The Haslemere office of Knight Frank opened its doors in the summer of 2011 in order to cope with the burgeoning demand from both clients and buyers in the prime West Sussex, South Surrey and East Hampshire regions. Since opening, the office has gone from strength to strength leading to both an expansion of the team, a huge uplift in public profile and has seen some outstanding successes for our clients. The office has handled many of the landmark sales in the region and continues to grow at an exceptional rate. Key to the success of the office is client care. We are told time and again by our clients that this is the one thing that separates Knight Frank
WELCOME TO LOCAL VIEWWelcome to the latest edition of Local View, our seasonal update on the property markets that matter to you. Along with a brief review of activity in Haslemere, we have also included a preview of some of the beautiful properties we currently have available. Please contact your local team for more information and to find out what other opportunities we can offer.
“We are finding that many clients are choosing to plan their release to the market in advance. Many houses have already been photographed in readiness for the spring market and we are seeing good numbers of new buyers present themselves to us in order to manage their search. Another trend we have noticed is the ‘slowing down’ of the London market and buyers recognising the attractive gap between what they can sell for in London and buy for in the country. We anticipate a pent up demand from London buyers who have put off their move to the country as London prices increase. These buyers will bring fuel to the market in the upcoming years, with buyers moving out of the metropolis for a better quality of life.”

MEET THE TEAM
from the competition. Knight Frank as a firm prides itself on excellent client care, giving our clients the advice we would give to our own friends and family. It is this personal approach that has seen us grow the established business and win many new friends in the area.
Over the past 12 months, the property market has continued to react to world events, both economic and social, that continue to drive global market sentiment. UK prime property has withstood ongoing global upheaval better than most, with London and the South East becoming the safe haven of choice in an ever changing world. Although there is still a healthy number of international buyers looking to move into the UK market, the bulk of the buyers being dealt with by the Haslemere office are British nationals moving out from London to find the ‘forever’ house in the country. We operate a centralised database of buyers which can be accessed by any office in the firm, and we are regularly in contact with our offices in suburban London such as Richmond, Wimbledon and Fulham as well as the offices immediately to the north on the A3 corridor of Esher, Cobham and Guildford. It is this flow of buyers from London, south and west to the Home Counties which, together with the healthy local market presence, is delivering exceptional success time and again.
We see the market in 2014 continuing very much in the same vein as 2013. The key to any successful sale has been a sensible guide price coupled with a proactive approach and the best marketing materials available. The sentiment seems to be that many people will look to make their move in 2014 prior to the General Election in 2015.

T he diverging fortunes of the prime London property market when compared with the country house market is helping to fuel a steady exodus from the capital to the countryside. For many, the meteoric rise in the value of their
London home in recent years is providing the perfect springboard to greener pastures.
From Hampshire to Worcestershire, Sussex to Scotland, buyers are seeing the proceeds of their London sale go further than ever before, with grand country houses proving an irresistible draw. They are being joined by international buyers too, who are discovering the UK’s rural charm and have been leading the bidding on some of the country’s biggest estate sales recently.
The lifestyle benefits are one of the key attractions – the opportunity to swap the constant hum of traffic and a coffee shop on every corner for the sound of cockerels and an orchard in the garden. As well as the idyllic country property and grounds, there’s also the landscape on your doorstep.
Add to this a plethora of good schools, an enviable work/life balance and great food (85 of the UK’s 158 Michelin-starred restaurants are located outside London), and it’s easy to see why so many purchasers are actively looking for their next home beyond the capital.
Technology improvements, including fast, reliable internet means working from home is a viable option. This means that those leaving London can choose to retain their work links with the capital while cutting down on their commuting time and costs. Pick the right location, and you can even find that your train to the office is quicker than commuting from Fulham or Chelsea.
The move to the country can also create new forms of income. Larger properties and more land open up the possibility to do anything from renting out holiday cottages to growing your own vegetables.
Whether you are looking for a country property or are considering selling, good local advice is vital. Here in Haslemere, we find that a great many deals are concluded off market, or depend on buyers being able to move fast to secure the most desirable properties. If this is of interest, our team would be delighted to tell you more.
