ask the expert

lettings agent

QThere are so many estate agents in the area. What should I look for to make the right choice to represent my property?Richard Hole, head of Savills Putney Lettings, replies...

AThe right agent will be able to tailor their service to their clients needs. They will be ARLA-licensed (at Savills all our team are ARLA licensed within 12 months) and

have a superior knowledge of the current market and its drivers, which they will discuss with their client honestly and openly.

They will also let the client know of any alterations or improvements that could be made to maximise the propertys attributes, and they will use this information to accurately determine the best price for their clients property. The best agents will then select the most appropriate course of quality marketing to maximise exposure and so reach the best quality applicants.

This will ensure that their clients property is let at the highest price achievable in the market, as quickly as possible, while continuously communicating with their client throughout to ensure they are kept up-to-date.

Landlords want honesty and reliability above everything, and that means accurate rental pricing, finding high quality tenants, and then managing and maintaining the property to a high level.

But landlords are also looking to minimise void periods by tapping into the tenant pool effectively. Ideally you need to find an agent who can offer both global reach and a strong

local network. Here at Savills we have been long-established in Putney, and well have 10 offices in the South-West by 2013, giving us both a significant local presence as well as being able to tap into our large global network of over 500 offices worldwide.

The best agents will deliver a first-class service for both landlords and tenants. Tenants tend to renew

their leases when they are well looked after by the property management teams. The longest-standing tenant we have had in the South-West has been in residence for 12 years, and the average managed tenancy is around three years.

It is not all about the highest rental price and the lowest fee; it is about honesty, service and longevity of the tenancy.

village vibeClaire Adams of Living in London takes South readers on a guided tour of ClaphamATTRACTIONS Ever since the first Sloane rangers ventured across Chelsea Bridge 20 years ago, Clapham has been a favoured enclave for City professional who love its quick links to the City and West End.

The area attracts affluent professionals and City workers: Europeans, especially the French, who move in to be close to the French Lyce in Wix Lane; and folk from north of the river in Fulham or Islington (a quick pop down the Northern Line) looking for a bit more space for their money. Wandsworth Common, Clapham Common and King Georges Park are popular open spaces.

TOP STREETS The general rule is that the closer to the Common you are, the better. Prime roads include Macaulay, Orlando and Lillieshall in the increasingly smart Old Town, as well as Grafton Square, whose stucco Italianate terraces overlooking the square are more Kensington than Clapham. Windmill Drive on the Common itself is also prime territory. Many houses at The Chase, Lavender Gardens and Victoria Rise have exclusive views across Clapham Common.

SHOPS The Old Town, Northcote Road and, more recently, Clapham High Street have seen an influx of smart delis, organic food shops, designer clothes shops and restaurants. Southside Wandsworth shopping Centre is one of the largest in this area of south London.

RESTAURANTS AND PUBS The Falcon pub next to Clapham junction station has a relaxed atmosphere. Knights of St John restaurant and bar offers contemporary dining with its modern European menu. SO.UK Clapham was nominated Best Bar at this years London Club and Bar Awards.

LEISURE Wandsworth Common has activities such as tennis and bowling. Gyms include Fitness First and Virgin Active, and leisure centres such as Latchmere offer health and fitness programmes for the community.

SCHOOLS Sought-after state primaries include Belleville and Honeywell, Clapham Manor and Macaulay C of E as well as several prep schools. Both Lambeth and Wandsworth have high achieving schools: La Retraite Roman Catholic Girls School (Lambeth) and Graveney mixed (Wandsworth). Private options include Eton House, Parkgate, Broomwood and Emanuel in Wandsworth and Dulwich (buses from Clapham).

TRANSPORT The area is well connected with Britains busiest railway station at Clapham Junction and three tube stations on the Northern line. Excellent bus routes include the 137 to Sloane Square, Knightsbridge and Park lane, finishing at Oxford Circus, and the 345 to South Kensington.

marketviewCan you get a pre-Christmas bargain? Cheryl Markosky asks the experts.

You can definitely get an end-of-year deal, suggests Laura Wilcox-Chandley of Marsh & Parsons Balham. Sellers are motivated to shift property before the year finishes, and there will be less competition while people party and shop. And although more homes come onto the market in the New Year, there will be more buyers fighting for them.

Wilcox-Chandley advises sellers to think about dropping the price. Lowering it by 20,000 can make a big difference. If you enter a new bracket on websites youll find a new audience that will be keen to look at your place.

A lot depends on whether the vendor is in a hurry to move, which a good agent should know, believes Austin Thorogood from John Thorogood. If I was a buyer, Id make an offer on something that missed the mark earlier in the year, while a seller might be better taking the property off the market and trying again in the spring.

Mayow Short from Savills Battersea thinks this Christmas season will be busy, as people who put searches on hold during the summer have come back in full force. While you may not pick up a bargain as such, there are many properties being marketed at the right price.

Sellers need to advertise their homes at a competitive rate, as buyers are becoming increasingly aware of value for money, adds Short. Theyre concentrating on paying premiums for the best locations or properties in immaculate condition, avoiding hassle.

A vendor could also hold an open house, where prospective buyers view the home during a two-hour window, says Andy Walker from Townends Putney. And buyers should consider no-chain properties that allow for quick completions. They should also find a proactive solicitor to push the process along.

James French of Douglas & Gordon West Putney tips buyers wanting end-of-year bargains to target properties that came onto the market between October and November. Sellers who put homes on at this time are usually keen to move fast with December just round the corner.

French emphasises that warm and festive presentation is also key. Its very easy to fall in love with properties all dressed up and ready for Christmas.

Stacks Relocation house-finder Sara Ransom tips talking to agents at least twice a week, so they know youre still there and looking. And keep an eye out for families that have booked children into a new school next term theyll have to move and might lower the price.

thewordSpecial report by Jonathan Dyson, manager of Hamptons Battersea and WandsworthAcross the Hamptons network, overall

transaction levels in the summer housing market suffered an expected setback due to an Olympic hiatus from buyers and the continued unseasonably poor weather. So it is against this backdrop that we were pleased to see overall buyer numbers down only four per cent from last autumn and the number of available properties up 10 per cent across our branches.

We are very encouraged that the autumn bounce in activity is very much here, with plenty of fresh buyers entering the market. The streets Between the Commons are as popular as ever, with Hamptons setting new records in price per square foot for a two-bedroom flat and a three-bedroom house close to Wandsworth Common. Its clear that even in tough economic times, buyers are happy to pay top prices for a property that gives them everything they want.

There continues to be some caution in prime South-West London and homes worth over 2 million that are dealing with the impacts of the Governments new Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) rules and Capital Gains Tax changes. There are increasing numbers of houses above this price point that have been on the market for many months without selling, and while there are still buyers at this level, they tend to wait in the wings until they perceive a property to be good value before theyll make a move.

Looking forward, the run in to the year-end is likely to be even busier than normal as the pent-up demand from a slow summer takes effect and mortgages

rates are low. The market is more price-sensitive than ever so vendors will need to price sensibly for this market, with the clear indication that doing so will ensure a prompt sale.

Forecasting season is upon us, at least in terms of building up the rationale that forms our annual view of future house prices. Each year it is a hard job, but the ambiguity that frames the market this year is driving even greater uncertainty than in previous years. GDP is expected to improve, albeit modestly, while inflation continues to fall back. Employment levels are relatively healthy and improving, bolstered by willingness from many to take on part-time roles and to self-employ. Risks to the housing market will remain in 2013, but there are also reasons to believe that modest improvements are on the horizon.

For Battersea and& Wandsworth, the easy commute to Central London and the quality of local schools continue to be the underlying strength of demand in the local housing market. Notwithstanding economic headwinds, there are genuine reasons to anticipate modest improvements next year and the new Bolingbroke Academy is now on stream with 120 pupils entering Year 7 annually.

It will be interesting to see the effect this brand new secondary school has on the local housing market as historically this lack of schooling has been the catalyst to people leaving the area for more leafy surroundings.

Hunt lived in Bathgate Road, Wimbledon, from 1982 until his death, aged just 45, in 1993 and the eight-bedroom property is currently on the market for 6.45 million. Present owner Simon Clough expanded the home by around a third, adding a heated swimming pool and sauna, and is now downsizing.

bestbitesJonathan Lloyd-Ham of Field & Sons recommends a favourite eateryThe Crooked Well 16 Grove Lane, Camberwell SE5 020 7252 5528

Where? Just off Camberwell Church Street, by Kerfield Crescent.

Whats it like? The best neighbourhood restaurant you can expect, but also worth a trip even if you dont live locally. It has a very friendly and buzzy atmosphere in an old converted pub. The service is excellent and I instantly felt at home seated on large squashy sofas. The owner has done a great job in creating an intimate place with a special London character. The inside will make you feel warm on rainy days, and theres an outside terrace for rare sunny days.

And the food? Good quality and an excellent choice. The sea bream and samphire is just beautiful, and the salt and pepper squid salad starter is excellent. Its best to book a table.

UK buyers find the real deal at Nine Elms embassy siteProperty surrounding Nine Elms the site of the new US Embassy has seen a massive uplift in enquiries, reports estate agent Knight Frank.

Increased press coverage on the 10-year plan for the area is attracting UK buyers, who were previously lagging behind the international market for property off-plan along the river.

Structures rising into the sky at a fast pace are attracting increasing attention at ground level, and Knight Frank reports that shrewd buyers are looking for existing property nearby rather than off-plan in Riverlight and Embassy Quarter.

We have seen a large number of buyers enquiring about our properties in St George Wharf and Chelsea Bridge Wharf, and period property along Prince of Wales Drive, which has views of the park, says Matthew Smith, head of Knight Frank Riverside and Battersea.

I take several calls a week with enquiries about Battersea Power Station and Nine Elms and the projected uplift over the next decade, says Smith. The area set back from Nine Elms and the existing property is where the real deals are when comparing prices. Sellers are getting top prices but buyers are still getting a great deal. Everyone is happy.

Its amazing how much more attention the area is getting this year compared to last. This includes all types of property, from one-beds to five-bed penthouses, although certainly two to three-beds up to 1.5m are getting the most attention.

Matthew Smith, Knight Frank: Its amazing how much more attention the area is getting this year compared to last

Catwalk fundraiserA catwalk display of autumn and winter collections raised around 1525 for Trinity Hospice at the Siena Fashion Show, sponsored by Savills Wandsworth.

Clothes boutique Siena and Oliviers Lounge in conjunction with accessory store Siena Additions of Bellevue Road hosted their bi-annual fashion show at The Althorp in October.

Christmas colourColourful competition entries from the pupils of Belleville Primary School will be decorating the office windows of Hamptons Battersea over Christmas.

Hamptons has launched a Decorate a Christmas tree drawing and colouring contest for children at the school. The winners will receive a deluxe art kit plus a 200 donation for the school.

Jonathan Dyson, manager of Hamptons Battersea, said: This is the perfect way to support our local schools and at the same time get everyone into the Christmas spirit.

DT Heads-Up DPS.indd 1 12/11/2012 14:50

Danny Hardy, sales manager of Kinleigh Folkard & Hayward Battersea

We anticipate a slowing of the market as we head towards Christmas, although

with the excellent buyer levels and pent-up demand we should see a strong finish to 2012.

We have seen a spike in activity levels over the autumn period, with a significant number of new sales being agreed. Buyer levels remain good with an active pool of motivated buyers ready to make a move as soon as a suitable property becomes available.

Upward pressure on prices remains largely driven by the lack of stock and any remaining good quality instructions are being quickly snapped up.

Federica Monaco, Knight Frank Wandsworth and Clapham

The market has been a curates egg (good in parts) this year: the beginning saw lots of

transactions between 2m and 3m, the middle was very active between 950,000 and 1.25m, and now we are seeing the top end active again.

Our business is well up on last year. The rise in transactions translates to a 40 per cent increase compared to 2011. We believe stability in prices, new policy measures (such as the Bank of Englands Funding for Lending Scheme to keep mortgage rates down), and demand outstripping supply have led to more confident and positive sentiments among buyers.

We anticipate a good end to 2012 despite some challenging circumstances. We expect an increase in buyers registering in 2013 as many held back this year from committing to a move. We also expect vendors and purchasers opinions on value to be more closely aligned than they have been for many years.

RIVERSIDE LIVING

Boat Race crews warm up at the end of your gardenWatch the two rival crews warming up on the Thames for the rowing challenge of their lives in the epic annual University Boat Race between Oxford and Cambridge.

The crews go through their paces on the river towards Wandsworth in the anxious moments before lining up below Putney Bridge. At the starters signal, they set off upstream ahead of a flotilla of motorised boats carrying officials, police, sponsors and camera crews.

Starting point for the four-and-a-quarter-mile course is opposite the University Stone set into the embankment towpath on the western side of Putney Bridge. You can see all the frenzied action leading up to the start from the back windows and 100ft rear garden of a six-bedroom house for sale on Putneys Deodar Road, east of Sir Joseph Bazalgettes five-arched granite bridge.

Modernised and extended, this 3795 sq ft home backing onto the Thames has superb views east and west along the river. Space at every level has been arranged to maximise the outlook, which also takes in Fulham and Hurlingham Club Gardens on the opposite riverbank.

With a 30ft front driveway and off-street parking for two cars, the house has an impressive double reception and river-view terrace. It also includes another front

reception, dining room and wine room, master bedroom with river balcony, top floor balcony, and potential to add an extra floor for another en suite bedroom.

For many years Deodar Road was the home of Roy Plomley (1914-1985), creator and original presenter of BBC Radios Desert Island Discs, who lived a few doors away at No 91.

COUNTRY HOUSE

Designs on DowntonThe Edwardian Country House, acclaimed Channel 4 reality TV series first aired in 2002, saw the Olliff-Cooper family and 12 volunteers recreate life at the dawn of the 20th century.

For three months they turned back the clock to discover exactly how it felt to be masters and servants living and working upstairs and down in a country house in the year 1910.

An Edwardian country house for sale in Kingston upon Thames was built in 1911, and the current owners are only its third family since then. It may not be quite as grandiose as Downton Abbey (recent third ITV series was set in 1920), but it offers almost 5850 sq ft of upstairs and downstairs space set in 0.8 lush green acres.

The seven-bedroom property on Renfrew Road, part of the private Coombe Estate, is named Camelot but there are no known links to King Arthur at this Edwardian home. The ground floor alone has almost 3000 sq ft of space including a wide entrance hall, four receptions and an extended family kitchen with plenty of space for a round table.

A TV and media room and a thermostatically controlled wine cellar are on the lower ground floor, and the first floor master bedroom has a dressing room, en suite bathroom, and a terrace overlooking the gardens.

Surrounding two sides of the house, the gardens feature wide lawns with floral borders, a woodland pathway, formal areas and an ornamental pond. A detached double garage has a studio apartment above, and the house stands behind electric wooden gates.

Looking out at the Shard, St Pauls and St GeorgesThe golden weathervane on the classical church spire of St George the Martyr will tell you the wind direction, and the church clock below it will give you the time.

This historic church, said to be Londons first named after brave St George, is on view from the windows and wraparound balcony of a 12th floor apartment at Boroughs Empire Square West.

Among the other major London landmarks to look out for on the skyline in the sweeping 180-degree views from Empire Square are St Pauls Cathedral, Canary Wharf tower, the Shard, and the London Eye.

The air-conditioned property has 783 sq ft of inside space that includes two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a reception room with floor-to-ceiling windows, and a separate kitchen. The apartment also has 24-hour concierge services,

underground parking, and no onward chain.

Attractions on the doorstep in this popular area of the South Bank include Borough Market, the Tate Modern, Southwark Cathedral, the Golden Hinde, and Clink Prison. Nearby Vinopolis offers three acres of wine, food and specialist events.

For those not inclined to walk over a bridge into the City, transport options include London Bridge main line station and tube (Jubilee and Northern Lines), Borough Station (Northern Line), and the boat services at Bankside and London Bridge.

Its rock n roll!Architects add a new top floor, side extension and full basement to a tired house Between the CommonsHomes in the smartest parts of South-West London are becoming ever more sophisticated. Long gone are the days when a humble oddjobber with a shovel and a rusty old van turned up to renovate a rundown property. This months project in Wandsworth is a fine example, showing off the combined skills of architectural, interiors and construction practice Minale and Minale.

The Notting Hill-based firm, which is just about to move its workshop and offices under one roof in Battersea, took a tired Between-the-Commons house in Hillier Road and expanded and updated it. Now the new improved four-storey version has a master bedroom suite with walk-in dressing area and en suite bathroom, four other bedrooms, three bathrooms, kitchen and family room, media room and wine cellar.

The property wasnt a complete wreck, but it was in a tired state and hadnt been extended, a rare commodity in this area, explains Massimo Minale, partner with Sebastian Mann at Minale and Minale.

This wasnt the companys first foray into a project like this in the neighbourhood, as it had rejuvenated a similar-sized house in parallel Devereux Road a year before. We extended the Hillier Road home to the

same extent, adding a new top floor, side extension and full basement the whole length of the house, adds Minale.

We replicated the earlier house by about 80 per cent, but we added a few extra gems this time round. Its
