WE’VE continued to see a marked increase in first-time buyers entering the market, this trend is continuing whereas the buy-to- let market has remained steady. Interestingly, we have seen many buyers interested in ‘second hand stock’. It has to be said that the second-hand market does provide potential for investment growth, as improvements to the proper ty, whether decoration, renovations or extensions, can all be a great way to attract a better price if and when the time comes to sell in the future.
Proper ty investors have remained resilient despite changes in mor tgage arrangements and stamp duty. Our off-plan launches have been ver y well attended, and we are seeing investment in developments that will be completed in 2018 and 2019, highlighting the confidence in this market.
We have had a number of enquiries from those affected by the decision to build a third runway at Heathrow. Of course, it remains an ongoing issue, as whilst the decision has been made to go ahead, there are still many finer details to be agreed and resolved.
A leaked repor t for cabinet ministers surmised that around 4,500 homes would be affected, either needing to be demolished or – by vir tue of being in the vicinity – liable to suffer. According to the repor t, residents could be offered 125% of the market value of their homes, and legal fees paid, with stamp duty waived. This is quite clearly a generous offer that compares favourably with settlements of other international airpor ts in similar circumstances, but of course a home is a home.The market at Heathrow is going to become quite an anomaly, as those moving into the area are likely to be buying up to take advantage of this rather generous package, whilst for many of the residents it might be a better option to sit and wait for the compensation, though this could involve years of waiting.
As said before, if it is your home, the runway will no doubt cause some hear tache; if you’re an investor it’s a whole different kettle of fish. Whether you’re looking to sell or buy, or just to discuss options as we know many Heathrow residents will be, come talk to us at Cameron.
