Extension and refurbishment

We are 10 weeks in on this extension and refurbishment project where we are gradually bringing this pair of detached bungalows back to life. As well as some substantial side and rear extensions the properties are being reconfigured internally to each provide 4 bedrooms & 2 bathrooms all of which will be finished to our usual exceptionally high standard.

Works are expected to be complete in July 2026 and we look forward to showcasing this project.

Peckham SE15

Fri, 10 Oct 2025 12:39:43 GMT

Refurbishment of this 3 bedroom period home in Peckham SE15 is now complete and this stunning period property is now available for sale.

The property had not been refurbished or properly maintained since the 1970's and has been given a new lease of life. Following a successful planning application to rebuild a dilapidated side bay window, alter some openings and make some cosmetic changes and upgrades our main contractors embarked on this thoughtfully planned refurbishment project.

The property has been fully refurbished, featuring new double-glazed sash windows, a complete rewire and re-plumb and a new Worcester boiler with Hive smart control. Full fibre broadband connectivity has been installed. The ground floor has new damp-proofing, tanking and insulation throughout. The roof has been overhauled and a Velux window has been installed above the bathroom and a sun tunnel designed to compliment the vaulted ceilings at the rear of the house. On the ground floor, there is a bright and spacious lounge through diner with a bay window to the front. To the rear, the original dining room and kitchen have been combined into one generous space. The original dilapidated bay window has been replaced with a striking welded-glass feature box bay and with the additional bi-folding doors opening directly onto the landscaped garden natural light now floods into the property. The kitchen is a sleek, handleless design with marble quartz worktops and splash backs and has been fitted with Bosch integrated appliances. A new spacious ground-floor WC has been introduced to the property and under the stairs has been used to provide a utility room and additional practical storage. Upstairs, there are three good sized bedrooms and a family bathroom, which has been enlarged to include both a separate shower and a full-sized bath.

Externally, the rear of the property has been finished with coloured silicone render, giving a crisp, modern appearance. The garden has been landscaped with new fencing, a patio area and a freshly laid lawn, along with outdoor lighting and a water tap.

Every aspect of this property has been carefully considered and executed to a high standard, resulting in a truly turnkey home in one of Peckham's most desirable locations.

Project update

Mon, 23 Sep 2024 13:34:09 GMT

We are pleased with progress at our site in the London Borough of Sutton where the substructure has now been completed and the detached bungalow is starting to take shape. This project has been constructed using SIPs, fabricated off site and assembled onsite over the past 4 weeks. This method of construction provides excellent over all thermal performance with low U values, reduced thermal bridging and excellent air tightness. In addition the property will have air source heat pumps, PV and a Bauder green roof all designed to make the property ultra energy efficient. We are currently working with our Kitchen and bathroom designers and have been working with our architects to improve some of the landscaping design. This detached 2 bedroom bungalow is expected to be completed in December 2024. If you are interested in purchasing this property and would like to find out more please do not hesitate to get in touch. info@spring-developments.com

NEW PROJECT UNDER CONSTRUCTION

matthewpower@hotmail.com (Matthew Power) — Tue, 06 Dec 2022 15:57:19 GMT

Our latest project in Twickenham is now officially under construction! Over the next 6 months we will be restoring this beautiful period building which dates back to 1905 to its former glory whilst converting it to 3 spacious luxury apartments. Having already restored and converted the building next door we are excited to be working on this project with the same contractors KWP Build By Design. The property is situated within a few hundred yards of Twickenham Station and early interest is anticipated so if this is an area you are considering purchasing in then please do not hesitate to get in touch to receive additional information about this property.

Our approach to property acquisition is to seek out properties and buildings that have reach a point where they are no longer habitable and are in a derelict or totally unmodernised condition. We are cash buyers so in most cases can proceed with the purchase in a matter of only a few days. Following acquisition we will often seek some form of planning gain to enable us to repurpose the property to suit a wider range of occupiers but in all cases we approach the refurbishment with a view that we are looking to increase the life span of the building for many generations to come. Often this involves stripping the building back to the original brick work and starting from scratch introducing new floors, internal walls and modern fittings, renewing all timbers windows and drainage, whilst rectifying any structural issues along the way. This property was in a terrible condition and restoration will be a long process but buyers can be assured that apart from the brick shell and the beautiful stair case everything will be brand new and finished to our usual exceptionally high standard!

RECENTLY ACQUIRED

matthewpower@hotmail.com (Matthew Power) — Wed, 09 Nov 2022 15:43:56 GMT

Spring Developments are pleased to announce the acquisition of this mixed use building in our home town of Dorking, Surrey. This Grade II listed building presents a new challenge for the team at Spring Developments as the building is in need of upgrading through out. The property was acquired on a discreet off market basis from vendors looking for a stress free transaction who wanted a quick sale with flexible completion and without having to clear the property on completion. Our plans for the property include some general refurbishment works and we are currently consulting with a local historic buildings and conservation specialist and Sawkings Architects. This property is an exciting addition to our property portfolio which currently comprises a wide selection of properties some of which can be viewed in more detail on our properties page .

Spring Developments are always looking to acquire properties for investment, development, conversion and refurbishment.

Spring Developments exchanged contracts in only 23 hours!

matthewpower@hotmail.com (Matthew Power) — Sat, 03 Sep 2022 15:10:11 GMT

Until recently our fastest ever exchange was 4 days (including the weekend) in fact we've done this more times than we can remember, and that's pretty fast compared to lots of buyers. Needless to say having cash funds immediately available and a great legal team behind us always helps when a quick exchange is required, so when we agreed the sale on this pair of houses on the Thursday morning and the contract followed a few hours later our funds were immediately sent over to our solicitors account and they worked into the evening so they could report to us in their offices the following morning. By 11am we were ready to exchange contracts and it only took a few extra hours for the sellers solicitors to get back to us and both parties had peace of mind that contracts were exchanged on both properties. This took only 23 hours from start to finish! We offer flexible completion on all acquisitions, however, a fast completion was also a priority for the seller so 7 days later we completed and collected the keys.

Spring Developments is a property investment and development company that specialises in the acquisition of all types of residential & commercial property. Our experience and strong track record of purchasing properties quickly using cash funds means we are often approached directly by owners, executors & legal representatives. We aim to secure properties quickly on an off market basis, offer bespoke flexible terms to suit all situations and can often commit to an exchange of contracts taking place within 7 days or less. We have a keen interested in purchasing properties which have been left empty and are derelict, uninhabitable, unmortgageable or problematic. We also purchase land for development and properties that have potential for conversion or future development.

Our ethos is to be straight forward, honest, trustworthy and reliable. We are passionate about property, believe in great communication and have a passion for bringing derelict, unloved buildings back to life.

If you can introduce a property or some land to us then please do contact us. All discussions will be held in the strictest confidence and without obligation to proceed. Please give Matt a call or email using our contact form or the details below.

Planning granted

matthewpower@hotmail.com (Matthew Power) — Thu, 04 Aug 2022 11:24:02 GMT

Spring Developments are pleased to announce that we have recently received full planning permission to restore and convert this currently uninhabitable property into three luxury apartments. This development is our second project in Twickenham having purchased and converted the adjoining building in 2019.

Planning permission for this site has taken considerably longer than normal which has been a hugely frustrating for our team who were lined up to commence construction at the start of 2022. Across many London boroughs we are finding similar delays in the planning process with a number of minor applications that would normally be decided within 8 weeks taking up to 6 months and sometimes longer! We are now in the process of getting everything ready to commence on site in September 2022 with completion expected in March 2023.

Spring Developments are currently looking to acquire similar properties for conversion or refurbishment. We offer a flexible approach to each acquisition and are happy to consider properties with potential on a subject to planning basis or to purchase immediately using cash funds. As an example this particular property was purchased using cash funds and contracts were exchanged within 4 days. The seller wanted a bit of time to find another property so completion took place 3 months after the exchange, the property was purchased fully furnished as this suited the seller who didn't want the hassle of having to clear the house. It's worth noting that when we purchased the property next door we also exchanged contracts in 4 days, although that time we completed immediately. Both properties being unmortgageable, derelict, uninhabitable, unsafe and unsuitable for disposal on the open market.

If you are interested in purchasing one of these apartments and would like to find out more information and join our early buyers waiting list then please do not hesitate to get in touch please send us an email to info@spring-developments.com with your full contact details and we will get in touch with you straight away, alternatively you can send us a message via our contact page. Please also feel free to reach out to us if you have a property you would like to sell. All enquiries are handled in the strictest of confidence and without any obligation to proceed .

Project Update

matthewpower@hotmail.com (Matthew Power) — Wed, 06 Jul 2022 16:23:59 GMT

It's been 7 months since we started this 6 flat conversion project in the London Borough of Sutton. Internal fit out is now in full swing and w e hope to see the project nearing completion by the end of the summer when our contractors will then move onto another conversion project. For our next project we will be back in the London Borough of Richmond Upon Thames working on the restoration and conversion of another dilapidated period building to provide 3 luxury apartments suitable for down sizers and first time buyer.

Our current focus is on the acquisition of new opportunities with potential for development & conversion. We are also keen to acquire properties that require substantial refurbishment or that are derelict, uninhabitable, unmortgageable or problematic. We are also able to offer a quick sale service in times of distress (please contact us in confidence for more information on this service).

Spring Developments remain well funded and in a position to respond quickly to all enquire s. We have an excellent reputation for providing a smooth and stress free approach to property disposal and can provide sellers with the peace of mind that they are working with a company that always delivers on their promises together with a firm com m itment from us to providing a very fast change of contracts, often within 7 d ays! In addition to make things easy completion can be flexible to suit individual circumstances but if you have other needs or requirements we can discuss these with you and work with you to agree something that works for all parties concerned.

Merry Christmas

matthewpower@hotmail.com (Matthew Power) — Wed, 22 Dec 2021 18:33:29 GMT

2021 has been a busy year for Spring Developments. Suitable acquisitions have been hard to find, the market has been racing and many opportunities we have reviewed have simply not stacked up. Despite this we have secured a number of excellent opportunities which have been acquired unconditionally with our fastest exchange of 2021 taking place in only 24 hours. We have also continued to grow our portfolio of subject to planning opportunities secured via option agreement. Working directly with property and land owners to explore otherwise unrealised planning potential in return for uplift in the current market value creates a win win for both parties. We have completed a handful of refurbishment projects and works started in October on our 6 flat conversion project in Sutton with another 3 flat project starting in the new year. Our last planning application of 2021 was submitted today and we anticipate submitting planning on at least 2 sites by the end of January and we will continue to actively seek out suitable opportunities during 2022.

Our search for property is constant we have immediate requirements for residential & commercial buildings suitable for conversion or redevelopment. We also actively acquire properties that require refurbishment many of which are derelict, have structural issues, or are being sold through probate. If you have a property or piece of land that you feel would be suitable for development we would be keen to have a conversation with you.

In the meantime the Spring Developments team are looking forward to a break with our families over the Christmas period and would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone reading this a very merry Christmas and best wishes & good health for 2022.

Bexhill on Sea

Thu, 26 Aug 2021 15:26:52 GMT

Spring Developments are please to confirm that we have completed the high quality refurbishment of this sea front property in Bexhill on Sea. The property had been on the market for many months and the seller had been messed around by a number of buyers failing to complete. We were approached directly and the property was secured on the basis that we were cash buyers and could offer a fast exchange of contracts. The property required substantial refurbishment and has now been finished to an exceptionally high standard throughout.

Spring Developments are able to acquire a wide variety of properties often on the basis of a quick exchange using immediately available cash funds. Typically we seek out properties suitable for conversion to luxury apartments - large period buildings and office blocks are ideal for this. Development sites are also of immediate interest, we often purchase these on a subject to planning (option) basis but can also purchase outright without planning using cash funds. In addition we like to keep our construction teams busy so when we are not working on conversions or new build projects we keep busy with refurbishments like this one in Bexhill on Sea!

We are constantly looking to acquire new projects and always keen to hear from home owners and land owners with property to sell. Whether you own a piece of land or large property with development potential, a property we could convert or an unmodernised or derelict property we would love to hear from you. As cash buyers we can also assist where a quick sale is required, so if you need to release equity fast for any reason then please do not hesitate to get in touch. info@spring-developments.com

Stamp Duty holiday extended to 30th June 2021

matthewpower@hotmail.com (Matthew Power) — Tue, 09 Mar 2021 18:04:02 GMT

The recently announced three month extension to the stamp duty holiday means that buyers and sellers who had concerns over meeting the March deadline can breath a sigh of relief. The stamp duty holiday was announced following the end of the first lockdown and has fuelled the property market with buyers and sellers racing to move and secure the saving. However high demand during a period of prolonged lockdowns has caused huge delays with many sales taking months longer than normal to complete. We are still hearing stories of sales that were agreed during summer months still not reaching exchange or completion! Up until last week sellers up and down the country faced the prospect of losing their buyer and/or having to renegotiate their sale price to compensate for the much needed SDLT saving that most buyers will have added to their deposits. Whether this extension will benefit any new buyers hoping to complete in the next 3 month remains to be seen but with conveyancers pushed to the limit and with some unable to take on any new business the extension it likely to only benefit cash buyers who can avoid the need for searches, surveys and mortgages and buyers who have probably already been buying for the last 4 -6 months!

As cash buyers we can avoid the numerous hurdles that delay other buyers from being able to exchange and complete a sale quickly. We can often exchange contracts within 7 days without the need for any evasive surveys, third party approval and with with no mortgage required. We purchase a wide variety of properties from derelict buildings, to development sites, properties suitable to convert to flats, probate or executor sales to name a few. If you are thinking of selling, have been let down by a purchaser or would like to discuss the sale of a derelict property or one with development potential then please do not hesitate to give us a call.

Buyers want gardens

matthewpower@hotmail.com (Matthew Power) — Sat, 13 Feb 2021 10:40:41 GMT

As a Surrey property development company we are often involved in the development of large properties on substantial plots where it is much easier to provide a reasonable portion of private outside space to each of our newly developed flats and houses. Living in lockdown has made everyone realise the importance of outside space, whether its access to a patio, terrace, balcony, private garden or a good piece of well designed shared communal garden being able to get outside is important. Flats and apartments without any outside space are certainly not getting as much interest from prospective buyers and likely to be of less interest and hold lower values in years to come.

When designing our new schemes , many of which have been flat conversions and new build apartments w e have paid very little attention to the division of the garden space, often providing oversized gardens to the ground floor properties with small er spaces allocated to the remain ing apartments . The development pictured is an example of this , and although the communal space is substantial it could have been divided up in a more efficient way to allow private space to all flats and the ground floor flats could have managed with slightly smaller gardens.

Moving forward we are making a concerted effort to review how our external spaces are designed and especially how much private space will be allocated. Admittedly this is often harder in London Boroughs but it's made us think more about what we do and how best to design our spaces.

Our search for suitable development sites in ongoing. We are looking for residential and commercial properties to convert across Surrey and South London. We are also looking to acquire large properties & bungalows on wide plots or corner plots for our bespoke new developments and are looking to make contact with homeowners who along with their neighbouring homeowners would be interested in disposing of parts of unused rear gardens for small housing development on a subject to planning basis.

We welcome all direct enquiries from agents and homeowners. If you have a property or piece of land you wish to discuss in complete confidence and without obligation then please visit our contact page or drop us an email matt@spring-developments.com Send us your contact details and we will get in contact with you straight away.

Property acquisitions during lockdown

matthewpower@hotmail.com (Matthew Power) — Thu, 14 Jan 2021 17:50:05 GMT

With another lockdown upon us and Covid-19 vaccinations being rolled out there is indeed a light at the end of the tunnel. Until then the Government advice is to "stay at home".

However the property market remains open for business and you are (for now) allowed to sell your property, viewings can take place and you can move home , although the Government guidance is that "people outside of your household or support bubble should not help with moving house unless absolutely necessary". So great news if you are in the process of selling & buying especially if you are hoping to move before the 31st March 2021 and take advantage of the Stamp Duty Holiday . For Spring Developments this means business as usual and we can and will continue to focus on property acquisitions.

For those of you keen to start the sale process during the latest lockdown and begin the process of mark eting your property there are some tough decisions to make. Firstly is doesn't look like the Stamp Duty Holiday is going to be extended and given the slow pace of transactions over the past 6 months it is ver y unlikely that any buyer requiring a mortgage could realistically get a survey booked let alone complete a sale by the end of March. Additionally the Government say that 1 in 3 people who have the virus have no symptoms and therefore could spread the virus without knowing. Do you want these people in your property? Wouldn't you be better of waiting until things get back to normal? However the big question is, when will we get back to normal and more importantly what will the new normal look like? Covid-19 is having such a huge impact on everyone. Unemployment is at its highest level in years and expected to get worse, businesses in every sector are affected especially within hospitality. Schools closed, non essential shops & businesses closed again, office buildings sitting empty while employees work from home at the same time juggling home schooling. The list is endless and e xperts predict that the worse is yet to come with talk of a double dip recession, negative interest rates.

C ould waiting to sell your property mean a better sale price or a lower sale price? Recessions are certainly not good for the property market. In the 2008 recession house prices fell by over 16% GDP shrank that year by 6.9% and unemployment was high . In 2020 GDP shrank by over 20% in the second quarter and it is expected that the annual fall will be around 9.5% so who knows w hat impact this could have on house prices in 20 21!

Despite this uncertainty Spring Developments continue to acquire properties within London and the South East. If you are considering selling a property in 2021 and would like to discuss a sale in confidence please get in touch and lets start a conversation. We are experience buyers and often don't need to view inside a property to make an informed decision. In the event that we do need to view we will follow government social distancing guidelines and will be wearing wearing gloves and face masks.

Spring Developments submit planning on a new project in South London.

matthewpower@hotmail.com (Matthew Power) — Thu, 17 Dec 2020 15:41:16 GMT

There is still time to move before Christmas

matthewpower@hotmail.com (Matthew Power) — Tue, 24 Nov 2020 17:58:25 GMT

In ‘normal’ times after you have found a buyer a house sale can take 3/4 months to go through to completion. It can sometimes take longer especially if you are caught up in a chain of properties a s it only takes one bad link in your chain and everyone is left twiddling their thumbs while they wait for the issue to be resolved and/or be faced with starting the whole process of finding a buyer again. However these times are far from normal, businesses and individuals are struggling from the financial impact of the first lock down and as we come out of the second lockdown matters are no doubt worse for many people across the UK .

The housing market has been one of the more positive topics since the end of the first lockdown. As soon as the lockdown was lifted It was like the flood gates opened and the money that had been burning a hole of buyers pockets had to be spent. A stamp duty holiday was introduced albeit for a limited period until the 31st March 2021 which has added fuel to the fire making more buyers desperate to move and take advantage of the SDLT savings. Additionally there is no doubt that a large number of people who had been cooped up in their properties for the last 4/5 months probably felt it was time to move to a bigger place, whilst others faced with job losses and financial difficulties are moving to reduce outgoings.

As a property developer we've seen a fair level of interest in our new homes which has resulted in sales being agreed from strong buyer interest but it has to be said that the issues we have experience getting our new homes sales across the line have been exhausting to say the least. Buyers have found it particularly difficult to obtain mortgages, surveyors have had a field day with down valuations, solicitors & conveyancers have been swamped and unable to turn sales around resulting in sales that would normally take 28 days to exchange contracts taking well over 4 months to complete. We aren't the only ones seeing this, agents we speak to report that sales are through the roof, pipeline are better than they have ever been, but sales are slow to complete properties are constantly being down valued, buyers struggle to make up the difference leading to renegotiations and subsequent fall throughs. It's also interesting to still hear reports of buyers outbidding other buyers by large sums to secure properties which is another indication that price inflation is clearly being pushed up by unusually high levels of demand.

How sustainable is this and what does the future hold for the property market? An interesting report by Bank rate UK refers to a survey conducted by its mortgage experts who spoke to buyers across the UK, who have bought or attempted to buy a property in the last 6 months( March to October). The aim of the report was to uncover how mortgage lender uncertainty has affected the UK housing market. However the result were shocking to say the least and highlighted how 46% of buyers had had their prospective purchase down valued by the mortgage company, London 59% saw down valuations with 44% in the South East. The full article can be read by following this link https://www.bankrate.com/uk/mortgages/devaluation-report

If you have experienced difficultly with the sale of a property, been messed around by a buyer or are looking to sell and want to avoid being caught up dealing with a buyer in a chain or needing a mortgage. Perhaps you have a property that has some development potential and want to discuss increasing its value through a longer term subject to planning agreement? Whatever the situation Spring Developments have funds available and are able to complete most sales before Christmas or Exchange contracts with us and move in the New Year.So if you want to discuss a potential sale lets start a conversation. #webuypropertyinanycondition

Winter-proof your empty property. Are you ready for winter?

matthewpower@hotmail.com (Matthew Power) — Wed, 11 Nov 2020 14:27:56 GMT

Spring Developments are constantly purchasing derelict and unmodernised properties, many of which that have been left empty for long periods of time, unmaintained, exposed to the elements with damaged windows, holes in the roof, with ongoing water ingress, damp, rot, structural defects, infested by vermin or damage through squatting and vandalism. Inherited properties through no fault of the beneficiaries are often left empty and can be subject to damage from lack of maintenance, break ins and other criminal activities. These can often be the worst properties we get invited to see where relatives have been unable to make a decision what to do with the property, limited by their emotional attachment and reluctant to make changes or in many cases they simply do not have the resources to carry out day to day maintenance. Probate can often tie these properties up for months and even years especially when there is no Will or if beneficiaries have been difficult to find.

Needless to say an empty property in winter can be a headache, especially if you aren’t living close to the property and not around to keep an eye on things. All properties require ongoing maintenance even if no one is living there so its worthwhile taking some simple measure to ensure your property is protected from damage and unwanted interest during the darker and colder months of the year. With our vast experience purchasing and working with many unmodernised and derelict vacant properties here are our top tips for ensuring your property gets the winter months without causing you a headache.

Check your insurance

First and foremost you should check your buildings and contents insurance policy covers the property whilst it is empty. Most insurance companies will cover the property for short period ie while you are on holiday, but if the property is going to be empty for a long periods then you might need specialist insurance for vacant buildings this will be more expensive and likely to be subject to regular inspections, sealing the letterbox and draining down the heating system, so make sure you read the small print and if in doubt give your insurance company a call.

Check outside

It is important to make sure that the property appears to be lived in. A ramshackle appearance will be clear indication that the property is either uncared for or empty. Empty properties can be subject to criminal activity, so cut back hedges and foliage to make the property looks like it is regularly maintained. This also helps to provide natural surveillance, after all if the front or the rear of the property is overgrown how will your neighbours see if any unwanted visitors are hanging around?
During autumn months falling leaves and moss can easily block gutters and drains so make sure you clear these to avoid blockages. Overflowing gutters and blocked drains can lead to serious damp issues within the property.
If you have any external lighting then it's a good idea to connect this to a timer or better still a sensor that will detect movement and act as a further deterrent for unwanted visitors.
Check the roof for holes or slipped / damaged tiles. Spring Developments have purchase a number of properties where even after a short time a leaking roof has caused substantial damage within the property, this affects the value and also a normal buyers ability to secure a mortgage as the property will be deemed inhabitable!
External taps should be firmly closed and not allowed to drip, if you have a hose pipe connected this will hold water and it is advisable to disconnect this during the winter months. Any external water pipes should ideally have some form of lagging to protect them from freezing.
Make sure side gates, garage doors are secure, if you have bins outside the property think about moving them into the garage or to the rear of the property while they are not being used.
Ideally you should redirect your post. Inevitably leaflets and junk mail are going to be delivered, however if you seal the letterbox you will avoid a build up of rubbish and unwanted visitors won’t know the property is empty where post has not been pushed though your letterbox properly.Perhaps a friendly neighbour can keep an eye out for you and collect any unwanted junk mail.
Cancel any Milk, newspaper or any other regular deliveries.

Check inside

It is advisable to keep the heating on so that if the temperature drops it will come on and stop any uninsulated pipes from freezing and bursting. If you don’t want to pay for heating bills while the property is empty contact a plumber and arrange for the system to be drained down. If you are not using the heating then you may as well turn the gas off at the meter, just in case.
Make sure all windows are locked and secure and down level the keys in the windows or on the window cil.
Don’t leave your lights on all the time. It's worth investing in a few automatic timer switches which can be uses to switch lamps on throughout the day and night make sure at least one room at the front of the house is lit up. The timers can also be connected to a radio or TV.
Keeping the curtains open or closed is a difficult decision. Ultimately if they are closed through out the day then people will assume the house is empty so best to leave them open and use strategic lighting.
Try not to leave any valuables on display.
Un plug appliance to save energy and protect them from power surges.
Spare keys should be in a secure key safe. Don’t leave keys under the mat or hidden outside the property, anyone keen to get in will eventually find them.

Despite theses uncertain times Spring Developments continue to purchase a wide range of properties across

London and the South East. If you have property that you don't want left empty throughout the Winter months and want to discuss its sale then please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Lockdown Part 2

matthewpower@hotmail.com (Matthew Power) — Thu, 05 Nov 2020 10:58:04 GMT

The second lockdown has started and in the run up to Christmas there is a huge amount of uncertainty over the impact this will have on jobs and the economy. The Bank of England predicts that the jobless rate will peak at 7.75% in the second quarter of 2021 they have announced they have boosted the quantitative easing package by a further £150Bn and have maintained the bank rate at 0.1%. This is followed by Sainsbury’s announcing that it’s cutting 3500 jobs and closing 350 Argo stores, John Lewis & Lloyd’s banking group have also said they are cutting a combined 2500 jobs !

However if you are buying or selling at the moment or work in the property sector it is reassuring to hear that the property market will continue to remain open for business.

Government guidance published ahead of the latest lockdown also states that you can move home-

13. Moving home

You can still move home. People outside your household or support bubble should not help with moving house unless absolutely necessary.

Estate and letting agents and removals firms can continue to work and people looking to move home can continue to undertake viewings.

Follow the national guidance on moving home safely, which includes advice on social distancing and wearing a face covering.

As an active property buyer and property developer we have been rec eiving calls and emails from agents advising that their offices remain open for business although most will be closed to the public. Following strict social distancing they will continue to carry out essential viewing and market appraisals, with some are offering virtual valuations (guesstimates), but jokes aside the good news is that Estate Agents will play an active role in keeping the property market moving, agreeing new sales and progressing their slow moving pipelines. It is however still uncertain what the remainder of the essential cogs in the property market will be doing to help people move home. Solicitors & Conveyancers will remain open and continue to handle all the necessary legal aspects so theres no real change there as many solicitors /conveyancers have been working from home since the first lockdown. However the question is what are surveyors, mortgage companies, removal companies, search providers and other service providers going to do? E.Surv Surveyors say on their website that they will continue physical inspections during November lockdown, however during the first lockdown everything seemed to grind to a halt, it was impossible to get a survey, solicitors were only going into the office once a week to pick up post. Mass properties were down valued due to market uncertainty, in fact if you google this there are many web pages including an article in the I ndependent quoting that nearly half of Uk properties down valued by mortgage lenders during the first 6 months of the Covid crisis. https://www.independent.co.uk/money/house-prices-mortgage-latest-stamp-duty-holiday-b+447974379727.html

Keeping the property market open is important and provides an opportunity for existing sales to complete and for new sales to b e agreed, but with all the continued uncertainty in the economy and the job market how long can this go on? There will also be a point in the very near future where any buyer hoping to move because of the stamp duty holiday will be unable to physically complete in time to meet the deadline and if the government don't extend the stamp duty holiday what happens then?

Spring Developments have for many years been purchasing properties for development, conversion and refurbishment. We also actively purchase properties where sellers require a quick sale and are often able to exchange contract within a matter of a few days. As an example this week we have agreed a s ale on a probate property which had been sold stc. but due to a bad survey the buyer had pulled out. We were contacted directly and agreed the sale based on an exchange of contracts within 7 d ays.

If you have a property suitable for development or conversion, or have been let down by a buyer then please do not hesitate to get in touch. We always have cash funds available for purchases #webuypropertyinanycondition

Stamp Duty Land Tax temporary reduced rates

matthewpower@hotmail.com (Matthew Power) — Sun, 12 Jul 2020 07:54:21 GMT

This weeks announcement that stamp duty is being temporarily reduced with immediate effect is most certainly the best news buyers, sellers and property professionals have had in a long while and represents huge savings especially for transactions below £500,000 where a zero rate applies for first time buyers.

Surrey property development company, Spring Developments acquire land and property for new housing projects across the South East. Our developments aimed mostly at first time buyers and home movers and the immediate reductions in stamp duty have been welcomed by our buyers with many saving as much as £15,000 on the purchase of their Spring Developments new homes.

Since stamp duty increase in 2016, property professional have been campaigning for SDLT to be reduced. Property professionals and second home owners being hit the hardest with higher rates, so like us I am sure many will be taking advantage of the temporary reduced rates on new acquisitions up until the 31st March 2020.

www.gov.uk provides the following information regarding Stamp Duty Land Tax and the temporary reduced rates and can be viewed by flowing this link

Residenti al Rates on purchases from 8 July 2020 to 31 March 2021

If you purchase a residential property between 8 July 2020 to 31 March 2021, you only start to pay SDLT on the amount that you pay for the property above £500,000. These rates apply whether you are buying your first home or have owned property before.

You can use the table to work out the SDLT due:

Property or lease premium or transfer value SDLT rate

Up to £500,000 Zero

The next £425,000 (the portion from £500,001 to £925,000) 5%

The next £575,000 (the portion from £925,001 to £1.5 million) 10%

The remaining amount (the portion above £1.5 million) 12%

From 8 July 2020 to 31 March 2021 the special rules for first time buyers are replaced by the reduced rates set out above.

Use the SDLT calculator to work out how much tax you’ll pay.

Higher rates for additional properties

The 3% higher rate for purchases of additional dwellings applies on top of revised standard rates above for the period 8 July 2020 to 31 March 2021.

The following rates apply:

Property or lease premium or transfer value SDLT rate

Up to £500,000 3%

The next £425,000 (the portion from £500,001 to £925,000) 8%

The next £575,000 (the portion from £925,001 to £1.5 million) 13%

The remaining amount (the portion above £1.5 million)

What do we buy?

matthewpower@hotmail.com (Matthew Power) — Fri, 03 Jul 2020 12:12:01 GMT

One question that we are often asked is what type of properties do you buy?

Spring Developments is a dynamic property company, we specialise in land and property acquisition for new development, conversion and refurbishment. Our ideal properties are large period buildings which are generally in a state of disrepair, derelict or requiring complete modernisation. We are also interested in all types of properties situated on wide plots, corner plots or with large gardens as well as land assembly-(multiple rear gardens for residential development). We are always keen to discuss and acquire commercial buildings across the South East. Commercial buildings can often provide potential for residential and mixed use developments. Commercial buildings of interest include offices, care homes, storage units, shops and uppers, pubs, garages, light industrial & agricultural buildings.

A high percentage of our acquisitions are derelict properties, often through probate and we consider ourselves experts in these areas. Derelict properties are often unsaleable on the open market due to structural or safety issues deemed as uninhabitable and mostly unmortgageable. We are experienced cash buyers and have the ability to complete the sale of derelict properties quickly and with greater surety of a sale than selling via an agent or in auction.

The Spring Developments team have a passion for restoring all unmodernised and derelict properties. We care about locations, local communities and attention to detail. All of our developments are bespoke, well located and architecturally designed to enhance local communities whilst meeting with local planning guidelines. Spring Developments are renowned for producing unique developments with high quality accommodation finished to an excellent specification. We work with architects and planners who share our passion and more importantly have an excellent track record.

We work with agents, introducers, homeowners, executors & land owners to identify and acquire land and properties across the South East. We are keen to discuss and appraise opportunities no matter how big or small and although we are happy to purchase unconditionally or on a subject to planning basis we are also keen to work with property owners who are keen to maximise their returns via option agreements or joint ventures.

If you have an opportunity to discuss please do not hesitate to contact us .

SELLING AN INHERITED PROPERTY

matthewpower@hotmail.com (Matthew Power) — Mon, 22 Jun 2020 16:49:26 GMT

As a cash buyer we are often approached by personal representatives and executors who are looking to sell inherited property and release equity quickly. Spring Developments have a history of purchasing a wide range of probate property often through direct contact with executors and beneficiaries. Our experience over the years has been of a wide range of situations and properties in variety of conditions including, derelict, unmodernised, fully furnished (hoarders) and with structural defects including subsidence, fire damage, damp, holes in the roof and so on. As cash buyers we are able to provide flexible terms, often able to exchange contracts prior to probate being granted and provide valuable assistance with probate fees, inheritance tax payments & other debts against the property.

Dealing with a deceased estate can be a stressful process and there are often challenges around obtaining the grant of probate (a legal document which provides authority to deal with the deceased persons assets). Time is a huge factor as this can often take a number of months with more complex cases taking over 12 months. Inheritance tax payments are due by the end of the six month period following the death and personal representatives (executors/administrators) will be required to pay this in order to obtain the grant of probate so if there are limited funds within the estate, making the initial IHT payment, obtaining loans to facilitate this and incurring interest on outstanding amounts until assets can be liquidised can add to the stress.

Selling a property on the open market often takes longer than most people think. Often family homes will attract interest from buyers moving up the market who need to sell in order to buy, however being involved with a chain of buyers and sellers makes It harder to maintain control of timescales, can lead to delays with increased risk where sales are cancelled within the chain. Whilst we can often exchange contracts before probate is granted a less experienced buyer and most certainly a buyer requiring a mortgage won’t take that risk or offer that flexibility and reassurance. Their purchase will normally be subject to a survey so worth considering this if the property requires work or has any evidence of structural issues. If a survey highlights issues with the property this could put the buyer off or cause delays where further investigations are carried out which could lead to renegotiation of the sale price and/or the buyer withdrawing.

There are many benefits to dealing directly with Spring Developments. The reassurance of a smooth and stress free sale to an experienced cash buyer and flexibility and assistance with financial arrangement is often a more attractive prospect rather than paying estate agents fees and having to accommodate strangers in your home for viewings, surveys, mortgage valuations etc. Not forgetting that there would be no guarantee of a sale or any way to determined what price you will achieve or how long it will take to conclude the sale.

As we have a great deal of experience purchasing probate property we have complied a few case studies to highlight some of our experience. If you are considering contacting us to discuss the sale of a property then please also have a look at the testimonials on our website or our reviews on google .

Case Study 1

Terraced house. South Croydon

The Grant of Probate had taken about 18 month to come through before this property came to the market. It sat empty for most of this time followed by a further 6 months of marketing with an estate agent. 3 sales had been agreed but all of them had fallen fall through as the buyers all withdrew from the sale after the survey highlighted high levels of damp and water penetration in the property. After 2 years the executors needed the property sold but did not want the uncertainty of going to auction so we were contacted by a local agent who had recently sold us a similar property. We agreed terms and exchanged and completed the sale in only 7 days.

Case Study 2

Two unmodernised adjoining houses. Sutton.

Following the death of the owner we were contacted 7 months later by the executors who had not applied for probate believing that this would hold off Inheritance tax payments on the estate. Inheritance tax payments are due by the end of the six month period following the death. In addition to 3 tenants the owner had occupied part of the property himself and used a multitude of rooms, garages and external storage areas for items that he had hoarded over the last 50 years. We were able to agree terms with the executors which included dealing with the tenants and the clearance of the property with a quick exchange and access to funds to make an inheritance tax payment. The sale was then completed once probate had been granted, during which time we were able to make good use of time by evicting the non paying tenants and clear the property.

Case Study 3

Semi Detached unmodernised house. New Malden.

Requiring modernisation and fully furnished (including a broken down car in the garage) we purchase this property in a sold as seen condition before it came to market on the run up to Christmas. We agreed to purchase the property and handle the clearance ourselves and exchanged of contracts in only 4 days.

Case study 4

Semi detached house Twickenham.

This property had been empty for a number of years and at some point had squatters and was now boarded for security. The front and rear of the property was completely overgrown and full of rubbish. Internally the property had considerable damage caused by a number of holes in the main roof. Being exposed to the elements for a long period the property was damp & mouldy throughout, some rooms we unsafe to enter due to rotten floor joists and a number of ceilings and floors had collapsed. Unsuitable and unsafe for marketing, the sellers needed a professional buyer, so we agreed a sale and were able to exchange contracts within 48 hours.

Case study 5

Semi detached house arranged as 4 flats. Sutton

After inheriting a large period property that had been converted to 4 flats in the 1980’s without planning permission the owners had struggled for months to evict the tenants only to find out that as the property did not have planning for its current use they would need to convert the property back to a house or sell to a cash buyer. We were approached directly and were able to agree terms with the owner and purchased the property with a quick exchange and a 6 week completion period allowing time for the last tenant to leave.

Government Advice on Home Moving

matthewpower@hotmail.com (Matthew Power) — Sun, 29 Mar 2020 10:21:53 GMT

Government advice on home moving during the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak

This guidance applies to people buying or selling private residential homes which they intend to live in.

Published 26 March 2020

From: Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government

Contents

Buying and Selling Homes during this stay-at-home period

Advice to the public

Advice to industry

Buying and Selling Homes during this stay-at-home period

Given the situation in the UK with regard to the outbreak of coronavirus (COVID-19), we urge parties involved in home moving to adapt and be flexible to alter their usual processes.

There is no need to pull out of transactions, but we all need to ensure we are following guidance to stay at home and away from others at all times, including the specific measures for those who are presenting symptoms, self-isolating or shielding. Prioritising the health of individuals and the public must be the priority.

Where the property being moved into is vacant, then you can continue with this transaction although you should follow the guidance in this document on home removals. Where the property is currently occupied, we encourage all parties to do all they can to amicably agree alternative dates to move, for a time when it is likely that stay-at-home measures against coronavirus (COVID-19) will no longer be in place.

In the new emergency enforcement powers that the police have been given to respond to coronavirus, there is an exemption for critical home moves, in the event that a new date is unable to be agreed.

Recognising parties will need to alter common practice, we have sought to ease this process for all involved by:

1. Issuing this guidance, developed with Public Health England, to home buyers and those involved in the selling and moving process;
2. Agreeing with banks that mortgage offers should be extended where delay to completions takes place in order to prioritise safety; and
3. Working with Conveyancers to develop a standard legal process for moving completion dates.

Advice to the public

What does this mean for my property move which is scheduled whilst the stay-at-home measures to fight coronavirus (COIVD-19) apply?

Home buyers and renters should, where possible, delay moving to a new house while measures are in place to fight coronavirus (COVID-19).

Our advice is that if you have already exchanged contracts and the property is currently occupied then all parties should work together to agree a delay or another way to resolve this matter.

If moving is unavoidable for contractual reasons and the parties are unable to reach an agreement to delay, people must follow advice on staying away from others to minimise the spread of the virus.

In line with Government’s advice, anyone with symptoms, self-isolating or shielding from the virus, should follow medical advice which will mean not moving house for the time being, if at all possible. All parties should prioritise agreeing amicable arrangements to change move dates for individuals in this group, or where someone in a chain is in this group.

What if an extension goes beyond the terms of a mortgage agreement?

UK Finance have today confirmed that, to support customers who have already exchanged contracts for house purchases and set dates for completion, all mortgage lenders are working to find ways to enable customers who have exchanged contracts to extend their mortgage offer for up to three months to enable them to move at a later date.

If a customer’s circumstances change during this three month period or the terms of the house purchase change significantly and continuing with the mortgage would cause house buyers to face financial hardship, lenders will work with customers to help them manage their finances as a matter of urgency.

If your home is not yet on the market

Getting your home onto the market may be more challenging than usual in this period.There should be no visitors to your home. You can speak to Estate Agents over the phone and they will be able to give you general advice about the local property market and handle certain matters remotely but they will not be able to start actively marketing your home in the usual manner.

If you are thinking about selling, you can use this time to start gathering together all of the information you will need to provide to potential purchasers.

Advice for people to stay at home and away from others means you should not invite unnecessary visitors into your home, including: Property Agents to carry out a market appraisal or take internal photographs prior to marketing your home; and Energy Performance Certificate assessors.

Viewings

If your property is already on the market, you can continue to advertise it as being for sale but you should not allow people in to view your property.

There should not be any visitors into your home, and you should therefore not let people visit your property for viewings. Your agent may be able to conduct virtual viewings and you could speak to them about this possibility.

Accepting offers

The buying and selling process can continue during this period but you should be aware that the process is likely to take longer than normal.

You are free to continue to accept offers on your property, however the selling process may take longer.

Advice for people to stay at home and away from others means you should not invite visitors into your home, including prospective buyers or advisors.

Exchanging contracts

Once you have exchanged contracts, you have entered into a legal agreement to purchase that home.

If the property you are purchasing is unoccupied you can continue with the transaction.

If the property you are purchasing is currently occupied, we recommend that all parties should work to either delay the exchange of contracts until after the period where stay-at-home measures to fight coronavirus (COVID-19) are in place, or include explicit contractual provisions to take account of the risks presented by the virus.

Advice to industry

All businesses must follow the Government’s latest Guidance for employers and businesses on coronavirus (COVID-19).

Estate Agents

Estate Agents should ensure they are able to support clients during this period:

Agents should work with their clients and other agents to broker a new date to move where sales are due to complete on occupied properties in the current period where emergency measures are in place to fight coronavirus (COVID-19).

Agents should prioritise support for anyone with symptoms, self-isolating or shielding from the virus, and those they are in chain with, to agree a new date.

In line with advice for certain businesses to close, agents should not open branches to the public during this period, or visit people’s homes to carry out market appraisals.

Agents should ensure that employees can work from home, to support existing clients and advise potential new clients.
Agents should continue to progress sales where this can be done whilst following guidance to stay at home and away from others.

Agents should advise clients to be patient and not to exchange contracts unless the contracts have explicit terms to manage the timing risks presented by the virus.

Conveyancers

Conveyancers should continue to support the sales process as far as possible and should make sure their clients are aware of the difficulties of completing transactions in this period:

Conveyancers should continue to support the sales of unoccupied properties as far as possible.

Conveyancers should make every effort to support clients who are due to complete on occupied properties in the stay-at-home period to change this date.

Conveyancers should advise their clients who are ready to move not to exchange contracts on an occupied property unless they have made explicit provision for the risks presented by the virus.

Conveyancers should prioritise supporting anyone with symptoms, self-isolating or shielding from the virus and those they are in chain with, and we urge them to do all they can to help a new date to be agreed in these circumstances.

Surveyors

Surveyors should not expect to carry out non-urgent surveys in homes where people are in residence, and no inspections should take place if any person in the property is showing symptoms, self-isolating or being shielded. It may be possible to carry out some of your work online and also carry out urgent surveys on empty properties, or those where the occupants are out of the property or following guidance to stay at home and away from others.

Surveyors should follow the latest Government guidance which currently (26 March 2020) states that work carried out in people’s homes can continue, provided the tradesperson is well and has no symptoms of coronavirus (COVID-19).

It is important to ensure Government guidelines are followed, including maintaining a 2 metre distance from others, and washing their hands with soap and water often for at least 20 seconds (or using hand sanitiser gel if soap and water is not available).

No work should be carried out by a person who has coronavirus (COVID-19) symptoms, however mild.

Removals Firms

There will be people who have already committed to moving home; where possible we are encouraging them to delay their move but a small number of moves may need to go ahead. We would urge everyone to take all sensible precautions to ensure the move can happen safely.

Removers should honour their existing commitments where it is clear that the move can be done safely for the client and your own staff and it is clear that the moving date cannot be moved.

Removers should follow the latest Government guidance which currently (26 March 2020) states that work carried out in people’s homes can continue, provided the tradesperson is well and has no symptoms or coronavirus (COVID-19).

It is important to ensure Government guidelines are followed, including maintaining a 2 metre distance from others, and washing their hands with soap and water often for at least 20 seconds (or using hand sanitiser gel if soap and water is not available).

New Project - London Borough of Sutton

Sun, 19 May 2019 10:12:10 GMT

Having recently acquired 2 adjoining houses requiring total refurbishment with large gardens and a number of garages in the London Borough of Sutton we are now in the process of going through various designs with architects with a view to shortly submitting planning. This project will involve the conversion of the existing buildings to apartments with new build houses to the rear. We particularly like the design of these detached houses with south facing balconies to the master bedrooms.
Most of our acquisitions are derelict buildings, unmodernised and generally un-mortgageable so these properties ticked a lot of boxed for us as they are in a terrible state of repair requiring extensive modernisation and as such they are currently unsuitable for sale on the open market. As cash buyers with a good reputation locally we were approached directly by the executors and purchased the property off market.
Spring Developments are currently looking for similar projects in all areas of Surrey and South London.

2019

Fri, 04 Jan 2019 13:27:43 GMT

As we enter 2019 we look forward to releasing some exciting new developments this year. Since our launch in 2016 Spring Developments have established a strong brand image and solid reputation for delivering a wide range of quality bespoke projects ranging from house and flat refurbishments to flat conversions and new build schemes. Over the past few years we have worked closely with home owners, agents and architects to acquire, plan and develop a selection of fantastic projects, mostly targeted at the first time buyer market which will continue to be our goal for 2019 to provide high quality affordable accommodation within commutable areas.
As we enter into 2019 we look forward to finalising our new build project in Melville Avenue Croydon, a derelict care home we acquired in 2016 which is now an attractive new build block (pictured) offering a selection of high specification 1 & 2 bedroom apartments situated within only a few minutes walk from Lloyd Park Tram. We will be launching these apartments in the Spring with London Help To Buy through our agents Countrywide New Homes.
In February we commence build of our three flat conversion in Twickenham. The location of these flats are sure to be of interest to commuters & rugby fans being only 1 minutes walk from the station and very close to Twickenham Station. We expect to launch these apartments in Q+447974379727, although we may consider off plan sales in Q2. We have also have a derelict house undergoing substantial enlargement, remodelling and refurbishment on the South Coast which is due for completion in the Spring. A property in Putney that we will be remodelling and refurbishing and two other sites in planning. We also exchanged contracts on a new site in Sutton in December that we hope to have through planning and under construction before the end of the year.
London boroughs of Sutton & Croydon continue to be areas where we are keen to acquire new development sites, we are also very active in Surrey and the surrounding areas. Despite our fast expansion we continue to purchase on a cash basis, providing a discreet personal service with the ability to exchange quickly. We are particularly keen to speak directly with homeowners who have sites they feel may offer some potential for redevelopment with a view to appraising and securing them on a subject to planning basis. We are also happy to buy un-conditionally and if speed is important we can normally exchange contracts within a few days. In 2018 we purchased a number of derelict houses through probate from executors who wanted a hassle free quick turnaround. Along side our new developments we will continue to seek these properties 2019. In short we love property, we can see the potential where others can't, we perform quickly, always seeking to find a win win scenario for all parties involved! As family run business we pride ourselves in providing a personal service with great communication and as you will see from our testimonials people love working with us. So, no matter how big or small the project, it's always worth giving us a call!

Bring in additional services to service each of the properties, create new leases and modern interiors these flats have sold quickly to first time buyers and down sizers.

Refurbishment update

Wed, 29 Mar 2017 00:00:00 GMT

This is a subtitle for your new post

In only a few months we have transformed this run down 2 bedroom end of terraced house into a stunning refurbished 3 bedroom family home. The beneficiaries had initially agreed a sale to a first time buyer but the process was slow with countless legal questions & multiple surveys. After months of waiting around with the property sitting empty the buyers let them down and pulled out! The beneficiaries didn't want the house sitting empty for another 6 months and were looking for a quick sale so the agents contacted us as we had a track record of buying quickly. We did exactly what we said we would do and exchanged contracts in only 6 days.
