more than 115, 000 rented homes across the city are now badged under the mayor’s london rental standard, the capital’s first city - wide badge of accreditation to improve the experience of landlords and tenants .
londoners either letting or renting through every london branch of these firms are assured that they, and every landlord or agent displaying the london rental standard badge, have met the mayor’s set of core commitments and training levels to offer tenants a better, more professional service. these include transparent fees, better property conditions, better communications between landlords and tenants, improved response times and repairs, and protected deposits .
thirty per cent of london’s households now live in rented homes, and by the mid - 2020s the number of renters is predicted to overtake the number of homeowners in the capital. in the last ten years the number of families with children renting in london has risen 10 per cent to almost a third. yet 85 per cent of landlords are not aware of core legislation that protects renters and 61 per cent have no professional management training .
the london rental standard is fast becoming an important feature of london’s lettings industry, helping londoners to pick between the huge array of landlords and agents on offer in the capital. it helps landlords and agents to understand their responsibilities to their tenants and to equip them with the knowledge they need to protect themselves from mistakes which can incur hefty costs and leave tenants disgruntled .
today, the mayor called on all remaining letting agents and landlords to sign up to the london rental standard, and help to stamp out rogue agents or landlords in every corner of the city .
the mayor of london boris johnson said: “this enthusiastic take - up from agents across the capital is testament to the great success of our new and growing london rental standard scheme. with more and more of london’s workforce and young families now living in rented homes, this sector has a vital part to play in helping to meeting the capital’s housing needs. the rental standard is improving the experience of everyone involved with a clear code of good practice, and i encourage every agent, landlord and tenant to seek it out and sign up. ”
theresa wallace, head of lettings customer relations at savills, said: “we fully support raising professional standards in the capital’s private rented sector and signed up to the mayor’s rental standard at the first opportunity. as an industry, we are united in our goal to eliminate the small minority of rogue landlords and agents who neglect their responsibilities and bring the industry into disrepute. “
stirling ackroyd’s lettings director, alexander jones, said: “the london rental standard is proving extremely positive for london’s rental sector, giving tenants a better understanding of which agents are regulated, a more informed choice at the very start of the rental process, and improving services and the reputation of the sector. ”
lori thompson, director of customer services and compliance at foxtons, said :
as part of our accreditation, all our senior lettings employees have undertaken intensive training courses achieving nals or arla qualifications and we encourage other lettings agents to join the london rental standard benefitting their customers and employees alike .
the london rental standard is supported by a range of commercial partners including endsleigh insurance, mydeposits the deposit protection scheme, and flat share site easyroommate. com. these supporters are offering discounts and incentives to landlords and agents to encourage them to sign up to the scheme and create a better rental sector .
it is also supported by all the lettings agent trade associations, arla, rics, nals and ukala (uk association of lettings agents), all of whom can provide letting agents with lrs accreditation .
david cox, arla managing director, said: “we are a proud supporter of the london rental standard (lrs). this bold initiative is designed to raise professional standards in the capital’s private rented sector by providing a consistent benchmark of accreditation for consumers. arla believes in maintaining the highest professional standards in the sector and therefore fully supports the aims of the lrs. we have long campaigned for regulation of the private rented sector, and it is crucial we eliminate the small minority of unscrupulous landlords and agents who neglect their responsibilities and bring our industry into disrepute. we are proud to be working with the mayor on this first step towards a more regulated industry” .
the london rental standard is the capital’s first ever city - wide badge of accreditation, to help millions of londoners rent with confidence, and to give the city’s 300, 000 landlords peace of mind that they are complying with the law and doing the right thing. it brings together seven landlord accreditation schemes to operate under a single framework. the full london rental standard can be downloaded at: urltoken and urltoken

chesterton, the upmarket estate agent, has gone into receivership only weeks after staging a prestigious event to celebrate its 200th anniversary .
receivers were called in overnight on monday, and 300 of the 700 staff have already been made redundant, mainly from the commercial property side of the business, which is likely to be shut down .
the firm, which was founded by a relative of the writer gk chesterton in 1805, is a casualty of the property market slowdown .
however, last night it was looking likely that a buyer would soon be found for the residential business, which is still operating. there have already been a number of
serious expressions of interest
in parts of the company .
a spokesman for receivers grant thornton said the firm had been making
significant losses
for several years. in the past seven months alone, the commercial side has racked up losses of more than £2m .
chesterton is based in london and bristol, with 36 branch offices across the country from edinburgh to plymouth. the residential business is based in the capital and specialises in properties costing more than £500, 000 .
in january the firm hosted a champagne reception at the national gallery in london to launch its year - long bicentenary celebrations. it was founded by charles chesterton after his father, who ran a poultry business, sent him to seek his fortune in kensington - which was then a rural village west of london .
charles set up a poultry farm there, but by the 19th century he was diversifying into estate management. his first client was william phillimore. the phillimore estate, covering 25 acres in kensington is still a client .
chesterton was a plc until it was acquired by private owners in 2003 and delisted a year ago. about 87% of chesterton ltd is controlled by a subsidiary of resurge, a venture capital company run by jonathan rowland - the dotcom millionaire at the centre of a landmark divorce case .

each year, rics’ governing council elects a president, a president elect and a senior vice president. the term for these positions is usually one year, with the holders taking office in november .
john clutton, one of the most eminent surveyors of his generation, became the first president of rics in 1868. his opening address identified the challenges of the time for the growing surveying profession including the great diversity of the surveyor’s work and how indispensable surveyors had become to society. to date, there have been 135 different post - holders .

it was established by charles chesterton in 1805 when he was sent to kensington by his father to start his own business. charles became the agent for the phillimore estate in kensington. charles was also agent for the phoenix insurance group, now part of royal & sun alliance, a churchwarden and a prominent figure in the kensington vestry. the business was successfully continued by charles’ son arthur chesterton who, in 1830 established chesterton & sons with his sons edward and sidney rawlins and ownership remained in the family until 1980 .
since inception, the business has established itself as one of the leading residential agents in london. throughout its history, it has been involved in significant property developments, including valuations of the three famous kensington high street stores, derry & toms, pontings and barkers in 1929. it boasts an impressive client base including notable celebrities, politicians and sports personalities such as robbie williams, sharon osbourne, sir john major and sir stirling moss .
estate agents institute, who merged with rics in 1970. it also had two of its executives serve as president of rics (sir henry wells in 1965 and the last direct member of the chesterton family, sir oliver chesterton in 1968) .
under the leadership of chief executive, robert bartlett, hired in early 2006 to re - energise the business, and the current management team, the business grew to over 30 offices across london through a combination of greenfield openings and targeted acquisitions and developed a strong international business of 18 offices in over 12 countries and five continents. the group has particularly focused its international growth within the middle east .
over the last few months i’ve been working on an historical overview of one of london’s grandest estates – the wellcome trust estate (formerly the smith charity estate) in south kensington. the brochure has just gone live on a new website for farleys estate agents .
today, the wellcome trust estate covers some of the most sought after residential property in london. however, prior to the grand victorian homes this part of london was known for its nursery grounds and market gardens. large scale property development took place throughout the 19th century with two main architects, george basevi and charles freake .

gibraltar is part of the european union and is one of fourteen british overseas territories. it is fully compliant with the oecd (organisation for economic cooperation and development) taxation model and is on the imf (international monetary fund) white list. gibraltar has strong links with the uk albeit has its own constitution and own fiscal independence .
it is approx 2. 5 sq miles in size and has a population of some 32, 000 although this figure increases by up to 12, 000 each day, as many workers commute in from spain .
the percentage of undeveloped land is extremely small when one excludes the rocky cliffs and steep sloping upper rock. it is estimated that 70% of gibraltar’s 32, 500 population live on reclaimed land, predominantly on the west side of gibraltar .
the currency is £ sterling, interest rates are set by the bank of england, the law is based upon uk law and many well known uk high street brands and restaurants are here, for example: marks and spencer; morrisons; next; mothercare; top shop; oasis; monsoon, costa coffee, pizza express. plus natwest bank, lloyds bank, newcastle building society and leeds building society .
the economy (measured by the gdp – gross domestic product) has grown consistently in every year in the 21st century, sometimes by as much as 10% . this is relatively unique in europe and much of the world. the number of jobs continues to grow year on year and currently exceeds 24, 000 .
as a member of the eu, companies may passport their services to the 450 million potential customers across the eu from gibraltar. this has led to a vibrant financial and gaming sector in gibraltar regulated by independent statutory bodies .
in addition to high street brands, gibraltar is home to an ever increasing number of international companies including: kpmg; pwc; deloittes; grant thornton; societe general; labrokes, william hill, bet365, betfred, gala, coral, betvic plus many others .
gibraltar has a fascinating history and is a popular tourist destination. it boasts a climate averaging 320 sunny days a year, easy access to spain (40 golf courses within an hour’s drive of the border), is virtually free of serious crime and is home to a wide variety of religions existing harmoniously in an integrated and friendly environment .
land tenure in gibraltar follows uk principles. land and property are held on a freehold or leasehold basis, with the latter taking various forms, depending on the length of the lease term and whether residential or commercial. it is not the policy of the government to grant freeholds. those freeholds that do exist are historical and are mostly concentrated in the central town area. it is common to make available crown lands and property on long leasehold terms, usually for 99 or 150 years .
property law is also broadly based on the uk system. there are no restrictions on foreign nationals purchasing, except in some residential developments jointly owned by individuals and government, where purchasers must qualify as eligible for government housing .
gibraltar has two residential property markets: i) government owned and / or funded (local market) and ii) privately owned and / or funded (open market) .
the local market is better defined as properties built with government funding which may only be occupied by persons with a minimum of 3 year gibraltar residency. most properties in this category are rented by the government to individual local tenants. some are now owned by the occupant (with the 3 year residency rule prevailing) whilst an increasing minority are owned on a shared basis (usually but not always 50 / 50) with the government as a means of encouraging property ownership. the local market properties account for some 50% of the entire housing stock .
local market properties must be utilised as the main residence and may not be let out. they are therefore, unsuitable for investors .
the open property market in gibraltar is available to any owner or occupant. standard demand and supply principles apply. property acquisition as an investment has a demonstrable track record in gibraltar and we estimate that one quarter of the open market properties are rented privately by landlords for normally, but not necessarily, 12 month terms .
the open market property prices trade at significantly more (up to 100% on a like for like basis) than the local market due to the lack of restrictive usage clauses .
the gibraltar stamp duties act 2005 (as amended by the stamp duties (amendment) act 2010) relates to all transactions involving real estate property situated in gibraltar. the rates of duty applicable are as follows :
ii. 2% on the first £250, 000 and 5. 5% on the balance, where the property value exceeds £200, 000 but does not exceed £350, 000, and
iii. 3% on the first £350, 000 and 3. 5% on the balance where the property value exceeds £350, 000
additionally, if the property is purchased with the assistance of a mortgage, stamp duty is charged at the rate of 0. 13% where the amount borrowed does not exceed £200, 000 and 0. 20% for amounts in excess of £200, 000 .
compared with the uk and spain, these stamp duty rates are attractive to purchasers .
other purchase costs are minimal with legal fees amounting to 0. 5% - 1% of the purchase cost. other various registration disbursements amount to a few hundred pounds. a mortgage incurs stamp duty at a maximum rate of 0. 2% )
gibraltar is steeped in history, culture and diversity – did you know the skull of a neanderthal woman was discovered here in 1848 and was only the second neanderthal skull ever found and the first adult neanderthal skull to be discovered, eight years before the discovery of the skull for which the species was named in neanderthal! the upper town offers a treat for anyone wanting to learn more about gibraltar’s history or just explore the rock. including st michael’s cave, the moorish castle, the great siege tunnels & wwii tunnels, princess caroline’s battery and, of course, not forgetting the apes den .
the barnes agents work in this light spacious and sunny office in church road and are open for relatively long hours. they do sales and letting and tend to veer towards the top end of the market .
as an agency they are particularly interested in local history. their in - house historian has produced an attractive booklet on

rod bennett was, for many years, the editor of wonder magazine, a cult - favorite media journal. his books include' four witnesses; the early church in her own words', a best seller from ignatius press; and' the christus experiment', a science - fiction novel from wonder magazine press. he is also the editor of' why catholic bibles are bigger' by gary michuta, from grotto press. rod lives in a log cabin in the great smoky mountains with his wife and two children .
it is with brilliant editorial panache that mr. bennett has pulled these early 20th century minds together to tell the story of american history as a story of competing ideas. the two opposing historical trajectories of the jeffersonian and hamiltonian camps are described in detail as each grows or wanes with popular sentiment and political influence in america. the differences between the two trains of thought are the difference between true liberty and enslavement. it is unfortunate that our educational systems have failed to explain the tension between these two trains of thought and left us always touching the surface of political questions rather than plumbing the depths behind those questions. american politics, lacking the level of understanding found in this work, has become little more than shouting empty slogans and sound bites at one another. we have become so concerned with the incremental changes as if rearranging the deck chairs on the ship that we have failed to see that the ship is upon the rocks and near destruction if the trends described are not reversed. it is imperative that americans grasp the trend toward plutocracy in order to stop our slide toward slavery. it should be required in childhood american history and civics education. highly recommended for all american citizens to keep the great dream and example alive .
