Development attitude Attitude change needed from command to demand led development The affordable housing industry has fundamentally been driven by need & funded by grant with an internally focused process. Development has been on a command basis where costs, quality and programme are heavily driven by statute Private development is demand led & margins are only made where aspirations are exceeded. A positive results driven environment is essential. ‘Managing the risk of open market sale’ Tony Pidgley, Harry Handlesman ... Would say ‘what a fantastic opportunity?

HOUSEHOLD TYPE The balance of household types in NW2 2 is in line with the Barnet and London averages. NW2, Camden and Brent generally have higher proportions of Young No Children than NW2 2. In line with London, there is a greater proportion of Families and Empty Nesters in NW2 2 (49.1%) than in NW2 or the boroughs shown.

Detail, detail, detail Most notably on higher floors balconies would be better placed facing west, where they benefit from increased sunlight.

Where possible a clear distinction between living areas is preferred and sought after. Kitchens protruding into living areas reduces the ability to utilise space for different needs. Hallway storage for all unit types is essential. This should also include plumbing provisions for a washing machine. For units with two bedrooms or more, en-suites to the master bedroom are essential. Without they are less sought after, less suited to current market demands and uncompetitive with nearby schemes.

With the reduction of Block A to 10 storeys there is potential to regain units by reducing the current average unit size. Increase the proportion of 1 bed units We have suggest the following should block a be reduced.: - Increasing unit allocation for Block A from 5 to 6 per floor. - Incorporating Blocks A, B and C as Outright Sale. -Block I designed for one beds units. - Unit size reduction in Blocks D and H to accommodate additional units. - Retail in Block D converted to residential. This produces a scheme a GDV of £000,000,000 assuming all units Outright Sale.

Above is our suggestion for a marketing budget to ensure the success. Given the two phases of the development we would advise that advertising is proportioned over the entire course of the development until the final completion of sale. Due to the timescales a show flat must be established in both Phase 1 & 2. All design, hoarding and pre launch material must be completed prior to the launch of Phase 1 and retained for Phase 2. Incentives must be adopted only if deemed necessary to aid sales rates.

This is the big one Home ownership 70% (2004) to 55% (2020) Private rented

10% (2003) to 26% (2020) For the first time in many years, home ownership falls and private rental tenure increases as a % of occupation

You couldn’t make it up! If even four years ago someone in the pub said guess what housing will look like .....!!

Retailers are among the most aggressive entrants in residential development. They work quickly & simply with absolute conviction in their focus to succeed savills
