At last…

…the season for buying and selling property

has offi cially started.

The emergence of sunshine will have vendors throughout the land prepping their properties ready to sell.

Our offi ces are bustling to the trill of mobiles confi rming fresh valuations throughout the group. Forget the gloom and doom of the winter, the property market is up and running and promises to be very busy for the rest of the year. The government has set out its stall in the recent budget with a defi nite emphasis on encouraging the housing market and whatever form this may take the general feeling is that this is the time to get moving. We have also taken this opportunity to spring clean our entire image throughout the company with our fresh new boards and stunning window displays which are just part of our grand design.

We intend to make this spring a memorable one by selling more properties than ever.

Finest Mortgages...

YOUR HOME MAY BE REPOSSESSED IF YOU DO NOT KEEP UP REPAYMENTS ON A MORTGAGE OR ANY DEBT SECURED ON IT.

Should you help your children buy a home? New research by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation says afurther 1.5 million people aged 18-30 will be forced intorenting in the next eight years. The number who can’t affordto leave their parents’ home is expected to rise by half amillion to 3.7 million over the same period.

It makes grim reading for both generations and it is littlewonder that many parents feel compelled to help, but theyneed to think carefully before going ahead.

Everyone’s circumstances will differ but, as a general rule,parents should avoid dipping into their retirement funds tohelp their children. A lot of things can go wrong. If you arehanding over money, even as a loan, you should be ableto stand losing it if the worst comes to the worst.

You should also be certain that you are helping for the rightreasons. If your children are financially responsible and canafford to repay a mortgage but just can’t raise a depositthen it may make good sense to help them.

However, if they haven’t been sensible with money then youmay need to make some checks.

For example, if your children can’t get a mortgage then youneed to find out why. Get them to check their credit ratingand show it to you. Ask to see pay cheques and bankaccounts if necessary. This may seem severe but there’s alot at stake. Think of it as tough love.

After all, if they’re struggling financially already, giving themthe responsibility of a mortgage they can’t afford will onlyadd to their problems. It may be that helping them to payoff credit card debt may be more of a priority.

Once you decide to go ahead, there are various ways youcan help. Most parents do so by making a contributiontowards the deposit for a mortgage.

You could simply give them the money, but if you want it tobe repaid at some point in the future, you should draw upa written agreement so everyone knows where they stand.This is important because memories get blurred over time.

The agreement should include details of the repaymentschedule, preferably with a ‘promissory note’ so it’s aproper formal arrangement. You may also want to draw upa deed of trust outlining how much you have contributedto the purchase so you can get your money back whenyour child sells the property in the future.

If you are buying a home and renting it back to yourchildren, make sure you can meet the repayments if theycan’t. Otherwise, you may have to sell at a loss. If you don’thave enough money to help, you could borrow moneyusing your own home as security, but this carriesconsiderable risks as you could lose your home if youcannot meet the repayments.

You could consider a guarantor mortgage. This wouldenable your income to be taken into account whenassessing your child’s mortgage. However, you would beliable for the repayments if your child defaulted. The samewould apply to joint mortgages.

It’s only natural that parents should wish to help but theymust do so for the right reasons and in the rightcircumstances. If you get it right it could help your childrenbuild a brighter future; if you get it wrong, it could lead tofinancial hardship and even family splits in years to come.

Designing in a Conservation Area or on a Listed Building

architectureinteriorsTel +44 (0)20 8502 5585 [email protected] www.clear.gb.com

Properties that are situated within a conservation area or indeed listed can still be extended and refurbished. Some public perception is that perhaps you cannot; the key to any such project is too understand the parameters that you have to work within.

Conservation areas are created to conserve the built fabric and all its merits. That does not mean that properties cannot be altered, it’s a question of how. An architect with good design and negotiation skills is key. There are many factors that have to be taken into account in a conservation area; the context of the building in question, the type of proposals and the extent of conservation. Sometimes this can be the look of a street, a hedgerow or sometimes, the very eclectic local architecture!

A listed building is slightly more complex. There are different grades of listing; Grade 1, Grade 2 *, Grade 2, locally listed and curtilidge listed. Grade 1 properties are very unlikely to be able to have works completed, Grade 2* and Grade 2 can have works undertaken but will be limited, locally listed is the lesser of the listings and curtilidge, means within, such as the grounds of a building. All listed buildings are extremely scrutinised by the local planning authority, County Councils and indeed, English Heritage, dependent on the significance of the building in question.

The project photographs are two examples of refurbishments that have been undertaken by clear. in the last few years. The first image is that of a church in Highgate that was converted to 14 apartments, with a great deal of significant work undertaken with the conservation team of Camden Council. The second image is an old factory building in the heart of Bow, in its life this had had many different uses but was transformed by us, from drab offices to two luxury houses, all in conjunction with the planning team of Tower Hamlets. On both projects the significance was how to transform each building, whilst retaining or exposing the features of the original building fabric. This tested our design, technical and negotiations skills to the limit.

To surmise; buildings in a conservation area or those that are listed, can have development works undertaken but it does take time to propose, negotiate and finalise with the relevant statutory bodies to achieve the relevant permissions.

PUTTING PARENTS & CHILDREN FIRST AT

THE OAK-TREE SCHOOLS

Friendly, Family Schools in North Chingford, Epping and Loughton

Spring is a key time for decision making for parents looking for schooling in September 2013, and the Oak-Tree Schools have been busy with Open Mornings, requests for tours, additional entrance exams and taster sessions over recent weeks. This has been evident at Normanhurst in North Chingford, Oaklands in Loughton and Epping’s Coopersale Hall.

Parents commented in the recent surveys that there are many opportunities to talk to their Heads and Principal, with the Oak-Tree Schools clearly valuing the relationships with parents and acting on many of the practical suggestions for further development.

Recent informal coffee mornings have enabled Headmistresses Kaye Lovejoy, Cheryl Macnair and Claire Osborn, together with Managing Principal Matthew Hagger, to chat and listen to the very people whose opinions count. This close working relationship is not easily replicated at larger schools.

Matthew Hagger, Managing Principal of the Oak-Tree Group, commented “I am always pleasantly surprised by the number of parents who take the time out of their busy days to come and talk to us. We’ve met parents yeargroup by yeargroup and have been overwhelmed by how positive their experiences of our schools

Oaklands’ pupilsenjoying outdoor lessons

have been. Some have been with us for many years, others have recently joined. The vast majority have been delighted with our education and where suggestions have been made for further development, we’ve been able to make changes quickly.

Our parents make financial sacrifices to ensure their children get the best academic and all-round education at our schools and are always looking for opportunities to add to the service we provide.

Coopersale Hall and Oaklands parents are very interested in the move to senior education at 11+ and are keen to hear our advice about which senior schools are most appropriate when the time comes. As impartial preparatory schools we advise them without bias.

Normanhurst parents have been making sure that their children are ready for the start of the GCSE preparation and are very interested to hear what they can do to help at home. Parents of our younger children have been delighted with the excellent start to school in the Early Years, and are looking forward to their move into the Juniors.”

The communication between home and school is very important to the Oak-Tree Schools. The ‘open door’ policy across the Group allows parents to make daily contact with their children’s keyworkers or teachers either in person before or after school, or by email.

All three of the Oak-Tree Schools recognise that involving parents in their child’s education is fundamental to effective progress and academic achievement. Parents and families are at the heart of the education, and in these relatively small schools each family and child is known well.

SPOTLIGHT ON WOODFORD SALES...

Green shoots: “With spring on our doorstep and

a positive vibe around the property market and

in our offi ce, we are experiencing a higher infl ux

of buyers than in previous months at Woodford”

says Thomas Cann, Senior Negotiator at Lawlors

Woodford branch.

The optimism in the area is palpable with a steady return of fi rst time

buyers eagerly purchasing a wide range of fl ats and apartments, which

we are now starting to receive in abundance. There is no doubt that

demand is outstripping the supply and we obviously urge anyone who

is wondering whether this is a good time to buy, to jump in now and get

moving, as the team here is certainly hungry for more stock.

It’s worth noting that this is a perfect time to start moving, especially if

you want your children settled in school in september, you obviously

need to allow suffi cient time to take the move smoothly and steadily. The

Monkhams and knightons estates are always in demand and we have

a really good selection of buyers that are chain free, ready to make

decisions.

SPOTLIGHT ON CHIGWELL SALES...

We’ve had a sparkling start to the year

with many completed sales and happy new

homeowners. Like everybody else we are

eagerly awaiting the better weather which

spring normally brings, to encourage further

viewings and to fi nally get all those lovely

properties we have valued over the last few

months onto the market. We have noticed that

many of those properties that had a slow start

to the year are fi nally receiving reasonable

offers which we expect to tie up in the very

near future.

We are also eagerly awaiting the commencement of marketing on

ashbee lodge, High Road chigwell, which is a luxury development of

apartments developed by the Higgins group, of which we have been

favoured with instructions. We already have a growing list of people

registering their interest and awaiting the long-anticipated show home

opening.

Repton Park is going well for us, with plenty of new properties being

registered with us and demand is still as high as ever.

There is a good fl ow of activity through

chigwell at all levels of the market

and we expect a fl urry of activity

in the coming months.

Designing in a Conservation Area or on a Listed Building

architectureinteriorsTel +44 (0)20 8502 5585 [email protected] www.clear.gb.com

Properties that are situated within a conservation area or indeed listed can still be extended and refurbished. Some public perception is that perhaps you cannot; the key to any such project is to understand the parameters that you have to work within.

Conservation areas are created to conserve the built fabric and all its merits. That does not mean that properties cannot be altered, it’s a question of how. An architect with good design and negotiation skills is key. There are many factors that have to be taken into account in a conservation area; the context of the building in question, the type of proposals and the extent of conservation. Sometimes this can be the look of a street, a hedgerow or sometimes, the very eclectic local architecture!

A listed building is slightly more complex. There are different grades of listing; Grade 1, Grade 2 *, Grade 2, locally listed and curtilage listed. Grade 1 properties are very unlikely to be able to have works completed, Grade 2* and Grade 2 can have works undertaken but will be limited, locally listed is the lesser of the listings and curtilage, means within, such as the grounds of a building. All listed buildings are extremely closely scrutinised by the local planning authority, County Councils and indeed, English Heritage, dependent on the significance of the building in question.

The project photographs are two examples of refurbishments that have been undertaken by clear. in the last few years. The first image is that of a church in Highgate that was converted to 14 apartments, with a great deal of significant work undertaken with the conservation team of Camden Council. The second image is an old factory building in the heart of Bow. In its life this had had many different uses but was transformed by us, from drab offices to two luxury houses, all in conjunction with the planning team of Tower Hamlets. On both projects the significance was how to transform each building, whilst retaining or exposing the features of the original building fabric. This tested our design, technical and negotiation skills to the limit.

To summarise; buildings in a conservation area or those that are listed can have development works undertaken but it does take time to propose, negotiate and finalise with the relevant statutory bodies to achieve the appropriate permissions.

Home sales up as first-timers hit five-year high The number of first-time buyers in the property market hasreached a five-year high, according to the Council ofMortgage Lenders (CML). Following this encouragingnews, housing market sentiment has been lifted further bythe Chancellor’s launch of a two-pronged ‘Help to Buy’scheme in his Budget on 20 March.

The CML figures showed that there were 216,200 first-timebuyers in 2012. That was the first time the annual totalexceeded 200,000 since 2007. It was also a 12% increaseon the 2011 figure of 193,000. Another notable feature ofthe UK mortgage market in 2012 was a rise in buy-to-letlending which, at £16.4 billion gross, was up 19% on theprevious year.

In further good news for the housing market, the RoyalInstitution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) reported that thenumber of sales continued to grow in January for the fourthmonth in a row. Although the growth was quite small, RICS spokesman Peter Bolton King said it was a sign thatthe worst might be over for the property market.

Although some reports suggest that its positive impact hasfallen short of expectations, a number of property marketexperts believe that the Funding for Lending scheme, whichwas introduced by the Bank of England to encouragebanks and building societies to expand lending, has helpedmortgage approvals and home sales.

Mr Bolton King said: “Price falls across the UK have graduallystemmed in recent months and it is interesting to see that theamount of completed transactions are on the rise, asconfidence returns to the marketplace. While it is still very earlydays to talk about a comprehensive market recovery, activitylevels are still encouraging and there is some optimism outthere that things could continue to improve.”

After Mr Bolton King commented, homebuyers andhousebuilders alike were given further grounds foroptimism by Chancellor George Osborne’s Budget Day

announcement about a ‘Help to Buy’ scheme. The newscheme, designed to aid both the housing market and thewider economy, will have two elements. One takes the formof a shared-equity loan to provide finance of up to 20% formany new-build purchases. The other will be a mortgageguarantee scheme to help those with small deposits toqualify for a mortgage.

Under the shared-equity loan element, government fundingof up to £3.5 billion will be made available for qualifyingpurchases where the purchaser can provide a 5% depositto buy a brand-new house costing up to £600,000 with acapital repayment mortgage. The loan of up to £120,000will be interest-free for five years. ‘Help to Buy: equity loan’becomes available from April 2013.

The mortgage guarantee element of the ‘Help to Buy’scheme could, over a three-year period, see thegovernment provide guarantees to cover up to £130 billionof loans to enable mortgage providers to offer a higher‘loan to value’ than would normally apply. ‘Help to Buy:mortgage guarantee’ will be available from January 2014.

These new schemes, not available for buy-to-let, are inaddition to Funding for Lending and NewBuy, so there areclear signs that getting the housing market fully back on itsfeet is a major government priority, not just to helpindividuals’ personal lives but also to support businessesthat depend on a vibrant construction sector. A resumptionof more sustained growth in activity and prices could resultfrom this concerted action.

Whilst you are soberly leaping around at boot camp you may like to ponder on the following…

A ‘Lasting Power of Attorney’ (LPA) provides a formal authority to look after a person’s affairs when they are not in a position to do so. This can include a situation where you are physically unable to manage your affairs, such as cruising around the Caribbean until further notice, or if you are mentally incapable of dealing with your affairs through illness or old age.

There are two different types of LPA, the first dealing with property and financial affairs, the second dealing with health and welfare. The LPA dealing with health and welfare only comes into effect when someone has lost mental capacity.

The time to put these documents in place is now, when you are fit and healthy and are capable of understanding the process and procedure. You never know when you or your family may need them.

Without setting up LPAs it can mean a situation where

say a husband has lost capacity through ill-health or an accident and his wife will have to apply to the Court to access his bank accounts because she has no authority in place. This could cause difficulties in meeting responsibilities such as mortgage payments, school fees, utility bills or other essentials that traditionally her husband was paying for.

Couples may have their accounts in joint names. This will allow one person to access the accounts. However, this is not necessarily the solution particularly if a spouse needed to go into residential care as technically each person owns half the value of the accounts.

If you do not have an LPA in place and lose mental capacity, your relatives may need to make an application to the Court in order to deal with your property and finances. This can be expensive and could take several months to put in place.

You can choose anyone you trust to be your attorney. They must however be over 18 and not bankrupt. It is important to discuss this with them first. An LPA will

Lasting Powers of AttorneyYour new year resolutions may have included such things as more exercise and less alcohol but I wonder how many of you thought about setting up Lasting Powers of Attorney?


give your attorney authority to make decisions about your property and finances when you are not able to. This can include your day-to-day banking, selling your property and dealing with your finances.

An attorney appointed under a health and welfare LPA will have authority to make decisions about where you live, who visits you and the type of care you receive. As the person making the LPA you will be able to consent to give or refuse life-sustaining treatment.

The health and welfare LPA is considered to be more effective than a living Will as it is less open to interpretation and should have been registered with the Court.

Putting these documents in place gives peace of mind and ensures less disruption should someone need to start acting on your behalf.

Did you know that if your land is registered at the LandRegistry you can provide up to three different contactaddresses, including an email address and an addressabroad? When the Land Registry receives an applicationregarding your property it will write to you about it. So ifyour details are not up-to-date you might not receivetheir letter or email.

You can download a form from the Land Registry websiteto add an address or update your existing contact details.

Please note that if the Land Registry receives anapplication to change your contact details it will send aletter to both your old and new addresses to check thatthe application is genuine.

For owners who do not live at the registered property anadditional security measure has recently been devised.You or your solicitor can enter a restriction, free ofcharge, on your title. Again this is a form that can bedownloaded from the Land Registry website.

If you are not eligible for this service, perhaps becauseyou are an owner-occupier, you can neverthelessregister a similar restriction on your title if you believeyou may be at risk. This is known as a Form LL

restriction and ensures that the Land Registry will notregister a sale or mortgage unless a solicitor orconveyancer has certified that the person who signedthe deed is a registered owner. This would certainlydeter a fraudster from trying to forge your signature orcopy your identity. There is a fee of £50 payable to theLand Registry for this service.

SPOTLIGHT ON LOUGHTON LETTINGS...

I have been working at our Loughton branch

for over three years and have seen some huge

changes through the years. The department has

grown from strength to strength and from only

having three members of staff we now have six

and another lettings branch in Woodford.

The success of this department is down to having the right team. We take pride in the way we deal with both tenants and landlords. Our management department has expanded both in staff and volume of property that we are currently managing. Please see below some testimonials from just a couple of our happy customers…

“I have been a landlord on and off for the past twelve years and over the last fi ve years lawlors letting have looked after my property in loughton. The professional manner in the way they secure, manage and maintain tenant’s expectations is 110%. From an owners perspective they treat your property as their own and their maintenance team are equally effi cient. Their approach is balanced to maintaining parity for both tenant and client. an outstanding company with true professionalism.” Martin Scanlon, landlord (25/02/2013)

“I think lawlors operate a fi rst class professional service, they get the balance just right between landlords and tenants. I have dealt with Tina and lindsey in Property Management and they have always been friendly and courteous, they mean what they say and do it!, which is so important when you already have both a hectic working and social life. I would recommend them to anyone, no hesitation.” Paul Dorant, tenant (22/02/2013)

SPOTLIGHT ON WOODFORD LETTINGS...

Over the past few years we’ve noticed a vast

change in the rental market and none more

so than over the past twelve months. We are

noticing a change in people’s life plans, be this a

job opportunity abroad or plans to move closer

to family in other parts of the country or just a

general downsizing and with these life changing

decisions we are fi nding ourselves with more

and more ‘accidental landlords’ .

By ‘accidental landlords’ we mean owners of properties that have never

contemplated the rental market, who, instead of committing to the selling

of their property they adopt a ‘try before you buy’ policy. They are

putting themselves in a situation where if there decision isn’t quite what

they thought it would be they can come back to their family home and

if all goes to plan they can then make the decision to sell the property.

We are fi nding that the latter seems to be the case, this (at lawlors) puts

us in a unique position where we can then pass the property and the

landlord (that we have already built up a relationship with and a tenant

who trusts us) to enable us to sell the property with ease, making the

whole process simple and stress free.

If you feel that you may be in a situation

like this please call and we can

discuss it further.
