• Surveyors: “We’re fl at out carrying out mortgage valuations, not seen this for several years”

• London agent: “Last year’s activity was crazy, this year’s is ridiculous”

Drewery are delighted to report on the success of their telephone lines being open longer.

Since April this year Drewery have extended their telephone lines to be open from 8.30am in the morning until

8pm in the evening Monday to Friday allowing the public to contact the company before or after work. Telephone lines have also been extended on Sunday.

Paul Long, Director of Drewery Property Consultants commented “Our telephone lines are now open longer than most local agents and allow the public to contact us at a time that is best for them - before or after work. The extended hours ensure that no leads are

lost and that anyone who is interested in one of our properties can contact us to arrange a viewing or discuss a property further. In a very busy world people now expect professional companies to be contactable at all different times and not just the old 9-5 it used to be”

Instruct Drewery to sell or let your property and benefi t from our late telephone lines and ensure your property receives Maximum Exposure.

Drewery continue to be at the forefront of technology and marketing ideas for the local property market.

For further information on this service please call our Sales Team on 020 8300 6761 or our Lettings Team on020 8269 6600.

We are favoured with instructions to offer for sale this 3 bedroom period semi detached house occupying a corner plot at the junction of The Green and Grassington Road and opposite St John`s Church. The property is within “The Green” conservation area and is ideally located for access to amenities including High Street, bus routes, schools, main roads and station.

This property represents, we feel, a unique opportunity to purchase a period property with an abundance of period features which the present owner has improved substantially over recent years, yet still has potential, subject to the usual permissions, for further development.

The centrally heated accommodation briefl y comprises: entrance porch, entrance hall, bay fronted lounge and well fi tted open plan kitchen/dining area to the ground fl oor. To the fi rst fl oor is the spacious landing, 3 bedrooms and refurbished bathroom with traditional suite and claw foot bath. Externally there are gardens to the three sides and parking to the rear with access via Grassington Road. Period features include ceiling cornicing, high ceilings, fi replaces and stripped fl ooring, all making this a very desirable home.

Unique properties such as this rarely become available. We would strongly recommend early internal viewing to appreciate the many fi ne features on offer here. (ref 3176).

We are pleased to have been instructed as sole agents to market this charming 3 bedroom detached house. The property is set back from the road and is located within easy access of local train stations, shops and bus routes. The property also offers access to some of the boroughs sought after schools and in our opinion would make an ideal family home.

The accommodation briefl y comprises: entrance hall, 22`9 x 11 through lounge and kitchen leading to utility room. To the fi rst fl oor are 3 bedrooms and a family bathroom. Externally the property features a large lawned rear garden, front garden, off street parking and garage.

Charming detached properties such as this are rare to the market so we would advise your earliest appointment to avoid missing out.

Homeowners urged to get their house in order before selling

The Government is reviewing legislation to tackle bad debt in the water industry, which is created mostly by tenants. In order to lower bills they propose that the liability for unpaid bills istransferred to landlords, unless they or their agent have supplied the required information to the water company.

Most water debtors are tenants and the bad debt in the water industry currently adds an average of £15 to every water customer’s bill.

In an attempt to deal with this issue, section 45 of the Flood and Water Management Act 2010 provides that landlords will be liable for water charges if they do not pass the details of their tenants to water companies.

However this part of the Act is not yet in force. The Government has completed the Consultation process but not published the fi ndings. We understand that the Consultation produced “divided responses” and the Government “willcontinue to work with all parties to support the development of the existing voluntary approach, whilst weighing the costs and benefi ts associated with regulation for all parties”.

“We are consulting on draft Regulations. However, we know that this measure will put a small burden on landlords of having to provide the details. We are therefore also consulting on an alternative, non-regulatory approach to tackling bad debt. This is a voluntary scheme where Government would ask landlords and other holders of data on occupancy to share information with water companies.”

If enacted, this means that landlords who fail to notify the relevant water companies of a tenant’s details will be jointly and severally liable with their tenants for overdue and outstanding water charges.

In the meantime we recommend that all landlords and trustees notify the relevant water company in writing when a tenant moves in and when a tenant vacates. The notifi cations shouldinclude all of the tenant’s names, dates, any meter readings and forwarding addresses where possible. Keep a copy of letters/emails sent.

Landlords could become liable for tenant’s water bills

The latest statistics from the National Association of Estate Agents (NAEA) indicate that competition in the housing sales market is increasing. In March, the number of homes for sale rose while the number of house hunters fell overall.*

Mark Hayward, President of the NAEA said:“The housing market remains volatile, despite the raft of measures announced by the Government in the most recent Budget. For this reason home sellers may rightly be concerned about securing a good price for their property. “With demand remaining fl at and competition rising, it is essential that sellers make the most of their property to ensure they have the best possible chance of securing a sale.”

To help potential sellers make the most of their homes the NAEA has the following tips:

Seek an accurate valuation: With competition on the increase, it is crucial to ensure that the valuation placed on your home is competitive in current market conditions. As well as potentially decreasing the chance of selling your home, an infl ated asking price may result in mortgage providers refusing fi nance for would-be buyers if they believe the valuation is not realistic.

Energy effi ciency: As heating costs rise, many households are making their homes’ energy effi ciency a priority. Despite the return of warmer weather, some buyers may use an Energy Performance Certifi cate (EPC) as a bargaining tool when looking to negotiate down the price of a property. Taking simple steps such as installing draft excluders or improving the roof or boiler insulation are a few simple ways of improving

energy effi ciency before a sale.

Show off your property’s best bits: In NAEA members’ experience, it is regularly the smaller and often overlooked factors which actually help secure a sale. Often clearing up clutter is one of the best ways of increasing the saleability of your home. Making sure that the garden is well presented and redecorating are also factors which are likely to improve the attractiveness of your home to would-be buyers.

Refresh, review and repair: If necessary, re-paint key rooms like the lounge and kitchen. Neutral decor generally appeals to buyers as they can project their own vision for the property on to this ‘blank canvas’. Cleaning marks from worn walls, re-grouting bathroom surfaces and replacing any broken fi xtures can really help to perk up a property.

It is also worth taking the time to ensure things like door bells and light bulbs function as they should. If you have a viewing in the evening, think carefully about how best to light each room - while natural light is usually a good thing, too much artifi cial lighting can seem stark.

Choose the professionals: When deciding on the estate agent to sell your home always use an NAEA member, who will be able to provide the knowledge and professionalism required to give you peace of mind throughout the sale process. All members are also signed up to the NAEA’s client money protection scheme.
