One of our favourites at Capital Value Surveyors Limited , 𝐖𝐡𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐭 😍 Earlier this week, I was back at this Grade II* listed building on the northern side of the Thames. 💡 The block was designed by the architectural partnership of Thomas Archer and Arthur Green, who also designed Cambridge Gate in The Regent's Park and Hyde Park Hotel in Knightsbridge. 💡 It was listed as Grade II* in 1970 and forms part of the Whitehall conservation area. 💡 It is surrounded by a number of other listed buildings including the National Liberal Club (II*), The Old War Office (II*) and the Ministry of Defence main building (I). 💡 It was designed in a 'Free Renaissance' style, harmonising well with adjacent and nearby buildings. 💡 The fourth floor units are particularly sought after given their unusually generous ceiling heights and balconies, which in many cases are larger than those of the fifth floor apartments above. 💡 Achievable rates per square foot vary hugely depending on condition, lease length, floor level and aspect. Obviously, the river facing apartments are the most coveted. 🌟 This property was one of the few laterally converted apartments, being the amalgamation of two original units. As the photos show through the scaffolding, these apartments have some of the Capital's finest views😎 🌐 www.capitalvalue.co.uk 📧 admin@capitalvalue.co.uk ☎️ 020 3011 3114

🚅 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐔𝐀𝐄 𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐝𝐠𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐮𝐫𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐞𝐧𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐥 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞....... ⚡ Last week, Etihad Rail unveiled the first high-speed, all-electric passenger train that will connect Abu Dhabi and Dubai, allowing commuters to travel between the two emirates in just 30 minutes. 💡 This train, which will run at 350km per hour, will pass through six stations: Reem Island, Saadiyat, Yas Island, and Zayed International Airport in Abu Dhabi, as well as near Al Maktoum International Airport and Al Jaddaf area in Dubai. ⛰️ Besides this state-of-the-art transport option, Etihad Rail will also be rolling out a regular passenger train that will eventually travel throughout the UAE towards the border with Oman. ✈️ Combined with Dubai's new airport (set to be operational within the next decade), how will this impact upon investment and tourism options in the region for those in the UK?

𝐀𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 🏗️ Over the past couple of decades, this type of development has increased in popularity and we see no sign of this trend abating. 🤔 There is a quote attributed to Mark Twain "buy land, they’re not making it any more"; was he right? 🏢 Developing airspace above extant structures is nothing new, although as a developer (and Valuer), you must be aware of the potential pitfalls. This is after all, a comparatively specialist endeavour. 🔘 Is the loading capacity of the existing building sufficient for the proposal? 🔘 Can the services (including a passenger lift) be easily upgraded/extended upwards? 🔘 Are all relevant Party Wall matters documented satisfactorily? 🔘 Are the existing Leaseholders entitled to any compensation or do they have first right of refusal on the airspace itself? These all relate to the financial and legal viability of a project, before you start to consider general build costs and GDV. In terms of GDV, a Valuer must assess (apart from the obvious): ❓ Are the new units going to be penthouses or 'top floor flats'? ❓ Is an existing passenger lift going to extend up to the newly created floor levels? ❓ Are the communal areas of the building going to be upgraded to a specification to rival nearby, competing new build schemes, that may have on site amenities? For secured lending, airspace is typically valued on a residual basis. All of the factors described above will have to be allowed for. This often results in disparity between Valuation expectations and reality. If you have an airspace project that requires a Valuation, reach out to Capital Value Surveyors Limited. We will be able to help. 🌐 www.capitalvalue.co.uk 📧 admin@capitalvalue.co.uk ☎️ 020 3011 3114

𝐂𝐫𝐲𝐩𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐔𝐊 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐲 On a weekly basis, the growth in chat on LinkedIn about 'crypto' is clear. However, it's nothing new. 💡 The first UK property transaction involving Bitcoin Inc. supposedly took place in Essex in January 2018. 🏗 It involved a detached house, forming part of a new development, funded by Close Brothers. 📈Whilst there have been limited second hand sales within the development since, to the best of our knowledge, resales have shown a ~30% increase in value according to HM Land Registry. Based on the supposed initial price paid of £375,000, this may suggest a current value of just under £500,000 💷 When this story broke during late 2017, the exchange rate indicated that this property was being acquired for 82.55 BTC. What would that be worth today in sterling? 💸💸💸💸💸💸💸 Almost £7million 🤯 At the time, the developer involved suggested that transactions like this would be commonplace within five years. Whilst their timescales might be off slightly, how do you see this playing out in the future? 🌐 www.capitalvalue.co.uk 📧 admin@capitalvalue.co.uk ☎️ 020 3011 3114
