Prime Resi: April 2014

If you don’t know what you are talking about, you will very soon be found out.

Simon Barnes: “In an ideal world all agents would be able to buy and sell property with equal skill and success. Fundamentals common to both buying and selling agents are knowing your product and the market and being good at listening to your clients’ needs.

However, the job of a selling agent, while not always plain sailing, is relatively straightforward – you market a property using all its positives to get it sold and, as long as you are good at it, you get people to view the property from whom one buyer will usually emerge”

Prime Resi: December 2013

Autumn Statement: The property industry reacts

Simon Barnes:  “The introduction of CGT on overseas property investors will have little effect on the sales of houses or large apartments in prime central London as many of these are bought by offshore companies and not by individuals. However the development and sales of small flats in new developments along the Thames will undoubtedly be affected.

At present many of these developments are targeted at the overseas, predominantly Asian market and are sold off-plan and en mass at premium prices. Relying on the local market will never guarantee the quantity of sales at the prices needed by developers and there is a real danger that many will be left with rafts of small, expensive unsold flats as a result of this measure.”

10 Worst Mistakes made by amateur property developers

“From cheap wood flooring to lavish marble bathrooms, we list the errors made by amateur property pundits as they attempt to turn a quick profit”

Buying in the wrong area

“This is one of the most basic errors wannabe developers make,” according to property consultant Simon Barnes . “They believe it will be the next up-and-coming area but if it’s not a nice place to live, why will anyone want to spend a fortune buying there?”

The Times Property: August 2013

As September looms, we bring you professional advice to help you to shift that property without lowering the price

Summertime is almost over and a new school year awaits. It’s time for some post-holiday discipline: watching your waistline, keeping an eye on those purse strings and, if you have a house still on the market, renewing your efforts to sell it.

But what do buyers really pay attention to when they poke around your property? “It’s not always what you think they’re looking at,” says Simon Barnes, a property consultant. “Forget the expensive gadgetry. It’s often the smaller things that catch buyers’ eyes. It’s all about giving the impression that you are handing over a house that will be easy to run, rather than something with all the latest technology.”›
