SENSESWhen staging your home, think of all the senses; sight, sound, smell, taste and touch.
Starting with sight, open all the curtains, let in as much natural light as you can. Ask the agent to put the lights on in all the rooms.
Give the buyer something nice to look at. After you have de-cluttered leave a few choice items that would be considered to be above what would normally be expected in the price range of your home. Allow the prospective buyer to be aspirational. Set the dining table, show off your finest cutlery. If you in a small flat with a breakfast bar, lay it out with fruit and bowls.
If your house is near a busy road, the perception or reality of sound intrusion could put off buyers. Consider what you can do to mitigate against this negative point. Keep windows roadside closed. Draw the buyer’s eyes away from the noisy part of the house and towards the quieter part.
Look at your house with a critical eye. Are you banisters sticky to the touch? Are your kitchen drawer handles clean? Are there smears on doorplates? Modern stainless steel banisters have the wow
factor but show up sticky fingerprints, unless regularly cleaned.
Consider airing your property before the viewing. Each house has its own particular smell, which we will not be aware of. Shy away from strong air fresheners though, as if a viewer spots an air freshener they may wonder what smell the owner is trying to hide.
It may be a cliché but something baking in the oven, a pot of coffee or even a lavander scented candle can be beneficial.
I am a firm believer in removing all evidence of pet ownership. This was a pet bugbear (if you will excuse the pun) of Ann Maurice, “The House Doctor”. Not all people are animal lovers. I am a dog lover and yet if I see evidence of dogs or cats I mentally lower my offer to include the cost of replacing carpets. I stop looking at the positive aspects of the property and start looking for signs of pets such as smells or stains. I would go so far as to remove pet-flaps in doors. I would remove food bowls and ensure pets are not at home for viewings.
On one viewing, I was initially unable to get into the kitchen as a yapping dog was rather upset that people had invaded his house and did his best to defend his home. I did go into the kitchen but my

first thought was to get out and away from the dog. My lasting memory of that property was the dog!
However, in America, there is currently a craze for staging homes with dogs and cats. So, a labrador might feature in a country house brochure whilst a cat might feature in an advertisement for an ultra-modern apartment. The theory is to make the properties look more “natural” and also give visual clues as to the lifestyle on offer.
I remain unconvinced.
ACCESSSelling a home does involve a degree of inconvenience to yourself. You must have your home available for viewings at the prospective purchaser’s convenience, not your own. I have often thought to myself, “Do you really want to sell your house?
Make sure the buyers can park easily. An experienced agent will park away from the property, so the client can park easily. At one open viewing, the agent parked their car in the already small drive. As soon as people turned up for the open viewing, chaos ensued. Other prospective buyers drove by and gave up.
Where access is limited – consider having someone available to marshal the traffic and direct people to alternative
nearby parking or consider the wisdom of having an open viewing.
If your property has an outhouse or garage, make sure the agent has keys and access. One property I visited had a large block built shed at the end of the garden but it was so overgrown that it was impossible to get to the shed. That could have been a potential selling point to a client with teenagers wanting a den or somewhere for a drum kit.
AGENTSAn experienced agent will get to know your property and its environs. Before choosing your agent, go to viewings of other properties and see how they sell them.On many occasions I’ve asked questions about the status of adjoining fields, type of heating and when the boiler was replaced. I have been met with vague answers which do not inspire confidence.
Your agent will have many properties on their books. When you initially meet your agent do point out positive points that
may not be immediately obvious such as lower heating bills due to upgraded insulation, under floor heating, ample attic space or a new boiler.
I believe if you follow some, or ideally all, of these simple strategies you will achieve a successful outcome. Of course, once you have de-cluttered, de-personalised and deep cleaned your house you might decide you no longer want to move out.
Give the buyer something nice to look at. After you have de-cluttered leave a few choice items that would be considered to be above what would normally be expected in the price range of your home. Allow the prospective buyer to be aspirational.

YOU’D NEED TO REPEAT THE TIME-HONOURED MANTRA ‘LOCATION-LOCATION-LOCATION’ A COUPLE OF TIMES TO DO JUSTICE TO THE STUNNING SETTING OF FISHERS GATE.
The spacious seven-bedroomed property sits at the northern end of St Ouen’s Bay, close to the corner where the Five Mile Road turns inland at Jersey Pearl, and is situated on a large plot of land that extends some 400 metres from the house itself to the seawall above the beach.
The house and adjoining land catch the sun from mid-morning until it dips into the ocean at sunset, and offer a feast of Jersey’s great outdoors featuring unspoiled countryside as well as surf, sand and sea.
Dating from the early 20th Century, with more recent enlargement work, Fishers Gate has extensive living space in addition to its outdoor dimension. The ground floor has a morning room, dining room and an especially large lounge. The latter room is more than 620 square feet (approaching 60 sq m) in size, with parquet flooring and three sets of French doors providing access to the garden.
The ground floor also includes the kitchen, which has a north-facing window offering views towards the rugged outcrop of L’Etacq, plus adjacent laundry and utility rooms - these rooms provide generous space for both equipment and general storage - and two bedrooms at the seaward end of the property, one a potential master bedroom with ensuite bathroom.
Three further bedrooms, one with ensuite bathroom, plus a house bathroom, are found on the first floor, where the added elevation further enhances the magnificent views, with a south-facing vista towards La Corbière becoming a feature.
A further slight of stairs leads up to the second floor, which offers a perfect space for a teenagers’ den, or perhaps an office. The second floor retains impressively high ceilings in both the sixth and seventh bedrooms, one of which is ensuite, and attractive arched windows.
The garden can be accessed through a paved conservatory area, incorporating a fig tree, and has a sloping lawn and a gate onto the adjoining land. The majority of the sweep of land stretching down to the beach is under the same ownership as the house, offering the peace-of-mind that comes that knowing the views could never be spoiled through development or inappropriate use. Cows graze peacefully, while the waves crash onto the sand beyond, providing an irresistible mix of countryside and coastal splendour.
With parking for up to six cars and a large garage, the house has mains drains and borehole water, three-phase electricity and a screened oil tank. Significant modernisation work would be likely to be on the agenda of the eventual purchaser - this is a property with huge potential to accompany its prime location.
The fact that Fishers Gate has been in the hands of the current family owners since the early 1970s reflects the rarity of the opportunity it offers to a potential purchaser. Moore Properties are handling the sale, with an asking price of £1,375,000.
The house and adjoining land catch the sun from mid-morning until it dips into the ocean
at sunset, and offer a feast of Jersey’s great outdoors featuring unspoiled countryside as
well as surf, sand and sea.

THE JECC wINTER SEMINARS 2013 25th April Health and Safety – Asbestos in the workplace, raising the bar. Following on from the success of last year’s health and safety seminar, an expert panel will bediscussing the issues facing the Island with regard to Asbestos and review where we are now, what can be done in the future and the role the JeCC can play in helping raise the bar of awareness. For those who are unaware, Asbestos is a naturally occurring fibrous form of mineral silicates. There are three main types of Asbestos commonly used in the construction industry: crocidolite, amosite and chrysotile, often described as blue, brown and white asbestos respectively. Because of its excellent fire and insulation properties, Asbestos was widely used in many different forms in the construction of commercial and domestic properties. It is now no longer used, but “Asbestos containing” materials may still be found in buildings constructed prior to 2000. If the “Asbestos containing” materials are not damaged, it will not present a risk. However, if it is disturbed it can release Asbestos fibres which can give rise to a number of serious illnesses including lung diseases and cancers. Persons may not develop symptoms until 15 – 60 years after the time they breathed in Asbestos fibres; the legacy of past exposure currently results in around 4500 deaths a year in the UK. Anyone working on or in a building built prior to 2000, either through trade or DIY, could be at risk. It is therefore essential that the dangers of this deadly material are known, and that suitable precautions are taken to limit its harmful effects. The seminar will be hosted by Advocate Helen Ruelle, of sponsors Mourant Ozannes, who will be joined by experts, Colin Myers, Director of Health and Safety, Lee McGurty, Senior Consultant, Coppolo and Coyde and Advocate Mark Temple of Mourant Ozannes.

IT’S BEEN QUOTED AS “THE MOST LUXURIOUS ONE BEDROOM HOUSE ON THE ISLAND” AND THIS SUMS UP LA CACHE PERFECTLY.
The owners of this stunning pad have managed to redesign a house that feels like home and make no mistake, you don’t need more than one bedroom to make it a home! This place is pimp, in a cosy ‘I want to spend more time in here’ kind of way.
Situated in a quiet lane, just a couple of minutes from St Ouens beach and within walking distance to the village, theres a paved parking area for 3 cars and a shed big enough for all your toys, gardening equipment or a studio. Attention has gone into the planting to create a little oasis
and as you walk through the gate into the south facing courtyard garden it feels calm, tranquil and warm; a sheltered sun trap with its own waterfall (which lights up at night!).
With such a sweet garden, it’s integral that it interacts with the house, and the indoor-outdoor flow of this house is spot on, with bifold doors opening the front of the house into the BBQ patio and garden.
The front door leads into a double height foyer, so you enter into a bright open space. Off the foyer you have a downstairs toilet, cloak cupboard and the stairs which lead up to the second floor which is entirely devoted to the master suite. This large double bedroom has plenty of room, with a picture window framing distant sea views, views out over the garden, large storage space, built in wardrobes and a top of the range ensuite bathroom.
Downstairs is one large open plan living space, with a fully integrated kitchen, a bespoke office space, and spacious living and dining area.
The owners splashed out when installing the German high gloss lacquered designer kitchen. The handless drawers electrically open with under lit feature lighting. It comes with all the conveniences you’d expect, solid quartz worktops, an induction hob, self-cleaning oven, combo oven, boiling & filtered water tap, dishwasher, fridge/freezer and washer/dryer.
The bespoke office space has been designed to match the kitchen, with integrated high gloss white desk and shelves.
All this flows nicely into the spacious living and dining area. In summer you can open the whole room out to the garden or in winter stoke the log burner and snuggle up in front of the fire. The Velux windows above the dining area are remote controlled and with the touch of a button will open and close the blinds and windows. They are also rain sensitive, so should they feel rain when open they’ll conveniently close themselves.
La cache has the vibe of a seaside cottage with more than a touch of modern designer bachelor pad. It’s easy to maintain without compromising on style, efficiency or design.
If you’re looking to enhance your quality of life then La Cache could be the home for you. This thoughtfully designed gem will be sure to surprise you.

This place is pimp, in a cosy ‘I want to spend more time in here’ kind of way.
Whether you already own an investment portfolio or are looking to purchase your first buy-to-let property, having a co-ordinated effective team of professionals assisting you can be invaluable.
Having your lawyer prepare a well drafted tenancy agreement will make both the landlord and the tenant’s obligations clear from the
outset and the property manager will ensure that the property is managed effectively throughout the term of the lease by reference to the terms of the tenancy agreement.
Below are some key aspects to bear in mind:-
wHAT CAN PROPERTY MANAGEMENT DO FOR YOU?
If you would like to meet with a member of our team for an informal chat, please call 504056 or visit us online at www.ogierproperty.com
FINDING A TENANT
Property managers can offer a complete letting service from pre-marketing advice on how to present your property, through
to marketing and advertising, carrying out accompanied viewings, and obtaining
references and credit checks.
THE TENANCY AGREEMENT
It is in both parties’ interest to have a clear binding agreement. The new Residential
Tenancy (Jersey) Law 2011 sets out certain points which must be included in the
tenancy agreement. It also provides for a “cooling off” period for tenants before signature. A lawyer will ensure you are compliant with this law and give you
guidance on common issues which often give rise to disputes.
The property manager will often assist with the preparation of an inventory to be
attached to the lease.
RENT COLLECTION
Many landlords choose to employ a property manager to deal with all aspects of rent collection as well as the day to day management of the letting. Often too the property management company will hold
any rent deposit.
If you are a landlord that would benefit from our assistance, or would just like to talk to us about how we can help please contact:
Katharine Marshall: 01534 753904 (Ogier) Jonathan Hughes: 01534 504336 (Ogier)
Chris Marsh: 01534 507709 (Voisin Hunter) Simon Gale: 01534 507730( Voisin Hunter)
ONGOING MAINTENANCE
The landlord is likely to be responsible under the tenancy agreement for structural
repairs to the property as well as issues relating to the heating or water systems and
fittings such as white goods.
Sometimes this means the Landlord will need to organise visits at very short notice and ensure that any repairs are carried out
promptly. It’s often inconveniences like this that can turn managing a property into
a real headache. A property management service with an out of hours emergency telephone line means they will deal with the issue whenever it happens, 24/7 and
365 days of the year.
An experienced property management team will have established a network of
excellent local contractors who can provide great service and value for money, whether it is mending a leaking tap, maintaining a fire alarm or fully refurbishing a property.
INSPECTIONS
To ensure that your property is being looked after properly, your property
managers will carry out regular inspections and then provide detailed feedback to you.
This can be especially helpful if you are away from Jersey for long periods. They
will also check your property complies with safety regulations and current legislation.
ALWAYS GOOD TO TALK
Whenever an issue arises, we would advise that you talk either to the property managers or your lawyers, both of whom
can often offer a brief consultation at little or no cost to you. Often a bigger problem
can be simply and cheaply averted by quick straight-forward action at the outset.

The Jersey Estate Agents’ Association is committed to raising the standards in estate agency. For reliable information,
please see our list of members above
The proposed new Law will change the existing rules on residency in the hope of making them simpler and fairer for all and will consist of 4 new categories:
ENTITLED – will incorporate the previous (a) – (h) and (k) category status and will mean that anyone who was born in Jersey or has been resident in Jersey for at least 10 years, will fall into this category and be able to own, buy or rent a property without any restrictions.
A registration card is all that will be required with the responsibility on the Entitled person to obtain.
LICENSED – will replace the previous ( j) category status and will mean that anyone who has a licence from their employer will be able to own, buy or rent a property in their own name depending on the conditions that have been set on the property, for as long as they are employed by that employer.
ENTITLED FOR WORK – will incorporate persons who have acquired 5 years continuous residence in Jersey prior to applying for their registration card and they will be able to rent a property as long as it is for less than 9 years. They will not be able to purchase a property until they have obtained their Entitled status.
REGISTERED – will replace the previous non-qualified status and will incorporate all those who do not fall into any of the above mentioned categories.
PROPERTY CATEGORIES Under the new Law all property will fall into one of two categories – Qualified and Registered and will be recorded on a public register maintained by the Minister.
Qualified properties will comprise all properties previously (a) – (h) category and Registered properties will comprise all other properties
The Housing Minister will have the discretion to change the categorisation of a particular property at any time.
