The latest news, views and opinions on the residential property market in London and the rest of the UK, with the experts from Winkworth.
The current mood in the prime central London property market, encompassing the capital’s most ritzy areas such as Knightsbridge, St John’s Wood and Notting Hill, is far from upbeat. New Winkworth research suggests that in some areas values are 20 to 30 percent lower than the price owners originally paid. So where does the market go from here? There is still activity, as property commentator Anne Ashworth has been finding out from Winkworth CEO Dominic Agace, and Charles Erwin from Winkworth Notting Hill.
It’s clear the government’s housebuilding targets are nowhere near being met, with many developments stuck in a sclerotic planning system while housebuilders complain there are simply not enough incentives for them to put spades in the ground. There’s also the issue of landlords pulling out of the rental market in the wake of the Renters Rights Act, leading to a shortage of rental property. So what needs to be done? Property commentator Anne Ashworth continues her conversation with Shadow Chancellor Sir Mel Stride and Winkworth CEO Dominic Agace.
Shadow Chancellor Sir Mel Stride is spearheading the Tories’ campaign to abolish stamp duty, which has risen greatly in recent years. So what’s driving the policy, what impact would it have on the property market and how would it be paid for? Sir Mel joins property commentator Anne Ashworth to discuss, along with Winkworth CEO Dominic Agace.
The Renters’ Rights Act takes effect on the first of May – the biggest reform to lettings for forty years. ‘No fault’ evictions will be abolished and tenants’ rights strengthened. Many landlords still don’t realise the full extent of their responsibilities, while others have already exited the market. So how will the sector be affected? To find out, property commentator Anne Ashworth is joined by Katie Roughley, Winkworth’s knowledge, regulation and learning manager and Aaron Priscott from Winkworth’s Kensal Rise office.

To find out, property commentator Anne Ashworth is joined by Harry Wilde of Winkworth’s office in Petersfield and Will Hosie, lifestyle editor of Country Life magazine.

For the latest, property commentator Anne Ashworth talks to Dominic Agace, CEO of Winkworth, and Anthony Emmerson from mortgage brokers Trinity Financial.
There’s been increased interest in properties in what are fast becoming London’s super-suburbs – those desirable areas with strong village atmosphere, beautiful houses and good transport links.

This is particularly strong at this time of the year, as property commentator Anne Ashworth discovers from Winkworth CEO Dominic Agace, Mark Epps from Winkworth Blackheath and Greenwich, and Donovan Kelly from Winkworth Barnes.
The property market in London’s most expensive postcodes has taken a beating over the past few years, and pre-budget speculation about further tax rises hasn’t helped.

Property commentator Anne Ashworth finds out more from Winkworth CEO Dominic Agace and Josh Grinling from Winkworth Kensington.

What’s going on in the London lettings market? Rents have risen much more sharply than house prices over the past few years, and threatened tax increases could force more buy-to-let landlords to leave the market, leading to even tighter supply.

Property commentator Anne Ashworth hears from Winkworth’s Charles Erwin, Lucinda Richardson from the Notting Hill office and Rupal Patel of Winkworth Shepherds Bush.
For many Londoners, being near a good park or heath is now seen as even more important than being close to the tube, which was once the top requirement in the capital.

People who want to move out of London for a different pace of life and more space can now look further afield, thanks to the rise of flexible working.

For many homebuyers, this month’s Chelsea Flower Show has once again turned the spotlight on the garden – do we still want paving and formality, or is the natural look back?

Why home-buyers are flocking to the so-called one-stop cities – where there are plenty of good opportunities to both live and work, thus avoiding the big commute.
