Adaptable new houses

Newest show homes set to open doorsSHOW homes will be launched this weekend at the new Crest Nicholson development at The Furlongs, Roman Road, Hereford. The public are invited to go along, 10am to 4pm, and enjoy a glass of bubbly and a bite whilst looking around the expertly built and beautifully designed show homes. Visitors to the show homes will also be lucky enough to pick up a free taster to the nearby Haven health spa at Above: The Mayfair (left) and The Marlborough house types at The Furlongs. Holmer Park. The show homes will demonstrate how the space room Marlborough can be the floor plans from the them to envisage what the afforded by the five-bed- utilised. For some people page and into something property would be like if it room Mayfair and four-bed- seeing inside will help lift more tangible, enabling were their own. Set out over three floors, the Mayfair is a prime example of how three storey town houses, which were popular in the Victorian era, are perfectly suited to modern family living. Homes set out over three floors offer an added dimension to your living arrangements and can be easily adapted to suit your circumstances, says Amanda Benjamin, sales manager for Crest Nicholson. For example, those who perhaps dont need all five bedrooms in the Mayfair could choose to adapt one as home office. Teenagers crave independence and privacy and to give them their own space you might want to consider letting them use one of the rooms on the top floor as a bedroom and the other as a TV lounge or games room, plus with a separate shower room up there to complement the family bathroom and ensuite master bedroom therell be no queuing for the bathroom in the mornings. Located between Attwood Lane and Munstone Road, the Furlongs will offer a choice of two-bedroomed coach house-style apartments and three, four and five-bedroomed homes. The selection of properties means that there will be something to meet the needs of a broad cross section of buyers, including those looking for their very first home through to families. The site has already been well received by Hereford househunters with 10 properties sold even before the show homes opened. Selling agent Andrew Morris said: One of the advantages that Crest Nicholson have offered at The Furlongs is the opportunity for a interested purchaser to part exchange their existing house against a new Crest Nicholson house and this has proved very successful in the first and second phases of the launch of the new development at The Furlongs. We have made recommendations to the developer to take certain properties in part exchange where an open market value has been paid by Crest to the purchaser of one of the new Crest houses for their own property.

Deposit funding scheme

Chancellors budget help gets people onto ladderCHANCELLOR George Osbornes budget claims to have tackled the re-balancing of the economy but what does it mean for home owners and property market in general? The main news is for first time buyers who are to be helped on to the housing ladder with the offer of a 20 per cent loan on the price of a new build with a five per cent deposit. This is an important step by the Government to help stimulate the lower end of the property market which, in the past few years, has slowed almost to a stop. Joint buyers with a combined income of less that 60,000 will be entitled to receive this loan with no payback due until the sixth year when rates will start at 1.75 per cent, rising each year thereafter by one per cent over inflation. This initiative will be welcomed by the housebuilding industry which will promote the opportunity to new market entrants. These buyers will benefit from the ability, effectively, to fund a 25 per cent deposit and secure a 75 per cent mortgage, borrowing at rates significantly below those available where higher loan-to-values are involved. Any improvement at the bottom of the market will feed through to the higher levels and facilitate a higher rate of turnover generally, which will benefit people who have been considering a move. Mark Wiggin at Strutt

First residents arriveTHE first new residents of the Ryelands Court development in Leominster were given a warm welcome into their new home by Gavin and Jonathan from Jonathan Wright Estate Agents. A Mr and Mrs Dovey sold their bungalow through Jonathan Wright Estate Agents just before buying one of the brand new apartments in Ryelands Court. As they are the first to complete their sale and move into the new complex, they were greeted by Gavin and Jonathan Wright and presented with flowers and champagne. Right: Gavin Wright presenting champagne and flowers to Mr and Mrs Dovey.

Above: George Osbornes initiative to help with homebuyers deposits has been broadly welcomed by the housebuilding industry. and Parker said: Fixed rate alternatives may well prove a more attractive option to first time buyers under the proposed scheme on the 75 per cent mortgage element. That said, buyers at any level need to consider a likely increase in interest rates generally over the next two years and their ability to cover increased mortgage costs. We may well see more properties coming to the market and this in turn may squeeze values as supply threatens to outstrip demand.

Qualified service

Licensed to help buyers and sellersJONATHAN Wright Estate Agents is proud to have received its licence from the National Association of Estate Agents (NAEA). A licenced estate agency branch means consumers are guaranteed that at least one agent within that branch is qualified in residential property sales, either through a formal qualification or through length of membership of the NAEA. This qualification requirement is unique to NAEA licensed estate agents the only licence of its kind in the UK property industry. At its launch in the House of Commons in November, the licensing scheme was given the backing of housing minister Grant Shapps and shadow minister Alison Seabeck. Mr Shapps said: By ensuring they enjoy the trust of people buying and selling homes, estate agents will inject greater confidence and movement in the housing market. In future anyone looking to buy a home or sell theirs should ask the simple question of their estate agents: Are you whom they will get the best service when marketing their property. No-one would knowingly use an unlicensed taxi driver. Neither should they use an unlicensed estate agent. In a difficult economic time it is important for anyone placing a home on the market to use a professional, knowledgeable agent. NAEA members know their local area and know their local market. That is very important to consumers. The new licence will also guarantee the agency is covered by required amounts of professional indemnity insurance. They will also undertake 12 hours of continuing professional development every year, commit to keeping up to date with industry developments and be bound by the NAEAs rules of conduct. The NAEA represents around one in three estate agents in the UK. It aims to get as many members as possible licensed by June 2011. All of its members can be found by visiting naea.co.uk.

licensed by the NAEA?. Currently there is no barrier to anyone setting up and practising as an estate agent. There is no legal requirement for estate agents to obtain the new licence, leaving consumers with a clear choice over whether they choose a licensed or unlicensed agent. Peter Bolton King, chief executive of the NAEA, said: I am delighted to confirm that Jonathan Wright Estate Agents is now fully licensed We would like all sellers and buyers to ask their prospective agents, Do you have an NAEA licence?. If they dont, they should ask themselves whether thats the agent from
