WELCOME TO CHRISTIES C O U N T RY Home buyers from all over the world have realised our area has much to offer. Property prices locally have out stripped those in Kingston over the past few years, and there are many reasons for this.

The schools, both state and private, are excellent.

The same can be said of the transport links to London, with regular train services to London Bridge, Victoria and Waterloo, and Morden Underground within easy reach for most commuters. There is also quick road access to the centre of the capital, as well as Gatwick and Heathrow airports, via the A217, A3 and A24 (via M25 and M23).

After a busy week in the office, locals can enjoy an abundance of superb sports and leisure facilities.

The area is renowned for its fantastic golf courses, including the world-famous Walton Heath, which has staged the Ryder Cup, the British Seniors Open, the European Open and US Open Qualifiers.

For those wishing to stay in shape there are numerous health and fitness clubs, and if long and refreshing walks are more your thing, the area is also home to idyllic countryside settings on Banstead Downs, Nonsuch Park, Walton Heath and Epsom Downs.

However, if you prefer to exercise your credit card, fear not – there are some great shopping outlets in Sutton, Epsom, Banstead, Reigate, Kingston, Croydon & Wimbledon.

The fabulous local restaurants also offer some food for thought. Top billing goes to the Regional Thai Taste in Cheam Village alongside the equally tempting eateries at Mimi Coco, Star of India,Lal Akash, Sam Sara and the new Chomps, where chef Sergio creates some of the finest fish and steak dishes for miles around.

Please contact your local Christies Area Sales Executive to discover more.

It has also played host for the past 10 years to the final of the Surrey Juniors team knockout tournament, which is sponsored by Christies.

AU C T I O N S In a difficult market selling your home under the hammer makes sense.

Christies Estate Agents & Auctioneers can advise on all aspects of selling by auction and provide appraisals for properties anywhere in the UK. Our unique approach combines major auction events in London and Birmingham with a network of partner firms throughout the country. Sellers benefit from the best of both worlds – expert local marketing combined with national exposure, it’s the right way to achieve the best possible price for your property.

• It’s fast – exchange contracts on the fall of the gavel, with completion in 20 working days • It’s certain – no chains, no negotiation, no gazumping or gazundering • It’s efficient – serious buyers with cash and finance: no time wasters • It’s transparent – all interested parties have the opportunity to bid • It’s exciting – come along and see for yourself. Competitive bidding in the room works to the seller’s advantage

Then there is Christies Network E, a new online auction combining the speed and certainty of traditional auctions with the best aspects of an estate agency sale. The winning bidder secures a Christies Network E Exclusivity Agreement – a fixed period (normally four weeks) in which to arrange surveys and finance prior to exchanging contracts, safe in the knowledge they will not be gazumped.

They pay a deposit of 1 per cent of the purchase price (subject to a minimum £3500) in part payment for the property and the seller undertakes not to sell to anyone else during this period.

Everyone is happy – the seller has a serious buyer who is committed to the transaction and the buyer knows their purchase price is secure.

For more information about buying or selling with Christies Network E auctions please contact Christies Network Auctions on 020 8643 7777 and we will be pleased to help.

DESIGN & BUILD In recent years more and more homeowners are tending to stay in the same house for the long term – typically in excess of 10-15 years. This in turn has led to a significant increase in families needing to extend their home rather than move.

The Christies Design & Build department’s team of architects, planning advisers and expert builders provides invaluable assistance on all aspects of home extension and improvements.

Every need is taken care of with services include planning, design, architecture, funding (often mezzanine), feasibility, valuations, construction, project management, landscaping, interior design and site surveys.

The Design & Build team has a remarkable track record for innovative and creative home extensions and new builds. All it takes is a quick look

at some of the “before and after” examples to appreciate just what can be achieved and to give you the spur to turn your home dreams into reality.

This free advisory service is offered to all clients and prospective buyers who are genuinely interested in purchasing one of our properties.

Contact Christies Design & Build for an initial free consultation to discuss your home improvement plans.
