Q&A

ASKTHEEXPERT

Why is the rental market increasingly busy over the summer months?

Q

L T O P

Anna Czaban, lettings manager at Knight Frank Clapham, replies ...

T

he lettings market tends to be seasonal and the summer has historically always been the busiest. Whilst families are looking for new houses throughout the year, the majority of households tend to move between May and September in time to settle in before the new school term.

Families being relocated from overseas often want to secure their new homes in advance to ensure they leave sufficient time to secure places in their desired schools. The market for smaller apartments is usually booming in August and September.

Our Residential Corporate Services have already noticed an uplift in junior executives being relocated to London, and while the City is busy hiring new graduates they will all require accommodation in London. They typically want one and two-bedroom apartments finished to a high standard, with easy access to a tube or train station.

In addition to applicants who are relocating, there will be tenancies coming to an end and tenants who are looking for a change will start searching again.

Properties present better and moving is generally easier when the weather is better, which often encourages tenants to move from their current property and find new accommodation.

Last year our new applicant registration peaked in September. So far this year, our agreed tenancies have been steadily increasing month on month and we are predicting that this trend will continue throughout the summer.

MARKETVIEW Are tenants doomed to rent rises and will buy-to-let landlords sell up? Jenny Knight looks at the Budget implications.

G

TRO PHYH DUL OME WIC SIN H

eorge Osborne set out to make life easier for homeowners and harder for buy-to-let landlords in a Budget that will slash the tax relief landlords receive on mortgage interest payments.

According to Grainne Gilmore, head of UK Residential Research at Knight Frank: “Those planning to purchase a buy-to-let property will have to factor these new rules into their calculations, and this could affect the offers they are willing to make. If the relatively low yield environment seen today, especially in the South of England, is still evident when these changes start to come into force, there could be upward pressure on rents.”

The chancellor also removed the ‘wear and tear allowance’, that from April next year will be replaced by a system that allows tax relief only on specific items. But as a boost to private householders with a spare room, he raised the amount of taxfree rent earnings to £7500 a year.

Research by PwC shows that when interest rates rise – probably next year – buy-to-let landlords will start to make a loss. That sounds worrying. Will higher rents and fewer properties to rent be on the cards? In some places maybe, but not locally, according to south London agents.

Clare Hampson, head of lettings at Savills Battersea Park, says: “We get more and more buy-to-let investors in south west London. Nothing deters them – they only increase. Rents may not have increased by a huge amount but house prices have risen so much that they look to capital growth. We also see many foreigners buying in London. Today a British man who lives in Singapore said he was worried he would not be able to afford to buy in London when he returns, so he is looking for a buyto-let. People are being sensible and putting money into property: a buy-to-let may later be a home for their children.“ Charles Weller of Palace Gate Lettings says: “The tax relief reduction is a gradual thing, so it will not have an immediate impact. In London investors look for capital growth and London is a good solid long-term investment.

“The change in tax relief on wear and tear may tip the balance between furnished and unfurnished, which is about 50/50 now. Landlords will still get the benefit of tax relief when they replace something, instead of a regular allowance.”

THE WORD Alex Howard Baker, residential director at Savills Putney, reports on the summer market

OUTOF TOWNBUY

T

he property market’s annual fluctuations always keep us busy in different sectors of the market and this summer is no different, with a quieter family house market and a very active new homes one.

Many families leave London for their holidays and resume their search to buy in the autumn. Some started looking before their break to establish a better idea of exactly what they are looking for, and what they can and cannot compromise on, so when they renew their search it can be succinct and avoid wasting time.

Buyers that have remained in London and are looking now are particularly focused, so we have been having plenty of constructive viewings and getting to know our buyers well, to help find them the perfect property. Whilst there is a common myth that vendors choose not to market their properties over the summer, it is always worth getting in touch with us to find out about those properties that are not online, as there are some absolute gems available.

Despite the traditionally quieter market, we have had some really great Guide price £1,775,000 success stories. We have just sold an absolutely fantastic un-modernised The fully restored major portion of stately Thurle Grange house on St Simon’s Avenue, which generated a serious amount of interest, country house is for sale in an Area of Outstanding and have also agreed the sale of a fabulous semi-detached house in Natural Beauty near the Thames riverside villages of Howards Lane after best bids.

Savills Henleyproperties, giving them the opportunity to put their own stamp on the on-Thames 01491 843001. building without paying a premium for someone else’s tastes. If not genuinely un-modernised, buyers tend to look for houses or flats of a very high standard, so we always advise vendors who have a tired property to spruce it up before launching it to the market. Whether a larger job, such as replacing a 1970s ‘avocado’ bathroom suite, or a lick of paint and new carpets, such efforts can often increase the property’s appeal and it is well worth asking our advice about what buyers will look for.

oxtons opened its office in Tooting in September 2014. Sales manager Bradley Slade is watching the area change.

“It seems that every month a new coffee shop or restaurant opens. The atmosphere here is so vibrant and buzzing. There are lots of new professionals moving in from the nearby Wimbledon, Balham, Clapham and Battersea areas, looking for better value for their money. We get a lot of first-time buyers and investors spending £300,000 to £400,000 on very nice one-bedroom flats and the yields are solid.

“We also get families buying big houses after selling their flats in Clapham or Balham for £500,000 to £700,000 and spending £700,000 to £900,000 on a lovely three or four bedroom house in a tree-lined street with good transport links and local schools. Just a mile down the road from Balham the increase in value becomes evident.

“On weekends the restaurants are busy here and every evening of the week on Tooting Common there are exercise classes of some sort. I even saw a pop-up cinema. It’s all part of the way the area is changing.”

One of the latest trends to hit Tooting is the thirty-somethings who are now joining in fun at the bingo sessions at the Art Deco, former Granada Cinema.

WORD ON THE STREET WHAT HAPPENED TO THE PREDICTED POST-ELECTION BOUNCE IN PROPERTY SALES?

MAYOW SHORT HEAD OF SAVILLS BATTERSEA PARK Picture by Yuki Shima

ONYOURBIKE

Post-election, the market has picked up across the board. The family housing market in particular has picked up as moving becomes a necessity for growing families. The market is always likely to be quieter during the summer holidays, but overall we expect a pick up come September. Price levels have increased dramatically in the past few years so inevitably we are currently seeing a levelling in the market.

Some of this is due to SDLT changes in December 2014, although we continue to sell properties at the top end of the market where the SDLT is at the highest bracket. This includes recently a penthouse and a period house at their asking prices of £15.5m and £6.75m respectively. Buyers transacting now are taking a longer-term view to cover this cost and buying the best they can afford, with an expectation of not moving on as quickly.

Transport Minister Lord Ahmad visited Richmond to see first-hand how cycling investment is making journeys simpler, faster and safer.

Richmond is one of the most cycle-friendly boroughs in the capital, and five per cent of all trips from there are made by bicycle. The minister was given a tour of key cycling locations and met local councillors to discuss how new facilities and cycle routes are transforming the lives of commuter and leisure cyclists.

BABY,IT’S COOLINSIDE! I

t used to be that the biggest decorating decision a new parent had when getting ready to bring baby home was between pink or blue paint for the nursery. But today’s ultra-interiors-conscious breed of mums and dads are keen to surround their offspring with cutting edge design and stimulating colours and shapes.

Playful, contemporary and versatile pieces that can be adapted and rearranged for the growing needs of the growing child are an increasingly important area to some household names like Habitat and John Lewis – as well as specialist design outlets.

There’s a growing children’s furniture market and just as even very young children now like to have a say in what they wear, they have an equally strong view about how their rooms should look, too.

>>SHAPE UP Classical or contemporary, in surface decoration or in multifaceted accessories, bold geometric patterns add instant impact to a space.

And works equally well in modern or traditional homes.

(Lucknow-Day Rug £245, www.floorstory.co.uk) >>IT’S GOT THAT ZING Orange has been a hot colour for a while and shows no sign of fading away. It’s a perfect highlight in mid-century schemes and nothing lifts the mood quite like it. (Pudding Sofa £1195 by Loaf, below)) >>FEAT OF CLAY The dazzling steel and glass structures that throw their shapes on London’s skyline better look to their metal.

Architects have adopted the humble brick, admiring its texture and subtle colour variation, for some fine city new builds. >>OUTSIDE IN If you are without a plot of your own, an indoor garden could exercise your green fingers.

Succulents under glass or air plants in macramé potholders spring from the 1970s but look so right now.

Pongo bed, £495; Doug shelving units, parrot, tree and house, each £160 and Benny beanbag, £28 all Habitat

>>PLAIN SPEAKING It’s probably the unfussy lines of Shaker-style kitchens that have allowed them such a long life. Put simply - isn’t it time to shake them off. >>PADDED SELLS Upholstered headboards offer a boutique-hotel finish to humbler, domestic bedrooms but have you thought what lurks in those softly padded folds? Just asking... >>LIVING A LIE Big sofas with pop-out recliners take up so much space they leave little room for any more living. Our lounges are suffocating. Can we wait ‘til bedtime for a lie-down? >>WAY OUT WEST So hip it’s not! Interiors gurus are trying to convince us that wild-west interiors are the next big thing. But who is going rooting tooting for a wall full of dream catchers?

TEARSBEFORE TRIUMPH The builder had a smashing time but in the end a wonderful house was revealed. Fabian Bhundia talks to Jenny Knight.

W

hen the row of cottages was erected for farm workers they had a simple charm, but after years of neglect most were derelict.

Fabian Bhundia, a property developer from north Londonbased Arilian Homes, bought one of the houses at an auction, confident that after handling 30 or 40 renovations, he was up to the job of creating his own home.

“The difference was that I usually have an architect, quantity surveyor and structural engineer. I had to do all those jobs myself.

“The worst moment came when the builder called to say the ceiling had to be replaced. I nearly cried but when I saw the beautiful joists that had been exposed, I decided to leave them exposed to add to the room height.”

Fabian bought the house in October 2013 and after delays with planning he started the building work in mid-2014.

“The cottages were built in the late 17th century or early 18th and in the 1970s were let to tenants for a tiny rent on the promise that they were kept in good repair, but that didn’t happen.

Because the cottages are listed, Fabian was restricted in the changes he could make. His lucky break was that the row had been built with tunnels running through each house to allow access to the back, but over time his alleyway had been bricked up. This meant he could use the extra space to ensure that each of the three bedrooms could be fitted with en-suite bathrooms.

“Last year was hectic. I also got married.

Towards the end of the year one room was ready for me to stay in, so I started the commute to my work in north London. During the works it was horrible living in the dust and the dirt, and my commute took an-hour-and-a-half in the mornings and nearly as long back at night. Once the house was finished, I decided that although I love Clapham, I couldn’t cope with the travelling, so with a lot of regret are having to sell our beautiful home.

“I loved it working with a listed building, keeping the traditional look and adding a few modern elements. The exterior and interior are beautiful and as you walk in it feels like home.”

THEFOCUS SHIRLEY RHODES KENNINGTON LETTINGS MANAGER

APASSION FORLETTINGS She considers herself a fortunate person and her track record as an estate agent certainly shows a magic touch.

Shirley was born in Colombia and came to England in 2004 to study a degree in marketing. While studying, she had many jobs including agency hospitality work at exciting locations such as Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle, Kensington Palace and the Natural History Museum.

“It was amazing to work for Prince Charles and the royal family in these wonderful places,” she said. After graduating, it was time for a career and she landed her first job as an estate agent with a firm in Canary Wharf.

“I was hooked. After two months I was put in charge of an office and a team, but as the lets were mainly rooms, after six or seven months I looked for something better and went to another agency letting flats and houses in South London.

After one year I became the manager. I chose lettings rather than sales because I like quick processes and results”.

Three years later, she decided to move to a bigger agency and applied to three firms. All offered her a job

and she chose Lauristons in Kennington, where she has lived for the past six years. Once again her luck was in.

Lauristons’ Kennington office opened earlier in the year covering from Brixton up to the City including Tower Bridge and as far east as Peckham and Dulwich, together with Vauxhall on their doorstep.

“Even though it was a cold start, we have had fantastic results due to the Lauristons reputation in South London for over 20 years. Both landlords and tenants have provided great feedback regarding our exceptional service. I have no doubt this office will continue to be extremely successful,” says Shirley.

“At the moment, we are experiencing high demand for quality properties in Kennington, Oval and Vauxhall.

We are letting most properties within seven days of coming onto the market, so we need to keep up with the busy summer demands from both professionals and students.”

When off duty, Shirley – who speaks fluent Spanish – loves sport and shares a passion for sports cars with her husband Ashley.

Additionally, demand from both local and international buyers ensures that developers continue to press ahead with innovative schemes. However, there is one area in south-west London emerging quicker than most.

Streatham has seen significant growth over the last few years. Property prices have risen by 63.9 per cent since 2010 and 12 per cent in the past 12 months.

Its buyer demographic is also changing – KFH’s Q2 market data determines that first-time buyers (52 per cent) and buy-to-let investors (14 per cent) make up a high proportion of all buyers in the area.

The first half of the year has seen KFH successfully market two large schemes in Streatham – Pembroke Lodge and Norwich House – with a third development made up of 35 new properties scheduled to launch in the coming months.

Norwich House is an impressive modernist building offering a collection of 98 homes, including a mix of studio, one and two-bedroom apartments.

eabody’s Rosendale Road in Herne Hill is a new-build development of two-bedroom apartments and cottages helping to revitalise the Rosendale Estate conservation area.

Reflecting the architecture of the surrounding area, the development was designed by Haworth Tompkins. Project architect Tom Gibson says: “The estate is a designated conservation area and sits alongside Peabody Hill, a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation. As such, the new buildings needed to preserve and enhance the special character of the estate.

“The new buildings respond to the scale and the materials of the existing estate, but employ a contemporary architectural language to distinguish this phase of development from its Edwardian and Victorian predecessors.”

DRIVING LOANS

The AA may be best known for helping motorists in their hour of need, as well as producing road maps and hotel guides, but it has signed a deal with Bank of Ireland to enter the mortgage market.

The first loans will probably be on the market next year, and while there is no hint of whether the organisation will give existing members preferential rates, the deal with Bank of Ireland suggests its mortgages will be competitive as the bank is the mortgage partner of the Post Office, which appears to have good deals.

Another possible new entrant is Secure Trust Bank, a specialist in personal and car loans, which has said it is considering a move into home lending. As more players enter the market, more competition should mean enticing offers abound.

MONEYTIP

After Mark Carney hinted that interest rates could rise around the turn of the year, the era of ultra-low mortgages may soon be coming to an end. How will it affect you?

Those on standard variable rate (SVR) may not be immediately affected by a base rate increase. Trackerrate borrowers will feel the knock-on effect: if you would struggle to pay your mortgage if rates did rise, you need to consider fixing to protect yourself against any increase.

Those on fixed rates will, of course, be unaffected by any base rate increase. However, if you don’t have long left on your current deal, you may want to consider remortgaging and securing a rate now before any rise takes place.

Total equity pensioners release from their homes every day to fund their retirement.

Mortgages approved in 2014 and 2015 that were on a fixed rate.

NUMBERCRUNCHING Homeowners who would be unable to keep up repayments if the base rate rose by three percentage points, according to Moody’s, the ratings agency.

RAISINGINTEREST

Analysts forecast that UK rates will go up next February, reports Duncan Farmer

M

ark Carney, the governor of the Bank of England, has given his clearest indication yet of when interest rates will rise, saying, in response to comments by Janet Yellen, chair of the US Federal Reserve Board, that a rate rise was imminent in America: “The decision as to when to [raise rates] will probably come into sharper relief around the turn of this year.”

The good news is that most analysts believe American rates will go up in December and that the UK will follow suit in February.

That gives borrowers here at least five months to decide what to do to protect themselves from a rise in their monthly mortgage repayments. The market is clearly not pricing in a sharp rise, and fixed rates remain very attractive – the Post Office, for example, has a two-year fixed deal at 1.19 per cent – and there is little excuse for borrowers taking out or sticking with their lender’s standard-variable product.

That said, experts do not believe that once the base rate starts to go up, it will climb dramatically. Mark Carney has often talked about a gradual increase, and Laura Lambie, of Investec, believes that the rate will be somewhere around 2 to 2.5 per cent in 2020 – a long way short of the long-term average before the financial crisis of about four per cent.

The other imponderable is that interest rates may not rise at all. When the Bank’s Monetary Policy Committee does meet to set rates, it will have on its mind the sharp falls in the Chinese stock market and wider worries about its economy; the state of Greece and its bailout; and inflation, unemployment and economic growth.

Inflation has been low, but that is due in large part to the falling oil price, but that will soon drop out of the equation and, as economic growth is doing well, a rate rise may be more likely.

A rate rise will come as a shock to borrowers who took out their first mortgage within the past five years as they have been used to stability and record low rates. Longer-term borrowers who used the era of low interest rates to pay off large – or small, regular – chunks of their loan will not fare so badly as any rise will apply only to their outstanding debt.

In whichever camp you fall, now is a good time to examine all your options.

David Cameron’s comments that he wants estate agents to flag up house sales to people buying UK homes using ‘dirty’ money from the proceeds of crime or dodgy overseas regimes seems to suggest that neither banks nor solicitors are doing a particularly good job at enforcing money laundering regulations.

When I recently applied for a mortgage, both my lender and lawyer wanted extensive proof of the origins of the money I put down as a deposit. It was a laborious and time-consuming process accounting for various sums of money, all of which I had come by legitimately, but not once did my estate agent ask how I had made it.

I would have been surprised if he had: the sales process is slow enough without adding another tier of bureaucracy, especially when that work could and should have been done by other professionals.

A beautiful home needs a beautiful mortgage Whether you are buying your first home, next home or need to remortgage, look no further than SPF Private Clients for specialist mortgage advice.

Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.

There will be a fee for mortgage advice. The precise amount will depend upon your circumstances and loan amount. We estimate that the fee will be 0.67% of the amount borrowed.

Well connected?

Where to buy

Kennington has a fantastic fan base but is still to a degree relatively unknown to many buyers. It still has a village atmosphere and is close to the river with a lovely mix of grand Georgian terraces, leafy Georgian squares and some great local pubs, parks, restaurants and cafés.

Completely. There are four easily accessible underground stations for the Northern and Victoria lines, whisking you to the City or West End. The river and the many excellent cultural haunts along the South bank are within walking distance, as is Westminster.

Excellent local schools include Archbishop Sumner Church of England Primary, Walnut Tree Walk Primary, Lilian Bayliss Academy and Archbishop Tenison’s.

There are also some great local nurseries such as Toad Hall and The Pelican.

Sally White is a great local café for home-baked cakes, lunches and coffee. There are some great restaurants such as Amici, Kennington Tandoori and Gandhi’s, and the local pubs such as the Duchy, the Tommyfield, the Dog House and the Prince of Wales are all fantastic too.

For the larger Georgian houses, Kennington Road, West Square and Kennington Park Road are the most sought-after spots along with some highly desirable garden squares such as Cleaver Square and Walcot Square.

MANTON HOUSE

ocated on Wimbledon’s prestigious Drax Estate, the handsome and substantial Manton House offers versatile family accommodation: six bedrooms, including a luxuriously-appointed master suite, four reception rooms, a games room and a detached staff annexe.

Extensive refurbishment has introduced contemporary luxury such as air-conditioning, Grafik Eye lighting and limestone flooring with underfloor heating.

n a secluded Wimbledon Village location, this superb example of an Arts and Crafts house has been transformed for the 21st century with a comprehensive restoration, refurbishment and extension programme.

Period features such as bronze casement windows in hardwood frames set in natural stone surrounds with decorative window furniture now combine with the latest in modern technology and building techniques.

At Lampton House, the finest materials in the hands of the finest craftsmen have created seamless extensions using traditional methods blended with high-tech contemporary comforts.

The seven-bedroom property stands on a half-acre plot behind a gated front drive.

A Bath stone pillared porch with tessellated flooring opens into a marble hall with pillared arches and glass doors looking through to the magnificent garden beyond.

Bringing as much natural light as possible into the property was a huge focus of the redesign and one of the home’s most impressive features is the basement courtyard lounge room, which together with the mosaic indoor swimming pool is flooded with light from the glass atrium roof above.

The basement leisure complex includes a gym and sauna with shower facilities, two staff bedrooms with en suite shower rooms and a temperature controlled wine cellar.

Main living space on the ground and first floors features two fine reception rooms, generous office, media room and fabulous Clive Christian kitchen, breakfast and reception overlooking the rear terrace and beautifully landscaped gardens.

COLLEGE LOCATION

dward Alleyn, founder of Dulwich College, was an impresario, entrepreneur and one of the leading actors of his era – the 16th century.

With links to Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, he was a key figure in a highly creative and innovative period of English literary history. As a member of the Lord Admiral’s Men, he played most of Christopher Marlowe’s great roles including Faustus and Tamburlaine.

Born in Bishopsgate to a publican father in 1566, Alleyn became owner and manager of the Fortune Theatre after a highly successful acting career. He retired from acting but Queen Elizabeth I herself is said to have insisted on his return to the stage.

Aged 47, Alleyn bought the manorial estate of Dulwich from Sir Francis Calton for £4,900. Originally he considered founding a hospital on the site but instead chose to establish a school, Alleyn’s College of God’s Gift, now Dulwich College.

His bequest set solid values for the school such as sound learning, strong artistic pursuits and good manners. It also encouraged ‘poor scholars’ to make a full education available to all, irrespective of social background and financial resources.

Named after the celebrated college founder, exclusive Alleyn Park borders the college grounds and is one of the prime residential addresses in Dulwich. Currently for sale at Alleyn Park, a superb double-fronted house offers almost 3200 sq ft of inside space on two floors together with a 97ft garden.

The five-bedroom property has three reception rooms, a study, two bathrooms and a utility room. It also has a garage and plenty of off-street parking on the carriage driveway at the front.

CRICKET PENTHOUSE O

ne of the oldest cricket grounds in England, The Vine was donated to the people of Sevenoaks in 1773 by John Frederick Sackville, the 3rd Duke of Dorset and owner of Knole House.

Last year, Sevenoaks Vine Cricket Club – sponsored by Savills – finished a highly successful season with three honours: Kent Premier League Champions, the Brian Luckhurst Spirit of Cricket award and the Clark Trophy.

A superb new penthouse apartment at an exclusive development in Sackville Place, named after the illustrious cricketing benefactor, has magnificent views across the historic turf of The Vine, where willow has been striking leather since 1734.

With 3090 sq ft of contemporary inside space, the property on the second and third floors of the development features an orangery leading to an impressive roof terrace that looks out over The Vine towards Knole Golf Course. Total outside space is 2260 sq ft including three balconies accessed from the dining room and two of the three bedrooms.

The high-spec design by the current owners includes a bespoke kitchen and bathroom suites fitted by Chambers, Chesney fireplaces with gas fires, limestone and wooden flooring with underfloor heating, air conditioning and plantation shutters. The apartment is fully wired for sound, vision and wi-fi and has a Premier Guarantee until 2025.

The master bedroom has his-and-hers en suite dressing rooms and the other two bedrooms are both en suite. There are also four secure underground parking spaces and a large storeroom.

LETTINGS LOWDOWN Special report by David Murphy, director of South London at Foxtons

T

he first half of this year has been great for lettings, with rental prices remaining strong and in many cases rising moderately from last year.

One of the key reasons for this is the imbalance between low levels of available rental properties and continued high levels of tenants that are actively looking.

August to October is traditionally the busiest time of the year for lettings. One of the main reasons for this is the start of the academic year, prompting students, graduates and families alike to structure their intended move around it. Likewise, many corporate relocations and internships take place over the late summer months.

As the market becomes increasingly competitive, tenants are advised to start their search as early as possible. Typically, landlords will begin marketing their properties two months before the date it becomes available, so choice can become more constrained as time goes on. While the many property websites are a useful tool to give tenants an idea of potential options, we always suggest that tenants register with the relevant agents too, so that they don’t miss out on new instructions to the market. Tenants are therefore also encouraged to move quickly and be reasonably decisive when putting an offer forward on their chosen property. Multiple offers being received on the same property is a common occurrence during this time, so timing can be crucial to avoid disappointment. he open plan reception, kitchen and dining Starting the process early is also advisable for landlords looking to room on the first floor of a three-bedroom market their property over the next period of time.

LAST WORD Richard Hole, head of Lettings at Savills Putney, has the final say.

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

It was totally by accident. I was working as a freelance translator in London and always found myself drawn to agents’ windows on my evening walks home. Finally in 2006 I decided to give it a go and I’ve never looked back.

What do you enjoy most about working in this market, and what have been your highlights so far?

I love the chase, finding tenants the right properties and landlords the right tenants, and it’s really satisfying when it all works well. No day is ever the same as we’re always meeting and dealing with very different types of people, so it’s incredibly sociable and interesting.

Describe the biggest challenges you face on a day-to-day basis.

I’m not a morning person, so the first challenge is getting up! Once I’ve passed that hurdle, every day is a case of being aware of the wider context, understanding what’s happening in the market and the latest legislation’s affect on our landlords or tenants.

savills.co.uk

What are your predictions for the market in South London for the next few years?

South London’s enduring appeal will continue to make this area an attractive place to buy and rent, so we expect the market to remain strong. Our research department predicts a five-year growth of 20.5 per cent in the sales market and 17.1 per cent for lettings.

Where, in your view, is the best place to live south of the river and why?

Putney, of course. It has everything: excellent transport links with the Overground and Underground, as well as a wonderful community, beautiful parks, the Thames and some fantastic pubs and restaurants. We mustn’t forget The Fez Club too.

What advice would you give to anyone considering a career in estate agency?

Sadly, estate agents don’t have the best reputation, mainly as a result of a few pirates in the industry who get it wrong. Just ignore the negativity and be honest, listen and stick at it. Changing people’s opinion about us is incredibly satisfying.

How difficult is the current market for prospective tenants, and what advice do you give them?

In a busy market, it’s important to be well organised and on the ball. Good properties come on and off the market very quickly, so be prepared to make a decision on the viewing and have everything in order to speed up the referencing process.

In your view, how does the South London market differ from other areas of London?

This area still attracts a strongly domestic market, with buyers and tenants often moving from nearby or central London. It’s also incredibly family-oriented, which is lovely, as a result of myriad excellent schools and our wonderful green open spaces.

If you were not an estate agent, what career would you choose and why?

Perhaps a traffic warden for a day, just for fun. Otherwise I’d be a wildlife photographer or artist to travel the world, see spectacular natural phenomena up close and personal, and record them for posterity.
