9 152JANUARY ISSUE

ASKTHEEXPERTIf the age of the mega-basement is over, in which other ways can

homeowners increase space in their houses and add value?

Emma Seaton, head of Savills Wandsworth, replies ...

Space is hotly sought after in London and comes at a premium. With moving

costs so high, many homeowners are looking into options for extending, rather than moving, to

make their property suit their lifestyle for longer. Basements have been an incredibly popular option, but

they can cause disruption to neighbours and do not suit all homebuyer tastes. So if you can’t dig down, what are the best other options?

A side return can be a relatively easy win: it doesn’t create a huge addition in terms of square footage but allows far more flexibility on the ground floor. This can present the option to create a larger open plan kitchen, breakfast room and family room, which is often a must-have for buyers in the current market.

Knocking down walls and opening out rooms can make the space feel considerably larger and more versatile, without necessarily adding to the square footage. A rear extension can also work well in conjunction with a side return, but does reduce often precious garden space.

A loft conversion is one of the most popular options in South West London and many homeowners put in either a dormer window or full mansard loft extension. If you have the option to add a roof terrace, private outside space is highly sought after and will always add value.

Inside, consider reconfiguring if your main bathroom is on the ground floor, as most buyers prefer it on the first floor. It can definitely be worth sacrificing the smallest bedroom to change it into a bathroom, especially if you are converting the loft and gaining a better bedroom anyway. This will also free up downstairs space that could be put to better use, such as increasing the size of the kitchen.

Putting in a brand new kitchen will also add value but costs a great deal, so be wary as overdoing it may involve more expenditure than returns when you come to sell.

The New Year will soon is upon us – but will the Christmas season tidings of comfort and joy last for more than a few months, Jenny Knight asks.

Sam Sproston from Knight Frank Wandsworth obligingly got out his crystal ball to see what 2016 may hold for us.

He says: “All the signs are that the market will be pretty solid over the next 12 months and personally I am predicting a good year ahead for us.

“More and more clients understand the importance of having the correct marketing strategy and correct pricing. Both of which are the determining factors in selling (along with using a high calibre agency). This should lead to a greater number of properties coming to the market which are in line with agents’ price expectations, or so I hope and help drive the market.

“We have, as a firm, recently reduced our forecast for annual growth in 2016 down to 1% in Prime central London and 2.5% for Prime outer London (The areas Knight Frank have offices and cover outside central London, including obviously Wandsworth). But in general the market looks healthy and there are no property specific gremlins on the horizon. Buyers are still coming to terms with the stamp duty changes and that has been a contributing factor to the reduction. Transaction levels are on the rise again now in Central London which bodes well for us here in Wandsworth as we need sales north of the river to drive buyers moving to the borough from across the river.

“In summary, I think the outlook is good. Vendors are becoming more realistic and buyers are able to purchase in a market this isn’t either racing away or falling. We’ve had plenty of sealed bids but not so much gazumping! The mortgages rates are still very low and buyers are extremely focussed – the ingredients that lead to a stable platform for buyers and sellers.”

Robin Chatwin, head of Savills South West London, adds: “Writing before the Autumn Statement was announced, it is difficult to tell if that will have a strong affect on the 2016 property market, but overall we expect it to be more stable, with none of the election uncertainty and caution of the first half of 2015. Providing properties are priced well, there should be a good market with people who want to buy. Buyers now tend to move quickly when they find what they like, taking into account the cost of stamp duty, they are not prepared to compromise on their list of requirements and tend to wait until they find exactly what they want.

The beginning of a New Year is always an ideal time to reflect upon the past 12 months and how the property market has fared.

2015 gave us a lot to think about: it was a bit of a rollercoaster with the general election in May and its related property politics causing hesitation in the market. Alongside this, the property market had to transact in the context of a new fiscal and regulatory backdrop, particularly the alteration to stamp duty levels in the December 2014 Autumn Statement.

Different levels of the market have had varied responses. The flats and family houses market up to around £2m remained fairly healthy with a steady flow of sales and the expected ebbs and flows.

Above this price level, property sales have been more significantly hit by the increased cost of stamp duty and demand across the board has predominantly been from those who had to move, rather than those who chose to. This meant the volume of sales was, at certain price levels, lower, with buyers often viewing many different properties until they found one to buy.

It was certainly a year where teamwork was essential and thinking outside the box proved far more useful than waiting for the situation to become easier. We have worked closely with Prime Purchase, Savills buying agent, who have often been chosen by buyers requiring clear, objective advice more than ever before.

It has been tough at the coalface, so to speak, but there has been plenty to celebrate, too, with some very exciting and hard-won sales to report. There will always be motivated buyers who need to move and we have been focusing a good deal of our efforts on these buyers. As a result, we have had some great successes, despite the trickier selling environment.

The best-in-class properties (either presented in good condition, or needing complete remodelling, and realistically priced) have performed the most strongly, such as a house on Woodborough Road which sold quickly at a level just shy of the guide price, as well as another on St Simon’s Avenue.

New-build developments have also been successful and these new offerings have brought new buyers to the local area. Specifically in Putney, we have benefited from the completion of a few key developments, such as Oakhill Park, in which sales remain robust and we have sold a strong proportion of the apartments, predominantly to British buyers and owner-occupiers.

We expect the market to pick up fairly quickly after the Christmas and New Year break and would advise potential vendors who are standing back and waiting for it to do so, not to miss the boat and to prepare their property for sale as soon as possible. We are eager to get our sleeves rolled up once again and hit the ground running in 2016.

THE WORDDon’t delay if you’re planning to sell your property, advises Alex Howard Baker, director of Savills Putney.

£1,625,000 Set in 1.25 acres of rural land, this five-bed detached

Willow Farm is located in the Surrey village of Send, five miles south of Woking. The house comes with a superb

indoor swimming pool with changing room, a four-car garage and a substantial private garden overlooking fields,

as well as a large in-out driveway. Foxtons Woking 01483 434445.

Boqueria192 Acre Lane, Brixton SW2• 020 7733 4408 Where? A great location between Brixton and Clapham on vibrant Acre Lane. What’s it like? A modern tapas menu with a twist. The lively atmosphere retains a relaxed, accommodating feeling due to the outstanding waiters and waitresses. Space is optimised by utilising the bar area with stools, ideal for a more private dining experience. And the food? Truly outstanding and it doesn’t cost the earth: traditional tapas as well as creative dishes with a contemporary take on Spanish cuisine. I’d recommend tuna tanaki, suckling pig dishes, and the wonderful but odd-sounding fried milk for dessert.

EMBASSYDELIBallymore Group has brought a new pop-up grocery, deli and restaurant

concept to its Embassy Gardens development in Nine Elms, Wandsworth. The move is the culmination of its investment in an eminent, local

gastronomic professional. Known as Market Porter, the restaurant and deli follows the developer’s decision

to diversify Embassy Gardens’ commercial spaces by investing in local talent and industry expertise, something it has achieved by partnering with Stefan Porter, local

ecommerce entrepreneur and founder of MeatPorter.com. Ballymore managing director John Mulryan said: “Our vision for the completed

Embassy Gardens is somewhere that is diverse, rich and beautifully designed – a place in which people can reside and absorb life. Market Porter is the first example of this at the

development.”In another launch at the development, leader of Wandsworth Council Ravi Govindia

opened a new 18,000 sq ft Waitrose store at Embassy Gardens in November.

GLOBALMIXDevelopers from 18 countries flew in to promote their luxury

residential properties in London for two days in November at the Luxury Property Show, tapping into the UK’s international market

of high-net-worth individuals.With the 52 stands sold out weeks before the show, there was

a mix of UK and international property on display from Dubai, Italy, Cyprus, USA, Portugal, Greece, Germany and the Caribbean, as well as high-end interior firms and bespoke furniture suppliers.

Tesla made their mark on the show demonstrating the future of motoring with their 100 per cent electric Model S that does 0 to 60 mph in 2.8 seconds, and were fully booked for test drives over the two days. TV presenter Melissa Porter hosted a number of seminars offering buying, tax and legal advice.

Show organiser Eddie Sikora said: “I am delighted by the success of this year’s show and the positive feedback from so many exhibitors. 2016 will be the show’s 10 year anniversary and we look forward to another successful event for exhibitors and visitors alike.”

Exhibitor Loucas Kitrou of Aphrodite Hills said: “After a few years that the UK market was less buoyant for overseas properties, I was positively surprised to see renewed and genuine interest. We have a good number of serious leads to work with and we are confident that sales will be achieved.”

TOOTINGOFFICEMarsh & Parsons is starting the New Year with the opening of a new office in Tooting to

complement its branches in Balham, Battersea and Clapham. The company plans to open another three London offices during the year.

The branch on Upper Tooting Road will be the estate agency’s 25th in the capital. Chief executive Peter Rollings said: “Tooting is firmly on the radar for buyers and tenants

as offering better value for money, and was a logical progression for us to extend our reach from nearby Balham and Clapham.”

WHAT LIES AHEAD FOR HOUSE PRICES IN

2016?

MAX GREEN

SAVILLS CLAPHAMWriting before the 2015 Autumn Statement, we expect short-term price

growth to remain muted in a market which currently looks fully valued and fully taxed,

particularly considering the 2014 Autumn Statement’s new stamp duty levels.

Over 2016, prime property markets in Outer London are predicted by our research department to see a fairly steady

growth of 2 per cent in 2016, with the mainstream markets expected to respond more strongly at 5.5 per cent across the

whole of London. The prospects of good price growth in the medium term are

strong, however, with a forecast five-year mainstream growth of 15.3 per cent across London and, in the

prime markets, 21.5 per cent in Central London and 18.2 per cent in Outer London.

TOM FLOYD WINKWORTH KENNINGTONThis is perhaps the most eagerly awaited

question at any dinner party for an estate agent, or any property person, every festive period. Sober discussion

prior to Christmas festivities draws me to the following predictions for 2016:

Interest rates at the Bank of England are due to remain at 0.05 per cent well into 2016, which we know from past experience has a knock-on effect on

buyer confidence and affordability in the market place. Competitive mortgage rates will continue to stabilise the market.

Properties below £1m will continue to benefit from the stamp duty reform, helping buyers to continue to climb the property ladder.

WORD ONTHE STREET

SCHOOLPRIZEHenley has received a seventh accolade for Baylis Old School (above),

its flagship development of 149 new homes in Kennington, gaining a Commended in the Development of the Year (100+ homes) category

at this year’s Sunday Times British Homes Awards. Baylis Old School also won Henley success this year at the International

Property Awards, London Evening Standard New Homes Awards and Royal Town Planning Institute Awards. The developer was also named London Home Builder of the Year at the London Construction Awards for its work on the project.

Henley scooped two more awards for The Annie McCall (below), the redevelopment of a former maternity hospital in Stockwell into 30 beautiful homes, with successes at the International Design and Architecture Awards and London Evening Standard New Homes Awards.

Katy Mazen, Henley sales and marketing manager, said: “Both schemes were challenging conversion projects of listed landmark buildings. They are located within the London Borough of Lambeth, and we worked closely with the borough to deliver quality new homes and retain the rich heritage of these historic sites.” Baylis Old School and The Annie McCall are both now fully sold.

IT’SCOMMONSENSEJenny Knight hears it’s not the same old...

Rampton Baseley have decided to open a sister office on Bellevue Road in order to better cover the Wandsworth Common market. They have spent years looking for the right site and finally 30 Bellevue Road (formally the Inside Man) became available.

Pessimists might say that Rampton Baseley are making a mistake by opening a new office facing Wandsworth Common on a road already well stocked with estate agents. Those same pessimists might have warned Patrick Rampton and Joel Baseley that they were naïve when they first launched Rampton Baseley in Northcote Road eight years ago, on the brink of a global recession.

How wrong those doomsayers were – Rampton Baseley are now the leading independent sales and lettings specialist for Battersea, Clapham and Wandsworth. Last year they were instructed on approximately 31 per cent of house sales Between the Commons – compared with their nearest competitor who achieved approximately 16 per cent of instructions.

Now they are taking their unique style of knowledge, service, and enthusiasm to Bellevue Road, Wandsworth Common, where many of Wandsworth’s premier houses are bought and sold, sure that their move will shake the market up.

Aren’t there enough estate agents on Bellevue Road? “Apart from the short answer of ‘yes’, says Joel, “the real answer to that question is that we feel that there are enough of the SAME agents offering the SAME service. We can offer an alternative in a market that has largely been dominated by perhaps only two agents. Our Northcote Road office has long been established as the leading agent in the middle upper end of the market Between the Commons and we fully intend to expand this remit across the other side of Wandsworth Common.”

Patrick explains further: “If Joel and I had any concerns about opening a sister branch it would be that we didn’t want to dilute the skill set and talent base of the Northcote Road operation. Having established our leading position in the market for some years now, we have found it easier to hire quality people than some of our competitors.

“We went out to look for the best people in the industry and we really believe we have achieved our aim. A good estate agency starts and finishes with the quality of the people it employs. All agents have the same tools – Rightmove, Zoopla, emails and telephones (the English language) – it’s the people that use them that matter.”

Who is going to be in charge of the new office? “I live in the Magdalen Estate,” replies Joel, “so it makes sense that I have more direct involvement in the Wandsworth Common office. But I will still have a desk at Northcote Road too. To manage the new office Patrick and I were desperately keen to find exactly the right person, and think we have found him in Rupert Nicholson, formally Knight Frank Clapham. We were thrilled when he accepted our offer to head up the new office.”

Patrick reckons good estate agents need three qualities in abundance – knowledge, people skills and drive. “Rupert is a qualified chartered surveyor with eight years’ experience in the property industry, so we knew he had the knowledge bit covered off. He had come highly recommended by mutual clients, so it was evident that he was good with people, and his track record in endurance sports gave us a pretty good idea that he wouldn’t mind putting the effort in.

“Before he gets too big-headed about this, I am pretty sure I can beat him on a circuit of Wandsworth Common, even if he is 20 years younger than me and has made it to the North Pole and back!”

>>ON A ROLL No need to spend £700 a pop on Damien Hirst’s butterfly wallpaper but big impact walls are making a comeback. www.farrow-ball.com for a gorgeous gallery.

>>BLOCK BOOKING Solid, dependable and so handsome - parquet flooring, recycled or new, is the currently desirable flooring hero.

>>A GOOD READ Media rooms with all those devices promising instant gratification have got nothing on books. Home libraries are popping up in cosy corners all over, promising quieter, page-turning pleasures.

>>OUTWARD BOUND Forget excavating for extra square footage – could the shed in the garden hold the key to adding space and value to your house? With 4m-plus people now working from home, the Shoffice is the ultimate extra room - and with a view!

UP4SHACKATTACK!We gave the new Loaf Shack in fast-developing Battersea a

welcoming nod in our 4 Up 4 Down column when it opened its doors back in the autumn. But this bright newcomer under the

railway arches in the rather grey streets of Queenstown Road deserves more of a spotlight.

The glowing white Loaf signage, set in a sea of vibrant Mediterranean blue tiles and glowing inset windows, draws you into the relaxed space that the company’s founder Charlie Marshall took two years to find and develop.

It’s a showcase for the company’s Derbyshire-made beds and sofas, which have been available online for the past six years. And an opportunity for prospective customers to see and touch the products and, in the case of the mattresses, try them out in the testing area complete with ‘fluffy’ cloud ceiling.

They can also cosy up on the sofas. The shop is described as a ‘slow room not a showroom’ so there are chill-out areas, a children’s corner with old-school Space Invaders and football table, and an ice cream parlour. The Takeaway Area offers a selection of hand-picked gifts from tableware to cashmere blankets and organic candles.

The plan was to create a different kind of showroom and an enriched shopping experience – a space that would make people smile. It certainly worked for me.

Now the search is on for the perfect location for the next Loaf Shack – one of ten planned to be rolled out in the next few years.

>>A WASHOUT Has our craving for open-plan living gone too far with bathtubs (and loos!) in the bedroom? It’s good to share but some private functions surely call for a closed-door policy.

>>SURROUND SOUND Are your noisy household appliances driving you crazy with their combined cacophony? Not just a nuisance, all this racket can be bad for your health. www.quitemark.com can point you in the direction of whispery washing machines and discreetly flushing loos.

>>CAREFUL COLOURS Grey front doors – so ubiquitous, so tasteful but oh so safe! Delight your neighbourhood - and maybe set a trend – by embracing the bold. A bright choice – Yellowcake by Farrow & Ball.

>>PLAYING UP Hand-painted murals, designer furniture and much more. It’s good for kids to have their own space but do they really want, or need, to be indoctrinated by seriously expensive and indulgent interior design?

CONTEMPORARYAWAKENINGFrom a nightmare of clashing carpets, tatty fixtures and fittings has risen a clean, contemporary home. Graeme Snell tells Jenny Knight how he did it.

When Graeme Snell first set eyes on this six-bedroom house, it needed real vision to see past a décor tired to the point of exhaustion. Hideous gas fires supplied the heating, the

garden was overgrown, the different patterns of wallpaper fought with the carpets, and a tumbledown lean-to clung to the back of the house.

He says: “I was attracted by the scale. I love large Victorian properties and this one had fantastic proportions already. The ceiling heights and room sizes were already great. We just made them feel more contemporary. The décor was from the fifties, sixties and seventies. The bathrooms were ‘interesting’ and the garden out of control.”

Despite its discouraging appearance the house was actually in good order structurally. “The only issues were from old metal windows. Brand new sash windows sorted that, though.“

He set about renovation by keeping features that were beautiful but needed refurbishment. “For example, there was the huge front door with stained glass and the beautiful curved handrail that takes you up the stairs. The front of the house looks as a Victorian house should – striking but traditional. The modern renovation sits behind that traditional facade.“

As well as totally opening out the property, redecorating and adding contemporary touches, he also added a touch of luxury.

“I used Corian in the kitchen. I’ve got granite in my home but there’s something special about the way the Corian feels and flows. Also there’s a 145kg stone resin ‘egg’ bath in the master bathroom. Whoever buys the house can bathe knowing it took six men to carry it up the stairs! The garden also feels luxurious but is actually low maintenance.“

The revamped ‘house of horror’ is now a soothing palette of cool colours. The kitchen has been extended and flooded with extra light thanks to new skylights. The gas fires have been replaced by modern heating and the three bathrooms are luxurious and contemporary.

POSHBRAND1BECOMES2

Victoria Beckham’s former design studio in Battersea’s creative quarter, next to Albert Bridge, has been converted into two luxury apartments by boutique London property developer

CLPD. The two three-bedroom apartments – one 2126 sq ft, the other

1862 sq ft – are on the first floor of the former industrial warehouse at Ransome’s Dock, an exclusive neighbourhood surrounded by the likes of Foster + Partners, Vivienne Westwood’s fashion house, and Simon Fuller of Pop Idol and Spice Girls fame.

To cement the Dock’s extravagant credentials, a natural spring in the warehouse basement even provides a bespoke source of water to the ground floor.

Polished concrete floors and contemporary raw marble panelling provide a chic framework for urban living. For sale with the furniture in situ, the two apartments will enable buyers to enjoy the finest pieces from Vitra and Carl Hansen.

Raw marble surfaces juxtapose with robust recycled paper units and distressed metal worktops to deliver customised Minacciolo kitchens sourced from Italy. Tiles made from recycled materials by Mutina give the designer Italian Rexa bathrooms a utilitarian chic, while Vola taps, Corian baths and Murano glass basins nod towards the profound attention to detail of a designer hotel.

Bustling Parkgate Road and Battersea Square are on the doorstep offering gastronomic attractions such as Source Restaurant, the Prince Albert, the Butcher & Grill and Gordon Ramsey’s London.

The luxurious Ransome’s Dock living space was previously the design studio and office headquarters of Victoria Beckham’s fashion label, following her singing career as Spice Girl Posh with chart-topping hits such as Wannabe and 2 Become 1.

ASKTHE LOCALWhy Northcote Road? South asks Gemma Bramwell, associate director of Rampton Baseley Battersea

What’s going for it?

It’s no secret that Northcote Road is seen as a foodies’ paradise with its fantastic weekend market and abundance of specialist delicatessens and restaurants. I am sure the al fresco café culture is one of the main reasons the area has become so popular with European buyers.

Well connected?

We have two types of commuters. Those who like to use the underground tend to buy in the southern half of Between the Commons, which is serviced by Clapham South tube, and those who like to use the overland are drawn to the northern half and its connections to Clapham Junction.

And the schools?

The immediate area around Northcote Road boasts some of the best primary schools in the country for both the state and private sectors. The schools are almost too numerous to mention, but the high density is the other main pull for our typical buyers.

Hangout at...

We tend to use the Draft House for after-work drinks and Numero Uno for a proper authentic Italian experience.

Where to buy

Chatham Road, which runs directly off Northcote Road, is well placed for Honeywell School and we currently have a fantastic early Victorian cottage (see below) for sale here. The house has been beautifully refurbished and significantly extended by the current owners.

Gem of the monthChatham Road, Wandsworth SW11Dating from 1863, this renovated and extended Victorian cottage features a large kitchen and family room with integrated appliances, composite stone work surfaces, and concertina doors to a south-facing landscaped garden. £1,275,000 Rampton Baseley 020 7228 5111

DESIGNUPDATE

The architect and interior designer owner has refurbished a three-bedroom apartment near Clapham Common without losing any

of its Victorian character. Original features at the raised ground floor

property have been enhanced. The makeover paid particular attention to the joinery detailing with

fitted cupboards in all the bedrooms and entrance hall, together with elegant cornices and a superb gas

fireplace in the double reception room.French windows from the reception room, which

features impressive shelving, open out onto a rear balcony with steps down to the lawn and stone-paved

terrace.Seagrass carpet throughout is laid on acoustically

insulated boarding. Mechanical and electrical services were totally replaced five years ago and include Cat 6 data cabling,

Banham security and fire alarms, and pressurised hot water. Handy for Clapham Junction station, residential Altenburg

Gardens runs from Battersea Rise to Lavender Hill.

NEWHOMES UPDATE

Numerous high-end projects are launching in Wimbledon, reports John Nouri, director of Robert Holmes & Company

The New Year rings in new beginnings and, for many, the thought of a new home – increasingly, a brand new home.

In our corner of South West London, the new homes market has gone from strength to strength, in part aided by the steadily improving financial market, but also by the increasing desire of property purchasers to buy contemporary homes with cutting-edge technology and specification.

That is not to say the area is swathed by hoardings. Developments are mainly small-scale or one-off projects delivered by local specialists, maximising the plots of existing family houses or involving the sympathetic redevelopment of commercial premises.

With a strong new homes and development team, Robert Holmes & Company is working on a large number of new high-end projects in the Wimbledon area with developers such as Lifestyle Projects, Elling & Co, Coronado, Visu Verum and Berkeley.

Rosemary Lodge, the latest scheme in Wimbledon Village by Coronado of Putney, will comprise seven luxury houses – each 4500 sq ft – in a quiet residential road just off Ridgway. Construction has begun and the houses will be available to purchase off-plan in early 2016 (prices from £4.5m).

Meanwhile, we are marketing Greenwood

Park in the exclusive Coombe Hill Estate, currently under construction by local luxury design and build company Visu Verum.

Just three detached six-bedroom houses in a gated enclave bear the developer’s hallmarks from luxurious master suites with dressing-

rooms to bespoke high-spec kitchens, with technologies such as underfloor heating throughout and multi-room AV systems.

Nearby Coombe Hill Road is the setting for two new six-bedroom luxury properties (one remaining) from Elling & Co. Traditional exteriors

belie modern features including cinema room, wine cellar, home spa and steam room and fitness facility. A similar property is under construction by

the company on Wimbledon Parkside, due for completion this year. Berkeley’s Wimbledon Hill Park is a rare larger-scale development of

new-build family houses and apartments and conversion apartments, set alongside 19 acres of protected parkland on Copse Hill.

Two new phases are being launched: Cedar Place, comprising six new four-bedroom townhouses, and Wellington Row, which is bringing the 19th century

Atkinson Morley building back to life in the form of bespoke one to four-bedroom apartments.

PARKSHOWFour new show apartments were launched at an

open day at Oakhill Park, a gated development of mansion-style apartments and landscaped

gardens on a quiet residential road near Putney High Street. The finished front gates and entrance lobby were also unveiled.

Simon Walker, director at Savills New Homes, comments: “Oakhill Park offers something very different from other developments being built in the area. Inspiration has been taken from the traditional Georgian and Victorian mansion buildings London is famous for. They are well known for their excellent room proportions and sense of space.”

PUTNEYCHOICECarlton Gate on Putney Hill is a collection of 24 two-bedroom

apartments and three three-bedroom penthouses, set behind a faithfully re-modernist style imagined art deco

style façade.Each apartment by Henley Homes offers an open plan kitchen,

living and dining space featuring bespoke kitchens with fully integrated Miele and AEG appliances, and striking glass splash-backs. Bedrooms

are carpeted, and the contemporary bathrooms have porcelain tiling and smart white sanitary ware.

Each home also comes with a private terrace or balcony, plus the options of audio-visual packages, mood lighting and automated blinds.

HELPTOBUYTwo residents live in identical new homes. One pays rent,

one pays a mortgage, but who is paying more?At Westfield Waterside in Earlsfield, a Linden Homes

development of high quality apartments, it’s the home-owner who has more to spend at the end of the month – by the tune of up to £260.

The surprise figure is an example of the difference between Westfield Waterside’s rental values on a £549,950 two-bedroom apartment and the mortgage possibilities of buying the same home there with a five per cent deposit using Help to Buy.

On a property secured through the government-backed scheme, a customer could pay a monthly mortgage as low as £1740, based on a five per cent deposit of £27,500 and a 1.89 per cent interest rate over 25 years.

Yet according to Cound letting and estate agents in Wandsworth, that monthly cost would rise to £1800 to £2000 if renting the same property. Jon Grace, Cound lettings manager, said: “Westfield Waterside is commanding strong rental prices because it’s a unique offering in the area with good connections, the park and River Wandle nearby, and very nicely presented.”

Dylan May, land, sales and marketing director at Linden Homes South East, added: “At Westfield Waterside, Help to Buy definitely weights the balance in favour of buying over renting – lower costs, greater security and the freedom of owning your own home.”

RISINGSTAR

David Humphrey, a mortgage adviser at TSB, has won the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Rising Stars award with a plan for a building bond,

which would allow developers to use savers’ cash to build homes and pay far more than the low rates currently

offered by building society deposit accounts, because they would be linked to house prices and underwritten by local

and central government. Dan Whittaker, a risk manager at Nationwide, proposed

a rent to buy development scheme, under which tenants on new housing developments would be given a 100 per cent

mortgage to buy their home after a period of renting it, and proving that they could afford the rent.

Last year’s winning plan has since become a reality, so there is a chance that Mr Humphrey’s proposal could soon do the same.

MONEYTIPThe start of a New Year affords people the opportunity

to make resolutions on health, family and so on. However, does this review extend to your finances?

Mortgage repayments are most households’ biggest outgoing, so reviewing your mortgage could yield dividends.

If you are on SVR or coming to the end of your current offer, then it is worth reviewing your mortgage. Always work out the total cost of the deal – rate plus fees – when comparing products, rather than going purely by rate. It will differ according to the size of your loan, so checking the total cost ensures you don’t pay over the odds in the long run.Mark Harris, SPF Private Clients

FIRSTBOOSTLondon Help to Buy scheme will keep the wheels turning, reports Duncan Farmer

News in the chancellor’s Autumn Statement that he was going to slap a three per cent stamp duty levy on buy-to-let property came on the same day that The Times ran a front-page headline

suggesting interest rates were going to rise through the back door in an attempt to avert a boom and bust, particularly in the buy-to-let sector.

Mark Carney, governor of the Bank of England, had told MPs that a plan to make it more expensive for banks to offer certain types of loans was being considered. “Mr Carney admitted that the move would lead to higher interest rates because the costs would be

passed on to borrowers,” said The Times. Perhaps the opposite might now happen. If buy-to-let lenders are facing an additional

tax of as much as £7,500, lenders anxious to attract new customers may, in fact, offer them better rates than they have been.

Whether the chancellor’s move, which is likely to start a stampede of investors looking to buy before the new duty is imposed, will eventually dampen the market is also unlikely. Landlords with a long-term view may well calculate that three per cent now on top of their other costs will be immaterial over the long lifetime of their investment.

Of far better news for buyers in London was the chancellor’s announcement of a specific Help to Buy scheme in the capital, which will offer first-time buyers who can scrape together a five per cent deposit, an interest-free loan for 40 per cent of the price of their new home.

This will not only make it far easier – and give them greater incentive – to save the £16,500, for example, needed as a deposit on the average first home in the borough of Lambeth, according to figures from Savills.

The interest-free chunk of the purchase price will reduce their monthly outgoings compared with borrowing the entire amount, thus making home ownership more affordable and a mortgage easier – in these difficult times – to obtain.

With first-time buyers now able to compete on a more level playing field with investors, the mortgage market may become more competitive and costs of borrowing therefore lower.

In any event, it is good news. Although London’s property market has relied heavily at the upper end on wealthy overseas buyers, like all markets it needs people at the bottom to keep its wheels turning.

spf.co.ukHomeowners continue to take advantage of historically low mortgage rates to remortgage. According to figures from the Council of Mortgage Lenders, 70,000 loans were granted in October, of which 41,000 were for

remortgaging. Net lending rose by £3.6 billion in the same month – the highest level since

2008 – and was about a fifth higher than a year before, suggesting that the pace of the market has picked up.

According to the Land Registry, house sales also rose in September, and the number of people paying exclusively in cash fell in favour of mortgages.

HOMESWEETHOMELyle Park on Putney Hill is a grand Victorian villa that has had many guises over its

lifetime as a private house, hotel, nightclub and latterly retirement home before being transformed into apartments in 2001.

Its name derives from Mary Park Lyle, granddaughter of Abram Lyle of the sugar company Tate & Lyle, who in the mid-1950s donated money to ‘buy a house and land for Scots in London to retire to’.

Dating back to 1892 and designed by William Rolfe, Lyle Park was first known as Wynnstay and was one of many large villas with extensive grounds built along Putney Hill in the late 19th century.

The house was originally built for William Cooke, who lived here from 1893 until 1896, when journalist Alfred Henry Good and his wife Florence moved in. Among their neighbours was Charles John Dickins of Dickins & Jones department store.

According to the 1901 Census, Mr and Mrs Good lived at the address with their five children, aged from 11 to 24, and visitor Evelyn Mitchell, 21.They had six in-house servants, a cook, two parlour maids, two housemaids and a kitchen maid.

Currently for sale in Lyle Park, this beautifully presented two-bedroom garden apartment includes a contemporary kitchen and breakfast room together with a 43ft private garden and communal gardens beyond. It also offers garage parking for one car, plus communal parking.

SQUAREELEGANCEA grand four-storey, mid-Victorian house stands on the corner overlooking the lawns and trees of a fine garden square in Clapham Old Town.

Dating back to 1865, this elegant home on Grafton Square contains an annexe with living and sleeping space, kitchen and shower at the bottom of the garden. The former garage could return to its original use if you’d rather use the space for your car.

The 2500 sq ft main house has a dual-aspect double reception – overlooking the square – featuring wooden flooring, excellent plasterwork and ornamental fireplaces. At the back of the house, a sunroom looks out at the rear garden.

On the lower ground floor, a kitchen with granite work tops, Aga cooker and space for a large dining table has double doors out into the paved garden. A second reception could be used as a fifth bedroom.

Not only are there two sets of giant glazed doors in the kitchen/

diner (one bifold, the other sliding), but the Brazilian purple slate floor extends

outside from this room to create a garden terrace. The slate also continues

across the unusually large, gazebo’ed side return uniting the outside world to

the inside of the house. All rear doors and windows are made from matching olive-

green aluminium and mature vines elegantly drip from the gazebo.

Views are rather special, you can see an expertly planted cottage garden from the rear

and a part-gazebo/part-stone courtyard from the rear reception and kitchen. The kitchen is

another work of art, with an Italian composite stone worktop that partly extends as a breakfast

bar and has an integrated drainer, drop-in stainless steel Franke sink and drop-in circular compost bin.

The Smeg range is large, has five gas rings and an extra wide oven. Larder cupboards are plentiful,

down-lighters are fitted above and underfloor heating has been laid.

Four bedrooms, semi-detached, side access, wine cellar, period features, off-street parking and just off

Lordship Lane.

COUNTRYSCENESarah Simmonds of Savills Cranbrook gives South a guided tour of Goudhurst

With the distinctive white weatherboards on many of the houses and the medieval layout of its streets and alleys, Goudhurst has maintained its wonderful history, while growing into a bustling

village in the heart of the Kentish Weald.Close proximity to the A21 and Tunbridge Wells means Goudhurst

is a popular choice for London buyers, who don’t feel too isolated when making that initial move out of the capital.

The attractive village stands high on a ridge, offering wonderful views over the Kentish Weald. Even better are the views from the top of the tower of St Mary’s Church, where, it is said, you can see over 40 other church towers, and even spy the skyscrapers of London.

Local amenities are available in Goudhurst itself as well as nearby Cranbrook, with comprehensive shopping in Maidstone, Tonbridge and Tunbridge Wells. Popular residential streets in the village include the High Street, which leads onto West Road and Church Road, with many wonderful village houses.

For good local restaurants and public houses, there is an abundance of choice in and around Goudhurst, but the ones that spring to mind are the Goudhurst Inn, Green Cross Inn, or The Globe and Rainbow at Kilndown.

Sought-after state schools and many excellent private schools are within easy reach of the village, which falls within the ever-desirable Cranbrook School catchment area. The village school, Goudhurst & Kilndown C of E Primary, has a very good reputation and an outstanding Ofsted rating.

Marden Station, with regular mainline services to London Bridge and London Victoria (from 48 minutes), is five miles away, and the A21 connects to the national motorway network and the coast.

Strongest house price rises are expected in

the South East, reports Richard Smith, Savills

Sevenoaks residential head

House price growth across the UK’s mainstream markets exceeded expectations in

2015, but there is still room for further increases providing interest rates do

not rise too steeply. The timing and pace of interest

rate rises, coupled with patterns of economic growth at a regional level, will

dictate the distribution and sustainability of any increases.Over the next five years, strongest price rises are

expected in parts of south England, which offer value relative to the capital so should benefit as the ripple gains traction.

UK mainstream house prices are forecast to rise by an average of 17 per cent by the end of 2020, ranging from 21.6

per cent in the South East to 12.0 per cent in the North East, assuming mortgage rates do not exceed 4.5 per cent. Much depends on the speed of interest rates rises. If rates

rise too quickly, mainstream house price growth will be quickly curtailed. On the flipside, if rates remain low for too long, there is

a risk that prices will rise too far, creating affordability issues further down the line when they do eventually rise.

That risk has been mitigated by recent mortgage regulation, which, by stress-testing affordability, caps the amount people can

borrow relative to income. That is likely to cap price rises, particularly in London, where house price to household income ratios are highest,

thanks to growth seen over the past 10 years.London’s mainstream markets are expected to underperform its

hinterland, with average growth of 15.3 per cent forecast over the next five years, though this will range from 20 per cent to just 10 per cent

depending on specific location and post downturn levels of house price growth. In terms of the prime housing markets, commuter areas are set to

outperform prime London in the five years to 2020, with the relative value offered compared to the capital likely to underpin medium-term price growth.

Prime markets in the inner commuter (up to 30 minutes by train to London) and outer commuter (up to 60 minutes) locations have the strongest growth

prospects over the five years to 2020, at 24.5 per cent, 24.0 per cent and 23.4 per cent respectively. However, these prime markets in the commuter zone depend on movement

in prime London, which is expected to occur from 2017 onwards, after they acclimatise to a new tax and regulatory environment, allowing the fundamentals of

wealth generation, both domestic and global, to translate into restored demand.

DT Lettings Lowdown DPS.indd 1 07/12/2015 11:16

We enjoyed a very busy letting period over the summer and autumn and are now seeing a real shortage of good quality flats. These are the flats that let quickly at high rents – the poorer quality flats suffer taking longer to let understandably. Applicants are far more

discerning that they used to be. I do feel that there will be an impact over the next year from the chancellor’s announcement

regarding the lettings market, whether it is the cut on interest rate deductions or the wear and tear allowance.

In the long term it will probably mean fewer private landlords going into the buy-to-let market, some existing landlords leaving the market, or that landlords try to force rents up even higher to cover their individual costs.

On the other hand, we have seen a strong effect from pensions reform attracting new landlords to the market, giving retirees an opportunity to put their hard-saved money into bricks and mortar for a good-sized capital gain over time.

I feel that Herne Hill is still a very attractive area in which to live. We have excellent transport links, schools and many trendy bars and cafes.

The large number of parks in the area creates the feeling of suburban rather than urban, and the Herne Hill vibe is really quite exciting. The number of applicants looking around here well outweighs the number of flats available.

LETTINGSLOWDOWNLandlords and tenants are catching the Herne Hill vibe, says Petermans managing director Wendy Peterman

On the market AD.indd 1 07/12/2015 15:57

Tell us how you joined the property industry and briefly describe your career history to date.I previously worked briefly as a secondary school English teacher and a head-hunter in the City. I started working at Warren on Saturdays in 2006 to get some market insight before I bought an apartment. I really enjoyed it and respected the ethos of the owners of this longstanding independent company.

What do you enjoy about the job, and what have been your highlights so far?I enjoy meeting new people, valuing diverse property and seeing how negative perceptions of agency can change. It is particularly gratifying when satisfied clients and customers appreciate our service and refer us to friends and neighbours.

Describe the biggest challenges you face on a day-to-day basis.Buying and selling property can be fraught with high emotions. Until contracts have exchanged, both buyers and sellers can change their minds, withdraw, gazump or gazunder. Handling these situations calmly, communicating difficult news with equanimity, and always presenting your clients with options and solutions is one of the tougher daily challenges. However, seeing how everything works out in the end is very satisfying and fortifies you for the next time you have bad news to tell a client.

What advice would you give anyone considering a career in estate agency?Three Ps: people, property, positivity. If you like speaking (and listening!) to people, if you are interested in property, and if you can always find a positive angle to a situation, it is very likely you would enjoy a career in estate agency.

How difficult is the current market for homebuyers, and what advice do you give them?For as long as I have been working it has been difficult for first-time buyers to take the plunge and get a foot on the property ladder. Mixed metaphors aside, it is worth

LAST WORDAlex Nathanson, Sales Director of Warren, The Putney Estate Agent, has the final say.

remembering that estate agents are paid by vendors: don’t be surprised if estate

agents always seem positive about the market.

No one would employ a pessimist to sell their home. Equally, agents are not

soothsayers or economics professors. To get the most out of an estate agent, don’t ask

them to predict the future, but rather ask them for precise and up-to-date market information.

A good agent will have experience selling property of similar value so they can put the

price of their available stock in context.

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

Putney. I am exceptionally biased: I grew up in Putney and I now work here selling the merits of

living here. Some words written over 100 years ago in a novel by Arnold Bennett still ring true: “Putney

had clearly the advantages of a residential town in a magnificent situation. Putney was a place where you lived

unvexed, untroubled. It seemed to breathe of romance – the romance of common sense and kindliness and

simplicity.” In the interests of balance I should say that the same

novel also pointed out that one of the only apparent blots on existence at Putney was “the noise and danger of the High

Street”. Although the High Street has dramatically improved in recent years and continues to improve, many local residents

would still agree that it is not yet the jewel in Putney’s crown.
