MARKET UPDATE
A MIXED YEAR IN UK PROPERTY
It’s been a year of conflicting fortunes in the UK
property market. Both economic and political factors
have been at play and, depending on the location
and the price bracket, some quite different trends
are emerging. They include strong price growth in
the higher reaches of the prime property market in
and around London, and a drop in sales and value
among homes affected by this year’s change in
stamp duty rates.
Any review of 2012 needs to start with a look at the broader economic picture. Disappointing news towards the end of
2012 saw the IMF dramatically downgrade its forecasts for the UK and predict that the economy would shrink by 0.4%.
This was offset, though, by IMF expectations of 1.1% growth for 2013. Any sense of optimism has remained cautious,
however, and this is being reflected in both the current performance of the UK residential market and its outlook for the
year ahead.
London v. the rest of the UK
The 7% stamp duty effect
Data from Nationwide shows that the market as a whole
is continuing to stall, with average property prices
across the UK falling by 1.4% during the first three
quarters of 2012. For homes up to £2m, the average
drop was far greater at 4.3%.
In March 2012, the rate of stamp duty payable on £2m+
homes rose from 5% to 7%. The effect was dramatic and
immediate. In the months following the Budget, Knight
Frank’s Residential Review recorded a fall of 20% in the
number of transactions involving prime London
properties costing being £2m and £10m. This also
precipitated a significant drop in the price of homes
worth between £2m and £3m, with an average fall of
7%. Such a drop in activity and values will have
inevitably impacted stamp duty receipts, raising the
question of how many new property taxes can be
introduced before any net gain for the Treasury is
wiped out.
Central London, though, is still bucking trends and
setting new records month on month. Over the same
period, prime properties in the capital have seen rises
of around 10% as demand remains particularly strong in
the city’s most exclusive neighbourhoods. A key and
continuing factor in that growth is the influx of
international buyers who see the city as a safe haven
for their capital.
The prime markets outside London are facing more
challenges and we have seen drops approaching 5% in
the rest of England and Wales, and slightly smaller falls
at around 3% in Scotland. Yet even outside London
some hotspots are bucking the downward trend. Prices
in and around Oxford, for example, are up 2.3% on the
year, while prices around Guildford have risen 2%. And
country homes in the £4m+ bracket have seen
sustained growth. These rises are partly fuelled by the
increase in buyers from London who are looking to take
advantage of record high prices by selling and moving
to the country.
The consensus seems to
be that this mixed bag
of news will prevail for
some time to come;
there is likely to be
little change in the UK
housing market until
confidence in the
economic recovery
improves.
MARKET UPDATE
The demise of the ‘mansion tax’
2012 was also the year when the mooted mansion tax
was roundly rejected by the Chancellor. Originally a Lib
Dem proposal, this policy would have seen owners of
properties worth more than £2m paying an annual 1%
levy. George Osborne’s view is that such a tax would
drive enterprise and investment abroad, as it is
believed to have done in France. Hot on the heels of the
rise in stamp duty, it could also have had a dramatic
effect on the market at £2m to £5m level. What seems
certain is that, with the mansion tax now off the table,
the ongoing debate about ‘taxing the wealthy’ is
destined to go off in a new direction.
Activity in the housebuilding and the housing market,
or rather the lack of it, has also been high on the
political agenda this year. The Lib Dems, for example,
floated a plan to stimulate a sluggish market that
involved using parents’ pension pots to secure
mortgage deals for their children, but this received a
lukewarm reception. Labour, meanwhile, proposed
using the receipts from the 4G mobile sale to re-introduce
the stamp duty holiday for first-time buyers and to build
100,000 affordable homes. The debates on the best
way forward continue to rage and definitive plans have
yet to be announced.
The UK rental market
2012 saw small but sustained rises in average UK rents,
with Wales and the South East leading the way (LSL
Property Services). In London, though, rents were on a
modest downward trajectory during 2012. Although
rents have fallen 2.3% over the year, demand remains
healthy, with the number of new tenancies up 18% by
the third quarter.
Looking ahead
It’s clear that the overall picture is of falling prices and
reducing levels of activity. A few areas are bucking the
trend – notably the best London neighbourhoods and
prime country homes – but they feel very much the
exception rather than the rule. And even these
properties are being affected to some degree by the
stamp duty increase. The consensus seems to be that
this mixed bag of news will prevail for some time to
come; there is likely to be little change in the UK
housing market until confidence in the economic
recovery improves.
Our country
department
Knight Frank’s Country Department works with
our regional offices to sell prime country property
throughout the whole of the UK. Based at our
global headquarters on Baker Street in London,
the team is 32 strong and is the largest Country
Department of all the national agents.
Our approach, advice and guidance come from
extensive experience, gained over many years
and we pride ourselves on giving the highest
standard of service. This is part of what makes
Knight Frank different and ensures our clients
want to use us again.
As the residential market becomes increasingly
global, international exposure is paramount.
With 244 offices across 43 countries, we have a
truly global reach and receive interest from a
wide range of buyers.
In 2011, Knight Frank sold property to 65 different
nationalities of buyers. The fact that we build
relationships with each of our clients and
applicants means that, whether they come from
Chiswick or China, we will always source the best
possible match from our ever-growing pool of
potential purchasers. In fact, last year 37.4% of
country sales sold without any advertising.
Knight Frank doesn’t just sell property – our
experts advise on all aspects of the sector, from
planning and development to restoration and
estate management. Many who buy or sell their
property through us come back for advice on
anything from purchasing a property abroad, to
how they might be affected by a proposed
development, or how to secure the best
mortgage.

MARKET SENTIMENT
MAKING SENSE OF MARKET SENTIMENT
Confidence, or the lack of it, has become a frequent topic of discussion in recent years, whether
in relation to the economy as a whole or the property market in particular. Since it was launched
in 2009, Knight Frank/Markit’s House Price Sentiment Index (HPSI) has been charting levels of
household confidence and using it to predict future house price trends. What’s striking is how
accurately that sentiment then translates into market data, so it can be a valuable tool for those
considering a move or monitoring the performance of their property or region.
HOW THE HPSI WORKS Based on the opinions of 1,500 18-64 year olds across the UK,
the HPSI gives a view on current household confidence rather than historic evidence from
transactions or mortgage activity. Any figure below 50 indicates that perceived prices are
falling, and over 50 that they are rising.
The overall picture
The story from region to region
When taking the UK as a whole, the HPSI has been on
a resolutely downward trend; heralding falls in house
prices every month for the past two and a half years.
Taking the October 2012 findings as a benchmark,
every region came in at under 50, with the average at
45. The outlook for house prices also fell sharply
towards the end of 2012, but rallied to a modest overall
rise predicted for the next 12 months. Only three of the
11 regions were expecting prices to rise in the coming
year.
Perhaps the most surprising news from recent surveys
has been London’s first dip into negative territory.
Household sentiment recorded a perceived fall in
property prices, scoring 49.5.
it’s a measure of the
lack of confidence
that even London and
the South East have
downgraded their
expected price increases
to the lowest HPSI since
the start of the year.
Scotland’s year was mainly about growing confidence
and its HPSI figure in October stood at 49. Wales, by
contrast, finished on 41.9 after registering marked dips
and rises in confidence throughout 2012.
The biggest falls were recorded in the North West (40.5)
and East Midlands (40.5), compared to the South East
and the West Midlands which were two of the few
regions with a gentle trend upwards. The South East
reached 49.1 in October, the highest it had been since
May, and West Midlands scored 45.
The region of Yorkshire and the Humber and also the
North East saw sharp swings in confidence over the
third quarter of 2012, but ended with figures towards
the middle of the UK-wide spread at 43.4 and 44.8
respectively.
Overall, it is a state of flux, with confidence moving
from negative to positive and back again in the space
of a few months. This reflects the general state of
uncertainty that is prevailing in the UK and also
internationally, of course, but it is interesting to see
how householders are feeling when they look ahead.
It is only then that we start to see a more coherent
trend emerging.
MARKET SENTIMENT
The outlook
The influencing factors
We also asked householders to give us their predictions
for property prices over the coming year. The ‘future
HPSI’ as it’s called saw a net decrease in October.
It seems that falling prices or, at best, slowing growth
have been the order of the year across the country. As
expected, the continuing run of bad economic news has
impacted confidence in both current house prices and
their prospects for 2013. Poor forecasts from the
International Monetary Fund and worries about the
fiscal austerity plans are two of the factors that have
clearly shaped the way the HPSI has performed. And it’s
a measure of the lack of confidence that even London
and the South East have downgraded their expected
price increases to the lowest HPSI since the start of
the year.
Towards the end of 2012, earlier optimism had started
ebbing away in the 11 regions across the UK. Only three
recorded expectations for house price rises in the third
quarter, compared to six regions in the first half of the
year. Around 24% of households anticipated a rise in
the value of their home over the next 12 months, while
23% expected a fall. This represented a month-on-month
fall from 53.5 to 50.5, the sharpest drop in this index for
a year.
In another shift, London (59.8) has been overtaken by
the South East (60.8) in terms of predicted growth –
this is the first time this has happened since 2010.
Households in both regions are expecting a healthy rise
in prices over the next year, but the future HPSI reading
for London has dropped back into negative territory
(49.5) after spending most of 2012 above 50.
The only other region expecting price rises was the West
Midlands – it’s reading of 53.2 in October was the
highest for a year.
At the other end of the scale, the least optimistic region
was the North West. Following on from monthly falls
throughout 2012, the October figure was 42.1.
In the East Midlands, meanwhile, it was more of a
mixed year, with the figure swinging from a high of 55.7
in April to a low of 44.5 in October.

LOCAL UPDATE
The name ‘Hereford Office’ is somewhat misleading as we cover from
Shrewsbury in the north to Chepstow in the south and
encompassing a host of market towns such as Ludlow, Bromyard,
Leominster, Ledbury, Ross, Monmouth, Abergavenny and Usk.
Despite this geographical spread there are similar attributes
throughout which are attractive to potential buyers. Charming towns
and villages, good schooling, pretty countryside, excellent
communications, world renowned fishing, food and literary festivals,
we cover it all.
Not surprisingly we have buyers yearning to move here, especially
from London and the South East who see better value for money with
a higher quality of life. Indeed we currently have 860 registered
buyers in this office alone looking for properties between £750,000
and £1,500,000 (nationwide this rises to and incredible 27,621),
With central London still booming (as colleagues in our offices love
to remind us) we have quantities of buyers looking for a home for
their cash and, with 75% of our sold houses going to London or
south eastern buyers, we clearly help satisfy this demand.

As new properties come on to the market and
existing ones fall into a correctly priced bracket,
there will be enough stock to satisfy the pentup demand so 2013 should prove to be a sound
year for the residential property market

Age of our buyers
Worcestershire continues to be a popular destination for national
buyers looking for a rural and convenient location. It benefits from
excellent road, rail and airport links making the South East and Home
Counties readily reachable, and the capital just 90 minutes away.
With first-rate schools in the area too, the family looking for the
accessible, rural and affordable lifestyle will find it in Worcestershire;
and for a lot less than in the nearby Cotswolds and Oxfordshire.
By the end of 2012, we saw strong activity in the Worcestershire
market. There was an increase of 34% in properties sold compared to
the year before, a 37% increase in offers made, and a 49% increase
in offers accepted.
Looking to 2013, we have some very good instructions that we have
launched to the market and will continue to through to early Spring.
We anticipate the supply of good homes to be at a lower level,
creating strong demand for the very desirable homes. Competitive
bidding took place during 2012, and we expect buyers will continue
to do so in order to secure their perfect home in 2013.
