“Yes, the pandemic has revolutionised the property industry, however in many respects, the pandemic has had a surprisingly positive impact. Adversity drives innovation and many firms have fast-tracked their IT projects to enable remote working. This, and a collaborative spirit of cooperation, has made conveyancing in the most challenging of times, possible. As the industry continues to expand and adapt to the ‘new normal, let’s hope the industry does not revert to its old ways.”

“I used Mishon Mackay to sell my flat in Brighton. Throughout a fairly complex and lengthy process, they remained proactive, positive and solutionfocussed. Even when two sales fell through, the property was remarketed immediately and the agent successfuly secured a new buyer extremely quickly each time. I would certainly recommend the agency to other sellers.”
“Having been approached by a number of estate agents over the years offering to sell our flat on seven dials, generally, I hadn’t been that impressed with the service that is provided in this town. That’s until I worked with the team at Mishon Mackay. From the initial valuation, through to sale, George and his team all possessed a huge amount of enthusiasm for the job they do and manage to remain calm and professional throughout. Their work ethic and attention to detail was impressive, especially when it came to viewing feedback which was very much appreciated. The online portal they use for the viewings is extremely valuable and userfriendly, saving us time and energy in what can be an incredibly stressful experience (moving home!)”

WHY ACTSHOULDYOUNOW
While the market is competitive and the area may seem slightly out of reach to those looking for a first-time property, Brighton and Hove are actually perfect locations for first-time buyers with the Help to Buy scheme and a number of new developments, namely our BN Vista site.
10 .com
“Around 65% of the apartments we have sold have been to those using the Help to Buy scheme to secure their dream home. We would encourage buyers to take advantage of the Help to Buy scheme while the opportunity is still there. What are you waiting for?”
Help to Buy in Brighton and Hove
Launched by the government in 2013, Unbiased reports that over 225,000 buyers have taken advantage of the Help to Buy equity loan scheme.
The Help to Buy scheme has played a huge part in the Stonegate Homes BN Vista development exceeding 30% of reservations, and with prices from as low as £235,000, this development gives first-time buyers an opportunity like no other, with
affordability has, to some extent, been obscured by the extraordinary low-interest rates and lenders’ willingness to loan money to perspective homebuyers at amazingly low rates.
Now the figure is an extraordinary 43%. Not only are the figures astonishing but it now almost seems to be normal with both buyers and sellers accepting this situation. The figures are a true mark of a property market that refuses to give up even during the worst cost of living crisis that we have seen in a generation. According to Halifax, not only are we seeing over asking price offers but also at a level that indicates a price increase of nearly 11% in the year to February.
It almost beggars belief that we have not yet run into an affordability problem but that may be coming our way. We know that wages rarely keep up with inflation and increased house prices. Buyers are now looking at almost 7 1/2 times income to afford an average home according to analysts Capital TheEconomics.issuearound
All said and done, property has always been a fantastic investment and during the period of your stewardship of your current home it’s unlikely that you will, either historically or indeed in the future, see the value of your home drop in real terms.
I believe that the current and spectacular rise in house prices is as much to do with a shortage of supply than anything else. We in the property business hope that with an increase in supply, the market will start to behave more normally, whatever that might look like, and that you will be more able to, in the future, rely on securing your new home at the asking price.
Most likely we will see buyer demand drop off slightly as the pressure of rises in the cost of living take hold, plus an increase in stock, giving buyers more choice, will result in a natural adjustment to demand and supply. There are signs that this is the likely outcome that will be massively better than the prospect of a property crash. No one wants that!”

Mortgage rates have increased since October last year and buyers are generally paying more per month for their mortgage. However, interest rates are still historically low and even if they continue to climb towards an expected 2% above base, then they will still look better than they did during the crisis of 1989, or indeed 2007.

process, but it can be avoided. As there are so many moving parts involved in the buying and selling of a property, fall throughs can happen for a number of reasons and unfortunately are not as uncommon as you might think.
We are proud to confirm that as a result of these efforts, our fall through rate is around half the national industry average.
Fall throughs are an inevitable part of the buying and selling process in the property market – but not if we can help it.
While we admit that some circumstances are unavoidable in such a volatile property market, we strive to implement strategies that prioritise the successful sale and purchase of properties for all of our clients, at every step of the way.

In the first quarter of 2021, the national average of fall throughs was 32% and without mitigating factors, fall throughs usually sit at 30% across the property market[1]. With a number of variables involved in the process of exchanging on a property, some things don’t align and unfortunately prevent the sale from completing.
As the market continues to change dramatically, so do the lives of those looking to buy and/or sell properties.

RAISING THE ROOF
Some local authorities are enthusiastic towards airspace developments, and, with the change to permitted development rights (within the ‘The Town and Country Planning (Permitted Development and Miscellaneous Amendments) (England) (Coronavirus) Regulations 2020’), the opportunities for such developments have been increased. At the start, however, it is worth emphasising that a Certificate of Lawfulness will still be required and the new rights do not apply to all buildings.
Developing the airspace above buildings is not only the domain of the institutional property owners. The freehold owners of multi-occupied buildings (including resident owned blocks) can now find more ways to exploit the potential value in building upwards and converting unused airspace into something more valuable.
It’s now nearly two years since the Government introduced new rules allowing blocks of flats to be extended upwards, by two storeys to create new homes, without the need for planning permission.
Finally, as with any development, a developer will need a professional team, funding, surveyor, architect, planning and a solicitor. For further information relating to any of the points raised in this article, please contact Oliver Maxwell-Jones on the details below, or simply scan the QR code.
“Building on top of an existing building presents obvious technical and design challenges” Telephone: 01273 71662 Email: oliver.maxwell-jones@coolebevisllp.com Article by Oliver Maxwell-Jones
smoke detection systems, aerials, etc.) which may need to be re-routed or relocated.
The disposal of the airspace may also be subject to a tenants’ right of first refusal, and consideration will need to be given as to whether notices under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1987 need to be served. A failure to comply with this Act is not only a criminal offence but the anti-avoidance measures mean that a landlord’s failure to comply allows the leaseholders to compulsorily acquire the airspace lease direct from the purchaser developer, for the price it paid.
It will surprise no one that airspace schemes can meet with resistance from existing leaseholders and neighbouring property owners from the outset and during the construction phase. All will have concerns about noise, disruption and the possible impact on the enjoyment of their own properties. Of course, sweeteners can be offered to existing leaseholders, from a newly refurbished building exterior, communal areas, lifts, etc. and, of course, a new roof. All of which is undertaken outside of the established service charge and at no cost to the existing leaseholders. An offer to extend leases, or even a profit share arrangement, are other incentives which might be available. Whatever the deal ultimately ends up being, it will need to be correctly documented.
The core requirements for developing an airspace are similar to any development, the usual components being: land (airspace); services; funding and the actual construction. Building on top of an existing building presents obvious technical and design challenges and developers should also consider the legalities including existing leaseholders’/tenants’ rights, rights of access, light and also party walls. Existing leases should be checked to ensure that the freeholder actually owns the roof and airspace. Any developer needs to check existing rights carefully, especially as a majority of services can be found in roof voids (e.g. air conditioning, lift plant, ventilation, chimneys, fire/

7 SECRETS TO SELLING YOUR HOME AT THE BEST POSSIBLE PRICE
Do not be seduced into a jointagency agreement. It can look a little desperate, end up being more expensive and can be demotivating for the team trying to sell your prized asset.
Ask three agents to value your property. Include a local independent – they tend to care more, have better local knowledge and are generally hungrier and more motivated (I know we are). Interview them as if they were a potential employee. Because in effect they are. Oh! And with regard to internet – only agents : caveat emptor. No really. Caveat Emptor (well I would say that wouldn’t I ?)
Beware the false bestChoosingeconomythebuyer
Do not necessarily go for the highest valuation. A recent Which? Report concluded that overvaluing by just 5% resulted in a delay in completion of 2 months and a 7.7% reduction in eventual price when compared to correctly priced properties. And don’t just automatically choose the agent you may be buying through. There is not always a discernible benefit to be had. Choose the agent who is really active in the marketplace. The one who is most authoritative. The one you feel most comfortable with. Above all, the one you can trust.
Remember: the highest offer is not always the best offer. Discover as much as possible about your buyer’s circumstances. A good agent will know how they are financing the purchase. Whether they are first time buyers. If they have a related transaction. The timescale they are working to. Your final decision will need to take all of these into consideration. And be prepared to negotiate. There is always a negotiation to be had.
Use the online portals, such as rightmove, onthemarket, or zoopla to research the prices that comparable houses are achieving. Drill down to the detail of price per square foot. Or to make it even easier use our Valuation Checker which does all the work for you. Plus get a feel for the estate agents that are most active in your sector of the market.

Do homeworkyour 3 is magicthenumber
This is where the hard work happens. And the key to success is: communication; communication; communication. You need to make yourself available to both your agent and solicitor at all times. Equally, you need to be able to chase them at all times. Clarity, common purpose, communication – and a quality agent – will get you over the line.
Preparation is key. Instruct a solicitor to do your conveyancing early. Ask them to prepare a draft contract and apply for the title deeds while you put together your own paper-work : any relevant building or safety certificates and any work guarantees. It really helps to demonstrate to serious buyers that you too are serious.

3. Go green with your color scheme
1. Curved Furniture Silhouettes
Pick neutral accents like white or black (or even wood!) to pair with your bold green choices. This will help offset the brightness so it doesn’t overwhelm the room.
If you’re designing a room, you should think of the silhouette of your furniture as a way to create a focal point. Do you want it to be tall, bulky and blocky? Or do you want it to be low, curvy and inviting? It may seem like a minor detail, but the shape of the furniture can have an enormous impact on how your guests feel when they walk into your room. If they see this curved, inviting, round chair in the corner, they’ll feel welcomed and drawn towards it to take a seat. You can take this idea one step further by choosing similar silhouettes for all of your furniture: rounded chairs and sofas, with curved lines on the end tables or coffee table too. This will make your space feel cohesive and harmonious.
Incorporating sustainable practices into your home design is not just great for the planet, it’s also a wonderful way to make your home feel fresh and modern. Try using only natural materials in your decor. For example, instead of painting the walls in your living room, use clay-based paint and stencils to create interesting patterns. In addition, consider changing out all of your light bulbs for LEDs, which don’t contain mercury and can save you up to £75 a
5. Lighting
Lighting is one of the most important design elements in any room, but it’s also one of the most overlooked. If you want to get a head start on next year’s hottest looks, focus on updating your lighting! In 2022, homes will be brightening up with lots of natural light and including elegant fixtures that bring in even more illumination. One great way to do this is by replacing your current ceiling fans with a chandelier. Chandeliers are always a classic option, and they’re great for adding a touch of elegance to any room.

year per bulb in electricity costs. You’ll be helping to save the planet and saving money at the same time!
2. Sustainable Practices
I’m going to share 5 of the top home decor trends that will be big in 2022, so anyone can achieve a perfect home.
18 .com
Home decor is the most important part to the feel and mood of your home. It extends beyond just the room you’re staying in. Every decision you make when planning out your home will affect the function and design of your corner of the world. Home decor trends are constantly changing to reflect on what’s trending in other industries like fashion, technology, and whatever else people are buying that we would never want in our house.
4. Living in Harmony With Nature
Whether you’re buying small plants or doing home gardening, blending the outdoors with indoors can be seen in every industry, including commercial and residential. Include roof gardens, growing herbs, and vegetables, or just surrounding your space with potted plants. If you don’t have a garden or outdoor space, you can still enjoy nature by bringing it indoors through decorating with natural materials like wood, stone, and clay.
The color green is making a comeback, and it’s the perfect color for any home decor project you’re working on. Whether you want to add a pop of emerald with a few throw pillows, or you want to go all-out with entire rooms that are green from ceiling to floor, there are tons of ways to incorporate this vibrant hue into your living space.

2. AVOID SAME DAY EXCHANGE AND COMPLETION
You should ensure your Conveyancing Solicitor has all the funds needed from you to close on completion day. Try to include in your budget an amount for other costs like changing locks, domestic connections, other miscellaneous fees and service charges etc.
If you’re in a chain of people moving this is not recommended as it would only take one person to have an issue with the exchange for all your plans to be void. If you are using Help to Buy Equity Loan the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) could take up to 1 week to release the funds between exchange and completion, whilst this may or may not apply to you, it may be relevant to some parties in the chain. Allowing a week between exchange and completion will also give you time to make final arrangements now a definite date is known such as setting up a Royal Mail postal redirect service, which takes up to 5 working days, informing your removals company, booking time off work etc.

Label all the boxes with the room they will be going to in your new house to help your removals company.

Having good neighbours can be a great benefit. As well as making new friends, you can reciprocate keeping an eye on each other’s homes, take in deliveries if you are not at home etc
When you’re tired later and you can’t face anymore unpacking, you can hop straight into a comfy bed and get a good night’s sleep. This way you will feel revived and ready to crack on again in the morning! Putting up curtains in the bedrooms are also a great start.
This will help you on your first night and day once you arrive in your new home to help you find clothes and toiletries that are otherwise packed away.
As when you left your previous home, take meter readings of all your metered services, record the numbers and call the relevant suppliers to ensure your services don’t get cut off, there are no outstanding balances on these services from the previous owners and they have your new details.

3. HOME INSURANCE
If the children are old enough to help, find age appropriate tasks for them so they can feel part of the move. They could help make beverages if old enough, or help with the final clean up and say goodbye to their old house.
Make sure you are fully prepared for the day ahead. Go through each room of your home and ensure that you have not forgotten anything. Do leave your old home in a clean and tidy condition for the new owners; if you have time before the move a spring clean is recommended and do remember if leaving white goods in the kitchen to give them in good condition and consider a professional oven clean. It is a good idea not to pack the vacuum cleaner and give the house a good clean once it is empty.
