ask the expert…

…lettings agent

QWhat are your predictions for the spring lettings market?

Sophie Levy, lettings manager for Marsh & Parsons Barnes, replies . . .

AThe battle of available property against the number of actively registered applicants continues

– with three people chasing every property.

The corporate family market is active with a good level of enquiries coming via our Corporate and

Relocation Department for four-to-five-bedroom houses. Families are particularly attracted to Barnes because of the great schools, and tenants are keen to settle in their new home in plenty of time before the new school year.

These prospective tenants are in fierce competition with professional sharers in their late twenties or thirties who are unable to get onto the property ladder. Professional workers are increasingly moving to Barnes from central areas such as Kensington and Chelsea because they get more for their money, and can enjoy the relaxed villagey lifestyle as well as excellent transport links into central London.

We’ve also been experiencing the side effects of a booming sales market, where a severe shortage of properties for sale in Barnes Village has resulted in an influx of buyers needing rented accommodation. This inevitably forces rental prices upwards.

As we approach the peak summer months, there also seems to be an increase in the number of people looking to renovate their own homes and rent while they do the improvements. These refurbishments, generally in larger family homes, mean an additional rise in enquiries for accommodation for six to 12 months.

Many landlords are taking advantage of the peak rental yields expected over the Olympic period, and we’ve had a high number of short-let properties come to the market in the past few weeks. While we’ve started to receive some

interest, we continue to advise caution to landlords when considering marketing for the Olympic period. A longer-term tenancy will generally bring a more secure, guaranteed income with a tenant who is more likely to take care of the property and treat it as their own home.

village vibeAlastair Summerfield of Douglas & Gordon Clapham South takes South on a guided tour of Abbeville RoadATTRACTIONS Clapham’s best kept secret: moments from Clapham Common and the bustling High Street lies the pretty and historic Abbeville Village, featuring a parade of shops of mostly independent and family-run businesses.

SHOPS The street is home to an assortment of boutique stores, restaurants, cafés and a gastropub and you can be assured of excellent service together with the friendly village atmosphere. This includes Taftan; the excellent Flower and Garden; Grand Passions, a great place for perfect presents; Les Sardines, where you can pick up some unique French antiques; and Whispers for relaxation and pampering. Cook is invaluable for the last minute dinner, and Treohan’s corner shop and hardware department is where you can find anything from horseradish sauce to exactly the right size light bulb in one go. The Mini Mart is open all hours. Of course, we couldn’t be without the vet, Starbucks, Abbeville Wines or the two hairdressers.

TOP STREETS All the roads have something to offer. Some are moments from the common while others have the benefit of longer gardens. Bigger houses are found on Elms Road and Rodenhurst Road.

RESTAURANTS AND BARS Abbeville, as the name suggest, has its roots firmly in France and they are still showing through. We have the fantastic Le Petit Boulanger with its delicious fresh bread, croissants and coffee, Le Chardon, Abbeville Kitchen, Newtons, and new to the village is Bistro Union – sister restaurant to Trinity in Clapham Old Town. For something lower key The Abbeville pub has a great atmosphere and does excellent food too. We couldn’t live without the Cumin Club takeaway, the Village Tandoori, and Pizza Express – a must for children’s tea and the Sauvignon to go with it!

LEISURE With Clapham Common on your doorstep, there is no excuse for not enjoying the outdoor life.

SCHOOLS Bonneville School, St Mary’s and Macaulay are three of fantastic state schools. Some nearby private schools are Eaton House, and Parkgate House, Broomwood Hall and Thomas’s.

TRANSPORT Both Clapham Common and Clapham South tube stations are on your doorstep and the Victoria line starts at Brixton. There are numerous bus routes including the 137, straight to Sloane Square.

marketviewWill a new 7 per cent rate of stamp duty on residences of £2 million-plus have an effect on the market

south of the river, asks Cheryl MarkoskyThe 7 per cent rate could have an impact down the south-west corridor, where buyers are arguably more domestic and price sensitive than in central London, suggests Lucian Cook, Savills director of residential research.

However, he believes there could be a knock-on impact from central London in terms of buyer demand. “If the market weakens in central London there might be less wealth flowing down the corridor. But the flipside could be more domestic demand for property under £2 million in south west London, especially from buyers looking to avoid extra stamp duty by moving out of central London.”

The stamp duty increase is likely to have a large effect on the family market in south-west London, as this is a desirable part of the capital with good schools where the value of a family home exceeds £2 million, points out George Franks at Douglas & Gordon.

“This may push families, who are already feeling the squeeze, further out of London to find more for their money and suitable properties below the threshold. Or it could delay their move until they have saved the extra £40,000 minimum they will need,” he explains.

Franks says he’s already seen some buyers consider opting out of sales in areas like Putney, Battersea and Clapham, instead looking for property below £2 million. “Vendors are aware this is a considerable increase in transaction costs for some families, so properties valued just above the £2 million mark will see the most turbulent times, with some being reduced by 2 per cent. However, with property increasing in value rapidly, this amount will soon be swallowed up.”

Robert Leigh of Featherstone Leigh believes that although there might be some short-term concerns at this end of the market, in general there will be minimal disruption to sales and completions. “While most transactions at this level are to local buyers who recognise the strength of the market, even the small number of international purchasers will find the 7 per cent reasonable, as it is in line, if not lower, than many overseas countries.”

The rise will cause problems for buyers who buy at stamp duty level, as they have to wait for the market to rise before they can sell at a profit, unless they have added significant value, cautions Jenny Holland from Wooster & Stock.

thewordSpecial report by Edward Foley, director of Winkworth Wimbledon VillageIt is nearly 25 years since I started my career in estate agency and one

thing that has not changed is the welcome increase in activity after the clocks change in March. Spring is here and the extra daylight means extra viewings at the end of the day leading to more offers and more activity in both sales and lettings.

There is plenty to look forward to in Wimbledon over the coming months, with the Queen visiting in May, our world famous tennis tournament, and this year the Olympic torch passing through on 23 July followed by the Olympic tennis.

The first few months of this year have been busier than expected helped by a shortage of quality property available for sale. The residential property market remains buoyant and, in some cases, we have surprised both our clients and ourselves at the level of prices we have achieved.

Prime locations such as Wimbledon Village and Coombe do not necessarily reflect the market in the country as a whole. However, buyers past and present have found these areas a safe investment. An excellent selection of private and state schools, low crime and easy access to central London attract buyers looking to move out of town for a more rural feel.

The recent announcement by Chancellor George Osborne to increase stamp duty land tax to 7 per cent for residential properties over £2 million will inevitably cause some price bunching just below that level, and some houses optimistically priced over £2 million will have to reduce their asking prices or accept offers within

the new SDLT band. However, I don’t think it will be a great deterrent to those who need to buy a larger family home in the area.

Soaring demand for rental property continues and has created a market in which landlords have been able to thrive. For investors with disposable cash, there are some attractive buy-to-let mortgage deals currently available and this has led to an increase in the number of rental properties coming onto the market. We always have a good selection of blue-chip tenants from both the corporate and private sectors that appreciate what Wimbledon and Coombe have to offer.

We have embraced social media in the last year and now have our own office Facebook page, Winkworth Wimbledon Village, as well as our own office Twitter account @WimbledonHouses. The social media revolution is creeping into estate agency at a pace and, with 845 million active users on Facebook, it seemed logical to advertise our clients’ properties there as well. All our office properties are now advertised on Facebook as well as the traditional property portals.

Like many others, I was sceptical to begin with, however the response has been much better than expected with several properties let and one sold as a direct result of social media. If you need convincing, look at how many people are using their smartphones in your carriage next time you are on the train.

Gwyneth in full bloom Look out for the stars of stage and screen among the colourful blooms at this year’s RHS Chelsea Flower Show, from May 22 to 26. A flourishing Gwyneth Paltrow is pictured drawing the crowds at one of the show gardens at last year’s horticultural extravaganza.

Browse and renovateDevelopers or buyers looking for older properties to renovate can visit a new website dedicated to unmodernised homes for sale across the UK.

Unmodernised.com features a live search function of unmodernised property, plus news and features for potential buyers. Estate agents upload property details to the website, and users can search an area or price range. Results include estate agents’ details and leads go directly to the agents.

Founder Julian Bryson said: “Our experience has proven that there is enormous pent-up demand for unmodernised property, either for a personal project or as a means to investment. We aim to be the first port of call for anyone looking for an unmodernised property.”

15 nominations for this year’s ESTASJacksons Estate Agents is preparing for the red carpet treatment after gaining a record number of nominations for an upcoming glitzy industry awards ceremony.

The agency has received 15 nominations for the 9th annual ESTAS (Estate and Letting Agent Awards). “It’s the most we’ve had and we’re thrilled. It demonstrates what huge strides we’ve made, and strive

to continue to do so,” said Jacksons director Simon Scott.

Jacksons has seven estate agencies covering South West London in Balham, Earlsfield, Streatham, Wandsworth, Wandsworth Common, Tooting and Battersea. The ESTAS ceremony for more than 500 agents takes place on April 20 the Hilton Park Lane.

Macmillan Merton Spring Fair at Christ Church Hall, Copse Hill, on Saturday April 28 will feature stalls of seasonal plants, home produce, clothes and gifts. The event by Macmillan Cancer Support is to raise funds for a Children and Young Person Late Effect Consultant for the Royal Marsden in Sutton.

Four floors of inside living space totalling more than 3000 sq ft includes a studio or office at the bottom of the rear garden that could be reinstated as the garage. A basement excavation, currently used as a family and media room, could provide extra accommodation space if you need it.

The master bedroom has an en suite bathroom, freestanding bath with stone trim, and walnut surround. The house is on the southern one-way section of Albert Bridge Road and is handy for Battersea Park.

PE fun runParents, pupils and locals put on their trainers for a fun run at Macaulay School in Clapham to raise funds for the PE department.

Estate agent Marsh & Parsons sponsored the event and sales director Jane Kelly said: “The school always puts on such wonderful, fun activities for the children. It brings the local community together and each year we are excited to be part of it.”

Kew for ticketsKew the Music, a series of summer outdoor concerts at Kew Gardens in Richmond from July 3 to 8, is to be sponsored by Winkworth estate agents for the second year running.

Amber Rampley, Winkworth marketing director, said: “We have some really exciting initiatives lined up including giving away two pairs of tickets to every concert in our online competition. We look forward to meeting and greeting as many people as possible.”

This year’s concert line-up includes Status Quo, M People, Pink Martini, James Morrison, Will Young, and The Gipsy Kings.

Offering to sell for freeFoxtons is opening two more London offices: Earlsfield on April 14 and Pimlico and Westminster on April 28.

To celebrate the launches, Foxtons is inviting homeowners to sell their property for free with a 0 per cent commission offer at the two new offices. The agency has expanded its network of café-style offices by 12 in the last two years to bring the total to 36.

Square deal signedJohn D Wood & Co has signed a three-year title sponsorship of Battersea’s Summer in the Square. This year’s free family fun day is on Saturday May 12 from 10am to 5pm.

Now in its third year, the event brings together the local community and raises money for two local charities: the Battersea Summer Scheme and the Katherine Low Settlement. It will include stacks of games and activities for children plus a farmers market of 100 stalls.

The estate agency also sponsors Battersea’s Christmas Carols event. “Both are great fun for all the family and support very good causes,“ said John D Wood & Co associate director Alex Oppenheim.

DOUBLE-FRONTED HOUSE

Classic-contemporary mix is in a top class locationWalk your children to their classes at Honeywell Infant and Junior Schools, both rated outstanding by Ofsted inspectors, from a refurbished Victorian house in Honeywell Road, Battersea.

Honeywell juniors won Sport England’s Activemark Gold award last year, and at the end of March the whole school walked a mile for Sport Relief around Wandsworth Common in the sunshine. Academic results are excellent and it’s all on your doorstep, so your young ones should have no trouble getting in.

The double-fronted detached house between Northcote Road and Wandsworth Common has been updated in a classic-contemporary combination that maximises the property’s height and width. With extra-height doors and original features reinstated, the home has 3336 sq ft of inside living and entertaining space on four floors, plus front and rear gardens.

There are two main reception spaces. The ground floor – with walnut flooring – has an elegant double-length sitting room, a children’s playroom, and a study. The basement is one huge space with kitchen, dining area and seating areas with sofas.

A Hamptons-style, double-height glass extension adds extra light and space, and double glass doors

and balconies link the two floors. Full-width glass doors open out onto the patio and 37ft wide rear garden – one of the biggest on the road.

Bathed with light from the front windows, a first floor landing leads to four bedrooms and two family bathrooms. The top floor has solid oak flooring and two more bedrooms including the master containing en suite bathroom, dressing room and eaves storage.

Honeywell Road, Battersea SW11, £3.45m, Hamptons International 020 7498 8686

COUNTRY STYLE

West End showcaseHis style is described as ‘minimalism deluxe’ and his interiors can be seen at some of the top West End restaurants and private members’ clubs. He has also refurbished this grand country-style house that backs onto Putney Heath.

Swedish-born Martin Brudnizki, who formed his own design studio in 2000, revitalized Scott’s seafood restaurant in Mayfair in an extensive redesign. He also created a 1930s-style interior and custom furniture for The Club at the Ivy, on the three floors above the restaurant.

Gimme HendrickClever tricks to add light and space have transformed a Wandsworth home, says Cheryl MarkoskyAstute notions to open up a Victorian family house and bath it in natural sunlight are second nature to Shelley Laddie, an advertising executive who’s lived in Zambia, South Africa and America.

“Having come all this way, I wanted a typical London house and was at great pains to hold onto the original features while adding light and space,” says Shelley.

She bought her between-the-commons home in Hendrick Avenue in 2004 with husband Miles, a retired lawyer, and was determined “to create a home together for how we live”, rather than worry about adding for investment purposes. However, the Laddies have ended up with a house perfect for them that will also suit a wide range of purchasers.

Going against the grain, the Laddies gave up square footage to straighten off a “really awful kitchen extension designed for a little table.” The upside was gaining patio space that’s part of an easy-to-maintain Zen garden, adds Shelley.

A clever trick to make good use of the 19th century rooms was to split doors in half. “They look like the originals,” explains Shelley, “but you can open just one half, which doesn’t take up space and allows room for furniture.”

On the top floor, fireplaces were updated, radiators adroitly moved to shorter eaves walls to add more useable space, and a wall was shifted by six inches to widen an area that held the water tank and produce a new bathroom with a freestanding shower and washbasin.

The Laddies also bravely sacrificed a bedroom, knocking it through to form a huge dressing room off the master bedroom. “Some people think it’s a bit self-indulgent, but it means we have lots of storage and wardrobe space, so stuff isn’t stored under beds or in spare rooms.” As the couple have grandchildren and overseas friends staying, they don’t have to shuffle clothes and other items out of guest rooms.

The ground floor that was originally three rooms has been completely opened up into a huge living/dining/kitchen space, with double doors between the

living and dining areas. “No one wants to be the person stuck working in the kitchen, with everyone else feeling embarrassed in a separate dining room,” Shelley points out.

Other space-saving ideas include stealing the back half of a shed to provide a guest loo, and digging out the basement to fashion a walk-in cupboard, shower room, and huge study/TV room with folding doors to create two rooms, ideal for a teenager or au pair.

moneytipLOOKING BEYOND THE RATE

When choosing a variable mortgage, look beyond the pay rate at how the rate is set. Two high street lenders

recently announced standard variable rate (SVR) increases, meaning anyone on a discount mortgage or on SVR could see their monthly payments increase even though base rate is unchanged.

Taking a base rate tracker mortgage provides the borrower with the guarantee that their rate will only change when the

Bank of England chooses. With lenders looking to pass on increased funding costs, it may be worth considering a tracker for its transparency, as an SVR rise cannot be discounted.

MONEY

Budget burden is not so bad

Stamp duty increase is fairer than mansion tax, says Duncan FarmerWhen George Osborne announced in his Budget that stamp duty would rise to seven per cent for homes costing more than £2 million,

there was understandable fury among estate agents and house hunters. Now the dust has settled, market analysts agree that this extra burden on buyers is not quite so bad as it first appeared.

Immediately after the Budget, James Greenwood of Stacks Property Search, which finds properties for buyers across London and Surrey, said: “Properties between £2m and £2.5m are going to be almost impossible to market. As buying agents, we will be asking vendors to settle the difference in stamp duty on behalf of our buyers by taking a reduction in price.”

But of course, Osborne could have made life far more difficult for homeowners had he gone ahead with the so-called Mansion Tax – payable not just when homes were bought and sold but annually by their owners. Opponents of that tax had complained that many of the people

who would suffer most would have been those who owned a large home but had little ready cash. It seems that the stamp duty increase was at least fairer.

In a more measured assessment of the impact of the new rate of stamp duty, Miles Meacock, Strutt & Parker’s head of residential sales in London, said the market in the capital and surrounding counties, notably Surrey, can withstand this hit.

“I think it will be highly unlikely our market will take a hammering,” he said. “London is resilient. Prices have increased significantly over the past few years so there is some room for a small adjustment. London is swelled by foreign investors, many of whom want to invest in Central London, whatever the tax implications, and with Italian stamp duty, for example, set at 10 per cent, London should still seem a slightly less painful investment option. London is an expensive city to live in but there are a lot of very good reasons for that: it has brilliant education, culture and general way of life.”

And locally, says Meacock, buyers will simply factor the additional expense into

LENDING IS RISINGMortgage lending has increased for seven months in a row, according to figures from the Council of Mortgage Lenders, with data showing that lending for house purchase remained brisk in advance of the end of the stamp duty concession for first-time buyers at the end of March.

Although February’s gross lending total was estimated at £10.7 billion, only a shade higher than January’s total of £10.65 billion, the figure was 14 per cent higher than in February 2011 (£9.4 billion). A seasonal decline is normally expected in the winter months, but the launch of the NewBuy scheme should help to bolster lending in the coming months.

That could potentially offset a dip in lending activity brought about by the end of the first-time buyer stamp duty concession.

their own budget. “We believe people will build in the stamp duty cost into their overall calculation on property purchase price. I can see that someone wanting to buy for £2.5 million will now only look up to £2.4 million as a purchase price so there will be a small knock-on effect. For someone looking for a substantial house between £8 and £20 million, they will just view it as a one off financial hit.

“Mansion tax as a rolling annual levy would be much more punitive, hitting the elderly (for instance), who can ill afford to pay such levels but happen to be in £2 million-plus houses that they may have bought 40 years ago.”

Of much greater significance for lenders and borrowers is what the chancellor chose not to say in his Budget speech. Despite calls from across the market for an extension of the stamp duty exemption for first-time buyers, the chancellor allowed it to lapse, as expected. People are affected by this on a much larger scale, with around 96,000 first-time buyers taking out mortgages for properties in the £125,000 to £250,000 price range in 2011.

Ticking interest-only loansMartin Wheatley, incoming head of the Financial Conduct Authority (which will be the regulator responsible for consumer protection when the Financial Services Authority is dismantled), referred to the sizeable stock of outstanding interest-only mortgages as a ‘ticking time bomb’.

Interest-only loans are particularly popular at the top end of the market. However, analysis by the Council of Mortgage Lenders shows that the majority of interest-only loans maturing throughout this decade have a comfortable equity cushion. For loans maturing over the next

three years, over half have an equity stake of over 70 per cent of the property value, and a further third have a stake of more than 45 per cent of the property value.

At the other end of the scale there are very few mortgages with smaller equity stakes due to mature in the next three years. In total it estimates there are 6000 interest-only mortgages – just one per cent of all interest-only loans due to mature over that time – with less than 10 per cent equity. Hardly a time bomb, and barely ticking.

YIELDS GO SOUTHIn its latest report on the investment market, Knight Frank is calling for much greater investment in the private rented sector, which it is forecasting to grow over the next five years, just as it has boomed in the past decade.

The report, which is both fascinating and radical in its examination of new investment models, such as ‘build to let’, says that tighter mortgage conditions are forcing a growing number of would-be buyers to rent instead. And while demand is greatest in the prime areas of central London, the squeeze on jobs and incomes in the financial sector is leading many tenants to downsize their homes and look for more modest accommodation on the capital’s fringes.

As a result, says the report, landlords can find far greater yields in less central areas, notably the southern side of London such as Putney, Richmond and Kingston.

New homes update

Report by Paul Bennett, sales and marketing director of St James HomesIn spite of a tough economic climate, we at St James have had a very exciting start to

the year. Demand for ‘off plan’ sales at all our new-build developments across the South East has far exceeded both our forecasts and expectations.

We believe this is down to a combination of factors: choosing the right location, employing the best architectural styles, and finishing our homes to a very high specification. At St James, we constantly review our house designs to reflect the feedback we receive from our customers.

New-build homes have undergone an architectural evolution in the last 30 years due to a fundamental shift in consumer demand. Separate reception rooms once epitomised sophisticated living, and layouts were structured around areas specifically designated as kitchens, living or dining rooms. Upstairs, floor plans were designed to include as many bedrooms and bathrooms as possible, with en suites regarded as the height of luxury.

Such traditional architectural styles have been transformed in the last decade in response to the requirements for more flexible living accommodation.

Astute house hunters now favour

open plan living where the ground floor accommodation, such as the kitchen, living room and dining room, effortlessly combine and in turn maximise space.

Our customer feedback has also shown that buyers are now prepared to sacrifice an extra en suite in return for a dedicated dressing area – a feature that was traditionally considered the exclusive preserve of the more affluent purchaser.

With the property ladder so difficult to climb for many in current times, first homes now need to evolve to become family homes, meaning living areas are required to adapt to accommodate the lifestyle demands that children bring.

Townhouse-style homes are proving very popular, where the living accommodation is divided across three floors, enabling families to have an open plan family space on the ground floor, with a more formal ‘adult’ living room upstairs.

Irrespective of budget, house buyers now repeatedly place flexible living, open plan layouts, space and light at the top of the list of what they look for in a new property. Furthermore, features such as dressing rooms, outside space, and garden rooms, which were once seen as a bonus, are now a prerequisite for modern day living.

NEW MOVES

Almost half of homeowners living in Victorian properties converted into flats will consider a new-build next time they buy, a new independent report has revealed.

Its findings showed that owners of older properties are forced to fork out thousands to cover repairs and replacements within a few years of moving in. On average each paid out £8000 to maintain their home during their first five years of owning the property.

The report, commissioned by Cathedral Group and United House and prepared by 20/20 Research, was based on interviews with Victorian conversion owners across the UK and showed 45 per cent would consider a new-build next time they buy. Young owners aged under 40 were particularly likely to switch to new-build when they next move.

“Wellington Gate is a magnificent new addition to one of London’s most prestigious addresses, offering substantial family homes, with superior design and unrivalled views.”Paul Vallone, Managing Director of Berkeley (Urban Renaissance)

WELLINGTON GATE

Exceptional homes in a premier locationLeading housebuilder Berkeley is set to launch the first phase at London’s premier new address – Wellington Gate, Wimbledon, by way of an exceptional collection of just eight executive family homes.

Wellington Gate offers unrivalled views and is located only one mile from Wimbledon Village, which boasts an abundance of boutique shops, restaurants and a wide choice of quality schools, both private and state.

Set within extensive green surroundings, Wellington Gate gives the air of a spacious, private estate including established wooded areas and open spaces, and homes which combine majestic architecture, elegant interiors and stunning landscaping.

The first phase of eight homes benefit from a split of contemporary and traditional architectural styles. The traditional will boast a cinema and games room, study and garage. The contemporary designed will also benefit from individual features which include a large paved roof terrace, south facing balconies, green roofs, sunroom and garages.

The houses all benefit from a beautiful entrance hall and large reception rooms, with bedrooms complemented by a spacious living area, large dining room, There are also a number of additional features specific to each house, such as a leisure and entertainment suite which includes a heated indoor pool, adjoining gym and a constellation of Swarovski crystals providing starry sky lighting to the pool area.

The kitchens at each home incorporate individually designed units and composite stone or limestone worktops. Likewise the bathrooms spare no luxury, with opulent marble surrounding each bathtub and

a unique combination of large format stone, porcelain, marble or polished plaster on the walls and floors.

All houses include an electric gated vehicle and pedestrian entrance, audio/video entry system and integrated security system. Later phases at Wellington Gate will include an exclusive collection of 26 luxury apartments.

Wellington Gate benefits from superb transport links with easy access to the West End and the City by Tube, overground rail and by car with the A3 motorway nearby, from where central London can be reached by car in around 30 minutes.

Invest in KenningtonKennington’s local infrastructure is on the rise as the United States builds its new embassy at Nine Elms, and major redevelopment plans are under way at Vauxhall Cross.

Property prices will climb accordingly so now would be a good time to invest in a five-bedroom house on tree-lined Fentiman Road. The freehold property’s ground floor was recently extended to create an open plan kitchen and breakfast room with dining area,

double-height ceiling, and French windows into the 67ft south-west-facing rear garden.

The house includes a 31ft double drawing room, two bathrooms (one en suite), and an en suite shower room. There’s also off-street parking for two cars, as well as residents’ parking.

Budgeting for WimbledonCarolyn Beilby is hoping the new 7 per cent top rate of stamp duty will not make it harder to sell her family’s six-bedroom Victorian villa in Wimbledon.

“This increase will have a significant effect on me. It may affect the price I get for my property as the purchaser will have to adjust to this extra tax charge,” she told the Sunday Times for its Money Budget Special.

The 4070 sq ft home where she lives with her children Sadie, 25, Max, 23, and Christian, 13, has high ceilings, large sash windows, and a superb entrance hall leading to the main reception. There’s a 70ft rear garden and front off-street parking.

HOUSE AND ANNEXE

O2 be on the terraceThe roof terrace of a hilltop house on Marmora Road, East Dulwich, has superb skyline views that stretch from the tall chimneys of Battersea Power Station to the towers of the O2 Arena.

The current owners bought the property seven years ago when they needed a granny annexe. They converted the lower ground floor into a two-bedroom flat complete with a separate entrance.

In the main part of the house, the large reception has original features on show, a cherry wood fitted kitchen contains all the modern appliances you’d expect, and there’s a separate dining and family room.

On the top two floors are five double bedrooms and two recently fitted bathrooms, and the floors could be divided to create individual space for a teenager or au pair.

A huge cellar can provide plenty of storage space for both parts of the house, which also has a large landscaped garden and garage. Nearest stations are Honor Oak and Peckham Rye.

Paul Zammit, head of Savills Barnes lettings, reportsThe Barnes market is gaining momentum as we move into May, as spring is traditionally the beginning of the busier family house market period.

Applicant levels are still fairly strong, and demand for properties in the mid-market ranges between £1800 and £4000 per month remain a constant. At Savills we look after a large corporate client base, and are often the first port of call for many relocation agents and corporate enquiries.

Barnes is unique in London as it still retains a true village atmosphere but is within easy striking distance of central London with all its amenities and attractions. Applicants are attracted to Barnes for this reason, and also because of the many excellent schools in the area. Highlights in the Barnes calendar include the Summer Fete, the Food Fair in October – which Savills is sponsoring – and the farmers market held every Saturday.

We get a lot of requests from tenants asking for properties that are fully managed, and we find this can often clinch the deal as it gives them total peace of mind and security. For landlords who ask what are the benefits of having a property fully managed by Savills, we provide an exceptional service with our locally based property management team.

Members of the team regularly come on valuations with us, so that our landlords can put a face to a name, and the team can get to know our managed properties inside out.

Applicants who come to live in Barnes often end up staying for a long time, much longer than they originally intended. It is not as transitory an area as, say, neighbouring Richmond. Our longest tenancy is actually 12 years, for a family who are very content with their property and continue to renew year on year. A lot of our tenants want to stay for longer periods, renew their contracts and put down roots into the area.

Tell us how you joined the property industry and briefly describe your career history to date. I previously worked

in The City and then owned a clothing company but soon realised fashion was not for me (my wife will testify to this). I joined the Battersea office of John D Wood & Co in 2004 and became an associate director in 2010.

What do you enjoy most about working in this market, and what have been your highlights so far? I take huge pleasure in selling properties for clients who first bought through me perhaps as first-time buyers or young couples, helping them to find a larger property for their growing family. It is testament to the Company and its people, that our clients instruct us time and time again.

What advice would you give to anyone considering a career in estate agency? Have a sense of humour and a skin thicker than a rhinoceros. This is not the industry to join if you are flustered by tours of houses involving tight deadlines, traffic jams, a plethora of keys and property details, security alarms, dogs, and map reading.

How difficult is the current market for homebuyers, and what advice do you give them? With the continuing surge in London property prices, those who do have the means to get onto the property ladder should without doubt have their finances in place and solicitors instructed prior to having their offer accepted. This will ensure a prompt exchange of contracts in order to secure the property with the minimum of fuss.

What are your predictions for the property market in South London for the next few years? The development of Battersea Power Station and the arrival of the American Embassy are the talk of the town. But as demand for traditional bricks and mortar shows no sign of abating, the forecast for growth is extremely positive. For example, in 2011 the Battersea market increased by 17.5 per cent against a backdrop of euro crises and economic gloom.

Where, in your view, is the best place to live south of the river and why? Many people move to Battersea to be close to the park, and of course the flats and

houses on Albert Bridge Road and Prince of Wales Drive are synonymous with that. However, I personally think the properties in the area known as The Sisters have real width to them as well good-sized gardens, and compare very well in price versus the prime roads around Battersea Park.

If you were not an estate agent, what career would you choose and why?A ski guide in the winter and a fishing guide in the summer. Perhaps not a long-term career path but it would be great fun.

Alex Oppenheim, associate director of John D Wood in Battersea, gives his answers to South
