Town and Country VIEW
Town and Country VIEW Hereford | Worcester 2013 2 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. Rupert Sweeting Head of Country Department 3 4 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. 5 6 01432 273087 | [email protected] | www.knightfrank.co.uk/hereford HEREFORDSHIRE Herefordshire 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. Where do our buyers come from? International Regional 8% 20% London/South East 72% Sales by price band under £750k 43% £750k to £1.5m 34% £1.5m to £3m 23% THE TEAM Office Head Antony Clay [email protected] T +44 (0)1432 273087 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 throughout Great Britain and not just London.
