Q
My partner and I have been in the process of selling
and buying a home for what seems an age. We put a
two bedroom flat in Lytham on the market at the begin-
ning of January. Finally, after more than two months and
a significant cut in the asking price, we accepted an offer
from some first-time buyers.
During this time we had been looking for a three or four
bedroom house in Poulton, but found very little that met
our criteria. Then, four weeks ago, we saw something that
fitted the bill. We viewed twice in the same day and put in
an asking price offer of 375,000.
The offer was accepted, but the estate agents asked us
to not instruct our solicitor until the vendors had found
somewhere of their own to buy. We were told this, in the
estate agent's words, to prevent us from "wasting money
on searches and surveys only for the sale to fall through.
Is our situation normal or should we have cause for
concern, and is there anything we can do to move things
along?
A
To answer your question, yes, sadly your situation is
perfectly normal. Home buying can be a drawn-out
process, especially if you combine it with selling and are
then at the mercy of other peoples decisions.
You shouldnt be suspicious of the estate agent, however,
as they are giving you good advice. If the owners of the
house you want to buy change their minds about selling
because they cant find somewhere to buy themselves, you
could have wasted 500 or more if you had gone ahead
with a survey and searches.
As to what you can do to move things along, one option
might be to sell your flat and move into a rented property.
Living in rented accommodation means you dont have a
property to sell, which makes you more attractive to
prospective sellers because you are not in a chain and can
be more flexible about moving dates.
Q
Being environmentally friendly, is there any thing we
should think about when buying a property?
A
Private cars produce around 13 per cent of the UKs
carbon emissions. When looking for a new home, think
about how you can cut down the distances you will need to
travel by car which will help reduce climate change effects.
Good public transport links can help you cut car journeys.
If youre buying a property built since 2002 you could
ask the seller about the propertys SAP rating (Standard
Assessment Procedure rating). The SAP rating is based on
the energy costs associated with heating, water heating,
ventilation and lighting. When looking at properties, ask
whether there is wall and loft insulation, and find out how
old the boiler is. If the boiler is more than 10 to 15 years old
it is unlikely to be very efficient. Replacing it could save
you a third off your energy bills.
When youve moved in, get advice on how you could save
energy, by doing the Energy Saving Trusts online home

Youngsters forced back home
MORE than one million young people
have moved back in with their parents
in a bid to save money towards buying
their own home, a survey has shown.
One in five 18 to 24-year-olds admit
they have either returned to the family
home or put on hold plans to move out
in order to save towards a deposit,
according to high street bank Abbey.
The group has dubbed this generation
the baby boomerangers because of their
inability to leave home.
The study found that it is not just
young people who are being forced to
swallow their pride and move back in
with their parents, with an estimated
440,000 25 to 34-year-olds returning
home.
A further 471,000 35 to 44-year-olds
have also failed to fly the nest and are
again living with their parents in a bid
to save money.
Boomerangers are most likely to be
found in the North of England, despite
cheaper property prices there, with
young people in the region accounting
for a third of the total.
Unsurprisingly, there are also high
numbers of young people living with
their parents in the South East, account-
ing for 22 per cent of the national figure.
Nici Audhlam-Gardiner, director of
Abbey Mortgages, said: Millions of
Britons have realised that sometimes
you have to take one step backwards in
order to go two steps forward.
So while returning home or delaying
your plans to move out might feel like a
sacrifice, its actually a great opportuni-
ty to save enough money to put down a
deposit on a property of your own.
This is especially important in the
current market where the bigger the
deposit, the better the mortgage rate
you will be eligible for.
POTENTIAL buyers are continuing to
return to the property market following
steep house price falls and successive
interest rate cuts, latest research shows.
The Royal Institution of Chartered
Surveyors said buyer inquiries rose for
the third month in a row during
January, with 16 per cent more survey-
ors reporting an increase in interest
than those who saw a fall.
The return of house hunters boosted
surveyors optimism about future sales,
with 10 per cent more surveyors expect-
ing transactions to pick up in the com-
ing months, than those who thought
they would fall.
The number of sales agreed during
the three months to the end of January
also stabilised, with the average char-
tered survey estate agent arranging 9.9
sales, down only fractionally from an
average of 10 during the previous three
month period, although the figure was
still the lowest level on record.
RICS spokesman Jeremy Leaf said:
The latest survey provides further evi-
dence of the eagerness of buyers to try
and pick up bargains.
This interest has yet to translate into
sales but transactions may pick up in
the coming months if the Government
follows through on its recent announce-
ment and introduces guarantees for the
issuance of residential mortgage backed
securities.
The latest cut in interest rates may
improve confidence for those on the
margins, encouraging buyers looking for
more attractive finance deals.
But surveyors remain gloomy about
the prospects for prices in the short
term, with 76.3 per cent more surveyors
reporting price falls during January
than those who saw rises, up from 73.9
per cent more in December.
Surveyors expect further price falls
going forward, with confidence in prices
falling to its lowest level in the surveys
history.
RICS said the main factor that was
depressing house prices was still the
large stock of unsold homes on estate
agents books, relative to the pool of able
buyers.
The average chartered surveyor estate
agent had 75.4 homes on their books in
January, 10 per cent less than a year ago
and nearly 50 per cent down on the peak
in March last year.
The group attributed the fall to home-
owners opting to rent out their property
rather than sell it for a reduced price in
the current market.
Surveyors are most optimistic about
sales rising in the south of England,
with a balance of 38 per cent of survey-
ors in London expecting transaction vol-
umes to rise, more than double the 18
per cent who predicted an increase in
December.
The number of surveyors reporting
price falls also improved in the South
East, the North and the North West dur-
ing January, although it deteriorated
elsewhere across England and Wales.
In Northern Ireland the price balance
reached its highest level since
September 2007, although it still
remains at a very depressed level, while
there was also an improvement in
Scotland.

FOLLOWING the recent announce-
ment from the Royal Institute of
Chartered Surveyors, the National
Association of Estate Agents is con-
firming a similar story.
The chief executive of the National
Association of Estate Agents, Peter
Bolton King said: Our members
reported a slight upturn in activity
towards the end of December, with
both buyers and sellers showing an
increase in interest.
Furthermore, early indications
are that the market has picked up
significantly in January.
Hayley Claber (above), director of
the six-office Oystons group, said she
couldnt agree more.
December was far busier than we
anticipated and January is well up on
expectations. We have seen investors
back in the market for the last
few months and recently, which is
really good to see, is a significant
level of interest from first time
buyers.
We had thought until now they
were an endangered species, joked
Hayley.
Our major difficulty at the moment
is the lack of properties coming on
the market.
If you have been waiting to see if
the market improves, Oystons advice
is not to wait any longer.
If you are thinking of selling in
Blackpool, Cleveleys or Fleetwood
please call without delay for your
free valuation on Blackpool (01253)

LAST year saw a financial crisis
never before seen in the banking
history which affected the property
market substantially especially with
regards to selling property.
Fortunately one of the few sectors
in the property industry to ride
through this financial upheaval was
the rental market, which if anything
became more stable and stronger
through this uncertain period.
Place2let acknowledges that at
present there are slightly more prop-
erties available at the moment than
there are tenants but because of this
landlords are becoming aware of the
need to be competitive both in the
quality of their houses and realistic
in the rents they expect to receive.
This kind of competition can only
be good for tenants in that they have
a greater choice and place2let are
seeing a vastly improved standard of
home.
This years message therefore com-
ing out of place2let to landlords, is
that 2009 can be a very good year,
regardless of all the negative opin-
ions by financial and political com-
mentators alike, as long as houses
continue to be presented to a high
standard and rents are kept at an
realistic level.
We are now in a extremely compet-
itive market and with all such mar-
kets it comes down to two basic
principles, which are quality and
price of the product and in this par-
ticular case the product being hous-
es.
Place2let will always provide an
honest opinion on what they feel a
property will attain in rent, and also
how it compares in standard to
equivalent properties on the market.
It is only then that place2let can
achieve their aim of renting it out
quickly and efficiently as possible
for their landlords.

EVEN potential first-time buy-
ers who manage to save the 15
per cent deposit often required
for a mortgage would be better
off renting a home for the first
half of 2009 in most areas of
the country, says a new market
analysis.
Nicholas Leeming, director of
propertyfinder.co.uk which
carried out the survey, says:
First-time buyers are the
bedrock of the housing
market, but lenders are squeez-
ing the life out of the market
with the extortionate mort-
gage rates demanded from
those trying to get on the lad-
der.
Thousands are champing at
the bit to take advantage of
lower house prices, but simply
cant get a loan. No wonder
first-time buyers are an endan-
gered species.
The survey identified 70,000
two bedroom homes for sale,
and 40,000 similar properties
for rent a total of 110,000
and made certain assumptions:
that buyers with a minimum
15 per cent deposit earn 3.5 per
cent on their savings, and
would get a five per cent inter-
est-only mortgage if they pur-
chased.
Leeming advises potential
buyers: Look to rent until san-
ity returns to bank board-
rooms. Short term lets are a
good idea, but first-time buyers
must be vigilant and poised to
jump into the market quickly if
mortgage rates come down. In
the meantime, they should
save hard for a deposit.
The survey suggests an
answer to the Buy or Rent?
question usually hinges on spe-
cific local factors.
Of course, comparing advan-
tages of buying and renting is
not purely a financial calcula-
tion: renters, for instance, are
in a more flexible position if
they lose their job, or need to
move quickly to a new one.
Landlords take
the long view
BUY-to let-landlords are continu-
ing to take the long view over
their property investments.
They expect to hold them for up
to 20 years and, even if house
prices continue to fall, they do not
intend to sell.
ARLA believes these investors
are maintaining the core growth
in the private rented sector and
providing the housing solutions
for people in the recession.
The proportion of investment
landlords who do not expect to
sell during the next 12 months has
risen from 77 to 88 per cent.
Instead, the annual life
expectancy of residential property
investments averages 16.3 years,
with more than one in five
investors expecting to maintain t
investments for over 20 years.
These investors report an aver-
age loan to value ratio across their
portfolios of 56 per cent. Only a
third estimate their loans to value
at more than 76 per cent.
The average rate of return on a
buy-to-let investment over the past
five years is 10.59 per cent for an
outright cash purchase and 21.54
per cent for a mortgage-backed
investment.
Landlords say immigration from
new European Union countries is
having less effect on the rental
market than before.

METCALFS were established in the 1960s and
during their long reign as one of Blackpools
most popular independent estate agents they
have witnessed many ups and downs in the prop-
erty market.
Through their years of experience they have
found that during difficult times
auction sales always come out on top.
Director, Hamze Ballout says: In the current
climate we are finding that auctions are the way
to sell property.
Due to the credit crunch a lot of estate agents
are struggling but at Metcalfs we are as busy as
always attracting a lot of clients who are ready
and willing to buy at auction.
In 2008 Metcalfs had a very successful year sell-
ing over 50 per cent of their auction properties
and are now looking forward to the year ahead.
If you are thinking of selling by auction but
are not sure if it is the right path for you, below
are some answers to Metcalfs most commonly
asked questions:
Frequent questions about auction
How much? Metcalfs commission for selling
at auction is two per cent + VAT (minimum
1,500) and they have a competitive auction
entry fee of 300 + VAT.
Why auction? It offers maximum advertising
for your property and a quick secure sale to a
buyer who has the funds available and is ready
to exchange.
How long? Once contracts have been signed it
takes 28 days for completion.
What happens if the property doesnt sell?
They usually get post sale interest. However, if
this isnt the case, then there are three options.
1. You can withdraw the property.
2. You can put the property for sale on the nor-
mal market.
3. You can put it into our next auction for half
price (150 + VAT)
How frequent are they? Metcalfs is holding
seven auctions this year and they take place
approximately every two months.
What is the first step? You would need to book
a valuation. They are free of charge and you are
under no obligation to sell your property with
Metcalfs.
Can the buyer pull out of the sale? Once the
buyer has signed the contract and paid the 10 per
cent deposit, they are committed to the sale. If
they pull out for any reason, they will forfeit
their deposit and could face legal action from the
seller.
Will there be a reserve on the property? Yes.
However this is usually discussed nearer the
auction. The property will be advertised with a
guide price. The reserve is confidential between
Metcalfs and the seller.
Entries are now being taken for the March auc-
tion so dont miss the deadline, guarantee your
property a place and enter before February 13.
If you want to book a free valuation or if you
have any further questions regarding auction,
you can call Metcalfs on 01253 624047, or pop in
and see them at 73 Topping Street, Blackpool.
There has never been a better time to consider
auctioning your property and seeing it sold!

First timers urged to move quickly
HAPPY COUPLE: Rachel and David in their
new home
LUXURY LIFE: A Bryant Homes
property
IF you think there is no way you can
afford a stylish new home, then Miller
Homes is urging you to think again.
After helping hundreds of buyers
across the UK move into a brand new
home in 2008, the housebuilder is contin-
uing to make new homes more afford-
able by extending the availability of its
successful MiWay scheme across 17 of
its 21 developments including Willow
Fields in Wesham.
Almost 270 homebuyers were able to
move into a new Miller home last year,
thanks to the initiative which enables
purchasers to buy a new home without
having to pay the full purchase price up
front, but still own 100 percent of the
property from day one. The scheme
allows buyers to pay 75 per cent now and
25 per cent later with help in the form of
long term equity loan from Miller
Homes, with no interest or rent to pay
(see www.millerhomes.co.uk/miway for
details).
Buyers who found their perfect home
with MiWay are David Bailey and
Rachel Weightman.
David says: MiWay helped us buy our
first home together. I had previously
owned my own home but this is the first
time for Rachel. We found buying using
Miller Homes MiWay scheme straight-
forward and I would happily recom-
mend it to people. For us it was a really
simple, easy process. We originally
reserved a plot at the end of August and
moved in once the property was com-
pleted in December.
According to Sue Warwick, National
Sales and Marketing Director at Miller
Homes, the success of the scheme shows
that confidence isnt the biggest issue for
most house hunters it is affordability.
We believe in creating opportunities
for all homebuyers and our MiWay
scheme goes a long way in helping
homebuyers move into their dream
home. MiWay strikes a real chord with
purchasers as buyers generally find
themselves able to access some of the
more competitive mortgage deals on the
market.
People know that new homes repre-
sent great value for money and we are
committed to assuring people that buy-
ing a stylish, high quality property is
affordable with Miller Homes. New
homes have never been more affordable,
in fact there has never been a more
opportune time to buy a new property,
making it the best investment youll
ever make.
For further information on MiWay
and the range of properties available
visit www.millerhomes.co.uk/miway or
contact the regional office on 0870 336
4722.
WITH the number of new homes com-
ing onto the market halving as
inquiries are doubling, Bryant Homes
is urging house hunters, in particular
first time buyers, to make their move
now to secure the best deal.
The house builder has already sold
33 homes from 19 developments in the
North West region, including
Summerdowns in Garstang and
Crossing Gates in Wesham, this year
and is advising house hunters to make
the move in 2009.
This recommendation is supported
by housing minister Margaret Beckett
who is also warning that there is no
time to waste as she believes another
property boom may not be very far off.
Beckett advised first time buyers not
to delay buying as when the upturn
comes, there will probably be a mad
rush in a recent interview.
Jason Newton, regional sales and
marketing director for Bryant Homes,
said: This year is certainly a buyers
market as proved by our excellent
sales results so far in 2009. Were advis-
ing purchasers to be proactive when it
comes to securing the best deal avail-
able.
Bryant Homes is offering a range of
incentives and government backed
schemes on selected properties at its
developments.
The housebuilders Market Plus
scheme, which is available on selected
plots, enables purchasers to buy their
dream home but pay only 75 per cent
of the purchase price now.
Homeowners have the reassurance
that they own 100 per cent of their
property from day one and only need
to find a mortgage on the remaining 75
per cent. The other 25 per cent is pro-
vided rent and interest free by Bryant
Homes for up to 10 years, at which
point purchasers repay 25 per cent of
their homes current market value.
The scheme is flexible, allowing pur-
chasers to repay the outstanding
amount early or even make smaller
one-off payments up to three times
during the 10 year period.
Summerdowns offers a collection of
three, four and five bedroom homes
priced from 219,000.
Crossing Gates is a stylish collection
of mainly detached family homes, as
well as some two and three-bedroom
properties, with prices from 249,950.
