Review 2020
Welcome marchand petit prime waterfront & country house review 2020 The Specialist’s View on the South Hams Luxury Property Market “Still ahead of the game!” No one envisaged what 2020 would bring. All that was on our minds as 2019 drew to a close was Brexit. Little did we know that something much bigger and scarier was going to take the world by storm – Covid-19!! Never before have any of us experienced such devastation. As we entered the first lockdown in March 2020 everyone thought the property market was going to be non-existent, but how wrong we were, particularly in the South Hams. What transpired was unbelievable. A sea of buyers came running from overcrowded cities to find a safe haven in South Devon and remote working became the norm. Subsequently 2020 turned out to be a record-breaking year for the sales of premium property. So, let’s take a look at what emerged in 2020. One thing we all learnt was the importance of community and in this edition we reflect on the importance of those close relationships. We hope you enjoy this year’s Review showcasing a selection of the beautiful properties we have sold. Demand is still continuing so if you are looking to buy or sell in 2021 do not forget to contact us – we are here to help!

KEEPING AN EYE ON THE PROPERTY MARKET FOR YOU THE FACTS & FIGURES Everything about 2020 has been unpredictable and surprisingly sales over £750,000 have been unprecedented. When the country went into a national lock down and companies across the UK furloughed staff (a word we never realised existed) all businesses were filled with dread. At Marchand Petit little did we know how busy we would be during the first lock down. What we experienced was a huge rise in enquiries from people living in London and the home counties looking to move to the South Hams to escape the increasing Covid cases in London.
The second group of clients would normally disappear to their second homes abroad during the winter months in search of the sun. Suddenly they were looking for another holiday home perhaps a second, third or even fourth and had budgets to match - £2,000,000, £3,000,000, £4,000,000 or even more, however their requirements were very specific. Those buyers are still searching!
• In fact, there was more demand than supply of property on the market between £750,000 £1,250,000. The question is if your property has not sold are you with the right estate agent?
When the lock down was eased the market went into orbit and to say we were busy would be an understatement - this continued until November. The market remains positive even if momentum has eased to give us time to catch our breath.
• Demand and supply for property over £1,250,000 plus was more evenly matched but again if you are not sold, are you using the right agent?
What does the future hold? Many feel activity will continue over the coming months, although economic stability will play a key role in keeping the property sector buoyant. According to Nationwide, UK house prices have seen the biggest annual rise last month with an average of 5%. Many feel the first quarter might lose a bit of momentum due to Brexit. But positively for the area we live in the demand is always high for good quality premium property. So our advice is for those looking to sell in 2021 – be ready and be the first to market.
There were two very distinctive groups of buyers looking. The first group of people were those who realised working from home was totally possible, finding their companies encouraging this new working pattern, their search had to include a home office. Information confirmed by Rightmove intel: • Between June and October this year, 28% more new properties came to market compared to the same period last year, and of all those new listings, there was an annual *Data Source: Rightmove Hub

jump of 326% in listings that mentioned terms like ‘office’, ‘workspace’ and ‘working from home’ in the property description.
In 2020 we agreed sales on over 106 properties even while being locked down for 2 months!!

The Millbrook Inn, South Pool the summer we use our BBQ and paella as a way to feed these hungry sailors without compromising on quality and are looking to expand on this with exciting new ideas for 2021. While in the winter we know people are traveling to us to eat and as such want to reward that commitment with a meal and an experience that makes it worthwhile. Head chef Dave is creating menus with a purpose and a focus on the end goal that we are aiming for, he is doing this through seasonality, concept and execution e.g. the right ingredients, cooked the right way, with a clear focus on why it’s being done. Creating an environment of comfort and confidence that allows guests to feel encouraged to ask questions and not feel pressure to have any prior knowledge of food and drink. This is done through training staff to be engaging, approachable and knowledgeable and who want to help someone have the best experience possible. The kind of staff who take pride in being able to share their knowledge and teach something to a guest who wants to learn, but does so because they want to, not because they have to understand what is on offer. Building on the natural advantages on offer to us; the location, the village, the people who come here, the diverse high-quality larder that surrounds us and most importantly doing it justice. With this in mind we are aiming to make The Millbrook Inn the casual fine dining establishment of the South Hams. We acknowledge that the pub has two sides to it; in the summer, people travel to us by boat, in the short tidal window available to them and as such we get enormously busy. While in the winter we are much more of a traditional country pub where our locals are massively important. This split personality allows the team to bring far more ideas to life than would otherwise be possible. In

Local residents around the pub play a huge role in the success of the business while we feel that the pub has a massive effect on the village as a social hub, alongside the church and the village hall. Without each one helping the other, none will thrive. Marchand Petit’s knowledge and understanding of both the pub and surrounding area means the right people move to this part of the world and actively support local businesses. This has been proven time and again as many are now friendly locals of the pub and community.
Prime Waterfront & Country House Department community 1. NOUN community (noun) · communities (plural noun) · the community (noun) “a particular area or place considered together with its inhabitants” For 30 years Marchand Petit have been supporting the local community and this year during the Covid pandemic community has been more important than ever. Everyone has been touched by this devastating virus. Throughout this review we show the importance of relationships and how the results can benefit buyers and purchasers alike. In countries, cities, towns and villages, communities have come together to support each other during these unprecedented and difficult times. People in these neighbourhoods have looked after each other, from collecting medicines for the old or vulnerable, to local public houses diversifying to deliver ready-made meals and groceries. Local village shops became the hub of each local community keeping everyone supplied with essentials including a friendly face and for some the only contact they had with the outside world. If locals could not meet up in their village halls, churches or local hostelries then there was always ZOOM! Another medium we knew little about before 2020. Zoom dinner parties, quizzes and for those working, meetings. Consequently, one thing that has become important for people searching for property is finding a location with this supportive network of facilities, just in case this should ever happen again. Having a good public house, a village shop or other useful facilities such as golf clubs, hotels, restaurants all add value to a property. In South Pool, the Millbrook Inn, recently taken over by a new team headed by Charlie Brooking and Chloe May Jukes, incredible hosts, together with an outstanding chef Dave Gobbett, means it has become a destination - a place people travel to visit. All this is positive news for the residents owning property in the village, adding probably as much as 20% to their property values. But South Pool is not alone; there are many outstanding villages in the South Hams. Within our local communities all businesses have been affected - our retail shops, public houses, hotels, beauticians, hairdressers and many more. So as a local business it is now even more important than ever to support each other. If we want to see our High Streets survive, use local businesses and keep our communities thriving, because in turn, they will keep the value of your property positive.

Prime Waterfront & Country House Department Mary De'arth Vendor - Yanston Farm Some people’s perception is that buying property is an easy process. However, buying a property with the help of knowledgeable and professional estate agents can make this job so much easier. Mary sold her property, Yanston Farm, with us this year with a view to purchasing a property in France. Having gone through a long process of trying to find a suitable property several years ago, relocating from the South East, Mary came to Marchand Petit and met Prunella. The journey began. Prunella took her on a whirlwind tour of the South Hams which ended in finding the perfect property. Prunella very quickly understood the types of property they were looking for and they found Yanston Farm and it has been a wonderful home for them and their family ever since. Fast forward to 2020 Mary was looking to sell, and potentially move to France, and they called on Prunella’s knowledge and expertise once again, but this time to sell their home. Mary commented “Prunella Martin had originally sold us Yanston Farm. She was professional and personable, so it was an easy choice to return to her for the sale process when we decided to sell. During this process we had very efficient communications in arranging viewings and receiving feedback following. Both Prunella and Daniel have many years of experience in the South Hams property market and were available to support us through the process.”

Prime Waterfront & Country House Department Reaching the Right People Many ask us “Why are you so successful in selling premium property?” Answer: “We reach the right buyers!”
To make sure you get the best price for your property it is essential to make sure you reach the right buyers. Over the last 10 years it has become apparent that over 50% of our buyers looking for property in the premium end of the property market move from London and the South East, quickly followed by buyers from the Midlands. Interestingly this year we have seen an increase in local buyers but on further investigation many of these people have already relocated into the area and are renting in the hope they find themselves in an advantageous position to be the first to be informed of new suitable properties coming to the market.

THE BUYER’S JOURNEY
“
Outstanding views both from the property and the purchaser! - Graham Lee, Buyer Outer Reach, Kingswear
”
“I found buying with Marchand Petit a very comfortable process. We started looking in the South Hams and met with a range of agents, clearly Marchand Petit have a very strong presence with considerable local knowledge and understanding. Their focus on the South Hams means that they have a true familiarity of the area and can provide the real assistance in helping people to find what they are looking for. We found that we had a good relationship with every staff member we met on our property journey with you and found Prunella and The Prime Waterfront and Country House Team incredibly friendly and efficient, always at the property waiting for us on arrival.”

WHAT A COMPLIMENT! Graham Lee has recently bought a property through Marchand Petit and is also about to sell one through us – putting him in the unique position of being both a buyer and vendor. We took some time to chat with him and ask how he found the buying process, and what his experiences were of searching for property in the South Hams.
What was it like buying in a pandemic? “Buying and selling in these unusual times, when many others were migrating from the city to the South Hams, we felt that some other agents took advantage of this and some other properties were over-priced. All the properties we visited with Marchand Petit we felt were priced correctly and in line with the market. Furthermore, every property we visited during the pandemic the team took all the appropriate safety precautions and behaved responsibly which reflected well on the company.”
Prime Waterfront & Country House Department
“
Would you recommend us? I would strongly recommend you and your Prime Waterfront & Country House team, as an outstanding South Hams agent. Your local knowledge and service is excellent. Not only that but the property listings themselves are significantly ahead of other agents. Quite often when looking on portals I found that the property photographs were lacking something or not a good representation of the property. However, your property details were extensive with detailed photography, floorplans and descriptions, far superior to other agents. When buying remotely it is so important that you can trust the agent’s representation of a property in the details so not to be disappointed when making the long journey to view. Prunella’s knowledge of the market and area helped us appreciate what we were looking for and where. We look forward to continuing to work with Marchand Petit in the future and would definitely recommend people using you as estate agents.

YEALM’S FIRST RESIDENTS BEGIN RIVERSIDE DREAM
Imagine waking up to the tranquil sounds of water flowing past your home every morning. This is the idyllic scene that greets Vince and Sue Ashe, who were two of the first residents to move into The Yealm, in the village of Newton Ferrers, South Devon. The couple purchased one of the ground-floor apartments in Yealm Wood – a contemporary space comprising four homes made of zinc, wood and glass, curved and articulated to make the most of the wonderful views out over the estuary. WATERSIDE FAMILY HOLIDAYS “We live in Ashtead, Surrey, and have dreamed about having a bolthole on the river ever since we stayed in a waterside property on holiday in Bali in 2019. We saw The Yealm advertised in The Telegraph so thought we’d take a look at the development. We realised it would be the perfect year-round holiday destination to spend time with our two grown-up children. We also have our first grandchild on the way, so we’re keen to have a

base for fun, relaxing family holidays. We’d like to get a boat to potter around in, as well as paddle boards to explore the river – not to mention going fishing! We’re keen to be on the water as well as in the water.” HOMES DESIGNED FOR LIVING “It’s lovely that the old Yealm Hotel has been revitalised. It has been very sensitively restored and many of the original features have been retained. They’ve just been brought into the 21st century! We feel that Yealm Wood is an extension of this. It’s not just a square block – a lot of thought has been put into the architecture, and the homes really fit into the landscape. And they’ve made the most of the stunning views! We’re impressed with the communal areas, too. The grounds have been really thought through – a lot of time and effort has gone into the plot and layout. The woodland walks will be beautiful, and touches like the fire pit and stone seating area will be well used.”
Prime Waterfront & Country House Department
SMOOTH PURCHASING PROCESS “Because it was a new development and we were buying off plan, acquiring our apartment was smooth and speedy, particularly as it was a second home purchase. From deposit to exchange took approximately a month. Simon Friend, Red Earth owner and The Yealm developer was very cooperative and helpful with sorting things out. And from a decor perspective, we are very satisfied with the colours, wooden flooring and carpets. We’re truly delighted with our apartment.” If you would like to join the Ashes at one of the south-west’s most beautiful waterside locations, come and see for yourself what living at The Yealm would really be like. The development and show apartment are open and ready for viewings by appointment with Marchand Petit.

Prime Waterfront & Country House Department WHISPER LIST Many of our clients are private people and want to keep their business deals confidential – with this in mind we created our ‘Whisper Service’. This is where we have properties on our books, but we do not put them on the open market or advertise them. Instead, we use our extensive knowledge and data base to match these properties to people looking to buy. There is a general perception that as soon as a house is on the open market and listed on the property portals, it will find a buyer. But what if you want to keep your house sale private, or if there are elements of the house which do not show the property to its best advantage?
Look no further, we are here to help! Some competitors have tried to offer the same service but without an extensive data base this is very hard to execute.
If you are interested in learning more about this unique service please call our Prime Waterfront & Country House team on 01548 855590.
