Heavily influenced by the desire to make political capital ahead of the election, UK Chancellor George Osborne\u2019s March Budget contained several policy points of note for the UK property industry. In aggregate these measures are likely to drive increased attention on the sub \u00a31m bracket which has continued to be the strongest area of the market since the change in stamp duty threshold rates in December.<\/p>\n<p>For those seeking to begin their lives on the property ladder, the Chancellor developed the government\u2019s popular Right to Buy scheme with new measures to help buyers put together the all-important deposit. The government will contribute an additional \u00a350 for every \u00a3200 saved in the new Help to Buy Investment Savings Account up to a maximum of \u00a33000. Couples can therefore receive a maximum of \u00a36000 from the state.<\/p>\n<p>For more senior UK citizens, the UK government had already announced its intention to end the compulsory purchase of annuities by retirees. Those changes take effect this April, freeing pensioners to cash in their pension pot and reinvest it. This year\u2019s Budget broadened the new freedoms to existing annuity holders, who will be allowed to cash in their policies from next year. A number of market commentators have suggested that investment property is likely to prove an attractive home for many, potentially offering income levels superior to annuities at current rates as well as an asset to pass on to future generations. In a recent survey of those approaching retirement age in the UK, a third of respondents said they would consider investing in property as part of their pension.<\/p>\n<p>We believe that pensioners need to tread carefully before plunging into the Buy-to-let market and making decisions that may prove costly in the long term. Not every property makes a good rental investment and understanding the precise needs of the investor, the market and what appeals to tenants is crucial for success. As with all investments, pensioners considering Buy-to-let should seek professional advice.<\/p>\n<p class=\"intro2\"><b><a id=\"two\"><\/a><\/b><strong>Sydney bubble, South African investment freedoms positive for London<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-4122\" src=\"https:\/\/www.black-brick.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Fotolia_68283205_Subscription_Monthly_M.jpg\" alt=\"Fotolia_68283205_Subscription_Monthly_M\" width=\"227\" height=\"151\" \/>In international news we note the significant increase from 4m rand to 10m rand in the annual foreign personal investment allowance announced by the National Treasury in South Africa in February. Including the 1m rand discretionary investment allowance married South African couples will be able to invest up to 22million (\u00a31.2m) rand outside of their home country from April 1. Always a popular destination for South Africans, we believe London will benefit from these greater investment freedoms. Last month highlighted the bubble conditions of the property market in Sydney. The dangers of a sharp retracement was recently highlighted by the Australian Reserve Bank\u2019s in its annual financial stability report. Australia&#8217;s central bank said that: \u201cheightened level of investor activity and borrowing could amplify the housing price cycle and increase the risk of significant price falls later\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Camilla Dell, Managing Partner of Black Brick says: \u201cThe likelihood of a price correction in Australia\u2019s property market is increasing. The Reserve Bank\u2019s report is a warning to investors not to take high property prices and current rental yields in Australia for granted. Black Brick is advising its clients \u2013 many of them investors from Asia \u2013 to look elsewhere for more sustainable and secure capital growth. In London, high-end property yields continue to grow at what we believe to be a sustainable rate. With the global macro-economic picture looking increasingly uncertain, it is important for property investors to be properly advised.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"intro2\"><a id=\"three\"><\/a><strong>Full of Eastern promise \u2013 why property bargain hunters are now looking East<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-4123\" src=\"https:\/\/www.black-brick.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Fotolia_67864740_Subscription_Monthly_M.jpg\" alt=\"Fotolia_67864740_Subscription_Monthly_M\" width=\"227\" height=\"151\" \/>Is the phrase \u2018prime East London\u2019 a contradiction in terms? Not any more. While those looking for better value away from the rarified prices per square foot of properties in core Prime Central London have previously focused their attention largely on South West London, there is a growing stream of smart money now heading East. The growing presence of high profile estate agents underlines the area\u2019s increasing popularity. In February, Marsh &amp; Parsons opened its 23rd London office in Shoreditch with Savills swiftly following suit. With a reputation for Bohemia and the acceptable face of Hackney, Shoreditch\u2019s industrial heritage and warehouse conversions are already popular as office space for London\u2019s fast growing media and technology sectors.<\/p>\n<p>Five minutes walk from Liverpool Street station and the City, Shoreditch is just one of an increasing number of enclaves in Prime East London which are now the subject of long overdue interest from both domestic and overseas residential property buyers looking for value. Areas such as Bethnal Green, Clerkenwell, London Fields,\u00a0 De Beauviour Square, Wapping and London Bridge may not be familiar to many of our overseas readers, but these areas offers buyers a diverse range of residential housing stock, settings and communities at prices that are significantly lower than other areas of Prime London. Black Brick is one of the few property search agents who not only covers Prime East London but who has long-term specialist expertise in the area.<\/p>\n<p class=\"intro2\"><a id=\"four\"><\/a><strong>Property acquisition of the Month: Value in De Beauvoir Square<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-4124\" src=\"https:\/\/www.black-brick.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/De-Beauvoir-Square-19C-Ext-1.jpg\" alt=\"De-Beauvoir-Square-19C-Ext\" width=\"227\" height=\"151\" \/>Our British clients already lived in Islington and wanted to find a buy-to-let property with good potential for capital growth in the same area. They clearly knew the area well but despite their proximity couldn\u2019t find anything that fit their remit for a premium property in the highly competitive sub \u00a31m segment for under market value. We sourced them an immaculate upper maisonette with roof terrace on one of the most sought after addresses in De Beauvoir, a fabulous enclave of period housing just north of the City and in between Dalston and Hoxton. We entered into a competitive bid situation with one other buyer.<\/p>\n<p>We initially lost out to the competing \u2018cash\u2019 buyer. \u00a0However, when the original buyer failed to act quickly enough our relationship with the agent and their full confidence that our client would complete allowed us to agree the sale at \u00a3925,000. This price equates to \u00a3762 per square foot, where apartments on inferior roads in De Beauvoir have traded hands at closer to \u00a31,000 sq\/ft.<\/p>\n<p class=\"intro2\"><a id=\"five\"><\/a><strong>Best in class \u2013 British schools in the spotlight<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-4125\" src=\"https:\/\/www.black-brick.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Fotolia_68078203_Subscription_Monthly_M.jpg\" alt=\"Fotolia_68078203_Subscription_Monthly_M\" width=\"227\" height=\"151\" \/>At Black Brick we have long been aware of how many of our clients are attracted to the UK in the first place by the choice and quality of education on offer. According to a recent report in the Financial Times newspaper, 32% of boarders at UK private schools are now children of non-UK nationals. Since 2007, the number of Chinese pupils at British private schools has doubled, while the number of Russian pupils has trebled, attracted by what the FT describes as British \u201cboarding schools\u2019 image as purveyors of a gold standard of education\u201d. But school websites and reported academic results only tell part of the story, so how do overseas families know which school is right for their children? What are the strengths and weaknesses of each school? At Black Brick our links to the very best school advisers is becoming ever more important. It&#8217;s all part of the Black Brick service &#8211; making our clients\u2019 lives easier, and any move to the UK as stress free as possible. As well as school advisers, all clients of Black Brick get access to our valuable Black Brick \u201cBlack Book\u201d &#8211; our directory of the best architects, interior designers, landscape gardeners, insurance brokers, tax advisors, concierge services and private banks among others.<\/p>\n<p class=\"intro2\"><a id=\"six\"><\/a><strong>Essential Services \u2013 client feedback on our Vacant Care and Property Management Services<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-4126\" src=\"https:\/\/www.black-brick.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/keys1.jpg\" alt=\"keys\" width=\"227\" height=\"151\" \/>Our Vacant Care and Property Management offerings have grown quickly in recent years. We believe this reflects both the time pressures on our client base and an unwavering commitment to the very highest levels of service. But don&#8217;t just take our word for it. Here are just a few of the positive comments our services have received recently; \u201cI switched to Black Brick\u00a0because of the disappointing service I was experiencing through my high street letting agent\u2019s property management services. It has been an excellent decision. Their responsiveness and thoroughness has made my life as an overseas land lord much easier.\u201d <strong>An Investor, Hong Kong<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn behalf of my family , I want to tell you how much we appreciate the endless effort and care of service you dedicated to getting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.black-brick.com\/expertise\/case-studies\/albion-gate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Albion Gate<\/a>\u00a0to its optimum condition, in both cleaning and maintaining. We all admired your ingenuity in creating that outstanding follow up and\u00a0Vacant Care\u00a0service to us. I was personally impressed with the way you kept your self-motivated and focused as if you are the apartment owner, even in the face of several obstacles, you managed through with great determination.\u201d <strong>A Buyer, Kuwait.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeing a Black Brick customer for more than one\u00a0year, I feel very satisfied with the\u00a0service. My manager Sophie is always prompt, kind and responsive which gives me the knowledge that my property in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.black-brick.com\/expertise\/case-studies\/thackerayhouse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Thackeray House<\/a>\u00a0is in good hands.\u201d <strong>An investor, Russia.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a non-resident, I am very pleased I could find Black Brick Vacant Care Service to help us manage our property on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.black-brick.com\/expertise\/case-studies\/johnstreet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">John Street<\/a>\u00a0in London. They bring a real trouble free service, and help us to solve the administrative and practical details. They were also very helpfull for the decoration and the furniture of the flat. Sophie is always available and very effective. I am very satisfied with the Vacant Care Service and would highly recommend it.\u201d <strong>A buyer. France.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cHaving so many contacts in the UK property market provides our Company the choice of the very best the market has to offer with our preferred Property Agent List reflecting this. Black Brick Property Solutions LLP (\u201cBlack Brick\u201d) is among the top of this list due to their continued professionalism, exceptional service, personal touch and fantastic results for our clients.\u201d <strong>A Trust Manager, Channel Islands.<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy wife and I used Black Brick\u2019s buying service to acquire our property in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.black-brick.com\/expertise\/case-studies\/drayton-gardens\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Drayton Gardens<\/a>\u00a0in\u00a02014 as a secondary residence.\u00a0 We were very happy with the buying service so when it came to considering engaging someone to look after the property in our absence it made sense for us to consider Black Brick\u2019s vacant care service. We have now used the service for 9 months and are as pleased with this service as we were with the buying service. Since we are based overseas it is important \u00a0to us to have someone on the ground in London who we are confident will maintain our property in an efficient and professional manner. Black Brick\u2019s service, led by Sophie Amasha, has fully met our requirements. The weekly inspections and prompt addressing of any maintenance issues and pre arrival\u00a0and\u00a0 post departure services have meant that on our visits to London we have been able fully to enjoy the property rather than spend time trying to deal with property related issues ourselves.\u201d <strong>A buyer, Cayman Islands.<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe purchased our investment property,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.black-brick.com\/expertise\/case-studies\/viridian-apartments\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Viridian Apartments<\/a>, with Black Brick as our buying agent. Upon completion, we had the task of redecorating the property and finding a tenant. After reviewing the proposals from other reputable agents with prominent offices in Battersea, we decided to strengthen our relationship with Black Brick and appointed them as our managing agents.<\/p>\n<p>Though other agents were offering lower commissions, we decided that as overseas landlords, our property and our tenant would be better looked after by an agent who would be more personally involved. Sophie Amasha is extremely efficient, knowledgeable, hardworking and has a delightful personality. The redecoration and furnishing was completed in a timely manner and done efficiently and to a high standard, due to the great relationship that Black Brick and Sophie have with their service providers and the close supervision that they undertake.<\/p>\n<p>Sophie\u2019s guidance was invaluable in promptly finding a professional couple as our tenants, and negotiating the lease and rental. This was done in the week before Christmas, when everyone else would have been preoccupied with the festivities, and deferred the property to January\u2019s listing! I am pleased to say that we made the right decision, and I believe that our tenants are extremely happy with the service that they receive whenever there is an issue with the property\u201d. <strong>A buyer, Kenya.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For more information about these services, recent case studies and for additional client testimonials please go to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.black-brick.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.black-brick.com<\/a> or call us on +44 (0) 203 141 9861.
