AVERAGES

Apartment Type Sq FtPrice Changes

RESIDENTIAL SALES Prices

• HALIFAX – 0.4% increase over the quarter for the UK as a whole.

• NATIONWIDE – 0.2% increase over the quarter for UK as a whole.

• CITY RES – prices reasonably level during the quarter with studios again dragging down some growth elsewhere.

Market Activity

• Market activity remained resilient despite the issues facing the market. Slightly weaker activity compared with the same period last year (see note below on Brexit).

• Investment market (selling to local investors) remains subdued due to increased tax burden (the third reduction in tax relief has now been implemented with the passing of the new tax year on April 6th 2019).

• Good quality apartments in decent, well established schemes continue to prove popular and attract multiple interested parties.

• Difficulties in progressing sales to completion with some down valuing continuing to occur in the city together with delays in leasehold legal issues.

Supply/demand

• Increase in supply of investor stock being delivered across the city (predominately at the lower/cheaper end of the market) is continuing to have an effect on pricing/demand.

• Definite and noticeable increase (over the same period last year) in supply of investor stock as properties become vacant (seasonal) and some landlords deciding to sell.

• City is continuing to attract wealthier investors/buyers who are looking for “better quality” schemes/apartments that are in short supply/not being delivered at present.

Tax/legislation/politics/finance • Continued uncertainty over the economy and more particularly Brexit appears to be

convincing the Bank of England/Monetary Policy Committee to retain rates at 0.75% however recent speculation hinting at a possible reduction by year end/early next year.

• Somewhat surprisingly Brexit/political uncertainty does not appear to have the pronounced negative affect on the market that some commentators had suggested it would have done. It appears that the type of buyer who is buying in the city centre is doing so irrespective of the likely outcome of Brexit/election. We are not convinced that a general election would also have such a subdued reaction!!

Alexandra Tower is one of Liverpool’s most iconic residential buildings literally “perched” on the River Mersey at Princes Dock. The apartments in the scheme benefit from stunning views, either across the river towards the Welsh Hills or back towards the famous Liverpool City skyline. Having been improved by the previous owner to include refurbished entrance/concierge, upgraded communal areas and the reinstatement of car parking Alexandra Tower now offers some of the best apartments in the city.

Apartment Type Sq FtPRS/BTR (projected)

AVERAGES

Price ChangesCity Centre (L1 & L2) Docklands (L3)

RESIDENTIAL LETTINGS

Prices

• Rents fairly static during the quarter overall although we have seen renewed strength in activity at the lower end of the market particularly affordable 1 beds.

• Most landlords happy to see continuity of tenancy/small increase on renewal rather than trying to substantially raise rents.

Market Activity

• Market reasonably active during the quarter but slightly below last year activity levels.

• Continued strong interest in larger/more expensive properties.

• The introduction of the fee ban on 1st June did not appear to cause too much upheaval in the market. Some tenants did delay their move during May until after the fee ban introduction but not in substantial numbers.

Supply/demand • The completion of several new schemes with more affordable stock increased supply

with a definite and noticeable effect on supply/demand.

• City is continuing to attract wealthier tenants who are looking for “better quality schemes/apartments” that are in short supply/not being delivered at present.

• The slowing pipeline and likelihood that a substantial portion of this will not get built may well lessen the pressure on rents that would occur if this pipeline was delivered.

Tax/legislation/politics/finance • Due to increasingly onerous tax/legislative changes (increased stamp duty and loss of

tax relief) landlords being more particular and are less willing to pay asking prices and offering below market value

• The “tightening” of required rental interest cover by mortgage lenders is having an impact especially those landlords with high levels of gearing although the continued availability of extremely low 2, 3, 5 and 10 year fixed rates continues to offset this.

• Recent announcement of the potential banning of Section 21 notices may well lead to longer, open ended tenancies something the government appears very keen to introduce

BUILD TO RENT (BTR)

During the last quarter we have seen the following announcements which continue to highlight Liverpool as being one of the more active BTR cities outside of London.

• Brickland/Heitman deal – Construction progressing extremely well

• Construction progressing very well on The Lexington (Moda/BCEGI) and Strand House (Panacea/Invesco/Graham’s).

• Construction on Plaza 1821 (Peel/Regenda/Vermont) progresses well after the administration of the previous contractor (Forrest).

• Heaps Mill/One Park Lane bought back by Elliott Group in JV with Valorem from Inhabit having previously sold the scheme to them. Probably BTR elements of the scheme although lower than previously assumed due to hotel deals announced.

• We await news on the proposed third Princes Dock tower “The Hive” by Your Housing.

GENERAL

• Although the Bank of England continued to maintain the base rate at 0.75% throughout the third quarter of the year there has been a continued and marked shift downwards in overall mortgage rates. This has been caused by lenders continuing to lower rates to be more competitive as well as lowering of expectations on the future direction of base rates overall. Some of the drops have been substantial falling by around 15%. We are now close to all time low rates such as the 5 year 1.54% from Natwest

BUY to LET

• Buy to let rates mirrored the movement in general mortgage rates with both shorter- longer-term rates falling as lenders chased business from both new and existing landlords. Some of the falls have been substantial with Buy to Let rates now not that far behind the rates being offered on normal mortgages

“Is this the end of Fractional Sales?” What are Fractional Sales? Fractional sales (or buyer funded deposits) have been utilised heavily across the UK (but particularly in northern UK cities) over the last 5 years. They are essentially an off plan sale of a new build property to an investor who pays more than the standard 10% deposit on exchange. In many cases the buyer has been paying up to 50% on exchanged and more than often another 25% before completion. Hence the other term of buyer funded deposits. Fractional sales are also normally associated with “guaranteed yields” where many developers have been offering guaranteed income/rents often in excess of what is considered open market levels.

Why have so many sales been of the fractional sales type? Developers have seized on the attractiveness of selling schemes using fractional sales as this has helped them develop more units/schemes than through a more traditional funding model. Where they are collecting between 50-75% before completion they are in effect using the buyer’s money to fund the construction of the development. The serious lack of traditional bank funding for residential developments has logically forced many more developers down this route.

So what has gone wrong? We have discussed the issue over stalled schemes in the city (North Point Global, Pinnacle Alliance etc) many times and the majority of these were initially financed using fractional sales. The problem with such schemes is that when they went bust they did so with many buyers having already paid between 50-75% of the purchase price rather than the more traditional 10%. Whilst losing 10% of the purchase prices would have been a bitter pill to swallow for most investors losing between 50-75% can in many cases be devastational especially where it was the investor’s only UK investment.

Are there any other issues/challenges regarding fractional sales? Whilst not definitively linked many fractional sales schemes have been sold with the “benefit” of a guaranteed yield by the developer. Often these guaranteed yields have been offered for a period of 3-5 years at levels of between 7-10%. This has appeared extremely attractive to overseas buyers who have viewed the returns as an additional bonus to any capital growth they may experience during that period. Unfortunately with the vast majority of these sales the quoted yields have been in excess of what is genuinely achievable and have resulted in returns lower than anticipated. Although these investors did at least get the property they had paid for (unlike those in the stalled schemes), disappointing returns have continued to erode confidence in the sector. .

What about the future for Fractional Sales? Over the last 12 months there is no doubt that the use of the fractional sales model has been on the wane. Although Liverpool has suffered a much higher percentage of stalled/problem sites than other UK Cities the model has started to struggle across the board. Investors have become more risk aware than in the past and are looking for those developers where there is a track record of delivery and schemes that are well located and honestly marketed. Although the issues discussed above would suggest that it has become almost impossible to sell off plan property to investors this is not the case. There are numerous developers selling off plan in the city that are selling on a more traditional 10% deposit on exchange (or sometimes up to 20%) and delivering the product in a timely and professional manner. There is still a good strong demand for Liverpool property from both overseas and UK investors but the focus of these buyers will be those developers who can afford to fund schemes with more normal deposits and deliver on their promises.

Summary Brexit continues to dominate the national news and with the deadline of 31st October quickly approaching we will no doubt know in the next few weeks whether we are leaving with or without a deal or perhaps whether we are leaving or not! We continue to highlight that the sales market in the city appears to have become rather immune to the macro picture and performs in line with our expectations. While transaction levels are definitely not booming there appears to be a decent level of buyers and sellers looking to do deals at prices that genuinely reflect the true worth of the asset in question. As is typical for this time of year we have just experienced the annual return of students to the city for the start of the 2019/2020 academic year. Whilst activity levels have been high as usual we can’t help but feel the increased supply of nearly 3,000 student beds and around 1,000 residential units have definitely had an effect on the market. Whilst there are increasing numbers of students and normal residential tenants the increased supply has definitely allowed them to be more particular with what they consider as their homes for the next 9/12 months and beyond. As with most property based decisions it is those well located, decent quality and well managed developments that have prospered whilst the opposite (poorly located, older, badly managed) that have been hit hard. On a slightly less business focused note we are delighted to announce that a team of eight intrepid trekkers have just returned from our trip to Kilimanjaro on behalf of Claire House where we were lucky enough to summit Africa’s highest mountain and the largest freestanding mountain in the world!! Whilst a rewarding trip it was extremely tough especially the six long cold nights living in a tent with constant migraine style headaches! A big thank you to all of you that supported us (we are now over £26,000) and for anyone who has not yet had chance to we would be delighted if you could by using the link below: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/alan-bevan2 Alan Bevan Managing Director City Residential October 2019 0151 231 6100 07970 498187 [email protected] www.cityresidential.co.uk NEXT ISSUE: January 2020

OUR CHOSEN CHARITY

City Residential, Liverpool’s leading city centre residential agent have reinforced their long term support for Claire House Children’s Hospice by agreeing to a once a year donation based upon their annual operating profit. Their commitment, that will last indefinitely, sees the firm donate 1% of their pre-tax profits to the Wirral based charity every year. Their first donation saw them presenting a cheque in early 2015 for £3,812.50 to Helen Carlson at Claire House with subsequent donations in 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 totalling well over £15,000

The ongoing donation from City Residential comes at an important time for Claire House with them having just launched a Liverpool base at a former monastery on Honey’s Green Lane in West Debry. Whilst initially the site – a former will offer day-care services, counselling and complementary therapies, as well as hosting the mums, tots and babies groups. The new hospice is in addition to the current Claire House

Children’s Hospice adjacent to Clatterbridge Hospital, which is already at capacity and difficult to reach for many parents. More than half of the children who use it come from the Liverpool side of the Mersey.

“We have supported Claire House for over 10 years and this long term commitment is the least that we can offer a charity that does such wonderful work in looking after children from all areas of The Northwest” commented Kerry Rogerson-Bevan director of City Residential “Although there are other children’s hospice’s across the UK Claire House is our local children’s hospice and their passion and long term

commitment in providing care to children with life limiting life threatening illnesses is second to none and deserves all of our support” In September/October 2019 we were part of a team that scaled the might Kilimanjaro for Clare House. Together with trekkers from Bruntwood, Box Clever, Urban Splash, K2 architects and BAE Systems we raised well over £26,000 by taking the Lemosho route to the peak which stands at nearly 6,000m. The trek was organised by 360 Expeditions one of the UK’s market leaders in trekking and mountaineering trips around the globe. The trip was headed up by Keith White of 360 on his 2nd trip to climb Africa’s highest mountain and the highest freestanding mountain in the world. We were blessed with good weather throughout the tip but it was still an extremely difficult challenge which we were all glad to have conquered.
