    Hampstead, Belsize Park and the Green Space Premium

    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.  So does this mean that the ‘green space premium’ – the extra price you have to pay for a property overlooking, or at least very close to, the park - is even bigger than it used to be?  Property commentator Anne Ashworth finds out more from Dominic Agace, CEO of Winkworth, while Neil Sloam, owner of Winkworth's new Belsize Park office, talks about the attractions for homebuyers of being close to the wide open spaces of Hampstead Heath and Regents Park.

    Westminster, Pimlico and what’s really going on in Prime Central London

    As some of the super-wealthy non-doms leave London for tax reasons, who’s moving in to take their place?  We look at new Winkworth research which lifts the lid on who’s now sniffing a bargain after years of static or declining prices in the capital’s top neighbourhoods, with a particular focus on Pimlico and Westminster.  Property commentator Anne Ashworth is joined by Winkworth CEO Dominic Agace and Rob Oatley who runs the Pimlico and Westminster office.

    How VAT on school fees is hitting the property market - the example of Reading

    The imposition of Value Added Tax on private school fees at the beginning of this year is having a noticeable impact on the property market, in both expected and unexpected ways.  Some parents are spending less on housing to be able to afford the fees, while others are trying to move near the best state primary and secondary schools.  Joining property commentator Anne Ashworth to look in more detail at the trends, through their effect on the town of Reading in Berkshire and more broadly, are Winkworth Chief Executive Dominic Agace, Good Schools Guide managing editor Melanie Sanderson, and Michael Foldvari of Winkworth Reading.

    Will falling interest rates boost the housing market?

    Economists are agreed that further interest rate cuts are on the way, but how far and how fast?  Lenders are already engaged in a mini-mortgage price war, meanwhile the ‘Bank of Mum and Dad’ looks set to trickle record amounts into the market, as pension tax reforms bite.  Joining property commentator Anne Ashworth to discuss the impact of these trends are Winkworth Chief Executive Dominic Agace and Anthony Emmerson of mortgage brokers Trinity Financial.

    Salisbury, Marlborough and the rise of flexible working

    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.  The hotspots for London leavers used to be Hampshire and Surrey. But now counties like Wiltshire are becoming increasingly popular, and realistic for a 2-3 days a week commute.  Property commentator Anne Ashworth finds out more from Winkworth Chief Executive Dominic Agace and Simon Jacobs, who runs Winkworth’s Marlborough and Salisbury offices.

    Prime Central London and the makeover of Knightsbridge

    The Prime Central London property market has been subdued to say the least over the past few years, but lower prices and a strong dollar are now providing a strong incentive for US buyers to take the plunge.  The Knightsbridge area is attracting particular interest after a makeover by the area’s biggest landlord.  Property Commentator Anne Ashworth hears the latest about what’s going on in London’s smartest districts from Winkworth CEO Dominic Agace, and Christian Lock-Necrews, newly installed as head of Winkworth Knightsbridge.

    The changing profile of today's property buyers

    This time we look at the changing profile of who’s now buying in the property market, with a particular focus on first-time buyers and the popular Tooting market in south London. The Bank of Mum and Dad is currently very active as more empty-nesters decide to downsize, but buy-to-let investors are few and far between.  To find out more about the impact of these trends, property commentator Anne Ashworth talks to Winkworth CEO Dominic Agace and Nicky Upton of Winkworth Tooting.

    The Property Market Outlook for 2025

    What lies ahead for the property market in 2025?  There has been a lot of negativity about slower UK growth post-Budget, along with concern that interest rates could remain high for longer than originally expected.  But under the bonnet, are things rather more positive?   Property commentator Anne Ashworth hears from Winkworth CEO Dominic Agace, and Head of Developments and Commercial Investments Adam Stackhouse.
