ask the expert…...sales manager

QWhat advice would you give first-time buyers on viewing, putting in an offer, and the dangers of gazumping?

Amy Steele, sales manager of Kinleigh Folkard & Hayward Battersea, replies ...

AIn the current market, with high levels of demand for a relatively small pool of properties, it’s

important for all buyers to try to be as available and flexible as possible for

viewings. This is especially true for first-time buyers, who are often competing against buy-to-let investors for the one and two-bedroom properties.

It is very common for open days to take place on Saturdays so it’s important at the start of your search to allocate these days to viewings, and this may mean that you need to give up a few of your usual weekend activities.

When viewing, make sure you see as many properties as possible, and don’t judge a book by its cover. Even if it is not right for you, you can use the viewing to give vital feedback to your agent and often it will give you a clearer idea of exactly what your budget will buy and what specifics you are not prepared to compromise on.

When putting in an offer, give the agent as much information as possible in writing, including timescales, chain and finance information. When entering into best and final offers, you should offer as much as you feel a property is worth, so that if you have your offer accepted, you are happy with the price you are paying, and if you don’t, you can hold your head up high.

Any buyer can legally offer on a property at any time, even after an offer has been accepted, and agents must put this forward to the seller. This makes gazumping a concern for many buyers, so make your offer as early as possible, and if you are successful, ask the agent to tell all the disappointed parties before you pay for the survey.

Finally, aim to exchange as quickly as you can. The best way to do this is to ensure that you have your mortgage broker and solicitors lined up at the beginning, so you’re able to get things moving from the start.

village vibeJonathan Loney, manager of John D Wood & Co Southfields, takes South on a guided tour of his territoryATTRACTIONS Wimbledon Park is on our doorstep offering a vast array of

activities for all the family ranging from the boating lake to crazy golf, beach volleyball, and of course, tennis!

SHOPS The Delicious Deli provides all those ingredients you are looking for when having that impromptu lunch or dinner party. Chanteroy, the French Deli, makes the best baguettes and draws regulars from far afield to travel to pick up their favourite one. De Rosier Chocolate and Coffee Shop on Revelstoke Road serves a proper cup of coffee, while customers can also buy homemade chocolates for all occasions.

TOP STREETS Southfields Grid’s Edwardian houses have been synonymous with Southfields for generations. The Gardens area of Southfields affords larger houses, some backing on to the private tennis club or the park itself. Combemartin Road and Skeena Hill offer those rare attributes of off-street parking and gardens in excess of 100ft – well above the London average.

RESTAURANTS AND PUBS Plenty of small independent restaurants include Rubino Pizza Bar Caffe and the Olive Garden, both offering Italian cuisine. If you prefer something spicier, there is the award-

winning Namada Indian restaurant on Replingham Road, along with Triphal Indian restaurant and Nilima Tandoori. The Thai Girder, also on Replingham Road, is a much-loved local favourite. The Old Garage is the only pub on the high street and offers an ever changing menu.

LEISURE As well as the leisure amenities at Wimbledon Park, there is also the Nuffield Gym in King George’s Park. On the site of Southfields Academy you will find Aspire, which offers numerous facilities including a swimming pool, climbing wall, badminton and netball courts and soccer pitches, fitness and dance studios, as well as adult and family learning.

SCHOOLS Families have been drawn to Southfields for its excellent schools and Sheringdale and Wimbledon Park primaries have always had a large following. St Michael’s CE School has a large following, while Saint Cecelia’s on Sutherland Grove provides secondary school education in a great setting.

TRANSPORT Southfields tube station is central to the village providing a District Line service into London and onto Wimbledon. Earlsfield overland station for direct services into Waterloo and the A3 is a mile away providing access down to the coast.

marketviewCan’t find that dream house? Then renovate one yourself, suggests Cheryl

Markosky

From a small makeover to the Fully Monty of major rewiring, re-plumbing and redecorating, many buyers are increasingly happy in this fast-moving market to

refurbish a property to create a place of their own.While it can be exciting producing a home with your

own personal touches, it can also become all-consuming, cautions Gemma Whelan from Wooster & Stock.

“Our golden rule when buying a renovation project – or ‘doer-upper’, as we like to call it – is ‘be prepared’! It’s a good idea to bring in building experts, especially on your first couple of viewings. They can highlight any potential hiccups and make the process quicker and easier,” she advises.

Look for extension potential – a property with a large garden with scope to build, for instance – as it can make all the difference.

“If planning permission is a factor, then check in detail what’s been agreed and what hasn’t. You don’t want a nightmare scenario of buying somewhere, only to find your dream extension plans shot down in flames by the local council,” adds Whelan.

James Gold, a chartered building consultant and director of Landmark Lofts, thinks a loft conversion is a highly cost-effective way to significantly increase the rental and resale value of a property by adding one or two extra bedrooms and a bathroom.

“Build costs for a loft conversion in a typical mid-terrace property are around £150 to £180 per square foot. With prices in many London areas topping £1000 per square foot, a loft conversion can be a no-brainer if you want to add value quickly and easily during a modernisation project,” he comments.

“It’s all too easy to think about a home improvement in terms of how it affects your lifestyle,” says Robin Chatwin, head of Savills South West London. “But when selling, you need to have tailored your improvements to what appeals to most buyers.”

Extra square footage used as a bedroom, gym or office can be one of the most profitable improvements you could make.

“Loft conversions are relatively easy and you can go in from above without too much disturbance,” Chatwin concurs.

But before letting the builders loose in the attic, you should check out prices in your neighbourhood to gauge how much an extra bedroom in the loft might add to the selling price to ensure your efforts are worthwhile.

celebritywatchPotential buyers will be racing to Headley Hall in Epsom, Surrey, former home of the legendary world speed record-breaker Sir Malcolm Campbell.

Built in the late 18th century, this eight-bedroom mansion was bought by Campbell at the height of his fame and he owned it for 10 years. The hall is currently divided into two units but is being sold as one for £6 million, giving the new owner the opportunity to restore the property to its former glory.

The current owners have lived here since 1978, adding a stable block and a 30-acre railed paddock. Savills 020 7016 3780.

the wordSpecial report by Marc Wiehe of Winkworth Streatham

Spring is in the air, summer is hopefully not too far around the corner, and Streatham is currently undergoing something of a

transformation with lots of exciting new building projects and improvements taking shape.

We have recently witnessed the opening of the new Streatham Ice and Leisure Centre down by Streatham Common, and the road works on the High Road will hopefully finish soon to reveal a much better, more human- friendly neighbourhood for the influx of new residents to enjoy.

The local property market is also undergoing a transformation. Family houses and freehold properties generally are experiencing almost insatiable levels of demand. We have seen several ‘project’ houses come to market in recent months and attract a lot of interest, often achieving well in excess of the asking prices. It does not seem to matter what condition the property is in: the buyers are plentiful and well resourced.

The market for leasehold flats has taken off in a big way too: average values have increased by about 20 per cent in the last eight months and not just from buy-to-let investors. The main increase is from the Brixton, Balham and Clapham ‘overspill’ consisting mainly of affluent first-time buyers being driven out of their first choice areas by lack of value for money and space, and finding that Streatham is becoming ever more friendly and attractive as countless

new businesses, restaurants and improved local amenities continue to open here.

Our challenge is to keep them informed of the rapid pace of local developments and turn them from being merely transitory to encouraging them to put down roots here. Today’s flat buyers will be tomorrow’s house buyers, particularly as the vast improvement and choice in local schooling continues to expand, not only in terms of capacity but also with excellent Ofsted ratings.

Well-presented properties still command a premium and average prices per square foot are around the £600 mark – expensive locally but still very good value compared to neighbouring Wandsworth and Clapham at £900 to £1000 per square foot. The gap is closing fast.

The perfect storm we warned of last year, with a lack of available properties, the best lending rates for 40 years and government support for first-time buyers being rolled out, is causing problems for property hunters. The lack of new instructions to satisfy the strong demand means there are always several buyers chasing the same property, which inevitably leads to the dreaded ‘full and final offer’ scenario.

Open house viewings have gone from a relative rarity last year to being almost standard practice, putting further pressure on buyers and fuelling a state of panic and worry that fills the column inches of not just the property pages of the newspapers.

The silver lining to all of this is that Streatham has plenty of capacity at all levels, with several large new residential developments approved and in the pipeline. It is proving itself to be adept at changing to meet the needs of existing and new residents.

I am amazed at the large grassroots level of community organisation that is taking place: everything from fun festivals and one-off local events to the opening of a newly refurbished, state-of-the-art library and media centre with space that is family friendly and geared to encouraging local arts.

Participation seems to be the key to ensure that the new neighbourhood continues to gather momentum and be sustainable for the long term.

Revival continues at ‘Best Place’ BalhamThe next stage in Balham’s revival is under way as work begins to improve Hildreth Street and Balham High Road Railway Bridge. The scheme is part of a long-term regeneration effort that has seen Balham named as one of the Sunday Times Best Places to Live in Britain in 2013 and 2014.

Hildreth Street is being opened up by removing street furniture to create a shared surface. The street will be repaved, lighting improved and two new street trees planted. Market stalls will be retained with facilities for additional stalls during special events.

Balham High Road Railway Bridge is being made more welcoming with better lighting, upgraded shop fronts, and the walls are being re-clad in traditional green faience tiling. A new artwork based on Balham’s streetscape will be incorporated in the new bridge design. Next month work will see more improvements on Balham High Road and Bedford Hill Place.

Cllr James Cousins, Wandsworth Council’s Cabinet Member for Economic Development and Business Partnerships, said: “Balham has made an astonishing recovery over the last 15 or so years as new investment and a focus on developing the local economy have taken effect. It shows what can be achieved with a clear vision and the support of the local community.”

Backpacks for MaryChildren of Wandsworth’s 345 Nursery School proudly display their backpacks filled with educational materials for Mary’s Meals charity.

Sponsored by estate agent Sullivan Thomas with Carter Jonas the backpacks filled by parents of the nursery school pupils will go to children of poor families in countries including Malawi, Liberia and Haiti to help give them an education.

Regeneration in NunheadThe first phases of a £1.2m regeneration project are being completed and more improvements are under way in up-and-coming Nunhead.

Using £438,000 from the Mayor of London’s Outer London Fund, £700,000 from Southwark Council, £30,000 from the Mayor’s Pocket Parks initiative, and £80,000 from London Marathon Charitable Trust, the work has focused on improving shop fronts and surrounding environment, encouraging the local economy and running a programme of festivals and events.

France is a great choiceJoanna Leggett, Hamptons International’s French partner, gave a presentation on the buying process in France at the estate agent’s French Property Seminar in Battersea.

“France is undoubtedly a great choice for British buyers. Over the last 12 months prices have fallen by 1.7 per cent, with bigger falls in more rural areas,” said Joanna, a British national who has lived and worked in France for the past 10 years.

Wordon thestreet

James Weston, Manager of John D Wood & Co Wandsworth

Vendors questioning whether they are selling at the right price when it

gets to exchange is nothing new. In a rapidly increasing market, there is an urgency for buyers to exchange contracts before the market moves up too much. Likewise in a falling market, the emphasis is on the vendor to exchange quickly before the buyer finds something cheaper.

Estate agents are obliged, under a common law duty of care, to keep their client informed of any movements in the property market that may affect their sale, and to try to give balanced advice. Ultimately, however, it is always the client’s choice as to whether they want to ask for more money just before exchange, or take what they have agreed for certainty’s sake.

Patrick Rampton, director of Rampton Baseley

Our primary job as estate agents is to get the maximum price for our

clients that we possibly can. The law, and our governing body the NAEA, are quite clear on this, and we can be sued for negligence should we not do so.

Say an agreed sale takes three months to get to exchange, and the market has moved up 10 per cent. If our client asks us to, we have to find that extra 10 per cent in value. Quite often they don’t ask and say: “We’ve done a deal and we have an agreement that I want to honour.” But sometimes they do ask (even if they caused the delay), and so we have to ask the buyer. If the buyer says no, we must go and find someone who will say yes.

The new phenomenon of ‘ghost gazumping’ has been reported in the national press. Does the Government need to do more to protect buyers?

Rebecca sees the potentialSavills Wandsworth Lettings has seen positive price growth over the last five years, with an increase of 18.5 per cent in Wandsworth, Clapham and Battersea recorded by Savills In Numbers research. This was well ahead of prime central London’s price rise of 1.6 per cent in the same period.

Emily Hayward, head of Wandsworth Lettings, said: “Landlords are seeing great potential in Wandsworth, with a £1 billion project to transform the high street already under way. Across London, the forecast for the future is also bright, with a 2.5 per cent increase expected in 2014 swelling to a 20.4 per cent rise by 2018.”

In response to increasing demand, Rebecca Crowther (pictured) joins the Wandsworth team as a lettings negotiator. A trained actress, Rebecca lives locally and has worked in the property industry for the past five years.

Foxtons is opening another five new offices this spring, bringing its total network to 49 offices throughout London and Surrey.

Greenwich, Beckenham, Earls Court, Harrow and Stoke Newington will all open their doors before the end of May. Stoke Newington will mark Foxtons 25th office launch since 2010 and forms part of its ongoing expansion plan.

Open house solutionThe imbalance between the number of buyers and sellers has never been greater, according to Townends estate agents, which reports 12 buyers registering for every one new property that comes to the market.

The severe shortage of new stock is driving prices up. In a recent extreme example, an open house event by Townends in Streatham attracted viewings from more than 70 applicants in just one day. The property sold for £75,000 above asking price.

“At present, open houses are a reaction to the sheer volume of people trying to view particular properties,” said Townends managing director Douglas Sleaper (pictured).

“Organisationally, they are the best way of trying to control and condense a significant amount of viewers, offering an equal chance to everyone. Buyers are not always happy about the feeling of competition and stress this can create. This is why an open house must be carried out professionally within a controlled timeframe and, in my opinion, with individual appointment slots,” he said.

“As agents, we understand buyers’ frustration at the pressure created by lack of choice, particularly if they have been unsuccessful at securing several properties previously. However, in most cases open houses are being used to try to avoid a protracted and potentially messy process, where viewings are carried out over several weeks and potential buyers are left hanging on to see if they are successful.”

Best HomecontenderA team of three property experts on Channel 5’s I

Own Britain’s Best Home invited viewers to tour some of the nation’s most beautiful and inspiring

homes, and to meet the owners who created them.Each week consultant Melissa Porter, developer

Russell Harris and journalist Michael Holmes spent 24 hours in their own favourite property, getting to know both the home and its owner. Michael visited this spectacular three-bedroom apartment above Putney High Street as one of his choices.

Renovated, refurbished and interior designed by owner and entrepreneur Rupert, this gadget paradise on the first, second and third floors features a host of contemporary comforts such as surround sound throughout; air-conditioning in the open plan living area and two bedrooms; underfloor heating in the kitchen, dining room and bathrooms; and sophisticated internal and external lighting.

The first floor kitchen, reception and dining space has concertina doors that open out onto a superb 24ft decked roof terrace with an electronic awning. One of the second floor bedrooms has an en suite shower and steam room, and the top floor master bedroom – where Michael stayed – features an open plan bathroom, steam shower and private balcony.

“My achievement here is an oasis in an urban jungle,” owner Rupert told the programme, first broadcast in 2010. “There are a lot of different gadgets – lighting, fabrics, beautiful woods, steam room, surround sound. You’ve pretty much got everything here that you could possibly have,” he said.

“This is a flat but it genuinely feels like a house with the amount of space you’ve got. I’ve spent a lot of time and energy putting it together. It’s not great, it’s awesome.”

Minimalist makeoverIn the last decade, this art deco-style semi off

Wandsworth Common has been significantly rebuilt and transformed into a superb contemporary home in

a clean minimalist layout and design.The extensive redevelopment programme involved new

Crittall windows, new doors, re-plastering throughout, services from the street, all new internal systems, and a home entertainment system featuring nine independent music zones, two surround sound TV areas and three Sky TV zones.

On the ground floor, the combined living and dining areas have three sets of 11-panel, folding and sliding doors that open out into an impressive rear garden – designed by Isobel Van Lennep – including a hardwood deck area, raised art deco-style planters, and a Portland stone patio.

A staircase of oak and glass leads down to the basement containing a huge open plan room with second multimedia hub and surround sound cinema settings. Folding and sliding partitions at one end can create a sixth bedroom – for au pair or guests– with independent entrance. This level also has a second back-up kitchen, spa bathroom with steam cabin, and a deep-soaking Japanese hydrotherapy bath.

The first and second floors are connected by a winding staircase with glass balustrades in a double-height space that floods the house with natural light. The staircase is attached to a bridge linking the top floor living space.

Security, alarm and fire detection systems were installed as part of the development programme, and the property has an integral garage plus off-street parking for one car in front. Once featured on the cover of the Evening Standard property supplement, the house in tree-lined Granard Road is 200 metres from Wandsworth Common station.

Golden TriangleA highly finished renovation is boosting the Nightingale Triangle, says Cheryl Markosky

Once inside this totally refurbished terraced house close to Wandsworth Common and Bellevue Road, you’d be forgiven for thinking you were

actually north of the river in Chelsea.So high is the finish on the recently renovated house

in Birchlands Avenue, previously ignored for 60 years, local agents believe it’s setting new standards for what you can achieve in terms of quality now south of the Thames.

Discovered by Nikki LaPersonne and her property search agent husband Andy (www.crownmayfair.net), the unloved house was stuck on the market for six months. “It was advertised at quite a high price for where it was located, although the area’s certainly risen since,” explains Nikki.

The other deterrent to buyers was the property’s condition, but Nikki and Andy were undaunted. “We took everything out from floor to ceiling. It was literally just a shell on the inside.”

Original features were painstakingly removed and saved, however. They were made good and then reinstalled. According to Nikki: “We put back the original

staircase, cornices, skirting boards and doors. We even re-dipped door handles and screwed them back onto doors.”

As well as converting the loft into a bedroom and bathroom zone, the LaPersonnes also opened up the ground floor, creating a completely open-plan kitchen/dining/reception room space leading onto the garden.

A family-friendly configuration has placed three bedrooms and a large family bathroom on the first floor, while a large bedroom suite lies above in the loft conversion.

Nikki says she learned a great deal from her loft conversion. “It’s an open-plan space. To be honest, if I could do it again, I’d break it up a bit more into a bedroom, bathroom and dressing room or study. It’s our bedroom, but it doesn’t make life easy with our five-year-old son, Cosmo, on the level below.”

Yet, Nikki’s pleased with the overall results in the house dating back to the late Twenties or early Thirties, as her forte up to now has been redeveloping period homes. “This is very different from a Victorian property.”

What advice would she pass on to others keen to

renovate a south London home? “Walk around the space and really measure everything. Design for how you live and what suits you,” she suggests.

Selling agent Patrick Rampton from Rampton Baseley praises the high level of finish on the LaPersonnes’ house: “It’s stylish, but not too challenging.” He declares you wouldn’t have seen this upper-end finish a few years ago, but it’s all changing in Wandsworth.

A huge plus is the kitchens and bathrooms (“You can’t spend too much on them, in my opinion,” Rampton notes), and the well-landscaped garden.

Unsurprisingly, a young European couple wanting to start a family has already made an offer on Birchlands Avenue. And where have they come from? “Chelsea. It’s too expensive there now so they’re moving south to get something bigger,” says Rampton.

Do you really think that all estate agents are the same?Well actually you are probably right, more or less. Even though some big estate agent chains insist that they are more caring, or more passionate or more local!

At Sheraton Law we get great results, and have done so for over the 30 years that we have been dealing with properties around Clapham, Battersea, Balham and Brixton.

We really do believe in courtesy and integrity coupled with a tailored personal service; so why not choose a truly local agent who is caring and passionate about what they do but doesn’t have an expensive commission fuelled corporate culture.

New homes updateSpecial report by Robin Chatwin, head of Savills South West London

Wandsworth performed exceptionally well in 2013, with prices across

the borough rising by a fantastic 19.3 per cent. The area’s five-year

growth is even more impressive, with an increase of 87.3 per cent since 2008.

With such outstanding results it is no surprise that developers have become increasingly interested in the area, and there is plenty in the pipeline for the years ahead.

The redevelopment of Wandsworth High Street and the Ram Brewery is a major draw, with £1 billion of investment creating 661 new homes, as well as around 100,000 sq ft of space dedicated to new shops, cafes, bars and restaurants.

The impressive redevelopment of Nine Elms including Battersea Power Station, the relocation of the American Embassy and Embassy Gardens has already boosted interest in the area, raising its profile as a place for outstanding investment opportunity.

Our latest new development on the market is set in a former police station redeveloped to provide two stunning, contemporary townhouses, one duplex and six luxurious flats. Both family houses have four bedrooms and feature large gardens with off-street parking space, while all the flats have two double bedrooms and access to communal gardens.

Careful redevelopment has given the project strong eco credentials and it is finished to a high specification using responsibly sourced materials, energy efficient light fittings and a secure covered cycle storage.

The development on the corner of Trinity Crescent and Trinity Road is close to the shops, restaurants and wine bars on popular Bellevue Road and Balham High Street, as well as the open green spaces of both Tooting and Wandsworth Commons. The area is renowned for its many good schools, and transport is excellent from either Tooting Bec underground station or Balham mainline and underground station, both on the Northern Line.

Wandsworth is still a British favourite, with over 80 per cent of buyers in the area from the UK. Despite the area’s impressive price growth, you can still get more for your money than in prime central London, with 64 per cent of buyers upsizing in the area. Families in particular have remained partial to the area thanks to the outstanding selection of local schools, while young professionals are attracted to a greater selection of core market properties and convenient transport links into the West End and the City.

Live-in spaceA rise in the numbers of parents aspiring to tackle

their work-life balance conundrum by taking on live-in help has created greater demand for

homes designed to accommodate an au pair, nanny or housekeeper.

New homes specifically designed to create living accommodation suitable for live-in assistance away from the main family space offer an attractive solution.

Ben Annetts, sales and marketing director for Berkeley Homes (Southern), says a large open plan kitchen and family room is now a pre-requisite for modern day living. “It offers the perfect environment for entertaining friends, keeping an eye on the cooking or watching the children, and provides a central hub for family life,” he says.

Recent Berkeley developments in Cobham, Surrey and Wimbledon Village are ideal for buyers with young families. “Rather than a media and cinema room, we believe that for families with young children there is a greater need for a dedicated space to accommodate childcare or home help away from the main family living space. As such, every property has been designed with

a room and en suite – on the top floor or basement – to meet this requirement,” said Annetts.

Clive Moon, director at Savills Wimbledon, said: “The majority of families in Wimbledon Village now have a live-in housekeeper, au pair or nanny to assist with daily household chores or to provide childcare support. Developers now recognise this is a key requirement for new family house designs, particularly in key commuter London suburbs.”

Most of these Victorian-style family homes extend over five floors offering 2058 to 3801 sq ft of space. Each has four or five large bedrooms plus flexible living areas with high specifications from designer kitchens by Wooden Heart of Weybridge to Villeroy & Boch bathroom suites.

They also have private walled courtyard gardens, and secure underground car parking accessed via a state-of-the-art car lift.

Pension pot opportunity

Budget changes will release cashfor homes, says Duncan Farmer

The Budget in March may seem a distant

memory, but its effects will be felt for decades to come,

and its impact on the property market is difficult to underestimate.

The changes to Individual Savings Accounts (ISAs) will make it easier for young people to save for a deposit on their first home, but of greater significance was George Osborne’s decision to free up billions of pounds in private pensions.

Until now, people aged 55 or over were restricted in how they could use money they had saved in pension funds, and were forced to used most of it to buy an annuity that paid an income until they died.

The problem is that annuity rates are low and Osborne, agreeing with millions of savers that it was their money and that they should be allowed to spend as they wished, decided that they could take it all as cash, and at far lower rates of tax than the previously punitive 55 per cent.

Some may decide, as has been suggested in the Press, to blow the lot on a Lamborghini, but I believe that most will use the money as it was originally intended – to provide an income in their old age. And what better way to earn that income than from property?

Not only will a buy-to-let house produce

a regular income of about four per cent of its value – far more than the average 55-year-old would get from an annuity – but the option would remain, at any point of the owner’s choosing, to sell it and use the capital as they wished.

Statistics suggest that the average sum held in a pension pot is just £25,000, which is nowhere near enough to buy a new Lamborghini but would go a long way towards a deposit on a property, even in London, and anyone with a much larger pension fund could buy outright.

Of course, the beauty of borrowing on a mortgage is that buyers would benefit from an increase in the total value of the home, not simply their stake in it. That gives it an advantage as an asset class over unit trusts or cash savings, which are other options for new pensioners with a lump sum.

The buy-to-let mortgage market, which was hit hard by the effects of the credit crunch, is now buoyant, competitive and easily accessible. The demand from tenants across the country, but especially in London, is also sky high.

Pension changes offer another benefit to property buyers: older retirees would be able to use the new-found freedom to release cash in their pension fund and give or lend it to their children as a deposit on their first home. That in turn would drive the bottom end of the market, thus adding stability.

April 26th sees tough new rules come into effect (Mortgage Market Review), designed to ensure borrowers do not take out mortgages they cannot

afford. As well as verifying every customer’s income, lenders are preparing to be more intrusive to ascertain potential borrowers spending habits and ultimately mortgage affordability. In addition, they will apply more rigorous “stress tests” to ensure borrowers won’t default when interest rates rise.

This will not just affect first time buyers, but also those remortgaging or moving home and transferring a loan to a new property. Questions around personal spending may not allow for borrowers to make changes to their habits once they secure a mortgage. Instead, borrowers must alter their spending habits before applying for a mortgage. Anyone planning to take out a mortgage should start preparing at least three to six months in advance by limiting spending on luxury items and holidays and paying off credit card debts. Borrowers planning to have children in the near future, should consider securing a mortgage first, as costs such as loss of income and childcare may be assessed by lenders.

While many of the MMR recommendations have already been adopted by lenders, its formal introduction could well slow the market down for a couple of months as all the detail is implemented.

High loans demand

The surge in demand for home loans might have slowed slightly in February, but figures suggest that it is up year-on-year by 43 per

cent, suggesting that lenders’ appetite for business and borrowers’ demand for a new home is continuing unabated.

The Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML) estimates that total gross mortgage lending was £15.2 billion in February. This is 6 per cent lower than January’s figure of £16.1 billion, but 43 per cent higher than the £10.6 billion lent in February last year, and the highest total for a February since 2008.

CML chief economist Bob Pannell said: “Housing market indicators have continued to be strong over recent months, once seasonal factors have been taken into account. First-time buyers have benefited most from the government’s Help to Buy initiatives, with the more recent mortgage guarantee scheme now starting to push typical loan-to-value levels higher.”

STRICTER RULESFrom this month, mortgage applicants may find it harder to get a loan now that measures set out in the European Mortgage Directive have come into force.

The rules particularly aim to ensure that borrowers can afford to meet their monthly repayments. No longer will income be the sole factor in deciding how much a homebuyer can borrow, but how much they can afford will be a key criterion.

Brokers will carry out a thorough investigation into an applicant’s financial affairs, looking at what goes out of their bank account each month in as much detail what goes in.

Royal WardrobeDating from the late fifteenth century, The Wardrobe in Richmond is virtually all that remains of Henry VII’s once magnificent Tudor palace, a favourite residence of Queen Elizabeth I.

The Virgin Queen kept her clothes at The Wardrobe and it’s said that 2000 of her dresses were found in large chests in the roof alone. Sir Christopher Wren renovated the property in the reign of Queen Anne, and in 1957 it was divided into three buildings and converted by the Crown Estate.

Private parking at the front of this historic house is exclusive to the residents of Old Palace Yard, and at the rear is a superb and well-established south-east-facing garden, 105ft long.

Set between Richmond Green and a scenic stretch of the Thames, the Grade I listed property now on the market has more than 4000 sq ft of inside space

including a magnificent panelled reception hall, drawing room and dining room. There are three bedrooms plus planning consent for two or three more and a third bathroom.

North Side storeys by the CommonOn North Side, at the top of Wandsworth Common, a three-bedroom Victorian detached house has all the original features you could hope for, from high ceilings and fireplaces to picture rails and sash windows.

Said to have been ‘well cared for’ over the years by the current owners, the property has off-street parking at the front and at the rear a 90ft paved and lawned garden bordered by mature trees and shrubs.

There are two receptions: a formal front sitting room with an ornate fireplace and plenty of natural light, and a large full-width dining room at the rear with double French windows out into the garden.

In the centre of the house is a kitchen and breakfast room containing a woodblock worktop, butler sink and space for a double range cooker. The property also has a generous basement and a large loft, both of which could be converted to provide extra living space.

The family bathroom has a fireplace and a freestanding roll-top bath, and one of the bedrooms has an en suite shower and a dressing room.

As seen by Jonathan Dyson, sales manager of Hamptons Battersea and Wandsworth

southside

I don’t know what it is that makes us Brits head for the parks at the first rays of sunshine, but every year it’s the same. Unfortunately, in my family’s

desperate rush to transport the entire contents of the Waitrose deli counter to Wandsworth Common, our youngest went head over heals on her scooter, so I’m writing this in the Children’s Emergency Department at St George’s waiting to have her arm plastered.

Yesterday was the warmest day of the year and today the first wafts of BBQs drifted down the street. This morning I thought I would beat the crowds to B&Q, but even though I got there early, there must have been at least 40 people queuing at the doors. The same was true at the garden centre that I passed on the way here - cars literally queuing down the road to get in.

We see the same thing in the property market: very little stock coming to the market for the last six months and suddenly this week it’s like someone turned on the supply tap. Each year used to see a pretty even spread of flats coming to the market, with an influx of houses coming on in the spring and autumn. Over the last few years, however, it has become more and more polarised around the spring.

Demand is pretty constant whatever the season (apart from December), but in the next three months we will take on about 60 per cent of the properties we will sell this year. This increased supply normally leads to a more balanced market and estate agents working every hour to marry up buyers with homes.

So the next time the sun comes out and you’re heading to the park, spare a thought for your local estate agents. As you sit outside the pub watching condensation form on your first pint of spring, we’ll be sitting patiently outside another ‘beautifully presented’ home hoping the sun will still be out when we’re finished for the day.

BATTERSEA BRIDGEBATTERSEA BRIDGE ROAD

Battersea Bridge is one of three road bridges, connecting Battersea and Wandsworth with Chelsea.Designed by Sir Joseph Bazalgette it was opened in 1890, replacing the wooden structure,

celebrated in the paintings of Cotman, Grimshaw, Whistler and Greaves.

The present bridge was recently restored to its original green, with the spandrels decorated in gilding.

Soon after its construction, Battersea Bridge carried horse-drawn then electric trams.Now, two stops on from Falcon Wharf, it is where the 170 crosses the Thames.

to the 1850s in the Victorian era, in the Kent village of Chislehurst.

Set back from residential Lubbock Road, the property combines original Victorian features and character with contemporary interior design in a superb blend of light, space and elegance.

On the ground floor, the focal point of the formal drawing room is an ornamental marble fireplace with Victorian cast iron insert around an open fire.

country vibeSophie Wysock-Wright, director of Savills Haywards Heath, takes South on a guided tour of Newick in East SussexATTRACTIONS Newick is a picturesque East Sussex village believed to pre-date the 11th century, and St Mary’s Church wall contains part of the 11th century church. The village is halfway between Winchester and Canterbury and both these cathedral cities feature on the Village Green signpost.

Newick was a typical rural community including a tannery, two breweries, tailor and jam factory. Most of the older houses in the village are built of locally made Sussex brick. Famous villagers include members of the Baden-Powell family of scouting fame and film actor Sir Dirk Bogarde, who once trod the boards at Newick. Newick was also noted for high quality ladies gloves produced locally.

SHOPS AND SERVICES Newick has a thriving village community and an excellent selection of independent shops including a pharmacy, butcher, bakery, and post office. There is also a health centre and several pubs.

TOP RESIDENTIAL STREETS The roads around the village green have a number of beautiful period properties. The Green, Church Road, Harmer’s Hill, Newick Hill and Jackie’s Lane are desirable, and there are many beautiful properties tucked away in the surrounding rural lanes.

RESTAURANTS AND PUBS The village is home to three pubs. The Crown Inn, an old coaching inn on the village green, is a friendly, independent, family run, traditional pub. The long-established Royal Oak serves delicious food and drink in a traditional English pub setting. The Bull on the Green is a pub, restaurant and bed and breakfast offering great food, quality drinks and comfortable accommodation. Also in the village is the long established Newick Tandoori offering Indian and Bangladeshi food.

LEISURE Many local activities are organised including the well regarded Newick Amateur Dramatics Society (NADS) based in the Village Hall. The first record of a cricket match in Newick was in May 1722,

and Newick Cricket Club was founded in 1884. Other sports include football, bowls, tennis and rugby. There is an active WI, brownies and guides, and a horticultural society. Newick also holds an annual Bonfire Night celebration on the Saturday before the Lewes event. Many local bonfire societies join the procession.

SCHOOLS Newick C of E Primary school was rated ‘outstanding’ by Ofsted (July 2011). Highly regarded preparatory schools in the area include Cumnor House and Great Walstead. Chailey Secondary School is rated ‘good’ and there’s a good choice of independent secondary schools including Burgess Hill School for Girls, Lewes Old Grammar School, Ardingly College and Hurstpierpoint College.

TRANSPORT There are mainline rail services from Haywards Heath, six-and-a-half miles from the village, providing a fast and frequent commuter train service to London Bridge and London Victoria, with journey times from 42 minutes. The A272, which runs through Newick, links with the A22 to the east and the A23/M23 to the west providing access to the M25 and Gatwick Airport.

country view

The rise in the popularity of Kent towns continues,

reports Dominick Brown, director of Savills SevenoaksThe past few months have been extraordinary for the Residential Sales team at Savills Sevenoaks. After the initial cooling of the market at the start of the year, there has been a resurgence in activity that has led to a wealth of new and active applicants who are ready, willing and – most importantly – able to buy.

The gap between house prices in London and the rest of the UK has never been bigger. Recently Savills research noted a growing trend of London buyers relocating to the prime regions and choosing urban locations over their rural counterparts.

Sevenoaks is one of the more popular towns in this area of Kent, and demand from London buyers for properties in the town compared to more rural surrounding villages is soaring. This is due to a number of factors, from the good-sized family houses to the excellent schools and transport links.

Sevenoaks offers a wide variety of properties from large detached family homes set in wonderful gardens to contemporary developments. Properties priced between £500,000 and £1.5 million are in most demand. Many of our buyers are looking for more space and better value for money than is on offer in London, and as a result we are seeing properties frequently achieve multiple offers and achieving or exceeding the guide price.

Picturesque villages in the surrounding areas of Sevenoaks have maintained a steady popularity and that market too is now starting to see an increase in demand from both local and London buyers who are looking for good quality country properties.

Why use a buying agent?

Rupert Coles, Prime Purchase director for Kent and Sussex, has advice for anyone looking for urban living in the countryIn a growing trend, Londoners

are relocating to prime regions and choosing urban locations over more rural surroundings, according to research by our parent company Savills.

House price growth in the regions has not kept pace with London – in fact, the gap between prices in the capital and the rest of the country has never been bigger – so there is real value in moving to rural destinations. As more Londoners move out, this preference for urban living is set to continue.

Sevenoaks in Kent is just one example of a ‘Little London’ destination where you can still enjoy many of the benefits of London living, but with a touch of the countryside close at hand.

Prime Purchase is a leading property buying agency, working purely on behalf of the property buyer. Regardless of whether the market is competitive or not, there are a number of reasons why you might want to use a buying agent for your move to the country.

Understanding your search brief: we spend a lot of time with each client to refine property requirements and search area.

Knowledge of the whole area: best schools, stations, villages, roads and cultural offerings.

Access to selling agent’s books: we have great contacts with every selling agent in the vicinity so you don’t have to sign up with any.

Use of our contacts: find out about properties not yet on the open market for access before everyone else.

Advice and due diligence: before any offer we carry out a full due diligence of a property and its surroundings so there are no horrible surprises.

Negotiation: a buying agent will negotiate the best possible price using market knowledge to gauge correct value. Prime Purchase also monitors the sale through to exchange and beyond to ensure a smooth path to completion.

THE WINKWORTHVIEWPOINT...Tessa ArmelinBusiness Development Manager

Opening two offices consecutively at the end of a very flat market was always going to be a challenge but as someone wisely said to me, ‘See this as a marathon, rather than as a sprint’.

Our Weybridge and Cobham offices are surrounded by other Estate Agents seemingly offering very similar services. Winkworth like to think that ‘We do things differently’ and we are often asked ‘what it is that we think makes us different? My answer is that we look to build lasting relationships with all of our clients, many of whom still like to pop in for coffee and a chat long after we have sold or let their properties. Testament to this, I had a vendor call the other day who gave us the ultimate compliment, “You are just not like other Estate Agents”.

My role is to trawl and analyse the marketplace daily, speak to clients, prospective clients, developers and former clients, develop lasting relationships within the local community and most importantly, nag our Sales team...! There are also our extensive and innovative advertising and marketing campaigns and a level of exposure that only an Agent with almost 100 UK offices, a Country House Department and a China Desk can offer. All of this helps us to structure the best and most appropriate sales strategy for every property and each client.

It seems that the ‘marathon’ approach is paying off and we are winning over local confidence. The proof being that we have won some incredible instructions and obtained some impressive prices, often above the asking price.

surreysceneThe Budget in March was a huge missed opportunity to help homebuyers, says Guy Leaning, branch partner of Chewton Rose Cobham

Failing to reform stamp duty is a massive missed opportunity to get more homes onto the market to meet demand and help hard-pressed buyers.

The Government’s Help to Buy scheme has helped to restore confidence and its part extension from 2016 to 2020 is good. But leaving the

threshold at which buyers have to pay stamp duty at £125,000 is miserly in the face of rising prices.

Stamp duty is punishing to buyers, especially when a house moves into a higher tax band, which is applied to the whole price. Unsurprisingly, many sellers feel forced to undervalue such properties in order to find buyers. The Chancellor should have softened the blow.

For example, when a £250,000 home is bought, stamp duty is 1 per cent or £2500. If the house price is £250,001 the rate is 3 per cent or £7500.

Chewton Rose, part of the UK’s largest independent estate agency, has proposed that each seller should be able to deduct the value of stamp duty paid by their buyer from the stamp duty they pay on their next home.

Such a stamp duty credit would make it easier for young families to move up, freeing up houses for first-time buyers. It would also provide an incentive for older homeowners to downsize (incurring no tax), improving the supply of larger family houses.

While the Treasury would lose a proportion of the £6.9 billion it raises in stamp duty, this would be partially recouped by a rise in the number of transactions, increasing the VAT collected from increased purchases of white goods, fixtures and fittings and professional services.

Secluded manorPachesham Manor and its acre of grounds are set in a secluded Surrey location in exclusive Pachesham Park, between Leatherhead and Oxshott.

Owner Tina Dormer and her family enjoy spectacular south-facing views looking out across their mature gardens. “This would once have been the manor house for the area and would have owned all the land around it,” she said.

“In many ways the house itself is as it always was, and although it has been updated, it still has original features and character.”

The detached six-bedroom Edwardian property offers almost 5875 sq ft of inside space on two floors, including an integral double garage. It has three receptions, four bathrooms, a large kitchen and breakfast room, and a study.

“I am only moving now because I need to downsize,” said Tina. “Living here has been a great experience and I will miss everything about it when I leave.”

Special report by Adam Ball, lettings manager of John D wood & Co in Clapham

The upward trend in the market continued throughout the first quarter of 2014, with

three main correlations proving the most noticeable in Clapham and Balham. Firstly, and of no great

surprise, the area continues to draw young professionals: 80 per cent of John D Wood & Co’s tenants during this period have been aged between 21 and 35.

This age group dominates the mass market of one to three-bedroom flats and there is a continued shortage of good quality rental properties in the most popular areas – Clapham Old Town, Nightingale Triangle and Abbeville Village. This often leads to those originally looking in Clapham and Balham being forced to move further away to find a property that matches both their requirements and, increasingly, their expectations.

The standard reaction to being priced out of the first choice search area was to follow the Northern Line further out to Tooting Bec or Tooting Broadway. However, this year more tenants are opting to live near railway stations.

From our office on Balham Hill, we let properties to our west serviced by Wandsworth Common and Wandsworth Town station, or to the south by Streatham Common and Streatham Hill stations – areas inundated with tenants we would usually view as the Clapham and Balham faithful. People are attracted by larger properties for lower rents, and better value for money, while still retaining a direct link to the City (Waterloo and London

Bridge) or central London via Victoria. Another change I have seen this year is in the family

home rental market, which is generally busiest in the school summer holidays with little else happening prior. Easter was unusually late this year and families saw this as a viable moving window as an alternative to waiting until July. This was good news for landlords with larger properties becoming available who generally prefer to let to family tenants rather than young professionals.

Properties in new-build developments are also noticeably in higher demand. Seven out of the last 10 let properties we have been marketing were new or recently developed apartments and houses. There is a strong grouping of developments surrounding Clapham South with Ipsus, Gateway House, The Latitude, Hillgate Place and Qube Court all within a few hundred metres of the tube station, Clapham Common and the shops here on Balham Hill.

Of those seven let properties, all were occupied by young professionals, some from overseas via relocation agents but all new to the are, proving Clapham and Balham continue to be locations of choice for young professionals moving to London, both nationally and internationally.

VAULTED SPACEThe fascinating reception space with impressive vaulted ceiling at a recently renovated top floor flat in Wandsworth leads out onto a large decked roof terrace.

With two double bedrooms, the property at North Side Wandsworth Common features a large and modern kitchen, master bedroom with en suite bathroom, second bedroom and shower room. It also comes with one off-street parking space.

4 bedroom house for sale London’s Estate Agent

his excellent four bedroom house is presented in outstanding condition and offers a wealth of contemporary features. Elegantly arranged over four floors, the property also boasts a superb

Elegantly arranged

open-plan kitchen/diner with integrated appliances, stylish bathroom which is flooded with natural light, a fantastic patio garden and off-street parking. The green open spaces of Putney Heath are just moments away, while the shops and supermarkets of Roehampton are right on the doorstep. (C=D56,P=D56)

Tell us how you joined the property industry and briefly describe your career history to date.I moved to London straight after university, aware of the unique property market that our capital had to offer and knowing I wanted to be a part of it. I joined Foxtons in 2003, helping to set up the Balham office, and then moved over to our Putney office, where I have now been for the last nine years so I think it’s safe to say I know and love the area pretty well.

What do you enjoy most about working in this market, and what have been your highlights so far?Meeting clients for the first time, understanding their requirements and successfully facilitating their move from start to finish is highly satisfying. I have always enjoyed working with people, and a recent high point for me personally was selling a garden flat for a client, and then subsequently selling their two friends’ properties having had their recommendation.

In your view, how does the South London market differ from other areas of London?I think South London is still relatively good value given its close proximity to central London and the prices being achieved there. Prices are on the rise, though, being pushed up by strong demand versus supply, and with huge developments like Battersea Power Station and the American Embassy, South London is firmly on the global map. Overseas investors are no longer seeing Knightsbridge, Chelsea and Belgravia as the only places to invest in and we are certainly experiencing this in Putney.

Describe the biggest challenges you face on a day-to-day basis.Dealing with viewings, valuations, solicitors, surveyors, employees, buyers and clients always brings up

something different. There is a huge amount of plate-spinning involved in this role, but it is this variation that makes my job so enjoyable.

What advice would you give to anyone considering a career in estate agency?It is a fantastic and exciting industry to work in. If you have a genuine passion for property, understand that communication and service is key, enjoy working with people and are willing to work incredibly hard, then you will have a very successful career.

How difficult is the current market for homebuyers, and what advice do you give them?Keep in touch with your agents. There are so many buyers right now competing for so little stock that often it is the most vocal and active buyer who will find out first when a new listing comes on. Also don’t forget this simple word – ‘proceedable’. If you have your finances in place and a solicitor ready, this will make you a more attractive proposition for a seller.

Where, in your view, is the best place to live south of the river and why?It has to be Putney! Beautiful residential roads, great boutique shops and restaurants, green open spaces all around, right on the river and only 10 minutes from the King’s Road. What more could you ask for?

If you were not an estate agent, what career would you choose and why?Professional cricketer, although I would need a bit more time in the nets. England need all the help they can get at the moment.
