WELCOME TO METROLAND
Welcome to the latest edition of Prestige – our magazine that showcases some of the finest property from across our network of 9 Metroland offices.
As we enter the late Summer/Autumn months of 2024 the most dominant news has been the outcome of the General Election held in July. Nationally we saw Labour secure a significant majority although in Metroland the three Parliamentary constituencies in which our offices sit remain held by the Conservatives (two) and the Lib Dems (one).
In housing policy terms there was little to differentiate the major parties and Labour have said they will focus on speeding up planning and generating more housebuilding, helping first time buyers through stamp duty mitigation, and introducing a reworked Help 2 Buy scheme to assist financing. In the private rental sector we expect to see the end of section 21 (often called no blame) evictions.
In reality it will be economic growth that drives most activities. Inflation has fallen and wages are now growing at above inflation rates meaning that there will be growing confidence in taking major decisions such as moving home.
Affordability is still key and confidence, whilst improving, remains cautious. However the latest forecasts from property portals such as Rightmove and lenders such as the Halifax, now indicate that property values will remain steady or even increase slightly during the year ahead.
The much sought after infrastructure and amenities afforded throughout the Metroland area continues to ensure levels of demand are robust and this is resulting in good numbers of sales being made at strong prices.
As always, obtaining the right advice is key and this is where the extensive experience and knowledge that our teams possess really comes to the fore. We have successfully enabled people to buy and sell, let and rent in all market conditions since 1962.
In Lettings, the continuing surfeit of demand over supply has seen rental values increase significantly over the last year. This rate of increase has slowed although, properties that we manage remain particularly popular with high quality tenants who are willing to pay premium values for property that they know is well maintained and looked after.
With ever increasing legislative demands, our managed services provide both Landlords and Tenants with the peace of mind that their property is in safe hands and meets all safety and legislative requirements.
The new homes market has been subdued in terms of the volume of property coming to the market but the new Government is committed to increasing this significantly and to levels not seen since the 1960’s. We have many exciting client developments already underway and coming to the market in late 2024 and beyond.
Whatever your property needs, we look forward to being of assistance and our experienced and professional teams will be delighted to speak with you, in confidence, and advise how best to realise your plans.

Because
Jo Malone London is delighted to announce a collaboration with a figure widely associated with kindness. The little bear with a big heart: Paddington™. The epitome of seeing the best in everyone and giving ‘just because’, the beloved bear has inspired a series of limited-edition scented gifts from the British fragrance and lifestyle house.
At the heart of this collection is a cologne that celebrates Paddington’s favourite snack, the marmalade sandwiches he hides beneath his famous red hat. A refined take on the most British preserve, Orange Marmalade blends warm woods with orange zest to create a marvellous, golden fragrance.
Whatever the occasion - whether a thank you, a meaningful date or just because - Jo Malone London approaches it with generosity. However big or small the moment or reason for gifting, we want to make it a special one. Just because.
The limited-edition collection includes:
Orange Marmalade Cologne 100ml £124/$140
Orange Marmalade Cologne 30ml £58/$67
A childhood favourite and now our latest collaborator, Paddington conjures up cherished memories of fun-filled trips by train, exploring the British countryside and coastline - always with a picnic in tow. And when it comes to our Orange Marmalade Cologne, really there was no other choice of partner we’d rather share our scent with - or marmalade sandwich, come to that.

Recipe
Jo Malone London Marvellous Marmalade Recipe
Recipe makes 7 × 220g jars
1.5l water
1kg organic oranges
300g sliced rhubarb
1.3kg jam sugar
2g dried edible lavender
2g pink peppercorns, crushed 1 lemon, juiced
Method
1. Place the water and oranges - whole, stalk-end removed - in a heavy-based saucepan. Cover and bring to the boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer for 30 minutes. Remove from the heat and leave contents to cool completely.
2. Once cool, transfer the oranges to a bowl. Strain the cooking liquid, reserving 900ml in a bowl.
3. Halve the oranges, scoop the flesh into a sieve set over the reserved liquid and thoroughly drain the juices. Reserve the rinds. Wrap the strained flesh in muslin, tie tightly with string.
4 Wash and drain the rhubarb stalks. Roughly slice into 5cm rounds.
5. Place the sliced rhubarb and 100ml water into a heavy-based preserving pan. On a low heat, cook gently until broken down. Once softened, turn the heat off.
6. Thinly slice the orange rinds and add to the pan of cooked rhubarb. Add the reserved liquid, muslin-wrapped orange, jam sugar, lavender, crushed pink peppercorns and lemon juice and bring to the boil. Boil for 30 - 35 minutes, until the marmalade reaches setting point (105C on a sugar thermometer).
Note: watch the temperature; you may need to reduce the stove heat during cooking.
7. Once cooked, turn the heat off and remove the muslin parcel. Leave the pan to rest for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Pour into warm sterilised jars. Seal immediately. Store in a cool, dark place.
“Equipment Suggestions
• Copper preserving pan or heavy based saucepan (stainless steel or cast iron)
• Spatula
• Jam funnel with a large hole for easy pouring
• Long-handled wooden spoon
• Electric scales
• Sugar thermometer
• Muslin
• Ladle
• 7 × sterilised lidded jars
• Chopping boards
• Large mixing bowls
Helpful Tips
• Jam sugar is sugar with pectin added.
• Cook the fruit the day or night before and leave to cool overnight - fully cooled fruit is easier to handle and slice.
We are delighted to be partnering with Jo Malone London to celebrate the marvellous Orange Marmalade scent inspired by Paddington’s favourite food. It is exciting to see both brands coming together to celebrate British heritage, as well as the shared values of kindness and generosity, in a campaign that captures Paddington’s essence so beautifully.
