On Ice
MSC Marketing
By Nick Churton, Mayfair International Realty
October 8, 2010
In real estate it is both nicer and easier to give and receive messages of optimism and assurance. No one ever wants to hear from a pessimistic broker or agent. But then no one wants to hear from a stupid one either. Pessimism should never be confused with pragmatism or objectivity. It would be wrong not to prepare sellers and ensure that they are in the best possible position to make the very most of the market we are in. Property is sold by people with their feet on the ground, not by those with their heads in the clouds – or worse! (More …)

The Telegraph have recently re-launched their property search section and this provides Mayfair International Realty members with outstanding on-line expose.
Mayfair International Realty have played a key role in the development of the new site and we think you will find it much clearer and easier to navigate than the old one. The listings are displayed in a much more appealing way and we think they are easier to find too as you can switch currencies, add a “keyword” search using selected words from the listing description and filter your search by either price or time on the market.
We hope you will find the attached piece useful for agents to show to sellers and prospective sellers.
Remember – Telegraph Online is the Telegraph’s award winning website and the UK’s most visited quality newspaper website with 32.5 million unique global users monthly (a year-on-year increase of over 28.7%) – with 276 million page views monthly.

Netting a Winner
MSC Marketing
July 8, 2010
Nick Churton of Mayfair International Realty, based in London, comments on the property market after a busy spring.
For a few weeks this summer the English turned their attention from one national obsession and concentrated on another. During the soccer World Cup most eyes were on the English national side. Until that is they failed dismally and didn’t even make the quarter finals.
In the US, soccer does not generate the fervour that it does in England. But it might do soon. If the forecasts are correct every state in the union will have a population with a Latino majority by about 2045. If the English are considered football crazy then those from the Latin countries are even crazier. They have all that same enthusiasm but without any of the British reserve. This time England managed a draw with the US team. In World Cups to follow they may not be so fortunate. (More …)

UK Real Estate Briefing
2010 Election Special
By Nick Churton, Mayfair International Realty
12th April, 2010
As far as the real estate market is concerned it should not really make much difference which party is in power. Any administration will have to deal with the serious aftermath of the global credit crunch and recession, together with the UK’s current national debt, running at over £900 billion ($1,521 billion) – or £14,684 ($23,332) for every man woman and child. This will inevitably mean higher taxes and interest rates, a freeze in public sector pay and a lowering in public investment. Strangely none of the political parties vying for power seem to be saying too much about this at the moment. (More …)

Florida: a mix of different personalities
MSC Marketing
A recent piece in the Sunday Times confirmed that British buyers are returning to their favourite destinations to look for second homes in favour of less tried and tested markets. They say “Florida’s property market has collapsed, but with the worst over, it could be time to swoop in the Sunshine State”The article continues “It’s freezing outside, there are at least a couple more months to go before the weather warms up, and the idea of a holiday home in the sun is probably pretty tempting right now. But Spain’s not hot enough, and the Caribbean and the Seychelles are too expensive. Could Florida be the answer?
With its country-club lifestyle and balmy climate, the Sunshine State has traditionally been popular with British buyers. In the past 18 months, however, it has fallen out of favour, as prices have come crashing down by 50% or more from their peak. Florida had the second highest foreclosure rate — the equivalent of repossessions — in America in 2008, affecting one in 22 properties. Many remain empty and abandoned, after being seized by the banks. (More …)

Central London Leads Market Recovery in UK
MSC Marketing
January 12, 2010
By Nick Churton, Mayfair International Realty
Since the beginning of 2009 the Central London property market has confounded just about every one involved with it. The weak pound has attracted overseas buyers who have been absent for some years. Buyers from France and Italy have been particularly notable.
But buyers are being choosy. Locations such as Mayfair, Belgravia, Kensington and Knightsbridge have been especially popular but only the best property examples are generating special interest. Condition is very important, as is interior finish. Good is no longer good enough. Exceptional finish is now the accepted norm if a house or apartment is going to get a top price. This is the international effect: expectations are high and this is certainly having an influence on how London homeowners modernise and improve their homes. (More …)
