Great scenery and easy access Savills are delighted to report on their continued coverage of the market in East Devon and look forward to launching some exciting new instructions to the market in 2017. The East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) is characterised by intimate wooded combes, large areas of heathland, fertile river valleys and breathtaking cliffs and hilltops. Not to mention the magnificent Jurassic Coastline, England’s first World Heritage Site. In addition to its landscape, East Devon continues to entice both national and regional buyers due to its fantastic communication links, excellent schools, historic villages and market towns. The A30 provides access to the A303. Mainline railway stations at Honiton and Axminster have regular services to London Waterloo and Exeter International Airport provides daily flights to UK and international destinations, including London City Airport. Popular schools include St Peter’s Prep School in Lympstone, the King’s School at Ottery St Mary, St John’s International School in Sidmouth and the highly regarded Colyton Grammar School at Colyton. The coastal towns of Budleigh Salterton, Sidmouth and Lyme Regis are favoured with residents as well as being popular holiday destinations, whilst the market towns of Honiton and Axminster hold regular farmers’ markets and host a variety of independent shops and eateries. Many of the historic villages including Branscombe, Beer, Sidbury and Otterton are characterised by thatched cottages and farm houses, period manor houses and ‘oldie worldy’ fisherman’s cottages. Despite the uncertainty overhanging the UK’s property market as

East Devon has much appeal, says Chris Clifford of Savills a result of Brexit, Savills’ Exeter Office has got off to a flying start this year with plenty of viewings being arranged, sales being agreed and some exciting new instructions to be launched later in the year. This follows some great results in 2016, including the sale of Pinelands

Office has got off to a flying start this year in Sidmouth; a fantastic late Edwardian five bedroom coastal property set in generous landscaped gardens of about two acres, that sold to an international buyer who will be moving to Sidmouth full-time in the near future. We should also mention that during the sale of Ashcombe at Payhembury we were under pressure from the buyers to complete the sale within a month of their first viewing. This was achieved with a lot of goodwill from all parties and a fantastic

local solicitor acting for our clients. Savills is currently marketing Maggietosh in West Hill, Ottery St Mary with a guide price of £750,000. This modern, detached house was built in 2014 and has been finished to an exacting standard with state of the art kitchen and bathroom facilities and under floor heating throughout the ground floor.

Andrew Jeffery of Webbers outlines the advantages of the auction room There are several reasons why buying and selling at auction could be best. These range from that very special property where the value can be difficult to set due to likely strong demand from more than one buyer, to a property in need of considerable work that makes it unmortgageable. However, it could be of interest to a developer, speculator or a private individual. This sort of property can range from old or newer ones that are tired and need refurbishment, or can be barns or land with or without planning permission to develop. Sometimes small blocks of agricultural land, say from two to 20 acres, will attract considerable in-

terest from investors or private individuals looking for horse or pony land; the same is true for woodland. Often families are left property in a will and with several individuals involved, these can be difficult times to agree what is a fair price. To get over this and to find its real value and get a sale quickly, selling by auction is often the best route. The fall of the hammer at auction is a binding contract with immediate exchange. The title information, searches and all other paperwork is set up as part of the auction pack for potential buyers and their advisors before the sale. So that satisfying sound of “going , going, gone” means no more anxiety wondering if your

Elmscote near Bude, above, and 42 Lakeview near Bodmin both sold at auction last year buyer will pull out. There is never a guarantee the property will sell at auction, but a deal often occurs shortly after. At Webbers we have been successfully selling property by public auction for more than 90 years and this method of sale continues to be ideal for certain types of property. I and our experienced local directors will be able to talk you through the auction process, offer initial market valuation guidance and importantly advise if your property is suitable to recommend a sale by public auction.

While the marketing will be extensive through our 16 office and South West and national networks, we will locate the auction venue as locally as possible for the convenience of buyers and sellers, and often the solicitors. In addition, I will inspect each Cornish auction lot to be familiarise myself with the property. We will be holding our next Cornwall auction on Wednesday,March 8. Call for further information to 01208 73298 or email me on andrew.jeffery@ webbers.co.uk. Alternatively, call any of our Cornwall offices at Bodmin, Bude, Launceston and Newquay.

Richard Blake, of Richard Blake and Associates, reveals why Dartmouth is so popular

The harbour at Dartmouth. Inset: Paddlelake Barn, an attractive fivebedroom house in Dartmouth, is for sale for £560,000 with Richard Blake Estate Agents, Dartmouth, 01803 832288, www.richardblake.co.uk

Beautiful Dartmouth sits on the banks of the picturesque River Dart and the town has a significant naval history, being home to the Britannia Royal Naval College. There are castles, forts, historic houses and an excellent community spirit with amenities that are unsurpassed for a small town, four super markets, leisure centre and a recently opened indoor swimming pool. If you are looking to relocate, I can’t think of anywhere better. This historic town is full of delightful pubs, bistros and award winning restaurants. There are some excellent delicatessens and individual shops and boutiques as well as plenty of galleries. Dartmouth is an easy town to sell to potential relocators, retirees or hol-

iday home buyers. Some of the great annual events include the Royal Regatta every August, the Food Festival in the autumn and the Music Festival in May. Other events include a comedy weekend at the modern Flavel Centre which houses a cinema/theatre, café and library. In August of 2020 Dartmouth will be celebrating the 400th anniversary of the Pilgrim Fathers setting sail from Bayards Cove in the town to the New World America. The property market here in Dartmouth is buoyant and varied, the housing stock is diverse, from small studio apartments to grand riverside homes. There are old merchants houses, which along with much of Dartmouth’s original housing stock are timber framed and plenty of Victorian and Georgian architecture.

This striking 4 bedroom property offers all of the elegance of the prewar era and comes to the market after being the subject of a massive programme of extension/refurbishment. It is beautifully presented and finished to an extremely high standard. There are extensive gardens and grounds, which incorporate a superb tennis court, lawns, vegetable plot and an impressive triple garage/store. EPC E

This lovely semi-detached cottage offers surprisingly spacious accommodation and benefits a large garden with patio, lawn and outbuilding. It offers three reception rooms, a spacious kitchen, 3 bedrooms and a bathroom. There is plenty of character provided by the wonderful timber beams, wood burners and inglenook, along with some lovely country views over the village from most windows. EPC band G

home from home

Even if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not ready to move in yet, investing in a Westcountry home could be the right move If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re considering a property investment opportunity, you may be looking at holiday letting as one potential option. Having a home from home you can keep returning to year after year is an attractive proposition, especially if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in a stunning area of the UK. Being able to earn an income from that home when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not there is even more attr active! The continued demand for UK breaks in Cornwall, Devon and Dorset means choosing a property in the South West is a sensible decision. There is a huge opportunity for property owners to benefit from a successful holiday let business, but there are factors to consider if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re thinking of getting started. Location, location, location Honeypot destinations such as St Ives, Newquay and Padstow continue to be in high demand, with most properties selling out completely during peak months. Whilst this means you can be confident of your bookings, it can make finding an affordable property more difficult. Considering areas slightly outside of these resorts can get you more for your money and an additional garden and car parking space has huge appeal with holidaymakers. Seek local advice cottages.com has local Regional Managers in every corner of the South West. Seeking local advice is the only way to fully understand market conditions, competitors and holidaymaker preferences, so you can prepare and market your property accordingly. Partner with a reputable agency Your criteria for selection should be based on finding an agency that can offer great terms and has significant marketing and web presence, so your property will be seen and achieve the right number of bookings. In fact, many cottages.com properties achieve over 40 bookings each year and have over 90% occupancy! Sell the dream A good agent will offer professional photography services and expert copywriting to maximise your visibility online. Some even offer 360 degree views of properties so that potential holidaymakers get a good luck at what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re booking. Consider the quality levels you want to offer Understanding what the requirements are for 4 or 5 star grading and getting hands-on knowledgeable advice on how to equip your property accordingly is key. The same applies for ensuring you are aware of the equipment your customers are looking for most to ensure the desired facilities are available. Features such as hot tubs, Wi-Fi or a games room can have a positive impact on your booking levels.

\lss |z h ip{ hiv|{ jv{{hnlz6jvt Since launching at the end of 2015, www.cottages.com has proved itself to be a market-leader in the holiday letting industry. Offering customers a brand new way to plan and book a cottage holiday, the site features more than 19,700 properties and is designed to help customers find the right cottage quickly and easily with optimised search functionality and increased filters. The first TV advert achieved approximately 400,000 online views and the brand now has more than 200,000 social media fans and followers across its six networks. We have achieved more than 300 pieces of coverage since launch, more than half of which appeared in national newspapers. Pv~ z|jjlzzm|s ~hz :89> mvy {ol ovspkhÂ&#x20AC; ylu{hs thyrl{G 2016 was a hugely eventful year and many of the political, national and worldwide events impacted the leisure and cottage rental sector. The July referendum and resulting shift in currency value, coupled with a general sense of domestic holidays being a good bet and a beautiful Indian summer meant that at cottages.com we ended last year very strongly indeed. The trend for staycations looks set to continue into 2017 and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re already seeing high demand for key areas during the peak months.

Get the pricing right Every holiday let owner wants to make the best return possible during busy and quiet periods. Up-to-theminute pricing that updates in line with demand is the way to ensure this. By getting expert advice, you can be confident youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re accessing the most relevant information which will provide financial security and great memories for years to come.

_oh{ johunlz hyl ~l zllpun pu {ol zlj{vyG The rapid pace of change in technology has made it easier than ever before for holidaymakers to book their break wherever and whenever they want. More than 80% of bookings are now made online, with fewer customers than ever choosing to use a brochure at all for any part of their booking journey. A huge number of our customers are also now searching on smartphones and tablets, so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve optimised all our websites to work across these devices and it's rewarding to see our conversion rates reflecting this investment and hard work. As a result of all this new methodology and people's changing buying habits, the demand for bookings with varying duration and arrival days, other than the usual Friday or Saturday, is very strong. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve added flexible arrival dates to accommodate this and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reaping huge rewards for owners.

icated team of digital marketing experts who manage our online paid search campaigns, helping us to make sure that our marketing spend delivers the maximum amount of bookings. Keeping up to date with the latest innovations is really important in this respect and we have a fantastic working relationship with both Google and Bing, giving us priority support and exclusive access to industry insights and developments from these search engine giants. Last year, this investment delivered over 16 million visits to our websites. _oh{ hyl Â&#x20AC;v|y wshuz mvy :89?G Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen advance bookings soar during January, with holidaymakers keen to confirm their summer breaks in popular destinations like the South West. In fact the year has got off to a flying start thanks to not one but two record booking days already under our belt! More people than ever before booked their 2017 break at the end of the first working week, making 8th January the best performing sales day in our companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history â&#x20AC;&#x201C; no mean feat considering our brand family heritage spans more than three decades! Not only that, but we then broke that record again just seven days later by a margin of nearly 2,200 additional bookings and 10,000 additional visits to the cottages.com website. While a fantastic milestone to reach, the figures are not entirely a surprise. We know people will be looking at a UK break this year, as consumer research we commissioned in late 2016 revealed a third of us believe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easier and more convenient to stay in the UK. The research also suggested the South West is considered to be the friendliest place to holiday in England â&#x20AC;&#x201C; so it should be another great year for holiday home owners in the region! Anyone looking to make the most of increased demand in UK holiday destinations and run a successful holiday let is invited to visit www.cottages.com/let-yourproperty for advice and further information.

Getting the best price for your property is one of the key requirements of any agent. In order to achieve this aim you need to find the right type of buyer: the purchaser that values your home above all others. A significant amount of buyers make up their minds on a property before walking through the door or opening a brochure - so first impressions count! You may be better off upgrading your driveway or front façade rather than your kitchen or bathroom. We are often asked, “When is the best time of the year to sell?” and the answer to that question is, “When it best suits you”. Many people wait until the spring, especially for equestrian properties, however, getting ahead of the game can be really worthwhile. New to the market is The Wagon House (pictured, near right). Set in 4.4 acres, this three- bedroom barn conversion has four stables and a 44m x 28m sand school. It’s set in an accessible position in the Blackdown Hills. The property has just launched to the market, and would be ideal as a small competition yard, at a guide price of £550,000. Brewers Cottage in Plymtree, Cullompton (pictured, far right) is a Grade II listed, three-bedroom cottage with stables, stores and 2.43 acres. It’s on the market for OIEO £650,000. Stags has been selling country property for over 140 years, offering unrivalled local expertise to a national market. Experienced and knowledgeable staff are at the heart of the Stags’ ethos alongside a wider team of professionals in lettings, livestock sales, planning and business advice. In an ever-changing market, you need to ensure that your agent has their ‘finger on the pulse’ and we strive to make certain that your property is effectively and strategically marketed to the right audience.

Ex-pats could head to Torbay No market, whether it’s housing, oil or pork belly futures likes uncertainty and that’s what Brexit delivered – a market where both buyers and sellers were reluctant to commit leading to a drop in transactions. However, the reality has been that the impact has not been as catastrophic as some originally predicted. The monthly housing market report from the NAEA (National Association of Estate Agents) for November 2016 showed a record number of properties selling at less than the asking price as well as a significant drop in the number of house hunters per member agency. There was also a slight fall in the number of properties sold by individual member agencies from an average of nine per branch in October and September to eight in November. However, I believe these results are transitory and mask the real picture which is much more optimistic especially when the path to Brexit is clarified and we have a timetable that we can understand and work to. It’s true we witnessed a lot of postBrexit uncertainty with low confidence from both buyers and sellers but the fact is the market resumed its normal volumes by October. The dip in activity during November is almost certainly down to seasonality with sellers postponing putting their properties on the market because of the holiday period which is not a great time to showcase houses festooned with Christmas decorations. Many people tend to feel the Christmas holiday period is a time to reflect and regroup – and to defer such a significant decision as buying or selling a house until the unencumbered New Year arrives and

Region offers value for money, says Peter Turner of Waycotts they can give it the attention it deserves. For me, this masks increasing optimism and an imminent return to a robust housing market. However, there are other factor impacting on the Torbay and South Devon Housing market.

Imminent return to a robust housing market Post-Brexit uncertainty has damaged the value of Sterling and not only are there many older people reconsidering their plans to retire to warmer climes and are now looking for the value-for-money alternatives that the Westcountry can offer, we will see many who are already living abroad look to return as the value of their overseas assets and their pen-

sions are eroded due to a weak pound. And where will they be looking at? South West locations such as Torbay offer comparative value for money. It has a desirable lifestyle and, despite its current difficulties, a health service which will remain free at the point of delivery. Combined, this may well fuel a resurgent local housing market. That said, although the RICS’ (Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors) UK Residential Market Survey of November last revealed that buyer demand edged up for the third consecutive month, there was no increase in new supply for the ninth month in a row and this shortage, especially of quality properties, is the main drag on a fully resurgent market. The market may continue to improve while interest rates remain low and the shortage of supply could marginally increase house values. The real key to returning to robust volumes is the attitude of both buyers and sellers and the realisation that Brexit has not changed anything that much and, if you’re looking to move, don’t hesitate to get your property on the market.

Chris Watkins of Charles Head estate agents looks at the year to come The month of January in Salcombe is a period of transition. A number of independent shops within Fore Street and Island Street are currently being renovated and restocked in preparation for the herald of the new season, which traditionally begins with February half term. January is the month where New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Resolutions are reflected upon and tested. For example, from a potential purchaserâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perspective, if their offer were to be accepted on a property which they viewed in Salcombe during the month of January, can the legal conveyance be completed for it to be utilised and enjoyed for Easter? Equally, for a Salcombe resident, who is contemplating to sell, the question which they may well be invariably asking themselves at this present time is whether they go to the market now, or wait until Easter? World politics have an impact on the volume of property stock being placed to the market in Salcombe, particularly as a high proportion of

potential vendors are in that fortunate position of not being motivated to sell due to the usual trilogy of death, divorce and taxation. In an age of 24/7 media, if negative reports from world news are one of doom and gloom, then a Salcombe estate agent's previous property valuation may not automatically be converted, to become a new instruction to bring immediately to the market, until there is more positive news reported. This whole conundrum has been exacerbated at the beginning of 2017 due to the concerns as to the inauguration of 45th President of the United States of America and the decision of the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom as to whether to adopt a hard or soft Brexit exit strategy on Article 50. By the end of the working week on 20th January 2017, both Donald J Trump has been sworn as Commander In Chief at the White House and Theresa May has made her decision known as to how Britain will leave the

An architectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own home is where his heart is Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good rule of thumb to look out for homes that architects designed for their own use. Unhampered by clients, the architects can really fulfil their own vision. Longacre in Birchill, near Axminster is one such house, originally designed by a local architect in 1949. Spacious and filled with light, this great house makes the most of the attractive rural views. A double sided wood burner opens into two rooms, connected by double

doors; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a warm and welcoming space for entertaining. Sensitive use of materials such as slate and solid wood flooring give this house a natural feeling, and in the kitchen are granite work surfaces and high quality appliances. Accommodation include a drawing room, dining room, kitchen/breakfast room, study, and offices. The house has four bedrooms. The master bedroom is en suite, with hand-made beech wardrobes and a south-facing balcony. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a family bathroom. The property has gardens, land and great equestrian facilities: a stable yard, outdoor school, and wellfenced paddocks, in all about 11 acres. In the landscaped gardens boast a range of flowering shrubs, mature trees, and flower beds, as well as a formal pond and a pergola. A small apple orchard and kitchen garden has been planted by the current owners, and there are a greenhouse, outbuilding, and garden stores. The nearest hunting is with the Cotley Harriers, and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s racing at Taunton or Exeter. Longacre is on the market for ÂŁ850,000 with Symonds & Sampson, Axminster, 01297 33122, www.symondsandsampson.co.uk.
