Landlord and Tenant Relationships

The best way to get the most out of your rental property is to ensure you have a solid personal relationship with your tenant, claims one specialist.

Ed Harris, managing director at EH Landlord Services, says that you should be in regular contact with the people letting your property because failure to build any kind of friendship or rapport with them can cause all "kinds of problems and challenges".

Speaking at the Landlord & Letting Show in Birmingham recently, he stated: "The biggest thing that you need to have in place is a relationship with your tenants because if the relationship is not there, then anything can happen."

He added that landlords should also ensure that they have adequate insurance in place to protect both the property and their income.

His comments come on the back of recent figures released by the Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML) which suggested that the buy to let market will remain buoyant for some time to come.

Good Pub or Restaurants As Important As Good Schools in Property Choice

A good range of local pubs or eateries coupled with quality local schools is the driving force behind solid house prices in most regions, say the people behind first-time buyer news site FirstRungNow.com.

Helen Adams, managing director of the website, believes that being able to wine and dine locally in a hip and trendy setting gives a great boost to property values.
She said: "Schools are important and people do move to areas for schools, but also if there's a thriving social life - restaurants, cafes and bars - that can also keep prices up too."

Ms Adams added that smaller towns and regions that have good commuter links to big cities such as London will always perform well no matter what the market conditions are at the time.

With that in mind, it is probably advised that those planning on purchasing a property check out the quality of the pubs and restaurants, while those of you looking to buy a pub should investigate the area's local amenities, schools and transport links.

Gastro pubs in particular remain a sound investment, with the All Party Parliamentary Beer Group stating last week that food sales are good way for any licensed premises to make money.

Buy to Let Market Is Still Strong

Figures released today by the Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML) show that the buy to let market is still strong.According to the body, mortgage loans to landlords increased by 16 per cent in the third quarter of this year.

Over the same three-month period, the amount of money loaned by financial institutions for property investment rose by 19 per cent, showing that banks and building societies are regaining their confidence in the buy to let sector.

A total of 34,500 buy to let mortgage advances were made in the quarter totalling an incredible £3.2 billion. It is the highest buy to let lending as stood since the onset of the credit crunch in 2008.

CML director general, Paul Smee, stated: "With tenant demand remaining strong in the rental sector, some existing buy-to-let landlords have been expanding their portfolios and the growth that returned to the sector in the preceding quarter has continued.”

Mark Durban, senior lettings agent at Paramount, said recently that at present the demand for rental property is so high that it exceeds the number of homes available.

London Housing Market, A Guide to Future Property Market

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”.

Centre for Economic and Business Research (CEBR) Report Fall in City Bonus and the Impact on London Property

Job cuts and falling bonuses in the City could cause house prices to drop in London, according to a report, London Loves Business writes.

Bonuses in the Square Mile are expected to fall by around 40 per cent year-on-year while approximately 27,000 jobs could go in 2011, the Centre for Economic and Business Research (CEBR) found recently. This could impact on houses prices in the capital and other areas in the South because it is believed a third of bonus money is spent on investing in property.

London is the only area of the country where house prices were higher last month than in October 2010, estate agent Chesterton Humberts and the CEBR’s House Price Poll of Polls found. Public sector cuts that have hit house prices in the rest of the country have not had such a large impact in London.

Chesterton Humberts CEO Robert Bartlett said: “London has been relatively unscathed by the recession and its aftermath. International buyers seeking a safe haven of value still equate prime London property with other secure portfolio investments such as gold. But the continuing economic turmoil in Europe and the perceived threat to the financial services sector will dampen traditional bonus purchases.

“London’s relative stability has masked the increasing divergence of prices between London and the rest of the country. Over the year to date prices have risen by 3.6 per cent in the most expensive fifth of property areas, all in London, and fallen by minus 4.5 per cent in the least expensive fifth.”

London Property Owners Consider Installing Solar Panels

Property owners wishing to add to savings already made by comparing commercial property insurance quotes should consider simple energy-saving measures, according to Siemens.

Lee Jones, product manager for energy management at the company believes that small and simple adjustments to buildings’ energy management systems to reflect the number of inhabitants can make big differences.

Speaking at an Energy Services and Technology Association event in Manchester recently, he also recommended limiting systems’ usage during mornings, evenings and weekends in order to cut back on costs.

Mr Jones said: "Analysing your profile can show you the abuse in your building – you are wasting money. People forget to set the building control system to reflect that there is no-one in on a bank holiday.

“If there are only a handful of people in there, then you do not need the full system running.”

Research from aspect.co.uk recently revealed that 51 per cent of London's property owners would consider installing solar power in order to save energy.

Hampstead Residential Property Market; Sale Prices Average 2% Above Asking Pirice

Prime residential property in central London has shown strong price growth over the past year of 13.6% but the rate of growth slowed to just 1.1% in the third quarter, a new report shows.

The analysis from Savills also shows that prices rose by an average of just 1.1% over the three months to the end of September compared to 6.4% from January to June.

There is continuing demand from overseas buyers looking for a global safe haven investment and some 58% of buyers were foreign nationals, with over one in five buying for investment. Less than half of buyers were acquiring property for use as their main residence and British buyers accounted for less than half of all purchases.

Those prime markets dominated by domestic demand have generally shown lower levels of price growth. But all prime London remains relatively buoyant compared to the mainstream UK market.

Within prime South West London, values rose by 1.3% in the quarter, taking annual price growth to 7.1%. This continued price growth has been underpinned by low levels of available stock. Those households selling prime family homes in the area are tending to recycle their housing wealth locally rather than make a move into the commuter belt.

The relative strength of the sub-markets is also seen in the sale price asking price ratio. In both central London and the prime markets of North London, including Hampstead and Islington, sale prices averaged 1% to 2% above asking price in the three months to the end of September.

By contrast, in South West London and the prime East of City markets they were 5% and 6% below asking price respectively.

The prime markets of Wapping and Canary Wharf have generally seen the least strong recovery since the downturn, although prices are 1.7% above their 2007 peak, with year to date growth of 4%. These areas have seen reduced levels of owner occupier demand from those employed in the financial and business services sector, but this has presented investment opportunities which have attracted overseas interest.
