RENTS INCREASE ALMOST 12% IN PAST YEAR The Homelet index, which claim to produce the most up to date rental figures, suggest that the average rent on new tenancies agreed in May to July across the UK have now reached a huge £977 a month – Without London the rest of the UK still has an average of £761 a month. Including the capital the average UK rental figure is now almost 12% higher than May-July 2014. Kate West, Divisional Lettings Director for Goadsbys Central Region comments “Tenants have found themselves trapped in rented accommodation as property purchase prices rise and they struggle to raise the deposits required to buy” Kate continues “This has led to increased competition among tenants for each property, driving up demand and rental figures”.

LATEST MEMBER OF THE YOUHOME LETTINGS TEAM TO JOIN ARLA (ASSOCIATION OF RESIDENTIAL LETTING AGENTS)

NO ILLEGAL WORKERS AT RICHMOND!

YOUhome are delighted to announce that Senior Lettings Specialist, Ellie Mattison has successfully passed her NFoPP Level 3 Technical Award in Residential Lettings & Property Management, and is now the latest member of the YOUhome lettings team to join ARLA (Association of Residential Letting Agents).

WITH the Government promising to crack down on illegal immigration and workers, the Home Office Minister James Brokenshire has told the national press that they will be targeting construction, along with care homes and the cleaning industry.

Ellie joined YOUhome in 2012, and after a year of study passed her final exam in June. Ellie said: “I am thrilled the hard work has paid off. For me, it is not only a personal achievement, but also about showing our clients that they are dealing with someone who is knowledgeable and who they can trust to do a good job.”

Association of Residential Letting Agents, and as such, is committed to transparency and client-care, meaning the service to its clients will meet the highest professional and ethical standards. Director Adrian Black said: “We are delighted that Ellie now becomes the latest member of our staff to join ARLA, she has worked hard through the course and fully deserves acclaim. It shows a real commitment to her profession and her clients that she now has this nationally recognized qualification and membership.”

He says: “Enforcement teams will conduct hundreds of raids across the country to create a ‘hostile environment’ for illegal workers.”

YOUhome is proud that it is are one of the few local estate agents to be regulated and accredited by both the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and

FERRARI ‘SEAHORSES’ TO HELP RNLI SAVE LIVES AT SEA FOLLOWING H&H AUCTION H&H sale of two 1960’s Ferraris will benefit the RNLI thanks to Richard Colton’s Legacy. The famous black prancing horse logo of Ferrari will shortly become a ‘seahorse’ to help save lives off the coast as two, multimillion-pound Ferraris – estimated to sell for around £2m and £6m – are auctioned by H&H Classics to raise funds for the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI), the charity that saves lives at sea.

This increased demand will offer great encouragement to people thinking about investing in buy to let property, as well as existing landlords looking to expand their current portfolio

The bequest by the late Richard Colton, a man nervous of the sea, will see his two Ferraris transformed via the H&H Classics auction at Duxford on October 14 into an RNLI lifeboat to be named after him and his wife Caroline. It is one of the largest bequests ever received by the RNLI and one of the most unusual.

Should you wish to discuss investing in the buy to let market for the first time or expanding your current portfolio please call Kate to discuss in more detail; 01202 859966 or email kate.west@ goadsby.com

H&H Classics, one of Britain’s oldest classic car auction houses, will sell the cars at the Imperial War Museum Duxford, Cambridgeshire, Europe’s largest historic aviation centre, on 14th October 2015. The funds raised will go towards the RNLI’s lifesaving work around the coast of the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland.

“This is part of the Government’s strategy to tackle ‘rogue employers’”, says Allan Tofield of Richmond Home Improvement Co.

Guy Rose, Legacy Manager at the RNLI, said: “Leaving a legacy in a will is a very personal decision so we are humbled that Mr Colton chose the RNLI as the beneficiary of the sale of his two prized Ferraris. The proceeds will go towards helping our volunteer lifeboat crews save lives at sea. As a charity, the RNLI relies on donations to fund its lifesaving work. In fact, six out of ten lifeboat launches are only made possible through gifts left to us in wills. Whether these legacies are large or small, we are deeply grateful to supporters like Mr Colton for their generosity and support for our charity.” FERRARI ‘SEAHORSES’ HELP RNLI SAVE LIVES All bidding enquiriesTOshould be directed AT SEA FOLLOWING H&H AUCTION to Damian Jones, Sales Manager at H&H H&H SALE OF TWO 1960’S FERRARIS WILL BENEFIT THE RNLI Classics, on +44 (0) 1925 210035, email THANKS TO RICHARD COLTON’S LEGACY damian.jones@handh.co.uk. VIDEO SHOT AT THE NEW RNLI FACILITY IN POOLE

The Government’s concerns are that firms are currently cutting costs by employing illegal immigrants and so naturally are also likely to be in breach of Health and Safety rules. It’s inevitable that they are also deemed to be paying insufficient tax as they are running cash businesses. Mr Tofield said; “Employers face fines of up to £20,000 per illegally ‘employed’ person and if it can be proved an illegal immigrant has been employed ‘knowingly’ the employer can face a two year jail term. “The perception is that use of illegal labour is likely to be more prevalent on small projects such as home improvement works. “As the holiday season gets under way, groups of travellers also naturally gravitate to the area. They drop leaflets and knock doors to drum up business. “Unlike these cowboy outfits, all staff at Richmond are fully employed and are regularly updated and trained on best practice for Health and Safety, asbestos awareness, working at height and manual handling etc. All our work is fully guaranteed and our website contains many client testimonials.

LED-ZIP LIGHTING AND MOTABITZ COLLABORATE TO REDUCE SHOWROOM LIGHTING COSTS BY 43% Led-Zip Lighting of Northbourne in Dorset has worked with vehicle, cycle and leisure parts supplier Motabitz to save an impressive 43% on their Ferndown showroom lighting costs. Owner of Led-Zip Lighting, Nick Bainton, is a customer of the branch and felt he could not only improve the quality of light, and therefore the customer experience in the showroom – but also the cost of running such a large floor space. Leaving his business card and an invitation to visit their showroom, the message reached Managing Director Glenn Mason. The cost of lighting the showroom for year to March 2015 was £4,655.00, a figure any retailer would be pleased to reduce. “Following Led-Zip Lighting’s recommendation to consider LEDs I did some research online, although nothing beat visiting the Led-Zip Lighting showroom, seeing the products themselves and talking to an expert,” said Glenn.

The result was a trial of four 600mm x 600mm slim panel lights that slot directly in as a replacement ceiling tile. “Glenn really needed to see the lights in situ to experience the difference, so I suggested he take a box to try, said Nick Bainton of LedZip Lighting.” “The difference in the light quality of just four of the panels immediately blew me away,” said Glenn. “I was also impressed with the ease we were able to fit them. I was certainly convinced to invest in the rest, and calculated a payback period of some 22 months, which Nick steered me closer towards 24/25 months. It is clear the company is about facts not frills, and in fact it was suggested I purchase less modules than I did, but again it was hard to know just how much more light these modern LEDs emit and I could have got away with less resulting in an even faster payback.” Although Glenn researched online options, in the end he felt that such an insignificant cost differential was

far outweighed by the peace of mind of being to see - and talk through what he was buying. “The added benefit is a 50% increase in light levels in the store and therefore more clearly displayed products for the customer,” added Nick of Led-Zip Lighting. “And I understand the showroom team are delighted with the results too. Motabitz will benefit from a five year warranty on these products and at least 50,000 hours of use with no more than 20% degradation over that timescale.”

Upholstery weaves and linen prints remain a staple here, with the new addition of some luxurious velvets. William’s palette continues his passion for blue and white to which he is unquestionably loyal, but he offers a refreshing modernity too with the use of grey white and damson.

A rich anthology of designs from this unmistakeable, hallmark American fashion house.

Expert guide to letting your property from the YOUhome lettings team Safety first

By James Tiller, MARLA

Anna Corbridge-Atkins Lettings Negotiator

Georgina Brittain Property Manager

Know your tenancy agreement By Simon Whitlock

It is important for landlords to understand the legalities of letting; there can be a risk of severe fines, penalties and even the possibility criminal proceedings if landlords are found not to be acting correctly. A good tenancy agreement not only sets out the responsibilities of the tenant, but also your obligations as a landlord. Everything from ensuring essential maintenance is carried out to protecting tenant deposits with an approved government scheme is covered.

Ensure your property is ready for letting by obtaining all the relevant certificates and safety checks. Landlords need to present their properties Energy Performance rating with all advertising. An Energy Performance Certificate must be obtained, and once you have one it lasts for ten years.

Make sure you are insured correctly. Buildings insurance is the minimum requirement. Landlord insurance packages can offer good back up should something go wrong such as a boiler breakdown, which may otherwise prove costly.

Gas safety inspections need to be carried out every 12 months, and are a legal requirement. Electrical installations should also be checked and, although not a legal a requirement, a landlord must be able to confirm electrics in their property are safe.

Know your tenant

Make your property presentable

Who are they? Are they credit-worthy? Can they afford the rent? Do they have good previous landlord references? Are they legally entitled to live and work in the UK? These are all questions that should be asked of any applicant. If something does not seem right, it’s better to be safe rather than sorry. You could end up stuck in an agreement you can’t get out of.

By Ellie Mattison, MARLA

Lettings is a fast paced environment and tenants make quick decisions about properties they want to rent. A clean and well-kept property has the best chance of letting. Carry out regular inspections to keep an eye on anything that may need your attention. When making choices about repairs and upgrades, be sensible with your money but be mindful that you should protect your property and your investment. By ensuring your property is well-kept, you will maximise your chance of achieving the best possible price.

By James Tiller, MARLA Before entering into a tenancy agreement, it is important to establish some facts about your tenant.

At YOUhome our aim is to make your letting experience as hassle free and simple as possible. Our RICS and ARLA accreditations means the service you receive meets the highest standards of excellence and integrity. Added to this, landlords who instruct us to manage their property will receive a Rent Recovery Plus policy*, for free. So, if the unfortunate occurs and your tenants can’t or won’t pay, you will be protected.

*subject to T&C’s

If you are considering letting your property, we would like to offer you a free no-obligation market appraisal. Or, if you would prefer an informal chat about the Lettings market contact us today. Bournemouth

SHOW HOME

SHOW HOME TO BOAST ‘THE SUMMIT’ OF QUALITY Bournemouth’s landmark collection of new boutique apartments at The Summit will pass a major milestone next month when the first show home is unveiled to the public. On Friday September 4th award-winning housebuilder Redrow Homes will throw open the doors for people to explore the beautifully dressed two-bedroom apartment on the first floor, between 10am and 5.30pm. Visitors will enjoy a taste of The Summit’s luxurious, open-plan lifestyle with tall ceilings and full height windows creating light and airy living rooms and bedrooms. Minimalist-inspired clean lines flow through the bathroom and en suite. The kitchen is inspired by intelligent, ergonomic design.

they’ll also be able to appreciate the quality, fine detail, high specification and generous space they’d enjoy as residents. “Buyers have already snapped up 30 per cent of the homes at The Summit off plan, so we’re urging people to register with us and visit soon so they have the best choice available and don’t miss out on this rare opportunity.” The show home will give people the first opportunity to see inside The Summit, which on its prestigious position in Upper Terrace Road has been viewed with anticipation from around Bournemouth.

The marketing suite will be launched on the same day where property-hunters can find out more about the contemporary choice of 45 one, two and three-bedroom homes – of which 30 per cent have already sold off-plan. Prices start at £259,950.

Two new Hilton-branded hotels are just next door, including a prestigious, full-service flagship Hilton with spa/health club, sky bar and fine dining restaurant. Residents of The Summit are likely to be able to enjoy preferential membership rates.

James Barnes, sales director at Redrow Homes (Southern Counties), said: “The off-plan sales show what a warm welcome the market has given The Summit, which I think will only intensify when people get a taste of the new show home.

The address puts residents just a few minutes’ walk from the hugely popular sandy beach and colourful seafront, as well as the town centre’s high street shopping, eateries, cinema and bars, plus its awardwinning central gardens.

“People can already see the contemporary style and unbeatable location of The Summit from the outside. Inside the show home

Should I stay in for viewings?

Nick Richards, Associate

We are often asked by our vendors if they should stay in whilst a viewing takes place. In our opinion a viewing will always last longer if the owner is not in, as people will feel far more relaxed, take their time and express their honest opinions, which is the only way to get truthful feedback for the vendor. For example, a two bedroom flat can feel quite cramped if there are two owners, two buyers and the estate agent. We always recommend, that if possible, the first viewing should be with us only, and then if the buyer wishes to view again, it is then beneficial to have the vendor at home to ask any detailed questions which only the homeowner would know. This also allows both parties to meet but still have the middleman If you have any questions about selling your home directing the viewing. please call us - 01202 292600

LAND & PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT

Above: No matter how large or small the site, AJ Developments will thrive at the opportunity to maximise the value of your land. This previously unused Greenfield site will soon house 10 fantastic new family homes in an popular semi-rural village on the outskirts of Gillingham.

AJ DEVELOPMENTS Not many of us believe in fairies these days, however that pot of gold at the bottom of the garden may still be within your grasp with the help of AJ Developments. Not many of us believe in fairies these days, however that pot of gold at the bottom of the garden may still be within your grasp with the help of AJ Developments. Selling off part of a large garden is a growing trend across Dorset as developable land is used up. For some of us at least, parting with our piece of green could sow the seeds for a better financial future. With an esteemed reputation in and around the local area, AJ Developments have a proven history of acquiring and developing residential and commercial sites, which other developers have overlooked. Not adverse to discussing plots and land that may have been refused permission previously or have other planning issues, AJ Developments are notorious for exponential success with such sites, achieving a 95% success rate. A different option for those with large gardens is to build a second home on part of the garden and move into it, selling the original property. AJ are able to release equity by selling off unused/difficult to maintain land whilst retaining up to 95% of current market value of your property. This is particularly popular with older homeowners who prefer to stay in the same area but in a modern bungalow to their old 1930s detached plus they still retain a manageable chunk of their mature garden. Maximising the potential for open land, gardens and redundant buildings, AJ endeavor to design and construct homes in keeping with the communities they fall within.

Agents who introduce AJ Developments to any development sites will receive a 3% fee on acquisition.

AJ will always retain the introducing agent for the resale of the new property. They are also able to offer initial architectural assessments within 24 hours, which allows an extremely fast decision making process. With a full pipeline of works and contracts, AJ are a cash rich business, who are able to make quick decisions on land, shortening the timeline of the traditional lengthy sale/planning process. Part of their success has previously hinged on the swift submission of approvable plans and the urgency of their Land acquisition department. Flexible with timescales AJ are able to accommodate to suit the sellers requirements, typically between 3 months and 2 years. Their honest and conversant approach will ensure that you are fully informed before making decisions to sell to AJ, or enter into an agreement with their team.

combined experience within the construction and development space, the business has taken on several facets and has sustained continuous growth over the last 5 years. Fulfilling this void with affordable luxury housing solutions, AJ Developments have forged a stellar reputation for producing the highest quality Houses, combing meticulous detail and innovative spatial ideas with a professional and fun service. Having recently made extremely positive waves in the Dorset and Hampshire area; setting ground breaking precedents AJ have, and continue to establish themselves, as a trusted, eminent business, who also provided career and contract opportunities for local and national trades. AJ can be trusted to invest and nurture the relationships that they continue to build with agencies, authorities, organisations, private individuals and Town Planning associates to provide the best results for the end users and homeowners that they come into contact with.

With time-scales similar to those of a standard sale, AJ have the capital available to ensure the purchase and approval of any land or property is quick and effective - No fuss!

The structural dividing wall between the living room and kitchen is a much talked about piece – the kitchen wall is cladded in large veneered panels of book matched walnut – a 3 2 3 3 2 2 fitting tribute. The net result is a family home that responds to the elements in a most unBritish way and delights in the potential of the unexpected over the prosaic.

ASK THE EXPERT Matthew Fleming-Duffy Cherry Mortgage and Finance LTD Mortgage and Finance Broker

Right to Build Councils are set to make land available for self-builders under plans announced by the government. In an effort to encourage housebuilding wherever possible, the scheme empowers those looking to create a self-build property to request a building plot from their local authority. With housing still a big topic in 2015, it could potentially see a much needed resurgence in housebuilding across the UK. The Government hopes that the self-build market, currently at 10,000 units per year, will reach its full potential of up to double that number. The self-build market share has dropped from 10% in 2008 to its current proportion of 8% of all new homes, relatively low for any developed country. The government recognise this issue, and in their Right to Build consultation document said: “In many other European countries, [self-builds] form an important way of building new homes for households right across the social spectrum”. Jackson Moulding, former vice-chairman of the National Custom and SelfBuild Association, said the announcement was “fantastic news”. Home

more new entrants and new development models to increase the speed of delivery and quality of new homes”. Mortgages on self-build homes differ from house buying, so it is important to speak to a self-build finance expert before making use of your Right to Build; however as a short guide: • Mortgages can be arranged up to 85% on land/property with outline planning and up to 85% on build costs • No need to sell current home first - you can stay in your existing home as you build your new one • Advance stage payments (particularly useful in the case of timber frame kits where client is required to pay for their kit early on) or traditional stage payments in arrears • Interest only available during the build to further improve cashflow • Overpayments allowed without penalty

McConnell Property Group have been managing properties for over 15 years and with high street branches in Bournemouth, Southbourne, Charminster and Winton and all properties being marketed from all our offices we are confident you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find anyone with better local coverage in the area. All our staff are driven and determined and are trained to deliver exceptional service, whilst making the process as simple as possible.

For a friendly, hard-working, pro-active Letting Agent, who understands what it takes to succeed in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s market, then please call Phil on (01202) 533666, and we will do all we can to help.

Diary of Award winning Sales and Letting Agent Move On Sharon Canning We have a few busy months coming up. Historically September and October are in our top 4 for being a hive of activity, where people are looking to move and get settled before the dark nights come in and Christmas (yes… Christmas will be upon us soon). This goes for both sides of the business, lettings and sales. At Move On, we have been making sure we are ready for the flurry of applicants and have recently upgraded to the latest technology in software to ensure all properties are marketed quickly to not only the major portals like Rightmove but out to our 10,000 data base of applicants. The whole office is super excited at not only being able to give top service to our clients, but to be able to release time from the computer to give more face to face and telephone service. On the lettings side we will be seeing some legislation changes coming up. There is a new Section 21 format coming in with new rules, on how to serve, when to serve and additional documentation to be served with it. At the moment you have to abide by the Deposit rules and having a HMO license where applicable. The new procedures will mean giving a further four pieces of documentation. So, being with an agent who is on top of the legislations couldn’t be more prevalent, as the courts are determined to be on top of these. Those, that know me, will know I love stats and KPI’s and I am pleased to announce that in the last 3 years our rent arrears has not gone above 1%. I know lots of agents who are in to double figures and nationally rent arrears was between 32 – 45% (depending on which article you read). We are known for being strict with our referencing and the stats prove we are right to do so. My staff are not on targets because we believe getting the tenant right is more important than filling a property to reach a target. Don’t forget September is the last month to House readers for us to give a special 0.6% including VAT to sell your property. Just quote ‘House’ to receive this one off price. Have a good week! Sharon

About After moving to Poole to live in my family’s holiday home, I found I was spending a lot of time doing “could you just” jobs. Whether this was doing the meter readings, getting quotes from builders or waiting for parcels to be delivered, it occurred to me that we can’t be the only family that have those small yet time consuming issues. Sandbanks Concierge is designed to remove these annoyances for families so that they can fully appreciate this beautiful area.

ASK THE EXPERT Linda Long, Senior Partner Blakes Property Agents & Consultants

Landlords capitalise on continued demand for more rental properties As various opinions are put forward as to whether the recent rise in house prices has reached its peak and speculation continues on what measures may be introduced by the Bank of England to slow the market, the demand for rental properties has never been higher and this trend looks set to continue. There are now nearly four million people living in rental properties owned by private landlords. New regulations are constantly brought in to help safe-guard these tenants, however until there is sufficient housing to satisfy the demand, rents will also keep rising. This all means that now is the perfect time to consider investing in property. Regardless of whether the market continues to rise, your initial investment will maintain its value providing you are willing to wait a few years before selling. The rental return received is then a bonus. It is essential to take proper advice as to location and the type of property. You will also have to take into account any running repairs which may be required and the possibility of void periods if tenants leave, but a good rental return can still be attained with good planning. Providing the property is clean, has a modern kitchen and bathroom, neutral decoration and affordable heating, it should let quite quickly. In general, we tend to find that houses are more popular and let quicker than flats, but this could be attributed to the fact that there are usually fewer houses available. The location will help to determine the type of tenant likely to apply. Young professionals prefer properties which are close to the city centre with all the amenities it has to offer. Families on the other hand will look for properties with gardens, close to schools and bus routes. Finally, tenants are concerned about the fees they are charged and the way their deposit is secured. So unless you are carrying out this work yourself, always choose a reputable Letting Agent who is clear and transparent on their fee structure and who is regulated by a professional body such as ARLA or the Property Ombudsman. At Blakes we can help you with all this and more, please visit our website www.blakes-property.co.uk for more information or call us on 01202 512621.

GOING GLOBAL Revisiting the Seventies has conjured a fresh approach to the bohemian chic trend. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just time travel thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inspired the latest collections; actual travel is at the heart of the look too, with designers venturing back to favourite far-flung haunts through exotic themes.

As a result, it’s never been easier to create a ‘welltravelled’ feel at home. All you need to complement these vibrant prints and textiles are some key accessories, and a little imagination. Not to be confused with shabby chic - which is more chintzy and distressed than glam, globe-trotting gypsy - boho chic is all about texture, colour and pieces with a ‘sense of story’. The detail is in how you blend gorgeous jewel tones with terracotta hues, to create an eclectic space that can be as subtle or daring as you like. “Patterns have played their part in many trends of late and this summer’s infatuation with boho chic shows how confident we’ve got at bringing these bold and beautiful designs into our home,” says Ian Dykes, founder and director of Voyage Decoration. “What’s great about this stylish take on a bohemian look, is its inherent lack of rules; anything goes.” Indeed, Moroccan styles can be combined with Mexican brights and Indian fabrics with English country garden florals - the more creative clashes the better. Soft furnishings, such as cushions and throws, are perfect for building up a boho vibe and will add a concentrated burst of colour and pattern. “Use them to adorn sofas, window seats and chairs, to create a visually interesting and tactile display,” advises Dykes. “Once you’ve created this foundation, add another layer, using small decorative accessories and treasures from your travels.” Along with folk art, glassware and fun statement pieces, feel free to mix the look up with woven baskets or something tribal. And don’t forget plants are a great way to bring an air of carefree cool to your scheme, and can be dotted around a room to great effect. “I love the idea of travelling the world, finding hidden gems on great escapes and bringing back unique, oneoff pieces to add charm and character to my home,” says Claire Hornby, creative stylist at Barker & Stonehouse.“ Many furniture designers are finding inspiration in far-flung places and incorporating ethnic fabrics,

reclaimed woods from afar and bold prints into their collections. “You can completely redesign a room, or simply add a hint of exoticism from overseas by using the right accessories,” adds Hornby. “Start with an eye-catching piece and build your accessories and colour scheme around it. Team with a rich, deep colour on the walls to pull the look together, and bring it to life with an exposed, sanded wood floor for an industrial take on going global. Soften the look with beautiful woven rugs from afar.”

There’s plenty of room in this scheme for your own personal finds, too, so if you’re jetting off this summer, don’t forget to leave some extra room in your suitcase for those rare finds; treasures and brocades from the souk market, carved decos or even a beaded kaftan if you’re feeling free-spirited. And if you’re not jetting off overseas any time soon, simply explore the shops at home instead. By Sam Wylie-Harris, Press Association

WHY USE REFORMED PLASTICS? There is a product that is truly environmentally friendly, totally inert and infinitely recyclable. A product that looks & feels like wood but requires no painting or staining and is completely maintenance free throughout its 50+ Year life. Reformed Plastics products are manufactured from 100% UK plastic waste such as waste packaging, waste drinking cups, plastic bottles and other similar items that are not biodegradable and often cause a major disposal headache for local authorities. It is truly environmentally friendly, recycled, infinitely recyclable AND generates no waste during manufacture. The appearance and feel is the same as wood but requires no painting or staining. Here at Reformed Plastics we manufacture many products usually associated with timber from such material, including decking and boardwalks, fencing, gates, pavilions/amphitheatres, bollards, ground reinforcement, street and garden furniture, plus much more. We can also refurbish existing timber benches/tables with our product. Projects using our material may even be eligible for many eco grants on offer. Our aim is to provide a product that is made from 100% recycled UK waste therefore reducing landfill, but without compromising on quality. In fact the quality, durability and lifespan is better than regular wood. Our products are individually manufactured in our Bournemouth premises, please contact us with any specific requirements you may have and we’ll do our utmost to accommodate. What we do - The Facts. 1. Waste in the UK goes to landfill which are already working to full capacity. 2. The largest lake in the Britain could be filled with rubbish from the UK in 8 months. 3. Plastic in these sites takes 1000 years to rot away. 4. In an average county there is 90,000 tonnes of plastic that goes to landfill every year. 5. On average, 16% of the money you spend on a product pays for the packaging, which ultimately ends up as rubbish. Why recycle? Recycling is an excellent way of saving energy and conserving the environments natural resources. One recycled plastic bottle would save enough energy to power a 60-watt light bulb for 3 hours. The unreleased energy contained in the average dustbin each year could power a television for 5,000 hours.

MOTORING NEWS The latest news on all things motoring. By Nick Fletcher

ROAD TEST: KIA SORENTO

208 SALES BOOM

162

Peugeot is expecting a 65-plate sales boom with its revised 208 model, as it says the car is so new ‘the paint will barely be dry!’ Although first launched in 2012, the 208 has now been extensively revised, with a more assertive design and new ultra-efficient engines and an enhanced specification which includes extra safety equipment. The 208’s new front end creates a sharper and more precise line, with a wider grille and deeper chrome finisher that is now fully integrated. At the rear, the LED light clusters have been redesigned to incorporate PEUGEOT’s signature 3D ‘claws’ motif. Enhancements include exclusive new 16 and 17-inch wheel options, available in a choice of painted, diamante and laser-engraved finishes. Personalisation option packs – two interior and two exterior – are now also part of the 208 range, each available in either Menthol White or Lime Yellow. These striking additions to the 208’s elegant style are a factory-fit option on most models. Key to the appeal of the new 208 is its new engine range. Every diesel 208 has CO2 emissions of below 95g/km. Expected to prove most popular is the 1.6-litre 75 hp diesel engine, mated to a five-speed manual gearbox. It’s capable of 94.2 mpg combined Cycle – a segment record – with CO2 emissions of just 79 g/km. Petrol engines remain a popular choice and the revised line-up features PureTech threecylinder units – either 1.0-litre 68 hp or 1.2-litre 82 hp. The new 208 is available in three and fivedoor body styles and comes in four trim levels: Access A/C, Active, Allure and GT Line. The latter is a new addition to the range and, following the lead of the larger 308, adopts many of the styling attributes of the iconic GTi model. Prices for the new PEUGEOT 208 start from £11,695, with the most popular Active and Allure models priced from £12,495 and £14,195 respectively.

Kia launched its four wheel drive Sorento SUV back in 2002 and it proved a popular and reliable model. Now, the third-generation version is available, offering major strides in engineering, refinement and quality, writes NICK FLETCHER. The Sorento is Kia’s flagship, with top spec models costs £41,000 and offering executive class and style. The new Sorento is longer, lower, wider and more spacious than its predecessor. It has a lot of extra safety and convenience features and there are six versions available in the UK, priced from £27,000. All models are powered by a revised 197 hp 2.2 litre diesel engine with either a six speed manual gearbox or a six-speed automatic. All have permanent 4WD and all are seven-seaters. And all have Kia’s industry-leading seven-year warranty. New Sorento is large and imposing, and has classy, elegant styling. The cabin is thoughtfully designed, offering an excellent driving position with great visibilty, and very comfortable seating.

The instrument and switchgear layout is userfriendly and you immediately feel at home behind the wheel. Trim materials are high quality and the cabin has a plush premium look and feel. When driving, you instantly notice the refinement - minimal wind and road noise, and superbly supple ride quality. The engine is exceptionally quiet, smooth, responsive, and I never had to work it hard to get brisk performance. The 0-60 mph time of 9 seconds is nippy, top speed is 124 mph and the fuel figure 46.3 mpg combined. My test model was the KX-3 (one down from the flagship KX-4) and costing £35,845 in manual form. Standard kit is extensive and includes 18-inch alloys, leather upholstery, heated front and rear seats, panoramic sunroof, auto lights and wipers, privacy glass, heated steering wheel, dual zone air-con, cruise control with speed limiter, smart entry, allwheel drive, reversing camera, 10-speaker DAB radio, Bluetooth, sat-nav with 8-inch touch screen, and lane departure warning. And that really is the short-list!

NEW OPEN-TOP FERRARI Petrol-heads are standing by for the new Ferrari 488 Spider, which features a 3.9 litre turbo-charged V8 engine giving a 0-60 mph time of just 3 seconds and a top speed of 203 mph. The car, which has a retractable hard-top, will be unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September when further details and prices will be announced. The hard-top folds backwards in two overlapping sections to rest flush on the engine. The mechanism is exceptionally smooth and takes just 14 seconds for the top to fully retract or deploy.

Ferrari says this model is the most aerodynamically efficient Spider ever built, thanks to a series of complex aero solutions designed to guarantee optimal downforce whilst reducing drag. Says Ferrari: “Over all, response times are 9 per cent more rapid than the previous Spider without any compromise whatsoever being made in comfort. The car’s design was adapted to efficiently meet the typical the demands of open-top driving and use. In fact, the Spider’s dynamic behaviour is effortless on even the most challenging routes. It is remarkably easy to drive on the limit thanks to flawless handling even on the most demanding of roads.”

FOOD & DRINK

THE PORKY DISH THAT PULLS IN PUNTERS Affordable, tasty and versatile, it’s no wonder our appetite for pulled pork shows no sign of waning. Everywhere you look, from fast-food chains and high-street favourites, all the way up to high-end restaurants, it seems some version of the American barbecue classic will be on the menu. Indeed, you can order it in soft bun at a Beefeater restaurant, liven up your picnics with a packet of Waitrose Pulled Pork Sausage Rolls, or slurp on New Covent Garden Tennessee Pulled Pork & Bean soup at lunchtime. While our craving for this flaky delight is evidently well catered for out and about, affable TV chef Tom Kerridge thinks it’s a doddle to recreate at home too.

Cooked over a low temperature for a long time, there’s limited faff required, and the slow cook time means you can get away with using a cheap cut of meat like pork shoulder. “A dish like pulled pork really could be the answer for busy families who still want to enjoy a Sunday meal together,” says Wiltshire-born Kerridge, who is behind Love Pork’s new pulled pork campaign. “All you need to do is apply a rub to the pork, stick it in the oven and then go enjoy your Sunday, while the oven does all the hard work. It’s much less fiddly than a roast, and pulling it apart with two forks at the end is easier than carving.” Fancy having a go? Try Tom Kerridge’s Perfect Pulled Pork recipe

Ingredients

TOM KERRIDGE’S PERFECT PULLED PORK

1.5kg pork shoulder

(Serves 6-8)

1L chicken stock To make the spice rub, mix together: 50g table salt 75g muscovado sugar 1tbsp dried sage 1tbsp English mustard powder 1tsp dried thyme 1tbsp cracked black pepper 1tbsp cumin seeds, toasted 3 star anise, toasted and crushed 1tsp garlic powder

Method Lay the pork shoulder in a roasting dish and with a sharp knife, score 10 or so deep holes into the flesh. Rub the combined spice mix all over the meat and into the grooves you’ve made, making sure the mix is fully rubbed in. Wrap the joint completely in cling film and place in the fridge overnight. The following day, remove the pork from the fridge and take off the cling film. Place in a casserole dish and pour over the chicken stock. Cover with a lid and place into a pre-heated oven at 150C for five-six hours - at the four-hour mark, remove the lid for a crispy crust. Once cooked, remove from the oven and leave to rest for half hour or so before pulling the meat apart with a fork.

HEALTH & BEAUTY

HEALTH & FITNESS Charlie Lowe from the fastest growing bootcamp ‘Wassmuffin Fitter Than fit’ talks Fitness, well being, healthy eating and of course Thai Boxing.

QUIT TALKING START DOING

Don’t wait until January to make that lifestyle change, what if you could start January already feeling and looking amazing ? Positive health is about maintaining a minimum level of health and fitness to keep your body looking and feeling good, but also maintaining a level of physical fitness which will enable you to manage and enjoy your daily lifestyle. Health and fitness is determined by what we eat, how we live our lives, our choice of leisure pursuits and what we do to keep ourselves physically fit. Keeping fit is about how we as individuals choose to live our lives and the levels of fitness we aspire to. We all need a certain amount of the right type of exercise to keep us healthy, regardless of our lifestyle, age or physical ability. Remaining physically fit is important and here are a few reasons you should give us a call. 1. SLEEP BETTER Exercise can help you sleep better. People who exercise tend to fall asleep quicker and stay asleep longer.

4. REDUCES BLOOD PRESSURE Exercise not only reduces high blood pressure, it helps prevent it. 5. REDUCES RISK OF INJURY If you have a strong, fit body, the chances of injury significantly decrease.Some studies show that exercising regularly can help decrease colon cancer risk by 40% and may help reduce the risk of breast cancer as well. 6. INCREASES METABOLIC RATE Exercise not only will increase the total number of calories that you burn, but also can increase your resting metabolic rate, so you burn more calories while at rest. 7. INCREASES RANGE OF MOTION An increase in flexibility can decreases stiffness in joints, and can decrease pain and inflammation associated with arthritis.

2. IMPROVES SELF ESTEEM Regardless of your body appearance, regular fitness helps improve your self-esteem.

8. INCREASES FUNCTIONAL STRENGTH From getting out of a chair, to lifting an object off the ground, our bodies are able to perform daily activities better.

3. DECREASES BACK PAIN By increasing muscle strength, endurance, and improving flexibility and posture, regular exercise helps to prevent back pain. Studies show that exercise is an effective treatment for recurrent low back pain.

9. WEIGHT CONTROL While some research shows exercise increases appetite while others shows exercises suppresses appetite, one thing is for sure: regular exercise helps control weight.

Your first class is FREE, all you need to do is turn up, the rest is easy! Contact us: Charlie 07968855163 or Michael 07766090116 info@fitterthanfit.co.uk | www.fitterthanfit.co.uk 168

10. IMPROVES SEX DRIVE Exercise increases circulation, which helps prevent erectile dysfunction and impotence. Exercise can increase sex hormones like testosterone. 11. REDUCES RISK OF HEART DISEASE Regular exercise strengthens the heart and improves contractile function 12. EXERCISE IS FUN AND ENJOYABLE Yep, it’s really true. There are so many ways to “move” that there is bound to be one you enjoy. Try making exercise more competitive, or social if you need extra motivation. The hard part of course is getting started. 13. EXERCISE PROLONGS LIFE People who exercise regularly tend to live longer. 14. REDUCES ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION Exercise is a great mood elevator to help you manage stress and reduce anxiety. The antidepressant effect of regular physical exercise is comparable to the potent antidepressants like Sertraline. 15. IMPROVES FAT UTILIZATION Improves your body’s ability to use fat for energy during physical activity. Our bodies use glycogen and fat as stored energy to help sustain us. 16. STRENGTHENS IMMUNE SYSTEM Just about any doctor will tell you no pill or nutritional supplement has the power of near daily moderate activity in lowering the number of sick days people take. 17. STRENGTHENS YOUR BONES Lifting weights helps prevent osteoporosis, which is so important because a shocking 1 out of 2 women will be diagnosed with osteoporosis. 18. LOSE THE HIDDEN FAT But just like the fat that leads to belly rolls and love handles, internal fat — called visceral fat — also can be prevented and eradicated with regular exercise.

HEALTH & BEAUTY

HEALTH & BEAUTY The latest beauty tips and treatments from the owner of Chic Beauty Salon & Academy, Sophie Tamagna

MY C9 JOURNEY When I talk with clients regarding their skin concerns it’s not always a change of skin products or techniques that can improve clients skin, it’s from within, therefore we need to look at the bigger picture and start focusing on health and lifestyle changes - combined with educating clients on their product use this is when we see the REAL results! So when I started to read about the C9 Cleanse, which I hasten to add was the most searched for Diet online in 2014, I became intrigued and wanted to know more! I lead a healthy lifestyle and exercise daily and I’ve always been sceptical when it comes to detoxes and diets which promise incredible results in a short space of time. However I really wanted to try this 9 day ‘detox in a box’ which claims to make you feel fitter, healthier and full of energy! Weight loss is not a purpose or guarantee of the C9 but if you follow it to the book then it’s inevitable - and who wouldn’t want to see a few pounds off here or there! So upon starting the C9 my goal was to look and feel better and reduce caffeine and sugar cravings, after all I am a self-confessed 8 cups (ok, large mugs) of coffee a day girl – something had to give!

The best thing about the C9 is it’s so user friendly. Everything you need comes in the box apart from your 600 calorie meals that you’re allowed on days 3-9 – but with a wealth of recipes on the C9 forums it really couldn’t be easier to get inspiration and to follow! As with any detox Days 1 and 2 were definitely the most difficult – it really showed to me that making a coffee or grabbing a quick unhealthy snack are all habit forming exercises that I associated with certain times of the day – for example a quick cuppa before the school pick up, followed by a another one upon returning home. Now replaced with my large water bottle! It’s recommended you drink 8 glasses a day on the C9. And for me the hardest part was the absence of that long awaited glass of wine I consume on a daily basis to toast my children going to bed!

The C9 is part of the Forever Living family of Aloe based products so step one is to find your local representative who can give you advice, support and guidance through the days ahead.

So having completed days 1 and 2 consuming a combination of Aloe Vera Gel, supplement Tablets with a tasty Vanilla Protein shake to keep me going I was feeling pretty good! It’s suggested you weigh in on days 1, 3, 6 and 9 so I jumped on the scales in the morning of day 3 to find I had lost 4.4lbs!!! Fantastic!

I got in contact with Amanda Clarke - the lady in the know when it comes to the C9! Following

As I continued onto days 3-9 I started to introduce a 600 calories meal with 30 minutes of moderate

a consultation to access my suitability for the programme (it’s not recommended for people with certain health issues) I was given the ok and a few days later I received my C9 box! So with the coffee mug put down and the lid screwed firmly back on the biscuit tin – I was underway!

ENJOY YOU TiME FOR LESS TREATMENTS INCLUDE

exercise in the evening and before I knew it I had reached the goal! Day 9 had arrived! It’s now a week since I finished the C9 and I’m so pleased with the results. In total I have lost 9lbs – brilliant! But most importantly I am totally refocused on following a clean living diet. All my sugar and caffeine cravings have gone and my energy levels are still sky high. The biggest positive from the experience has to be the massive change in my sleep pattern. I’m now sleeping through the night as opposed to waking a few times every night! That in turn has dramatically improved my skin complexion and banished the dark circles under my eyes! I can genuinely say the Clean 9 works, and while it’s not easy – the rewards more than make up for it. It’s a perfect detox to do before the party season and can help you lose those extra pounds before an event. I will definitely revisit it in the New Year. In the meantime I am sticking with the Aloe Vera Gel, as its done wonders for my skin – even if it is an acquired taste! If you’re interested in the C9 and its associated benefits and want to jump start your new healthy lifestyle then contact Amanda Clarke on mandaclarke@flp. com or 07960 872749.
