RISE IN LISTINGS AND SALES AT HOMER & PARDY The response to Homer & Pardys Fixed Fee Agreement has seen an increase in vendor instructions over the past few weeks. These listings have included owners moving their properties across from other agencies, not only to reduce their costs but in the hope of receiving a better service. Each property listed under the FFA features in this magazine and on RIGHTMOVE, ZOOPLA, PRIMELOCATION and their website until sold. At £999 plus VAT this really is exceptional value for money and a direct alternative to the “online agents” and main stream high street chains. During September 3 properties featured in this magazine are now under offer! The level of service that Homer & Pardy offer their clients is outstanding with each client, whether selling or buying given the very best advice and assistance throughout the process. The sale progression is monitored from viewing and negotiation, offer stage through to completion with regular feedback and updates. Based at Columbia Road, Ensbury Park, the office is centrally located to handle sales and rentals from Poole to Christchurch, Ferndown to Sandbanks.

FIRST TIME BUYER NUMBERS UP… The number of first-time buyer completions across the UK rose by just over seven per cent in the 12 months to the end of August. 28,300 first-time buyers completed in August itself, 7.2 per cent more than in the same month a year earlier. It was the third consecutive month in which first-time buyer completions topped 28,000. Average purchase price for a first-time buyer property was £151,942 in August, some 3.5 per cent higher than twelve months ago. In the same period the average first-time buyer mortgage climbed 5.9 per cent to £124,828 helped by an increase in higher LTV lending. Firsttime buyer average deposits were £27,114 in August, 6.2 per cent lower than in August 2013.

SOLICITOR RUNS OFF WITH £1,000,000 IN STAMP DUTY… A solicitor who stole nearly £1m in tax by falsifying property conveyancing documents and lying to his clients has been sentenced to 10 years jail after an investigation by HMRC. Shameer Sacranie, 40, from Leicester, fled the country after his arrest in December 2011. HMRC’s investigations revealed that he had altered legal documents to reduce the amount of stamp duty due on 139 properties bought by his clients. Sacranie then charged his clients for stamp duty in excess of the fraudulently reduced amounts and pocketed the difference. Stuart Taylor, assistant director in the criminal investigation division of the HMRC, says Sacranie knew only too well what the consequences of his actions would be. “To abuse the trust of his clients was a despicable act, stealing money that had been paid by them in good faith to meet their tax liabilities. [The] sentence should serve as a reminder to those who hold positions of trust that the justice system takes a firm line on those who fall foul of the law.” Sacranie had been due to appear at Nottingham Crown Court but absconded and was sentenced in his absence. A bench warrant has been issued for his arrest.

AGENT LIVES RENT FREE IN LANDLORDS PROPERTY An absentee landlord has claimed that she was conned out of £7,000 when her letting agent moved his own wife and family into her property. Little did she know that agent Stuart Clark had been seen by neighbours moving his wife, children and pets into the home in Epping. Despite contacting Essex Police, Ms Salajan was told the case did not warrant a criminal investigation, and the best course would instead be civil action, a route she has been advised by friends not to take. Ms Salajan’s story was broadcast in ‘Rip Off Britain’ on BBC One and is available to view on BBC iPlayer.

HEARING IS BELIEVING Usually you have to see something to believe it. However, in this case there is nothing to see and you really do have to hear it for yourself to believe that such a perfect sound can come from a source that you cannot even see. Maison Creations design and build beautiful

bespoke furniture for every room in the home. Recently, they were faced with a challenging brief from discerning London clients who wanted a state of the art media system but didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to see speakers, grilles or any other media equipment spoiling their perfect, stylishly designed living space.

Not only was it that particular commission but the designers at Maison Creations were finding from local enquiries that the increase in minimalist interiors had creating an underlying demand for audio sound systems to be concealed. For those design-conscious customers there has definitely been an increasing requirement for not only screens but also loudspeakers to be not only discreet, but concealed, so that design aesthetics are not impacted.

Faced with the increasingly popular trend for all media equipment to be concealed, Simon from Maison Creations and Kevin Dawson of Dawsons of Westbourne, combined their considerable expertise to design and build the perfect solution. The end result is nothing short of amazing! Incredible surround sound from invisible speaker technology that has been installed into the very walls of the room and the doors of the bespoke cabinets. The final ingredient to this incredible system was the electronically operated panel which conceals the television when not in use. At the push of a button on the iPad the panel rises to reveal a 55” television which otherwise would have dominated the room. Adding all these elements together has made for a system that looks and sounds amazing when switched on but when not required, disappears into the very walls.

With speakers totally invisible to the eye, “not” seeing is “not” believing. Only when you put your ear to the walls and cabinet doors do you realise that the speakers are actually present but totally concealed. Once you have experienced the surround sound system employed by the audio experts at Dawsons nothing else will do. Combine this with the bespoke furniture crafted by Maison Creations and it is hard to accept any other cluttered option.

Our brief was simple “we don’t want to see speakers or a large TV in our room”. Dawsons having being one of the early adopters of Amina Invisible Speakers, installed a complete 5.1 Digital Sound Surround sound system, which you simply do not see! Any screen size can be accommodated but in this case a 55” Sony has been hidden in furniture operated by a Future Automation Screen Lift All the ugly black boxes, Processor, Blu Ray Player and the Digitial TV hard drive have been concealed. An iPad Mini has been programmed with a simple app to control all the equipment at a push of a button. Gone are all the complicated remote controls which invariably turn your coffee table into the flight deck of a space shuttle. It really has to be heard to be believed! Kevin Dawson

James Tiller MARLA Lettings Manager & Client Accounts

Ellie Mattison Senior Lettings Specialist

Expert local knowledge from the YOUhome Bournemouth lettings team are the Q. What best buy to let bargains in

Bournemouth?

James: Bournemouth is a thriving market for young professional couples with some unable to afford deposits to buy. We believe this demographic will underpin demand for some time to come. Good quality one or two bed properties in areas with easy access to the town centre such as Meyrick Park, Charminster, Westbourne and Boscombe are particularly attractive. Ellie: We see an ever increasing demand for housing in Bournemouth and Poole both to rent and to buy. Charlotte: There is also a strong student presence in Bournemouth, with two universities and a

host of language colleges. Accommodation for students is changing and moving away from the traditional large houses, many students now prefer to be in smaller properties. With a large market students will be looking for the best accommodation possible and within their affordability.

often should Q. How my property be inspected? Roxanne: As part of our fully managed service we carry out quarterly inspections at our properties. This timeframe offers a good balance so as not to disturb your tenants quiet enjoyment but also to ensure there arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t any maintenance issues that might go unnoticed. It also helps maintain a good dialogue with your tenant so they feel happy and comfortable at your property.

Charlotte Hayward Lettings Specialist

can I Q. How achieve the best possible rent? Ellie: Focus on what makes your property stand out, good decor and high quality photos will certainly help. Ensure your property is presentable, tenants make swift decisions. First impressions really count and you only get one chance to make one. Charlotte: When tenants are able to pick and choose, the most successful properties that are being let are those offered newly or very recently refurbished. Roxanne: When rents achieved have dropped or remained static it is all too easy to justify holding off on improvements and maintenance with a mind to upgrading a property once market conditions have improved. This however is a self-defeating cycle. When tenant expectations are high, it is vital to ensure the general condition of a property is kept up together. James: The two most important areas to tenants are the kitchen and bathroom(s), where possible try to maintain these areas to a

good standard as this will give you a competitive edge.

can I reduce Q. How void periods? James: The best way is to be knowledgeable about the local rental market, allowing you competitively to price your property according to market conditions. Choosing the right agent is paramount, choose someone who is local to the area and experienced with renting your type of property. Timing is also very important; if a tenant does not want to renew their tenancy, we start advertising the property at least two months before the agreement ends to ensure we avoid void periods. Ellie: Finally be realistic, overpricing can lead to longer void periods. If a tenant is trying to negotiate our recommended approach is be firm but fair, think of the bigger picture.

HOME IMPROVEMENTS

PARTY TIME FOR MC PLAN & SITE SERVICES MC Plan & Site Services is delighted to celebrate its first birthday. The company was formed in September 2013 by Mark Cook, who has over 25 years of construction industry experience. Over 15 years of that experience is specifically within the Building Control environment. Having worked previously for both, the NHBC and Local Authority Building Control, Mark’s knowledge base and experience is extensive and varied across both the public and private sectors and incorporates refurbishments of existing office buildings and homes, to much larger entertainment venues and commercial premises. Since its inception MC Plan and Site Services has seen an unprecedented influx of instructions; so many in fact, that they have already employed several more staff. To ensure the client receives the best possible service, MC Plan & Site Services has taken on a new office manager and an apprentice, in addition to two more surveyors - with another about to join the team imminently. Mark’s professional reputation precedes him and MC Plan & Site Services Ltd aims to provide a personalised and professional building control service to all

clients, regardless of size and value. Looking forwards, Mark said, “I am looking forward to the year ahead to see what more opportunities abound. The past year has been very exciting with loads happening; from employing some great staff to our new warranty partnership with CRL to offer insurance to protect our clients from structural defects. We have some great future plans up our sleeves! He added, “We are looking forward to moving into our new offices in the very near future so watch this space!” MC Plan & Site Services act as

a ‘one stop shop’ encompassing all building control services under one roof in an efficient and cost effective manner. They work closely with all parties involved throughout the process including the application submission, planning assessments, site inspections and completion of works and have very quickly become a leading firm of Independent Building Inspectors in the South. The company is licensed and regulated by the Construction Industry Council to carry out building control throughout England and Wales.

Visit our website for more information on MC Plan & Site Services and a full list of their services.

The main centre called ‘Rock Reef’ based inside the old theatre on the pier opened its doors on 24 may this year, it features a clip and climb attraction with 25 fun themed climbing walls including a vertical drop slide, they also boast a 65 metre indoor cave designed for both experienced cavers and and learners alike.

The ride costs £26 for two, and is an experience well worth adding to the bucket list! Openwide International Ltd who run the the attraction have

With the new zip wire set to be one of Bournemouth’s main attractions we recommend you zip on down to the pier and see what all the fuss is about!

DIY EXPERT

WALL TO WALL ADVICE

Get those jobs done with a little help from ‘Big Al; our resident DIY expert.

THIS WEEK: MAKING THE FRONT OF YOUR WALLS Wallpaper as a concept may have come back into fashion - but that doesn’t mean every design of it is. So if your home is a nightmare of swirly, flowery or textured wallpaper (unless that’s your taste, of course), what can you do about it? Painting over the wallpaper is the easiest option, and using a basecoat emulsion - Crown Paints does a good one - will make it easier still. Basecoats are designed to cover patterns and strong colours in fewer coats than it would take with standard emulsion, saving you time and effort. The problem with painting over wallpaper, especially if it’s been up for years, is that it will eventually start to come away from the wall, often at the seams. If it has already begun to do this, you can remove the affected sections of wallpaper with a craft knife and cover the missing bits with filler - although this isn’t a great long-term solution.

You can also simply paint textured wallpaper, but this only works if you like the texture. Textured wallpaper was often used in the past to cover up less-than-perfect walls, so if you do decide to get rid of it, be prepared to do some replastering (especially as plaster can come away with the wallpaper when you strip it off). If you can’t face the cost and mess of replastering, filler (or, in the worst cases, plaster repair and skim products) can work wonders, but this filling and then sanding can be very time-consuming and will only go so far. Some walls are beyond repair, unless you line or replaster them, and even then you often have to fill and sand, especially if the plasterer before you has been a bit sloppy. Newly plastered walls and ceilings can develop hairline cracks, especially over lath and plaster or if the plaster is ‘force’ dried with heat, in

which case lining paper or wallpaper will hold in the cracks. Alternatively, Polycell Flexible Gap Polyfilla (£2.89, amazon.co.uk) is the best filler I’ve found to keep hairlines cracks looking at their best. If you opt for lining paper, paste-the-wall ones are the easiest to use, as you simply apply wallpaper paste to the wall with a brush or roller and then hang the paper. You don’t have to wait for the paste to soak into the paper and you don’t have to grapple with soggy lengths of paper. While replastering gives a better finish, thick lining paper can be used to improve the appearance of lumpy walls - that said, the lumps and bumps will still be noticeable if light falls across them (lamps are one of the worst offenders).

be held in place with lining paper, as long as you don’t put any weight, such as tiles, shelves, or coat hooks, on it.

Blown plaster (plaster that’s spongy and moves slightly when pressed on) can also

PRODUCT OF THE WEEK TOPPS TILES WAREHOUSE STORES Think Topps Tiles don’t do ‘posh’ tiles? Well its brick-shaped crackle-glaze Chic Craquele tiles (44p each or £39.11 per metre squared) are very similar to an iconic range by a more glamorous rival, but are almost half the price. These tiles are a design classic, sure to make any bathroom or kitchen look amazing. For a pop of colour, Shibori Blue and Shibori Green (91p per tile or £80.89 per metre squared) have a rustic, handmade look, and for retro style with a modern twist, dramatic Diamante Teal tiles (£1.27 each or £42.33 per metre squared) would make a fantastic feature wall.

to enhance uneven walls is to use a chalky or flat-matt emulsion. Paint with any kind of sheen, such as silk emulsion, will emphasise the flaws, so avoid it at all costs.

HOW-TO TIP TILING A SPLASHBACK ABOVE YOUR COOKER OR HOB CAN MAKE A LOVELY FEATURE BUT CHOOSE A DARK TILE GROUT TO ENSURE IT STAYS LOOKING GOOD - PALE GROUTS ARE EASILY STAINED BY THE UNAVOIDABLE MESS OF COOKING.

Bank on MSP Capital for fast, flexible funding solutions Adam Tovey

Martin Higgins

David Capra

Paul Miracca

Finance that understands business When so many banks are saying ‘no’, MSP Capital strives to say ‘yes’. Founded in 1981, the last thirty years has seen the company develop into one of the largest providers of property finance in southern England, specialising in residential development funding in the southern counties and London. Based in Ashley Cross, Poole MSP offers asset-based, secured, short-term finance and bespoke lending solutions for sums from £30,000 to £10 million. These financial solutions cater to businesses and individuals alike to help them grow, expand, acquire a business or property, or simply to restructure. MSP Capital works closely with clients to explore the options available and use their creative thinking and experience to create the best lending package to suit each client’s particular requirements.

Run and operated by Martin Higgins, David Capra, Paul Miracca and Adam Tovey, the team has a wealth of expertise. Martin has transformed the company from a family business to its position today and has a wealth of financial knowledge across varying markets including extensive experience of debt restructuring. David is a qualified Chartered Accountant and has worked across multiple sectors, but specialises in business turnaround and recovery. He is an expert in helping companies organise their finances and structure to optimal effect. Paul has twenty years’ experience in the development and construction industry and this enables him to fully understand and interpret complicated development projects from construction to sale. Paul’s in-depth knowledge of the industry is invaluable to clients

needing to maximise the yield from each construction project. Adam is a qualified Chartered Surveyor. Previously, he worked for a large property agency where he built an excellent reputation undertaking numerous valuations for all the major UK banks in addition to large public bodies. Adam is responsible for all valuations prior to lending and helps MSP Capital in assessing credit risk. The reason for their success is simple the team at MSP Capital is able to make quick decisions and take a proactive view on each application. Indicative views are possible within 24 hours of being approached and the process is flexible and easy from start to finish. Clients have direct access to the decision makers within the business, providing a refreshingly uncomplicated experience and an established level of customer satisfaction.

So what does the future hold for MSP Capital?

We won’t just say yes, we’ll lend you more

With the housing market experiencing significant growth, MSP Capital expects to see more and more clients capitalising on this buoyant sector. They also recognise that the lending landscape is changing with development funding being primarily offered through bespoke, flexible funding sources like MSP Capital as opposed to the High Street. This market optimism indicates that 2014 / 2015 will be another year of exceptional growth for the business.

ASK THE EXPERT Tony Peters Planit Mortgages Your local mortgage adviser Have you done your Will yet? An astonishing 6 out of 10 property owners do not have a Will in place yet in most cases it is simple to do. Many people at first feel uncomfortable about talking of their passing but after doing their Will they have found a sense of relief and well being, knowing that their loved ones are going to benefit from their estate as they wish. Many couples today are not married out of choice and this lifestyle does not offer as much protection from the state. The concept of “Common-law marriage” is a myth and partners who have lived together for 30 years have less rights than a couple married for just 1 month! If you are not married and have children, then it is the children who will inherit and not your partner. I have known grown up children to kick their parent’s partner out as soon as the funeral is over despite what was thought to be a healthy relationship between the partner and children. To die intestate (without a Will) can cause all sorts of problems like the one above as well as cost your loved ones a lot of money. Writing your Will can be a very simple procedure and can be done with as little as two visits or phone calls. All you really need to know is who you wish to leave your estate to and who will look after your minor children if both parents were to pass away. If you have a larger or more complex estate, then setting up trusts and Lasting Powers of Attorney would give greater protection for everyone. Everything else including funeral wishes or charity donations can be discussed with your adviser and put in as special instructions. Our in-house Will writing service can provide you with a professionally written Will to protect your family after you die. With a pair of Wills costing only £195.00, you can ensure your family’s security for less than the cost of a HD TV. We are not solicitors nor are we qualified to offer legal advice but we work with a solicitor of 40 year’s experience in Wills and probate

Professional Inventories will save you money Landlords in the UK are losing a staggering amount of money through deposit disputes because of inadequate property inventories. According to the figures published by mydeposits. co.uk only 8% of disputes get awarded in full to the landlord. It is easy to understand why. As mydeposits.co.uk points out: “The law starts with the principle that the money is the tenant’s. It’s up to the landlord to justify withholding all or part of a deposit.” Should a dispute between landlord and tenant arise at the end of the tenancy, this will have to be evaluated by one of the Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) services from one of the authorised Deposit Protection Services. At that point landlords realise, to their surprise, that the level of evidence required by the adjudicator far exceeds the evidence provided by an old-fashioned inventory. Even when pictures are provided, the chances of covering every single area of a property with photographs are very low. In the past landlords and letting agents could rely on basic property inventories as the tenant was always in a weaker position. Sometimes these inventories could be just 3 or 4 pages with few pictures at the back. Nowadays the tenancy deposit rules have completely changed the playing field. Increasingly, landlords and letting agents are turning to professionally produced property video inventories. To be effective video inventories need to be filmed professionally, ensuring that all areas are covered in a systematic manner by a properly trained and qualified independent video inventory clerk. A good video inventory will be as far from a home video as one can imagine. Video inventories can also prevent issues arising in the first place and should these occur, it will provide the strong evidence required to prove the landlord’s case and to ensure that the property is returned in a condition which is consistent with its state at the beginning of the tenancy.

Home staging is a proven method of selling faster AND for more money. Staging to sell means appealing to the most people in your target market, to speed up the sale and achieve the best price. As soon as your house is on the market it’s being judged and compared, and you need to give it the best possible chance. Staging your home will set it apart in the crowded market where you might also be competing against new build show homes. Our homes reflect our own taste and lifestyle but to sell it needs to be a blank canvas that makes buyers want to move in. Few buyers have the imagination to see past dated décor, clutter or walls of family photos – but we can make it easy for them! “Your house is your biggest asset and it makes sense to invest a little time and money before you market it. You could be throwing away tens of thousands of pounds or wasting months on the market unnecessarily”. But won’t it cost a fortune to stage it? We aim to spend minimal time and money for maximum results. The rule of thumb is to spend approximately 1% of the property’s value on staging. Compare that 1% to accepting a lower offer of say 10-15% of the asking price, and you can see that a little effort and investment up front makes a lot of sense.

BEFORE The spare room was being used for ironing and storage and didn’t show how the space could be used as a bedroom

AFTER Serious de-cluttering, room layout chnages and the addition of a rug and some cushions and throws, the room looks more spacious, relaxing and inviting

It’s very difficult to see our own home through the eyes of potential buyers. A professional will assess your home objectively and with in-depth knowledge of the target buyer enhance your home to speed up that sale and get the best possible price. We also strongly advise on having professional photos taken and we work with a local interiors photographer to make your home a showstopper! Whether you are just thinking of selling, or have been on the market for a while, we can help! We offer a variety of packages ranging from 3 hour ‘Speed Staging’ if you’re already on the market, or just need some minor tweaks to full-scale redecoration and furnishing solutions for empty homes or those in need of updating.

Iseo C4500 White RRP from £106.80

WHITE IS THE NEW BLACK. By Adam Willcox of Todd Doors In the world of fashion everyone’s always looking for the next big thing. The next trend that can be classed “... is the new black”. I find with internal door designs it’s the same, but instead of looking for a door that will look great for a year, we look for something that will stand the test of time and still look great for many years to come. So for me this year - white is definitely the new black. The new wave of white doors first came to my attention with the launch of Todd Doors Iseo C4500 White Doors a few years ago – I’d always loved the detail of the Iseo Oak which is easily the most popular interior door of the last ten years - so when the white version was first introduced it was fantastic to see a new twist on a classic. The new white door was an instant hit and it was great to see both DIY enthusiasts and large-scale developers

recognising how this stylishly simple door would be a great asset to any property. One of the many advantages of this door is its versatility. White doors are perfect in almost any setting and will always look great no matter how many times a property is redecorated or redesigned around them. Because of the success of the Iseo White, Todd Doors have expanded the entire range and now have an industry leading collection. The natural progression from the solid door was the introduction of a glazed version. The Iseo C4514 White 4-Light is a clever addition to the range as it allows light to travel through a property. I’ve seen these doors transform properties filled with dark hallways into really beautiful, light, bright places to live. The white finish seems to increase the amount of light in the property and create a feeling of exponentially increased space. The simple elegance of the

white doors has allowed the range to grow and the new doors on the block are taking style to the next level. The Salo C7000 White uses a combination of alternating smaller and larger panels to give any room a feeling of additional height. The Orta C8500 White is an effortlessly simple design which uses nothing more than horizontal detailing to create a door that looks great in any setting. The white door revolution is a trend I don’t see slowing down anytime soon. It seems these doors are transcending the traditional rules of fashion with their simplicity. The demand for white doors is so prevalent that it has also spread into the traditional range of doors on offer – but I’ll get on to them another time. In the meantime you might want to consider your own white doors – one of the easiest ways to bring space, light and style to any property – and that’s something that’s always on trend.

LED MYTHS

Whether your project is large or small we are happy to help, so why not give us a call on 01202 960049.

UK ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF LED REPLACEMENT

LED MYTHS MYTH 2 LEDs lighting won’t have an impact in my lifetime. LED lighting is already showing a huge reduction in energy consumption with the shift away from traditional types of lighting such as incandescent, halogen and the older “energy efficient” CFL bulbs. This is benefitting all of us either at home or in business as well as the environment, by lowering energy demands from our power stations. Government estimates, published by DECC, estimate that if 80% of the UK moved to LED lighting there would be net annual reduction in our energy bills of £5.2Bn, equating to 12% of the UK total current energy demand. Did you know that if each UK household replaced their two most used light bulbs with an LED equivalent, it would have the same impact as removing more than 175,000 cars off the road or planting over 440 million trees. With lighting accounting for roughly 18% of the world’s total energy consumption – imagine what a difference such a simple act could have on a global scale? Whilst the energy savings translate into more disposable income in our pockets, the benefit of LED lighting goes beyond economic effects. The quality of LED light is now often better than the old lighting we have become used to plus it is also far more controllable, is “instant on” and no longer easily broken. The ultimate benefit is that a good quality LED can be expected to last for 50,000 hours (7 years) or more. Lighting is also very influential in how we feel, with bluer light helping to wake us up and warmer, red tones helping us feel tired. LED lighting can even cater for these in one light bulb, with people being able to simply change the colour using remote controls or even smartphones!

WHAT TO DO IN...

YOUR GARDEN THIS AUTUMN Autumn is the time to get down to work in your garden. At Reformed Plastics we offer everything from fencing to furniture to help transform your garden. At Reformed Plastics all of our products are made from 100% recycled plastic. We manufacture products ourselves and then sell direct to the Domestic and Commercial sector. Due to ever increasing importance to recycle & protect the environment, our products are made from 100% recycled plastic, and is the perfect alternative to wood. Our aims are to help rebuild the environment by utilizing a commodity, which people would otherwise just throw away, and so turn what to some would be rubbish into a valuable product for everybody.

138

Our plastic has many practical & very useful properties & has an

infinite range of different uses, some of which being are as decking, fencing, outdoor furniture, planters, boardwalks, landscaping, bollards, signage & construction etc. The list of possibilities is endless and the longterm advantages it has over traditional materials are staggering! It’s a great investment, as it never needs to be replaced due to its high strength and durability, therefore it quickly pays for itself in the long run. In short, it’s worry free! The concept of Reformed Plastics was born over 15 years ago from the curiosity of its founder. Being an engineer by profession, and having had his own UPVC Windows business, and also being the practical and inquisitive person that he is, one day he decided to find out what was really happening to the waste that people were so freely throwing away.

His research and interest lead him to focus on plastics, how it can be recycled and what it could be reused for. He discovered that the USA & a few European countries had been recycling and re-manufacturing waste plastics into alternative timber products for many years, instead of throwing it all into landfill! Over time, slowly but surely he developed a few basic products in the form of planks and posts and very soon he began to receive interest from people wanting to know more about this revolutionary product that is both an environmentally friendly alternative to normal timber and sustainable which means it will save them a lot of money in the long term! From then on, many products have been developed and the rest as they say is history.

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 • Non-slip decking

£0 WHAT CAN THE PLASTIC BE USED FOR ? The manufactured plastic has many practical and very useful properties. The main base of our products are in the form of planks and posts which can be used on their own for garden fences, both low for front gardens and high for side and back fences for instance, along road sides and around fields and paddocks just to name a few. It is also possible to produce a number of other products out of our plastic, such as picnic tables. These would vary in size, suitable for adults and children. Park benches, outdoor tables, square or rectangular plant boxes, decking and seating... the list is endless.

THREE FAQ’S 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 or squeegee when required.

FINANCIAL BENEFITS Achieving value for money is a key driver for any purchasing decision. Although some recycled products have greater up-front cost, their longevity and durability make them a more costeffective option over the long term.

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 range of primary colours!

ROAD TEST: MERCEDES A CLASS

The new generation Mercedes A-Class is an all-new model, so radically different from the previous model that you cannot even begin to compare the two. The latest version has an elegant look and though the smallest in the Mercedes stable, still exudes premium-sector class. With AMG involved from the beginning, the styling is simply breathtaking, with long, low, wide proportions and dramatic lines and surfaces. My recent test model was the 2.2 litre AMG Sport. From the outset, AMG were involved in the design process and their influence is apparent in every tautly drawn surface. The AMG Sport model even features their signature bodystyling, bringing added muscle and aggression to the car’s sleek, agile looks. The car – which is much lower than the old A-Class – looks terrific from the outside and gives that hewn-from-solidrock appearance which suggests the car will still be looking good and performing well 10 or 15 years down the line. Inside, the durable impression continues, fitted as standard, the Audio 20 CD/ radio has a large 5.8” colour display, telephone keypad, Bluetooth, plus aux-in socket and USB port to access content from MP3 players and storage devices. It also includes pre-wiring for the Becker® Map Pilot navigation system.

The cabin is roomy and comfortable with excellent occupant space front and rear and a big boot, 341 litres which boosts to 1,157 with the seats folded. It scores highly for practicality. Performance is very good, with smooth power delivery, slick auto gearshift and reassuring handling characteristics. Engine noise from the 136 hp 1.8 litre diesel was louder than expected for a Mercedes but that is one of the few criticisms of a car which generally pleases and impresses. The A-Class is packed with state-ofthe art safety systems and electronic assistants, like our Collision Prevention Assist (CPA), a radar-based collision warning system, that activates the static distance warning and the Adaptive Brake Assist from 4 mph.

NEED TO KNOW STYLE

There is also up to nine airbags inside the cabin offering maximum protection for you and your passengers onboard. No doubt about it, the new Mercedes A-Class makes a strong statement and offers a more affordable and much more stylish entry point to gain Mercedes-Benz cachet.

SECRET AGENT ‘Estate agent language’ In the first of what we hope to become a regular column (legal costs notwithstanding!), our ‘secret agent’ and your local ‘Phil Spencer’ gives you an insight into the world of real estate, the people who work in the industry, the people who buy, sell and rent property. In this first instalment our man (or woman) on the front line looks at some entertaining property descriptions. Some estate agents have invented a completely new type of language that’s designed to confuse and confound ordinary people into submission. Their descriptive prose is so expertly engineered that anything they say can be interpreted in almost anyway they want. The only way to win is to understand just what they mean. As an example, if they tell you that a house is “open and airy” they really mean that the last owner was evicted and removed everything up to and including the kitchen sink.

Listed below are a few common examples of estate agent speak: • Period property. (Still has bomb damage from the Second World War) • Well established garden. (Not touched since the Second World War)

THE PERFECT WEDDING SUPPER

wallpaper and plastic ceiling tiles) • Patio area. (Tiny garden) • Close to all amenities. (Next to an off licence and chip shop with a bus stop outside your front door) • Views over open countryside. (Next to landfill site)

Whether your reception party is outside in the garden or held inside, Out the Park give you the piece of mind knowing you are giving your guests something special.

• Sought after location. (They’ve employed more than one estate agent and we need the money) • Various outbuildings. (Outside toilet) • Ideal for children. (Noisy neighbours) • Secure off road parking. (Next to gipsy site)

If you have any questions about the service we offer, then please give us a call or send us an email. Why not organise a free taste testing.

• Reduced price for quick sale. (All of the above)

So there you have it. A quick guide to estate agents speak. I hope you found it useful!

HOME IMPROVEMENTS

Specialists in all aspects of LED Lighting

THE FUTURE OF LED LIGHTING THE FUTUREâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S BRIGHT There are a variety of reasons why we should all be using LED lighting as an alternative to the standard lighting used in our homes, offices, hotels, retail, clubs & decorative environments. Look around and you will quickly find that the inefficient, high maintenance light sources, including filament, Fluorescent, Halogen and Neon are still used in abundance. You can change this now and begin making serious energy cost savings by using LED-ZIP Lighting systems. With these new ecoâ&#x20AC;?friendly lights you will also be improving the light quality in retail, offices or at points of sale.
