London Maintains House Prices Stability as UK Market Falls

London again emerged as the only UK region to maintain its house prices, edging up 0.3% month-on-month as investors look to shore up their assets by purchasing London properties as investments. London, cautioned estate agent Lucy Pendleton, talking to the Daily Telegraph, is not immune from macroeconomic insecurity and the upward trajectory in property prices may not last:

"With this latest house price data, Londoners have had a major reality check. The capital is not immune to the collapse in business and consumer confidence - and the unravelling of the eurozone.

The East experienced the greatest monthly rise with a movement of 0.7 per cent. The North East experienced the greatest annual price fall with a decrease of 7.2 per cent. Wales experienced the most significant monthly price fall with a movement of -3.0 per cent.

The most up-to-date figures available show that during August 2011, the number of completed house sales in England and Wales increased by 1 per cent to 62,010 from 61,469 in August 2010. The number of properties sold in England and Wales for over £1 million in August 2011 decreased by 7 per cent to 714 from 764 in August 2010.

London Property Market News: Time is right to buy in London

Now is still a great time to invest in a buy to let property in London, says the Association of Residential Letting Agents (ARLA).

Figures released by the body show that 60 per cent of its members have seen an increase in enquiries for rental properties in the past two years.

Additionally, the period in which properties are unoccupied between rental contracts has fallen sharply, with an average of just 2.7 weeks now.

"Three-quarters of our members are reporting that demand for rental property is outstripping supply and, with rental returns currently at five per cent, anyone thinking about investing a property to rent could be well-placed to consider their options in the coming months," said Ian Potter, operations manager at ARLA.

Mr Potter added that the services of a professional residential letting agent should be sought out by anyone moving into the buy to let market.

Earlier this week Malcolm Harrison of the Tenancy Deposit Scheme said that using a professional lettings agency is one of the best things both tenants and would-be landlords can do if they wish the rental period to be a successful one.

St Johns Wood Park Basement Extensions

St John’s Wood is well known for its grand villas and impressive architecture, reports the Ham and High.

But a trend for homeowners to enlarge their properties by expanding beneath them has seen the usually tranquil neighbourhood become increasingly blighted for many residents.

In the past year alone, the St John’s Wood Society has been asked to review 86 basement applications including 13 in one road – Hamilton Terrace.

Other streets have been affected almost as severely with nine basement applications in Acacia Road and seven in Carlton Hill.

Such is the extent of the problem that last week saw North Westminster MP Karen Buck lead a parliamentary debate on the issue in the House of Commons.

Speaking during the debate, Ms Buck said it was only when she looked at one of the larger basements in St John’s Wood last month that “it really came home to me just what an extraordinary change we are seeing”.

Calling for tighter regulations, Ms Buck says she has an issue with basement developments that “stretch not just under the footprint of the house” but “through an entire garden” to provide luxuries such as underground cinemas, swimming pools, gymnasiums and gun rooms.

A Westminster Council spokesman said all basement developments must comply with planning legislation and council guidelines.

“While such development is often largely concealed from public view, it is important that it is carefully designed to ensure it causes no harm to the amenity of adjoining occupiers, to biodiversity, heritage assets or the character of the area and that it does not result in drainage, flooding or structural problems.”

Central London Property Boom

Super-prime new homes in London are expected to achieve record values of up to £10,000 sq ft within the next five years, fuelled by an influx of wealthy overseas investors and lack of housing supply, reports Whathouse.

The recent boom in prime central London property prices has benefitted homes in premium locations like Mayfair, Chelsea and Knightsbridge, with prices rising from £1,000 sq ft in 2000 to over £7,500 sq ft, as achieved for new build apartments at One Hyde Park - believed to be the most expensive price for any home in the world.

But while most property experts project that property prices will generally fall nationwide in the short to medium term, Knight Frank believe that the market in prime central London looks ripe for further growth, with values expected to reach a staggering £10,000sqft in the most exclusive new developments by 2016. This is partly because there is a lack of land available for the construction of new homes in prime London.

Liam Bailey, head of residential research, said: "In key markets like London the availability of top-end developments that attract wealthy international purchasers is still very limited. The opportunity for developers to capitalise on this market is therefore a real option."

London Property Market News: Capital gains for those that play it safe

London is a haven for people looking to make a safe investment in bricks and mortar, says a leading property magazine.

Richard Bowser, editor of Property Investment News, said that capital remains a magnet for those looking for a solid long-term venture as values have risen by an average of nine per cent each year despite an otherwise gloomy economic climate.
He added that the rental market also shows no signs of slowing down with yields up by some 23 per cent on average over the past two years.

Mr Bowser feels a major factor in the London property market at present is the influx of cash-rich buyers from other countries.

He said: "Many overseas buyers have also been attracted, as they are buying with greatly increased purchasing power as a result of the 25 to 30 per cent decline in the pound against most global currencies since early 2007."

A particular area of interest for those from overseas is properties in the £1 million-plus market. According to figures released last month by Lloyds TSB, there were 3,375 purchases in London for that price or more during the first six months of 2011.

Land Securities Walkie Talkie Tower Will Go Ahead Without Letting Deal

Reuters reports that Land Securities will build its London skyscraper known as the Walkie Talkie without a major letting deal and in spite of a rapidly worsening economic backdrop, Chief Executive Francis Salway said.

The UK's largest real estate investment trust by market capitalisation is developing the 38-storey scheme in London's City financial district, in a JV with Canary Wharf Group, but has no major letting to lower the scheme's financial risk.

"We are speculatively developing the building," Salway said on a conference call on Thursday. When asked by Reuters whether the company had the option to pause the scheme if the economic backdrop worsened, Salway said: "We are building the project."

Land Securities, which posted a 17 percent year-on-year rise in first-half NAV to 863 pence, previously said it would build the tower unlet, but rising fears of a euro zone breakup means financial services firms may shelve plans to move.

On Wednesday, Great Portland Estates Chief Executive Toby Courtauld said there would likely be no major pre-let deal for its 100 Bishopsgate skyscraper in the next 6-12 months. The scheme would only go ahead with a letting deal in place, he said.

Salway noted the number of inquiries by London office tenants looking for floor space had increased since the middle of the summer, a trend he labelled "counter-intuitive."

London Property Market News: London leads the way for UK property

London is the city that leads the way with property prices, says one mortgage expert.Catherine Hearnden, director of brokerage site MyMortgageDirect.co.uk, said that when property values in the nation's capital change, the rest of the country tends to follow suit.

"I think it is wise to look at London as a guide to what is going to happen," she commented.However, she stressed that the future remains unclear and much depends on availability of employment and interest rates.

She added that mortgage lending is also improving, with banks and building societies now offering affordability multiples that are as good as they have "been for ages".
Her comments come in the same week, Nationwide announced that house prices increased by 0.4 per cent in October and are now 0.8 per cent higher than they were in the same month in 2010.

The average UK house value now stands at £165,650, although London properties are in most cases significantly higher.

Despite this, David Warren, senior sales negotiator at Paramount, stated that the market has changed slightly in the past few years and the capital maybe does not have the same bearing nationally as it once did.

“I do think that the capital generally guides the rest of the UK property market but it doesn’t seem to have been the same over the last couple of years," he said.
"Whilst we have seen busy periods since 2009 and a shortage of stock which has meant prices have risen by 20 per cent, it doesn’t seem to be the same across the markets outside London.

"I think this is due to the amount of cash in London, we are finding that at least 50 per cent of our transactions are being agreed to cash buyers and a large proportion of these buyers are parents from the UK, mainland Europe and Asia.

"People think London is a safe market. Where buyers outside London tend to be buying more traditionally with a mortgage, finding the deposit for these is hard in these tough times”.
