Estate Agents Set Little Store By 'Waitrose Effect' in Chiswick
Published: 05/06/2017 Last Updated: 05/06/2017 12:31:57 Tags:
A new report by Lloyds Bank is claiming that Chiswick property prices are much higher the rest of the borough due to a ‘Waitrose Effect.’ They believe having a premium supermarket in your area means that you will have to pay much higher prices for a home and that there is only one other place in the UK where this effect is stronger than in W4.
Andrew Nunn of Andrew Nunn & Associates wasn’t inclined to take the research that seriously and said it reminded him of a Michael Mcintyre sketch for which he helpfully sent us a link to the video below.

Andrew Nunn Associates signs deal with online purchasing platform Clicktopurchase
Published: 09/12/2016 Last Updated: 09/12/2016 12:23:12 Tags:
Clicktopurchase® is the first, and currently only platform, in the UK to enable clients to buy and sell commercial and residential properties securely over the internet.
The agent operated platform provides three unique facilities:
• Online exchange of a private treaty property contract
• Online exchange of a private treaty property contract by “best offers”
• Online real time auctioning with a live auctioneer interacting with the bidding audience.
Neil Singer CEO of clicktopurchase® says: “Our technology enables both agents and private individuals to go beyond merely listing properties online – allowing parties to submit legal offers to treat online which, if accepted, create an instant online legal exchange of contracts.”
“In a nutshell clicktopurchase® is revolutionising the property sales process – making buying a property fast and easy, whilst delivering certainty, transparency and accountability. It enables distant buyers to transact as easily as a local party and brings liquidity and flexibility to the market whilst putting an end to gazumping and chipping/gazundering.”
Earlier this year the total value of properties sold/purchased by an online clicktopurchase® exchange, by private treaty, best offers or real time auction, passed the £150m barrier.
Andrew Nunn strongly believes in putting their clients in the driving seat and this facility not only enhances that offering but will provide real benefits to those customers who choose to use it.
Andrew Nunn, says: “We are absolutely delighted to exclusively offer our clients this unique technology, it will bring new levels of speed and certainty to the sales process. We are the only West London estate agent to have this platform at present and it will really set us apart from other agencies.”
“Whilst it may not be appropriate for all transactions where there are “a chain of sales” (unless every transaction uses CTP) it will be perfect for sales of new build property, probate sales and unmodernised houses” comments Andrew. “Furthermore our clients will get the best of both worlds – interaction with highly experienced personable professionals plus transactional certainty.”

Championing West London’s local food and drinks scene is something that High Road Market wants to become known for: being a hub of food and drinks activity as well as a quality one-stop-shop.
These events, demos, talks and tastings, are just one facet of the market, which aims to bring a bit of excitement and innovation to West London.
Event will run at High Road Market, Belmont Primary School, 1 Belmont Rd, Chiswick, W4 5UL throughout market trading hours: Saturday from 10am to 3pm
19th Nov: Portobello Brewing Co: bringing Star, Pilsner, Westway Pale Ale and Stiff Lip IPA

Good News For The Night Owls of Chiswick
Published: 10/11/2016 Last Updated: 10/11/2016 10:00:40 Tags:
The weekend night tube service on the Piccadilly line which will serve Turnham Green will be running on average every 10 minutes throughout the night on Fridays and Saturdays, however there will be no service on the Terminal 4 loop, or between Acton Town and Uxbridge.
Once the Night Tube is operational, London Underground say they will continue to work with residents to investigate any issues regarding noise. They have also promised to ensure that any station announcements do not cause excessive noise levels.
Sadiq Khan, said: “We’ve seen how enthusiastically Londoners have embraced the Night Tube, and I am delighted that we’ve exceeded expectations with more than one million journeys made already.
“The addition of the Piccadilly line will help even more thousands of Londoners every weekend, from those taking in the capital’s cultural landmarks to the many workers who keep London open around the clock.”
TfL claim the Night Tube will cut night-time journeys by an average of 20 minutes, with some cut by more than an hour. It will also play a vital role in opening up London's night-time economy, supporting almost 2,000 permanent jobs and boosting the economy by £360m.
Late night Tube use has increased at double the rate of day-time trips and Night bus usage has risen by 173% since 2000. There are already over half a million users of the Tube after 10pm on Fridays and Saturdays.

Stamp Duty Facts 2015/16
Published: 17/10/2016 Last Updated: 17/10/2016 15:23:02 Tags:
This represents a clear increase from 2006-07, when properties in the same financial band brought in only 36% of the surcharge.
The number of residential and non-residential property transactions where the value of property was £250,000 or less has decreased from 81% to 65% between 2006-07 and 2015-16.
The proportion of total SDLT revenues from these properties has also fallen, from 19% to 8% – an expected outcome given high levels of house price growth in recent years.
Transactions valued over £5m generated 25% of SDLT receipts over the period. These largely represent non-residential sales.
A significant 46% of stamp duty receipts in 2015-16 came from London, where house prices have risen sharply.
One single London borough – Kensington and Chelsea – contributed 7% of revenues for the country, at £514m.
Stamp Duty - A Market Killer?
Published: 16/10/2016 Last Updated: 17/10/2016 15:24:07 Tags:
We hear this from buyers on a daily basis and with the fall in annual house price inflation movers cannot offset this cost other than making low offers or buying property where they can “add value.”
Paying tens or hundreds of thousands of pounds simply to move house is totally unrealistic and has killed of fluidity in the marketplace suggests Andrew Nunn. At this level there are simply too many tangible alternative investments for a buyer to consider and unless the rate is changed we will see more basements being built in every street. In turn transactional volumes are reduced which means London prices will remain artificially high and revenue for the tax office will fall……..neither scenario can be that palatable for the current government.

Sales Update, September 2016
Published: 01/09/2016 Last Updated: 18/10/2016 12:18:25 Tags:
We anticipated a steady remaining four months to 2016 with long term owner occupiers looking to buy and taking advantage of some of the cheapest mortgage deals seen in decades and investors looking to take advantage of plenty of supply.
Whilst the roller coaster of conflicting economic reports is likely to continue over the coming weeks we sense the fundamentals of the London property market remain strong with limited quality supply and steady demand.
“There is a tight correlation between those agents that are providing “best advice” and the good sales they are achieving versus those agents who still seem keen to maintain their registers through over promising and under delivering” suggests Andrew Nunn “I find it quite ridiculous that 8 months into 2016 certain competitors of ours still haven’t worked out the pricing mechanism in their market”
If you are considering selling in 2016, or would simply like to have a better understanding of the market than please contact Andrew Nunn on 020 8995 1500 or andrew@andrewnunnassociates.co.uk
A new restaurant in Grove Park.
Published: 17/08/2016 Last Updated: 18/10/2016 12:35:21 Tags:
The décor is fashioned in Lorraine’s signature fun and eclectic style creating a beautiful ambience in this quaint boutique restaurant.
Andrew Nunn & Associates staff have been keen to try the new venture after a review from our colleague Joanna. The cocktails were fantastic the food divine, even though the dining space is small the setting was perfect for a summer evening. However maybe more of a treat than a regular outing (£££)!
The kitchen is headed up by Michelle Lepherd who has previously worked at the River Café and also St. John under the guidance of the famous Fergus Henderson.
Michelle has created a menu with a different style of dining than that normally found in Lorraine's restaurants, a combination of grazing and sharing. Her ingredients will be
locally sourced and she will use local suppliers as much as possible. The menu will include Asian and European food.

EU buyers withdraw from London property market
Published: 17/06/2016 Last Updated: 17/10/2016 12:03:29 Tags:
Just 9 per cent of people buying “prime” central London houses and apartments in the first quarter of this year came from other EU countries, compared with 29 per cent a year earlier and a five-year average of 20 per cent.
This is despite a 10 per cent fall in sterling against the euro that has made UK homes significantly cheaper for European buyers.
Interest in Buy-to-Let drops by over a quarter as tax changes begin.
Published: 17/05/2016 Last Updated: 18/10/2016 12:31:21 Tags:
Whilst Rightmove recorded its busiest ever Q1 for enquiries to estate agents, the intentions of buyers shifted in March, with the number of people saying they were planning to buy a property to rent out dropping by 27% compared to the same month last year. This contrasts with the increase in interest seen from investors between December and February as they tried to make last minute purchases before April’s additional 3% tax deadline.
This waning of interest definitely seems to predict a slowdown in the buy-to-let market, but what’s not yet clear is if this will only turn out to be a short-term pause. It could be that some investors are waiting until the tax changes have some time to bed in before they review their business and continue to make purchases. If this removes some of the competition for smaller properties then it could spell good news for many first-time buyers with a deposit ready as they may find now is the ideal time to make a move.
Andrew Nunn says:
“We have witnessed a general decline in enquiries from investors since the beginning of 2016 and those that have enquired have already made their purchases in-line with the incremental stamp duty deadline of 31st March 2016. As investors, domestic and overseas have been prolific in acquiring property over the last four years – their sudden absence in the current market almost certainly will lead to a softening of prices, particularly in the highly competitive flat market where we have also seen a dramatic increase in supply levels. This will then give first time buyers a greater opportunity to enter the market and purchase their first homes in a less competitive arena.
Stamp Duty weighing on luxury housing market?
Published: 17/04/2016 Last Updated: 17/10/2016 11:39:55 Tags:
An upmarket house builder, which focuses on London and the south-east, said reservations for new homes were 4% lower between November and February, compared with the same period a year earlier. It sold 62 homes worth more than £2m each, a similar number to a year earlier, when the market slowed in the run-up to the general election.
Its been warned that Britain’s housing supply could be hit by what it called “one of the world’s highest property taxation regimes” along with planning issues, pointing to “sometimes conflicting policies”.
Transaction levels at the upper end of the housing market have been affected by the significant increase in transaction taxes over the past 18 months, which will have consequential effects on both social mobility and the supply of new homes.
Purchases of homes costing more than £937,500m became more expensive after an overhaul of the stamp duty regime in December 2014. For example, the effective tax rate on a £2.1m property went up to 7.9%, an increase of £18,750. And from April, buyers of second homes and buy-to-let properties face a further 3% stamp duty surcharge.
Investment bank Morgan Stanley and investment firm LCP are predicting that prices for luxury flats will fall amid a glut of new-built properties.
However, despite global macro uncertainty, including the impending UK European Referendum, underlying demand has remained strong.
In another sign that luxury housing schemes are struggling to attract buyers, more than 80 apartments on sale at Battersea Power Station in south-west London have had their asking prices slashed since the start of the year, according to the property firm Propcision.
Brexit may spark correction in the rental market?
Published: 17/03/2016 Last Updated: 17/10/2016 11:28:36 Tags:
Up to 200,000 workers could leave London if the UK exits the European Union, resulting in a huge correction in commercial property prices, research has found and this could have a knock-on effect for residential property, as highly paid members of staff who are employed by international companies move elsewhere to work, this could mean a surge of rental properties which have comfortably been housing corporate tenants for a number of years could flood the market.
Important information for Landlords - Right to Rent
Published: 17/02/2016 Last Updated: 17/10/2016 11:26:23 Tags:
The basic principle is that a landlord may not allow an adult to occupy a property under a residential tenancy agreement unless they satisfy one of three criteria:
The adult is a British Citizen; or
The adult is an EEA or Swiss National; or
The adult has a right to rent in the UK.
How to make a check:
1) Check which adults will live at your property as their only or main home
2) See the original documents that allow the tenant to live in the UK
3) Check that the documents are genuine and belong to the tenant, with the tenant present
4) Make and keep copies of the documents and record the date you made the check
If a tenant has a limited time remaining in the UK, you must check these documents again to ensure their right to rent has been extended. Follow up checks must be carried out just before the expiry of the date or 12 months after the original check, whichever is the later. If you find out your tenant no longer has the right to rent in the UK, you must report it to the Home Office.
For more information and an acceptable list of original documents please visit: https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/497242/Right_to_Rent_Document_Checks_-_a_User_Guide.pdf
As a professional letting agency, we will ensure these checks are carried out for all new tenancies on your behalf.

Latest Move On Stamp Duty
Published: 14/12/2015 Last Updated: 14/10/2016 15:50:47 Tags:
From 1st April 2016 there will be higher rates of stamp duty applied of 3% above the current stamp duty rates. As this can be interpreted in different ways it is difficult to know the exact additional cost. The figures below provided by Capricorn Finical are the worst case scenario, where the 3% increase is applied to all the current stamp duty bandings.
The following image shows the potential changes to stamp duty.
These calculations will be subject to change, if the rules are implemented in a different way.
Perhaps for those considering purchasing an investment property or second home may want to do this in the new year to avoid the extra tax!

Legionella Risk Assessment
Published: 14/10/2015 Last Updated: 14/10/2016 15:39:31 Tags:
Legionella risk assessments are now a statutory legal requirement under the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002, in exactly the same way that annual gas safety certificates are a statutory legal requirement under the Gas Safety Regulations 1998. There seems to be a general misconception that gas safety checks are mandatory, but legionella risk assessments are just ‘best practice’, but this is not the case.
An assessment can be carried out by a ‘competent’ person. A ‘competent’ person does not need to be a contractor, and can be ‘someone with the necessary skills, knowledge and experience’ in understanding how legionella bacteria grows, how it becomes a risk, and what steps can be taken to reduce the risk. If you wish to carry this out yourself we suggest you follow the guidance of The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) at http://www.hse.gov.uk/legionnaires/faqs.htm. Alternatively if you wish to organise for a specialist water treatment company please contact Suzana in Property Management for more information on 0208 995 1600 or suzana@andrewnunnassociates.co.uk.
Should the assessment show the risks are low and are being properly managed, no further action is needed. Should the assessment show the risks are high, immediate action should be taken. It is important to review the assessment regularly in case anything changes in the system.

The Association of Residential Letting Agents (ARLA) has been appointed by the Mayor as one of the accrediting bodies for London Rental Standard. As an organisation, we believe in maintaining the highest professional standards in the sector and have long called for more regulation of letting agents.

It is crucial we eliminate the small minority of rogue landlords and agents who neglect their responsibilities and bring our industry into disrepute. We are therefore proud to be working with the Mayor on this first step towards a more regulated industry.

The move, outlined by George Osborne in the Autumn Statement, goes some way towards bringing London into line with other global property investment locations – such as New York, Paris and Hong Kong – where foreign buyers face much stricter tax rules in order to shield local home buyers from the inflationary effects of international demand.From April 2015, homeowners who are non-resident in the UK for tax purposes will become liable for CGT on any increase in property values after that date.
Concerning UK domiciled landlords, at present, owner-occupiers who become landlords can claim private residence relief from CGT if they sell the property within 36 months. From April 2014, this exempt period will be halved to 18 months, “to reduce the incentive for those with multiple homes to exploit the rules”.

40% growth in London house prices?
Last Updated: 16/09/2014 16:51:50 Tags:
Average prices in the capital will smash through the £500,000 mark as the economic recovery gathers pace and mortgages become more freely available, said City forecasters the Centre for Economics and Business Research.
But the report insisted that the “prodigious” rise was nothing to worry about and merely reflected the capital’s success as a global metropolis. It said the surge “is being driven by the fundamental fact that people want to live in the capital with its employment and cultural opportunities”.
Daniel Solomon, author of the report, added: “The housing market recovery we are seeing rests on firm economic and demographic foundations — at least for now. Talk of a house price bubble is premature.”
London house prices have been rising steadily since the early summer of 2009 when the Bank of England slashed its interest rate to a record low of 0.5 per cent.
Prices broke through their pre-financial crisis highs in spring last year and are rising at a double-digit rate in many parts of London. The CEBR projections shows the average price standing at £566,000 by 2018.
The latest bullish forecast came as figures showed mortgage approvals standing at a new five-year high.
Banks and building societies gave the all clear to 62,226 home loans in August — normally a quiet month for the property market — the most since the early days of the credit crunch in February 2008.
A further rise in the volume of mortgages is expected in the autumn after David Cameron ordered the launch of the second phase of the Government’s £12 billion Help to Buy scheme to be next week instead of January.
It is aimed at assisting buyers by providing a state guarantee of home loans representing up to 15 per cent of the purchase price.

UK home building hits highest since 2007
Last Updated: 16/09/2014 16:56:45 Tags:
New-home registrations in the UK rose by 28% in 2013 to 133,670, the highest number since 2007, the National House Building Council (NHBC) said.
In London, 26,230 new-build homes were registered, a 60% increase on 2012.
But the NHBC warned that a new-home shortage was pushing up prices.
NHBC chief executive Mike Quinton said: "Looking back at 2013 it is very clear that it has been the best in a number of years for the sector as a whole, across the entire country.
