NEWS PATRICK’S 10TH ANNIVERSARY, NEW LOOK, NEW CHEF The latest news storys in your area.

SUPER QUICK SALE!

Patrick’s, the Ashley Cross based restaurant and bar, is celebrating its 10th birthday in June with a bold new look and menu. The popular venue has been welcoming customers wanting to dine or drink in convivial surroundings since opening in June 2006 and the 1930’s building and former bank already provides the benefit of stunning sash windows and high ceilings. However as proprietor Patrick Michael explains, the team are not ones to rest on their laurels.

Patrick’s offers a calendar of cabaret By completing the Bournemouth Bay 10k Run

If evidence was needed that the local property market is relatively buoyant, then Pettengells of New Milton are pleased to report a recent sale which demonstrates that with both a willing seller and purchaser as well as good solicitors, a sale can go through smoothly and quickly.

“We decided our tenth anniversary was a great time to ring the changes and have ended up getting adventurous by opting for bright orange feature walls, contrasting with white brickwork wall paper. It felt like a risk to be this bold but we’re thrilled with the effect and have great feedback with everyone telling us they love it. We’ve also added a chill out area in the bar with a leather sofa and chairs where customers can kick back with the papers or have a relaxed catch up with friends”.

Pettengells initially valued a bungalow in Ashmore Avenue, Barton on Sea and on Friday 4th March and listed the property for sale on the following Monday. Within a week a sale was agreed and by the end of March exchanged contracts and legally completed!

One thing that isn’t set to change is the fantastic customer service as Patrick himself explains.

Should you be considering making a move (quick or otherwise!), then Pettengells would be delighted to provide you with a free valuation with no obligation. Please call 01425 629100.

“A business like ours depends on having great staff and I’m delighted to have retained so many from setting up Patrick’s a decade ago. It may sound a cliché but we genuinely do work as one happy team which makes all the difference to the service we provide. With their support, a new look and menu, along with our valued customers, present and future, this is a great time to celebrate the past ten years as well as feeling excited about taking Patrick’s forward into a new decade.”

DRAIN DOCTOR TO THE RESCUE Drain Doctor recently took the role of ‘doctor’ far further than usual. Three technicians from Drain Doctor worked tirelessly for a week to replace one of the main pipes at the emergency department of the Royal Bournemouth Hospital.

In the heart of busy ambulance traffic and under the glow of blue lights, essential maintenance was undertaken and a 75 metre discharge pipe was replaced to keep the hospital open.

If you find yourself with an issue or emergency with your drains or plumbing, no matter the size of the problem, Drain Doctor is always there to help.

The technicians managed to change the pipe in two days, and worked around the clock for a week to keep the hospital running smoothly and preventing the emergency department from closing.

SWAIN & RANDS INTRODUCE THE NEW LIVINROOM… The LivinRoom Orangery is the latest addition to Swain & Rands ever-growing range of home improvement products. The LivinRoom Orangery is the best of both worlds, combining the light and sky views of a conservatory with the walls and ceiling of an extension. The LivinRoom Orangery is a truly multi-functional home extension, creating a pleasant and relaxing space. Alternatively it can be used as a perfect family room. The LivinRoom Orangery uses the well proven Ultraframe Classic roof at its heart, and a well-engineered internal framework is added, then plastered, to give a perimeter ceiling all the way round. The LivinRoom Orangery can be used in a range of shapes from Victorian, Georgian, Lean-to and Gables. The LivinRoom Orangery is also suitable to be used with box gutters, meaning there is almost no limit to the design you can have. To further enhance the usability of the LivinRoom Orangery, down lighters and speakers can be built into the perimeter roof, so the homeowner can truly stamp their mark on this living space. A further option is the external Cornice aluminium guttering which adds to the overall external visual effect of this magnificent home improvement. For a modern, contemporary crossover between a conservatory and extension then the must have product is a Swain & Rands LivinRoom Orangery. To find out more about this product, or any home improvement that Swain & Rands can offer feel free to contact the office on 01202 536 422, email info@swainandrands.co.uk or visit www.swainandrands.co.uk

NEW ALERT SYSTEM HELPS MINIMISE RISK OF CYBER ATTACKS Following the recent spate of cyber attacks that have hit the news headlines, Bournemouth-based communications specialists and independent family business Town & Country Communications has introduced a new alert system for their clients to help protect them against costly attacks.

Town & Country Communications are Dorset’s only independent, family run telecommunications business. Established for over twenty years, they manage the telecommunications (landlines or mobile) for a number of the area’s leading companies including Churchill Retirement Living, Britannia Parking and Steele Raymond.

To help minimise the risk for their clients, Town & Country has launched an email alert notification service that works 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, which is activated when system parameters have been breached. This notifies both Town & Country and the client so that the legitimacy of any irregular calls can be verified and an immediate stop put on the system if it has been the target of fraudulent activity.

For more information, please contact Town & Country Communications on 01202 514444 or visit www.town-andcountry-comms.co.uk

As part of the new notification system, Town & Country can also set up alerts on business mobiles to prevent customers from incurring additional costs related to data usage and non-standard calls to premium and international numbers, particularly worthwhile when travelling abroad.

BESPOKE 4 BUSINESS ADOPT JULIA’S HOUSE AS THEIR OFFICIAL CHARITY Poole-based digital marketing agency Bespoke 4 Business has announced they have adopted Julia’s House as their official charity of the year. Having decided to make a commitment to fundraising for charity this year, the 25-strong workforce at Bespoke 4 Business were asked for local charity nominations and then voted from a shortlist of three with the Dorset and Wiltshire Children’s Hospices charity being declared the worthy winner. Julia’s House receives just five percent of the income they need from the government to run their vital free service and are one of the worst funded hospices in the whole country. They provide regular respite care for families with life limited children all over Dorset and in South Wiltshire, both in their hospice and in their own homes.

In order to really pull out all the stops and raise as much money as they can for Julia’s House, Bespoke 4 Business have formed an internal charity committee to organise their fundraising efforts and activities throughout the year, which staff and clients of the agency will be invited to take part in. www.bespoke4business.com

MARVELLOUS MARCH Goadsby Lettings in Westbourne & Canford Cliffs are delighted to announce their continued success in 2016 with a marvellous March. Over the month the team agreed 9 new provisional lets and had 12 move-ins leaving landlords and tenants alike over the moon! The Goadsby team were keen to build on an already extremely successful 2016 with record breaking numbers of lets and this March has only strengthened a growing reputation for efficiency and great customer service. The properties let in March were of all shapes, sizes and prices, varying from a stunning 3/4 bedroom detached bungalow in Branksome Park which let for £2,250 PCM, to a small but terrific value for Money 1/2 bedroom conversion in Alum Chine let at £695 PCM. Alexander Henley from Goadsby comments “Our continued success in March really shows the huge demand for rental properties in the Westbourne and Canford Cliffs vicinity. I believe the rest of 2016 will continue in this vain and would love to speak to anyone who has a property they would like to let out or indeed if you are searching for your new home”. For an informal discussion regarding investment properties, the rental process and the level of services we provide please contact our friendly and helpful team on 01202 767610.

CUSTOM MADE EXCLUSIVE FURNITURE Neil Roberts and Steve Burke have between them over 50 years experience in designing, manufacturing and installing custom made furniture... you would never know it to look at them! Based in Poole, Custom Made Furniture is one of the region’s leading names in bedroom and fitted furniture. So what is it that makes the company so successful? The dynamic duo put it down to their unique views on customer service, ”Nothing is too much trouble, and we really mean that. We go out of our way to listen to what our customers want and work with them to design a room that is exactly how they had pictured it, from the colours down to the use of the furniture now and how it can work for them in the future. We never just ‘design’ a room; we ‘make’ the room.” Custom Made Furniture covers the whole of Dorset and will happily come and see you in your home to discuss your plans and how you would like your

furniture to work for you. From functional fitted wardrobes to de clutter your room to luxurious walk in wardrobes and dressing areas, each design is carefully considered and every last detail will be captured from finishes down to the personal height of your fully adjustable shelves. Their designs are then put into 3D and presented to you, so that you can really get a feel for how your room will look once the installation is complete. Then from the workshop in Poole, each and every piece of furniture is hand crafted using the finest materials available. Customers are welcome to come and visit the manufacturing process and see how much individual care and attention goes into every piece of furniture by their highly skilled staff. The installation process is then carried out by the team of professional fitters often with Neil or Steve on site to sign off the finished work and ensure that the installation is exactly how it was designed and fitted to the customer’s exact requirements.

ASK THE EXPERT Tony Peters from Planit Mortgages Limited offers his advise on all your mortgage needs

Ask a designer Helen Winter of Coral Interiors So you’ve recently moved house, or are about to. You’re excited at the possibilities, and have a stack of magazine cuttings or Pinterest boards. So how do you translate all those overwhelming ideas into a plan of action for your home? 1. Firstly – set a realistic budget. Remember some things can be bought on interest free credit, and some things you can buy later on, but factor in lighting, flooring, costs of any structural works, furniture and redecoration upfront and be brutally honest. Phase the works if you prefer, but keep a handle on how much you can comfortably afford. And don’t forget eBay, etsy, gumtree or your local car boot sale, whether your tastes are quirky, classic or traditional, it makes sense to supplement shop bought or bespoke items with cost effective used pieces. 2. What’s your taste? It can be really hard to identify your own personal taste, so rather than trying to work it out if you’re more ‘shabby chic’ or ‘eclectic bohemian’ think about how you want to feel when you open your front door, or walk into your living room. Do you want to feel relaxed, energised, sociable? Which colours, textures, patterns will help you feel that way? Velvets, linen, satin or tweed? We all perceive colour very differently, so whilst red is generally seen as stimulating or even overwhelming for some people, you may love the colour and want to use it on a smaller scale in say your dining room, or kitchen. 3. Consider lighting early on Hire an electrician for any necessary wiring for LED downlights, wall lights, or floor sockets, before you start decorating. Lighting should definitely not be an afterthought - a single pendant light in the middle of the room is never enough. 4. Lifestyle requirements Do you have small children, elderly parents or lively dogs in the house? Go easy on the glass, delicate wood or shiny floors, and avoid expensive permanent fittings or décor in children’s rooms, which they will tire of quickly. Wall decals are a wonderful, inexpensive and temporary way to personalise children’s rooms. 5. Struggling to find time to get it all done? Keep changing your mind, or can’t agree with the other half? Consider hiring an interior designer. A professional designer will offer services ranging from a bit of hand holding to give you confidence and set you on the right path, through to full-scale home renovations and project management. An interior designer will help get it right first time, avoiding expensive mistakes, wasted time and stress.

INVESTORS: SHOULD YOU BE USING A LIMITED COMPANY FOR BUY TO LET PROPERTIES? In light of recent legislation changes regarding second and subsequent properties, there has been plenty of speculation amongst property investors as to whether they should sell or keep their properties and if they keep them, should it be within a limited company? In order to make a decision, it is important that you understand the advantages, disadvantages and responsibilities associated with company ownership before making your decision. You should certainly seek advice from your solicitor and accountant before proceeding. You should also be aware that you need file the accounts and financial status of your company with Companies House on an annual basis with fines and severe censure if you do not.

ADVANTAGES Higher tax relief: From 2017 to 2020 higher tax relief will be reduced from 45% to 20% for top rate payers. However, these cuts will not affect limited companies so if you are a higher rate payer, the tax payable will be lower for a limited company. No tax on dividends under £5,000 for individuals: From April 2016 a new dividend allowance of £5,000 comes in. This means that the first £5,000 profit can be tax free. No income tax for re-invested profits: You can grow your portfolio quicker in a limited company as there is no income tax on retained profit, thus allowing you to have more cash to re-invest. Corporation tax is still due but this is 20% (reducing to 18% by 2020) as compared to 40% for higher rate taxpayers.

DISADVANTAGES No CGT allowances: As an individual, you have an annual allowance of £11,100 (2015/16) which you would not have as a company so by selling your property through the company, you will have to pay more CGT. Additional costs: You will need to use an accountant to prepare your company accounts for Companies House and HMRC which may also need to be audited, increasing professional costs. Your accountant may also charge more for companies than individuals. Higher mortgage rates: Most lenders charge companies higher interest rates compared to individuals as there is more work involved. Reduced choice of lenders and rates: Most High St lenders will not lend to limited companies, leaving it to the specialist lenders who generally have higher rates and fees. There are a few enlightened lenders who see no difference between the two and offer as good terms to limited companies as they do to individuals right up to 80% LTV.

SO, SHOULD YOU DO IT THEN? That’s the million dollar question. It would be too easy to say yes or no without knowing you but it really does boil down to your individual circumstances. Think long and hard before you do. Speak to professionals and be sure what you are doing before you do it. You will be liable for both CGT and SDLT (Stamp Duty Land Tax) which itself will now be 3% higher so make sure you have the funds before you start. However, if you intend to expand your portfolio and become a full-time property professional then limited company is the wisest choice. If you have any questions or you are considering a limited company as a vehicle, please contact us to discuss your options.

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

Could your property earn more than you? A recent study has revealed that house prices have increased so dramatically in some parts of the UK that one in four properties now ‘earn’ more than their owner. Research from the Halifax has revealed that the average house price in the UK has outpaced the average net salary in more than a quarter of local authority districts over the past two years. Over the last year alone, the

SETTING YOU ON THE PATH TO GARDENING SUCCESS

number of areas where house prices have increased more than average salary has reached 108 out of the 380 districts (28%) from 73 out of 384 (19%) last year. As expected, a large number of these areas are in London, representing 90% of the 108 areas. The largest gap found between house prices and salaries was found in Three Rivers in Hertfordshire, where property values went up by an average of £147,990 over the last two years alone. This is clearly good news for some homeowners as the housing market continues to recover well over the last few years. But it is also a tough situation for those looking- to buy their first home as increasing prices pushes it further out of reach. Fortunately, there are several governmental schemes and initiatives to help first-time buyers save for and utilise their deposits. With the Help to Buy Equity Loan Scheme still available and the recently launched Help to Buy ISA offering bonus top-ups on deposits, there are some good options open to first-time buyers. If you are looking to discuss buying a property for the first time, contact us and we can talk over all the latest initiatives and products to help get you onto the property ladder.

With a reputation for providing quality products at competitive prices look no further for all your outdoor and landscaping requirements. Have a question or need advice? Call me on 01202 651300

or email at matt@cherryfinance.co.uk or visit our website www.cherryfinance.co.uk. Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage. There will be a fee for the advice given, the exact amount will depend upon your circumstances but we estimate it will be £250.

Help to Buy is a government scheme created to help first time buyers and existing home owners to purchase a home, and get on the property ladder, with as little as a 5% deposit. How does it work? The government lends you up to 20% of the purchase price of your new build home, so you will need a 5% cash deposit and a 75% mortgage. There are no loan fees charged on the 20% loan for the first five years. Example of Help to Buy on a home with a purchase price of £200,000 Can I use the Help to Buy scheme? Equity loans are available to first time buyers as well as homeowners. The home you want to buy must be a new build property with a price tag of up to £600,000. You will need a 5% cash deposit to use the scheme. You must not own any other property at the time you buy your new home. Where are Help to Buy homes available? Help to Buy homes are available from house builders registered to offer Help to Buy homes in England. Registered builders will make it clear in their advertising if Help to Buy homes are available on their development sites. Are there any restrictions on the mortgage provider? Your first charge mortgage must be from a qualifying lending institution. These include lenders who are authorised under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, and who have permission to enter into regulated mortgage contracts. This is likely to include most banks and building societies. The Financial Conduct Authority keeps a register of authorised persons on its website. The register can be found at www.fca.org.uk/register Your solicitor/conveyancer will check that the lender is compliant before a sale can proceed.

TALKING BUSINESS

TALKING BUSINESS House talks business with Thacker & Revitt

Thacker & Revitt Residential Sales and Lettings Honest, friendly and efficient We popped by Thacker and Revitt to speak with co-owners ‘Martin Thacker’ and ‘Heather Revitt’, to find out how they do business. Martin can you give us a little insight into the company for readers who might not be as familiar with you? Heather and I worked for a large corporate company, until one day we decided to go out on our own. We’ve been in business for just over 10 years now. We began in 2006 with no clients at all and now we manage over 350 properties. The business has gone from strength to strength. Last year due to demand from our existing clients, we decided to open a Sales department as well, to complement our long standing sales and lettings service. We began with just the two of us and we didn’t have a day off in our first year of business, we are very proud that with our staff there are now seven of us. What was it that drew you to a career in property? …Actually it was a bit of a fluke. I went for two interviews: one to be a driving instructor and the other as a trainee negotiator. I got offered both, but decided that I was going to persue property. I began as a trainee and worked my way up to area manager. Going through the ranks on the way, I think I must have experienced every part of the property sales and lettings process. What is it about this industry you enjoy? I like helping people. With our landlords, we like to go the extra mile with our assistance. We take the time to care for their individual needs and end up giving all sorts of advice, even choosing kitchens, carpets and tiles for them at times. It’s important to us, having that long-term relationship. I think estate agents do get generalized with a bad name, but it’s important that people feel that they can genuinely trust us – we want them to know that they are in safe hands.

Thacker and Revitt have managed our property portfolio since 2006, and their performance has been superb, we would not hesitate to recommend them to other landlords. - P Thomas

We’ve only recently started really advertising, mostly for the property sales, to showcase client’s properties. Prior to that, the majority of our business came from our existing clients, recommending us to other clients. How was that journey, starting your own business? It was scary, and a lot of hard work, but it felt like the right thing to do. We both had to give up our jobs, a company car, all of our securities, but we are so glad we did it. We had the confidence that we could offer a quality service, and it paid off. By the end of the first year we had a hundred properties under management and had made a profit. Our portfolio of properties has continued to grow every year since. What is it that drives you to succeed? When we set-up the business, it wasn’t all about money. It’s always been about doing a good job and providing a service that we would be happy to receive ourselves. Making people happy is what drives us. Is there something unique about the way you look after your clients? Yes, our customer service. We are very honest; we will always be truthful with customers, even if they don’t always want to hear it, though not in a brash way. A lot of new clients we take on say that they’re fed up, they just want to be told the truth and to be looked after, with a high level of customer service. We are very proud of our feedback from clients. With spring just around the corner, are there any plans for development? We have invested heavily in a new cloud based computer system for our Sales department, which allows us to offer an out of hour’s e mail service. This enables us to deal with queries, book viewings and update vendors and purchasers much more freely and during hours which suit them better.

Martin, Heather and their fantastic staff here have been my agents for the past 4 years and have always provided me with a 1st class service. - S Richmond stop investors buying though, because your money is still better invested in property, rather than sitting in a bank and not accumulating any profit. In 5 years from now, where do you see yourself? We want to grow the sales business. We started it a year ago and it has gone better than we could have hoped for. We would like it to be as successful as our lettings side of the business. This would also enable us to take on more staff. Being able to offer employment to others is something that we are very proud of. What do you think makes a good entrepreneur? You have to believe in what you are doing. You also have to be prepared to move with the times and continually improve your knowledge of the market, legislation and business. You have also got to like what you are doing. Businesses that get set up purely to make money, with no passion and drive, often fail. Our comments: Their team seemed to really love what they do, listening in to phone conversations with clients, and seeing people pop in and out of the office, there was a genuine synergy and enjoyable atmosphere and buzz in the office. If you are looking for an honest, closeknit team, who will give you a fantastic customer experience, then you need Thacker and Revitt.

People like consistency, that’s what we want to maintain. A lot of companies have accounts in one building, sales in another and you end up getting passed back and forth and that’s no good. Everything is done in house from this office. Our business is owner run and managed. What is your opinion on the rise of stamp duty? It’s difficult because people are still in the mindset of what has happened up until now. We had a huge surge of investors pulling out all of the stops to buy and sell before the rate changed at the end of March. We think people will take the stamp duty increase into account when making offers. It won’t

TENANTS NEW RIGHTS ON HOME EFFICIENCY From April 2016, landlords cannot say ‘no’ to a tenant wishing works to be done on their property to improve their energy efficiency, unless they have valid reason to refuse the request, this could be: 1. If the works being requested would not change the rating of the property. 2. There would be a cost to the landlord. The Government was funding ‘The Green Deal’ when it decided to introduce this legislation a couple of years ago to take effect from April 2016, however, they ceased this funding in July 2015. So now, if a private tenant wanted to go ahead and have the works done, it would come out of their own pocket rather than the government approved fund. Energy efficiency is rated between A and G. To achieve a grading, the following is taken into consideration; cavity wall insulation, loft insulation, boiler, double glazing and light bulbs. These grading’s do make a difference to a tenant or purchaser considering a property to rent or buy – especially if they are undecided on a couple of properties, as the better the efficiency, the better the household utility bills are and will ultimately influence their decision. From 2018, F and G energy rated properties will be banned from being rented on any new tenancies. A landlord could find themselves not only breaking the law, but fined £4000. In some of the recent rulings of other legislations, landlords have been known to have to pay back rents received during the time a property was illegally rented, therefore this could also come into play. From 2020, all privately rented homes on new or existing tenancies granted with an F or G rating will be banned. Most properties do fall under the E or below rating, however, the government is very keen to make rental properties not only energy efficient but to also outlaw rogue landlords and letting agents who are renting out uninhabitable homes.

Is your conservatory too hot in summer and too cold in winter?

Transform your conservatory into a room you can use much more often A Comfort Room insulated ceiling is the affordable solution to the too hot, too cold that many conservatories have, but it is not the only benefit. It can reduce the sound of the rain and sun glare, as well as helping save on your energy bills.

Only 5% VAT Reduces sun glare Reduces rain noise Energy saving Minimal disruption 2 to 5 days to fit

For an interior and exterior transformation, the SupaLite tiled conservatory replacement roof gives you the plaster finish interior of a Comfort Room, and the lightweight roof tiles give your conservatory the external look of an extension. Both systems can be installed in 2 to 5 days, so both options offer minimal disruption, unlike larger scale building works. Call us to find out more or visit our website comfortroomsltd. com to find out how we can transform your conservatory.

DOES IT NEED TO BE CLEANED? Our products only need to be cleaned after a spillage. The collection of airborne dirt is inevitable and we would recommend a simple spray-down with a hose or wipe over with a damp cloth on a regular basis to ensure that your purchase is kept in the best condition.

WHY ARE RECYCLED PLASTIC PRODUCTS DIFFERENT? Plastic lumber is the perfect alternative to anything that has ever needed maintaining. Plastic lumber can be cut with a regular saw, drilled, nailed or screwed into and routed as easily as wood. • Does not rot • Will not need painting or staining • Is wear resistant • Resistant to vandalism • Resistant to salt water • Resistant to insects and bacteria

HOW STRONG IS IT? It is extremely solid and strong being able to withstand stress levels of well over 10 tons. It is heavy, durable, virtually indestructible and will not need to be replaced. In short, it is worry free.

IS THERE A COLOUR CHOICE? Yes. Our main colours are black and brown. However, we can produce products to a choice of colours! This removes the need for painting & staining. So whatever colour is required... just ask!

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

NEW MINI CLUBMAN MINI has launched a new ‘fleet-focussed’ version of its MINI One D Clubman which will be available in April priced from £21,375. Specification includes MINI Navigation, DAB radio, Bluetooth, cruise control and MINI Connected pack. The 3-cylinder 1.5 litre diesel engine offers 74.3 mpg and CO2 emissions of 99g/km. The car’s signature design feature – its split rear doors – are retained on this model, while accessibility and everyday usability are further enhanced thanks to four full-sized side doors. MINI says that over 50% of Clubman customers are expected to choose the brand’s Chili pack which adds a host of additional extras to the car. These features include cloth/leather upholstery with heated sports seats, MINI’s comfort access system, park distance control, automatic air conditioning, LED headlights and LED fog lights among other features. Chili pack is priced at £2,785 across all

ROAD TEST: MERCEDES-BENZ B CLASS 180 SE The Mercedes-Benz B Class is essentially a family hatchback, but it offers more space than most, a more impressive cabin and a more exclusive image, writes NICK FLETCHER. Mercedes descibes the car as a ‘compact sports tourer’ and there are petrol and diesel options, with prices starting at £21,825 and the sporty flagship AMG versions topping £30,000. The B Class is more distinctive in appearance than class rivals. While perhaps not as svelte as some, it has a lot of road presence thanks to its eye-catching frontend design, dominated by a large and unmistakable three-pointed badge. Inside the cabin also demands attention, with an elegant design which features a big twin-dial binnacle and aircraftstyle circular air-vents. Higher quality soft-touch materials also give the cabin a more elegant and luxurious ambiance. The featured model is the entry-level diesel, priced at £22,900, and utilising a 1.5 litre engine giving 109 hp. Top speed is 118 mph, the 0-60 mph time 11.6 seconds. Those stats are not outstanding by class standards but the fuel economy figure from this smaller engine is impressive – 70.6 mpg combined.

Entry-level SE cars come with plenty of standard equipment, including 16-inch alloy wheels, leatherette upholstery, iPod connectivity, reversing camera and city braking technology. Sport models add extra kit including larger 17-inch alloy wheels and automatic headlights and wipers. Range-topping AMG Line cars add subtle styling details, more potent looking bumpers and 18-inch wheels among extra features. Underway, this B Class handles well but you do notice a firmer ride than you would get in most hatchbacks, though the upside of this is that you get tighter body control and reassuring handling. The power delivery is smooth and while the car is not that quick off the mark, it does have decent mid-range flexibility. It is easy to get a good driving position as there is a lot of adjustment on the seat and steering wheel. Front visibility is good though the rear screen is rather shallow. The major plus-points of the B Class are its generous space for both front and rear occupants, large boot providing almost 500 litres without folding the seats, its premium-look interior and of course the kudos that always comes with the Mercedes badge.

SKODA SUPERB AWARDS

148

The Skoda Superb Hatch and Estate have been named as the best in the class in the 2016 UK Car of the Year Awards. The Superb Hatch triumphed in the Best Family Car category – widely regarded as one of the most competitive sectors of the new car market. Selected as a clear winner by UKCOTY’s 27-strong judging panel, the Superb Hatch was praised for its exceptional comfort and high quality. Tim Pollard, UKCOTY juror said: “Can you think of a family car delivering more space, equipment – and gloss – per pound? I can’t.” The Estate version took the Best Estate Car title. Jury member Paul Hudson praised it for its “combination of space, quality and low running costs.” Since its UK market launch in September 2015, Škoda’s flagship model has won five key industry titles - including What Car? Estate Car of the Year and the Sunday Times Estate Car of the Year. Prices for the Superb Hatch start at £18,640 while the Superb Estate is priced from £19,840.

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, NO EXCUSE!

So I thought this week I’d talk about the excuses I come across as to why people cant make it to bootcamp. And give you some reasons as to why you CAN! I’m too unfit/I need to get fit first Ok. This is one of my personal favourites. This is what we’re here for. Getting people fit is what we do. Yes we have some fit people that come. We got them there. We also have some people that aren’t fit but are on their way. The workouts are adaptable to any level. And personally one of the things I love about this job is seeing the improvement clients have made whether that be doing their first full press-up or beating their personal best on a 10k. I’m not sure about punching and kicking things I’ve never done it before We are a Muay Thai bootcamp so there are times where we do punch and kick things. Things being pads. I know a few of my clients have been a little weary of this side of the bootcamp but have actually ended up completely loving it and even gone on to do our more technical Thai classes in the evening. The Thai boxing in Bootcamp is very basic as it’s used to keep the heart rate high, burn fat and tone up. It’s also only part of the session. We do so many other things sometimes we only do pad work for 10 mins at the end of a session. Just totally depends on the day. You won’t know if you enjoy it or not until you try it. It’s too early I’m not going to deny the morning Bootcamps are early. 6:30am. But let me talk about the benefits

of that. Once you have finished that hour work out you’re done for the day. The rest of the day is your own. No thinking about going to the gym after work. No trying to muster up the energy to get yourself off the sofa in the evening. And it can really set you up for the day too. A lot of clients tell me how it means they got more done and don’t feel anytime was wasted. You feel fresh, energised and ready to attack the day. There are showers based at the YMCA so if you are tight for time we have the use of those. If you really cant make it we also have classes at 9:15 or early and later evening classes (6:30pm and 8:00pm respectively). So there’s some thing to suit everyone. I don’t really like being shouted at There maybe times when I raise my voice. I like to call it motivational! To be fair I don’t need to shout. People come for a reason and to reach goals. I ask people to do things to help them reach these goals. If you don’t want to do it you don’t have to do it. Simple. But if you pay for a class I would say you probably want to get your moneys worth. And what we do seems to work (I would just like to say I can’t speak for Michael as far as shouting goes)! I’m too fat, slow, weak, old... None of these excuses apply. If you want to make a change you need to come. We have clients from 5-65. Of all shapes and sizes and all abilities and levels. They are with us for a number of different reasons

from confidence to fitness to weight loss. I know I say this time and time again, but I’m genuinely honoured to have such an amazing, supportive, lovely group who are all there for each other. I completely understand the barriers of initially starting a new class but once you come to us you’ll see why we can make a difference. We can make you faster, stronger, slimmer maybe not younger but certainly feel it! And all in a supportive environment. I’ve heard you do bootcamp on the beach, I don’t really want to train outside in the winter Well you don’t have to. We do have some outside classes, even running throughout the winter. We meet at Boscombe pier and move around that area. But our morning bootcamps are based at the YMCA in Bournemouth, Westover Road, so nearly all our morning classes are inside. Occasionally we will take the group outside weather permitting but also depending on what the group want as a whole. The outside classes aren’t always on the beach either they can be anywhere in that vicinity. We have so many classes to choose from and based between central Bournemouth outside at Boscombe and our gym in Boscombe. There’s bound to be something to suit everyone. There’s free parking to be found around all areas which is a great added bonus. Basically we have a lot of options and only a few classes outside in the winter so the chances of you going home horridly sandy are slim. YES I have an answer for everything!! Contact us: Charlie 07968855163 info@fitterthanfit.co.uk www.fitterthanfit.co.uk

7 DAYS OF FREE BOOTCAMP FOR EVERYONE! We are giving all HOUSE Magazine readers 7 days of FREE Bootcamp sessions during April. It is held in the YMCA sports hall on Westover Road Bournemouth (opposite the pavilion), 6.30am Monday - Friday, all you need to do is turn up. For more information contact Charlie 07968855163 151

REVIEWED

We wanted to know what all the fuss was about...

THE VENUE SALON ‘Hello – fabulous!’ Sometimes a girl (or guy - no bias here) just needs a little ‘TLC’ and for me, nothing is as satisfying as a couple of hours spent away from work being pampered. I was invited to ‘The Venue’ to see what this fresh new salon had to offer. It’s a tough job, but I remain committed as ever. The salon was buzzing – a hub of activity. I was greeted by three charming ladies, one of whom was ‘Emily’, the salon manager. At just 25 years old Emily has created a beauty empire: jam-packed with only the best treatments and tons of little extras, that takes the standard salon experience to a whole new level. It’s clear that Emily has really thought long and hard about what the customer really wants. From the décor right through to the rice-crispy cakes served with the coffee, she hasn’t missed a single trick. The décor is stunning and straight away you trust that a salon that looks this good, speaks volumes about their attention to detail and ultimately what is on trend when it comes to their treatments. Fear not, there is no frilly lace or pink powder puffs here - everything it is utterly chic! The running theme is ‘neutrals’, with just a hint of royal blue and a glint of sparkle here and there. There are multiple treatment rooms, a nail station and a one of a kind ‘blow-dry bar’ (perfect for those pre-night out pampering sessions). The waiting room is decked out with plush sofas, a phone charging station and an i-pad to flick through whilst you wait. What I love personally is Emily’s story: a young woman, with years spent in the hair and beauty industry, who saw ways salons could be doing

152

things differently. Not letting a lack of faith in her ideas get in the way, she defied the odds and opened a place of her own. Turns out, clients loved her ideas and business has taken off, more than she could have ever imagined. Having already taken on 8 staff, she is beyond thrilled with the success so far. Well, now that we’ve explored our inspirational owner it’s only right that we get down to the good stuff – the treatments! First a massage – specifically, the ‘back, neck and shoulders’: the perfect quick fix for the office aches and pains. 30 minutes spent working out those common knots that occur from staring at a screen for 8 hours a day and then ferociously attacking your beach body goals at the gym, in the evening. I rolled over feel loosened and refreshed. My only complaint was having to get up at all. Shortly after I was treated to a ‘Prescriptive Dermalogica Facial’. Dermalogica products are leading the way in skincare at the moment. It’s scientifically proven, so you know that you can trust it does what is says it is going to do, plus it’s on-trend and the packaging is great – it really is a cosmetic drawer must have. The products used in the salon are tailor made, professional, salon quality and The Venue have products for every single skin type known to man. I wont bore you with my trials and tribulations as a ‘combination’ skin type, but for those who are classed the same, boy do we have a tough job. What is great about the prescriptive facial is rather than use the same products for your entire face, they identify the individual regions and their specific

skincare needs. Emily quickly identified my skin type and began my treatment accordingly. After being cleansed, steamed, exfoliated, masked and moisturized, I emerged feeling brand new: touchable soft skin and noticeably reduced pores. Hello fabulous! Her aftercare was second to none, offering me lots of useful tips that I could take away and incorporate into my usual skincare routine. Their treatments include everything from hair extensions, nails and massage, right through to spray tanning. Some more unique treatments include something called ‘Tonight is the night!’. A spray tan that can be applied just 4 hours before you’re due to hit the town, so no walking around like a sticky mess for 24 hours, like other conventional treatments. Be sure to give their ‘blow dry bar’ a go. Get your nails done, whilst simultaneously achieving bouncy, voluptuous hair. Perfect for girls who are always on the go, or for a little pre-night out treat. a. 272 Wallisdown Road, Bournemouth, BH10 4HZ t. 01202 566000 e. emily@thevenuesalon.co.uk w. www.thevenuesalon.co.uk Parking available at the rear.

HAVE A CLEAR START We are excited to announce the launch of a brand new Facial Treatment at Chic especially targeted for Teens and Young Adults. This new treatment focuses on the problems that teen skins can experience, helping to clear up and eliminate problem areas such as blocked pores and the dreaded spot! “As well as improving the appearance of the skin we hope to be able to educate youngsters on the correct ways to look after their skin, setting the foundations for great skin throughout their adult years” - Sophie, Chic Owner Clear Start™ is the first serious skin care system aimed at helping teens cut through the hype to get clear skin. Developed by the skin health experts at Dermalogica, it uses powerful ingredients and soothing botanicals to deliver real results.

Clear Start™ takes a four-level approach to clearing breakouts through combination therapy, combining the best of nature’s botanicals and the science of breakout-clearing skin care. Through an easyto-follow regimen that incorporate extra clearing products, Clear Start™ helps teens reveal their clearest level of skin and establish good skin care habits that will last a lifetime.

Breakouts are the number one skin concern among teens. While their skin care product choices are ample, products for teens often contain harsh and inexpensive ingredients, artificial fragrances and colours – all things that can irritate and strip oil from skin, causing even more problems!

A misspent youth and a series of grim jobs cultivated his cynical outlook on life and a perverse desire led him to the world of standup. A self-confessed pessimist, he describes himself as “not a natural choice for a career in laughter”. Early in his career Mike was supporting the likes of Jo Brand and Alan Davies and recently supported Lee Mack on his huge UK tour. He now headlines at all the top comedy venues in the UK and is rapidly reaching cult status on the circuit.

Pointing investors in the right direction... The additional 3% stamp duty on second homes and investment properties has now kicked in but certainly doesn’t seem to have stopped investors buying. With a good return on a buy to let property bought with a 25% deposit, what you pay in additional stamp duty will normally equal your first 6-12 months profit. You are going to lose this but it can’t be avoided. If you are looking to buy or sell an investment property, or just need some advice, contact Phil Taylor on 01202 422999.
