among NAEA experts across the UK, found that times are definitely chang­ ing with good local schools, transport links and local amenities beating pubs, parks and community spirit hands down when it comes to selling a home. Peter Bolton King, chief


executive at the NAEA comments: ‘These findings are, in some ways, a sad reflection on the way times are changing. “When you consider that


for most people their “vil­ lage” is contained within their mobile phone or e- mail contact list, rather than the local neighbour­ hood, it’s hardly surprising


that people don’t prioritise the personality of the ’phys­ ical’ community where they live. “With this in mind, those


looking to sell property ought to look closely at which attributes in the area match the changing needs of property buyers today. The research clearly demonstrates physical attributes of a home and local area infrastructure are becoming increasingly important.” The research found that


properties with off-street parking and a new kitchen are far more attractive to buyers than those with landscaped gardens or conservatories. In fact, conservatories came sec­ ond last in the poll of desir­ ables that would boost the saleability of a property. Peter Bolton King contin­


ues: ’The fact that conser­ vatories were one of the least popular attributes may surprise a lot of peo­ ple. However, the value of a property is restricted by the average price of property in the area, so if your home is already tip top and you add a conservatory to increase value, you may not get your money back. In short, adding a con­


servatory should be a lifestyle choice.” According to the survey, clutter, pets and dirty work surfaces were the factors most likely to put off buyers. Other deterrents includ­


ed dirty dishes in the sink, unmade beds and children running around. Peter Bolton King con­


cludes: “It sounds like com­ mon sense but Kim and Aggie and good estate agents across the country have clearly got it right: a clean home with no clutter is a more attractive propo­ sition than a dirty, messy one.” The National Association


of Estate Agents is dedicat­ ed to the goal of profes­ sionalism within high street estate agency. Its aim is to reassure the general public that by appointing an NAEA member to repre­ sent them they will receive in return the highest level of integrity and service in both sa les and lettings. Ea ch NAEA member is bound by a vigorously enforced Code of Practice and adheres to profession­ al Rules of Conduct. Fail­ ure to do so can result in heavy financial penalties and possible expulsion from the Association.


Take action on rural house prices


ESCALATING land prices are forcing up the cost of rural housing schemes. The Campaign to Protect Rural England


(CPRE) and the National Housing Federa­ tion have called on the Government to take action on the escalating rural housing cri­ sis, as house prices in some areas have now reached 10 times the local earnings. Stewart Lilly, planning and development


expert, and president elect at the National Association of Estate Agents (NAEA), said that he welcomed the intervention of the CPRE and the National Housing Federa­ tion. ’The Government needs to do more to alleviate the housing issues that rural areas are now facing. In many South East

villages the term ’executive ghetto’ is becoming the norm. Some housing associations are having


difficulty in negotiating the acquisition of appropriate land for affordable housing: this is a direct result of landowners demanding high prices. “As chairman of a local parish council in rural Oxfordshire, where there is a strong demand for local affordable hous­ ing, I have seen first hand how difficult the situation has become. We approached four land owners in the village, asking them to sell the land for affordable housing. All four refused as they can demand higher prices if the land is bought for speculative hous­ ing.”
