welcome

Welcome to the Autumn/Winter 2020 edition of our Guernsey Property Magazine. We hope you enjoy our superb offering of property to purchase and rent along with some market insights and Cooper Brouard news. Whether you have lived in Guernsey all of your life, are a new resident, or are contemplating relocation it is now apparent that our island’s attraction extends way beyond stunning cliffs, leafy lanes and sandy beaches. We have benefitted tremendously from a Government that took swift and decisive action and a community spirit that pulled together to preserve our quality of life. Nevertheless, the year so far has been a challenging one, the impact of Covid 19 demanded an innovative

approach from our sales and letting teams and are proud to say they have risen to the challenge, both professionally and personally. Pent up demand, buyer urgency and international recognition that Guernsey is a safe haven away from the Covid Storm, have all combined to create a very busy market with Cooper Brouard playing a major role in expediting sales and rentals both physically and remotely. The news of a new vaccine on the horizon means that we can all look forward to 2021 with much greater optimism than could have been expected earlier in the year and that we look forward to welcoming visitors and relocators.

Home run Raising money for Guernsey Bowel Cancer and The Priaulx Baby Foundation

Pick of the litter Cooper Brouard are this year participating in Womble 52. Under the umbrella of ‘The Clean Earth Trust’ the initiative of Womble 52 is to have 52 businesses, groups, organisations, sports teams or similar each committing to an annual week of wombling, so that the baton is always being held by someone in Guernsey throughout the year. November had a team with gloves on and bags at the ready focussing their clean-up efforts on Vazon Bay and St Martin’s parish. The Clean Earth Trust says “A wombling week is a great opportunity to remind ourselves how beautiful yet fragile Guernsey is and that if we are not careful, even if we are clean by international standards, we can end up with a very dystopian and polluted environment. There is need for constant vigilance.”

Matt Brouard about to deliver the tablets to We All Matter Eh?

Cooper Brouard put forward a team for this years Guernsey Marathon which leads runners around the Guernsey coastline all raising money The Priaulx Premature Baby Foundation. TEAM CB opted for the Mourant Relay Race which comprises 5 runners covering sections varying from 4-6miles. Our enthusiastic runners got off to an excellent start with Ross Yeates surviving the Val des Terres! He handed over to Liz Major at the Mallard who in turn had Harry Phillips run the next leg from Imperial to Vistas. With the weather now against them it was Kate Howlet who ran the coast road to James Starkey waiting at Pembroke. James crossed the finish line bringing the team in at a time of 3:50:33. 39th place overall in relay out of 70 teams entering and 23rd out of 44 mixed teams.

An eco-friendly move Cooper Brouard have taken delivery of 2 new Nissan Leafs, increasing their fleet of all electric vehicles to 5. Director Matt Brouard comments “Since the arrival of our first all-electric car in 2017 we have been committed to converting our fleet to greener fuels. We believe in delivering a service that has a lower impact on the environment and our clients very much support our aims. On top of that the cars are superbly designed for island use and we all love driving them.” GUERNSEY PROPERTY SPRING/SUMMER 2020

7 WAYS TO MAINTAIN A HEALTHY PORTFOLIO Accept a certain level of risk

Of course in moments like these, the temptation to reduce risk and limit the drawdown in the short term is extremely high. It is precisely in these moments that we should remember that we cannot control the short-term direction of the market. We are rewarded for accepting those risks in the short term with superior long-term returns and if we miss strong days, strong weeks or strong months in the market, we will significantly impact long-term returns in our portfolio.

Think before you jump

JEAN-LUC LE TOCQ Head of Private Banking

The coronavirus pandemic hit markets hard. According to Jean-Luc Le Tocq, Head of Private Banking at Julius Baer in Guernsey, it is important to stay calm and maintain a long-term view. This message was echoed during the bank’s Guernsey Autumn Market Outlook event where speakers outlined that the global markets are currently in a steady recovery and hopes of a swift rebound are slim. Here Jean-Luc presents 7 ways to maintain a healthy investment portfolio.

Every decade ends and starts with a major crisis – like the financial crisis in 2008 or the boom-bust cycle of the dotcom era in the late ‘90s and early 2000s. These crises shaped the decade to come, but eventually made way for good times. After this downturn of unprecedented speed, relative asset valuation has moved to recessionary extremes, meaning the price of quality in a portfolio is at a record premium compared to lower-quality assets – and that’s probably true to a large extent both in the equity space and the fixed income space. It might be tempting to jump into such perceived cheap assets of a lower quality. But we think that’s premature for a couple of reasons: number one, their low valuations might persist for quite some time and we’ll go through several ups and downs before the economy recovers – and markets reflect that. Number two: we are to an unprecedented extent hostages of policy decisions, so some companies might eventually be helped by policy makers to a greater degree than others, and government intervention in markets and the economy will also be very high going forward. Therefore, this situation may persist for some time to come. Don’t catch falling knives.

Stay positive about China

One of the calls we made in our outlook is for a bipolar world, where we experience a Chinese-led economic and financial cycle coexisting with the well-known US economic and financial cycle.

There again, we are fast-forwarding towards that new world. And more than ever we think China, which has been hit first by that pandemic, but has reacted very swiftly, will also be the first economy to recover. So more than ever, China is a core asset class in portfolios.

Embrace digital health

A particular area of interest for us is technology’s impact on the healthcare industry. Of course, we never imagined at the time that the virus would disrupt our life in anywhere near the way it has in the last few months. But this highlights the merits and the importance of exposure to healthcare companies in a portfolio – across a wide range of things, but in particular to biotechnology, and also very critically to all the digital enablers in life science. This comprises all the companies that facilitate the transition towards a digitally enabled, data-driven healthcare industry.

Don’t panic about volatility

After the initial surge in market volatility we’ve come back to slightly lower levels, but still very high in historical perspective. You will be rewarded a lot to sell insurance today, and we think investors should take advantage of that market paradigm to cash in attractive risk premium on volatility.

Responsible investing is here to stay

Last but not least, sustainability was already a major megatrend before this crisis. And given the consequences of the pandemic one can foresee for the economy, social life and politics, more than ever companies behaving in a responsible, sustainable way are likely to outperform going forward. It’s not a blip, it’s a trend.

Open Market properties Half a billion pounds in sales marks a long-awaited turn around The numbers of Residential sales in Guernsey have climbed rapidly in 2020, particularly post our mercifully short lockdown. The Open Market residential sector saw 14 genuine sales in October which is the greatest number in a single month for 10 years with our press reporting half a billion pounds, of total property sales in the year to date. Demand for Local Market homes remains high in all sectors, including from investors looking for relatively good yields and security. So, confidence in the Guernsey house market is high and looks set to remain that way. The very low numbers of Covid-19 cases in Guernsey continues to make this not only an enjoyable place to live and do business, but a safer environment for all, particularly those who are considered to be in the

vulnerable category. Guernsey has its own post COVID-19 tax challenges but Rishi Sunak’s call for an overhaul of Capital Gains Tax in the UK will leave UK residents bracing themselves for changes which may well make Guernsey’s tax regime all the more attractive. The inevitable consequence of this buoyant market is a shortage of houses. For the first time in many years the selection has reduced considerably, making this the perfect moment for those who have held back or hesitated in listing a house, waiting for more better market conditions, to go to market. If you would like some expert, obligation free advice please do not hesitate to contact one of our team of experienced staff.

SPF HIGH NET WORTH MORTGAGES

BECAUSE EXCLUSIVE ADDRESSES NEED A DIFFERENT APPROACH Opening the door to a new property can be more complicated when high value mortgages are required. Standard lending limits may not be sufficient and, if youâ€™re a high net worth individual that has complex or multiple income streams, it can place you outside of the comfort zone of most high street lenders. At SPF we have established relationships with specialist lenders and a wealth of knowledge and experience in providing complex income verification to secure bespoke and highly competitive mortgages for Guernsey residents. We can even factor in other properties, stock portfolios or personal pensions to provide the required level of funding in the most cost efficient structure. For an effective approach to securing your new home or investment property, call us on 01481 715234.

Guernsey. A lifestyle choice.

Guernsey offers safety and security coupled with relatively low rates of income tax and no capital taxes. It also offers interesting tax incentives for relocators as well as tax caps that are available to all. The Island has, to date, also been able to avoid the significant lifestyle constraints placed upon other jurisdictions by the Covid19 pandemic. All in all, Guernsey is a quiet and unassuming relocation jurisdiction of choice.

Francis Snoding CTA Managing Director E: fran.snoding@lts-tax.com T: 01481 755881

Despite the relatively low rates of income tax the local tax system is rather complex. Professional tax advice prior to arrival is recommended, or shortly post arrival and for an existing resident, a tax health check may well offer some interesting options.

Julian Turian ATT FMATT Director E: julian.turian@lts-tax.com T: 01481 743045

The team at LTS Tax have significant experience in all aspects of Guernsey taxation and are qualified to provide UK tax advice. We would be delighted to talk tax with you, without obligation, on how we may be able to help on relocation or indeed undertake a tax health check with you.

Eight-step guide to buying and selling property in Guernsey |

Ogier

Eight-step guide to buying and selling property in Guernsey Buying a new home is a major milestone for all of us but it can be a challenging process. Happily there are things that you can do to improve the chances of everything going smoothly and achieving a happy outcome. 1. Finance Before you start house hunting, you need to know how much you can borrow and what price you can afford to offer. Mortgages can be obtained direct from a bank or through a mortgage broker; explore all of your options. Talk to your lawyer to get a full breakdown of all fees and costs that will be involved so that you have the full picture. Make sure that the information you provide on your loan application is accurate and complete. If an offer of a loan is conditional on insurance policies being in place, make sure that they are in place before completion. Read any loan offer carefully to make sure that you understand and agree with its terms before signing it and returning it to your lender or mortgage broker. Check that your loan can be in place by your target completion date to avoid last minute delays. 2. The property Valuations and structural surveys will give some comfort that the house is worth what you are paying and that it should not require major unexpected work. Think about how easy the property might be to re-sell and whether there might be any issues with neighbouring properties. If you are buying from a developer, ask what will be included in 70

the price and what guarantees are going to be provided. 3. Choose the right lawyer It is never too early to instruct your lawyer to get valuable guidance right from the outset. Always give your lawyer clear instructions and provide updates if there are changes to the transaction. Make sure you choose a lawyer who you can have a good relationship with and who has the experience and expertise to give you the best service. Understand that a lower fee may mean a compromise on the service that you will receive. 4. Population management You must hold a valid certificate or permit under The Population Management Guernsey Law, 2016 in order to live in a property in Guernsey. Further information is available at www.gov.gg/populationmanagement 5. Insurance Your lender will want to be satisfied that you have comprehensive buildings insurance in place from the moment that you buy your home. Make arrangements to have cover lined up to “go live” as soon as you need it. You may wish to consider taking out life, critical illness or disability insurance cover.

6. Arrange removals Give your removal company as much notice as you can. An experienced removal firm will understand that completion dates are not 100% certain and will bear with you should the date have to change. 7. Utility companies No-one wants to move in to find that they can’t boil the kettle for that much needed cup of tea. Application forms can be downloaded from websites and should be returned at least four days before completion. If inadequate notice is given, services may not be available when you move in or you might have to pay connection costs. 8. Timescales A great deal of planning has to be undertaken to ensure that everything happens when it should. Working to a realistic timetable is important. Although quicker completions are possible, it is wise to allow at least four weeks from the date of instructing your lawyer to buy your property.

Certificates of Lawful Use |

Carey Olsen

Certificates of Lawful Use A number of home owners have applied for Certificates of Lawful Use since they were introduced into Guernsey’s planning system in May 2019. Here, Carey Olsen’s senior associate and planning law specialist Rachel Jones provides an update on the uptake of Certificates of Lawful Use in the residential market. The effect of a successful application for a Certificate of Lawful Use is to regularise an historic, unlawful change of use of land without having to obtain planning permission. An application for a Certificate can be made when the land has been used contrary to its current, lawful planning use continuously for either:

• Two Certificates have been granted for properties that were self-catering units. These Certificates were granted for two separate sites but together they concerned 17 units. The Certificates certify the new lawful planning use of each of the 17 units is as an independent residential dwelling.

• A Certificate has been granted for land that was agricultural land but had been used for the required period of time as a driveway and parking ancillary to a dwelling. This Certificate certifies that the new lawful planning use of the land is as a driveway and parking ancillary to the dwelling.

• four years from the date the Development and Planning Authority (D&PA) first knew about the change in use (if the D&PA is aware of the unlawful use); or

• 10 years from the date of the change from the lawful use to the current unlawful one.

• A Certificate has also been granted

13 applications have been decided since the regime was introduced. Of these, 11 have led to Certificates being granted (five for commercial uses and six for residential uses).

in respect of two dwellings that had been used for the required period of time as a single dwelling. The Certificate certifies the property’s new lawful use as a single dwelling house.

householders can carry out to dwellings without the need for permission, such as certain extensions. The Certificates will also be beneficial on selling a property when prospective purchasers routinely apply for an Immunity Certificate, which advises the prospective purchaser of the lawful planning use of the property. It should be noted that in determining an application for a Certificate of Lawful Use, the D&PA require robust evidence to demonstrate, on a balance of probabilities, that the current use of land has been carried on for the required period of time and throughout that time, the use must have been continuous. The onus is on the applicant to submit sufficient evidence to support their application. It is not sufficient to simply provide a letter or statement setting out how the land has been used. Evidence to support the application may include affidavits (legally sworn statements) from the owner and possibly from other people who can corroborate how the land has been used, photographs (if possible dated), historic Digimaps, bills/invoices and any other factual documentary evidence. Carey Olsen regularly advises both residential and commercial property owners on the planning process including on applications for Certificates of Lawful Use.
