// The North London Network

June 2012 was an important month for Simon Gerrard, Managing Director of Martyn Gerrard Estate Agents. On 14th June his wife gave birth to their third son and on Friday 15th Simon was

honoured to be elected as Vice President of the National Association of Estate Agents.

The NAEA is recognised as the UK’s leading body representing the estate agency profession. Membership of the Association is only possible through formal qualification. The NAEA membership requires new members to have passed the independently examined Technical Award which consists of 4 modules (i) Security and General Law, (ii) Law relating to the Sale of Property, (iii) Best Practice relating to Residential Sales and (iv) Property Appraisal and Basic Building Construction. NAEA member agents therefore have the knowledge and expertise to guide you through your property transaction as smoothly and painlessly as possible. They operate under strict rules of conduct and must meet certain standards of ethical practice.

Simon strongly believes that when buying or selling

a property, which is likely to represent most families’

greatest single investment, the public should be able

to rely upon their agent to be properly qualified. Many

believe that all estate agents are qualified and licensed,

this is unfortunately not the case, and there is nothing

to stop someone being a butcher one day and opening

as an estate agent the next! You wouldn’t go to an

unqualified dentist so why trust the sale of possibly

your largest asset to an unqualified estate agent?

For the greatest protection you should use a “Licensed Agent” which means that not only is the owner qualified but that there is a qualified NAEA Member located at each branch of that company.

In his role as Vice President Simon Gerrard brings experience, enthusiasm and a passion for property. He feels that it is essential for compulsory licensing

of all estate agents to be introduced to ensure that the public are protected and can be guaranteed a level of service and professionalism.

Martyn Gerrard Estate Agents are committed to raising professional standards which is why we expect and

financially support all our staff in their study and training, so that they obtain the Technical Award in Sales or Lettings and then become members of the NAEA or ARLA.

You can be sure you are dealing with an experienced and professional agency, by choosing a licensed NAEA member firm.

Market Comment

SALES

As we head into summer and the sun has at last made an appearance (for now!) the property market in our area of North and North West London continues to perform above expectations.

I have recently seen in the media, stories saying that late spring and early summer were quieter than normal. With many estate agents reporting a reduction in the number of sales they had agreed. I am pleased to report that Martyn Gerrard Estate Agents have bucked this trend and we saw record months in May, June and July for the number of sales we have agreed and the prices we have achieved for our vendors.

The year started with a rise in the number of serious buyers registering with us, and this has continued into the summer months, even during the Jubilee celebrations when everyone thought the market would be much quieter.

I am pleased to report that the first time buyer market remains strong with a quarter of buyers registering with us looking for their first home. However the greatest demand is for family houses. The total buying power of those registered with us is over £850m and the lack of property coming onto the market means that many of those who do choose to sell now will command a premium price.

LETTINGSAs you will see in this edition of the Property Review the letting market is also performing well. New property

that comes to the market is letting quickly and all our branches are receiving enquiries from tenants wanting to live in our area. It is clear that prospective tenants are prepared to pay top prices provided the property is of a good enough standard. If you are a landlord or are thinking about entering the buy to let market, any of our ARLA qualified letting staff will be happy to advise on the type of property and the standard of decoration and fittings that will achieve the best rent.

MARTYN GERRARD ESTATE AGENTS – Working even harder to sell and let your home

At Martyn Gerrard we understand the importance of

ensuring your property receives the biggest impact

when it comes to the market and is seen by as wide an

audience as possible, this is why we are increasing our

spend on our internet presence and

online marketing.

This is in addition to our professionally

filmed high quality HD video

presentations of the properties we are

selling. We are the only agent in your

area doing this and it greatly enhances

our ability to achieve the best price in

as quick a time as possible.

Over the next few weeks we are opening a new branch

and you will see a number of exciting innovations and

changes that we are bringing to Martyn Gerrard Estate

Agents each aimed at improving our service and making

us the agent of choice for home sellers across North &

North West London – but more about that in the next

edition of our Property Review in September/October.

Simon Gerrard

MNAEA, MARLA

Managing Director

We saw record months in May, June and July for the number of sales we have

agreed and the prices we have achieved

for our vendors.

Lettings Managers Comments

With a dedicated letting department licensed by the Association of Residential Letting

Agents (ARLA) in each of our branches we are continuing to see a good demand

for properties to rent. As rents have risen many people are seeing this as a good

opportunity to either add to their portfolio or to become a landlord.

When looking to buy a property to rent out that

well known property adage still applies – Location,

Location, Location.

Buy wisely in an area that is close to transport links and

good local schools and it should prove to be a good long

term investment. You should also identify your target

market. Are you aiming at professionals, couples, groups

or students, as this will dictate the type of property

you’re looking for and remember tenants don’t always

have the same needs or requirements as buyers.

Good sized flats and houses in the catchment area of

popular schools will always be in demand while 1 and 2

bedroom flats close to town centres and transport links

will be popular with both couples and sharers.

Our staff are fully aware of the demand in their areas and

are happy to give advice on the best type of property to buy.

We are able to offer a flexible range of lettings packages

to suit all our landlords’ needs from Let Only, Let and Rent

collection and legal back up, while our Comprehensive

Management service is designed to give you peace of

mind by knowing your property is in safe hands. For more

information please call your nearest Martyn Gerrard

letting office.

The latest news on the letting market in your area……..

Whetstone & Barnet –

Ken Popat MARLA:

We are seeing more property coming

onto the market particularly family

homes for which we have a big demand

especially those close to popular local

schools in Whetstone and High Barnet.

There is a shortage of 1 and 2 bedroom flats.

North Finchley & Woodside Park –

Julian Jacobs MARLA:

We’re having a very busy year and are

50% up on last year’s business. For good

quality properties, rent is continuing to

rise. There is a notable shift towards

the house market and demand is very

strong. For example we took on a 4 bedroom house on

Gainsborough Road which rented for the asking price on

the first day of viewings.

Relax

At Martyn Gerrard, we want our rental property owners to enjoy peace of mind, wherever you are.

We are so confi dent about the quality

of our management service that if you

are not 100% satisfi ed after your fi rst

Finchley Central –

Anthony Cooper MARLA:

Although enquiry is down demand

continues to outstrip supply at all levels

of the market. 1 and 2 bedroom flats

are letting well, while larger quality

homes are achieving excellent prices.

We recently rented a 4 bedroom house in Church End for

in excess of £1000 per week.

Mill Hill & Edgware –

Jatin Shah MARLA:

More potential tenants are registering

with us than ever before and we

have just had our best month ever. 3

bedroom houses are most sought after,

while 1 and 2 bedroom flats around

the Broadway and Mill Hill East station are achieving

good rents.

East Finchley & Hampstead Garden

Suburb – Greg Tsuman MARLA:

Because of the tube, these areas remain

as popular as ever with tenants. The

amount of good quality property coming

to the market to suit families, young

professionals and sharers continues to

be outweighed by supply, which means we are achieving

excellent rents for our landlords.

Muswell Hill & Alexandra Palace

Andy Christophi MARLA:

The Muswell Hill office has been very

busy. Tenants are more demanding than

ever and we are seeing good quality

property moving quickly at excellent

rent levels. A number of properties

which we have let in the past have now been sold which

has led to a shortage of large family homes, especially

those close to the local schools.

Crouch End & Highgate –

Anthony Spittle MARLA:

Crouch End remains popular with

young professionals 1 and 2 bedroom

flats in period conversions usually

receive multiple bids which means we

are able to secure better prices and

longer tenancies for our landlords. Family size houses

command a great premium as owners have brought

them to live in rather than to rent out.

Kentish Town & Dartmouth Park –

Jason O’Connell MARLA:

These areas offer such a diverse range

of property sizes and styles and we are

very active in all price ranges with a great

number of serious tenants registering

with us. As long as landlords don’t over

reach on the value of their property then property is

moving quickly to good tenants at good rents. The right

advice is essential.

Relax

At Martyn Gerrard, we want our rental property owners to enjoy peace of mind, wherever you are.

We are so confi dent about the quality

of our management service that if you

Happy Birthday Martyn Gerrard Estate Agents

Monday 25th May 1964 was the

day Martyn Gerrard opened the

doors to his first office at 1392

High Road, Whetstone. 48 years later the

company has grown to be one of the most

respected independent estate agencies in

North London, renowned for embracing

the latest technology, while continuing to

uphold the company’s original key values

of providing a professional and personal

service to all our clients and customers.

First office in 1964

Balloon Races

We were delighted to be

asked to support two

balloon races, the first

for Martin School, East Finchley, the

second for Goodwyns School in Mill

Hill. We provided hundreds of specially

printed bio-degradable balloons and

the helium to make them fly. Each one

was individually tagged and had the

schools contact details. So far there

are reports of the balloons being found

as far away as Germany and Austria.

It’s been a very busy time for Martyn Gerrard Estate Agents………….

It’s been a very busy time for Martyn Gerrard Estate Agents………….

The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee

As a local agent we know it’s important

to be part of the community we live and

work in, so we were delighted to sponsor

a number of local street parties celebrating

the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. Grove Avenue

in Muswell Hill, Eton Avenue and Fallow Court

Avenue in North Finchley and Dollis Park in

Finchley Central each held a party over the Bank

Holiday weekend.

Martyn Gerrard gave money towards the costs

of each party. For the Grove Avenue street party

we also provided the bouncy castle, which was

very popular with all the younger residents in

the street. Our Muswell Hill office Manager Chris

Kyriacou was involved with the Tug of War, and

our Managing Director, Simon Gerrard got stuck

in helping with the face painting. The weather

played its part and stayed generally dry and sunny

making the afternoon a fantastic success.

The Crouch End Festival

The Crouch End Festival ran for 2 weeks from 4th May. In all there

were over 170 separate events in over 60 venues. These included

music, dance, art and photography exhibitions, film, workshops

for children and a craft fair. A stage outside Hornsey Town Hall

on Saturday 5th May, where our East Finchley Branch Manager,

Mark Stern, performed with his band ‘Mixed Company’.

The festival organisers were delighted to have our support.

We have been in Crouch End many years, so we had no

hesitation in providing sponsorship when it was requested.

Discussions are already underway for a bigger and better

festival in 2013 and we have already confirmed our support.

September Sales

So you’ve decided to sell your home but here’s the big question, how can you make it stand out from the crowd so that it sells quickly and for the best price? Well, probably the first step is to choose an estate agent like Martyn Gerrard who use the latest marketing techniques to promote your home

in the most professional and eye catching way.

WHEN TO SELL

We all know that late summer, once the holidays are over,

is traditionally a time when many sellers put their home

on the market, but what about putting it on the market

now and avoid the crowds? Buyers don’t just disappear

because it’s the summer, and by going up for sale now

you can capitalise on the fact that every potential buyer

is more likely to be serious.

AN AGENT YOU CAN TRUST

If you’re thinking of selling your house or flat, then

you must contact an agent who has experience in the

property market and is licensed or regulated by one of

the professional bodies.

Martyn Gerrard Estate Agents have been selling and

letting property across North London for more than

48 years.

We are members of the TPO (The Property Ombudsman),

licensed members of the NAEA (National Association

of Estate Agents) and are regulated by the RICS (Royal

Institution of Chartered Surveyors) Each has strict rules

of conduct, so you know that you can trust our advice

whether it’s to do with pricing your home or any other

aspect of the house buying and selling process

THE PRICE IS RIGHT

Once you have chosen your estate agents, setting the

right price is perhaps the most important aspect of

marketing your property. It’s always tempting to price

it high and see what offers come in, but buyers have far

more knowledge and are able to easily compare prices so

it’s more important than ever to price it right.

An incorrect price at the outset will mean that your home

could linger unnecessarily as buyer activity will be greater

when you first put your home on the market. If the price

is too high, potential buyers just won’t look at it and you

will be wasting valuable time. So, take advice from your

agent, who is much more aware of the market and will

undoubtedly know what’s selling and at what price.

MAKE SURE YOU HOME IS SEEN

Once a marketing price has been agreed it’s important

for your home to be seen by as wide an audience as

possible. As one of the most recognised names in

North London property, Martyn Gerrard Estate Agents

receives hundreds of enquiries a week from prospective

buyers. The most suitable buyers on our database are

contacted immediately. A full description, floor-plans

and photos are posted onto our website (which has had

more than 13 million page hits so far this year!) and

onto the top property search websites. An HD quality

video of your home can also be produced to enhance

the presentation of your home.

We will organise and accompany all viewings and where

appropriate we can hold an ‘open house’ which can really

stimulate interest in your home.

For more information on how Martyn Gerrard can help

you move this summer please call your nearest office or

go to www.martyngerrard.co.uk

When You Are Ready To Sell...

The decision has been made, and the time has come to put your property on the market....

What do you do now? For many the next steps can seem daunting, but at Martyn Gerrard Estate Agents we are on hand to help guide you through each stage. We have previously talked about how to prepare and present your home for marketing, but here are some other matters you need to consider.

Independent Financial Advice The first thing you should do is consider how you are going to finance your purchase.

If you are going to need a mortgage, our approved independent financial advisors can help identify the mortgage best suited to your circumstances and will assist you through the lenders application form and follow up the application on your behalf. Instructing a SolicitorIf you do not already have a solicitor to carry out the Conveyancing for you, we can help by recommending good solicitors in your area. You could also go on line and check the Law Society website to find a suitable solicitor.

Instructing a solicitor at this stage will enable you to get the required paper work and forms completed in your own time. These will include: the property information form, fixtures and fittings form and Leasehold information form (if applicable).

Your solicitor will need details of any guarantees for works you have had done to the property such as re-wiring or damp courses and if you have had any building work done, copies of relevant planning documents may be needed. They will also need to know who the lender is if the property is mortgaged.

The more details that can be gathered at this early stage, the quicker the necessary information and documents can be provided to the other side’s solicitors once a buyer has been found.

As soon as a buyer is found your chosen solicitor will send all the documentation onto your buyer’s solicitor.

They will make enquiries and raise questions based on the local searches and the information that has been supplied to them.

Your buyer and/or their lender will require a survey to

be carried out on your property. The time it will take to

carry out the survey will obviously depend on the size

of your property and also the type of survey your buyer

has requested.

Removals You will need to find a reputable removal firm. We can

provide details of local companies or you can check the

British Association of Removers (BAR) website. Make sure

that the removal firm you do select has comprehensive

insurance cover against damage or loss of your goods

and confirm your specific requirements. Once you have

been given your fixed completion date contact your

removal company and start packing.

Exchange of Contracts Once your buyer’s solicitor is satisfied with the answers

and information they have been given, they will approve

the Contract and a date for Completion will be agreed

between you and your buyer.

Your solicitor will invite you in to their office to go over

the documents and to sign the contract. Exchange of

Contracts will take place, usually by way of a telephone

call between both solicitors.

Completion DayOnce all the legal paperwork has been finished and both

solicitors have confirmed that everything is in place, the

balance of the money will be electronically transferred

from the buyer’s solicitor to your solicitor and legal

completion will have taken place. This usually happens

early in the afternoon.

If we are holding the keys we will give them to the buyer,

only when we have confirmation from your solicitor that

completion has taken place.

Commercial

In our last edition we featured the ‘Mary Portas 28 point plan’ for saving Britain’s High Streets.....

It’s been widely reported how much

the UK’s High Streets have suffered

over the last few years both from a

decrease in potential tenants looking to take premises

and the disappearance of major names such as Game,

Woolworths and La Senza.

However, at Martyn Gerrard Commercial, over the

past year we have seen an increase in the number of

transactions we are handling on our local High Streets.

We are continuing to receive a healthy number of

enquiries for High Street premises

from potential tenants including from

established multiple retailers who want

to return, or extend their coverage, to

the affluent areas of North and North

West London that we cover.

With a number of empty units on the

High Street, competitive pricing and

effective marketing is vital. But not

only is it important to ensure that a shop is marketed

at the correct price, the ability to move speedily when

a potential tenant is found is key. This makes it more

important than ever to instruct a proactive solicitor

who will ensure that incoming tenants are provided

with required information as quickly as possible while

taking a commercial view in line with their client’s aims

and instructions.

Another area that continues to generate a high level of

interest from buyers is for FREEHOLD “shops with upper

parts”. We have a number of individuals and companies

who are looking to expand their property portfolio to

include a mixed use investment with both residential and

commercial property in one building.

There is particular interest in these properties where either

the residential parts may be suitable for development to

enhance value, such as by rearranging the layout to make

two flats from one, or where the commercial unit is let

to a multiple retailer with a recognised

name, which is normally able to justify

higher prices and in turn makes for a

better investment.

Martyn Gerrard Commercial

Department uses its intimate

knowledge of the local market to advise

our clients and help them achieve the

best price with the least disruption

and fuss. Then by bringing our experience to bear and

effectively liaising between both sides and their legal

representatives, we can help guide a transaction to a

speedy and successful conclusion.

If you are looking to dispose of a shop and upper part or

have premises on one of our High Streets you are thinking of

selling please call our commercial team on 020 8444 3445.
