt in 1415. Fletching is also associated with the Sussex Bonfire Societies, who provide noisy processions, unbelievable outfits and fantastic firework displays throughout November.

SHOPS AND SERVICES Mr T’s provides a valuable service combining everything you need from a local village store with a deli and popular cafe. Nearby Denniker Farm Shop offers free-range and locally sourced meat and produce. The larger centres of Uckfield, Lewes, Haywards Heath, Tunbridge Wells and the seaside city of Brighton and Hove are within easy reach.

TOP STREETS High Street, Mill Lane, Ruston Bridge Road, North Hall Lane and Clapwater Lane.

RESTAURANTS AND PUBS There are two well regarded and popular public houses in Fletching: the Griffin Inn, an award winning gastropub, and the Rose and Crown.

LEISURE Fletching has a number of clubs and societies including bellringers, a choral society, bonfire society, cricket club, football club and women’s stoolball team. There’s racing nearby at Plumpton and Brighton, and sailing at Weir Wood and Ardingly reservoirs and along the south coast. The countryside surrounding Fletching is perfect for walking, riding and cycling. The Bluebell Railway and Sheffield Park National Trust gardens are also nearby.

Schools continue to drive the family house market

in Cranbrook, reports James Lloyd of Savills

Cranbrook

Demand for property in the Cranbrook School catchment area is growing at an

unprecedented rate, with proximity to the school gates the preliminary deciding

factor.We’ve really seen an uplift in applicants

who primarily want to be in the catchment area. Due to the quality of schools in this

area, it is rare for property to become readily available and the demand has been further exacerbated by a

lack of stock between £750,000 and £1.5mDemand is such that when something does come up for sale,

we receive a high level of viewings and offers from competitive parties, often completing a sale within a small timeframe at, or

just above, guide price if the property has initially been brought to the market at a realistic level.

There is an abundance of London buyers for the first time in years, including buyers who moved out last year and are renting,

waiting to strike on the right property.The result of the general election ought to bring with it renewed

political stability and economic confidence and we are hoping that we will see an increase in the quality of high-calibre stock at this level of the

marketplace as the year progresses. Sentiment among buyers is positive and as we move through the

summer months we expect this to continue. The ongoing challenge remains that demand exceeds supply and there is just not enough property

on the market in Cranbrook to satisfy the appetite of motivated buyers.Savills Cranbrook 01580 720161

The first half of the year has been unusual for Sheraton Law Clapham lettings. We expected a degree of uncertainty in the rental market prior to the election, but with the Conservative win putting paid

to Labour’s proposed changes in the rental market, we would have expected activity to substantially increase.

In reality this has not happened. Although we have seen rental increases, the available stock of properties to rent has not markedly increased. This is somewhat surprising since it is clearly not lack of available finance holding back the buy-to-let market. According to a recent article in The Times, not only are interest-only mortgages back, with lenders actually easing their restrictions, but there are

also now almost 700 buy-to-let mortgages on the market. The returns for landlords can still be substantial if you factor in capital growth

as well, and Clapham has long been a popular place to set up home. In the late 1700s and early 1800s, Clapham was favoured by the wealthier merchant classes, with many of the larger houses being built around Clapham Common and Old Town.

Sheraton Law is exceptionally pleased to offer just such an example of a large Queen Anne property (pictured) set in Old Town, incidentally in the same terrace of houses lived in by John Bentley – architect of the Byzantine-style Westminster Cathedral.

Dreams come true AD.indd 1 13/07/2015 16:12

Tell us how you joined the property industry and briefly describe your career history to date.Everything about my education and qualifications pointed towards me becoming an accountant, but I wanted to deal with people not numbers, and so it was suggested that I became an estate agent. Having started my career in Mayfair, I transferred to South London after two years working for a long-established but old-fashioned firm of chartered surveyors. I moved around the Wandsworth area progressing my career with several independent companies, and have now been based on Bellevue Road for 25 years.

What do you enjoy most about working in this market, and what have been your highlights so far?Every market throws up many challenges and you have to pick up on the changes quickly and react accordingly. We have had concern from buyers around the £2m mark, firstly with the stamp duty threshold and then the threat of a mansion tax. However, during this period of uncertainty we managed to sell several properties over £2m.

Describe the biggest challenges you face on a day-to-day basis. Every day throws up different challenges but meeting them head-on and dealing with them I find very rewarding.

What advice would you give to anyone considering a career in estate agency?It is imperative that you are a ‘people person’. Yes, we sell houses but without an interest in people and without interpersonal skills it would be better to try something else.

How difficult is the current market for homebuyers, and what advice do you give them?The recent mortgage market review has complicated things and some buyers find themselves restricted on budget. My

LAST WORDRobert Trindle of Jacksons Wandsworth Common has the final say.

first piece of advice would be for them to speak to a reputable independent

mortgage broker before starting to look.

How does the South London market differ from other areas of London?

Apart from the central London market, which seems to be dominated by foreign money,

people want to live in a certain area that suits their personal needs. In our area we are

blessed with a huge choice of schools, green open spaces and transport links meaning that

the area has become very established and will remain popular with young families. Other areas like

Shoreditch and Hackney have other attractions for a different set of residents and are still in the process

of regeneration.

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

I am a firm believer in a free market economy and history has shown that government intervention has always

created a negative as well as the positive they were trying to implement. Examples include the 1973 amendment of

the 1967 Leasehold Reform Act and Margaret Thatcher’s Right To Buy scheme, both of which led to a lack of social

housing in the public and private sectors. My policy as Prime Minister would be to allow the markets to find their own level.

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

A sports journalist. Travel and watching sport – a perfect combination!
