2013 was another interesting year in the Hampshire property market. It started off slowly as we took a long time to shake off the winter. As a consequence the market was later than normal, which resulted in one of the busiest summers we can remember, ironically helped by the good weather. It is not just economics that drive the country house market!

The London market has been in its own bubble but through our network of offices in London we have begun to see the return of these buyers who now wish to make a move. Not all are selling their houses and have been able to take advantage of some wonderful mortgage deals arranged for them by Knight Frank Finance, thus enabling them to buy and our clients to sell.

Throughout 2013 30% of our buyers originated from London, while 43% came from the Home Counties, 22% from the rest of the UK and 5% from overseas. It remains critical therefore to use an agent who can cover the market. Just putting a house on the internet is simply not enough.

Furthermore, when looking back over a year, it is always surprising to see that some of the most successful sales take place early in the year. Buyers frequently decide to move before the majority of houses come to the market and it is therefore worth considering selling earlier than one may have thought.

Autumn was the busiest we have seen for a long time and continued into November and December and we expect it to start early in 2014 as well. This, combined with a General Election in 2015, would mean we would strongly recommend action earlier rather than later.

MEET THE TEAM

In October, Knight Frank had its first national Day of Giving, with a number of activities taking place from the bizarre to the exhausting. The net result was that on one day we managed to raise in excess of £100,000 for five charities, including Kids Company and Land Aid. A real testament to all who took part.

Our offices in, or covering part of, Hampshire had a busy year with new buyers and the supply of houses up by 11%. With offices in Winchester, Basingstoke, Hungerford and Haslemere covering the whole county, our many years of experience and our local and national knowledge, we are ideally placed to help so please call. We would love to hear from you.

T he diverging fortunes of the prime London property market when compared with the country house market is helping to fuel a steady exodus from the capital to the countryside. For many, the meteoric rise in the value of their

London home in recent years is providing the perfect springboard to greener pastures.

From Hampshire to Worcestershire, Sussex to Scotland, buyers are seeing the proceeds of their London sale go further than ever before, with grand country houses proving an irresistible draw. They are being joined by international buyers too, who are discovering the UK’s rural charm and have been leading the bidding on some of the country’s biggest estate sales recently.

The lifestyle benefits are one of the key attractions – the opportunity to swap the constant hum of traffic and a coffee shop on every corner for the sound of cockerels and an orchard in the garden. As well as the idyllic country property and grounds, there’s also the landscape on your doorstep.

Add to this a plethora of good schools, an enviable work-life balance and great food (85 of the UK’s 158 Michelin-starred restaurants are located outside of London), and it’s easy to see why so many purchasers are actively looking for their next home beyond the capital.

Technology improvements including fast, reliable internet means working from home is a viable option. This means that those leaving London can choose to retain their work links with the capital while cutting down on their commuting time and costs. Pick the right location, and you can even find that your train to the office is quicker than commuting from Fulham or Chelsea.

The move to the country can also create new forms of income. Larger properties and more land open up the possibility to do anything from renting out holiday cottages to growing your own vegetables.

Whether you are looking for a country property or are considering selling, good local advice is vital. Here in Hampshire, we find that a great many deals are concluded off market, or depend on buyers being able to move fast to secure the most desirable properties. If this is of interest, our team would be delighted to tell you more.
