ask the expert
How do I know that I’m getting the right valuation?
Clare Jones, operations director and lettings manager at Foxtons Battersea, replies...
To provide an expert lettings valuation, there are several factors that a valuer needs to
bear in mind. Firstly, the current market conditions
are crucial as the price of a property is often the first thing a tenant will consider
when prioritising their options. As well as this, any recent fluctuations in supply and demand and identified long-term trends are important too. A valuer should be able to look at comparable properties in the local area, as well as successful letting prices, to support their valuation. This is important as not only can you see that the valuer is active in the area, but also that they can deliver on the price they advise.
As valuing properties is not an exact science, there will always be a range of prices to consider. At Foxtons, lettings is 50 per cent of our business and as such we have a wealth of experience, ensuring that our knowledge of the market is second to none. We also have advanced technology that enables our valuers to have access to increased insight and market intelligence.
Getting the right valuation also has an impact on the type of tenants that will be attracted to your property. Unlike selling a property, letting involves ongoing relationships between the letting agent and the landlord, as well as the landlord and the tenant. It is important that you are advised by your agent on the best tenant to suit you and your property, who they currently have looking, as well as any information on who has let similar properties and at what price.
Most importantly, as no one knows your property better than you, it is crucial that the valuer listens to their client before they can provide an appropriate valuation that will suit them, the property and the area.

village vibeMatthew Thompson, head of Savills Richmond, takes South on a guided tour of his territoryATTRACTIONS There is something for everyone in Richmond, which provides a wealth of history, excellent schools, a large selection of shops and restaurants, and wide open spaces. Of particular note are the spectacular view from the crest of Richmond Hill and the sprawling delights of Richmond Park. Easy access to central London and Heathrow airport are also key selling points for British and international buyers.
SHOPS Richmond benefits from a great mix of high street favourites and independent stores. The former are on the popular George Street, while smaller jewellers, antique shops and designers are tucked behind on the cobbled lanes of Golden Court, Brewer’s Lane and Paved Court.
TOP STREETS One of the best streets in Richmond is The Green, where we are currently selling Old Friars, an exceptional and historic Grade II listed house with a guide price of £12.75m. The property enjoys an enviable position on the southern side of The Green, over which it has uninterrupted
views. Friars Lane is another popular location, where we are currently selling St Helena House with a guide price of £10m. It enjoys exceptional panoramic river views and ownership of four boathouses.
RESTAURANTS AND PUBS There are plenty of eateries to choose from in Richmond. At the top end you can find fantastic contemporary British cuisine and wonderful river views at Bingham Hotel’s Michelin-starred restaurant and the Petersham Hotel. Petersham Nurseries café is another local haunt, offering a unique atmosphere and a greenhouse setting, while La Buvette and Chez Lindsay offer delicious French favourites.
LEISURE Richmond has two theatres and three cinemas showing box office hits and art house classics. With the Thames on the doorstep, there is plenty to do for rowing and sailing enthusiasts, while Ham Polo Ground and Richmond Golf Club provide entertainment for those who prefer to remain on solid ground.
marketviewAdults are spending more time in the kitchen, so kit yours out well,
suggests Cheryl Markosky
Thanks to Jamie Oliver’s comfort food and Mary Berry’s retro brandy snaps, the average person spends more than five hours cooking every week.
These days, a kitchen with a multi-functional oven to bake artisan bread and wok burner to simmer jam is practically a necessity.
Steve Jones, managing director of Bellway Homes South East, has all these amenities in the properties he’s marketing at The Old Dairy in Streatham (selling through Foxtons). “The kitchen is the hub of the home: it’s where you serve guests, but also where you feed your family,” he says.
“Both men and women choose their house largely on the kitchen,” notes Ed Mead from Douglas & Gordon. “Size and light are vital, but overcomplicating a kitchen is inadvisable, whereas direct garden access is a winner.”
He advises vendors to enhance versatility, producing a room that suits a single person, couple or family. “Soft seating, a low but large table and flat-screen TV create that much-coveted living room feel.”
“If your kitchen’s small, use clever storage solutions and integrated appliances,” advises Luke Bishop from Wooster & Stock Camberwell. “Many purchasers want all the white goods, so be clear about what’s included in the sale early on.”
Bishop says expensive properties need higher spec. “Butler sinks complement period homes. Quality countertops make a difference too – solid oak beats laminate.”
Vendors should establish their target audience – a family wanting open plan space so parents can mind children, or a sociable couple – and tailor the kitchen accordingly, argues Matthew Thompson of Savills Richmond.
“For viewings, keep hobs, ovens and surfaces clean and clutter-free. Fruit or fresh flowers enhance the ambience,” he adds.
A kitchen is no longer just where you prepare meals, but a communal space where kids do homework, guests sip a drink and adults catch up on the box set of True Detective, according to Noel Lawrence at Kinleigh Folkard & Hayward Tooting.
“From a buyer’s perspective, it’s the make-or-break room. Gadgets don’t need to be wildly expensive, but they do need to be relatively new and spotless,” he says.
“Seating’s also important: a bar area or room to place a dining table is often a requirement,” Lawrence explains. “Lighting plays a big role as well, so under-counter illumination, hanging pendent lamps and big skylights feature heavily in today’s designs.”
With smart thinking, the kitchen could become the most popular room in the house – and help clinch that sale.
Sir John Major, Britain’s Conservative Prime Minister from November 1990 to May 1997, bought a house on Cleaver Square in the Kennington division bell zone in the 1990s.
One of the biggest attractions of the square for cricketing fanatic Sir John was its location halfway between the House of Commons and the Oval, home of Surrey Cricket Club, of which he is a past president. His political neighbours on the square included Jack Straw (Labour) and Paddy Ashdown (Lib Dem).

the wordSpecial report by Simon Hardie, sales manager of John D Wood & Co Clapham
The last 18 months have been incredibly exciting for South West London with unprecedented numbers of buyers looking
to invest here. This is hardly surprising when you consider that
between Balham and Clapham we have some of the most accessible open spaces in the capital, as well as excellent public transport directly into the City and the West End, and a high number of independent shops, cafes, bars and restaurants.
Both Lambeth and Wandsworth boroughs have seen dramatic price growth over the past year. According to the Land Registry, prices in Lambeth rose 28 per cent from July 2013 to 2014 (the second biggest rise across the whole of London), with Wandsworth not far behind with price growth of 22.5 per cent in the same period.
Despite this, there is still value to be found in the area, especially for those moving from other more central London boroughs. The streets around Clapham South tube station have been a particular focus for many buyers looking for development potential.
Since the end of August we have seen a rise in the availability of property in the area, which sets the tone for a healthy autumn market. Several reasons have contributed to this including downsizing by sellers who simply don’t need the space any more, young couples who are planning families and have outgrown their two-bedroom flats and are looking to trade up, and finally a definite trend of young families deciding to move out of London to the wide open spaces of the British countryside.
While period homes still command a premium, new home developments are adding a tasteful modern edge in the area, with more potentially planned over the next few years. These new developments with their secure parking and low maintenance costs are increasingly popular as pieds-a-terre with British buyers thanks to the area’s excellent transport links.
There is an incredible buzz about Clapham and Balham, a direct result of the eclectic mix of people who choose to call it home, together with the abundance of bars, pubs, restaurants,
cafes and speciality food and wine shops mixed in with the useful supermarkets, dry cleaners, hairdressers, cobblers and hardware shops.
Abbeville Village alone has seen the addition of three new establishments this year: the charming Kerbisher & Malt for a modern twist on traditional fish and chips; Comensal for excellent Mexican cuisine (or happy hour cocktails); and Bottle Apostle, who have regular events scheduled in partnership with local suppliers for food and wine tastings throughout the day.
This is an area that continues to evolve. If accessibility, location and desirability are on your checklist of must-haves, there is no better place to purchase south of the river.

Where? On the corner of Bellenden Road and Choumert Road.
What’s it like? There’s a buzzy atmosphere and it’s always busy, but sadly it has a no-booking policy. You often have to queue but you can do that in the Montpelier pub, where you’ll get a 10 per cent discount while you’re waiting. They phone you when your table is ready.
And the food? It’s fabulous, tapas-style, Thai street food with a good range of choices for both veggies and meat-eaters. Reasonable prices tempt you to return another time to try more from the regularly changing menu.

Glass palace in the clouds is fit for James Bond
You might think a bachelor banker or trendy trader is certain to inhabit one of London’s pre-eminent penthouses on the Thames. But this funky and
fabulous glass home in the clouds – now for sale – is home to Yugoslavia-to-Yale ice hockey player and fund manager Zoran Kozic and his sons Alexander, 13, and Ryan, nine.
Whereas many family houses come with a swing, garden and basketball hoop in the drive, the Kozics instead enjoy views of Chelsea Harbour and the London Eye, football games in nearby Battersea Park, and competitions on ping pong and ice hockey tables in the immense dining and living room.
“The boys love it here,” says Kovic. “They think they’re living in a James Bond place.” He believes the penthouse, originally meant for architect Richard Rogers in the glass-and-steel Montevetro building he designed, is more family-friendly than a house.
“In a typical Victorian townhouse, you’re constantly going up and down floors and the rooms are tiny. Here there are large open spaces measuring nearly 3000 sq ft spread over just two levels.”
Kozic says his former interior designer wife, Ghislaine Nassif, who runs an interiors and art gallery in her house on Albert Bridge Road, devised the apartment with their family in mind.
“It was planned around the kids. It’s not a party place but could easily be turned back into something that suits a man-about-town or professional couple keen to entertain,” he suggests.
Another big plus for any occupant is that as well as enjoying open loft-style living in the voluminous reception room on the eighth floor, a more private existence can be discovered on the level below. The main bedroom suite, leading onto a large balcony, runs along the river, while two more bedrooms, also with access to balconies and bathrooms, are situated at the back.
And the penthouse is topped out with a ‘secret’ mezzanine floor with a balcony large enough to hold a goal for the family’s hockey fanatics (Ryan is a forward for Toronto Red Wings AAA team and Alexander just attended hockey camp in Mississauga, Canada).
A few tweaks have been made to add more familial warmth and colour: “The apartment was a bachelor pad with no soul,” comments Kovic. A waterfall has been removed from the main reception zone, a walk-in shower has replaced the bath in the master suite, and lively modern art now covers the walls.
Selling agent Fran Moynihan from Savills Waterfront points out that all residents benefit from Montevetro’s facilities including lifts, gym, tennis court, 24-hour concierge service and underground parking (two

spaces are allocated for the penthouse).Who does she think will buy the Kozics’ top-deck
penthouse now that it’s time for them to move to Switzerland, where there are more ice-hockey rinks and coaching?
“The Kozics are living here happily so it goes to show you can’t pigeonhole purchasers,” she explains. “People are starting to realise you get a lot more space for your money here than north of the river.”
Whether they bring their kids with them, so they can rollerblade to school and visit the zoo in Battersea Park like Ryan and Alexander, is another matter. But family values are just as evident in this Rogers’ cutting-edge edifice as they are in a period Fulham townhouse.
Zoran Kozic is also selling a one-bedroom flat for £750,000 and a £1.8m three-bedroom flat at Montevetro through Savills Waterfront.

Stock levels improveHouse prices in England and Wales look set to end the year up 8.5 per cent and by 5.5
per cent in 2015, reports Hamptons International. In its updated forecast, the agent warns that the pace of growth is beginning to
soften as sentiment weakens, affordability constraints start to bite, and both buyer and seller expectations of future price growth moderate.
The approaching general election is adding to caution in some sectors of the market and this, combined with rising interest rates, is likely to mean weaker price growth throughout 2015. Prices in Greater London are forecast to rise by 15.5 per cent in 2014 and 3 per cent in 2015.
Fionnuala Earley, Hamptons director of Residential Research, said the rate of house price growth so far in 2014 has been a little higher than expected. “Prices have been driven largely by London and the South East, but a change in sentiment over the rate of future price growth has affected the whole of the country,” she said.
“For those already in the market who have been waiting for a peak in prices, there is now a greater incentive to sell. This should lead to an increase in stocks of existing property for sale, which in turn should help boost liquidity and the level of activity. That switch has already happened in London, where stock levels are improving as many choose to cash in and move to commutable areas outside the capital.”
More landlords are giving a warm welcome to petsWhen Yvonne Van Den Broek and her husband Laurens moved from the Netherlands earlier this year, they wanted to rent a home where landlords would welcome their cats too.
“I knew I had to be organised when I moved here. I didn’t want to have to hide my cats and run the risk of being kicked out of the property if the landlord found out,” said Yvonne, pictured with her two Siberian pedigrees, Blini and Polly.
Previously some agents suggested getting her cats declawed – or even re-homed – but Mountgrange Heritage found the couple and their cats a suitable home under their successful Pet Friendly Lettings scheme, which matches pet owners with properties.
Liz Thomson, director and head of lettings at the company, said: “Since we launched the scheme 18 months ago, 20 to 25 per cent of our landlords have signed up, and this number is continuing to grow.”
Tenants leap across the ThamesPrime London has seen rental growth of 1.4 per cent in the past three months, according to latest Savills statistics, driven by the family house market and an increase in corporate relocation budgets.
In South West London, a highly competitive sales market has increased rental demand from singles and sharers, creating good rental growth for flats and smaller properties, up by 2.2 per cent. Five-year forecasts for both the London mainstream and prime London rental markets remain positive at 25.8 and 20.4 per cent respectively.
At Savills Wandsworth, Roisin Anderson has joined as a lettings negotiator. She has three-and-a-half years of lettings experience in the area and previously worked for a design company, so is well placed to advise landlords on how best to present their properties.
Charlotte Corner-Munroe, head of Savills Wandsworth Lettings, said: “We are seeing applicants leap south of the river, where the properties tend to reflect better value for money.”
New offices in Richmond and East SheenMarsh & Parsons is continuing its expansion with the open of two branches in Richmond and East Sheen to support the existing office in Barnes.
Both Richmond and East Sheen offices have undergone a state-of-the-art at a combined cost of £400,000, including a media wall at Richmond branch. Rex Chambers is sales manager at Richmond and David Hill at East Sheen.

Alex Howard Baker, head of Savills Putney
The five-year forecasts from Savills Research predict that mainstream UK market values will increase by 25.7 per cent
by 2018. While growth of 31.6 per cent is predicted for the South East of England, house prices in London are expected to rise by a more modest 24.4 per cent, due to affordability constraints.
While these will limit the capacity for price growth, in prime markets, growth of 22.7 per cent is still predicted by 2018 in outer London. This marks a return to normality in Putney, after exceptionally fast growth over the past five years of up to 86.3 per cent in some instances and an increase of 16.1 per cent between 2013 and 2014 alone.
Sam Sproston, head of Knight Frank Wandsworth
This figure seems high to me but as usual lot of numbers have been
mooted. We published our own research at the end of quarter four in 2013 predicting a cumulative growth of 24 per cent for the UK to the end of 2018. A competitor quoted 26 per cent.
Personally I can see this as perfectly plausible judging on the growth we have seen over the last few years. However, we do not know what effect the tightening of mortgage regulations will have on the market and therefore price growth. Our research department has produced some excellent publications on forecasting and these are available to view on our website.
Will UK house prices rise by 32 per cent by 2018, as recently forecast by one high-end agent?

Four new mansionsSuper-prime developer Consero London has unveiled details of four new classical mansions in Surrey, with a combined completed value of around £145 million, to be launched in the next 12 months.
Founded in 2004, Consero London operates in London and the Home Counties and has built and sold luxury properties valued at over £1 billion, typically ranging from up to 45,000 sq ft in size, priced from £5 million to £60 million. A selection of the developments are design-and-build commissions for private clients, the balance are speculative developments for prestige open market sale.
Furze Croft, the first of the four mansions, launched in September priced £17.5 million. Located off East Road in the prestigious St George’s Hill estate in Weybridge, the newly built classical mansion provides almost 16,200 sq ft of luxury living space set in 1.74 acres of landscaped gardens and grounds.

For whom the bell tolls in the parliamentary zoneThe division bell area around Westminster is loosely
described as anywhere within an eight-minute dash of the House of Commons, for MPs called to
cast their votes in Parliament.Kennington in the division bell zone is a popular
location for MPs, as well as peers, judges and other professionals. The area is also reaping the benefits of billions of pounds worth of regeneration investment in neighbouring Nine Elms and Elephant and Castle.
Kennington’s peaceful Cleaver Square, where Prime Minister John Major lived in the 1990s, currently has a superb Grade II listed Georgian townhouse for sale on its coveted south-western side. The present owner has lived here for 21 years, constantly maintaining and sympathetically improving the home during that time.
The English Heritage Survey of London 1956 (volume 26) praised the house’s impressive wood door case with a pediment on fluted brackets – the only one of its kind on the square. York stone steps and iron railings lead
to the front door and a raised ground floor that’s higher than its neighbours.
One of the square’s largest houses, it has 35 per cent more space than the average. A double-aspect, triple-length drawing room has a reclaimed solid wood floor, and the lower floor features a formal dining room, wine cellar, fully fitted kitchen and breakfast room, and a home gym. The upper two floors contain four double bedrooms, two overlooking the square.
An integrated Bose sound system with four zones serves the entire house and the walled 57ft rear garden, which contains a garden room for al fresco dining and entertaining. Just listen out for the bell.

Grand Dulwich mansion designed by Sir RobertSir Robert Taylor, eminent 18th century English
architect and surveyor to the Bank of England, was the designer of this grandiose Grade II listed
Georgian house close to Dulwich Village.One of his first major projects and another fine
example of his work was Asgill House, built in 1760 on the banks of the Thames in Richmond for successful banker Sir Charles Asgill, Lord Mayor of London. Four years earlier, Sir Robert had designed Sir Charles’s London banking house at 70 Lombard Street.
Trained as a mason and sculptor, Taylor received important commissions such as carving the pediment on the Mansion House in the City. Yet he decided his talents would be put to better use as an architect, and he became one of the most prosperous and prolific of his day, succeeding Sir William Chambers as Architect of the King’s Works.
Pond House, on leafy Village Way north of Dulwich Park, was built the year before Asgill House when Taylor was aged 45. Living space of more than 7000 sq ft on
six floors includes a partially panelled hallway, dining room with intricate Victorian plasterwork detailing, grand drawing room, Smallbone kitchen, and a conservatory with views across the garden.
On the lower ground floor, a large reception was once an indoor swimming pool and could easily be reinstated. The master bedroom suite covers most of the first floor, and the top three floors have another six double bedrooms and three bathrooms – two with Jack and Jill entrances.
With a triple garage and off-street parking, the property is surrounded on three sides by a superb garden featuring a listed iron bridge, and a lawn centred around a statuesque cedar tree.

Supermodel havenA house once divided into grim bedsits is transformed into a chic home and photoshoot venue, finds Cheryl Markosky
When supermodel Linda Evangelista proclaimed: “We won’t wake up for less than $10,000 a day,” you can imagine top catwalk babes
living luxurious lifestyles. Which is why it’s ironic that Kate Moss, Jerry Hall and Yasmin Le Bon have happily crossed the threshold of a house on Surbiton’s Oak Hill Road once carved into 10 sad-looking bedsits.
Rescued in 2006 by Janne Bissell, a Danish interior and fashion designer for Vibeke UK, and her celebrity photographer husband, Chris, the former grim house of multiple occupations is now home for the couple and their offspring, Nancy, 22, and Ashley, 20 (pictured).
As soon as Janne saw the outside of the Victorian dwelling, she was hooked: “The house found us, we didn’t find the house.” However, it took four months to gain access as the tenants had to give permission for the Bissells to enter, and another 18 months to clinch the deal.
Chris wasn’t as enthusiastic as Janne. He couldn’t work out why they needed a property measuring nearly 3600 sq ft. To justify owning the grand, five-storey house, Janne said it ‘had to earn its living’ so it’s also a chic venue for photo and video shoots.
The location business has added another dimension to the renovated wreck. As well as long-limbed models, other luminaries who’ve turned up for their close-ups include Emma Watson, Adele, Holly Willoughby, Kirsty Allsopp, and Torvill and Dean.
“I opened the door to Jerry Hall one day, which was quite surreal. And I was wowed by Kate Moss, who was lovely,” recalls Janne.
Chris, who’s well known for CD covers, Athena posters and magazine shoots, has snapped pictures of model Paula Hamilton, Game of Thrones’ James Cosmo and the Monty Python cast.
“The house has a great vibe,” he says. “I shot Suggs’s album cover here, along with the England rugby team and Britain’s Got Talent’s Lucy Kay.”
And yet it’s been a bit of a business getting the house up to supermodel standards. The second floor had to be sealed off – the culprit was a stinky cesspit tank – while the family resided on another level.
Another place to avoid was the top floor, with its spooky warnings about punishing sinners, crosses on lights and the strong odour of incense. “No one would go up there,” remembers Janne.

Today, the shabby chic townhouse is a delight but it’s time for the Bissells to move on as the children leave the nest.
Gene Kelly of Hamptons International’s Kingston branch says the six-bedroom property – the only house in the street not split into units – could suit a family from central London wanting more space for their money. And it might even suit a supermodel.

Where do you live?Balham.
What and where was your first London home?Having lived overseas for many years, I moved into a flat just off Wandsworth Bridge Road in Fulham.
Favourite open space in London.Our local commons: they have playgrounds, ponds, lido, cafes, and of course an ice cream van for an obligatory 99.
What do you consider your greatest achievement? Just getting to 40!
If you could edit your past, what would you change?I would have loved longer with my mother and for her to see her namesake, my daughter Emilie, grow into the wonderful little toddler she is.
How do you relax?I spend time with Emilie, or out shooting clay pigeons in the country.
Aside from property what’s your most expensive purchase?A lovely original painting by the artist
Yvonne Coomber. She is inspired by local flowers, hedgerows and skies in Devon.
The book that changed your life.The 4-Hour Work Week by Timothy Ferriss. While property is more than a 50-hour working week, it really made me realise that you can achieve a better work-life balance.
Which living person do you most admire and why?Rather than any one individual, I have such admiration for people who work in hospices and give so much care and love not only to patients but also to their families. They really are special people.
What is your most treasured possession?My daughter Emilie, and a beautiful bracelet given to me by my mother.
What is your favourite album?It has to be one by Kate Bush or Tears for Fears (showing my age).
What is your guiltiest pleasure?A good bottle of wine, a melting chocolate pudding and a trashy TV show once the house is silent and everyone is in bed. Although that’s not a daily occurrence!

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.

New homes updateSpecial report by David Smith, group head of marketing for luxury homes developer Octagon
Looks like we are in for an interesting autumn in the property industry, and as usual
we have a number of conflicting views on how the market is performing.
As the volume house builders report the Help to Buy scheme has triggered record profits, my agent friends tell me that their purchasers
are at the thin end of the wedge, with their ‘reserve to exchange’ process taking around twice the expected time.
There are several contributing factors and here are just two: the new mortgage applications are highly searching and offers do not come back by return, plus we seem to be undersupplied with surveyors who value the properties for the lenders, causing a backlog, and adding to the delays.
Even at the luxury sector, where mortgages are normally not required, the run up to exchange is taking its time, but looking at it from the buyer’s point of view, if I was investing several million in a new home, I would be making very sure the property comes up to the mark.
Fortunately, our clients find assurance in the fact that they are buying an established marque with very high standards of build, and often, after extensive comparisons of what else is on the market in their price range, they feel confident in finally choosing Octagon.
In the last few weeks we have got our second most expensive house ever built under offer at around £17.5m. It is on the Wentworth Estate and is absolutely stunning, so I am not really surprised it was snapped up so soon after the launch. We also have high hopes for the next one launching right now: Saddle Stones (pictured), a £9.5m classically built detached house on the best road on the St George’s Hill Estate in Weybridge, Surrey.
Octagon homes in the £9m to £18m bracket are obviously in very prime locations, and in both these cases, as well as interior specification at an advanced level offering passenger lifts, fitness spas, cinema rooms and separate staff accommodation, they both featured exceptionally beautiful gardens complete with ornamental swimming pools.
Looking ahead, we are coming into the building awards season when all the major (and minor) players turn up at West End ballrooms hoping their name is going to be announced as a winner. They then have every excuse to celebrate into the small hours, possibly mislaying the trophy in the process.
Taxi drivers at this time of year always report a higher-than-average number of gilded figurines and framed certificates discovered on their back seats, and miraculously the majority are returned to their rightful owners – eventually.
Octagon is a loyal supporter, always submitting our best schemes, and here’s hoping we might push our award count over the 200 before the year is out.

Sisters doing it for themselvesThe sisterhood is strong, as demonstrated by
Princess Elsa and her relationship with her wisecracking younger sibling, Anna, in the Disney
film, Frozen.Those living south of the river who’ve seen Frozen at
least a thousand times with offspring or grandchildren can relate to the sisterly property equivalent: Augusta and Sophia Houses on Wimbledon’s Ellerton Road.
Named after a Victorian princess, first-born Augusta is embellished with a kitchen and family room leading onto an outdoor terrace, sitting room with its own bar, handcrafted oak staircase, marble and parquet floors, cinema, wine room, indoor pool, sauna and steam room.
Augusta might not be an actual ice palace like Elsa’s, but her bespoke credentials, extensive spaces and regal extras, such as a dining room with a servery for caterers, will provide a luxury lifestyle for her lucky occupants.
Thea Heaton, sales manager of Newcourt Residential, the developer behind the boutique scheme, cites the balance between mod cons such as a media system and underfloor heating alongside reclaimed Welsh
slate roof tiles, large architraves and custom-made wardrobes and cabinetry.
Recognising Newcourt’s thoroughness in quality and finish, a Russian buyer has already made an offer on semi-rural Augusta, says Robert Holmes from Robert Holmes & Company. “There’s massive attention to detail and superb views over the Royal Wimbledon Golf Club from the rear living room.”
For those worried they might have missed out, younger sis Sophia House will be launched to the world in a few weeks. Not an identical twin, Sophia’s a bit smaller by 500 sq ft but has a larger garden.
New properties are in vogue in Wimbledon and the modern living represented by this charming twosome is raising the bar in the area, adds Holmes.

“Buyers have been attracted by the regeneration opportunity of both the building and Lewisham town centre, and easy access to the City and Canary Wharf”David Galman, Galliard Homes
River revivalMore than 60 per cent of sales at Riverdale House
in Lewisham have been to Asian and Indian buyers attracted by the regeneration opportunity
provided by the project, and easy access to the City, reports developer Galliard Homes.
Over half of the 137 luxury apartments at Riverdale House are now sold as part of the first phase launch, with the next phase due to be released in September, coinciding with the opening of a new onsite sales suite.
David Galman, Galliard Homes sales director, said: “The first phase release of apartments have all sold off-plan. Purchasers have been a combination of domestic and overseas end-user and investor buyers, with over 60 per cent originating from the Asian and Indian communities.”
Designed by Sir Frederick Gibberd and overlooking the River Ravensbourne and parkland, seven-storey Riverdale House is a landmark former office building converted into a riverside scheme of studio, one and two-bedroom apartments complete with communal roof terraces, lower ground parking, reflection pool and historic Victorian mill with retained water wheel.
The wider regeneration plans for Lewisham are impressive, says Galliard. The area has already seen the construction of several multi-storey residential buildings
and a new leisure centre. Lewisham Gateway is the local authority’s plan to redevelop the area with the re-routing of two rivers, and the creation of new amenities such as shops, restaurants, bars, cafes, leisure facilities and up to 800 homes.

On the moveProperty market is on a more solid footing and confidence is high, reports Duncan Farmer
The surprise jump in average property prices
over the summer should really come as no surprise. Mark Carney, the new Governor of the Bank of England, has sought many times to reassure the market that when interest rates do rise from their historic low levels, that rise will be gradual.
With unemployment falling and the UK economy performing better than in mainland Europe, confidence among people with jobs is high. And people will always need to move, not just for the desperate reasons of debt, divorce and death, but simply because they have a growing family that needs more room and a career that is progressing well enough to allow them to finance such a move.
Statistically, however, house prices when compared with affordability indicators, such as earnings are not spectacularly – or unaffordably – high. According to Nationwide, the average long-term ratio of house prices to annual incomes is about 4.5 times. At present it is running at 5.5 times, but at the height of the boom in 2007 it was nearer 6.5 times.
This still makes UK property affordable and appealing to overseas buyers on whom London is especially reliant. The ratio was at a similar level in 2004 when the Bank of England’s base rate was five per cent – far higher than it is now. If house prices could continue rise to then, as they did, what statistically is to stop them continuing?
Borrowing money in those days was far easier than it is now, and the Mortgage Market Review, which was instituted to prevent reckless lending, has had an effect: mortgage approvals fell by 20 per cent this summer, compared with a year ago. This has not halted house price growth and may well turn out to have put the property market on a more solid footing, as borrowers are far less likely to default on their loan because the lending criteria had initially been so strict.
The current rate of arrears and repossessions is low and falling. The level of indebtedness in Britain is high – although not as high as many other European countries – but the people with unmanageable debts, such as those using payday lenders, are very different from those with jobs and mortgages.
There are few indications in the wider economy that suggest people cannot afford to move: new car sales rose 10 per cent in July on a year ago, with marques such as BMW, Mercedes and Jaguar all up by far more. In spite of the continuing rising cost of higher education, youngsters are still going on to study at university but not before they’ve taken an exotic gap year, usually at their parents’ expense.
And when they graduate, it will often be their parents who finance their first step on the property ladder, thus completing the cycle on which the property market depends. The stock market has yet to indicate that all is not well in the property world: shares in housebuilders are not far off their 12-month highs.

Current Best Buy MortgagesSource: SPF Private Clients Fixed Rates
moneytip£ The hysteria surrounding the
hiking of the bank base rate has subsided again, with the economic
news since early August dampening down speculation.
However, it is no real surprise. If you listened carefully, Bank of England Governor Mark Carney never stated that interest rates are definitely going up – there were plenty of ‘mights’ and ‘maybes’. We still expect the next rate rise to be at least a year away.
Whenever a rate rise does come, borrowers will inevitably be concerned but any increases are likely to come slowly. In the meantime, a fixed rate will provide certainty and help with budgeting. Historically, fixed rates are also excellent value.
When I worked at NatWest in 1991, one big advantage of working in a bank was a subsidised mortgage at the rock-bottom rate of 5 per cent. It was a massive perk. Nowadays pretty much anyone can fix for five years at less than 3.5 per cent, proving what terrific value there is to be had.

First Direct goes lowFirst Direct has launched the lowest five-year fixed rate on the market: 2.89 per cent for buyers with a 35 per cent deposit and carrying a fee of £1450. Its launch marks the revival of longer-term fixed rates below 3 per cent after a period when lenders were pushing up fixed-term borrowing.
Barclays also has a five-year fixed rate deal at 2.99 per cent, but this is only available to those borrowing at least £500,000 and putting down a 35 per cent deposit. The First Direct mortgage is open to anyone borrowing up to £1 million. Previous low rates were 3.09 per cent.

We can lend you a cat tooForget cash-back deals, short-term discounts or introductory offers, a Russian bank is offering housebuyers a free cat if they take out a mortgage.
In Russia, it is a sign of good luck if a cat is the first to cross the threshold of a new home. Borrowers are given a choice of ten breeds but can keep the animal for just two hours – enough time to take a few photos but not for the cat to scratch the furniture.
Mortgage moderationMortgage approvals fell in July, matching expectations, according to latest figures that pointed to some moderation in the housing market.
The Bank of England said mortgage approvals numbered 66,569 last month, down from 67,085 in June, although analysts had forecast a fall to 66,000. Monthly mortgage approvals are still short of the 90,000 level seen before the 2008 financial crisis, and below a recent peak of more than 76,000 in January.

Iconic corner houseNext to Wandsworth Common, on
the corner of Bolingbroke Road and Honeywell Road, a semi-
detached house combines generous living space and superb views with a large garden and off-street parking.
Renovated around five years ago, the house Between the Commons has been well looked after by the current owners. The rear of the house has been totally opened up to create a wonderful family space with a contemporary kitchen containing a central island, dining area and sitting space, all with access to the garden.
The open plan kitchen, dining and living space is flooded with natural light from bi-fold glass doors and a large lantern-style skylight. The front of the
house has a separate drawing room, and the basement provides children’s play space and a utility room.
Six bedrooms include a master suite with an ornamental fireplace, walk-through wardrobe, en suite bathroom and rooftop views. Most of the other bedrooms include built-in storage.
Its corner position at the top of the street means the house is hardly overlooked. Entertaining space is ideal for children’s parties – with overflow onto the common metres away – or grown-up gatherings on warm summer evenings.

Influx after the exodusNow the summer holidays are over, people are starting to get ‘back to normal’ once more. It never ceases to amaze me just how big the exodus from SW London is in July and August, and this year has seemed more pronounced than ever.
I always used to wonder who all these lucky families were that could disappear for five or six weeks of the summer, and had always assumed that they all had some wonderful holiday homes in sunnier climes to which they could decant.
As someone pointed out the other day, however, it’s not just holiday homes but there are also parents and grandparents to visit and to be honest, for those with children, the idea of extra pairs of hands over the school holidays must be a welcome relief.
On the flip side, I’m still confused by the number of younger people, without children, that also seem to vanish over the holidays. Surely no one would willingly pay hiked-up holiday prices to go away during school holidays unless they absolutely had to? Anyway, if anyone has the answer to the above, do please drop me a postcard (from wherever you are) and let me know.
The autumn market is now upon us and it’s amazing how quickly things have picked up again. September, October and November have always seemed like a secondary market to the usually busy spring, but this year the uncertainty of the spring market led to far fewer transactions than expected.
Prices have now come down and stabilised so the new influx of buyers certainly seem to be in the mood to pick up a good deal and get everything closed out before Christmas. It’s clear that we’re going to be busy again, which is very welcome.

Converted school houseThis magnificent converted school house is one of
Clapham’s landmark buildings. A totally unique property measuring in excess of 6,700 square
feet. The accommodation has been cleverly arranged to maximise the feeling of space and light.
The property has tremendous volume with a double height ceiling in the main reception room which measures approximately 36ft x 35ft. It is clearly a superb property for entertaining but also works equally well as an everyday family home.
There are five good bedrooms in the main house all benefiting from ensuite bathrooms or shower rooms. There is an extra bedroom and bathroom designed as staff quarters with its own separate access. There is plenty of scope to redesign the interior to suit the incoming buyers’ needs. As it stands there is an entrance hall leading to the main reception room, a media room, utility room, ground floor wc and an impressive kitchen dining room. Concertina doors open to an attractive patio courtyard. Another huge benefit is the internal garage which is big enough to accommodate most large modern cars.
Macaulay Road is arguably Clapham’s premier street, the open spaces of Clapham Common are at the end of the road and the amenities of the old town are moments away. Transport can be found at Clapham Common underground.

Elizabethan dower house is a home of distinctionStanding in gardens and grounds of around
2.3 acres, Belmont in Kent is an exceptional Elizabethan former dower house, half-timbered
with whitened render and brick under mainly tiled roofs.A house of some importance and distinction when
built, the property features fascinating exposed Tudor beams inside and dates from around 1590, with some of the chimneys added in 1681. The current owners substantially rebuilt the rear section of the five to six-bedroom home in 2000.
Partly jettied on the south-eastern and south-western sides, this surprisingly unlisted house – four miles south of Maidstone – is partially double-glazed and has lofty ceilings and large windows that draw natural light into the generous family living spaces.
The ground floor drawing room features impressive moulded beams, a square window bay with seat, stone chimneypiece, and double doors out onto the terrace. A panelled sitting room or study has windows on two sides, fireplace and moulded main ceiling beams.
The dining room has an oriel window, and the fitted kitchen contains granite work surfaces, Amtico flooring and a full range of integrated appliances. A breakfast room at a lower level has steps down to a wine cellar with brick bins.
Beyond the back hall, an excellent family room has three sets of French windows – one leading to the hard tennis court – and connects to a fitted bar. Next to the family room is a leisure complex featuring a two-tier sauna, indoor heated swimming pool, and seven sets of French windows.
Secluded gardens offer expansive lawns plus a kitchen garden, orchard and rotating summerhouse. There are two double garages and a workshop.

country vibeMark Taylor of Savills Haywards Heath gives South a guided tour of LindfieldATTRACTIONS In the heart of Mid Sussex, Lindfield is a popular and lively village on the edge of the commuter hub of Haywards Heath. It is set in the High Weald, an area of outstanding natural beauty.
Dating back to 1098, the village’s ancient High Street is lined with the lime trees after which the village is named – Lindfield meaning ‘open land with lime trees’. Nikolaus Pevsner described the High Street as the ‘finest village street in Sussex’ and today it has over forty medieval and post-medieval timber-framed houses, as well as many beautifully proportioned Victorian properties.
At the south of the High Street is a picturesque natural spring-fed pond with fish, ducks, swans and herons, surrounded by some of the most stunning properties in the village. Beyond lies the Common, which over the centuries has witnessed many fairs, festivals, bonfire celebrations and sporting activities. Today it is still central to village celebrations and leisure activities.
SHOPS AND SERVICES Lindfield has an excellent selection of independent shops, including award winning organic butcher Glyn Thomas & Son, Sussex Wine Cellars, Field + Forest delicatessen, Humphrey’s Bakery, a bookshop, various boutiques, barbers, hairdressers, a GP surgery and several pubs, bistros and coffee shops.
TOP RESI STREETS The High Street, Compton Road, Dukes Road, Little Black Hill, Birchen Lane and
Roundwood Lane. There are many superb country houses tucked away in the lanes surrounding Lindfield.
RESTAURANTS AND PUBS There are quite a few, but the ones that spring to mind are The Bent Arms, The Red Lion, The Witch Inn, The Stand Up Inn, Limes of Lindfield and Paolino Italian restaurant. All are in Lindfield.
LEISURE Cricket has been played on the common since 1747 and Lindfield has a thriving cricket club, football club and tennis club. King Edward Hall is the venue for the local drama society and the weekly country market. There are also church groups and choirs including Blackthorns School Choir.
SCHOOLS Lindfield has sought-after state schools and excellent private schools within easy reach. They include Blackthorns Primary, Lindfield Primary, Oathall Community College, Tavistock & Summerhill, Great Walstead School, Cumnor House and Ardlingly College. There are also a number of well-regarded pre-schools and nurseries.
TRANSPORT Lindfield is 1.5 miles from Haywards Heath station, which has regular mainline services to Brighton (journey time from 17 minutes), London Bridge and London Victoria (from 42 minutes). The A23 is close and connects to the coast and the national motorway network. Gatwick Airport is 14 miles away.

Special report by Simon Scott, associate director of Savills
Locksbottom
While the residential sales market in North Kent remains steady, particularly across the Borough of Bromley, there are
certain properties that will always sell quickly and successfully.
Many of our buyers from London have young children for whom good schools and an improved quality of life are key factors in deciding where to live. In addition to the excellent transport links into London, Bromley, Chislehurst and the surrounding areas boast an excellent choice of state and private schools, both in the primary and secondary sector. As a result there is a shortage of good-sized family homes available, and when they do come onto the market, they can be literally snapped up within days.
As demand remains high, we have seen buyers who are prepared to stretch to the very top of their affordability to get access to a good school, which has resulted in multiple offers and competitive bidding.
We have recently sold several properties to buyers who were solely influenced by the location, ranging from a large five-bedroom house in Chislehurst to a three and four-bedroom property in Bromley and Orpington.
There are a number of desirable schools in the area including Farringtons, Bromley High School, Newstead Woods, St Olaves, Ravens Wood, Darrick Wood, Bullers Wood and Chislehurst C of E Primary.
The time of year no longer appears to influence a purchase, and where historically parents would wish to move in time to register for a new academic year, now the ‘where’ is of far more importance than the ‘when’ in the vicinity of top-performing establishments.

Heavenly in HampshireHidden away in the centre of the market town of
Stockbridge, Old Church House, as its name suggests, is a former church now sensitively
converted into an impressive three-bedroom residence.Built in the early 1900s, this heavenly Hampshire
home has retained much of the original church character in combination with modern décor and fittings. Its private rear garden is bordered on one side by a tributary of the River Test, known for its excellent fly-fishing. The chalk streams of the upper Test flow through and around the town and Houghton Fishing Club, the oldest in England, is based in the High Street at the Grosvenor Hotel.
Set well back from the road behind wrought iron gates, Old Church House has a front garden with a terrace, pond and parking area. The dining room and sitting room in the centre of the house have full-height vaulted ceilings and superb stained glass windows.
Flooded with natural light, the sitting room has a stone fireplace with a woodburner. Stairs lead up to the first floor to a minstrel’s gallery, study and recreation area and the master bedroom.
Planning permission is in place to extend the kitchen, which currently contains smart modern units and a four-oven Aga cooker. French windows open out into the garden, terrace and pathway to a decked area over the river. The garden also contains a large office with tiled roof and a garden store.
The wide and picturesque High Street reflects its historic past as a drovers’ road for sheep and cattle. The town has inspired many poets and its centre has a trail of 10 poems for visitors to follow.

Magic moments from Chewton Rose Cobham
Guy Leaning, Area Sales Partner South Division, from estate agency Chewton Rose has helped the Magic Moments children’s charity smash the £1million raised
barrier.Guy and the team has helped to contribute £37,000 so far
this year through sponsored bike rides including The London to Brighton Ride and the London Prudential 100.
Magic Moments, set up by Chewton Rose’s parent company in 1998, supports the families of terminally ill children. A record two hundred people, comprising of 47 families that have gone through hospice care, were taken to Disneyland Paris for the trip of a lifetime last year to create some “Magic Moments”.
As well as Disneyland trips, funds raised also go to help local children’s hospices with vital equipment, sensory rooms and unique “Magic Moments” for individual children.
Guy Leaning said: “We all love Magic Moments but also get behind local community events such as school sponsorship and local heritage fun days.
This year, Chewton Rose’s parent company joined Business in the Community, a national not-for-profit organisation that promotes responsible business and corporate responsibility.
Very few estate agencies are members. The organisation, whose president is HRH The Prince of Wales, has household name member companies that range from BP and British Airways right the way through the alphabet to supermarket Morrison and retailer WH Smith.
Glittering historyA house where some of the most famous names of the 19th and 20th
century were entertained has just come on to the market with premium agent Chewton Rose.
Ashley House, in Weybridge, which has a guide price of £1,395,000, has welcomed in such impressive guests as Edward Burne-Jones, Henry James, Oscar Wilde and Lillie Langtry.
The Grade II Listed four-bedroom house was once home to Sir George and Lady Elizabeth Lewis, socialites whose house was described as “thronged with painters, sculptors, musicians, actors, writers, lawyers, politicians.”
The current owner of Ashley House said: “This house had an incredible history. There are very few properties like this in this area and this one has a particularly fascinating past because of all the famous people who spent time here.”
Sir George Lewis (1833 to 1911) was a lawyer who became notable after being connected with some of the most famous criminal cases of the day. His second wife, Elizabeth (1844 to 1931), was German, and enjoyed moving among some of the most colourful names of the time.
The couple would often spend weekends and holidays out at their Surrey home and there they would entertain the likes of artists such as Edward Burne-Jones and James Abbott McNeill Whistler, writers including Henry James, Daphne du Maurier and Oscar Wilde and even Prince Edward’s mistress Lillie Langtry.
“Both Sir George and Lady Elizabeth also appeared in a cameo roles in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes stories.”
Ashley House, which is set back, with a small orchard in the front garden, was built in 1720 and has been home to its current owners for 23 years.
It offered them everything they were seeking in a home at the time – proximity to London, good schools and excellent road connections, as well as a wealth of history.
“It was very special,” he said. “When it came to building houses, the Georgians got it right. They made large rooms, with high ceilings - and Ashley House is a beautiful example of their architecture.”
Over the years they have renovated the property, carefully restoring its character and bringing back its period elegance.
“We stripped the wooden panelling in the dining room and also sanded and polished the oak herringbone floor,” he said. “We redecorated throughout and replaced a lot of the windows with ‘like for like.’”
The semi-detached property has four bedrooms, four reception rooms and two bathrooms. It is still a great entertaining house but has also made a superb family home.
“It is a great party house because of the large rooms,” he said. “It is especially nice at Christmas, when we have the decorations up and the open fires lit.
“The kitchen is large enough to have three or four people sitting down to eat while the dining room is magnificent for dinner parties.”
In the summer they relax out on the terrace and enjoy long lunches in the sunshine as the famous names before them would have done.
“This is a very private house, which is also quiet as it is set on a cul-de-sac,” he added. “We will miss that when we leave – but most of all we will miss all its wonderful history.”

“As you drive up the little country lane in the charming village of Nutbourne you reach the impressive entrance to Upper Nash House with its sweeping driveway and a property façade that oozes grandeur”Chewton Rose
A modern manor Commanding glorious views over the Downs, Upper Nash House has been
designed to offer luxurious living in the heart of beautiful countryside. This property has been developed into a sumptuous family home offering six
bedrooms and generous reception space as well as extensive landscaped gardens and a swimming pool.
The current owner added two extra floors to the house which now boasts three storeys and six bedrooms, three of which are ensuite, as well as the drawing room, dining room, games room and kitchen/family room.
The ground floor accommodation comprises a 30ft drawing room featuring an Inglenook fireplace and log burning stove. Past the imposing oak staircase is a shower room and utility room. You then come to a games room with space enough for a full sized snooker table. Next to the games room is the property’s dining room with views of the Downs. To the left of the front door lies the kitchen/family room which features integrated De Dietrich appliances and a range of high gloss units. Double doors lead into the garden.
Ascending to the first floor the feeling of grandeur continues. The spacious Master Bedroom is located here complete with luxurious ensuite, dressing room and office space. Three more bedrooms are to be found on the first floor. The bedrooms on the second floor are ideal for the older children in the family.
No property would be complete without parking facilities and the sweeping drive can accommodate multiple cars plus there is a double car port for additional parking.
The pretty West Sussex hamlet of Nutbourne is close to Pulborough which has train connections to London.

lettings lowdown
Special report by Ruth Barr, head of Lettings at Knight Frank Wimbledon Village
Annual rental growth has r e t u r n e d
to prime central London, rising 0.5 per cent since July 2013. This figure will surprise a number of people as the general feeling is that rents have risen in line with the crazy sales market and huge rises in housing equity last autumn and this spring.
The truth is that rents have not kept pace with the tremendous growth and have kept pretty stable due to a regular supply across the price ranges. That said, summer this year saw a real shortage of large five-bedroom houses priced from £6000 to £10,000 per month. We have seen some landlords in this bracket enjoying 10 per cent increases as they come out of existing deals and into new tenancies.
The autumn lettings market is always strong and the focus is currently on the lack of available stock across the majority of price ranges. There is, therefore, a real chance we will see rents rise beyond the current Retail Price Index figure.
We have also seen a change in tenancy lease terms as tenants have less choice and as a result are prepared to fix in for longer periods. This is very good news for landlords as they are looking in some cases at tenancies of 18 to 36 months, often with tenants prepared to forego a break clause in return for a more favourable rental figure.
It is a refreshing change to see tenants happy to commit to three-year tenancies, and to accept that in some cases it’s a more affordable option than purchasing at the current time. This means we are moving towards a more European attitude to long-term rentals, which is encouraging.
Low interest rates remain positive for landlords, but it is worth fixing your interest rate now to cover affordability on mortgage repayments, regardless of variances in the rent. Speak to an accountant to get sound advice on whether it is better for you to gear up on your borrowings, as this can make your investment more tax efficient.

KFH West Putney Sales 020 8785 2122 l www.kfh.co.uk
Tell us how you joined the property industry and briefly describe your career history to date.I joined KFH ten years ago and originally worked as a lettings negotiator before progressing to the position of sales manager in West Putney. What do you enjoy most about working in this market, and what have been your highlights so far?We recently helped a couple complete on their house before their first child was born, which was a real highlight. What are your predictions for the sales market in South London for the next few years?The introduction of the Mortgage Market Review (MMR) combined with speculation over interest rates has seen the market cool somewhat. Prices are still incredibly strong, however, and in the long term these should continue to grow as overall demand outstrips supply for good quality homes in sought-after locations.
What advice would you give to anyone considering a career in estate agency?If you have a genuine interest in both property and people, it can be a great environment to work in. Try to join a reputable company with a strong track record of growth, training and internal promotion, as this will give you the confidence to progress as your own career develops.
Describe the biggest challenges you face on a day-to-day basis.Due to the changing market, our biggest challenge often comes from bridging the gap between perception and reality. This, coupled with managing the expectations of our buyers or vendors, is the key to success. How difficult is the current market for homebuyers, and what advice do you give them?Following a very active first few months of the year, the sales market has stabilised with many buyers finding that now is a significantly more comfortable time to purchase. Although the market is often tricky for buyers, whatever the conditions, my advice is to be proactive, organised, well researched and decisive. In your view, how does the South London market differ from other areas of London?The West Putney market tends to be quite localised and many of our buyers move multiple times in the same small area as their circumstances change. Putney and South West London generally offer a safe, secure and solid location in which to invest and to live. If you were Prime Minister for the day, what would you change or what new measures would you introduce?Firstly I would legislate against traffic wardens! Seriously though, I would abolish inheritance tax as it seems unjust to pay tax throughout your life only for it to be taxed again on your passing, leaving relatives with
an administrative headache at what is often a distressing time. I would also review stamp duty bands. Where, in your view, is the best place to live south of the river and why?It has to be Putney. We have a great range of leisure and shopping amenities, a number of fantastic parks and the Thames embankment. If you were not an estate agent, what career would you choose and why?I would be a restaurateur. I have a strong interest in food, branding and interior design and I’m a stickler for detail. Maybe one day I’ll get the chance to put my money where my mouth is!
