ASKTHEEXPERTWhy is the rental market increasingly busy over the summer

months?

Anna Czaban, lettings manager at Knight Frank Clapham, replies ...

The lettings market tends to be seasonal and the summer has historically

always been the busiest. Whilst families are looking for new houses throughout the year, the majority of households tend to move between May and September in time to settle in before the new school term.

Families being relocated from overseas often want to secure their new homes in advance to ensure they leave sufficient time to secure places in their desired schools. The market for smaller apartments is usually booming in August and September.

Our Residential Corporate Services have already noticed an uplift in junior executives being relocated to London, and while the City is busy hiring new graduates they will all require accommodation in London. They typically want one and two-bedroom apartments finished to a high standard, with easy access to a tube or train station.

In addition to applicants who are relocating, there will be tenancies coming to an end and tenants who are looking for a change will start searching again. Properties present better and moving is generally easier when the weather is better, which often encourages tenants to move from their current property and find new accommodation.

Last year our new applicant registration peaked in September. So far this year, our agreed tenancies have been steadily increasing month on month and we are predicting that this trend will continue throughout the summer.

MARKETVIEWAre tenants doomed to rent rises and will buy-to-let landlords sell up? Jenny Knight looks at the Budget implications.

George Osborne set out to make life easier for homeowners and harder for buy-to-let landlords in a Budget that will slash the tax relief landlords receive on mortgage interest payments.

According to Grainne Gilmore, head of UK Residential Research at Knight Frank: “Those planning to purchase a buy-to-let property will have to factor these new rules into their calculations, and this could affect the offers they are willing to make. If the relatively low yield environment seen today, especially in the South of England, is still evident when these changes start to come into force, there could be upward pressure on rents.”

The chancellor also removed the ‘wear and tear allowance’, that from April next year will be replaced by a system that allows tax relief only on specific items. But as a boost to private householders with a spare room, he raised the amount of tax-free rent earnings to £7500 a year.

Research by PwC shows that when interest rates rise – probably next year – buy-to-let landlords will start to make a loss. That sounds worrying. Will higher rents and fewer properties to rent be on the cards? In some places maybe, but not locally, according to south London agents.

Clare Hampson, head of lettings at Savills Battersea Park, says: “We get more and more buy-to-let investors in south west London. Nothing deters them – they only increase. Rents may not have increased by a huge amount but house prices have risen so much that they look to capital growth. We also see many foreigners buying in London. Today a British man who lives in Singapore said he was worried he would not be able to afford to buy in London when he returns, so he is looking for a buy-to-let. People are being sensible and putting money into property: a buy-to-let may later be a home for their children.“

Charles Weller of Palace Gate Lettings says: “The tax relief reduction is a gradual thing, so it will not have an immediate impact. In London investors look for capital growth and London is a good solid long-term investment.

“The change in tax relief on wear and tear may tip the balance between furnished and unfurnished, which is about 50/50 now. Landlords will still get the benefit of tax relief when they replace something, instead of a regular allowance.”

With its Tudor origins and 19th Century fine features, you might think that was more than enough colourful background for any one

beautiful Grade II listed house. But Fisher Lane Farm comes overlaid with some decades of rock history, too.

It was home to the recording studio Genesis used from the late 70s and into the 90s. Other music greats such as

George Harrison and Eric Clapton visited to use The Farm, as the studio was known.

The main house has seven bedrooms and five bathrooms. Also set in the 16 acres of stunning Surrey countryside at Chiddingfold

are a two-bedroom cottage, two barns, a tennis court, tree house, and a stream running through

woodland. £2.75m through Knight Frank 01428 770560.

DT Market View DPS.indd 1 06/08/2015 15:17

The property market’s annual fluctuations always keep us busy in different sectors of the market and this summer is no different, with a quieter family house market and a very active new homes one.

Many families leave London for their holidays and resume their search to buy in the autumn. Some started looking before their break to establish a better idea of exactly what they are looking for, and what they can and cannot compromise on, so when they renew their search it can be succinct and avoid wasting time.

Buyers that have remained in London and are looking now are particularly focused, so we have been having plenty of constructive viewings and getting to know our buyers well, to help find them the perfect property. Whilst there is a common myth that vendors choose not to market their properties over the summer, it is always worth getting in touch with us to find out about those properties that are not online, as there are some absolute gems available.

Despite the traditionally quieter market, we have had some really great success stories. We have just sold an absolutely fantastic un-modernised house on St Simon’s Avenue, which generated a serious amount of interest, and have also agreed the sale of a fabulous semi-detached house in Howards Lane after best bids.

Developers and owner-occupiers alike generally love un-modernised properties, giving them the opportunity to put their own stamp on the building without paying a premium for someone else’s tastes. If not genuinely un-modernised, buyers tend to look for houses or flats of a very high standard, so we always advise vendors who have a tired property to spruce it up before launching it to the market. Whether a larger job, such as replacing a 1970s ‘avocado’ bathroom suite, or a lick of paint and new carpets, such efforts can often increase the property’s appeal and it is well worth asking our advice about what buyers will look for.

The new homes market in Putney has been incredibly active, and we have now sold over 60 per cent of the units at Oakhill Park, a fantastic development of 52 apartments in the heart of Putney. The scheme is surrounded by landscaped gardens and situated in a quiet leafy road, a short walk from East Putney underground station, with facilities including underground parking, a concierge and a gym for residents. Launching in September is Westmead, a scheme of nine stunning houses next to Putney Heath. They offer very high specification and contemporary interiors, and will make fantastic family homes.

Summer in Putney always provides plenty to look forward to. Bordering the Thames, the atmosphere is wonderful when the sun shines and the pubs along the river are particularly popular. Saturday 12 September is Totally Thames Putney Funday, where Savills will be hosting a gazebo and joining in with the revelry. It’ll be a fantastic day with activities along the Embankment and in Church Square – music and street food, arts and crafts stalls – coinciding with the Great River Race, when 320 boats dressed up in silly attire will row through Putney. It will be the perfect way to round off a busy Putney summer: do pop by and see us.

Where? Balham.

What’s it like? It’s a great experience every single time I go. The restaurant is cosy and has a rustic feel to it with exposed brickwork. The ‘pizzaiolo’ is lovely and the waitresses are really friendly and polite.

And the food? If you are looking to eat a truly magical pizza then this is the place to go. As a good Italian, I like my pizza thin and crispy topped with genuine mozzarella. Besides the pizzas, you have a great selection of starters and mains that are just as tasty. You will be spoilt for choice and find yourself going there time after time.

ROOTINGIN TOOTING

HIP & BUZZING – YOU’RE DARN TOOTIN’. JENNY KNIGHT GETS THE VIBE

Super-cool Tooting has overthrown Shoreditch as the capital’s hippest district. With restaurants, cafes, bars, a burgeoning arts scene plus an edgy atmosphere, SW17 is the place to hang out.

While once-gritty Balham has reinvented itself as a haven of family-friendly, bourgeois respectability, its neighbour is now the king of cool, the place where hipsters go for a night out, to dine, dance or drink.

Better still it’s not just an after-dark venue. For daytime fun there’s the common, the market and Tooting Bec Lido – the wonderful art deco swimming pool that is Europe’s largest open-air freshwater pool.

No wonder it’s the place where the young and trendy want to live, and luckily parts of the area are still comparatively affordable.

Noel Lawrence, sales manager at Kinleigh, Folkard & Hayward’s Tooting office, says: “At the moment there are two South London hotspots: Brixton and Tooting. Prices have got ridiculous in Clapham with people paying £800,000 for a two-bed flat. Prices have rocketed and salaries have not done the same. With Balham, Clapham and Putney so expensive, people are looking in Tooting and liking what they find.

“Prices here are very competitive for the south-west of London. At first people came for the prices, but then their friends followed and still others are drawn to the area for what it offers. There are restaurants, bars and delis opening to cater for the new demographics. The big attraction is that if you walk down the High Street, there are still empty shops so there is scope for growth and development.

“Any thinking person would now buy in Tooting. Sandwiched between two expensive areas – Balham and Earlsfield – it is drawing people in. The buyers are mostly in their thirties and forties, either thinking of starting a family or already with a young family and looking for more space. Typically our buyers are working in the City and looking for a two-bedroom maisonette from £500,000 to £600,000 or a three-bedroom house from £700,000 to £1 million.”

“Heavers above we are not in Tooting,”

or that’s the claim of house owners in one of south London’s most architecturally splendid areas.

For the record, the Heaver Estate is in Tooting, according to the post office, but to please the harmless snobbery of many buyers, estate agents are only too delighted to pretend it’s in Balham, despite its proximity to Tooting Common.

In the 18th century, much of Balham and Tooting – then mostly farmland – was owned by the Duke of Bedford. A century later the Bedford family sold up and a wealthy merchant built Bedford Hill House.

When Balham station opened in the mid-19th century, the land became more valuable as a potential housing site and Alfred Heaver bought the house and parkland. Starting with Ritherdon Road in 1888, he began work on what was to become the Heaver Estate, building handsome houses boasting decorative brickwork and ironwork. Like many a Victorian, Heaver believed that drink was the downfall of the working man and the estate was built without a pub.

The estate has now become a conservation area and a favourite place for affluent young families and professionals.

Alfred Heaver did not live to see the completion of his vision. Aged 60, he was shot in the head by his brother-in-law in 1901 as he walked to church. His sister’s husband, James Young, then turned the gun on himself. The inquest heard that Young had held a grudge against Heaver for many years.

SW17’S HOTSPOTS TO DRINK, DINE AND HANG OUT

Foxtons opened its office in Tooting in September 2014. Sales manager Bradley Slade is watching the area change.

“It seems that every month a new coffee shop or restaurant opens. The atmosphere here is so vibrant and buzzing. There are lots of new professionals moving in from the nearby Wimbledon, Balham, Clapham and Battersea areas, looking for better value for their money. We get a lot of first-time buyers and investors spending £300,000 to £400,000 on very nice one-bedroom flats and the yields are solid.

“We also get families buying big houses after selling their flats in Clapham or Balham for £500,000 to £700,000 and spending £700,000 to £900,000 on a lovely three or four bedroom house in a tree-lined street with good transport links and local schools. Just a mile down the road from Balham the increase in value becomes evident.

“On weekends the restaurants are busy here and every evening of the week on Tooting Common there are exercise classes of some sort. I even saw a pop-up cinema. It’s all part of the way the area is changing.”

One of the latest trends to hit Tooting is the thirty-somethings who are now joining in fun at the bingo sessions at the Art Deco, former Granada Cinema.

WHOLESALEOPPORTUNITY

Major regeneration is putting Elephant & Castle firmly on the housing map, according to a new report by Kinleigh Folkard &

Hayward.“Elephant & Castle represents the last remaining unrealised

opportunity for wholesale development of land in central London’s Zone 1, delivering 5000 new and replacement homes,” says the

report.“A strong economic backdrop, combined with Elephant & Castle’s

central location, value for money, excellent connectivity and design quality make a compelling case.”

Nearly 2000 new and replacement homes are due for completion in the next two years – a four-fold increase on annual historic rates of new

development. The scale of development will bring change to the area and mark a dramatic move away from its current mix of housing, reports KFH,

and new developments present an immediate investment opportunity.Average prices in Elephant & Castle (SE17 and part SE1 and SE11) are

currently considerably less than neighbouring inner London areas: £383,000 compared to £742,000 for South/South Bank (part SE1), £923,000 for Pimlico

(SW1V) and £1,145,000 for Westminster (SW1P).Prices start at £430,000 for homes in the exclusive new BASE17 development

in Stead Street (KFH Land and New Homes 020 3486 2250). See New Homes page 67.

SCHOOLAWARDSBaylis Old School, a collection of 149 new homes in a Grade II listed former school building in Kennington, has won a third award for developer Henley Homes.

The project on the borders of the Nine Elms regeneration area won a Commended in the Excellence in Planning for Built Heritage category at the Royal Town Planning Institute Awards 2015.

Two previous awards this year for the landmark development were an accolade in the Best Conversion category at the London Evening Standard New Homes Awards, and being named London Home Builder of the Year at the London Construction Awards.

Now entirely sold, Baylis Old School is a mix of refurbishment and conversion of 1960s modernist listed buildings, along with contemporary and sympathetically designed new apartments. Landscaped grounds have water features and communal seating areas.

Henley Homes CEO Tariq Usman says: “As developers, one of our primary focuses is transforming brownfield land, former public buildings and old industrial sites into thriving communities, providing new homes to help regenerate the local area. Baylis Old School is a great example. The project involved extensive consultation with Lambeth Council, residents and the community groups.”

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE PREDICTED

POST-ELECTION BOUNCE IN PROPERTY

SALES?

MAYOW SHORTHEAD OF SAVILLS BATTERSEA PARK

Post-election, the market has picked up across the board. The family housing market in particular has picked up as moving

becomes a necessity for growing families. The market is always likely to be quieter during the

summer holidays, but overall we expect a pick up come September. Price levels have increased

dramatically in the past few years so inevitably we are currently seeing a levelling in the market.

Some of this is due to SDLT changes in December 2014, although we continue to sell properties at the top end of the market

where the SDLT is at the highest bracket. This includes recently a penthouse and a period house at their asking prices of £15.5m and

£6.75m respectively. Buyers transacting now are taking a longer-term view to cover this cost and buying the best they

can afford, with an expectation of not moving on as quickly.

PATRICK RAMPTONDIRECTOR OF RAMPTON BASELEY

There was no post-election bounce except in the price at which some misguided agents started marketing new instructions. If anything, there was a

slump as restricted numbers of buyers were presented with an even more bewildering choice – roughly three times the amount

for sale as this time last year and 25 per cent fewer buyers. Straight after the election, the good buyers were given the

confidence to buy the good stock. Thereafter you were left with largely indifferent buyers and (overpriced) indifferent stock.

The result of this over-supply and under-demand? As ever, price drops. Rightmove reported that June saw the most individual price drops of any month in

recent history. The market is now levelling off and I foresee the autumn and winter showing further market rationalisation as hopefully things returns to

normal for 2016.

WORD ONTHE STREET

ABSTRACTWORKSA major exhibition of works by leading British abstract painter John Hoyland (1934–2011) will launch Damien Hirst’s Newport Street Gallery in Lambeth in October.

ONYOURBIKETransport Minister Lord Ahmad visited Richmond to see first-hand how cycling investment is making journeys simpler, faster and safer.

Richmond is one of the most cycle-friendly boroughs in the capital, and five per cent of all trips from there are made by bicycle. The minister was given a tour of key cycling locations and met local councillors to discuss how new facilities and cycle routes are transforming the lives of commuter and leisure cyclists.

He saw the recently upgraded cycle parking and hire hub at Richmond station, reviewed the A316 cycle route at Richmond Circus, and walked across Richmond Bridge to consider how best to approach the sharing of road space.

“Whether it is for commuting or leisure, more and more people are getting on their bike,” he said. “Our £200m investment in cycle lanes and better infrastructure will not only bring huge health benefits but also reduce the amount of pollution and congestion on our roads.”

The government is committed to doubling the number of journeys made by bicycle. Unprecedented levels of long-term funding are also now available in the Local Growth Fund providing vital support to local councils that wish to invest £10 per head in cycling.

>>SHAPE UP Classical or contemporary, in surface decoration or in multi-faceted accessories, bold geometric patterns add instant impact to a space. And works equally well in modern or traditional homes. (Lucknow-Day Rug £245, www.floorstory.co.uk)

>>IT’S GOT THAT ZING Orange has been a hot colour for a while and shows no sign of fading away. It’s a perfect highlight in mid-century schemes and nothing lifts the mood quite like it. (Pudding Sofa £1195 by Loaf, below))

>>FEAT OF CLAY The dazzling steel and glass structures that throw their shapes on London’s skyline better look to their metal. Architects have adopted the humble brick, admiring its texture and subtle colour variation, for some fine city new builds.

>>OUTSIDE IN If you are without a plot of your own, an indoor garden could exercise your green fingers. Succulents under glass or air plants in macramé potholders spring from the 1970s but look so right now.

BABY,IT’SCOOLINSIDE!It used to be that the biggest decorating decision a new parent had

when getting ready to bring baby home was between pink or blue paint for the nursery. But today’s ultra-interiors-conscious breed of mums

and dads are keen to surround their offspring with cutting edge design and stimulating colours and shapes.

Playful, contemporary and versatile pieces that can be adapted and rearranged for the growing needs of the growing child are an increasingly important area to some household names like Habitat and John Lewis – as well as specialist design outlets.

There’s a growing children’s furniture market and just as even very young children now like to have a say in what they wear, they have an equally strong view about how their rooms should look, too.

>>PLAIN SPEAKING It’s probably the unfussy lines of Shaker-style kitchens that have allowed them such a long life. Put simply - isn’t it time to shake them off.

>>WAY OUT WEST So hip it’s not! Interiors gurus are trying to convince us that wild-west interiors are the next big thing. But who is going rooting tooting for a wall full of dream catchers?(Dreamcatcher, George Home at ASDA)

>>PADDED SELLS Upholstered headboards offer a boutique-hotel finish to humbler, domestic bedrooms but have you thought what lurks in those softly padded folds? Just asking...

>>LIVING A LIE Big sofas with pop-out recliners take up so much space they leave little room for any more living. Our lounges are suffocating. Can we wait ‘til bedtime for a lie-down?

TEARSBEFORE TRIUMPHThe builder had a smashing time but in the end a wonderful house was revealed. Fabian Bhundia talks to Jenny Knight.

When the row of cottages was erected for farm workers they had a simple charm, but after years of neglect most were derelict.

Fabian Bhundia, a property developer from north London-based Arilian Homes, bought one of the houses at an auction, confident that after handling 30 or 40 renovations, he was up to the job of creating his own home.

“The difference was that I usually have an architect, quantity surveyor and structural engineer. I had to do all those jobs myself.

“The worst moment came when the builder called to say the ceiling had to be replaced. I nearly cried but when I saw the beautiful joists that had been exposed, I decided to leave them exposed to add to the room height.”

Fabian bought the house in October 2013 and after delays with planning he started the building work in mid-2014.

“The cottages were built in the late 17th century or early 18th and in the 1970s were let to tenants for a tiny rent on the promise that they were kept in good repair, but that didn’t happen.

Because the cottages are listed, Fabian was restricted in the changes he could make. His lucky break was that the row had been built with tunnels running through each house to allow access to the back, but over time his alleyway had been bricked up. This meant he could use the extra space to ensure that each of the three bedrooms could be fitted with en-suite bathrooms.

“Last year was hectic. I also got married. Towards the end of the year one room was ready for me to stay in, so I started the commute to my work in north London. During the works it was horrible living in the dust and the dirt, and my commute took an-hour-and-a-half in the mornings and nearly as long back at night. Once the house was finished, I decided that although I love Clapham, I couldn’t cope with the travelling, so with a lot of regret are having to sell our beautiful home.

“I loved it working with a listed building, keeping the traditional look and adding a few modern elements. The exterior and interior are beautiful and as you walk in it feels like home.”

in place. The bank may have promised the money but things crop up and you have only 28 days to complete. If you buy a period house, expect to have to rewire and re-plumb.

She considers herself a fortunate person and her track record as an estate agent certainly

shows a magic touch.

Shirley was born in Colombia and came to England in 2004 to study a

degree in marketing. While studying, she had many jobs including agency

hospitality work at exciting locations such as Buckingham Palace, Windsor

Castle, Kensington Palace and the Natural History Museum.“It was amazing to work for Prince Charles

and the royal family in these wonderful places,” she said. After graduating, it was

time for a career and she landed her first job as an estate agent with a firm in Canary Wharf.“I was hooked. After two months I was put in

charge of an office and a team, but as the lets were mainly rooms, after six or seven months I

looked for something better and went to another agency letting flats and houses in South London.

After one year I became the manager. I chose lettings rather than sales because I like quick processes and

results”.Three years later, she decided to move to a bigger

agency and applied to three firms. All offered her a job

and she chose Lauristons in Kennington, where she has lived for the past six years. Once again her luck was in.

Lauristons’ Kennington office opened earlier in the year covering from Brixton up to the City including Tower Bridge and as far east as Peckham and Dulwich, together with Vauxhall on their doorstep.

“Even though it was a cold start, we have had fantastic results due to the Lauristons reputation in South London for over 20 years. Both landlords and tenants have provided great feedback regarding our exceptional service. I have no doubt this office will continue to be extremely successful,” says Shirley.

“At the moment, we are experiencing high demand for quality properties in Kennington, Oval and Vauxhall. We are letting most properties within seven days of coming onto the market, so we need to keep up with the busy summer demands from both professionals and students.”

When off duty, Shirley – who speaks fluent Spanish – loves sport and shares a passion for sports cars with her husband Ashley.

Special report by John East, director of Land and New Homes at Kinleigh Folkard & Hayward

The new homes market in south-west London and indeed across the capital has become buoyant over the last few years. Additionally, demand from both local and international buyers

ensures that developers continue to press ahead with innovative schemes. However, there is one area in south-west London emerging quicker than most.

Streatham has seen significant growth over the last few years. Property prices have risen by 63.9 per cent since 2010 and 12 per cent in the past 12 months. Its buyer demographic is also changing – KFH’s Q2 market data determines that first-time buyers (52 per cent) and buy-to-let investors (14 per cent) make up a high proportion of all buyers in the area.

The first half of the year has seen KFH successfully market two large schemes in Streatham – Pembroke Lodge and Norwich House – with a third development made up of 35 new properties scheduled to launch in the coming months.

Norwich House is an impressive modernist building offering a collection of 98 homes, including a mix of studio, one and two-bedroom apartments. Each apartment includes a bespoke kitchen with a matt white finish, glass worktops, and integrated appliances including a hob, oven, fridge freezer and washer dryer.

Until recently, Streatham had not seen the same amount of interest from buyers as neighbouring Clapham, Balham and Brixton. However, with house prices throughout the London Borough of Lambeth continuing to rise (7.8 per cent in the past 12 months), and due to significant investment in the area, helping with regeneration, Streatham has quickly become a more desired and affordable location to buy, particularly for first-time buyers.

The rental market in Streatham has also been incredibly strong this year, with high demand for all properties ranging from studios to large family homes. New-build properties in this area are great for buy-to-let investors. Renters take advantage of the good transport links and value for money that Streatham offers. The average rental yield in SW16 is around 4.5 per cent per year. Rental yields for Norwich House vary between 4.5 per cent and 5 per cent per year depending on the type of property, with one-bedroom flats offering the best return.

With the surrounding area benefiting from a regeneration programme, Norwich House and other similar schemes are set to be a great opportunity for capital growth and good yields.

NATURESITEPeabody’s Rosendale Road in Herne Hill is a new-build development

of two-bedroom apartments and cottages helping to revitalise the Rosendale Estate conservation area.

Reflecting the architecture of the surrounding area, the development was designed by Haworth Tompkins. Project architect Tom Gibson says:

“The estate is a designated conservation area and sits alongside Peabody Hill, a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation. As such, the new buildings

needed to preserve and enhance the special character of the estate. “The new buildings respond to the scale and the materials of the existing

estate, but employ a contemporary architectural language to distinguish this phase of development from its Edwardian and Victorian predecessors.”

The AA may be best known for helping motorists in their hour of need, as well as producing road maps

and hotel guides, but it has signed a deal with Bank of Ireland to enter the mortgage market. The first loans will probably be on the market next year,

and while there is no hint of whether the organisation will give existing members preferential rates, the deal with Bank

of Ireland suggests its mortgages will be competitive as the bank is the mortgage partner of the Post Office, which

appears to have good deals. Another possible new entrant is Secure Trust Bank, a

specialist in personal and car loans, which has said it is considering a move into home lending. As more players enter

the market, more competition should mean enticing offers abound.

MONEYTIPAfter Mark Carney hinted that interest rates could rise around the turn of the year, the era of ultra-low mortgages may soon be coming to an end. How will it affect you?

Those on standard variable rate (SVR) may not be immediately affected by a base rate increase. Tracker-rate borrowers will feel the knock-on effect: if you would struggle to pay your mortgage if rates did rise, you need to consider fixing to protect yourself against any increase.

Those on fixed rates will, of course, be unaffected by any base rate increase. However, if you don’t have long left on your current deal, you may want to consider remortgaging and securing a rate now before any rise takes place.

Mark Harris, SPF Private Clients

DT South Money.indd 1 06/08/2015 15:11

RAISINGINTEREST Analysts forecast that UK rates will go up next February, reports Duncan Farmer

Mark Carney, the governor of the Bank of England, has given his clearest indication yet of when interest rates will rise, saying, in response to comments by Janet Yellen, chair of the US

Federal Reserve Board, that a rate rise was imminent in America: “The decision as to when to [raise rates] will probably come into sharper relief around the turn of this year.”

The good news is that most analysts believe American rates will go up in December and that the UK will follow suit in February.

That gives borrowers here at least five months to decide what to do to protect themselves from a rise in their monthly mortgage repayments. The market is clearly not pricing in a sharp rise, and fixed rates remain very attractive – the Post Office, for example, has a two-year fixed deal at 1.19 per cent – and there is little excuse for borrowers taking out or sticking with their lender’s standard-variable product.

That said, experts do not believe that once the base rate starts to go up, it will climb dramatically. Mark Carney has often talked about a gradual increase, and Laura Lambie, of Investec, believes that the rate will be somewhere around 2 to 2.5 per cent in 2020 – a long way short of the long-term average before the financial crisis of about four per cent.

The other imponderable is that interest rates may not rise at all. When the Bank’s Monetary Policy Committee does meet to set rates, it will have on its mind the sharp falls in the Chinese stock market and wider worries about its economy; the state of Greece and its bailout; and inflation, unemployment and economic growth.

Inflation has been low, but that is due in large part to the falling oil price, but that will soon drop out of the equation and, as economic growth is doing well, a rate rise may be more likely.

A rate rise will come as a shock to borrowers who took out their first mortgage within the past five years as they have been used to stability and record low rates. Longer-term borrowers who used the era of low interest rates to pay off large – or small, regular – chunks of their loan will not fare so badly as any rise will apply only to their outstanding debt.

In whichever camp you fall, now is a good time to examine all your options.

David Cameron’s comments that he wants estate agents to flag up house sales to people buying UK homes using ‘dirty’ money from the proceeds of crime or dodgy overseas regimes seems to suggest that neither banks nor solicitors are doing a particularly good job at enforcing money laundering regulations.

When I recently applied for a mortgage, both my lender and lawyer wanted extensive proof of the origins of the money I put down as a deposit. It was a laborious and time-consuming process accounting for various sums of money, all of which I had come by legitimately, but not once did my estate agent ask how I had made it.

I would have been surprised if he had: the sales process is slow enough without adding another tier of bureaucracy, especially when that work could and should have been done by other professionals.

ASKTHE LOCALWhy Kennington? South asks Field & Sons director Jonathan Lloyd-Ham

What’s going for it?

Kennington has a fantastic fan base but is still to a degree relatively unknown to many buyers. It still has a village atmosphere and is close to the river with a lovely mix of grand Georgian terraces, leafy Georgian squares and some great local pubs, parks, restaurants and cafés.

Well connected?

Completely. There are four easily accessible underground stations for the Northern and Victoria lines, whisking you to the City or West End. The river and the many excellent cultural haunts along the South bank are within walking distance, as is Westminster.

And the schools?

Excellent local schools include Archbishop Sumner Church of England Primary, Walnut Tree Walk Primary, Lilian Bayliss Academy and Archbishop Tenison’s. There are also some great local nurseries such as Toad Hall and The Pelican.

Hangout at...

Sally White is a great local café for home-baked cakes, lunches and coffee. There are some great restaurants such as Amici, Kennington Tandoori and Gandhi’s, and the local pubs such as the Duchy, the Tommyfield, the Dog House and the Prince of Wales are all fantastic too.

Where to buy

For the larger Georgian houses, Kennington Road, West Square and Kennington Park Road are the most sought-after spots along with some highly desirable garden squares such as Cleaver Square and Walcot Square.

Gem of the monthA short walk from Oval tube, this Grade II listed Georgian house with a delightful courtyard garden directly overlooks the greenery of Hanover Gardens.

ARTFULLYRESTOREDIn a secluded Wimbledon Village location, this superb example of an Arts and Crafts

house has been transformed for the 21st century with a comprehensive restoration, refurbishment and extension programme.Period features such as bronze casement windows in hardwood frames set in

natural stone surrounds with decorative window furniture now combine with the latest in modern technology and building techniques.

At Lampton House, the finest materials in the hands of the finest craftsmen have created seamless extensions using traditional methods blended with high-tech contemporary comforts.

The seven-bedroom property stands on a half-acre plot behind a gated front drive. A Bath stone pillared porch with tessellated flooring opens into a marble hall with pillared arches and glass doors looking through to the magnificent garden beyond.

Bringing as much natural light as possible into the property was a huge focus of the redesign and one of the home’s most impressive features is the basement courtyard lounge room, which together with the mosaic indoor swimming pool is flooded with light from the glass atrium roof above.

The basement leisure complex includes a gym and sauna with shower facilities, two staff bedrooms with en suite shower rooms and a temperature controlled wine cellar. Main living space on the ground and first floors features two fine reception rooms, generous office, media room and fabulous Clive Christian kitchen, breakfast and reception overlooking the rear terrace and beautifully landscaped gardens.

COLLEGELOCATION

Edward Alleyn, founder of Dulwich College, was an impresario, entrepreneur and one of the leading actors of his era – the 16th century.

With links to Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, he was a key figure in a highly creative and innovative period of English literary history. As a member

of the Lord Admiral’s Men, he played most of Christopher Marlowe’s great roles including Faustus and Tamburlaine.Born in Bishopsgate to a publican father in 1566, Alleyn became owner and

manager of the Fortune Theatre after a highly successful acting career. He retired from acting but Queen Elizabeth I herself is said to have insisted on his return to

the stage.Aged 47, Alleyn bought the manorial estate of Dulwich from Sir Francis Calton for

£4,900. Originally he considered founding a hospital on the site but instead chose to establish a school, Alleyn’s College of God’s Gift, now Dulwich College.

His bequest set solid values for the school such as sound learning, strong artistic pursuits and good manners. It also encouraged ‘poor scholars’ to make a full education

available to all, irrespective of social background and financial resources.Named after the celebrated college founder, exclusive Alleyn Park borders the college

grounds and is one of the prime residential addresses in Dulwich. Currently for sale at Alleyn Park, a superb double-fronted house offers almost 3200 sq ft of inside space on

two floors together with a 97ft garden.The five-bedroom property has three reception rooms, a study, two bathrooms and a utility

room. It also has a garage and plenty of off-street parking on the carriage driveway at the front.

Nicky Butcher of Savills Bromley reports on an oasis of tranquillity ten miles from Canary Wharf

Offering the best of countryside living but with the convenience of city amenities is Sundridge Park in Bromley, an exclusive collection of new townhouses, apartments and detached

homes surrounded by 275 acres of Kentish parkland, yet only ten miles from Canary Wharf.

Once the favourite haunt for the likes of King Edward VII and Napoleon III, Sundridge Park has seen many changes over the last 200 years. Its history includes briefly being one of the most popular and successful English country hotels, noted for its luxury and exclusive surroundings.

Now Sundridge Park is being lovingly restored by Millgate to recreate the Regency splendour of the prestigious location. Inspired by John Nash and Humphry Repton, arguably England’s greatest architect and landscape gardener, Sundridge Park is set between two golf courses.

Following in the footsteps of Humphry Repton, the detailed landscaping has been made an essential part of Robert Adams’ architectural design, giving a true country feel close to the City.

The properties have been designed with sweeping Georgian style frontages and classical proportions, which sit harmoniously in the surroundings, and are finished to the height of modern luxury.

Sundridge Park is close to local amenities and fast rail and road connections. A selection of primary and secondary schools with an Outstanding Ofsted rating are easily accessible. Guide prices for the two and three-bedroom apartments start at £695,000 and £1.25m for the townhouses. Savills Bromley 01689 869630.

COUNTRYSCENE Robert Jacobs, residential head at

Savills Tunbridge Wells, reports on the rise

of multi-generational living

A shortage of affordable housing for those trying to get onto the property ladder is leading to

an increase in multi-generational living. Grandparents moving in with

younger generations has been happening for years but we are seeing

more and more buyers looking to accommodate their grown up children.

Nowadays, they finish university and don’t necessarily walk straight into a highly

paid job. Student loans and high rents mean they can’t afford to rent as well as save a deposit to get onto the property

ladder. Therefore, parents are looking to accommodate them for a few years while they get themselves on their feet.”

Typically, families making this move will look for ancillary accommodation such as an attic or a self-contained floor.

Separate entertainment areas are also desirable, such as a second living room or, in country properties, a converted barn so

entertainment can take place outside the main house.Properties suited to multi-generational living, currently being

marketed by Savills, include a six-bedroom farmhouse with two cottages and more than 60 acres at Motts Farm, Eridge Green,

£2.75m; eight to nine-bedroom Cranbourne House, Tunbridge Wells, £1.85m; and five-bedroom Ham Farmhouse (pictured), Withyham, East

Sussex, with an oast barn conversion, £1,795,000. Savills 01892 507000.

LETTINGS& MANAGEMENT

DT Lettings Lowdown DPS.indd 1 06/08/2015 15:21

160

The first half of this year has been great for lettings, with rental prices remaining strong and in many cases rising moderately from last year. One of the key reasons for this is the imbalance between low levels

of available rental properties and continued high levels of tenants that are actively looking.

August to October is traditionally the busiest time of the year for lettings. One of the main reasons for this is the start of the academic year, prompting students, graduates and families alike to structure their intended move around it. Likewise, many corporate relocations and internships take place over the late summer months.

As the market becomes increasingly competitive, tenants are advised to start their search as early as possible. Typically, landlords will begin marketing their properties two months before the date it becomes available, so choice can become more constrained as time goes on. While the many property websites are a useful tool to give tenants an idea of potential options, we always suggest that tenants register with the relevant agents too, so that they don’t miss out on new instructions to the market. Tenants are therefore also encouraged to move quickly and be reasonably decisive when putting an offer forward on their chosen property. Multiple offers being received on the same property is a common occurrence during this time, so timing can be crucial to avoid disappointment.

Starting the process early is also advisable for landlords looking to market their property over the next period of time. Demand for corporate services in south London remains high at this time of year, with corporate tenants often organising themselves several months in advance of their intended relocation, particularly when moving from overseas.

Given this typical lead time, securing tenancies early can protect landlords from the risk of the void period. While conditions remain favourable for landlords at this time of year, price is a barometer of time and the best results will often be achieved when the property is given maximum exposure on the market.

On the market AD.indd 1 10/08/2015 15:36

Tell us how you joined the property industry and briefly describe your career history to date.It was totally by accident. I was working as a freelance translator in London and always found myself drawn to agents’ windows on my evening walks home. Finally in 2006 I decided to give it a go and I’ve never looked back. What do you enjoy most about working in this market, and what have been your highlights so far?I love the chase, finding tenants the right properties and landlords the right tenants, and it’s really satisfying when it all works well. No day is ever the same as we’re always meeting and dealing with very different types of people, so it’s incredibly sociable and interesting. Describe the biggest challenges you face on a day-to-day basis.I’m not a morning person, so the first challenge is getting up! Once I’ve passed that hurdle, every day is a case of being aware of the wider context, understanding what’s happening in the market and the latest legislation’s affect on our landlords or tenants. What advice would you give to anyone considering a career in estate agency?Sadly, estate agents don’t have the best reputation, mainly as a result of a few pirates in the industry who get it wrong. Just ignore the negativity and be honest, listen and stick at it. Changing people’s opinion about us is incredibly satisfying. How difficult is the current market for prospective tenants, and what advice do you give them?In a busy market, it’s important to be well organised and on the ball. Good properties come on and off the market very quickly, so be prepared to make a decision on the viewing and have everything in order to speed up the referencing process.

LAST WORDRichard Hole, head of Lettings at Savills Putney, has the final say.

In your view, how does the South London

market differ from other areas of London?This area still attracts a strongly domestic

market, with buyers and tenants often moving from nearby or central London. It’s

also incredibly family-oriented, which is lovely, as a result of myriad excellent schools and our

wonderful green open spaces.

What are your predictions for the market in South London for the next few years?

South London’s enduring appeal will continue to make this area an attractive place to buy and rent, so

we expect the market to remain strong. Our research department predicts a five-year growth of 20.5 per

cent in the sales market and 17.1 per cent for lettings.

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

Putney, of course. It has everything: excellent transport links with the Overground and Underground, as well as

a wonderful community, beautiful parks, the Thames and some fantastic pubs and restaurants. We mustn’t forget The

Fez Club too.

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

Perhaps a traffic warden for a day, just for fun. Otherwise I’d be a wildlife photographer or artist to travel the world, see

spectacular natural phenomena up close and personal, and record them for posterity.
