The AreA & DeveLOpmeNT…

WHATMAN HOUSE is located just off Burdett road in the popular borough of

Tower hamlets e14 and benefits from a naturally appealing surrounding area

featuring many parks and most notably the Limehouse cut which can be accessed

easily for a leisurely stroll down to the picturesque Limehouse Basin. The proposed

layout has been developed to optimise natural daylight and southern sunlight

penetration to the dwellings which is desirable from both a rental point of view but

also in terms of resale.

WHATMAN HOUSE has been designed with efficiency in mind and Individual

apartments are laid out to maximise usable space and internal flexibility. All units have

direct and level access to a private amenity space (Terrace/Balcony) large enough to

accommodate comfortably a table and chairs for all the occupants within the given

dwelling. Balconies have a minimum floor area of 5.0m2 (1 bed 2 person 2.5 m2) and

are supplemented by a secure communal terrace located on the roof of the 4-storey

building.

WHATMAN HOUSE has many eco-credentials and throughout the construction

process these will be adopted to minimalise the impact on the environment such

as the recycling of construction waste to reduce landfill. Biodiversity Green roofs

are also proposed to further aid the buildings performance in not only providing

visual amenity, and usable space for tenants but also collection of rain water and the

reduction of heat loss in winter.

WHATMAN HOUSE will also enhance the local area by providing landscaped

gardens and parks to enhance the desirability of the site

The reNTAL & mANAGemeNT…

Through a strategic partnership with King Sturge we rely on their experience and brand to attract professional tenants from

financial institutions and corporate relocation agents. King Sturge’s efficient marketing and administration teams ensure that

your rental returns are maximised, and void periods kept to an absolute minimum.

FULL PROPERTy MANAgEMENT SERVICE

From our experience we find that professional and corporate tenants prefer to let properties that are fully managed, and are

becoming more demanding of the service they require.

managing a property is a specialised and time-consuming business, especially when problems arise, which is why we rely on

King Sturge who have teams in place to remove this burden from you. Their property managers have extensive knowledge of

property related issues and are there to protect your investment.

Fully managed includes, in addition to our let only service, the following:

• rent collection and the issuing of monthly statements

• property inspections

• payment of routine outgoings

The FUrNIShINGS…

Upon completion of the development we aim to make the units as

desirable as possible from a rental point of view. As such we offer a complete

furnishing solution on every apartment to ensure that your unit is finished and

furnished to the highest possible standard to attain the highest possible rental.

We have teamed up with arguably one of the best interior design teams

in London to bring a style and character to every unit in the development

which reflects the design desirability of those in the market looking for a

quality property rental. As such, Luke Doonan of conscious Image will

handle the specification of furnishings to ensure the desired design brief of a sleek,

modern yet comfortable apartment which is not only aesthetically pleasing to look at

but a comfortable living area for which to live is met.

All properties will be fully loaded and typically will appeal to someone looking to

move in with just a suitcase. Through past experience, many of our rentals within

this area are corporate type tenancies living within the home counties and looking

for a pied á Terre closer to the office. For this reason we ensure that the property

has everything the tenant will need from 100% cotton bedd ing right through cutlery

and plates.

The LONDON mArKeT…

After the recent downward trend in the market that started in 2008, the

outlook for the coming years is certainly more positive in terms of growth.

One of the driving forces for this is the fact that long term demand will

continually outstrip current supply. currently the UK Government has said that it

needs to build as many as 290,500 new homes each year until 2031 to cope with

burgeoning demand. In 2009 however, only 80,000 new homes were built which

has fuelled demand. (source : Guardian)

The two graphs above are sourced from the UK Land registry which is the most up to

date an accurate registry system in the UK and give the trend and breakdown of average

house prices over the 2 years . The graph on the left shows the drop off in prices within

Tower hamlets that started back in may 2008 and also the rebound that

followed in April 2009 that we see continuing today. coincidently, The Times printed

an article in February 2009 that noted Tower hamlets would be one of the top 10 UK

postcodes to rebound the quickest based on market activity and certainly we have

seen that come true today.

RENTS PUSHED UP By LACk OF SUPPLy - THE LETTINgS MARkET SAW A SHARP UPTURN DURINg THE FIRST

qUARTER AS A SHORTAgE OF HOMES PUSHED RENTS HIgHER, SAyS THE ROyAL INSTITUTION OF CHARTERED

SURVEyORS - 26 MAy 2010

rIcS says 30% more of its members reported a rise rather than a fall in rents during the three months to April, up from a net

balance of zero for the previous three months and compared to an all-time low of 58% in April last year.

Some 12% more surveyors reported a fall rather than a rise in the number of new landlord instructions in Q1. A spokesman

for rIcS says that with sellers returning to the housing market, lettings supply has fallen back. he says: “This is good news for

landlords as rents are set to move higher in the coming months and yield returns are likely to improve. “The news that buy -to-let

specialists are beginning to lend again may also encourage investors to return to the market.”

Surveyors are now predicting that rents will continue to rise with the rental expectations net balance climbing to 36% - the highest

figure since 1998.

HOUSE PRICES RISE 9.7 PERCENT IN MARCH – 13 MAy 2010

(reuters) - house prices rose a seasonally-adjusted 0.7 percent on the month in march, leaving them 9.7 percent higher on the

year, data from the Department for communities and Local Government showed on Thursday. The average price of a home stood

at 205,598 pounds in march, it said.

AVERAgE HOUSE PRICE HITS MARk LAST SEEN IN 2007 - 12 APRIL 2010

house prices in england and Wales have risen for 11 months in a row, taking the average price back to a level last seen in August

2007. The latest house price index from Acadametrics, based on Land registry data, shows the average house price in march

stood at £227,788

HOUSE PRICES ARE SET TO SOAR – 3 MAy 2010

hOUSe prices are to soar by at least 20 per cent to crown a hat-trick of good news for homeowners, property experts

predicted last night. rock-bottom interest rates, cheap mortgages and a shortage of supply are set to fuel a “significant” new

property boom. Lenders are predicted to cut average interest rates from four to three per cent.

even Bank of england governor mervyn King has suggested that the base rate, currently 0.5 per cent, will stay at record low levels

for up to four years – longer than expected.

The centre for economic and Business research predicted a typical three-bedroom semi would rocket from the predicted 2010

yearend price of £172,500 to £203,200 by the end of 2013 if the surge - from the beginning of this year - materialises.

chief executive Douglas mcWilliams said: “house prices will be notably higher in three years than they are today.” The report, the

most optimistic this year, shows that the rate of house price growth will moderate in 2010.

Yet prices will still be 5.3 per cent higher at the end of the year, at an average of £172,500. During 2011, house price growth

could slow to 3.4 per cent in the wake of public-sector cutbacks, and the resulting job losses. But after that dip analysts say the

shortage of new-build housing will drive growth of nine per cent in 2012 and a further four per cent in 2013.

The forecast come on the back of last week’s Land registry figures showing a £12,000 rise in house prices in the past year, and

Nationwide data showing the first double-digit rise in three years, with prices up 10.5 per cent in the year ending in April.
