WANT TO BE KEPT UP TO DATE WITH WHAT’S GOING ON?Then please send a request to be added to our monthly Mortgage Shop Bulletin emailing list to: kerrie@mortgageshop.je

Does your adviser keep in touch? Are they aware of your current risk tolerance? Do you get regular reports and reviews? Don’t you deserve this kind of service…?A good Financial Adviser provides you with a service at the outset, and just as importantly, throughout the years.

While many will conduct initial meetings with clients to ascertain their objectives and appetite for risk at the start of the relationship, all too often we are approached by people seeking a better service because they feel like they have little or no ongoing contact from their adviser.

As your lifestyle and circumstances change with age, so too can your objectives and attitude towards risk. It is therefore important to have regular meetings with your adviser to ensure that any plans you made originally still meet your changing needs, making subtle changes over the years, if required.

At Henley Financial we provide an ongoing monitoring service, providing our investment clients with quarterly reports, annual meetings and the option to arrange additional consultations at any time upon request.

If you would like to speak to Hayley Carstairs at Henley Financial to review protection arrangements, investment, savings or retirement options, please contact her on 789830 or Hayley@henleyfi nancial.je

Choosing The Right Adviser

The Jersey property marketLocal house prices appear to be static, although it may still be possible to negotiate a modest reduction over asking prices. Estate agents tell us that the year to date has remained steady, with the usual seasonal fl uctuations that always happen to coincide with school and bank holidays.

A high demand for rental accommodation suggests that many people, especially First Time Buyers are holding back on becoming property owners, due perhaps to lack of the necessary deposit, or with some it may be lack of confi dence in the future.

Because of this, the opportunities for Buy to Let investors remains high.

Information and rates correct as at 6th July 2016

Local mortgage market activityWith the Brexit decision now behind us, it is possible that whilst Bank of England base rate might remain at 0.50%, there may now be scope for banks to further reduce mortgage product rates.

This presents the perfect opportunity for borrowers to lock in to a fi ve year fi xed rate, which could well be below the tracker options that are available. How long this opportunity will last is currently anybody’s guess.

When base rate will start to rise is also up for discussion, with many experts now predicting that nothing will happen until 2020.With rates where they are and set to remain low for the foreseeable future, this is an ideal time to take out a mortgage, or to consider a review of existing borrowings – don’t get left behind!

PROPERTY PROFILE

WORDS Sara Felton

Occupying a sizeable plot The Oaks is within walking distance to the well respected local primary school and St Mary’s Country Inn is also within a few hundred metres of the front door of the property, perfect for those nights you don’t want to cook. The beautiful beach at Greve de Lecq is just a few moments drive and there are of course a whole host of other great local amenities within driving distance of the house.  All of this whilst being able to enjoy the peace and tranquility of the island’s smallest parish.

Considering this is such an old property the rooms are spacious and light and complemented by their traditional features and well thought through layout. The property is no longer entered by the traditional front entrance, this instead

provides access on to the large south facing lawned garden, through the large open plan living area. Instead the driveway and garage allow for access through the door in to the extended part of the property.

This means, as you enter, you are greeted by a very large hallway, which could just as easily be utilised as an additional reception area, if you felt the need.  Currently there are large built in cupboards which provide excellent storage facilities. To the right you have a large downstairs double bedroom, which could again be used as an additional reception room, the perfect place to house a cinema perhaps. Or instead perhaps as accommodation for a live-in nanny, or maybe provide a good two generation option. There is also a large shower room across the

entrance hall, which could easily service this room and a huge laundry room too, with a large airing cupboard here too.  

The spacious laundry room has plenty of storage and a large airing cupboard, ideal for any household. This room has views on to the lovely back garden.

The Oaks will o� er the new owners incredible fl exibility.  Thanks to the huge amount of downstairs  space you’ll be able to easily accommodate large parties of friends or an expanding family.  The extended section of the property has an eat in kitchen that will be the envy of even the most modest of cooks.  The large bright space benefi ts from a high vaulted ceiling that runs the full length of the room, with Velux windows in the roof

The Oaks is a property full of character and original features, as you’d expect from what is believed to be the oldest house registered within the peaceful parish of St Mary.  The south facing frontage of the house

screams traditional granite cottage, with it’s perfectly proportioned doors and windows.  But what sets it apart from many other properties

of its nature is the interior, which is a clever blend of the old and the new thanks to the high standard of the renovation that has taken place.

• 4/5 bedrooms• 3 Receptions• 3 Bathrooms• Detached 16th C. farmhouse• Approx 3000sqft + fl oored attic• Stunning modern kitchen diner• Renovated to a high specifi cation• Large front and rear gardens• Double garage w/storage above

and the conventional windows facing on to the garden, even on the dullest of days this room is fl ooded with light.  It not only has a fabulously well equipped kitchen, which includes a large central island and breakfast bar, it also has space to accommodate an exceptionally large dining table.  

This really is the hub of the house and a place you can imagine being fi lled with the laughter of your friends as they work through your well stocked undercounter wine fridge and dinner is cooking on the Falcon induction range cooker. There are also double doors leading on to the secure lawned back garden, which means you can still keep sight of the kids as they play, or simply move the party outside, when the sun is shining.  

The kitchen leads on to the large open plan living area, with its windows facing on to the front garden and exposed beams this is an exceptional reception room and another fi ne example of how the clever renovation has made the best of the character of the property.  It’s hard to believe this house was once split into smaller rooms, which would have made The Oaks typical of other

traditional granite house in the island, but those walls a thing of the past and instead you are now welcomed in to a large room which is punctuated with a solid fuel burner housed in incredible granite fi replaces at each end of the room.  You can imagine how incredibly cosy and welcoming this room will be in the cooler months.

Upstairs there are a further three large double bedrooms and a smaller single room which would make a fantastic nursery or perhaps a home o� ce.  Each of these rooms further benefi ts from the clever blend of the old and the new.  From one of the smallest functioning windows I have ever seen, to the large and beautiful inglenook fi replace, they each have something rather special and all have views of either the beautiful gardens or the nearby agricultural fi elds.  The master suite is complemented by an absolutely incredible ensuite that wouldn’t be out of place in a fi ve star hotel, the freestanding roll-top bath and rainfall shower will make this a room you’ll not want to share with many. Here you also have a cleverly incorporated storage area, meaning you’ve no need for unsightly wardrobes in your bedroom.

This well renovated unique home cannot fail to impress and is likely to get snapped up, so if you’re interested in viewing The Oaks we would recommend that you make an appointment to see it as soon as you can.

“Thanks to the huge amount of downstairs space you’ll be able to easily accommodate large parties of friends or an expanding family”

We spend a signifi cant portion of our lives in gyms in a laudable attempt to fi ght the fl ab and sculpt a Hollywood body.  At their best, gyms are a sanctuary from the travails of modern life; an air conditioned oasis, gentle music playing as you better yourself next to limber, beautiful people.  

BRINGING FITNESS HOME: BURN CALORIES, NOT CASH.

At worst, it’s a dank sweat-box, vying for 10 inches of fl oor space as beardy barbarians pump iron to powerful Dubstep.

If they have something in common, however, it’s that they are generally expensive. Why pay when you could have your own private gym in your property? 

It’s recommended you invest in a 14x10ft shed with a roof height of 7ft plus which should be ample for a general purpose gym. You can either buy a ready made shed or ask a professional carpenter to build one for you.

You’ll want to lacquer it with weatherproof paint, and to prevent your shed from rotting you’ll need to recoat once a year.

Next up, fl oor protection. You’re going to be dropping heavy weights onto the fl oor

so you’ll want heavy duty rubber fl oor mats in place. This will also help with thermal and sound insulation, so you can smash out a midnight gym session without the neighbours batting an eyelid.

So let’s warm up with some insulation to keep your gym warm in the winter and super cool in the summer. 

It’s really a job for a professional electrician to hook up your lighting, heaters, fan and iPod speakers. An extension cable from your house is not a quick fi x.

Now you’ve got the power, let’s talk ventilation. Your manly musk might get a bit oppressive after a while so it’s a good idea to install air vents on either side of the shed. One at the top to let out the warm moist air and one of the bottom for the cold air intake to keep it chill.

JEAA Members

Buying share transfer property di� ers from buying fl ying freehold or freehold property in that the transaction does not have to be registered in the Royal Court of Jersey, by way of a Deed of Conveyance. 

With share transfer you are e� ectively buying shares in the company that owns the property and acquiring the specifi c shares that relate to the part of the property that you are purchasing, by way of a Share Vending Agreement. Ownership of the shares gives you exclusive occupation and use of that property.

A share transfer transaction is more involved because it involves not only checks on the property by way of title checks and survey, but also checks on the company to ensure that the books and records are in order and that the company is of good standing. This could hold up any potential sale if the books and records have not been kept up to date.  Not only can this result in a delayed sale, but in some cases, additional costs to get the books and records updated, or worst case scenario cause the purchaser to pull out of a sale.

By law, every company has to keep records detailing the names of shareholders, directors, company secretary and any decisions made by its shareholders and directors by way of minutes. Thus, the minute book, share register, share certifi cate book, registers of directors and secretaries and the fi nancial statements should be kept up to date so that any relevant issues can be identifi ed and if necessary updated and/or rectifi ed.

HELPFUL HINTS FOR VENDORS OF SHARE TRANSFER PROPERTYIf one of the shareholders is acting as Company Secretary, ensure that all books and records are kept up to date and that any minutes or special resolutions have been recorded correctly;

If the property is managed, ensure it is a reputable company who will carry out the work in a timely manner;

If there is a service charge on the property, ensure that all shareholders pay the relevant amount in a timely manner and that this is recorded accurately in the company books;

Highlight the items covered by the service charge such as buildings insurance, electricity in the communal areas, garden maintenance, car park maintenance, managing agent’s fees and/or company secretary fees, lift maintenance, possibly window cleaning and possibly water rates;

Ensure that any future works to be carried out are minuted and confi rm whether they are covered by a sinking fund, which is a fund paid into as part of the service charge to cover such future maintenance.

Whatever happens, you can be sure that the JEAA will continue to provide valuable services to property hunters and sellers, and our members will be with you to guide you through the process from start to fi nish.
