Where in the World? What makes a perfect second-home and which locations are in the most demand? Andrew Shirley reveals the results of an exclusive survey for Private View, while Knight Frank’s head of International Residential, Paddy Dring picks the perfect portfolios for two welltravelled individuals from the world of property and business. Andrew Shirley Knight Frank Residential Research 14% 3 houses 49 % Figure 2 Favoured location type for first property in second-homes portfolio 6% Location type Coastal % City Rural Ski 0% Figure 3 Favoured location type for overall second-home portfolio Location type 13 % Coastal % City 29 Another interesting result from the survey is the popularity of cities as second-home In terms of countries, France was the most popular second-home choice, accounting for almost a quarter of the properties in the survey respondents’ portfolios. This popularity can be explained by the country’s many second-home options across all location types. France was the most popular or second-most popular choice in all categories (see figure 4 overleaf). 2 houses % However, for many of the very wealthy who are constantly on the move, it is time with their families that is the most valuable commodity. A second home that is relatively nearby allows them to make the most of weekends without spending large amounts of time travelling. 1 house 2 4 These findings echo a broader trend for “staycations” with more and more people holidaying at home to save money or travel time. For UK-based second-home buyers, in particular, the strength of the euro has made overseas purchases significantly more expensive in many cases. Given that peace and quiet and outdoor space to “get away from it all” are an important part of second-home ownership for many people (see table 1 overleaf), the popularity of cities could seem a little contradictory. But when one takes into account that second homes, in many cases, are also an investment, it is not surprising. London, Paris and New York, were the most popular city locations and their property markets have proved resilient to the global economic downturn. 0 houses 12 % 40 A significant proportion apparently like staying in their home country so much that three out of the four properties chosen for their portfolios were in their own country (see figure 1). Number of houses 14 According to the results, 66% would choose a property in their own country as the first house in their portfolio, while only a quarter wouldn’t feature their home country at all. Overall, urban apartments or townhouses accounted for 36% of our respondents’ portfolios compared with 29% for houses by the sea and 22% for rural retreats (see figure 3). While a property in a ski resort is seen as a desirable part of their portfolios for 13% of respondents, only 6% nominated it as their first choice. Over a fifth, however, would choose a home in the snow as the fourth property in their perfect secondhome portfolio. Figure 1 The number of houses in their country of residence the wealthy have in their perfect second-homes portfolio 5% The survey asked wealth advisors to create the perfect portfolio of four second homes around the world on behalf of their clients. Respondents were also asked to specify whether the properties in their portfolios would be in city, coastal, rural or ski locations. locations. As many respondents opted for a city property as the first choice in their portfolio (see figure 2) as did those who picked a coastal location. 22 % Home is where the heart is for many of the respondents to the Private View Where in the World? second homes survey.

Portfolio 1 Helen Green Luxury British Interior Designer and Company Director Perfect second-home portfolio 1 A Tuscan farmhouse, Italy 2 A beach house on the US east coast 3 A family house in St James, Barbados 4 A tranquil property in rural France Paddy Dring’s verdict Helen’s portfolio selections emphasise how important space to relax and unwind with her family away from city life is to her. She also uses her overseas travels and holidays as a time for inspiration and developing new ideas for her business. This means design, local architecture, culture, food and magnificent colourful landscapes are a vital part of any second-home choice. 1 4 KnightFrank.com/RSI110327 KnightFrank.com/RSI110447 This château in northern Gascony in southwest France offers the perfect idyllic retreat, while the stunning traditional architecture and 42 acres of land and gardens will no doubt provide huge amounts of inspiration. Priced at €3.5m, the château has seven bedrooms and a swimming pool (see p94). This beautiful six-bedroomed Tuscan property has breathtaking views of the Val d’Orcia, a World Heritage Site. It should perfectly satisfy Helen’s desire to be surrounded by a mosaic of colours and textures including Cypress trees and olive groves. Priced at €6m, it includes 16 acres of land and 1,000 olive trees. 2 3 Helen Green Luxury British Interior Designer and Company Director KnightFrank.com/RSI102680 Helen Green Design has become synonymous with the creation of quality interiors for high-end private residential, commercial and hotel clients. KnightFrank.com/USH20263 The Windmill House in The Hamptons is one of the area’s most coveted properties and has about 40 metres of ocean frontage. This is reflected in the $17m price tag, but its location means Helen is close to one of her favourite cities, New York. Seashells priced at US$2.45m, is a threestorey, three-bedroomed townhouse in the exclusive Mahogany Bay complex just feet from the water’s edge. It echoes the colonial feel of Coral Reef Club and offers amazing views and the perfect location for a young family on a stunning beach. Helen finds creative inspiration from her global travels and creates sketchbooks recording architecture fashion, colour and atmosphere. Recent projects include The Berkeley, Knightsbridge; The spa at Coral Reef Club, Barbados; a luxurious ski chalet in Val d’Isere and private residences in London, Sussex, and Gloucestershire. Helen lives in Chelsea, London, with her husband and young family and owns a second home in rural West Sussex, UK.

Portfolio 2 Luca Del Bono Perfect second-home portfolio 1 An idyllic retreat in Sicily, Italy 2 A house in Havana, Cuba 3 An apartment on one of Rome’s glorious piazzas 4 A chalet near the ski slopes in a top European ski resort Entrepreneur, restaurateur and hospitality guru Paddy Dring’s verdict Interestingly, the first choice in Luca’s portfolio is a property near where he was born. This ties in closely with the results of our survey and suggests that spending time with family and old friends in a relaxed setting is an important way for today’s busy entrepreneurs and business people to unwind. His other choices suggest that character, the hospitality industry and being near the centre of the action will always be very important to him, even when not at work. 1 2 KnightFrank.com/RSI110607 As yet we don’t believe the Havana property market can really supply the opportunity Luca is looking for. Most properties available to overseas purchasers are on large purposebuilt complexes rather than period townhouses oozing with charm and character. KnightFrank.com/RSI090170 Villa Favola in Sicily, in the Gulf of Solanto east of Palermo, has great sea views and plenty of room for Luca to relax and entertain in a secluded setting. The price is €2.2m. 3 The stunning Campo de’ Fiori We would suggest, therefore, that Luca bides his time and invests in a property on nearby Grand Cayman where he can closely monitor developments in Cuba and then strike when the right opportunity presents itself. South Sound, just east of George Town, is one of the island’s most desirable and established communities and this three-bedroomed house with two guest apartments on a one-acre plot and priced at US$3.95m should prove a good investment. 3 KnightFrank.com/RSI110477 This two-bedroomed apartment on the Campo de’ Fiori is great value at €1.35m for such a prime location, which puts Luca right in the centre of Rome. 6 PRIVATE VIEW KnightFrank.com WHERE IN THE WORLD? 4 Overall, the UK was the second-most popular choice in our Where in the World? survey, with the US, Italy and Switzerland also attracting interest across the board (see table 2). Unsurprisingly, Spain and the Caribbean scored strongly as ideal coastal locations. Other countries that were picked, but did not make it into the top five for any category included Dubai, Bali, Monaco and the Maldives. KnightFrank.com/RSI091051 4 When it came to nominating which factors were the most important when choosing a second home, climate came top, closely followed by views, gardens and peace and quiet (see table 2). Technology, modern design and concierge services did not make it into the top 10, although security was considered a concern. Table 1 Most important factors when choosing a second home Factor Chalet Eglantier will provide Luca with the perfect opportunity to unwind in stylish surroundings, while satisfying his need for high-octane fun. Located in Courchevel 1850, arguably Europe’s most fashionable ski resort, the property combines an enviable ski-in, ski-out location with a chic modern interior that includes a swimming pool and spa area. The five-bedroom, fivebathroom chalet, which is close to the Pralong ski lift, has an asking price of €16m (see p93). 1 7.9 Views 2 7.8 Garden/grounds 3 7.4 Peace & quiet 4 7.3 Transport links 5 7.0 Restaurants 6 6.4 Sporting facilities 7 6.4 Security 8 6.3 Cultural attractions 9 6.3 10 6.3 Traditional architecture Figure 4 Most popular country in second-home portfolios Country UK Switzerland US Other 2 21 7% % Italy % France 3% Luca Del Bono Entrepreneur, restaurateur and hospitality guru Climate 30 For more details of the properties in Helen’s second-home portfolio please use the web address specified on each image.

Simon Gammon (SG) I have been advising on using debt to purchase some of the UK’s most desirable properties for the past 15 years and set up Knight Frank Finance in 2007. I know the heads of credit at many of the lending organisations and a lot of my time is spent building relationships with them. This means the business can go straight to the decision makers when helping its clients. At the moment we are busier than we have ever been. PV What would you say are the key benefits of using Knight Frank Finance? SG A lot of it comes down to the relationships we have built up with a wide variety of lenders. This not only allows us to access deals not available to other brokers, but it also allows us to get decisions very quickly even where the circumstances are very complex. For example, many of our clients are from overseas, they may have no income in the UK and will often be buying their property through some sort of financial trust-based structure. Even though they are very rich individuals, a lot of lenders are not set up to deal with them because of the complexity. By working closely with private banks who understand these situations, we can source the necessary finance, often at better rates than the High Street. We also act as “advocates” for our clients, ensuring that their cases are presented to lenders in the most favourable way. Knight Frank Finance has advised on mortgages in excess of £2bn for its clients over the past two years. Managing Partner Simon Gammon explains why the service offered by this independent arm of Knight Frank is proving so popular. PV Are there any new lenders coming into the market now? SG Absolutely. We are working with banks in countries that were not hit as hard by the financial crisis. They are really focussing on gaining new business in the UK at the moment. They perceive, correctly in my view, that many wealthy people here are not receiving the level of service they expect from their existing UK private bank and are trying to capitalise on that. We are building strong relationships with these banks and are able to offer some very attractive deals to new clients. PV What size loans do you typically arrange? SG There is no minimum deal size for new or remortgages. We pride ourselves on helping our clients and their families with all their mortgage requirements. For example, we often arrange funding when a child is studying in the UK and needs a flat near their college or university. We do, however, specialise in ultra-flexible mortgages from over £1m to in excess of £50m. Our approach is all about building long-term relationships. Our high level of personal service means we add a lot of value to any debt requirements. A great many of our overseas clients have quite complicated financial arrangements. They really appreciate the effort we put in to helping create bespoke mortgage solutions for them. Despite being part of the Knight Frank business, we are completely independent and will help anybody regardless of which estate agent they are buying through. To contact Simon or any of his team please email finance@knightfrank.com or phone +44 (0)20 8166 7800. Turn the page to find out how Knight Frank Finance has literally helped some of its clients achieve their dreams. PV Do you have a typical client? SG We deal with a wide variety of clients, from first-time buyers to billionaires. I specialise in helping ultra-high-net-worth individuals and have advised a number of billionaires recently. It often works out to be more cost effective for them to borrow money at the very low rates we can secure, than to move funds out of their existing investments. KnightFrank.com PRIVATE VIEW 9 focus on knight frank finance family reunited When Dutch businessman Ruud Jonker needed a mortgage to help him buy the house that would bring his family back under one roof again he turned to Knight Frank Finance. Private View paid the family a visit at their new home in picturesque East Sussex. Words: Andrew Shirley Photography: Hugh Nutt As the CEO of a small but successful international insurance broker, Ruud Jonker knows the importance of superlative customer service in winning and retaining business. Given that delivering bespoke solutions for clients operating in highly specialised sectors around the world is Mr Jonker’s area of expertise, it is easy to see why he appreciated Knight Frank Finance’s approach to finding him the right mortgage deal. And chatting to Mr Jonker in the idyllic fiveacre grounds of his East Sussex farmhouse complete with traditional oast, near the 10 PRIVATE VIEW village of Icklesham, it becomes clear just how important securing his mortgage was. Buying the property, which the Jonkers had moved into just a few weeks earlier, wasn’t a typical case of moving house, but the achievement of his ambition to provide a home where his entire family could be together again. The journey began when Mr Jonker’s three daughters, Fleur, Sophie and Esmée all fell in love with England after attending language courses during the school holidays. So smitten were the girls with the country, its culture and people that they were soon asking to attend boarding school there. Torn between letting the girls follow their dreams and saying goodbye to them for weeks at a time, Mr Jonker and his wife Netty reluctantly agreed. “I think maybe they had read too much Enid Blyton,” laughs Mrs Jonker. But after starting at Ashford School in Kent – chosen for its handy proximity to the Channel Tunnel – the girls quickly settled into boarding school life. “England is just so much more exciting than Holland,” explains Sophie. Mrs Jonker, however, quickly began to dread the four-hour drive from their home near KnightFrank.com focus on knight frank finance (Right) Happy Families – Ruud and Netty Jonker, with their daughters Fleur, Sophie and Esmée in the garden of their new house in East Sussex. explore.” Mr Jonker, meanwhile, had often been in London for up to 40 business trips a year and the city was virtually a second home to him. Finding the right house took about a year and a half, but in the end, as so often happens, it was love at first sight. “I hadn’t even seen the house, but was totally entranced by the gardens, every time you turned a corner you saw something new,” says Mrs Jonker. “It was also close to the school and not far from London and the coast. I phoned up Ruud and told him to cancel all our other viewings that day.” Rotterdam to Ashford, often undertaken more than twice a week. “That was when I started to think a more permanent move for all of us would make sense,” she says. “By the time Esmée, our youngest, had finished university they would have been studying for almost 10 years; that would have been a lot of driving.” Moving lock-stock-and-barrel to a different country might seem daunting, but both Mr and Mrs Jonker had spent a lot of time in England and had no hesitation in leaving Holland. “I’m a real Anglophile,” says Mrs Jonker, pointing to the many boxes of Emma Bridgewater china still waiting to be unpacked. “I actually left home when I was 17 and worked in a hotel in London. I love the history and all the old places. I’ve already joined the National Trust and can’t wait to KnightFrank.com With his mind made up for him, Mr Jonker’s task was now to buy the house. “They make the decisions and I have to pay for them,” he says good-naturedly. But, frustratingly, despite running a profitable international business, this wasn’t as easy as it should have been. “Dutch banks aren’t remotely interested in financing a property purchase overseas, and because I have no income in the UK the banks here weren’t keen either. They were all still so cautious after the financial crisis in 2008.” “In my case Julian Ward quickly found a private bank that he thought would be interested and then spent a lot of time going through all the numbers with them until they were happy to provide the funds required at a very competitive rate,” explains Mr Jonker. “I still had to give them lots of information about my company’s financial performance, but without Julian to make my case I don’t think my application would have been successful if I had approached the bank directly,” he adds. Luckily Mr Jonker had been introduced to Knight Frank Finance when looking at another property, which was being sold by Knight Frank. “I phoned up and asked if they would be interested in helping out even though the house I was buying wasn’t on the market with them. They immediately said yes.” The story almost didn’t have a happy ending. “When we arrived for the first time the house was full of insects and spiders, you could see all the cracks and imperfections, and it didn’t look nearly so cosy without any furniture,” says Mrs Jonker. “The girls and I decided we had made a big mistake and we were going to try and sell it without telling Rudy,” she laughs. It was from this point onwards that Knight Frank Finance’s professionalism and one-to-one service really struck a chord with Mr Jonker. The difference he says is that you are dealing with one person who you know is working hard on your behalf and who you can phone up directly whenever you need to speak to them. Luckily, after a few weeks, and the arrival of their pictures and other treasured possessions the empty house became a home once more and it was time to fall in love all over again. “Knight Frank Finance literally did bring my family back together,” says a very contented Mr Jonker. PRIVATE VIEW 11 LONDON “I’ve sold properties from Twickenham to Totteridge and sometimes it feels like I know London as well as any Black Cab driver.” Noel Flint, Head of London Residential 2% 2% 2% Asia CIS North America £2.4m South America Middle East £2.2m Africa Russia £2.0m India Europe £2.5m £2.3m £2.1m Noel Flint Head of London Residential Private View How long have you been involved with the top end of the London property market? Neil Flint I joined Knight Frank’s London team in 1985 and, prior to taking over my current role earlier this year, ran our Knightsbridge office for 15 years. I’ve sold properties from Twickenham to Totteridge and sometimes it feels like I know London as well as any Black Cab driver. PV Which areas of London have you seen grow in popularity? NF In the 1970s and much of the 80s Notting Hill was really quite edgy, The buyers weren’t really interested to start with because it wasn’t in Belgravia, their preferred area. I knew, though, that it really was the perfect house for them. Later, a year after they had moved in, they told me they were utterly thrilled with it. It is very rewarding when you can combine your knowledge of the market and understanding of people to create perfect matches like that; and that your buyers trust you enough to let you do it. PV Has there been a sale that was particularly memorable? NF Well, selling The Old Rectory in Chelsea for £25m in the early 90s sticks in my mind because it is simply the best house in Chelsea and one of the top 10 in London. But the most satisfying sale was the Kensington house of Conrad Black, the Canadian media mogul. PV How has the market performed recently and what is the outlook for the next few years? NF I’ve worked through two recessions and it’s amazing how resilient the London market has been. Prices did fall after the recent credit crisis, but bounced back within a year. The big difference now from when I first started selling Jan 11 Apr 11 Jul 10 Oct 10 Jan 10 Apr 10 Jul 09 Oct 09 Jan 09 but following the “Big Bang” when the financial sector was deregulated in 1986 a lot of UK and US bankers, attracted by the large white stucco houses, started to spend their newfound bonuses there. More recently, Westminster, particularly the area round Queen Anne’s Gate. It was as off the map until about five years ago. Today, I would identify Primrose Hill as the most recent hot spot – values per sq ft are sometimes exceeding Regent’s Park prices.

People, particularly from overseas, see their London houses as fantastic investments and seem to have very little desire to sell. Buyers from the Middle East bought heavily in the 1970s and most of them haven’t sold yet. PV Where is your perfect London house? NF I would choose one of the houses with off-street parking on the west side of the Little Boltons in Chelsea. It’s a very quiet street and the houses there, although not huge, have wonderful proportions, high ceilings, stone staircases and good-sized gardens. They would sell for about £15m.

We let properties varying from £250 to £25,000 a week, literally studios to Victorian Villas.” Tim Hyatt, Head of Residential Lettings Private View How long have you been involved with the top end of the London lettings market? Tim Hyatt Since 1992. I took over Knight Frank’s Residential Lettings team in 2003. The team has grown from 50 people to almost 120 and we operate in 16 prime central London locations and three in the Home Counties. Prior to that, I worked for another major central London agency. PV Are there any properties or deals you have been involved with that were particularly memorable? TH They are all memorable, but it’s the variety and size of the deals PV What is it that makes the London lettings market so exciting and unique? TH It really comes back to my previous answer – it’s the sheer diversity of properties and the eclectic range of people who rent them that makes it unique. We deal with graduates to billionaires. Actors and pop stars who always need somewhere to stay in London, captains of industry from around the world and everybody in between. It’s a market that’s always on the move. Also, we help relocate some exceptionally influential people, who’s stay in London can make fundamental changes within their own business and our economy. PV How has the market performed recently and what is the outlook for the next few years? TH You could say it has gone from one extreme to another. After the credit crunch we had more stock on our books than ever before as people who were unable to sell were forced to become “accidental landlords”. Some of our offices saw rental volumes quadruple, which had an inevitable negative effect on values. Over the last 18 months the market shifted dramatically, with strong demand chasing lower supply, pushing rents to new highs. With global economic uncertainty hitting the banking sector in recent months I suspect the market balance will shift again, I dont expect a tenant’s market – but landlords will need to work harder to secure target returns.

TH Some would say go for emerging locations on the fringes of London where yields are higher. But I would always stick with prime central London areas such as Chelsea and Kensington where you have good transport links for corporate tenant who need to access the City. Yields may not be as high, but gross rents should cover the cost of finance and capital appreciation will be higher.

At Knight Frank that is very important to us.” Andrew Hay, Head of Country Residential Business £2.2m CIS Africa Asia North America £2.0m Australasia Russia £1.8m India Europe £1.6m £1.9m £1.7m Andrew Hay Head of Country Residential Business Private View How long have you been involved with the country house market? Andrew Hay I left the Royal Agricultural College, Cirencester, 29 years ago and joined Knight Frank as a negotiator in the Country House Department having undertaken work experience with Knight Frank Edinburgh where I was dismissed, aged 22 years, (very unfairly I would like to think) for shredding some title deeds. PV Has there been a sale that was particularly memorable? AH It was a sale in the 1980s of a very beautiful Elizabethan house in Wiltshire with a guide of £750,000. The vendors were downsizing and hoping to be able to buy a small replacement house and two flats in London for their children, but the budget was tight. The sale was spectacular, 100% over the guide. This enabled them to not only buy the flats in London and replace the house with something far better than they expected, but also to secure a good pension for the rest of their lives. It was not the biggest, quickest or most spectacular sale, but it transformed the lives of the family. At Knight Frank that is very important to us. PV What explains the enduring popularity of the country house? AH For domestic buyers the old adage “every Englishman’s home is his castle” is deeply ingrained in our psyche. This and the quality of life that the countryside provides, particularly for bringing up children, is passed on from generation to generation. It is part of our DNA. Overseas buyers appear to have a very firm view of what country living here is about, having seen films like Brideshead Revisited, Downton Abbey and the Jane Austen adaptations. They visualise a beautiful period house in unspoilt countryside, when they come to this country they are determined to find it. PV How has the market performed recently and what is the outlook for the next few years? AH The country market was exposed to the financial challenges of the Lehman fallout, but the market in the south east of England (within 100 miles of London) has recovered and is now close to, or in some cases exceeding, the record levels seen prior to the crisis in 2007. Further afield, however, the economy continues to affect demand and tough trading conditions remain, although demand for agricultural land remains very strong.

Our countryside remains a unique asset that our planning system continues to preserve and new generations enhance. We cannot make any more of it and with ever growing global wealth it remains a robust asset that both domestic and overseas buyers aspire to own. PV Describe what your own perfect country house would be like? AH Something classical in stone or mellow brick approached through informal parkland, with views of the sea and a small harbour big enough for a 20m boat. My beautiful wife would kill me if I did not include a substantial stone stable block and, most importantly, a polo pitch (capable of being used for rugby when she is not looking).

Our buyers now come from all over the world.” Paddy Dring, Head of International Residential % of overseas buyers buying prime properties Prime global cities residential market performance 180 80 60 London New York (Manhattan) 40 Paris Hong Kong Paddy Dring Head of International Residential Private View How long have you been involved with the world’s most luxurious second-home markets? Paddy Dring We set up Knight Frank’s International desk about 22 years ago. Back then we covered France and southern Spain. Now our London team includes 20 specialists and our network of 45 associates is spread across all prime Europe, the Caribbean and New York. Our residential business also extends into Asia, Africa and Australia. PV During that time which locations have really grown in popularity? PD Prime locations such as France, Italy and parts of the Caribbean have maintained their popularity, but the areas people are interested in now go far beyond the traditional hot spots such as the Cote D’Azur. Cheap air travel has opened up access, to many new locations. One of the biggest changes, however, is how much more international the market is. Our buyers now come from all over the world. PV Has there been one sale that was particularly memorable? PD There have been many, but some of the most exciting deals I have been involved with have been completely private. What gives me the greatest satisfaction is to see a very happy vendor and a very happy purchaser – a second-home purchase is often the fulfilment of a long-held dream. PV How has the international second-home market performed recently and what is the outlook for the next few years? PD The fact that buyers come from so many different locations now 2011 Q1 2010 Q3 2010 Q4 2010 Q2 2010 Q1 2009 Q3 2009 Q4 2009 Q2 2009 Q1 2008 Q3 2008 Q4 2008 Q2 2008 Q1 20 2007 Q3 52% 120 100 2007 Q4 25% 140 2007 Q1 London 15% 2007 Q2 Singapore (index Q1 2007 = 100) 160 New York means the international property market has a very strong underlying base. There has, however, been an undoubted flight to quality with core locations. PV Where in the world would your own perfect second home be? PD I am not sure I would be given the choice; my children have fallen under the spell of Mustique while my wife loves the culture of Italy. I am very happy in either of them.
