Prices are fairly static. Rightmove\u2019s latest research showed that, across London, average asking prices increased 2.1 per cent in October, but remain 1.2 per cent lower than in October 2022. But according to property analyst Landmark the number of homes currently sold subject to contract is almost 50 per cent down compared to the same period in 2019, itself a slow year thanks to Brexit.<\/p>\n<p>What that leaves us with is a slowly-moving property market for buyers to navigate, where the number of deals being done is low, and one in which active house hunters are finding themselves facing refreshingly little competition for the best properties on offer:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"two\"><\/a><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-11078 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.black-brick.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Story-2-WEB.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"498\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.black-brick.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Story-2-WEB.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.black-brick.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Story-2-WEB-300x125.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.black-brick.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Story-2-WEB-1024x425.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.black-brick.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Story-2-WEB-768x319.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<h1>A Place of Safety<\/h1>\n<p>London\u2019s key draw for international buyers right now is its sense of safety. Politically, economically, and legally the British capital has long held a reputation as one of the most secure parts of the world in which to invest and live.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c I am seeing a lot of interest from investors who are circling,\u201d said Camilla Dell, managing partner of Black Brick.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMiddle Eastern clients feel that now is a good time to be buying, that there will be a window over the next 12 months where there are properties which have had price reductions of many millions of pounds.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>These buyers are not necessarily looking for homes to live in. They are looking for solid residential investments like build to rent properties, student digs, serviced apartments, and hotels. \u201cI am seeing some enquiries coming from institutional-sized clients, looking for opportunities,\u201d said Dell.<\/p>\n<p>Al Rayan Bank, one of Britain\u2019s largest Islamic banks, concurs. A report published by the bank found that London is the \u201cprimary focus\u201d for its investors, thanks to surging rental prices, a shortage of stock, and London\u2019s reputation for reliability.<\/p>\n<p>Some buyers are, of course, looking for property. In some cases, said Dell, these are people who have been kicking around the idea of a London home for years but who realise that the weak pound, price falls, and widespread discounting means that there has rarely been a better opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>American buyers also remain active.<\/p>\n<p>Naturally the weakness of Sterling is one reason for this, but so too is their anxiety over next year\u2019s presidential election; 2024 will be the first time that a UK General and US Presidential election have coincided for almost 30 years. \u201cThere is a build-up of uncertainty on both sides of the pond,\u201d said Dell.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"three\"><\/a><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-11080 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.black-brick.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Story-3-WEB.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"498\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.black-brick.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Story-3-WEB.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.black-brick.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Story-3-WEB-300x125.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.black-brick.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Story-3-WEB-1024x425.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.black-brick.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Story-3-WEB-768x319.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<h1>A Taxing Question<\/h1>\n<p>With Labour still firmly ahead in the polls, the party has pledged to reform Stamp Duty, adding an extra 2% surcharge on overseas buyers, who must already pay a \u00a361,250 levy on a property worth \u00a31,000,000, rising to \u00a3611,260 on a \u00a35,000,000 property.<\/p>\n<p>The Conservatives, meanwhile, appear to be considering moving in the opposite direction. It has been widely reported that Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is looking at altering Stamp Duty thresholds to bring down bills and drum up voter support.<\/p>\n<p>Black Brick\u2019s view is that high Stamp Duty acts as an artificial handicap on the housing market. \u201cI maintain that the fact that transactions have dropped off a cliff this year is because it is so expensive to move,\u201d said Dell. \u201cThe cost is extortionate for most normal people and a real drag on transaction volumes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you get into the \u00a320m-plus part of the market it has less of an impact. These are very discretionary buyers, and if they like something enough they will buy it and pay the tax. But there are so few of those kind of transactions. What keeps the market, and the whole property industry, going is volume, and that is suffering at the moment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In a situation of high buying costs coupled with high interest rates, Black Brick is finding its services increasingly in demand. \u201cFor us as a business the volume of clients has gone up not down,\u201d said Dell. \u201cIn markets like this the importance of having someone to advise and guide you is more important than ever because the cost of getting it wrong is massive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"four\"><\/a><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-11082 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.black-brick.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Story-4-WEB.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"498\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.black-brick.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Story-4-WEB.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.black-brick.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Story-4-WEB-300x125.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.black-brick.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Story-4-WEB-1024x425.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.black-brick.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Story-4-WEB-768x319.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<h1>At Your Service?<\/h1>\n<p>Housing campaigners have long urged the Government to step in and unravel the way service charges are calculated in the UK, to protect owners of leasehold flats from being abused and overcharged.<\/p>\n<p>And examples of bad practice can be found at all echelons of the housing market.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA client who we have acted for twice called me with a query about his service charge which seemed very high,\u201d said Caspar Harvard-Walls, a partner at Black Brick. \u201cWe put him in contact with an insurance specialist, and it turned out that the leaseholders were being overcharged by \u00a3100,000 per year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome of the service charges in London are absolutely bonkers. This week I was going to preview a flat until the agent told me not to bother. It was a two bedroom, \u00a35,000,000 flat, in a building with a porter and parking space. Yet the service charge was \u00a375,000 per annum. Even for the very wealthy, that is completely ridiculous.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Harvard-Walls routinely advises his clients not only to find out how much the service charge on a property they are considering is per year, but how many nights per year they are likely to stay there. \u201cWhen you look at it like that in some cases it is working out at \u00a31,000-a-night,\u201d he said. \u201cA lot of clients say they want serviced buildings, but they don\u2019t think about exactly how much it is going to cost them and what they will get for their money.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"five\"><\/a><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-11084 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.black-brick.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Story-5-WEB.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"498\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.black-brick.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Story-5-WEB.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.black-brick.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Story-5-WEB-300x125.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.black-brick.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Story-5-WEB-1024x425.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.black-brick.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Story-5-WEB-768x319.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<h1>Glorious Georgians<\/h1>\n<p>With their beautiful symmetry and generously sized spaces, Georgian property has long been considered the most popular period property.<\/p>\n<p>And new research by estate agent Yopa has found that, across the UK, homes built between the early 1700&#8217;s and the 1830&#8217;s commands a sale price premium of around a third.<\/p>\n<p>Part of the reason for this price performance is scale. Georgian homes tend to be larger than Victorian or Edwardian property (and certainly bigger than most newly built homes), and square footage and price are inexorably linked.<\/p>\n<p>Many of Black Brick\u2019s clients come to us dreaming of a beautiful period property. \u201cLondon\u2019s historic homes are one of the reasons why people come to the city,\u201d said Harvard-Walls.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAn awful lot of clients want to live in a \u201cproper\u201d London building.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But the decision on whether to buy a period, and particularly a listed, building needs to be taken carefully and with practicalities in mind.<\/p>\n<p>Looking after a landmark home is not cheap. Any repairs need to be carried out using traditional building methods and materials, and this means that running costs will be higher than for less rarefied homes. The Listed Property Owners\u2019 Club, which represents more than 500,000 owners, claims that nine out of ten of its members have postponed or cancelled work due to financial constraints. It would like the Government to offer VAT relief to help owners care for their properties as building costs increase.<\/p>\n<p>The other big issue is if a property is listed \u2013 or even just in a conservation area \u2013 it may not be possible to modernise. Harvard-Walls said a particular issue is open plan space, which buyers tend to want. However if a home has plenty of original features &#8211; elaborate cornicing, fireplaces, panelling, and staircases \u2013 it may not be feasible to open out the space without impacting on them. \u201cThey are not really conducive to modern living,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>In other cases the interiors have been altered many times in the past, and planning permission may therefore be granted for changes to the layout.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cProfessional advice from a planning consultant is the key here, before you buy,\u201d said Harvard-Walls.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"six\"><\/a><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-11086 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.black-brick.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Story-6-WEB.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"498\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.black-brick.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Story-6-WEB.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.black-brick.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Story-6-WEB-300x125.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.black-brick.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Story-6-WEB-1024x425.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.black-brick.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Story-6-WEB-768x319.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<h1>Get To Know NoMay<\/h1>\n<p>North Mayfair has traditionally been the ugly duckling of Mayfair, with the smart money piling into Mayfair Village, around Mount Street, and Grosvenor Square instead.<\/p>\n<p>The north of the neighbourhood has long been blighted by proximity to the dismal Oxford Street, with prices significantly lower.<\/p>\n<p>Now, however, the tide is beginning to turn.<\/p>\n<p>The arrival of the Elizabeth Line at Bond Street Station is a major selling point, with trains to Heathrow Airport\u2019s terminal 4 taking an impressive 37 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>The station has an entrance directly onto the once forlorn Hanover Square, which is quietly becoming a destination.

That\u2019s why we\u2019ve made it our mission to partner with top buying agents in key locations.<\/p>\n<p>Each month we will be bringing you an \u201cin focus\u201d look at one of the new markets that we now cover, from Berlin to Miami, Dubai to Sydney. This month we take a look at the ultimate winter trophy property, an Alpine ski chalet.<\/p>\n<p>It is the time of year when ski fanatics start excitedly counting down the days until Europe\u2019s great ski resorts open their slopes once more.<\/p>\n<p>And, since the start of the pandemic, demand for a second home in the Alps from buyers based all over Europe has reached new peaks.<\/p>\n<p>The appeal of fresh air, exercise, and the chance to spend time in one of the most beautiful environments in the world coupled with greater freedom from the office means that increasing numbers of skiers, snowboarders, and lovers of apr\u00e8s ski, are considering buying themselves a permanent base.<\/p>\n<p>During the very height of the pandemic buyers focussed heavily on Switzerland\u2019s ultra-expensive &#8211; and slightly stuffy &#8211; blue chip ski villages like St Moritz and Klosters.<\/p>\n<p>Research by Knight Frank found that prices in these resorts shot up by 16.5 and 14.4 per cent in 2021 alone.<\/p>\n<p>Last year price growth in Switzerland\u2019s resorts dropped back to around five per cent and buyer demand shifted towards France\u2019s fun, and comparatively affordable, Haute-Savoie resorts. In places like Meg\u00e8ve and Morzine Roddy Aris of Knight Frank said prices increased by around ten per cent last year.<\/p>\n<p>Buyers headed to Haute-Savoie not only because they can get more chalet for their Euro but because of the region\u2019s outstanding transport links and year-round activities from music festivals to mountain biking which increasingly attract owners to summer in the mountains. The high altitudes of Mont Blanc are another incentive, thanks to global warming.<\/p>\n<p>If you are interested in how Black Brick can help you find your perfect ski chalet, please contact <a href=\"mailto:Camilla.dell@black-brick.com\">Camilla.dell@black-brick.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"nine\"><\/a><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-11092 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.black-brick.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Story-9.-WEB.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"498\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.black-brick.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Story-9.-WEB.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.black-brick.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Story-9.-WEB-300x125.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.black-brick.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Story-9.-WEB-1024x425.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.black-brick.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Story-9.-WEB-768x319.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<h1>Acquisition of the Month 1: York House, Kensington, W8 &#8211; \u00a39,500,000<\/h1>\n<p>Our European clients wanted a base in central London and had some very specific requirements.
