ask the expert……sales agent

QWhat are your five top tips for preparing to sell a home?

Phil Agius, sales manager for Jacksons Estate Agents, Wandsworth Common, replies...

1 Target Market. The first step to selling your property quickly and painlessly is to consider your

target market. Who do you think might buy your property? Then try to

tailor your space to appeal to the main target group without alienating other groups that might also be interested.

2 Timing. The very best times to be entering the market are generally in the spring (February/March) and early summer (April/May), when traditionally demand

outstrips supply and therefore prices are usually at their most buoyant.

3 De-clutter and de-personalise. Potential buyers need to imagine themselves living in your house, so tidy away any unnecessary ornaments and photos.

Put things you don’t really use on a daily basis in the attic or cellar. Focus on tidying up the hallway and clear away coats and clutter. Tidy away all your beauty products in the bathroom. In the kitchen, clear the work surfaces of those bits and bobs we all have on the side.

4 Freshen up. A fresh coat of neutral paint, new tiling, and a few new kitchen handles can do wonders to smarten up a tired-looking property. If you can’t

stretch to re-tiling in the bathroom, re-grouting should bring it up new. Just have a good look round with fresh eyes and see if there are any areas in need of some attention.

5 Clean up. Getting professional cleaners in to really make the place sparkle will be money well spent. Focus on the carpets, sofa covers, oven and most

importantly clean the windows to add that extra sparkle to your home. It pays to give special attention to the kitchen and bathrooms, which benefit from being fresh and inviting. Finally, make sure your garden feels like a great space for entertaining and relaxing.

Then call you local independent agent for invaluable local knowledge and advice.

village vibeRebecca Jane Higgins of Knight Frank takes South on a guided tour of Bellevue Village.ATTRACTIONS Bellevue Village is a much sought after grid of roads located on the doorstep of Wandsworth Common. Residents enjoy benefits of country living in the heart of London. The village boasts quirky boutiques and designer clothes shops, Michelin-starred restaurant Chez Bruce – a favourite with top London chefs – as well as a good quality patisserie, numerous well-regarded bistros and restaurants.

SHOPS Bellevue Road is the perfect spot to shop. Tickled Pink offer an amazing array of gifts for all ages and holds an incredible jewellery selection. The Inside Man offers a diverse range of exclusive gifts for men – socks will become a present of the past. Ladies can be dressed for success in the well-established boutique Sienna, and the shoe and boot range in Olivier’s Lounge save you a trip to the West End.

RESTAURANTS AND PUBS Enjoy tea for two in Flavin’s Tea Room, cocktails and supper at Brinkley’s, the taste of the orient in the Good Earth, and a pint and pie in the Hope. For special occasions, Chez Bruce will tantalise your taste buds – you’ll wish your birthday was every day.

LEISURE Wandsworth Common has activities for all the family with a large children’s playground, tennis courts and a bowling green. The strong-willed enjoy organised outdoor group workouts with Fit for a Princess and British Military Fitness. Otherwise enjoy a stroll around the pond, where you are highly likely to meet a lovely new puppy or two.

TRANSPORT Wandsworth Common is well located for transport. The area offers both overground and underground rail links. Mainline trains can be found at Wandsworth Common Station with direct trains into London Victoria. There is also all-day parking and sheltered storage for bikes. Balham tube station is nearby allowing quick access to both the City and the West End. Buses run frequently from Bellevue Road, with the 319 going directly to Sloane Square.

SCHOOLS Primary schools such as Beatrix Potter, Honeywell and Belleville prove to be very popular. Prep schools such as Finton House, Broomwood Hall, Hornsby House and Thomas’s Clapham are close by.

marketviewWith English Heritage’s blue plaque scheme under threat, could its demise affect

the property market, asks Cheryl Markosky

Blue plaques noting famous people who once lived in homes in the capital are a notable feature. Justin Bhoday of Kinleigh Folkard & Hayward Kennington

agrees that they make great local landmarks and are important to local historians, but do not in his opinion, add to the value of a property.

He says: “The presence of a blue plaque creates interest from a marketing and press perspective and becomes a real talking point with buyers when viewing a home. However, plaques make little difference, and often it’s down to the merits of the property alone.”

Marcus Bradbury-Ross of Prime Purchase thinks plaques add to the ‘saleability’ of a property by raising its profile. “There may even be occasions when fanatical fans of that person want to buy the house in the same way they might collect paintings. I haven’t seen evidence of a blue plaque itself adding value. It is more that its existence helps the property stand out from others.”

Adding interest to a blue plaque property can help attract multiple buyers and that could drive up price, points out Jonathan Haward of County Homesearch.

Haward offers clients the opportunity to have the history of their houses mapped by professional house historians. “The fact that someone like Graham Greene (Clapham Common) or Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg (Clapham Common North) once lived in your house is to be part of recent history. How lovely is that!”

celebritywatchCharles Dance, Johnny Vegas, Katy Brand and a host of other top celebs have been lining up on Clapham Common for a new Sky Atlantic comedy series.

Featuring a star-studded cast, Common Ground is currently running as the latest addition to the channel’s Comedy Mondays. The series of 10 short films covers different scenarios all linked by characters and locations in South London.

“Common Ground is a key show that will further build the channel’s unique voice,” says Sky Atlantic director Elaine Pyke. The final double bill of the series airs on March 4.

the wordSpecial report by Alex Oppenheim of John D Wood & Co Battersea

On the odd occasion, I have been known to play the Euro Millions lottery. Recently, when there was a pot of £130 million on

offer, I once again took my chances. Out of the seven numbers required I had five. I can assure you that by the time I had ticked off the first four I had mentally spent my first £40 million and Mrs Oppenheim’s mind was lost in a whirl of boutiques and far flung holidays.

Now I am not encouraging gambling, but it is in the British DNA to have a bit of a flutter on the odd occasion. Think of the Grand National! Similarly, it is part of our heritage to own a property. To quote my old Latin teacher: “Et domus sua cuique est tutissimum refugium” (and each man’s home is his safest refuge).

This is in contrast to much of Europe, where a great many more people rent for a longer period. When looking for a house or flat to live in, there are many factors to consider, and quite rightly where to invest one’s hard-earned capital is an extremely important one. Fundamentally buying any property is an affair of the heart.

When we look back on the dark months during the financial crisis, those buyers who purchased a property in Battersea have now seen a significant uplift. According to the latest John D Wood & Co Battersea Index, if you bought a property in the nadir of

February 2009, it will have increased in value by approximately 62 per cent. To take this a step further, since 2005 we have seen an average annual return of 12.8 per cent. Some of my stockbroking friends were rather miffed at that little statistic!

But what will the future bring? Of course, that is difficult to predict, but it looks bright with the well-documented redevelopment of a certain former power station and the arrival of a western super power wanting a presence in Battersea. This all has to be a wonderful barometer for the area. It’s certainly much less of a lottery.

Clare Neville, head of Savills Lettings Battersea, recommends a favourite eatery

The Butcher & Grill 39-41 Parkgate Road, Battersea SW11 • 020 7924 3999

Where? This amazing eatery is conveniently located just off Battersea Park.

What’s it like? A relaxed eat-in bar and grill, with a deli providing an array of delicious foods, combined with a modern-style butcher’s shop that supplies finest meat, poultry and game for both the customer and the kitchen.

And the food? The informal bar and grill provides a scrumptious menu with food from the butcher, and the deli provides an array of cooked dishes, salads and sandwiches to eat in or take away, as well as cheeses, speciality breads and cakes.

Royal visitPrince Charles and Camilla Duchess of Cornwall visited St Anselm’s Church in Kennington to learn more about Pathways at Kennington Cross, a new community project to help vulnerable and deprived people.

Winkworth director Nigel Field is a trustee of the charity, which also incorporates Change Up, a scheme dedicated to helping ex-offenders and other marginalised individuals to develop business ideas.

Nigel Field, left in main picture, is pictured welcoming the Duchess and Prince Charles to St Anselm’s during the royal visit in January.

New academy will create great sales peopleHamptons Academy is a new training programme launched by Hamptons International for individuals wanting to embark on a career in property.

The new programme is designed to give candidates the skills they need to succeed in the industry, together with a full-time role at a Hamptons branch. The scheme will have two intakes per year, and the first trainees begin in May.

Successful applicants will be offered six months’ training in a dedicated Hamptons Academy office, with practical one-to-one coaching from an experienced senior mentor.

Andrew Brown (pictured), Hamptons head of HR, said the programme aims to identify, train and develop individuals with the potential to make great sales people. To apply, send Hamptons a CV and short video.

“Innovation is the name of the game. We want candidates to think ‘out of the box’ and show us in a video format why they stand apart from the competition. Previous property experience is not important. Our aim is to find candidates who understand our culture and have a desire to succeed,” said Andrew. More information on www.hamptons.co.uk/careers/academy

Let’s hear it for Holst in BarnesThe work of celebrated Barnes composer Gustav Holst will be celebrated at the inaugural Barnes Music Festival at St Mary’s Church Barnes in March.

Over nine days beginning March 16, the festival will feature international performers such as pianist Graham Johnson and the Tippett Quartet, together with a host of singers, jazz artists, Barnes Concert Band and St Mary’s Choir.

Daniel Turner, music director at St Mary’s Barnes, said: “Over years to come, we aim to provide a forum for both established artists and upcoming musicians and to create an environment where talent can flourish and be nurtured.”

Organised by Barnes Music Society, Barnes Choir and Friends of St Mary’s Barnes, the festival is sponsored by estate agent Marsh & Parsons.

Mayow Short, head of Savills Battersea

In 2013 we have already seen an increase in buyers viewing

property in comparison to last year. In Battersea the impending rejuvenation surrounding this area has had a further positive impact, and general feedback is that London remains a positive environment to invest.

We have seen a plethora of different nationalities investing in Battersea and the market is seeing sales success at all price levels. Buy-to-let mortgage rates are setting new lows, with the chance of two-year fixed rates dropping as low as 1.5 per cent. As a result, we are seeing both private individuals and seasoned property portfolios increasing their exposure.

Here at Savills we have agreed several family houses in the £3m to £5m bracket, despite the cold winter weather not encouraging people to venture out. Most clients and buyers now take the additional stamp duty as a further transactional cost when purchasing.

Jonathan Dyson, manager of Hamptons International Battersea and Wandsworth

The office always feels different at the start of the year for obvious

reasons. December is a month of pushing through existing sales before London shuts down for the holidays, whereas January always seems to herald the start of a new property cycle.

It is no surprise that 2013 has been markedly busier. However, the amount by which activity has skyrocketed has surprised even the most experienced of us. A lacklustre 2011 followed by a stop-start 2012 seems to have turned into an extremely confident 2013, with both buyers and sellers eager to get an early deal squared away before the spring rush.

Green shoots? Great big Triffids so far!

Battersea indexThe latest Battersea Property Graph by estate agent John D Wood & Co shows an increase in sales prices of 8 per cent during 2012.

“Taking into account the uplift during 2011, this gives an increase of just over 20 per cent for the last 24 months. This performance underscores how strong the demand is for the area, and Battersea Power Station and American Embassy will only strengthen this further,” says the company.

The quarterly property index is independently compiled by the London School of Economics and includes sale transactions – at the point of exchange of contracts – from all leading London estate agents.

DEMOLITION DATEWandsworth Council has granted planning consent for the demolition of four redundant gasholders in the Nine Elms on the South Bank regeneration area.

National Grid’s future plan for the 4.9-acre site, next to Battersea Power Station, is to build new homes, shops, offices, leisure facilities and public spaces.

The gasholders were decommissioned last year. Demolition works are expected to begin in the spring and take approximately 16 months to complete.

Balham moveRoss Brian is the new sales manager of Hamptons International’s Balham branch after working for the estate agency for the past seven years.

He moves to Balham from the Hamptons Battersea and Wandsworth office, which he helped to launch last May. Ross was regularly involved in local community initiatives there, and broke the area’s pounds-per-square-foot record on a three-bedroom apartment Between the Commons and a house in the Toast Rack streets.

Ross has also worked for Hamptons in Gloucestershire and North London.

Family lets market is backin full force, says CarolineCatherine Hanley has been promoted to head of Lettings at Savills Richmond. “Not only has the family house market come back in full force, but we are also seeing a lot of interest for the smaller units for couples and sharers,” she says.

A large hallway with wooden flooring has double doors into a grand drawing room. Two sets of sliding glass doors open out onto a balcony with views across the secluded landscaped courtyard and its ornamental palm tree.

There are more courtyard views from the air-conditioned kitchen and dining room, featuring an extensive range of units and Kupperbusch appliances. It includes a dining area and one complete wall of storage cupboards.

An elegant curved staircase leads to the first floor containing the master bedroom with en suite bathroom and private terrace. The four other bedrooms – one opening out into the courtyard – are on the lower ground floor, which also has two bathrooms (one en suite) and a utility room.

Offering 2388 sq ft of inside space, the property includes off-street parking. Catch the train at Battersea Park or Queenstown Road.

Formally opened in 1858, Battersea Park was built between 1854 and 1870. A recent major programme of works restored and refurbished many of the park’s Victorian and Festival of Britain elements of the park.

It’s Wandsworth’s answerto the country mansionBuilt in 1860, Trinity Lodge is the original house in

Wandsworth’s Trinity Crescent. Set back from the road behind a gated drive, the low-built double-

fronted detached house has a garden almost 200ft long containing a summerhouse and sauna.

Wandsworth’s answer to the country mansion, the property has parking space for five cars at the front and potential to reinstate what was once its carriage driveway. There’s also side access to the back of the house and garden.

On the ground floor, two of the reception rooms have been opened up to create a generous open space for entertaining and family living. Reinstate a dividing wall and you’ll have five decent-sized receptions.

Both sitting room and study have their original marble fireplaces and there’s original coving throughout. The elegant drawing room is illuminated by a light-well in the centre, and double doors open out onto a large paved terrace overlooking the garden.

A large kitchen and breakfast room has views of the garden, and a dry cellar in the basement of the property offers extensive storage and development potential. A grand wood-panelled staircase leads off the entrance

hall, and a half-landing with tall stained-glass window has stairs sweeping left and right.

On the first floor are four double bedrooms and two bathrooms (one en suite). Two of the bedrooms open out onto a wide roof terrace that looks out across the garden below. The property offers enormous potential to extend onto the roof terrace or into the loft.

Six-bed Wimbledon semi goes all contemporaryA total modernisation programme has now been

completed to bring a six-bedroom semi-detached period house in Wimbledon Village into the 21st

century.Many of the Belvedere Grove property’s original

features have been retained while giving the home a full contemporary makeover and an imaginative new layout. Living space on four floors has been interior designed throughout.

On the ground floor, an impressive kitchen and family room features an Aga cooker, central island, dining area, and French windows that open out into the 50ft open-aspect rear garden. Also on this level are a reception room, dining room and study.

The lower ground floor has a cosy cinema and TV room plus a utility room, together with plenty of useful storage space. The master bedroom suite with bathroom and dressing room is on the first floor, and there are three more bathrooms (one en suite) in total inside living space of almost 3640 sq ft.

There’s off-street parking for several cars, and you can drive round to neighbouring Clement Road for vehicle access to the rear garden. Belvedere Grove is just a few hundred yards from Wimbledon High Street and Wimbledon Common, and an eight-minute walk from Wimbledon station.

Rates still fall At least we’ll have extra cash for petrol, suggests Duncan Farmer

News that the Government will not launch

an investigation into the price of petrol and diesel after a report

by the Office of Fair Trading has come as a disappointment to drivers. Motoring organisations have claimed that when the wholesale price of oil rises, the price we pay at the pump soars like an arrow but when oil prices fall, the cost of filling our tanks drops like a feather.

While the outcome of the OFT report will be a blow to haulage firms and other motorists, it will make little difference to the life of the average Londoner. According to figures from the Office for National Statistics, Londoners spend less on fuel and transport than people living in most other parts of the country.

That is probably not surprising, but remarkably the ONS survey also found that Londoners spend far less on food, going out, culture, and alcohol and tobacco, even though people living in the capital have far more disposable income and higher gross earnings than the rest of the nation.

By far the biggest cost for those of us living in the capital is housing, both in terms of rent and mortgage repayments. At a time when the Retail Prices Index suggests that the cost of living is rising by three per cent a year, the cost of

mortgages is falling. And it is set to fall further, as brokers believe fixed rates could drop to 1.5 per cent. .

Yorkshire Building Society has just launched a 1.99 per cent two-year fixed-rate mortgage, and Nationwide, the UK’s largest building society, has cut rates to two per cent on its two-year deals.

“Rates are likely to fall further and two-year fixes could go as low as 1.5 per cent,” says Mark Harris, chief executive of mortgage broker SPF Private Clients. “They are falling all the time with no upward pressure on underlying swap rates. The base rate is set to stay the same for years to come.”

Last month I reported on Citi’s prediction that the Monetary Policy Committee would hold rates at 0.5 per cent until 2017. Since then, many analysts have put that date back a year to 2018.

So while the rest of the country suffers from the high cost of living, Londoners who shop around for the best home loan can look forward to having a little extra cash to spend on petrol.

Incidentally, the high price we pay for unleaded and diesel is being blamed on the weakness of the pound against the dollar. It is also down against other major currencies, which makes London an even more attractive place for overseas buyers, and that is likely to buoy the London property market for some time to come.

FLS and better dealsMortgage lending dropped dramatically at the end of last year, according to figures from the Council of Mortgage Lenders, but this is hardly surprising and nothing to worry about, says Andy Knee of specialist firm LMS.

“The drop in activity in the second half of 2012 was widely anticipated, this being a lull before the full introduction of the Funding for Lending Scheme (FLS) which is widely expected to bring a pick-up to the mortgage market in 2013,” he says.

“December’s drop can also be attributed to savvy homeowners holding off for more competitive products in the New Year, combined with the normal seasonal lull in activity in the months leading up to Christmas. We expect FLS to increase competition between lenders and this should result in better deals for the mortgage customers and a restoration of growth in the market this year.”

moneytip

£ There is a real boost for UK homebuyers, brought about by the combination of the low base

rate and the continued benefits of the Bank of England’s Funding for Lending Scheme. With more lending institutions taking advantage of the scheme, the cost

of mortgages has been driven down with the equity-rich benefitting from rates under 2 per cent.

However, with lenders chasing the ‘low hanging fruit’, they are now looking further along the risk curve to satisfy their targets. This is good news for first-time buyers and those with smaller deposits, and may also lead to ‘mortgage prisoners’ (those who find themselves unable to remortgage due to issues such as affordability, interest-only or impaired credit) being catered for more sympathetically.

Average UK property price risesAbout 80,000 housebuyers could find themselves paying three times more stamp duty this year as more properties look set to breach the £250,000 mark, at which the tax rate rises from one per cent to three per cent. The difference in tax between buying a property at £249,999 and £250,000 is £5,000.

The one per cent stamp duty ceiling has remained unchanged for more than 15 years while over the same period the average price of a house has increased threefold from £79,242 to £249,958. Hailed as Britain’s least favourite tax when it was introduced in 1984, the charge was simple. An average priced property, which was then £29,106, incurred no tax and properties over £30,000 were subject to a one per cent charge.

In 1997, stepped bands were introduced and, despite property prices having increased, the point at which the tax jumps from one per cent to three per cent has remained at £250,000 ever since. HM Land Registry figures show that, despite a lacklustre housing market, 2012 saw the average property price in the UK rise by 0.75 per cent to £249,958. A similar slight increase would bring the average property price above the £250,000 threshold.

With prices in the capital set to rise faster than those in the rest of the country, Londoners will suffer most.

numbercrunchingREAL FLS IMPACTMortgage brokers are divided about whether the Government’s Funding for Lending Scheme is having any real impact on the mortgage market.

A recent survey showed that nearly half (43 per cent) of mortgage brokers felt that the FLS is having a positive impact – yet almost as many (41 per cent) took the opposite view.

Bank of England figures for December 2012 show that while mortgage lending for house purchase by the major UK lenders increased by £1.7 billion in the first five months of the scheme, compared with the same period in 2011, their overall mortgage lending during this period actually fell by £2.3 billion.

Design and build couple create their own homeA local designer/builder duo has created a family house radiating warmth and style, reports Cheryl Markosky

The term ‘designer house’ isn’t always flattering. For some, it means a catwalk property that won’t get out of bed for the price of its stamp duty tax.

Untouched and pristine, children aren’t allowed into its principal rooms, and visitors panic about bumping into overpriced artwork worth the price of a luxury automobile.

In the case of an infectiously enthusiastic six-bedroom house in Wimbledon’s Atherton Drive, however, the hand of the interior designer is a light one. No youngster would be afraid of starting a game of tag and no guest a billiards match, for the owners are unlikely to protest.

Although the couple behind the revamped four-storey house run their own local design and building businesses, this is very much their home, to the degree that they were shy of being identified. When they bought the property two years ago, “the layout didn’t work and the interior was quite bland,” says the designer owner. “So we reconfigured it, knocked down an ugly double-height conservatory, dug out the basement and enlarged the attic.”

With four children aged from 11 to 24 and two dogs, the family unit was always at the forefront of space planning. Everyone could be happy in the huge kitchen/dining room, media and games rooms, and a wine store on the excavated lower ground floor. There’s a family room above, and enough bedrooms on the two top levels so no one would be arguing over which tier of the bunk bed they get to sleep on.

The designer owner has bravely used muted and quite dark shades, “which give a luxury, but cosy feel”, walk-in showers wherever possible, and a huge sliding door out onto the garden. She also says a personal foible is not liking seeing toilets when entering a bathroom, so all the conveniences are tucked behind walls.

Having enjoyed the process, even though “it was painful, like childbirth, at the time – and like childbirth, you forget the pain afterwards” – the family is moving on to its next project, hopefully in the same area.

Selling agent John Nouri from Robert Holmes & Company says this is a typical Wimbledon family

house that feels just right. “They’ve replaced the staircase, putting in a nice oval-shaped one that makes a fantastic feature in the hall, dug out the basement to provide more space, and made the house very elegant and warm. There are things you don’t see – underfloor heating and the sound system, for instance – which add a great deal of value too.”

The only downside, Nouri suggests, is there’s no garage. “You could easily put one in, but you would lose a habitable room. And there’s good off-street parking in this quiet cul-de-sac anyway.”

Other pluses are a well-screened garden big enough to kick a football around, close proximity to the Common and Village, and room for an au pair or granny.

A tale of two friendsAdam Shea and Paolo Ulivi, directors of Pickwick Estates talk about how they set out to create the perfect boutique estate agencyLifelong friends Adam Shea and Paolo Ulivi had a vision. To set up and run a boutique style Estate Agency offering the ultimate customer service experience, dealing with all aspects of the property industry which they love. Their vision became a reality in October 2007 when their first of three offices opened its door on Woodwarde Rd, Dulwich. Even through the worst recession in many years in the early days, the business thrived and grew and now employs over 20 staff. What’s the secret? Honesty, hard work, outstanding local knowledge, a good team and a genuine love for the property market.

As an area, we’re so fortunate to have an excellent and varied housing stock: bespoke Architect-designed affairs, smart Victorian homes on quiet streets, well-designed sixties houses on leafy plots, generously proportioned new-builds, and even appealing ex-local authority (“ex-LA” in agent-speak) options. And with many more ‘accidental landlords’ offering their former family houses or bachelor pads to tenants while the sales market lacks the lustre that it’s been famous for these last few years, ours is an area that’s currently home to an amazing range of rental property.

The local rental market is absolutely booming. For most of the area’s Estate Agencies, it is bringing a large percentage of their overall business. And despite the negative attention on the sales market in recent years (and buyers’ understandable procrastination in such a marketplace), there is good news: It’s brilliant to see that the first-time buyers can kick-start their property searches again before Christmas, with the 1% stamp duty threshold now at £175,000 (the previous threshold was £125,000). The Bank of England Bank Rate remaining low is also welcome news. At the top of end of the market where we are particularly busy, after an initial nervousness because of the stamp duty increase over £2,000,000 we are working with quality vendors and buyers who are paying asking prices and beyond.

While the media remains sceptical and schizophrenic, we’re really pleased to see that lots of new and fledgling businesses on Lordship Lane and in surrounding areas are, quite simply, flourishing. We’ve noticed that you can barely see a week out and a weekend in, without a new bijou boutique or eatery appearing or current favourites expanding.

The 3 office area’s additions and improvements aren’t going unnoticed – far from it – great calibre tenants and buyers that include many young professionals from east, west and north London are following friends and flocking here. We relish living here, so we’re not at all surprised that more and more young people and new and established families are looking for homes on our

patch. The shops, bars and restaurants aren’t franchises or huge and anonymous chains. The schools and nurseries impress. The transport options are good and getting even better – it’s wonderful to see that the East London line extension work is almost complete – giving tenants and buyers yet another reason to move here.

The parks, too, are pretty and well-planned spaces, and stand as social centres to their respective postcodes. This year, we had a great time supporting and sponsoring the Dulwich Festival and Fair and the Friends of the Horniman Fair, as well as The Plough Spring Fair. We also sponsored the Screen on the Green at Goose Green. There was a great sense of community at all of these events.

It’s was our 5th anniversary last October of our office on Woodwarde Road and we’re very proud to have expanded to offices 2 & 3 since. We celebrated a record breaking 2012 in both sales and lettings and we’re delighted to move into the New Year with plenty of quality stock.

We have enjoyed a really warm welcome from the local community. Our branding and new website has been well received and we seem to have something of a cult following for our Fiat 500s! And amid the unavoidable doom and gloom in the media on the sales market, we remain both realistic and positive; offering our clients sound, honest advice. We’re been working in the local property industry for many years, and are also portfolio Landlords ourselves, so we have a first-hand understanding of the anxieties of our landlords and vendors, as well as those of the buyer or tenant. It’s a given that there are always real reasons to move, but we’re not going anywhere!

Ace refurbishment serves luxury in WimbledonBuilt four years ago, an imposing six or seven-

bedroom detached house in Wimbledon has since been extensively improved and extended by

its current owners. Just a couple of high lobs away from the hallowed

grass courts of Wimbledon All England Lawn Tennis Club, the house in Burghley Road has the added attraction of planning consent for a garage and lower ground floor swimming pool and spa complex.

The classic interior by Argent Design will allow the incoming buyer to furnish the property in their own style while enjoying contemporary luxury and state-of-the-art home comforts.

A grand entrance hall leads to ground floor space that includes reception, family room or study, and a kitchen and dining room with handmade Smallbone kitchen, Sub-Zero fridge-freezer and wine coolers. The ground floor also contains a second kitchen, a staff bedroom and a gym complete with mezzanine yoga platform.

On the first floor, the master bedroom has his ‘n’ hers dressing rooms and bathrooms, and there are three more en suite bathrooms and a family bathroom. The top floor has a media and games room, and the house offers underfloor heating and air conditioning throughout, and full audio-visual system with iPad

controls for music and TV.At the front of the house, there’s off-street parking

for several cars behind electronically operated gates, and the garden at the rear had a recent makeover from Cameron Landscaping. Security is controlled with video entry, CCTV and motion alarm sensors.

New homes updateSpecial report by Savills site sales manager David Jubb

New-build sales in South London had an exceptional year in 2012,

with international and domestic demand driving areas like Battersea and Nine Elms through the roof. So far 2013 has been no different.

South-West London saw the highest growth over the final

quarter in 2012 with prices rising on average by 1 per cent. Although the South-West is a more domestic market than central London, its annual growth over 2012 was more or less in line with prime central London at 5.2 per cent.

The outlook for the global economy has suddenly started to look brighter and confidence continues to return – even getting a mortgage for first-time buyers seems to be getting that little bit easier. Looking forward, South London new-builds face a number of short-term challenges, which are likely to result in a period of static

prices for the next year or so. This will be particularly prevalent as the market absorbs the impact of increased taxation. However, here at Savills we are seeing that the quality of new-build flats and houses keeps getting better and better.

Metropolitan Clapham Park, the company behind one of the most exciting regeneration projects in the capital – Clapham Park – have recently released the second phase of the development at the Cavendish Building in trendy and leafy Clapham, which offers great outdoor space and a family-friendly environment.

With the Clapham Park project providing nearly 2500 new homes, more than 150 acres of landscaped gardens with new shops, cafes and commercial facilities, the Cavendish Building represents the latest release of spacious apartments.

“ The Georgian Collection offers space and immaculate interior specification while blending with the period architecture and fashionable buzz of Wimbledon Village” Rebecca Littler, London Square

Georgian chicDeveloper London Square has launched

its Georgian Collection, combining grand architectural tradition with latest trends in London

living, in Wimbledon village. Named after famous London squares, the collection’s

four five-bedroom homes – the Grosvenor, the Cavendish, the Bloomsbury and the Belgravia – have views over playing fields. They stand close to Wimbledon Village High Street and half a mile from the All England Lawn Tennis Club.

Traditional facades in brick and stone and an impressive four-storey design reflect the finest elements of Georgian grandeur in an area renowned for its elegant and historic architecture.

The Grosvenor show home launched in January offering high specifications and bespoke craftsmanship. Luxury interiors feature the latest in smart technology and the emphasis is on light and space throughout the home.

A large open-plan kitchen and family room opens onto a terrace leading to the garden. The living room has patio doors also opening onto the garden, and a front dining room is designed for more formal entertaining.

On the upper floors, a master bedroom suite incorporates a dressing room area with wardrobes, and en suite bath and shower. Two of the other four

LAST MILL STANDING!Wandsworth was once driven by mills: windmills, watermills,

mills to grind corn, mills to mix gunpowder, mills to make paperand mills to squeeze the oil from fatty vegetable seeds .

They are now all but gone.Happily the smock mill , Wandsworth Common, remains standing, albeit without its sails.

Once used to drain water from the railway cutting, it is now a landmark, seen by commuters rocking out of Clapham Junction, home to Earlsfield, Wimbledon and darkest Raynes Park.

A fascinating flavour of the Orient, close to Greenwich Park, The Pagoda of Blackheath was once the rented home of gregarious Princess Caroline of Brunswick after her separation from husband George, Prince of Wales.

They were wed at St James’s Palace in 1795 but the royal marriage was stormy and they parted the following year. Caroline remained a prominent figure in high society and entertained at The Pagoda in typically energetic style.

Guests at her Blackheath bunfights included Prime Minister William Pitt and statesmen John Scott Eldon, Charles Grey and Spencer Perceval. She left The Pagoda to travel around the Mediterranean, controversially returning to England to claim her position as Queen when her detached partner became George IV.

Grade II* listed, The Pagoda was designed by Sir William Chambers and built for the Duke of Montague in 1767 at a time when Chinoiserie was highly fashionable. It formed part of the Montague Estate and stood within an extensive walled fruit and vegetable garden.

After Caroline’s notorious residency, enriched by later use as a school for young children, the property was extended in 1855 to become a grand house in its own right. Local camera manufacturer Frank Butcher bought the lease and embellished the interior with arts and crafts panelling in the magnificent double-height hallway and dining room, and oriental lacquered panelling in the drawing room.

Today this Blackheath country house and former home of the questionably good Queen Caroline offers impressive reception rooms, five bedrooms, pagoda room, superb views across London, and flexible family or office space. There’s off-street parking for at least five cars, a third-of-an-acre landscaped garden, and a two-bedroom annexe for nanny or granny.

Special report by Colin Gilbert, lettings manager for Hamptons International Battersea and Wandsworth

We have seen a very positive start to 2013 in the lettings market

in South-West London, with an extremely busy January in both new applicants looking to rent and requests for market appraisals.

This tends to happen annually at the start of the year with those looking to rent coming back to London in the New Year with a renewed vigour to find their new home. Likewise savvy landlords have waited until now to catch this new enthusiasm.

Hamptons lettings had a fantastic 2012 with some excellent figures throughout London and onward expansion of the network, with two new offices into the South-West in the form of our Battersea and Wandsworth and Balham branches. This move derives from our confidence in the ever increasing popularity of these locations and the huge demand we have seen for property here.

We are forecasting a continued interest in SW postcodes and the lettings market is looking stronger than ever, and a number of factors are contributing to this. The buy-to-let market is seeing signs of resurgence as we have already had a significant increase in buyers actively looking to invest in the London rental market. Due to the relatively low interest rates available, and the increasing ability to

obtain higher yields, property is looking like the most attractive option.

Thanks to the Bank of England’s recent Funding for Lending Scheme, buy-to-let mortgages are becoming easier to secure as criteria have become more relaxed and rates far more attractive. Although we are by no means back to the peak levels of pre-2008, the trend towards this cannot be ignored.

Local large-scale development has also really magnified focus south of the river. Although still a few years away, the Battersea Power Station development has seen large-scale publicity in recent weeks after the huge demand it received.

Hamptons have already been approached by potential landlords who are looking at the units as long-term rental investments. Secondly, the regeneration at Nine Elms and its effect on the local area is a hot topic, with again many seeing this as an opportunity to purchase now with a view to reaping the rewards of increased rental demand in the future.

Of course, this popularity is not completely focused on finance. Northcote Road, the Commons, Balham and beyond are simply wonderful places to live. The community and artisan feel to the area cannot be stressed enough, and this is why our staff love living and working here.

The importance of being with the Oscar Wilde setAshley House in Weybridge was once the country retreat of eminent London lawyer Sir George Lewis and his second wife, Elizabeth, who entertained a salon of Victorian artists, writers and politicians here.

West of Walton-on-Thames, the home was the scene of select social gatherings hosted by Sir George and Lady Lewis. Their guests of the day included Oscar Wilde, artists Whistler, Edward Burne-Jones and John Singer Sargent, and Peter Pan author J.M. Barrie.

The wife of drama critic and playwright J. Comyns Carr wrote in her memoirs: “Of weekend visits, none were more joyous than those spent under the hospitable roof of our friends Sir George and Lady Lewis at Walton-on-Thames.”

Sir Edward Burne-Jones, a constant visitor with his wife and children, regularly sought Sir George’s help on legal issues, and wrote to Elizabeth for advice and sympathy. He also painted numerous portraits of the Lewis family.

Whistler did a series of chalk sketches of the Lewises on their terrace, and John Singer Sargent painted both Sir George and Lady Elizabeth and their daughter Katherine. It was at a dinner party

hosted by the Lewises that J.M. Barrie first met Sylvia Llewelyn Davies, mother of the boys who provided the inspiration for Peter Pan.

Grade II listed Ashley House, one of three properties that formed the Lewises’ original Ashley Cottage, is set back behind electronic gates and a gravel driveway. The four-bedroom property includes a grand drawing room, conservatory, dining room, kitchen and breakfast room, and rear garden.

Australian cricketing legend Fred Spofforth, known as The Demon Bowler, is another former resident of Ashley Cottage. He played at the original Ashes game at the Oval in 1882.

Cambray Road, Balham SW12£850,000 Freehold

A stunning fi ve bedroom/two bathroom family house offering nearly 1,700 sq ft of accommodation situated in a quiet residential street just a few moments walk from the Common.

Contact Kinleigh Folkard & Hayward’s Balham branch 020 8675 1123

Tell us how you joined the property industry and briefly describe your career history to date. I got into property completely by accident. I had intended becoming an architect, but left after one year of A-levels to become a trainee estate agent as it seemed far more exciting. I started at an agent near to where I lived in Teddington and joined KFH in 1994. Initially I managed Earlsfield sales branch, followed by Putney Hill, before settling in Balham.

What do you enjoy most about working in this market, and what have been your highlights so far? The best part of working in property is meeting new clients and building a rapport with them. There is nothing quite like the feeling you get when people return to our service having used us before. Balham is incredibly diverse and offers a variety of properties from one-bedroom flats at £300,000 up to Heaver Estate houses at around £3 million. This means we constantly meet a range of people.

Describe the biggest challenges you face on a day-to-day basis. Buying or selling a house is a very personal experience and managing the emotional highs and lows of our clients can be a challenge. At the end of last year we sold a house in Cheriton Square that received multiple offers. The vendor accepted one at £1,175,000 and booked tickets to fly home to Australia. The sale fell through, causing a huge amount

of distress, but we rushed to agree a sale with one of the other bidders and exchanged in three weeks. You can imagine how relieved the vendors were.

What advice would you give anyone considering a career in estate agency? Speak to a variety of agents currently working in the market and research which property sector is right for you. Residential, commercial or investments – the options are endless. Being an estate agent is hard work but very rewarding.

How difficult is the current market for homebuyers, and what advice do you give them? The marketplace is currently incredibly competitive with multiple offers on almost every property in Balham. You must be in the best possible position to ensure you get the home you’re looking for. Pre-agree your mortgage in principle and complete any surveys required. Becoming a cash buyer is also a good option, but being out of the market for a period of time with prices rising can prove very costly, so do your homework.

In your view, how does the South London market differ from other areas of London? Activity levels across much of London are probably very similar at the moment. However, the markets vary from postcode to postcode. Balham has become the area of

choice for buyers who start their search in and around Northcote Road, and end up searching further towards Nightingale Triangle or the Heaver Estate as the area offers more for your money. We see a good amount of first-time buyers with much stronger budgets than those looking in areas like Tooting. Many more buyers who were renting in more expensive areas north of the river are choosing to buy in less expensive postcodes south of the river.

If you were not an estate agent, what career would you choose and why? My dream job would be a top DJ jetting from one set to another, just like David Guetta.

Paul Herring, KFH Balham sales manager, gives his answers to South
