What the papers say

The papers this week were full of property stories, some commenting in general, some on specific markets. The FT had an excellent summary of what’s going on in St James’s but it’s not exactly mainstream. Earlier in the week they provided a global round up in which they had been kind enough to invite me to comment.

“That said, the top end of the London housing market is overcooked. A decade of rising prices is coming to an end. Houses will again be homes rather than investments, with only the very best in class achieving premium prices. Prices have become unaffordable to many but there are more people who have to sell than there are who must buy, and markets will adjust to compensate — as they always do.”


“We’re going to have loads of empty and part-built posh ghost towers,” he says. “They were built as gambling chips for rich overseas investors, but they are no longer interested in the London casino and have moved on.”


“It’s a Siberian winter out there, and there are still significant icebergs ahead for the top end of the market as Brexit looms closer,”

Advice – whether you like it or not.

My job is to listen to what my clients want, set out what I think their options are, recommend which one I think they should take and then to shut up and take their instructions.

My job is to make sure your biggest purchase isn’t your most expensive.

Good legal advisors

Good legal advisors

People often under-estimate just how important a good property conveyancer is to the house moving process. Click on the image to see a list of those I have worked with in the past, seen operating first hand and who I heartily recommend.

Insurance

Insurance

If you need buildings insurance from exchange of contracts or ongoing insurance or would like to know more about Homebuyers Insurance then there is more detail here;

Building Surveyors

Building Surveyors

I have worked with a lot of surveyors and recommend these who have all worked for previous clients if you are looking for a common sense, practical and sensibly priced survey. Detailed and comprehensive they write reports in plain English.

Stamp duty advisors

Stamp duty advisors

Some useful contacts who can help advise on Stamp Duty Land Tax or the 'purchase' tax in the UK.

Good financial advisors

Good financial advisors

A mortgage broker and a top financial planner can make or break a deal and whilst there seem to be more than half that are ‘below average’ there are surprisingly few that I have had first hand experience of and can heartily recommend.

Other buying agents

Other buying agents

If I can’t help because I’m already working for someone with a similar brief (or conceivably just because you don’t like my style!) then here are 50+ other buying agents in London & across the country that you might consider before you make up your mind. Its vital that you have the right person helping you even if that person isn't me.
