ASKTHEEXPERTCompetition is fierce for properties with scope for renovation. What

are the best projects to consider?

Stephanie Mant of Cluttons Clapham replies...

Altering your home can add value for a future move. Whether you’re

planning a complete renovation or just a refreshing lick of paint. Here are my top tips”

Extension. Adding square footage is the closest you can get to a guarantee for adding value to your home. If you have outside space, extending your living area or kitchen into the garden is one of the most popular ways of expanding the area of your home.

Update your kitchen. The hub of the home: if you have an unmodernised kitchen, it is worth updating to add value, but don’t overspend. Keep it fresh and simple, as when it comes to selling, these designs are the most popular with buyers.

Adding a bath/shower room. The number of bath/shower rooms is key for most buyers, especially in family-sized homes where many parents enjoy having a separate en-suite to the family bathroom. Installing an en-suite or wet room will increase the appeal of your property, but only if you have adequate space. There’s no point putting an en-suite in a tiny one-bed flat.

Make your home more open plan. If you’re planning to change the layout of your home it is generally a good idea to make it more open plan. A large family room or kitchen opening onto the garden is extremely sought after, so knocking down a wall to achieve this could significantly increase your home’s value.

Loft conversion. Expanding into the roof space could turn your two-bed into a three-bed and open up your property to a host of new buyers with higher budgets. Check if you are living in a conservation area as planning permissions are stricter there, and choose Velux over dormer windows as you will not need permission for these.

Use your outbuildings. A shed in the garden can be turned into a useful addition such as a home office or a playroom, which may be practical for buyers.

MARKETVIEWA mansion tax, changes to tenancy laws

and more help for first-time buyers are some of the policies that could impact homeowners – depending on the election result, reports Jenny Knight

Knight Frank has already written to owners of swanky houses warning their property values will be hit by Labour’s mansion tax on homes worth more than £2 million.

It’s no immediate threat to those living in more modest homes – but taxes have a nasty habit of dragging us all in over time. With rising house prices, not to mention the chance of tax thresholds being lowered, it is a tax that could ultimately affect thousands of Londoners.

As for George Osborne’s scheme for a new Help-to-Buy ISA, giving a government bonus of £50 for every £200 saved for a deposit: a think tank warns it will push up house prices.

But the election need not spell gloom. Sam Sproston, of Knight Frank, says: “I think the market will likely click straight into top gear after the election. The buyers sitting on the fence will pile in with the road cleared of any hypothetical uncertainty. That sounds great news for clients looking to sell, but it will likely be accompanied with more stock coming on, so more buyers but more competition. I think it will be a busy summer whatever the result bar the unlikely event of a hung parliament. Mansion tax is still being debated and Knight Frank has some excellent ‘what if’ research on the subject available online or in any of our offices.”

George Franks, of Douglas & Gordon, is less optimistic. He adds: “We are certain property will be subjected to greater taxation regardless of who secures the victory. We expect the Conservatives to pursue council tax as a revenue generator, with central government holding back money from local councils, forcing them to up rates on properties within their borough. By contrast, Labour is expected to channel more money directly into central government through a so-called mansion tax that will be applied annually.

“Although property will be burdened by future taxes, it is unlikely that levies will be too onerous and we anticipate a relief rally soon after the election result. It isn’t in any government’s interest to stifle London or the South East. Obviously a blue hue would be preferable to ensure the property market thrives, but a red victory wouldn’t undermine price growth.

“Following the stamp duty reforms of November 2014, property priced under £937,000 will remain politically untouchable, and we forecast that the bracket will continue to grow by 5 to 10 per cent this year.”

The start of the year has been fabulous for lettings in Putney, and we have been consistently busy with properties generally letting quickly across the board.

Putney’s appeal to buyers and tenants alike remains particularly strong, and Savills Research have forecast a growth in rental prices of over 17 per cent over the next five years, alongside an estimated growth of 20 per cent in sales prices. With such encouraging prospects, we expect Putney will continue to be viewed as an excellent location for buy-to-let investors.

As well as helping individuals directly, our lettings team in Putney work closely with our Corporate Services Department, who help HR departments, relocation agents and other individuals to arrange corporate relocations in London and the Home Counties.

Putney appears to be an ideal location for many and consequently so far this year we have let four properties with that department, all in fact to families. Supporting this, of the new tenants who rented through us last year, 32 per cent cited their reason for moving as due to employment relocation, with a further 21 per cent due to lifestyle considerations.

We have two mansion block apartments on the market now that I expect will be very well received. One is in Exeter House, a fabulous development close to Putney Heath. It is a three-bed flat, on the market at £2,500 per calendar month, and, with communal gardens and a tennis court, will be perfect for families. The other is in Kings Keep, a fantastic two-bed flat with heating and hot water factored into the rent.

The family lettings market traditionally begins to pick up in spring and we have recently noticed an increased proportion of families registering with us to rent. Putney has such appeal to families, stemming from its convenient location, with easy access to central London but remaining an area with more open space and a friendly atmosphere. Alongside this, we have fantastic independent and state schools and are surrounded by wonderful open spaces including Richmond Park. Putney boasts a stunning stretch of the Thames and hosts the start of the Universities Boat Race every year from Putney Bridge.

Tenants look for a fantastic location but it is no longer the main deciding factor. They tend to expand their search radius from their original preferred location to secure a property with a top quality finish, fulfilling their most important requirement. Most tenants are far more likely to compromise on the location for the right flat with a high specification finish, than settle for a poorer condition.

There is a noticeable difference in the speed at which a property with a good finish will rent, such as the lovely two-bed period house on the market with us earlier this year on Castello Avenue at £2950 per month. We let the property within one week, having received multiple offers around the asking price. With such a positive start to the year and witnessing again the charms of spring, Putney is such a delightful place to be and we feel lucky to live and work in the area.

The best sourdough pizza money can buy in London. Franco Manca proves you don’t need to travel to Italy to taste the world’s favourite Neapolitan dish.

Where? Franco Manca began in Brixton Village and there are now seven restaurants around London. My favourite is in Northcote Road.

What’s it like? Staff are friendly, native Italian-speaking and passionate about making sure every pizza is perfect – sometimes they serve heart-shaped pizzas!

And the food? Mouthfuls of heaven. The best mozzarella in existence.

DIRECTORAfter managing Savills Cranbrook office for another

successful year, delivering record results, Sarah Simmonds has been promoted to director.

Sarah has worked in property in the area since 1998 and joined Savills in 2004. “I have thoroughly enjoyed the

last 10 years in Cranbrook and I am looking forward to the next 10 years,” she said.

INVESTINGINTHREESITESProperty investment and development company The Thackeray Estate has acquired three significant sites in Battersea, Wandsworth and Southwark with a total gross development value of £24.5 million.

Director Charles Thompson said: “These properties represent an addition to our existing portfolio of property across London, in the first quarter of 2015. Each site provides the opportunity to provide much-needed housing and prestigious office accommodation in prime areas.

“Acquiring projects typically valued from £1m to £35m including commercial, mixed use and residential opportunities in Zones 1, 2 and 3, we focus largely on investments with a three to five-year story.”

The three development sites are Latchmere Road (pictured below), Battersea; Hardwick Square, Wandsworth; and Fellmonger’s Path, Southwark.

Antony Alberti, the developer’s founding director, said: “The Thackeray Estate is building up a portfolio of properties in up-and-coming London locations that are undergoing regeneration, and we plan to take to market a series of boutique residential projects similar to our Dover House scheme of apartments in Waterloo, aimed at end users.”

‘PENSION FREEDOM DAY’ ON 6 APRIL FREED

UP THOUSANDS OF RETIREMENT PENSION

POTS. WHAT TYPE OF PROPERTY SHOULD A

NOVICE INVESTMENT LANDLORD BE LOOKING FOR?

SAM SPROSTON, HEAD OF KNIGHT FRANK

WANDSWORTHI tend to advise novice investors to follow the age-old saying ‘location, location, location’. The amount spent should be kept well within one’s

means and my personal rule is: don’t buy it unless you’d be prepared to live in it yourself.

There are lots of fantastic new developments providing guaranteed rental income (for a set period) and easy-to-calculate maintenance

costs so bills can be kept in check. Otherwise, adding value to smaller properties by adding space through

kitchen and loft extensions is a classic route to take.

PATRICK RAMPTON, DIRECTOR OF RAMPTON BASELEY

Ideally and obviously, one should buy the cheapest flat available that will rent the easiest. Having said that, I would be looking at capital growth, as yields here are only 3.5 to 4 per cent but annual growth

has been 15 to 20 per cent over the past five years.

The most rentable properties at the moment are two-bed garden flats (unquenchable demand), any type of three-bed flat (very rare), or three to five-

bed houses in the catchment area for Honeywell and/or Belleville schools (can’t get enough of them).

Talking of capital growth, we sold a three-bed catchment house in 2009 for £650,000, and we’ve just re-sold it – with no changes except being

kicked around a bit – for £1.4m.

WORD ONTHE STREET

CREATIVESPACESWimbledon Art Studios (WAS), a thriving community of professional artists based off Garratt Lane in SW17, opens its doors to the public for four days in May.

Sponsored by Jacksons Estate Agents, around 150 resident artists will showcase their creative spaces and share what they do with visiting art lovers at the event on 14 to 17 May.

First opened in 1993, WAS is now a recognised creative community spanning well-established and emerging artists. Work is extremely diverse and resident artists include painters, sculptors, illustrators, designers, photographers and printmakers.

The Open Studios event is the only opportunity for the public to visit and see the work produced. It is also an opportunity for the artists to sell their work directly to the public, and to unveil new and experimental work. More information on www.wimbledonartstudios.co.uk.

OLDSCHOOLARTBaylis Old School, the Henley Homes development in Lambeth, was the venue for Identikit II, a site-specific photography and art installation conceived by Annalisa Sonzogni.

Vauxhall MP Kate Hoey (pictured) and members of Lambeth Council attended the launch event at the scheme, which features 103 new-build and 46 converted one to four-bed apartments and houses. Six units remain priced from £495,000 to £775,000.

TAKING DESIGNTO CASUALTYPass the hammer, doctor, I’m going for radical surgery. From Casualty to house renovation, two actors prove their versatility, reports Jenny Knight

With a pokey kitchen and a garden marred by a garage on the verge of collapse, the ground floor flat immediately appealed to actors Oliver and Charlotte Coleman.

Oliver says: “We saw it would be a great project. There were two good-sized bedrooms in attractive rooms that didn’t need any work. The rest of the flat lent itself to radical changes. We could see it had a lot of potential.”

The key to their plans was the existence of the large garage at the back of the garden. It was in a grim state, but without an existing structure to knock down planners might have rejected their proposal to build a generous family kitchen on the site, linked to the house and enclosing a courtyard garden.

Oliver met his wife Charlotte while they were both starring in Casualty as Dr Tom Kent and Dr Sam Nicholls. The storyline when the doctors married foretold their real life story.

As Charlotte said: “Sam and Tom’s wedding was like a dress rehearsal for our big day. Ollie and I got engaged just before our characters did on screen - so it was a strange ‘art mirrors life’ scenario.”

It soon became clear that not only did they complement each other’s acting talents, but both had a eye for home renovation. First they masterminded a loft conversion in Oliver’s old flat in Bective Road, Wandsworth, and then looking for somewhere with more room they moved onto their big project.

Oliver says: “I am the organiser, working out the structural bit and where the lighting and electrics go. I like to do drawings showing where everything fits, down to how high the plug sockets are. Doing careful planning ensures that the building work goes smoothly and faster. Charlotte does the finishes and design.”

The couple already had a trusted builder. They applied for planning permission to install an extra bedroom/study, a stylish bathroom featuring a huge tub and a kitchen with handmade bespoke equipment and units. The project was such a success that Charlotte has launched her own design service, Smokey Design, to provide affordable style. Despite the size of the project, the renovation cost only £70,000.

Quiet please. The vast double-height central reception of this fascinating three-bedroom home in Battersea was once a haven of peaceful study and reflection in a Victorian library

building.On the first floor of the Old Library Apartments, the generous

living, entertaining and – of course – reading space has giant paned windows together with tall French doors leading to a balcony that overlooks the communal gardens.

This level also has a well-appointed kitchen, double bedroom and stairs up to a mezzanine level containing two more bedrooms and a bathroom.

Set in a private gated development off Battersea High Street, the property offers total inside space of more than 1600 sq ft plus a secure off-street parking space. Another parking space is available by separate negotiation.

Battersea Square is a short walk away and Thomas’s School is nearby on Battersea High Street. The location is also handy for Battersea Park, Clapham junction and Queenstown Road.

Estate agent Drew Zendra of Savills Battersea Park said: “The property will benefit from the upcoming development in Nine Elms, including Battersea Power Station, which will provide a number of wide boulevards offering many amenities including restaurants, shops, bars and cinemas. There are also many good bus routes in the area to take you north of the river to Chelsea via either Albert, Battersea or Chelsea Bridges.”

Tower.The 1325 sq ft three-bedroom home in one of Europe’s tallest

residential towers is superbly positioned in the building to capture fabulous river and city views both east and west. An impressive kitchen, living and dining room has sliding doors to the sky garden, and the master bedroom is en suite.

Overlooking the Houses of Parliament, The Tower at One St George Wharf features 24-hour concierge services, a gym with Thames views and a luxury spa with a pool, sauna and steam room. There’s also a cinema room, conference facilities and an industrial catering kitchen.

At 48 storeys, The Tower on the eastern side of Nine Elms is the pinnacle of the St George Wharf development and a focal point of the South Bank. Vauxhall tube, train and bus stations are easy walking distance. Nearest shopping is on the South Bank opposite Pimlico, or Oxford Circus is an eight-minute tube ride.

The newly completed Tower needs one third of the energy currently used by similar buildings. A wind turbine powers common lighting areas and a London Aquifer with heat pump technology extracts warmth from water to heat apartments during the winter. Triple-glazed windows minimise heat loss in winter and ventilated blinds between the glazing protects apartments from heat through direct sunlight.

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

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

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

As someone who grew up in Balham and worked as an estate agent in Bellevue Road, overlooking Wandsworth Common for 25 years, Robert Trindle is definitely one of the elder statesmen of the South London property circuit.

He grew up in Alma Road, then a far from smart area but now feted for chi-chi period homes, surrounded by stylish restaurants and bars.

Robert planned to qualify as a surveyor and joined a company in the West End, but almost immediately realised that selling residential property was where his heart was.

“Surveying is about buildings, but selling is about people. I didn’t like dealing in commercial property because there is no emotional involvement. I’m a people person and when you sell a house you are helping people realise their aspirations. It’s rewarding.“

After about a year in Mayfair he moved back south of the river and has remained here ever since.

He has made so many friends and contacts in the area that a trip from his office at Jacksons in Bellevue Road to the post box can involve exchanging greetings with six or more people. He is so well known as an agent who gives good, trustworthy service that he has sold successive properties for some clients up to four times.

His latest role involves client liaison with Jacksons. Jacksons now has 11 offices in South London and is about to open a new office next to Balham Station.

To celebrate 20 years since it was established, Jacksons is to publish a charter giving 20 pledges of good service and Robert is spearheading a series of initiatives to ensure all clients get the best possible treatment. One of the aims will be trying to ensure buying, selling, letting or renting is as stress-free and pleasurable as possible.

He says: “Someone has to see that all our offices operate in the same way, sticking to the company mantra so that our pledge of personal service is adhered to. The charter is so that people are aware what they can expect from us. We employ people with people skills who care about what they are doing and are happy to go the extra mile.

“I liaise with top-end clients on a regular basis, making sure they are happy with what we are doing and now we want to roll that service out to all clients, so that if anyone should feel we are not living up to our charter then they can talk to me.“

One of the joys of working in an office overlooking the common is the community spirit in Bellevue Road. Robert is a member of the Bellevue Road Association and takes part in functions and festivities. Last year he was called upon to act as judge in the dog show, selecting the dog that looked most like the owner.

He said: “There have been great changes. There was a time when the Heaver Estate was notorious for overcrowding and when the area Between the Commons was mainly tenanted. This area is much more affluent now because as houses became empty they were resold and gentrification started. Despite all the changes, the sense of community has been retained.

“The commons and open spaces are a great attraction and the choice of schooling both state and private are as good as any other part of London.”

On the waterfront with Savills. Tom Burke & Fran Moynihan, meet Jenny Knight.

Even with millions of pounds to spend the hunt for an ideal riverside property can be hard, but Savills Waterfront department makes life easier by

bringing together the expertise of its 15 local river offices from Richmond to Canary Wharf.

While many buyers are desperate for a river view, it turns out they are not so sure where they actually want to live.

Fran Moynihan, head of Waterfront sales, says: “Eighty per cent of our clients buy something they weren’t originally looking for. They may start out wanting to live in Docklands and buy in Battersea. Some people are adamant that they don’t want a modern development, but when they see inside they can’t believe how much you get: convenience, light, space and a wonderful view.

“We have buyers who, over the years, have made the journey with us along the river from east to west, ending up with a house with a garden running down to the river and a place to moor a boat. Even when people sell up in London they still want a river view when they move out to the country.“

Fran helped set up the Waterfront department based in the Battersea office to pool knowledge from the new homes department, the local offices and Savills’ international desks in Russia, Asia and Indian who refer premium tenants and buyers. She grew up in Surrey and worked for a boutique, high-end property company in Australia before moving to Savills.

“When I returned to the UK I knew Savills was the company I wanted to work for. I flew over on a Sunday and had a meeting with a recruitment agency on the Monday.“

The choice of riverside homes has increased in recent years thanks to a range of new Thames-side developments. As Tom Burke, head of lettings, says: “Each new development sets the bar higher. These immaculately maintained blocks with guaranteed parking and porters are ideal lock up and leave properties.“

Tom grew up in a village near Wigan and after taking a biology degree he travelled and worked for his father’s construction firm while deciding what career he wanted.

He said: “My dad took the mickey when I said I was going to be an estate agent but I love it. It’s fast moving and I love meeting people. The beauty of the Waterfront department is that we cover the whole river and we see so many incredible properties. It’s a market I’m passionate about.”

Rental properties on the river command a premium of about 20 per cent compared with flats without a view. Prices run from about £350 a week for a studio up to £10,000-plus for a four-bedroom apartment.

Buyers can expect to pay from £400,000 for a one-bed flat in Wandsworth up to £20 million for a penthouse in a new development with a spa, gym and swanky add-ons like virtual golf and wine cellars.

Special report by David Smith, group head of marketing at Octagon

Here we are again, five years on, in pre-general-election purdah, with our agent colleagues tearing their hair out in frustration. Their phones are rather quiet at the moment,

although the feeling is there are plenty of buyers out there, but they are reluctant to commit until they see what the returning or new government might want to do with property taxes.

However, developers and builders cannot stop and ponder for too long. We have to continue with our land buying, planning submissions and build programmes, as once the market’s appetite to buy returns, people want to buy that instant.

The good news for us at the moment is that, emerging from this quiet market, we have one, if not two, discerning individuals making the bold decision to go ahead and buy their dream Octagon home. So here we are in the pre-election void, with two very sizeable transactions underway, one in prime Surrey and the other in Hertfordshire.

We imagine the purchasers want to ensure they get their number one choice, so are not going to risk waiting until after the election, in case they lose out. They are putting their funds firmly onto what we like to think as winning horses, investments that will hold good regardless of government changes and market fluctuations.

This sort of action is always a confidence boost for niche developers like us, who focus on the high value end of the property market, and has spurred us on not to stint on location, quality and style for our next collection of family homes.

Also, our designers and buyers are reviewing everything that goes into making an Octagon home special, and that includes reviewing what our international colleagues are doing, to ensure we are always a step or two ahead of the game.

I cannot give away all our secrets, but rest assured, the fortunate few considering an Octagon house this year will not be disappointed.

DIMBLEBYHOUSEThe former home of the Richmond and Twickenham Times,

previously owned by the Dimbleby family, has been converted into eight one and two-bedroom homes.

Designed by MDP Interiors, the specification takes inspiration from its history as a printing press. Every home has metallic fixtures and fittings,

industrial-style lighting and concrete-effect tiling. MDP designer Diane Muckleston said: “We wanted to infuse creativity into

every home and each property has its own unique look. From the specially made lockers to the individually designed steel staircases in three of the five

duplex apartments, we have kept the spirit of Wickham House alive.”In the atrium, a striking mural of the old printing press has been installed in

the entrance hallway as a lasting reminder of Wickham House’s past. To honour the site’s literary heritage, every home in Wickham House has been named after

a famous 20th century writer.Four generations of the Dimbleby family published the Richmond and

Twickenham Times from Wickham House. Managing directors included Richard Dimbleby and his son David, who sold his ownership in 2001. The newspaper

moved to new headquarters in Sutton in May last year.

NEWCOMMUNITY FORWANDSWORTHLondon housing charity and developer Peabody is launching the first phase

of 153 private and shared ownership homes at its landmark St John’s Way scheme in Wandsworth. Close to Clapham Junction, the homes

are a collection of one, two and three-bedroom apartments and three and four-bed triplexes.

Sarah Butler, Peabody sales and marketing director, said: “We are excited to launch one of our largest schemes to date. St John’s Way will provide a total of 528 new homes once complete, in one of the best commuter hotspots in London. St John’s Way is of the highest architectural design, providing over 13,000 square metres of open space, commercial space and a new community hub.”

St John’s Way has been designed with a sleek exterior peaking at eight storeys in height and providing superb views of London. Designed to Lifetime Homes standards, apartments offer spacious interiors and quality specifications such as engineered oak flooring, and some have private balconies and terraces. Wandsworth Common is a short stroll away, and a number of apartments enjoy views onto the north side of the common.

James Underhill, director of London RDI at Hamptons International, said: “St John’s Way is the first of its kind in the locality. We are already receiving a great deal of interest from first-time buyers and young professional couples right through to empty nesters and investors.”

ABSOLUTEPOWERWhathouse.com’s Keith Osborne

looks at the reinvention of a London icon

There can be few buildings in London – particularly industrial ones – that instil as much affection in the capital’s residents and visitors as Battersea Power Station.

Thankfully, after 30 years of aborted refurbishment projects and deterioration since it was decommissioned, the iconic structure is finally being brought back to

life. The power station and the 42-acre site on which it sits are being transformed by a multi-billion pound regeneration scheme that is providing nearly 4000 new

homes, 250 shops bars and cafés, three hotels, over three million square feet of office and commercial space and new public open spaces.All this, along with the wider Nine Elms regeneration scheme going on around it, will

be served by a new extension to the Northern Line and a proposed new bridge over the Thames to Pimlico.

The Battersea Power Station Development Company says it aims “to build a strong, robust and sustainable community” on the site, which will encompass over 560 affordable

homes and encourage local, independent businesses to make a vibrant and individual new high street.It has enlisted a team of world-class architects to draw residents and visitors to this

new community. Big names such as dRMM, Wilkinson Eyre, Foster + Partners and Gehry Partners will each bring their own distinctive creativity to different phases of the site with some

truly striking buildings and spaces.The chimneys – among the most recognisable structures on any city skyline in the world

– are being brought down and carefully rebuilt to exacting heritage standards, restoring the building to its familiar shape by the end of 2016.So far, three phases of properties have been released at the development. At phase one, the

Ian Simpson Architects-designed Circus West, only penthouses remain for sale, priced from £7 million. At Phase 2 – the power station building itself – two-bed apartments start at £2.75 million

while at Phase 3, Frank Gehry’s Prospect Park and the Foster-designed Battersea Roof Gardens, prices for a one-bedroom property start at £1,006,000.

The first residents will move in next year, and the whole project is scheduled for completion in 2025. Find out more at www.batterseapowerstation.co.uk 020 7062 1840

APPROVALSFALLWhile house prices have generally been falling, or at

best rising slowly, prices at the bottom end of the market – typically favoured by first-time buyers – have risen the

most, possibly helped by more activity from buy-to-let landlords attracted by continuing low interest rates and rising

rents. The outcome of the general election is also putting off a lot

of people, according to LMS, a property company, which says that the fall in mortgage approvals recorded in February – the

latest data available – is caused in part by the fact that current rates are so low that borrowers have no need to remortgage.

LMS predicts that when the outcome of the election and a new government has set out its stall, the market will get far busier.

MONEYTIPMark Harris, SPF Private ClientsSaving for a large deposit is a problem in London and the South East. To help first-time buyers onto the housing ladder, the Chancellor announced a new individual savings account (ISA).

Available this autumn, the Help to Buy ISA will boost deposit savings by 25 per cent. For every £200 saved, the Government will add £50 up to a maximum Government contribution of £3000.

The Help to Buy ISA will encourage people to save rather than take on a high loan-to-value mortgage. This is a far better way of tackling high house prices as it will promote discipline rather than encourage reckless borrowing, giving first-time buyers more of a chance to make their home ownership dream a reality.

DT South Money.indd 1 13/04/2015 10:43

EASIERDEPOSITSNew scheme will help first-time buyers clear toughest hurdle, reports Duncan Farmer

“The mansion tax will save the NHS,” announced Ed Balls, the shadow chancellor, of the Labour policy that will be a key factor in its election strategy, and which will hit London

homeowners more than those in any other part of the country.Whether that policy, which has split the senior ranks of the party,

will be enough to win the election for Ed Miliband remains to be seen, but the bookmakers believe David Cameron will be returned to 10 Downing Street, and the mansion tax will be a footnote in history.

It was the Budget that led the big bookmakers to cut the odds on a Conservative victory, and one item announced by George Osborne that could be a vote winner is the new Help to Buy ISA. This rewards

first-time buyers for making regular savings which they ultimately use as a deposit on a house or flat.

If the Budget is passed by Parliament, savers will be given 25 per cent by the Government on savings up to a maximum of £12,000. In most parts of London, this is fairly small fry, but every little helps, says Ray Boulger, of John Charcol, the mortgage broker.

“The Chancellor used a 10 per cent deposit on a £150,000 property as his example but on the assumption the savings could be used as part of a 5 per cent deposit, this means the maximum purchase price to obtain the full benefit of the Government top-up will be £300,000, which will obviously rule out even the cheapest property in many parts of London,” he said. “The maximum purchase price allowed under the scheme will be £450,000 in London and £250,000 elsewhere, which is the same as the Starter Homes Initiative.”

The scheme will need to be policed to make sure the savings are not used for other purposes but Nationwide already offers a scheme whereby anyone who saves a minimum monthly amount for at least six months can apply for a 95 per cent LTV mortgage, compared with its normal maximum of 90 per cent.

Coupled with the Help to Buy ISA, this will make finding a deposit, which is the biggest hurdle young buyers say they meet, easier.

The Council of Mortgages is concerned that new European rules governing mortgages will ‘significantly disrupt’ the UK housing market and is making submissions to the Basel Committee, which has set them out, demanding they are changed.

The proposed rules would force lenders to set aside more of their own capital against each loan to avoid the prospect of a bank collapse in the case of defaults and a collapsing housing market The rules will particularly affect first-time buyers, buy-to let landlords and housing associations.

“Mortgages in the markets affected would become scarcer and more expensive if the proposals are implemented,” says the CML. “We believe that the costs imposed on both buy-to-let lending and funding for housing associations could lead some firms to withdraw from these markets altogether, reducing choice and further disadvantaging consumers.”

RIVERDALE RESTORATION

Galliard Homes has unveiled a restored Victorian mill, dating back to 1828, containing the new show apartment and marketing suite for the company’s

Riverdale House development in Lewisham.Next to a historic millpond and featuring a Victorian era

water wheel, Riverdale Mill is the only Ravensbourne River mill still surviving today. The site initially contained a leather mill,

later to become a corn mill. The mill, waterwheel and millpond now form a historic centrepiece for Riverdale House, a crescent-

shaped former office building. Standing in Lewisham town centre at 68 Molesworth Street,

overlooking the river, seven-storey Riverdale House was designed in 1981 by 20th century modernist Sir Frederick Gibberd. Restored

and converted Riverdale House and Riverdale Mill will provide a range of 137 luxury apartments with communal roof terraces, lower ground

parking and communal gardens overlooking the river and millpond. More than 60 per cent of the apartments are now sold as part of the

first phase launch, and the new show apartment is one of the studio flats. A sliding screen and bespoke shelving unit – incorporating a swivel TV –

divides the bedroom from the living area.

ASKTHE LOCALWhy Wimbledon? South asks Oliver Rodbourne, Foxtons Wimbledon sales manager

What does it have going for it?

Wimbledon has the perfect balance between town and country living with its close proximity to central London while being surrounded by greenery, village streets and grand family houses with large gardens. The history and the infrastructure add great diversity to the area, and of course the annual tennis tournament contributes greatly to Wimbledon’s popularity.

Well connected?

One of the District Line branches starts in Wimbledon almost guaranteeing a seat for passengers, and the overground trainline into Waterloo via Clapham Junction means residents can access both the West End and the City in no time at all. The buses are frequent to all South London postcodes and the A3 offers an easy way out of the capital.

And the schools?

Wimbledon is blessed with some of the best primary schools in London. Bishop Gilpin was recently voted the 22nd best school in the whole country. There’s also a Norwegian school and very good private schools such Wimbledon High and Kings College School.

Wimbledon Village is as sought-after as ever, with the development of new houses continuing to broaden the imagination of architects and developers alike. Wimbledon Park has become a more desirable location, being relatively similar to the Village as an area but with the benefit of more affordable prices.

The culinary mix in Wimbledon spans from country-style pubs on the Common to modern Thai restaurants on the high street – Thai Tho being my absolute favourite. San Lorenzo on Wimbledon Hill would be my top choice for a great Italian meal and the Brew Café does the best breakfasts in the area.

Helen Wood, associate director of Savills Bromley, takes South on a guided tour of KestonATTRACTIONS Keston village may sit within the London Borough of Bromley, but it has the feel of a typical English village. On the edge of Hayes Common, Keston has a number of local village amenities, yet it is within accessible reach of larger commuter towns.

In something of a contrast, it is close to the tranquil Keston Ponds where the River Ravensbourne rises, yet also near the grandeur of Keston Park, the exclusive residential estate that dates back to the 1930s. We find that Keston is a very popular location for buyers as it is the gateway to areas such as Bromley, Bluewater and West Wickham.

SHOPS Keston has retained its traditional village feel with no major commercial retail outlets. There is a post office, a coffee shop and deli, a village store and a farm shop.

TOP STREETS Keston has a wide range of properties including Victorian cottages, Edwardian houses and a number of new-build homes. Commonside is particularly popular, offering quaint terraced cottages enjoying an outlook to the common. There is certainly a rural feel to the lanes surrounding the heart of the village, in particular Keston Avenue, Leafy Grove and Fox Lane, with the substantial properties commanding wonderful countryside views.

RESTAURANTS AND PUBS The Double Rosette-awarded Herbert’s restaurant overlooking the common is becoming a very popular choice for diners. In addition there are two pubs, The Fox Inn, a beautifully renovated family run pub, and the Greyhound, a traditional style English pub.

LEISURE Keston Ponds are a popular recreational area for fishing and in particular walking, forming part of the London LOOP (London Outer Orbital Path) walk from Farnborough through to West Wickham. For keen horse riders, a neighbouring livery in Nash Lane offers hacking facilities, paddocks and a manège.

SCHOOLS Set in the heart of the village is the very popular Keston Church of England Primary School, which received a Grade 1 Outstanding in its latest Ofsted report. In the immediate area is also the praised Ravens Wood School for Boys.

TRANSPORT Keston village is served by two Transport for London bus links, including services to Hayes station, Bromley North station and Bromley South station, all of which provide excellent and frequent trains to London.

Richard Smith, head of residential at Savills

Sevenoaks, looks at the key themes for UK real

estate in 2015

Strong capital value growth was undoubtedly the key theme of 2014 and Savills

Research indicates a continuing capital growth across all prime

sectors in 2015, albeit at a slower rate.

In the prime regional and country house markets, London commuter

locations showed the highest level of growth in 2014, with prices rising by 3.7 per cent in the

inner commuter zone, in areas such as Sevenoaks. This year, we expect to continue to see people wanting to

upsize as well as downsize as they see property as a sound investment. In particular, Savills Research predicts the key

areas for capital value growth in the residential sector will be: London commuter towns – the price differential between

London and these towns widened further in 2014 and is likely to present opportunities for those looking to upsize without

incurring significant additional cost.The £750,000 to £1.5m market – largely unaffected by risks of

mansion tax and less dependent on mortgage finance than the mainstream, this market can benefit from those looking to relocate

and buy a property below potential tax thresholds.Three-bedroom investment stock – increasingly, households are

renting in later life stages, which enables investors to buy small family housing to bring diversity to their residential investment portfolio.

MOVETOTHE COUNTRYDig out the wellies, we’re heading for the rural dream, reports Jenny Knight

The desire to leave London for fresh country air, friendly pubs, good schools and a whacking great house attracts more and more Londoners each year.

From Tunbridge Wells to Sevenoaks to Truro, country agents are helping Londoners hunt down country havens.

Last month Knight Frank held their first Country Calling event in offices in South London to help people planning the move learn more about schooling, finance and country life.

Robert French of Knight Frank’s Clapham office said: “We plan to do it again and the event can only get bigger and better. A few clients were specially invited and others dropped in. Our Richmond office had a client looking to buy in Bath and they had someone up from their Bath office, so that was a happy co-incidence.

“So many south west London clients end up moving out. Most are in their late 30s or early 40s with children coming for primary or secondary school. Some also buy a small property in London to keep their toe in the market because prices rise so fast here.”

The big question for Londoners feeling the call of the wild is where to go: somewhere more leafy but with coffee bars and boutiques close by or further out with the smell of manure in the wind. We ask some country agents for advice ...

Guy Leaning from Chewton Rose, Cobham, says: “Cobham has open spaces and as you walk around the village people are friendly and because it is between Heathrow and Gatwick, you don’t get much aircraft noise. Londoners are surprised at the value for money – bigger rooms, bigger gardens and lovely views. Elmbridge, Guildford and Haslemere – which sells more first-class train tickets than any other station in the country – are also favourites.

Alex Herman from Knight Frank Esher says: “People moving down the A3 corridor are often attracted by a great choice of state and private schools. You can get a decent garden and extra bedroom for the price of the London house, near proper countryside but close to London. A three to four-bedroom semi near

the station in Esher costs from £700,000 to £800,000 but our main market for Londoners

moving out are slightly bigger houses with bigger gardens for one to two million.” Richard Winter, from Savills Surrey and

Berkshire, says: “Windsor and Guildford round to Sevenoaks are having a field day, while the

Cobham, Epsom market between £750,000 to £1.5 million is strong. Londoners often want a journey that

will take an hour or less, so that in an emergency they can jump in a cab and get home. After the election I

expect the market with family houses and three to four acres to take off. “Surrey is popular. You can go as far as Farnham and do

a door-to-door commute in an hour. Esher and Weybridge are great choices for commuters but Londoners can miss

opportunities by thinking their houses will sell immediately, not realising the market has slowed a little. They may also

miss the schools they want if they don’t plan the move early.”Tom Woods, of Knight Frank Winchester, says: “This is a

popular destination with Londoners. They want to don wellies and get some fresh air at the weekends. Even though the

commute costs about £5000 a year, you get more bang for your buck, so people selling a terraced house in south west London

might afford a farmhouse with a couple of acres.”Will Peppitt, from Savills country department says: “Cranbrook is

the prettiest town with black and white cottages. There are fantastic schools and a good commute. Cranbrook School is free for day pupils

who live within six miles of the school, and just across that boundary prices fall from £1 million to £800,000 for a comparable house.

“Tunbridge Wells is a beautiful spa town with a fantastic train service and Haywards Heath has lovely rolling countryside. Bromley has excellent

private gated estates with secure houses in manicured surroundings, while the pretty villages around Ashford are perfect for fast train links to the

continent and London.”

CHECKLIST Transport links: trains, roads and express coaches.

Schools: grammar, private - are there vacancies?

Facilities: shops, restaurants, coffee bars.

British voters are once again preparing to head to polling stations nationwide to cast their votes, and the general election result will undoubtedly have a sizeable impact on the property market.

Things are delicately poised politically with the outcome difficult to predict, according to current polls. As a result it is more and more difficult for landlords and vendors to make property decisions.

The uncertainty of the last couple of months, evidenced by the shortage in housing, the possibility of Labour’s mansion tax, and changes in stamp duty, for example, has forced some to put their plans on hold in anticipation of the general election outcome.

It is clear from announcements to date that house building targets, reform in the private sector, and taxes are high on the agenda. With the amount of tenants in the private rented sector ever increasing as well, this topic is also under scrutiny.

The Conservatives are pledging a delivery of 10,000 new homes for rent under market value, and are in favour of continuing the voluntary model tenancy agreements. Labour is proposing three-year tenancies (currently the majority of tenancies in London are for 12 months), which would have capped rent increases as standard. Other parties have also touched on longer tenancies with proposals that vary from three to 10 years.

This year could bring a lot of change into the lettings sector, and we wait with anticipation to see if any of these changes are going to be followed through. Once the outcome of the election is clear, we can hopefully look forward to a more stable and balanced market.

South Ad FP.indd 1 13/04/2015 11:43

Tell us how you joined the property industry and briefly describe your career history to date. I joined a central London firm as a relatively naive 20-year-old and loved getting to know the industry and the capital. After four years I moved to a boutique independent agent and specialised in selling riverside houses and apartments. Once I realised my long term career was going to be in property, joining Knight Frank was always the goal. I was lucky enough to secure a position with the firm in 2010.

What do you enjoy most about working in this market, and what have been your highlights so far? The village feel of the Old Town and Clapham is fantastic. We are getting to know local residents and business owners, and I really enjoy that part of the job.

Describe the biggest challenges you face on a day-to-day basis. Our biggest challenge at the moment is letting people know we are here and what we do. There is a perception in some instances that Knight Frank may not be interested in properties of certain values, or that we are a north of the river agent. While it is true that we are very different from any of the local agents in the area, if you are selling or letting your home, we want to talk to you.

What advice would you give anyone considering a career in estate agency? Work hard, be patient and be positive. It takes a long time to gain the experience needed to advise clients effectively on their biggest asset. A keen interest in property, architecture and economics is also helpful.

How difficult is the current market for homebuyers, and what advice do you give them? Do not over-complicate things with negotiations or take big risks for small gains. There’s nothing wrong with paying the asking price if a property meets your needs and represents fair value.

In your view, how does the South London market differ from other areas of London? Clapham market is very

LAST WORDRobert French, head of Knight Frank Clapham, has the final say

family orientated and intrinsically linked with schooling. We are lucky to have such a high quality

concentration of excellent schools.

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

West London is, and will remain, a significant corridor of affluence. The trend of people migrating south from

other parts of the capital is set to continue, leading to strong demand underpinning stable growth.

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

West London’s vast open spaces are a hub for the local communities. I’d choose an area close to Clapham Common,

Wandsworth Common or Battersea Park.

If you were not an estate agent, what career would you choose and why? A professional golfer would be my ideal

choice, but I’m not quite good enough. Another choice would be a chef. My wife and I are both foodies and watch a lot of TV

cookery shows. The fast-based environment of a professional kitchen looks great fun.
