ASKTHEEXPERT

What impact on property sales do you foresee if mortgage interest

rates rise in line with expected base rate changes?

Jonathan Lloyd-Ham of Field & Sons replies ...

Interest rates are predicted to rise at some point during 2016, but the jury is out at the moment

with both agents and buyers on the affect this will have on the house market.

Some buyers are already starting to be more bullish when making offers,

certainly at the lower end of the market, as they will not have seen ‘higher’ interest rates. Quite a few are eager to buy now, securing a fi xed-rate mortgage deal.

The top end of the market seems to be less affected by an impending rate increase for a number of reasons. The majority of people have bought before and have experienced much higher lending rates. They also tend to have more cash behind them, and have generally benefi tted from the low rates over the last six years.

The area that may see more fl uctuation is the off-plan new-build sector, where a lot of buyers bought with the intention of selling once the development was built. Quite a few will not have factored in increased mortgage payments so will be keen to fi nd a buyer as soon as possible. There may be some good buys to be had here!

When the fi rst rate increase happens, there may be a slight blip as the market readjusts, but with the central London market these tend to be short-lived as demand is constant.

One man’s improvement is another man’s bad taste, says Jenny Knight.

Scaffolding and skips are the signs that households in a street near you are busy improving their property, but will the improvements add saleability or raise

eyebrows for the wrong reasons?All too often the latest trend is next year’s dated look. Take halogen

spotlights on the ceiling – as passé as Seventies avocado bathroom suites. And thinking of bathrooms, what about those extra thin cabinets that don’t hold anything or those tiny washbasins too small for a large pair of hands – all of them shrieking yesteryear.

It seems that anything that says ‘ultra modern’ or ‘on-trend’ will also say ‘out of date’ in a few years’ time. For example, people who installed a freestanding bath in the bedroom must now be wondering what possessed them. Unless you are running a house of ill repute, who doesn’t want a bit of privacy in the bath, and who doesn’t want to get out of the bath without drenching the bedroom carpet?

Felicity Blair from Roy Brooks says: “Unless you are planning to sell immediately it’s best not to go for the cutting edge in décor and stay neutral in tone and style. Some trendy items like blue glass basins lasted all of 18 months before they became passé. I think bowls that stand free of marble tops will also date because it’s diffi cult to clean under them. Things that are insuffi ciently functional are not a good idea in the long run no matter how stylish they look at the time they are installed.”

Mark Goodeve-Docker, new homes and investments director at Foxtons, says: “With an insight gained by regularly communicating with developers, buyers and investors, our New Homes department is in a great position to monitor recent changes in preferences when it comes to interiors.

“In 2016 we are expecting to see further development of trends that may have already started in the last few years. Automation of home functions, including centralised control of lighting, heating, sound, ventilation and air conditioning appliances amongst others, is a trend we expect to continue, as well as the use of other latest technology in properties.

“LED lighting continues to feature extensively and we’ve also noticed the increasing popularity of larger windows, including fl oor-to-ceiling windows, in new build or recently renovated homes. Washing machines are starting to get moved out of the kitchen following a preference for an open-plan, modern kitchen space and as consumers become more environmentally conscious, we expect to see further interest in properties with improved EPC ratings and environmentally friendly schemes.”

This is going to be an interesting year for London property. I haven’t seen anywhere near as much development in London in the 15 years I have been an estate agent.

It’s really quite extraordinary and the housing stock available to purchase in the capital is literally changing before our eyes. The skyline is looking more like Hong Kong or Dubai with each passing day.

This is getting mixed reviews. For example, I was in a taxi on New Year’s Eve and the cabbie slated one of the most publicised regeneration development areas south of the river, ranting and ruminating as to who could afford to live in the numerous skyscrapers adorning the vast site.

Alternatively, we have consistent and considerable interest from buyers both local and international for modern lifestyle developments, and they seem to be able to afford to buy one or many fl ats with an increasing appetite for this type of housing.

While new luxury developments may not be affordable to every person, they are regenerating areas that border other areas that also benefi t from the ripple effect, without the eye-watering prices, and most of us can still afford to buy a fl at or house in the borderlands. They also benefi t from the urban regeneration and upgraded local infrastructure.

What this means is that we now have more distinct Old London versus New London housing styles. We have all the glorious and varied period properties, so loved and admired by Londoners, available in areas that we may not have considered living in before, but that have beautiful period housing stock.

And we also have the newer luxury developments catering to those that require something different, with onsite lifestyle amenities. These are creating communities and widening the areas in which we choose to live in the capital.

The best advice I can give buyers is to explore other areas. You may think you only want to live in a certain place – until you visit another one. I have moved many times over the years and each time I am convinced that my area of London is the only one to live in.

Until I move and discover that little hidden park, extra special beer garden, tree-lined avenue, family-run bistro, or charming high street that I didn’t know was there.

THE WORDHead for the borderlands to fi nd your perfect home, suggests Matthew Smith of Knight Frank Riverside

It’s a one-off, one-man band run by a great guy called Sean who whips up your order in front of you as you wait. There’s a bijou eat-in capacity, but he has a very strong takeaway following with the locals for both lunch and dinner. And the food? I’m partial to his chicken gyoza and the ever-popular chicken katsu curry. His sushi is fantastic, though: really fresh and Sean’s very particular about where he sources his food so you know it’ll always be top quality.

ANEWACTTOFOLLOW

Florence Hoath tells Jenny Knightabout the appeal of Putney

Former child star Florence Hoath has taken to charming the public in a new role as sales negotiator at Savills’ Putney offi ces.

She started her acting career aged eight and as a child appeared in many children’s fi lms and television programmes. Her best known role was

starring as one of the children in Fairy Tale: A True Story, about two Edwardian girl cousins who fooled the world into thinking they had photographed genuine

fairies.She grew up in Chiswick and East Sheen and instead of going to a stage school

she went to Ibstock Place School in Roehampton. As the daughter of an actress and a director, she had something of a head start

into show business but she says: “As an adult, I struggled to have the same success and decided I’d better have a regular job as opposed to working in pubs and bars

waiting for a role.”Deciding to become an estate agent was an easy choice because during a trip to

Australia she had worked for an agent doing admin.“It’s very different in Australia because everything goes to auction, but when I came

back to London it seemed like the natural thing to do. I have friends who are estate agents and I knew I wanted to work in sales. It is exciting and interesting.”

She started with an estate agency in East Sheen dealing with the whole range of properties: “I loved looking round wonderful £10 million houses.”

Then an opportunity came up to do a maternity cover at Savills, also in East Sheen, and she took a gamble by giving up her permanent job.The gamble paid off and two months ago she moved to a permanent position with Savills in

Putney, working as a sales negotiator in their core business selling properties up to £1.7 million. “I love it. I think I got off to a good start because in the fi rst month I managed to get four

properties under offer, but over the Christmas period things slowed down a little. Putney has about 12,000 properties so is busier than East Sheen, which is fun.“

As well as selling the period houses that Putney is known for – handsome Victorian and Edwardian houses in tree-lined avenues and some Georgian cottages tucked away in hidden lanes – she is also

dealing with new-build fl ats. “There are lots of new-builds, which is not something I had previously dealt with. I have been selling off-

plan, which is interesting, having to sell something that you can’t see.”In particular she has got to know two up-market developments with concierge services: Tileman House, a

collection of one, two and three-bedroom apartments and penthouses on the Upper Richmond Road, and the stylish Oakhill Park.

“It is great going to building sites, seeing the show fl at and over time seeing the whole thing develop. I enjoy everything about being an estate agent. I enjoy dealing with owners. Their property is often their most precious

fi nancial possession and we have to take care of it for them and build a relationship of trust so they know we will do our best for them.

“I also enjoy meeting buyers and going round with them on viewings, getting to know them and trying to fi nd the right property for them.

“I know Putney well and like the village feel. There are lovely houses, Putney Heath, the river with lovely pubs on it, and it also has a good high street, so you don’t have to go into town to do your shopping. Sometimes we get people

who are only looking in one particular area of Putney. Often people who are buying have been renting in Putney, others move from central London – maybe downsizing from Fulham or Chelsea.

“Another trend is for owners to move out to Esher or Cobham looking for bigger houses and the right schools.”It all sounds very different from an actor’s life – but Florence will be keeping a foothold in that milieu when she marries

Hollyoaks bad boy Neil Toon next year, after meeting him through friends 18 months ago.

BATTERSEABARGAINS

Wandsworth Council and Battersea Power Station Development Company have signed a legal agreement that

will see 374 homes offered to local residents to rent or buy at well below market prices.

More than 250 of these properties will be for rent, including 69 three-beds and 35 four-beds. Rents levels will be set between 20

and 70 per cent below the market rate, with the average discount just over 40 per cent. The aim is to make them affordable for

households with a combined income of £25,000 and above. The remaining 116 homes will be for Wandsworth residents to buy

at a reduced price on terms to be agreed between the council and the developer.

All the new homes will be built as part of Phase 4a of the power station masterplan. The fi rst 177 properties should be ready for occupation in

2019, some three years earlier than originally planned. Once built, the homes will be offered to Wandsworth residents on low

and middle incomes who can’t afford to buy or rent on the local market. Phase 4a of the development will replace an old industrial estate and

milk distribution depot in Nine Elms on the South Bank. There will be seven new mixed use buildings – between seven and 18-storeys high – designed by

architects Patel Taylor to echo the style of London’s grand redbrick mansion blocks.

Council leader Ravi Govindia said: “This deal is unique and will deliver hundreds of new homes at prices that low and middle income households can genuinely

afford. The high numbers of three and four-bed homes are particularly welcome news for local families struggling to cope with London’s infl ated housing market.”

ARTSTATIONThree local charities received a share of £18,000 from Battersea Power Station’s fi rst art exhibition, staged at Battersea Arts Centre.

Battersea Art Station weekend showcased one single subject – Battersea Power Station. Having called out to both amateur and professional artists around the world, the competition received submissions from New Zealand to Canada ranging from contemporary power station gym clothing to classical oil paintings.

Around 5000 people visited the exhibition over the three days in the Grade II* listed arts venue, BAC, to enjoy the artwork and take part in other activities on offer for all ages. Nearly 300 pieces of art were sold including prints and merchandise, with 20 per cent of all art sales – just under £18,000 – going to the local charities.

David Twohig, head of Design and Placemaking for Battersea Power Station Development Company (BPSDC), said: “Involving fantastic local charities into our weekend was hugely important in the overall planning for the celebration of art and the power station. It was very much a community event and we were thrilled to be able to raise such a signifi cant sum to support these worthwhile organisations whilst the public were also enjoying some great art.”

The three charities to benefi t were Beatbox Academy, Theatre503 and World Heart Beat Music Academy. BPSDC and Battersea Power Station shareholders plan to hold similar events in the future as part of a commitment to support local arts and culture. The BPSDC team are pictured with charity representatives.

WHAT WOULD YOU SUGGEST THE

CHANCELLOR COULD DO TO MODIFY STAMP

DUTY CHARGES TO GET THE HOUSING MARKET

GOING?DOMINIC PASQUA

KNIGHT FRANK WIMBLEDON

The stamp duty charges introduced in December 2014 have had the effect of damping down the housing market – particularly for properties above

£2m. It has made the whole market very price sensitive and a lot of would-be buyers are now extending their current homes

rather than move and pay penal amounts of stamp duty. Builders that specialise in extensions have never been busier!

If the chancellor were to make any modifi cations to these new rates to stimulate the market, we would suggest reducing the

10 per cent banding to 8 per cent and the 12 per cent banding to 10 per cent. However, there still is a good market for

properties in all price ranges if they come to the market at realistic prices. With the introduction of these new taxes,

buyers need to see value.

AMY STEELE KFH RAYNES PARKOne obvious answer is to remove stamp duty altogether for fi rst-time buyers, but George Osborne will never do that. The next best alternative could be for the government to change

the way fi rst-time buyers pay their stamp duty. In November 2015, the number of buyers purchasing their

fi rst property dropped by 10 per cent from the summer months, according to the NAEA, so it would make sense to ease the fi nancial burden

placed upon those looking to own their home. If buyers were offered the chance to pay only half the stamp duty costs up

front, they could then spread the remaining fi gure over a set number of years at a preferential interest rate. This would ensure the government

recoups its costs, and provide the added bonus of making the initial transaction more affordable.

WORD ONTHE STREET

DULWICHASCENTHouse price growth in Dulwich has risen at a rate equivalent to 12 per cent a year for two decades – stronger than anywhere else in the UK – according to latest fi gures from Knight Frank.

Total price increase for Dulwich property is almost 900 per cent since Land Registry records began in 1995. Knight Frank research also identifi ed a decline in £1m-plus property sales in London in the year to April 2015 following the stamp duty changes in December 2014.

A second stamp duty increase, for buy-to-let investors and second home buyers, announced in the Autumn Statement at the end of 2015 is already creating an impact, reports Tom Bill, Knight Frank head of London residential research.

“Combined with timely new measures on housebuilding and home ownership in the Autumn Statement, it squarely addresses what will become the political battleground during the 2016 London Mayoral campaign, leaving central government less open to accusations it is not tackling affordability concerns,” he says.

“In the short term, it is likely to produce an upturn in activity as buyers act before the April 2016 deadline and there is already anecdotal evidence of added impetus during transactions.

“Furthermore, a growing number of vendors are setting asking prices that refl ect the heightened sensitivity to pricing among buyers since last December’s stamp duty change and where asking prices have come down, the market is operating in a relatively normal manner and tapping into underlying demand that remains resilient.”

RIPPINGTIMESThe conjuring trick to turn a run-down two-bedroom maisonette into a stunning three-bedroom home, complete with roof terrace, took more than a quick ‘hey presto’. Jenny Knight reports.

Every wall was taken back to brick and every fl oor was lifted and reinstalled with modern soundproofi ng, yet the fi nished home looks like the ultimate period maisonette.

Nicole Donne and Steve Paddock paid £535,000 for the two-storey fl at on the Heaver Estate in May 2013, attracted by the potential to bring out the diamond in the rough.

Nicole says: “It was just awful but we fell in love with it. We wanted a big project and we saw the opportunity to extend. Now this maisonette has been split over three fl oors it has more square footage than many small houses.“

They drew up the initial plans and started the loft conversion through Craig Taylor from South London Lofts. Once the main construction work was completed, Steve and Nicole did much of the remaining renovation work themselves over a 15-month period.

Nicole says: “We called in favours – including building support from Steve’s father Brian, and step-dad Kevin – as well as holding numerous ‘painting parties’ with generous mates.“

In all, the renovations included the loft extension with an en suite bathroom, the addition of a roof terrace, rebuilding a fi rst fl oor terrace and total refurbishment.

“The living areas we aimed to be quite contemporary but we were very keen to retain as many of the period features as possible, including picture rails, coving style, doors and balustrades. My favourite classic piece is the reclaimed Edwardian cast iron fi replace, with original tile patterns,” said Nicole.

“The living areas and bedrooms have many of the period elements, but the kitchen and bathrooms are made with clean lines, gloss white and modern fi ttings. We bought the beautiful vintage wood effect tiles for the bathroom before we even designed it. I love the Neff slide-and-hide oven: it’s the same one they use on the Great British Bake Off. The worst part was lath and plaster – the messiest, dustiest substance to work with in renovating.”

Steve added: “The loft is the most personal space in the property. It is a bit of a haven for us after a long workday – it’s very quiet with lots of natural light and the most relaxing room in the home. With the windows open on a breezy day, or sitting on the roof terrace, it’s easy to forget you are in London.

We are sad to be leaving this house which has become a wonderful home to us, but now it’s time for another lovely family to enjoy it”.

This truly unique family house combines

Monarch during the creation of Great Britain in 1707, Queen Anne was living at

this house when her lady-in-waiting handed her a letter proclaiming the

throne was now hers.Her uncle, Charles II, had given

her the house and she lived here for 18 years before she became Queen of

Great Britain and Ireland. The house now stands in Putney but in Queen Anne’s day

it was in Wandsworth, where it formed the central portion of the Old Manor House.

When the Wandsworth house was taken down in 1885, this section – complete with

25ft murals by Sir James Thornhill – was preserved and transported wholesale by horse

and cart to its new location in a quiet part of Putney.

Sir James Thornhill was the painter of interior works of art at St Paul’s Cathedral and Hampton

Court Palace, and his murals on plaster span two floors and adorn the stairwell. One depicts the

moment the lady-in-waiting presented the letter declaring Anne Queen in 1702.

The house was built on its original site in around 1670 for a wealthy Dutch merchant. There’s evidence

to suggest it was designed by Sir Christopher Wren, who worked on ‘designs for a mansion’ and ‘plans of

gentlemen’s homes’ at around that time. In any case, it’s almost certain work was carried out by the great man

himself or his pupils. Residents when the house was in Wandsworth include French writer and philosopher Voltaire.

A conservatory at the Putney house contains original marble from the Tivoli Theatre in the Strand, and a reception

room off the extended kitchen and breakfast room features an original fireplace and iron window fittings from the time of the

Great Fire of London.Currently available to let, this historic once-removed property

includes five bedrooms, three bathrooms, four reception rooms, a balcony, courtyard garden and off-street parking.

ASKTHE LOCALWhy Battersea? South asks Lauristons sales manager Martin Sharp

What’s going for it?

In recent months, Battersea has been the highest-profile, up-and-coming area with more than 20 residential developments under way as well as the Nine Elms regeneration area, including the Battersea Power Station development. The areas surrounding Clapham Junction heading along St John’s Hill and Northcote Road boast boutique shops, restaurants and bars.

Well connected?

Clapham Junction station, one of the biggest and busiest stations in Europe, connects commuters to central London within minutes and routes all over the UK. Battersea Park train station is on hand and there is further development with the confirmed Northern Line extension to Nine Elms and Battersea Power Station.

And the schools?

Situated on Emmanuel Road off Battersea Rise, Emmanuel School is one of the best in London. Thomas’s London Day School, a prep school for ages four to 13, is located on Battersea High Street, with another branch in Kensington. We also have the English-French schools L’ Ecole des Petits and L’ Ecole de Battersea.

Hangout at...

Clapham Common hosts the popular SW4 festival, or if you prefer something a little tamer you can retreat to the bars, restaurants and premium coffee outlets on Northcote Road and St John’s Road. Within easy reach is Clapham Old Town with its retro vibe and popular butchers and patisserie.

Where to buy

If you prefer the character of a period property, I’d recommend Prince of Wales Drive. If your budget is more modest, off Lavender Hill and St John’s Hill are popular with both first-time buyers and buy-to-let landlords. The majority of new-builds are in development between the Thames and York Road or Battersea Park Road.

OPTICNEED

Connection speed is becoming a top priority in the London property market, with the role of reliable broadband changing from

a nicety to a necessity for the majority of modern home movers.A survey of 500 residents revealed that they would

spend a staggering 12 per cent more for a property enabled with 100Mbps broadband, which equates to

over £57,800 for an average priced home in London. Sixty-five per cent of residents in London now check

their potential broadband speeds before renting or buying a property.

Anything less than 8Mbps would stop a potential mover from renting or buying a property: 14Mbps is considered

to be the bare minimum – which is only 6.4Mbps short of the average broadband speed in London, which currently sits

at 20.4Mbps.The reliance on their broadband is so pronounced that over

a third (35 per cent) try and hold off moving until broadband is activated. In many instances, residents in London also cited

the opportunity of receiving 100Mbps as an on par or more than important than access to local amenities and nice neighbours.

Claiming to be the UK’s fastest broadband provider, Hyperoptic, which offers symmetrical gigabit-enabled (1,000Mbps) broadband

services, commissioned the survey to get insight into the changing role of connectivity. “Unlike most other ‘fibre’ broadband providers that only run fibre to

the green box at the end of the street (Fibre-to-the-Cabinet), Hyperoptic installs fibre all the way into the development (Fibre-to-the-Premises),”

says the company. “This means that Hyperoptic customers can connect to the internet at

advertised speeds, without having to worry about peak-time slowdowns, buffering and frustrating timeouts.”

Hyperoptic works with property owners, developers and professionals, designing and installing dedicated fibre infrastructure to new buildings, and

retrofitting improvements to existing developments. Hyperoptic services a number of luxury developments across London, including Neo Bankside behind

the Tate Modern in SE1, Fulham Riverside and Goodmans Fields.

ONTHEWATERFRONTAfter a year of success and excitement, selling and letting premier Thames side properties, Savills Waterfront offi ce, looks forward to

even brighter future. Jenny Knight talks to the team.

It was just over a year ago that Savills opened a dedicated waterfront offi ce a stone’s throw from the sparkling waters of the Thames at Battersea.

The offi ce on Battersea Bridge Road covers an area from the banks of the Thames at Richmond down to Docklands and Canary Wharf. From the traditional family homes in the west to the sophisticated new apartments at Wandsworth, Battersea, Fulham and Chelsea, to the converted warehouses of Docklands; the waterfront offers every type of property to suit every stage of life.

Fran Moynihan, associate director waterfront sales, says: “We share an offi ce with our south west new homes team and have done an enormous amount of business with them this year. A lot of buyers will consider either a brand new riverside property or a second hand one. Having a presence here together, so close to the river, is really useful. “

The perception is that nowadays property buying always starts on the internet, yet the waterfront offi ce fi nds a lot of people walk across Battersea Bridge or across from Battersea Park and stop to look in their window. As Fran says: “They stop to look, see something they like in the window and then pop in. It’s more like the traditional type of estate agency. “

Although prices have steadied over the past year, Savills Waterfront has achieved some record sales. Just before the election a sale was agreed on the penthouse at

the iconic Albion Riverside in Battersea, even though at that time there was a threat of a mansion tax if Labour had been victorious. The penthouse sold for the asking price of £15.5 million. “At £2,500 per square foot it was a record price for Albion Riverside,” Fran explains.

“The 6,500 square foot fl at set over two levels, was unique because it was in the best position with views over Albert Bridge and with double height ceilings. A couple bought it as their London home.

“We have had great results all year, matching the right buyer with the right property. Take Embassy Gardens: the second phase was launched in September and already we have sold out of studio, one and two bedroom fl ats, with only two bedroom fl ats remaining in that phase. Although we have seen a huge amount of supply along the river, if the product is properly priced and stands out it will sell well. “

Embassy Gardens illustrates the trend along the river for developments to add extra luxuries or wow factors to make them stand out from the rest. When completed it will feature an incredible swimming pool suspended 115 feet in the air, linking two of the luxury blocks. The sky deck will also house a spa, summer bar and orangery.

Fran adds: “People come to us looking for a lifestyle. They know they want a river view, underground parking, concierge and lock up and leave, but the river is a vast area and we give advice and guidance, all from one offi ce, instead of people having to deal with 10 different offi ces, all looking after their own stretch of the river.

“People love it when we can show them everything that the river offers. We help them understand where they are and what the facilities and transport links are.

“We are looking positively towards the future because prices rocketed in 2013 and if that had continued the market might have come unstuck. We can now look forward to long term stability in the London property market and international investment continuing.”People come

to us looking for a lifestyleFran Moynihan

LETUS HELP YOUThe lettings team at Savills Waterfront also

claimed its own records in its fi rst year of operations.

Oliver Sloggett-Taylor, says: “We let a duplex penthouse at River Court, Blackfriars, to an American Banker for £3,000 a week, and we have just let the three bedroom duplex penthouse at Montevetro to an Australian banker for two years, for £2,750. He looked at it online and we took him round and he was impressed. We have some high-end properties, which is a very nice niche to be in.

“People who are renting tend to be time poor and because renting is less of a long-term venture than buying, they might make quicker decisions. We get a lot of relocation agents on the telephone looking for clients. The clients know the riverside is going to be more expensive and that they will be paying higher prices, but they have already taken that on board when they contact us. We drive applicants up and down the river, showing them different areas and developments, their choice isn’t usually area based but on the merits of the individual developments and benefi ts to them.

“The Lettings market has benefi ted from a high amount of stock on the market, so people have lots of options and the new brand new developments all have 24 hour security and all the rest. Explaining about the competition they face is our biggest challenge with landlords. “

NEWHOMESUPDATEThe off-plan market is becoming increasingly competitive, reports Katy Mazen, Henley sales and marketing manager

The last 12 months have been positive for us here at Henley. As ever, buyers seek quality and are looking for properties with a high specifi cation and fi nish, ideally with some

outdoor space, in well-connected locations. For us, highlights of 2015 included the completion of Baylis

Old School, the highly complex restoration of a Grade II listed former school in Kennington, as well as winning a total of nine9 prestigious industry awards for our South London developments.

Starting as we mean to go on, 2016 has already been a busy year, kicking off with the January launch of a new show apartment at Carlton Gate (pictured), a collection of 24 apartments and three penthouses set behind an art deco style façade on Putney Hill.

Buyers to date have included local downsizers and investors and we’ve had particularly strong interest in the penthouses, which are unusually large three-bedroom lateral homes, complete with a fantastic triple-aspect private terrace – a unique offer in Putney.

Looking ahead to spring, undoubtedly the stamp duty surcharge on buy-to-let and second homes, due to come in in April, will have an impact on the market as a whole. We anticipate this could make buyers more price and location sensitive than ever. However, feedback from our estate agent colleagues here in South London continues to be positive, as purchasers remain quietly confi dent that well-designed, well-priced new homes will always be a sound investment.

Also this year we will turn our attention to Constance Court, a development of 51 one and two-bedroom homes in the sought-after property hotspot of Nine Elms, where we intend to launch off-plan. Completion is due early in 2017.

The off-plan market remains strong and increasingly competitive across the UK, but particularly in London. With such a variety of properties available, it’s only natural that, more than ever, buyers want to see a quality fi nished show home.

As a result, we will be launching a permanent ‘demonstration apartment’ at our Battersea offi ces later in the year. This will come complete with a fully fi tted kitchen, living area and ‘winter garden’, allowing potential purchasers to view a sample Henley home and helping them through the off-plan buying process.

Barratt London has released Westmead Court, the latest phase of homes at its Catford Green development in the

London Borough of Lewisham.Praised by London mayor Boris Johnson as

‘a fantastic development’, Catford Green has proved particularly popular with fi rst-time buyers,

many assisted by the Government’s Help to Buy programme or the Bank of Mum and Dad.

The 11.6-acre development features 415 one, two and three-bedroom apartments divided over 13

buildings, with a proposed on-site retail and community space. Most of the homes will have a balcony or terrace,

some overlooking Ladywell Fields. A new footbridge will lead to the area’s existing amenities,

and landscaped grounds will feature pathways that open onto Ladywell Fields and its 54 acres of public park.

STADIUMENTERPRISE

Galliard Homes, in association with AFC Wimbledon football club, has received detailed planning consent from Merton Council for a new multi-million-pound, mixed-use, sports-stadium-led project on a 14-acre

brownfi eld land site off Plough Lane. The masterplan for the new project was created by architects Sheppard Robson,

who designed the residential, retail and leisure elements working alongside Wilson Owens Owens, designers of the new stadium. The 20,000-seater centrepiece – with

an initial capacity of 11,000 – will serve as AFC Wimbledon’s new home. Founded in 2002, AFC Wimbledon views itself as the spiritual successor of the

Plough Lane-based Wimbledon team formed in 1889. The original club relocated to Milton Keynes in 2001-2 and adopted the name Milton Keynes Dons in 2004.

A group of Wimbledon-based supporters responded by forming the new club, AFC Wimbledon, which has since been seeking a base and stadium. This has now been

achieved following the latest planning decision. Around the new stadium Galliard will build a mixed-use development providing 602 mixed

tenure apartments, a 17,500 sq ft squash club and fi tness facility, and a 13,700 sq ft retail outlet.

The stadium entrance will front onto a new public piazza, and a wide pedestrian boulevard will run across the site from north to south, positioned between the stadium and housing,

connecting Plough Lane with Riverside Road and Summerstown.Rising from six to 10 storeys, three linked apartment buildings will be located to the south, east

and north of the stadium. The venture is Galliard’s third sports stadium project – the other two were the Emirates and Upton Park.

CLEARCHOICESFind the right lender for you, reports Robin Johnson, executive director of Kinleigh Financial Services

The New Year brings new buyers to the property market and I also expect a very competitive mortgage market, with more new lenders, which will see improved value for borrowers and more loans aimed at

people with less conventional circumstances.Employment contracts have radically changed since 2009, with many

more employees receiving salary packages that are heavily dependent upon bonus or commission or self-employed status.

A recent example of how the Mortgage Market Review (MMR) has infl uenced lender underwriting criteria relates to a marketing director who applied for a mortgage shortly after his promotion to partner. This application was rejected by his existing mortgage lender, not because of affordability, credit or any other issues but because of his new status as a self-employed partner at the fi rm where he had worked for eight years.

Understanding lenders’ criteria prior to submitting your application can save a great deal of time and frustration. An expert mortgage adviser will provide you with a clear understanding of the mortgage market, and which lenders are best suited to you, to ensure you can achieve your new home.

MONEYTIPSpeculation persists on the next base rate

movement, and my personal opinion is that there will be no change until 2017.

Next month lenders have to adopt new regulation, the Mortgage Credit Directive (MCD). In the build-up,

lenders are likely to rein back their pricing as they look to slow business down to ensure their new systems do not

‘fall over’. Once they are confi dent, expect some element of price competition to return.

Whilst these new regulatory changes (and previous ones) have made remortgaging troublesome for certain market

elements, all is not lost. We are still in a low rate environment, and with new lenders coming to market, a new mortgage may

be closer than you think.

PARENTTRAPParents or grandparents who want to help their children to buy their fi rst home should beware of the government’s plan to impose stamp duty of 3 per cent on any additional home a couple buys.

For example, if parents want to give a child a deposit to buy a house and then act as guarantors of the mortgage, they will not be liable for the additional tax. However, if they plan to buy the house in their own names for their child to live in, that will count as an ‘additional’ property, and therefore they will be liable for the extra stamp duty.

CAPITALBELIEFLondon is top city, reports Duncan Farmer

London is the most important city in the world to wealthy people, beating New York and Hong Kong to the top spot. It is also vitally important to the UK’s economy and a report by PWC, the

accountant, predicts that economic growth in the capital this year will be about 3 per cent, compared with an average of between 1.6 and 2.4 per cent elsewhere in the country.

Employers in the capital are also far more optimistic than businesses elsewhere in Britain, and Manpower’s Net Employment Outlook for London is +9 per cent, meaning that most firms expect to hire more

people. In fact, Manpower says that the only problem facing employers is a skills shortage. “The London labour market is extremely busy, with employer confidence rising,

and this is being reflected by increasing permanent hiring volumes,” says its report. “However, many employers are increasingly facing a talent shortage and this has seen a greater reliance placed on head-hunting to find individuals with the in-demand skills and experience that they require.”

As a result of this positive economic growth, inflation is likely to rise from its present low levels. What all this points to is the suggestion that the Bank of England’s monetary policy committee will have to increase interest rates. As PWC says: “The Monetary Policy Committee may start to raise interest rates gradually during the first half of the year. Businesses and households should still plan for rates to be back to 3 to 3.5 per cent by 2020.”

So far, however, banks and building societies have yet to factor this into their mortgage rates and there remain excellent fixed-rate deals on the market. The Post Office, for example, has a two-year fixed rate loan with an interest rate of 1.18 per cent for buyers with a 40 per cent deposit. For borrowers looking to fix for five years, by which time the Bank of England’s base rate could be at about 3.5 per cent, Royal Bank of Scotland has a fixed-rate loan of 2.53 per cent, again for buyers who have a 40 per cent deposit.

The more likely it becomes that rates will rise then the harder it will be for borrowers, especially those looking to remortgage, to get such good deals.

CROWDCAMPAIGNA campaign by private landlords to overturn the chancellor’s move to tax income from buy-to-let investments raised £42,000 towards its £50,000 target in just six days.

Chris Cooper and Steve Bolton started the crowd-funding appeal in the hope that a judicial review would overturn the controversial Clause 24 of the 2015 Finance Bill, in which the government introduced plans to prevent landlords offsetting mortgage interest costs against rental profits before calculating tax.

They say that George Osborne’s proposal flouts “a long-established principle of taxation that expenses incurred wholly and exclusively for the purposes of the business are deductible when calculating the taxable profits”. The judicial review needs to be submitted by February 17.

Set in more than 150 acres of the Kingscote Valley in West Sussex, Kingscote

Wine Estate contains a 14th century farmhouse with a thriving commercial

vineyard and visitor centre.Grade II listed, five-bedroom Mill

Place Farm stands in formal gardens with views across its own land and

surrounding countryside. A converted coach house is used for holiday lets,

and a 15th century wooden tithe barn incorporates a visitor centre and cookery

school.Located between the Bluebell Railway

heritage line and Weirwood Reservoir, this extensive estate also offers a winery, a shop

and offices, together with equestrian facilities, vines, fishing lakes, orchard, pasture and

woodland. The current owners run activities such as

vineyard tours, cookery courses and team-building events, and also offer outdoor sports such

as fishing and clay shooting. Winemaker Owen Elias produces premium wines and cider from vineyards

established to deliver 100,000 bottles of still and sparkling wine per year.

Kingscote originally formed part of the 1000-acre Gravetye Estate once owned by English horticulturalist

William Robinson. Robinson redesigned and planted the entire landscape, and more than eight lithographs of

scenes in his Gravetye Manor diaries were from the land that is now Kingscote Estate.

Robinson died in 1935 and bequeathed the estate to the country for the study of forestry. Christen Monge bought the

farm from the Forestry Commission in 1999, returning from Asia in 2009 to establish the thriving vineyard and exciting

tourism destination that exists today.The initial vines were planted in 2010, 2011 and 2013 on

the south-facing slopes that once formed part of Robinson’s English country garden. The first Kingscote vintage of high

quality still wines was released in August 2014 and has since won international awards.

LODGEHASROYALLINKSGrade II* listed Wenbans country house, tucked away in a semi-rural

spot in Wadhurst, East Sussex, borders Wadhurst Park and is said to have been a hunting lodge, possibly for King John.

It has also been reported that in the 1920s Wenbans was visited by the future Edward VIII and Mrs Simpson while the house was under the ownership of Lord Cholmondeley.

Dating from the 15th century, Wenbans is largely a substantial timber-framed building on sandstone walls, added to in 1612 and having undergone a number of alterations and amalgamations since.

To the south-east of the house is a 16th century timber-framed great hall with vaulted ceiling, which has been incorporated into the accommodation, joined by a rear hall. This room is open full height to the eaves with a massive inglenook fi replace and minstrel’s gallery. To the north, an additional brick building with hanging tiles dates from the 1920s.

The master bedroom features superb wall panelling, attractive fi replace and en suite bathroom. Four more bedrooms and a family bathroom are on the fi rst fl oor, and there are three second fl oor bedrooms, all en suite. An au pair or housekeeper’s living space includes a sitting room, bedroom and shower room.

Fine grounds feature a walled swimming pool with pool house. A detached two-bedroom coach house completes the feel of a small country estate.

COUNTRY VIEW

Robert Jacobs, head of residential at Savills

Tunbridge Wells, predicts an active market ahead

I’m looking forward to an active market in 2016, with good trading now that the political landscape has settled down

post last year’s election, and with a generally benign economic environment where hopefully

things continue to slowly look brighter.The properties that will continue to be most

in demand will be those in good locations in the town, ideal for schools and commuting, as well as the best

country or village properties that stand out in terms of architecture or position, or both. I think all price ranges will be popular and the

top-end market will see more sales now that mansion tax is thought of as off the agenda.

I cannot see big increases in house prices locally, but I can see a continuation of a trend, fi rmly established in Tunbridge Wells town in

the past few years, of mild price rises in the mainstream and £1m-plus markets, but possibly a bit more muted at the top end due to recent

sharp increases in stamp duty. Longer term, Savills predicts house prices in the South East’s

mainstream market will increase by 21.6 per cent over the next few years to 2020.

While the levy on buy-to-let announced last year is unlikely to have a signifi cant impact on the outlook for the UK housing market as a whole, there

will be a number of sub-sectors where the impact is most felt. Generally, buy-to-let investors are likely to display greater caution faced with

higher transaction costs, and this is likely to be those with substantial debt who are also affected by the changes to tax relief that were announced in the July

budget.However, in the short term, there is little doubt that some buy-to-let investors

will bring forward their planned purchases to beat the April 2016 deadline, including those looking to extract cash from their pensions.

Battersea and Clapham are forever increasing in popularity, with their outstanding state and private schools, many boutique coffee shops, quirky bars, restaurants and hidden treasures to explore. In turn, property demand

in this buzzing and attractive location is steadily rising and therefore prices rise with it.

October kicked off Q3 to a very busy start with our offi ce achieving the highest number of move-ins of 2015 to date. We saw an increase in professional sharers taking on the more expensive family homes, increasing their budgets to well over £800 per week.

Professional sharers are really saturating the market in two, three and four-bedroom properties at the moment. They realise that the only way they can

get on to the property ladder is to house-share with friends and save whilst still enjoying an active London lifestyle in an attractive and vibrant area. Aside from the demand from these parties, we have also seen an increase in demand for luxury one-bedroom apartments at £400 per week-plus.

The market continued to show positive activity throughout November and there wasn’t a chance of us slowing down in the lead-up to Christmas. We had one of our most successful Decembers in my experience in the area, with two tenancies starting between Christmas and the New Year.

It is very rare for us to see a buoyant sales and lettings market side by side, but this is exactly what we are experiencing at the moment. We are already coming into contact with prospective buyers and tenants who are driven and focused in their searches.

On the market AD.indd 1 14/01/2016 09:50

Tell us how you joined the property industry and briefl y describe your career history to date.I became an estate agent on the recommendation of an old drama school buddy called Amanda. Having tried and failed to land any proper acting work, I was working nights as a bouncer to pay the bills. After fi ve years of working the doors in the West End, I felt the time had come to seek out a less confrontational career. Little did I know how aggressive the lettings industry would be! I’ve now been doing this for 12 years. Once it’s reeled you in, there’s no escaping the lettings industry. Thanks, Amanda. What do you enjoy most about working in this market, and what have been your highlights so far?I enjoy dealing with a broad range of people and have met some extraordinary characters along the way, from those fresh-off-the-bus with two quid in their pockets looking for a fl at in SW2, to an elderly millionairess wanting to rent out the annexe to her 5000 sq ft Chelsea pad. Describe the biggest challenges you face on a day-to-day basis.The most challenging daily aspect is the ongoing pressure to bring in new business, and I rely on my creative strengths to come up with original ways to do so. We have a new billboard campaign coming out in February that we hope will have a positive effect (though being a tad risqué, it may equally land us in hot water). Dealing with the mountains of paperwork associated with lettings, as well as all the legislation now involved, is extremely time-consuming.

In your view, how does the South London market differ from other areas of London?I love South West London. It differs signifi cantly from other areas I’ve worked in such as Kensington, Holland Park and Chelsea and I prefer it. The properties are less grandiose and so are the people. It’s edgy and vibrant. While parts of

LAST WORDBryony Walters of Sheraton Law in Clapham has the fi nal say

prime central London can feel a little stagnant, you feel the South West is buzzing

and really going places. Areas such as Wandsworth Town, Nine Elms and Streatham

are almost unrecognisable from before.

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

you introduce?I’d limit the amount of estate agents allowed on one

High Street – there are far too many. I’d bring in fi nes for investors who buy up property then leave it empty.

From my window at home, I look out onto a beautiful development where most people could only dream of

living, yet at night only about a quarter of the fl ats have any lights on. It doesn’t feel right when so many people

are sleeping rough.I’d ban dog breeding, foie gras and shooting. No fi zzy

drinks for under-16s and no use of the word ‘basically’ before any sentence. No ‘at the end of the day’ or ‘I’m not

being rude but’ to be uttered in public. Gosh, I’d be popular.

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

Christian Bale’s wardrobe assistant. If you need to ask why, you clearly don’t know me.
