ALLAN MORRIS
ALLAN MORRIS WORCESTERSHIRE

NE expert says that house prices will rise next year and then continue to do so for some years to come. Another says that house prices are 30 per cent overvalued and will fall. Meanwhile prices are soaring in central London, are stable in other places and still losing ground in a few more. But should we care so much about what is going on in general across Britain and how useful are comments in helping to keep the wheels of the property market turning? Certainly I dont think we need to heed these market pundits too much when they are commenting on such a broad basis. What I am fairly certain of is that many of them dont cant understand what is happening in Worcestershire right now. There is a big difference between the media experts who talk about the market and the estate agents who actually have to deal with it. It is easy to make grand over-arching pronouncements and predictions but estate agents have to move people whatever the market conditions. And they know how to do this because they are dealing with these matters every day. They understand how national, regional and even local financial issues affect their own market and work constantly to find ways of dealing with these conditions whatever they may be. Prior to 2007, when the market was storming away, it was much easier for owners and estate agents to sell property of course it was. Now it is not. Yet despite this there is an active market bubbling under the lugubrious surface. There are always buyers about whatever the market. It is just that now there arent so many of them they can afford to be choosy and are often in no rush all most frustrating and difficult for sellers. But well-located property, in good order and at a sensible market price, will find a buyer it always does. The skill here is in getting the best price. For other properties, perhaps where the years havent been so kind, that are less pleasing on the eye or in not quite such a sought-after location, things are a little more tricky but far from impossible. Personal circumstances do not dance to the tune of the property market. It is when the chips are down and one really has to sell and move on even in an adverse market that sellers find out who their real friends are. In these circumstances a market commentator wont be a lot of use. On the other hand an effective estate agent could surprise, surprise become a very good friend indeed.
ITH the property market chugging rather than roaring along, there are plenty of good deals to be had by anyone looking for a more modestly priced house. This is an area that traditionally stokes the market, with growth tending to work its way up from the bottom to the top. There is certainly a good choice in Worcester for under 150,000. One is 34 Oaklands, a well presented end of terrace to the east of the city and at the end of a cul-de-sac. It has good access to Worcestershire Royal Hospital and the M5. The accommodation on the ground floor includes a hall, a kitchen with an integrated double oven, a gas hob, a cooker and a breakfast bar and a sitting room with a feature fireplace and woodeffect laminate flooring. There is also a conservatory currently used as a dining room with french doors to the rear garden. On the first floor is a double bedroom and a bathroom with a shower over the bath. Other features of the property include double glazing, off-road parking and a rear garden with a patio and gravelled areas.

Half-timbered house at heart of country estate

OLD Castle Farm Estate in Evendine Lane, Colwall, at the foot of the Malvern Hills, is described as having the best views in the area. The main residence dates from the 15th century and it is referred to in an ancient poem as having a series of ponds, streams, rose gardens and lovely walks. It has been sympathetically restored to create an exceptional home with exposed beams, leaded light windows and a warm and happy atmosphere. An adjoining wing has been designed and built with an oak frame to complement the original property. Together they provide four reception rooms and seven bedrooms all of immense character. The detached Bothy has been extensively restored and it is used for leisure purposes but could easily be a self-contained cottage. The nearby period timber framed Saxon barn has exterior oak cladding. Inside is a five-bay steel framed barn with a lean-to workshop. There is also an ancient brick-built open sheep feeder barn with a pitch tiled roof thought to be one of the oldest in England. The Wain House is screened

We can help first time buyers with their goal

PERSIMMON Homes has welcomed the announcement that 2,100 of its new properties across England will be available to buy through FirstBuy, the Governments initiative to help first time buyers get onto the property ladder. The developer has been awarded 1.4 million from the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA). Some of the grant will be used to provide the first-time buyer market with 82 new homes across the south Midlands. As a result, buyers looking to take their first step onto the property ladder are now being encouraged to contact their regional Persimmon Homes office or log onto the website persimmonhomes.com/firstbuy for information on how the scheme could help turn their home owning dreams into a reality. Having been awarded the largest allocation of the previous Governments successful HomeBuy Direct scheme, Persimmon is well placed to help first time buyers understand and fully utilise the opportunity that FirstBuy represents. Richard Oldroyd, deputy managing director for Persimmon Homes South Midlands, said: The expertise of our sales advisers in helping people apply for, and buy through, Government funded equity loan schemes is second to none having assisted more than 2,000 purchasers to buy their first home with the previous HomeBuy Direct scheme. FirstBuy is offered through equity loan funding of up to 20 per cent of the purchase price split equally between the Homes and Communities Agency and Persimmon. Buyers are then required to raise funding (a mortgage plus a deposit) of at least 80 per cent of the purchase price. This means that for a property worth 160,000 buyers would need to secure a mortgage of 120,000, with a deposit of 8,000. Mr Oldroyd said: FirstBuy provides a fantastic opportunity, giving thousands of people the ability to own their own home. We are confident that we will have a new home at a development to suit the needs of local buyers who have been striving to own their own home previously, with further details on our locations found on our website Military personnel have been given top priority for help with house buyinghelp and will be among the first to benefit from the Government scheme. Mike Farley, chief executive of Persimmon, said: It is important that we give our Armed Forces a helping hand onto the property ladder. We are delighted to be able to support more than 2,100 troops and other first time buyers in the purchase of their new homes right across the country thanks to the Government funding in the FirstBuy Scheme.

executive at the HCA, said: Thanks to FirstBuy more than 10,000 first time buyers will be able to realise the dream of owning their home, while house builders will benefit from an additional source of sales, giving a muchneeded boost to the development industry. For buyers who do not meet the requirements of FirstBuy is expected to help 10,000 families get onto the property ladder but for who do not meet the requirements Persimmon also offers its own shared equity scheme and homes that can be bought through the Kickstart II initiative.

A fashionable Italian-made felt doll was a big earner at Brightwells recent sale of childhood memories
HE Italian toy maker Lenci created the worlds most fashionable felt dolls in the 1920s and 30s commanding the most exclusive and sophisticated section of the market at a time when the French manufacturers were in decline. At Brightwells recent sale of antique dolls and toys an example wearing a winter costume with colourful felt appliqu sold for 500. Lenci used specially dyed and printed fabrics for their dolls whose outfits were based on the most stylish childrens costumes of the time and their dress consequently is all important. Two large bisque headed dolls represented the work of Jumeau, the most prolific and heavily collected of French makers. A 31 in high example with an open mouth and the characteristic heavy brows was sold for 2,900 by some very determined bidders while a 1907 example made 900 despite extensive damage to the head. German made bisque headed dolls were led in price by an appealing Kestner 146 in its original costume. It sold for 520 with a 29 in Kaulintz making 270. Many of the German dolls in the sale came from a collection formed in the 1960s by a Birmingham family. Fully jointed dolls made completely of bisque are rare because so few survived the nursery and this madea Kestner example, at 300, an attractive purchase. An Oriental baby dollsold for 200 while a mulatto Kammer & Reinhardt in its original box made 250. A key wound walking Gebruder Heubach sold for 210 and a large Simon & Halbig jointed girl with original wig and costume made 600. Meanwhile, a composition

Once costumed as an old Welsh countrywoman the figure had stood for decades in the window of a watch repairer in Talgarth, Powys. It sold for 500 despite its lack of clothes and key. An English waxed pedlar doll with a basket of wares made 440; a two-faced waxed girl selling (250) and a French type papier mache (400). A large box of 19th century dolls house furniture had lain undisturbed in the attic of a Herefordshire farmhouse since 1939 when, with other family treasures it was sent down from London for safekeeping on the eve of war. The furniture included a group of ivory pieces that made 210, despite damage, while an oak draughts table made120. A flower printed drawing room suite
with gilt detail made 260, a feather suite including a rare deportment chair (90), a small turned wooden dressing table set (100) and a dolls house family (380). Dolls houses and furnishings from other sellers included a London town house, from about1900 with an unusual working lift (300) and an 1880s house with an unusual variety of windows (also 300). A German made warehouse made 190; a fully stocked grocers shop by Gottschalk (600) and a Lines Brothers wood and tinplate motor caravan (320) Among metal toys an MG friction driven dark green racing car with Lt Col. Goldie Gardners signature on the bonnet in its original box 230 with an Arnold US Zone Germany clockwork liner also in its box selling for 230. A Shackleton Foden constructional scale model in its box and with tools made 290; a boxed Dinky Supertoys Foden Diesel eight-wheeled wagon, (210); an Ever Ready blue Guy van dating from the 1950s (250) and a group of three unboxed Supertoys lorries in excellent condition (270). Fourteen later Britains tractors in their original packaging sold for 420 and each of all these prices emphasised the importance of condition in a section of the market where playworn examples generally have to be sold in very large quantities. Constance King, the consultant who catalogued the sale, said: Most of our buyers have bought for many years and, as in so many areas of the market, there are few new enthusiasts to purchase the lower end items. The prices achieved by dolls and dolls house furnishings were however very encouraging and reflected an upward trend seen also at specialist fairs over the last year.

Kidderminster stagecoach heads south

A 19th century oil painting of the Birmingham to Kidderminster stagecoach, The Invincible, sold for 3,500 when it went under the hammer in Shrewsbury. The painting, which was consigned to Halls auction of fine paintings, silver and jewellery at its Welsh Bridge saleroom was by an unknown English artist and was sold to a coaching enthusiast from southern England. Owned by Godfrey and Co, the stagecoach ran to the Lion Hotel in Kidderminster from the Swan Hotel, Birmingham. Street and owned by the lords of the manor, the Foleys and the earls of Dudley. The auctions top priced painting at 5,200 was by William Shayer and depicted a ploughmans family enjoying lunch at the edge of a field with their horses beside them. An accomplished artist, Shayer specialised in accurate portrayals of the English countryside and rural life. A gouache by John Beer titled The Grand National, 1907, which showed the winner Eremon, ridden by Alfred Newey and Rathvale, without its jockey, jumping a fence together, sold for 1,110. The buyer was the grandson of the artist owner of Eremon.
