MERIDIAN WELCOME NEW LETTINGS NEGOTIATOR Meridian Estate Agents are very pleased to welcome new Lettings Negotiator Nikita Horton into their team at the Parkstone Branch. Nikita has been with the company for 2 months and has grown strength by strength - already breaking the company record for achieving the most booked lets in her first month! From a customer service based background Nikita is dedicated in looking after both tenants and the Landlord and ensuring that help and advice is always at hand whenever needed. “Recognising that tenants need looking after as well as the landlord and the property itself is vital in succeeding within this industry. A good relationship must be maintained through communication and confidence in knowing you and your property will be looked after is built up through excellent service, results and happy clients! This is very important, especially given the current market where everything is very fast paced- personally I’ve found that properties are being let

before even going online!” Will Maxted branch manager adds “We could not be happier with Nikita’s performance in her first two months, her dedication and overall enthusiasm towards the role is admirable, we expect great things from her moving into these busy summer months. Watch this space!” This is an exciting time for the company as the market is steadily improving and Meridian have already got off to a very busy summer and cannot take on enough properties at present to supply the demand! We are urging for anyone looking to invest in a buy to let property or current landlords looking to discuss our services or review their current rent to please contact the Parkstone office on 01202 742020 or alternatively email nikita@meridianestateagents. com.

Buy-to-let (BTL) investors expect income from their rental properties to bolster their annual retirement income by nearly £20,000 (£19,785), according to Platinum Property Partners (PPP), the specialist buy-to-let business. Research from PPP among 500 BTL investors showed that on average they believe the income from their property investments will make up more than half (56%) of their overall annual retirement income. This is expected to be £35,600, with £19,785 coming from BTL and £15,815 from other streams including pensions and other investments. The average annual retirement income across the UK from all investments is £19,300 according to the ONS. This means that BTL investors expect to enjoy annual retirement income that is nearly double the national average. According to the research, securing retirement income was the main priority for more than half of BTL investors (50.4%). And the intention of investors who are rapidly approaching retirement is to increase the income they receive from BTL property before they give up work. The average annual income from the BTL investments of landlords aged 40 to 55+ currently stands at £17,500. This means they intend to increase their income by 13% before they retire in order to achieve an annual income of £19,785 from BTL. On average, BTL investors plan on retiring at the age of 60. Tony Bennett, managing director of Platinum Property Partners, said: “Anyone approaching retirement will be looking to maximise the income they are set to receive from all of their investments and buy-to-let investors are no different. But increasing income from buy-to-let property is not as straightforward as waiting until you reach retirement age and simply snapping up more properties. Planning your investments well in advance is the best approach to ensure you secure a reliable income. This has been put into even sharper focus following the recent government announcement of changes to pensions and annuities and the interest this has piqued among investors.” PPP is a successful property investment business that enables both novice and seasoned property investors to build a sustainable, profitable and life changing portfolio. The company has developed a tried and tested system that maximises rental income from specialist buy-to-let shared housing for young professionals.

Quay Holidays are delighted to announce that they have achieved a Gold Award in the Green Tourism Business Scheme. Since joining the scheme six years ago, Quay have steadily worked their way up from an initial Bronze award, to Silver two years ago and now Gold. Quay continues to work hard to ensure all aspects of the business are run in the most efficient way and to encourage their property owners to adopt green practices wherever possible – many of which save money too! Quay’s holiday guest welcome packs now include local Dorset products wherever possible, cutting the carbon footprint of suppliers and couriers. Business Partner, Helen Challis commented “We’ve consistently reviewed and updated our practices over the years so we are delighted to finally achieve the Gold standard this year. We’re not resting on our green laurels though – we already have fresh ideas to further enhance our green credentials!” Gill Thomson, the Sustainable Tourism Assessor comments “Quay Holidays have implemented a number of excellent sustainable practices in the last

few years, both within the office environment and via the communications sent to guests and property owners. Helen works closely with local community groups, spreading a sustainable message to a wider audience. All in all Quay Holidays truly deserve the Gold award from Green Tourism and can present this award to all, proud in the knowledge that their hard work and commitment to reducing energy usage and screening suppliers for sustainable and environmentally friendly products is helping to reduce the carbon footprint of the business overall. “ Quay are pleased to discuss how their green ethics can be transferred into letting your holiday property – give them a call on 01202 683333 or visit www.quayholidays.co.uk

NEWSTEAD EXHIBITING AT DORSET LANDLORD INVESTMENT SHOW I’m pleased to tell you that on Tuesday 8th July between 10:00am and 5:15pm Newstead Estate & Letting Agents will be exhibiting at the 2014 Dorset Landlord Investment Show, held at The Pavillion Theatre, Westover Road, BH1 2BU.

If you’re already familiar with HMO or if you’re just considering getting started, then please come along and have a chat with me. We’ll be looking at the fundamentals involved with setting up a successful HMO as well as some advanced strategies for those of you who are serious about really increasing your cash

flow. It would be great to see you there, however, if you can’t make it I’m always happy for you to contact me and discuss any aspect of your HMO. Carl Mirauer, Director Newstead Estate & Letting Agents 01202 430108

NEW MORTGAGE REGULATIONS FAIL TO DAMPEN CONNELLS’ MORTGAGE ACTIVITY Two months after the Mortgage Market Review (MMR) came into force, local estate agency Connells is pleased to report it is helping an increasing number of customers with their mortgage arrangements when purchasing a property. Indeed, as part of its national network of branches, Connells recorded a 5% increase in mortgage applications in May 2014 compared to the previous month. This comes despite the popular view that MMR would dampen the market and home buyers would face long queues to get an appointment with a mortgage consultant. “We want prospective home buyers to know that we have mortgage appointments available right away so you can beat the queues,” says Connells’ Mortgage Services Consultant Danielle Fudge. “Not only this but we offer a broad selection of mortgage products from a panel of leading lenders so sitting down with a Connells mortgage consultant can be a more efficient use of time than say, approaching individual lenders directly.” Encouragingly, Connells figures in May also show a 6.3% increase in the number of first-time buyer mortgage applications as increasing numbers looked to take their first step onto the property ladder. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the number of remortgages has also seen a hike in May, with Connells Mortgage Services Consultants recording an increase of almost one fifth (17.3%) from home owners wanting to secure good interest rates before the inevitable base rate rise. “We are urging anyone who wants to review their mortgage options to come in for a discussion,” Danielle continues. “As the likelihood of a base rate rise increases week by week, we are seeing many homeowners looking to get onto a more favourable product before the market changes. I would urge anyone in this situation to come in for a chat.” If you have a property to sell and would like to book a free market appraisal with Connells, or if you are looking for mortgage advice, please contact the local branch on (01425) 472311 or email: Ringwood@connells.co.uk

HOME IMPROVEMENTS

DESIGNING YOUR DREAM BATHROOM Victoria Lombard from Ripples Bournemouth gives us an expert guide to the key trends in bathroom design.

SELECTING THE SHOWER Showering has become much more of an invigorating experience in recent years with fixed overhead, drench or rain showers providing a variety of spray patterns for powerful or softer flow. If you have the space, a fully tiled walk-in wet room is one of the most popular options but if space is limited then look to an over-bath shower or separate shower enclosure with either bi-fold, corner entry or single-panel screen.

MAKING THE MOST OF YOUR MIRROR High-tech mirrors and mirror cabinets come with built-in demisters to prevent steaming while others have sensor activated LED lighting and are Bluetooth enabled so you can hook up your iPod and listen to your favourite tunes as you get ready in the morning.

A frameless design will create an ultra modern finish. For the shower itself, make sure it has thermostatic control to prevent scalding and consider whether you want a separate handshower. Digital showers are the latest trend, with remote control operation, pause functions and timer settings.

Other options include having a tall mirror fronted cupboard with shelving within or a rotating stand with a mirror on one side and storage on the other.

Many manufacturers now offer water-saving solutions with aerated flow or eco settings while others have ‘rub clean’ nozzles to prevent the build-up of limescale.

MAKING SANITARYWARE STAND OUT. Consider whether you want a wall-hung or back-to-wall WC and a wall-hung or pedestal basin. Wall-hung sanitaryware has the advantage of adding the illusion of space to a small room as well as making the floor area easier to clean. You may prefer to have the basin and WC built in, in which case the furniture will conceal unsightly pipework. When it comes to basins, bigger is better with double designs and matching ‘his’ and ‘hers’ styles creating a touch of hotel chic.

Another trend is for countertop basins that sit proudly on a vanity unit or worktop – take your pick from sleek conical shapes, stone or glass designs and more rectangular styles. If you do go for a countertop, make sure your tap has a long enough projection to reach over it.

WCs have also come a long way in design terms, as you can now buy models with built-in LED lighting and integrated odour extraction.

When it comes to basins, bigger is better with double designs and matching ‘his’ and ‘hers’ styles creating a touch of hotel chic

REVIEWED ROCKLEY PARK We arrived on site to be overwhelmed with the beauty of this hidden gem in the Heart of Poole. Rockley Park is situated right on the shoreline and has its own private beach and marina. It’s the perfect spot for boat lovers if you are lucky enough to own one, this would be the ideal location for moorings. Had we had more time I know we would have loved to try out the sailing school, also on site. We firstly went in to the reception area and were welcomed by a friendly member of staff who gave us our keys, passes, map and information booklet. We were given directions to our caravan and we made our way there winding through the picturesque park.

We were very pleasantly surprised to find what I would describe more of a holiday lodge as opposed to what you would think of when thinking of caravans! It was set back and stand alone amongst the trees and had it’s own driveway with parking spaces and its own balcony adorned with modern garden furniture. When we went in with our very excited 2 year old we couldn’t believe our eyes to see 3 bedrooms, one of which en suite, a separate and stylish bathroom with large shower and a very modern fully fitted kitchen with dining table and open plan lounge. The accommodation had everything you would need for a holiday including microwave, all the pots and pans, plates, cups, glasses and cutlery. From the lounge including a colour TV and corner suite you entered on to the balcony though double patio doors. After lunch we grabbed our swimming gear and headed out to the main complex. The area is vast and we really didn’t know where to start… We headed firstly through to the sports area where you can climb the wall, use the sports court or the bowling green. We let Max loose on the outdoor play park and then he enjoyed an ice-cream from the shop. I noticed a Spar next to this area too which I thought would come in very handy should we run out of anything we needed.

watched on in amusement. There were some live acts following on but we decided to head back and get Max to bed. What a fantastic end to our first day!

Ice-cream demolished, we headed over to the Tides Owners Club which we were lucky enough to have passes for. What a stunning setting with indoor restaurant and bar to welcome you before walking out in to the outdoor seating area, with BBQ and a huge outdoor pool with smaller baby pool and Jacuzzi. To the side there is another outdoor play park and plenty of sun loungers. We threw Max in to the Baby pool and then we all had a great time splashing around in the big pool together in the heat of the sunshine.

After breakfast we went back to relax in our caravan and for Daddy to open his gifts before going back to the Tides where we enjoyed a beautiful lunch outside in the sun. We had fully loaded baguettes and chips and behind us the BBQ was started. To burn off both meals we took a lovely stroll around the park and headed back to shower and get ready for the evening ahead.

When we woke on the Sunday it was Father’s Day so we treated Daddy to a huge full English served up in the Mash and Barrel lounge and café. It was all cooked to perfection and well received.

We then made our way over to the main complex where we found a huge outdoor pool and indoor pool. We went in and were having fun in there with Max braving the big slide until he spotted the water jets section where we ventured too next. He was a little too small for the water flume but it looked good fun!

That night we went back to the main complex and Max enjoyed playing in the indoor soft play area which he and the other kids in there loved. By the time we returned to the caravan we had worked up quite an appetite so decided to order in a pizza from the onsite Papa Johns!

INTERIORS More and more of us are living in rented homes - but can we ever make them feel like our own? Joanna Thornhill tells Gabrielle Fagan about her mission to help tenants create stylish nests.

DON’T LET RENTING CRAMP YOUR STYLE

Our home should be a place where we can truly feel ourselves and show off our style and taste - but millions of us are living in someone else’s property, with all the limitations that imposes. Tenants have to cope with decor choices that aren’t theirs and landlords’ rules on what they can and cannot do to rooms. To add to the frustration - especially for decor divas current spiralling house prices mean it could be years before many can make the giant financial leap onto the property ladder. After living in 12 rented homes, Joanna Thornhill knows exactly what it’s like to “have a sinking heart as you look at wallpaper that doesn’t appeal and furniture that’s seen better days, and to be unable to make even basic cosmetic alterations”.

which bursts with inspiring ideas, practical advice, projects and tips to transform rooms without breaking the rules or busting the budget. It’s just as suitable for those who are nesting temporarily in their first-bought house or flat, before investing in their ‘forever’ home. “I’ve found through personal experience and through visiting a range of homes for the book, that rather than feeling burdened by the challenges of living in a place that cannot really be changed, it’s possible to be empowered by those circumstances. “Underwhelming or disheartening spaces can be transformed with a bit of creativity, imagination and a minimal outlay. Small changes, easy DIY projects and a little reorganisation can make a space you’ll truly love that you’ll be proud to call home.” Follow her suggestions for rescuing rented spaces, and you’ll find you don’t want your tenancy to end!

She has come to the rescue with her new book, Home For Now,

WALL WIZARDRY Boring walls - especially in an unappealing shade - can really impact on the atmosphere of a home. “Don’t be daunted, with a little thinking outside the box there’s no reason why patterned walls can’t be a part of any home, without breaking any of your tenancy rules,” says Thornhill. She suggests: Hide hideous walls by cladding a large freestanding board in wooden planks, or simply use a trompe l’oeil woodprint wallpaper. B&Q’s vinyl Wood Effect Wallpaper in Brown by Lutece, £14.98, looks like planks (www. diy.com). 42

If the walls are plain but boring and there’s a paper you love, try suspending one roll as a single drop by hanging it from a trouser or wire hanger secured with clothes pins or simply a couple of tacks at the top. Tactic tip: A tenancy agreement may stipulate that you cannot make changes to your home, but if there’s a specific task you feel needs doing you could approach the landlord to ask if you can do it yourself. For instance: one wall may be shabby or in a garish colour and you could paint it and then promise to return to the original colour when your tenancy ends, if they wish. 43

INTERIORS

Pictures and photos instantly personalise a space but hanging these up can be a problem if the landlord will object to potential damage of walls from hooks and nails. “Removable wall stickers, and increasingly, removable murals and even wallpapers have risen in popularity in recent years,” says Thornhill. “They’re also perfect for commitmentphobes because they can simply be peeled off, leaving no trace when no longer required. Picture hanging strips, instead of nails, could mean less, or no, damage to walls.”

BUY NOW Home For Now by Joanna Thornhill is published by CICO, priced £16.99.

She suggests: Make the most of paint leftovers or tester pots and create your own inexpensive artwork with a cheap canvas. Dab on different colours to create an abstract pattern, or echo colours which are already featured in the room. Lean against a wall on a shelf or centre-stage on a mantel, or use to cover up an ugly fireplace. Small cardboard gift boxes glued together create a display space, and are the perfect spot to show off lightweight items. Line

each box with colourful paper offcuts and attach to a wall with removable picturehanging strips. Removable wall stickers and murals are available from companies such as Stickers Wall (www.stickerswall.com); Command’s range of adhesive picture hooks and hanging strips available from supermarkets and stores including Homebase (www.homebase.co.uk). NB: Always do a patch test before embarking on a project to ensure the surface is suitable. Tactic tip: If you plan on staying in the property for a while, use this as a bargaining tool. Tell the landlord how keen you are to make it feel like home as you are likely to stay longer if you can make minor alterations. No landlord wants a property lying empty or the constant expense and hassle of advertising for tenants and vetting them, and so may be willing to bend the rules to retain a long-term tenant.

OUTDOOR LIVING

COLOUR STORY

BRING THE INDOORS OUT

Colour’s a given in interiors and is featuring strongly in patio collections. Those zingy shades can instantly brighten a small space and could be the answer if you lack bright, blooming borders or yearn for an exotic lift on dull days. “People are putting personality into their patios by using colour and texture to express their own individual style,” says Karen Wichard, designer at Alexander Francis. “They want to create the atmosphere of a ‘vacation spot’ characterised by splashes of colour, particularly Mediterranean reds and oranges which add a spicy touch, reminiscent of sunscorched days.”

Lounging and dining outdoors is one of the pleasures of summer but it must be done in style, because a poor setting will dampen spirits faster than a sudden downpour.

Just as desirable is the Resol range at John Lewis which packs a mighty colour punch. Red Bob Sofa, £600, and coloured Fiona Armchairs, £115 each

A patio should be furnished as carefully as any indoor space and, ideally, mirror your interiors taste so that there’s a harmonious ‘flow’ from house to garden. Fortunately, it’s now easy to create an area which impresses, as there’s a huge variety of affordable good-looking quality furniture in high street stores and DIY supermarkets that competes well with the high-end designer ranges. “Gardens are fast becoming an extension of the home with more and more people embracing a Europeam lifestyle - eating and entertaining outside, even though the weather sometimes doesn’t cooperate with our al fresco aspirations,” says Sarah Quilliam, head of product design for conservatory blinds and awnings specialists, Hillarys. “We’d all like a sophisticated, beautifully furnished area which seamlessly blends with our interior, and where we can enjoy an informal, laidback lifestyle with al fresco meals and spontaneous, impromptu gatherings on balmy evenings,” she adds. “Advances in design and technology mean there are plenty of ranges in weather-proof materials, such as synthetic rattan, so that pieces can be left out all year round and require minimal maintenance. “Awnings, lighting and sound systems, and stateof-the-art barbecues and stunning furniture - that wouldn’t look out of place indoors - are transforming our perception of garden spaces. These truly are now ‘outdoor rooms’ that speak volumes about our taste.”

Patio perfection is easy to achieve; follow the experts’ advice and choose from a selection of patio kit to suit your budget.

ALL WHITE Pure white’s the perfect choice if you want a sleek, uncluttered feel to your patio, and also evokes the bright exteriors of sun-bleached Mediterranean homes. “Increasingly, we’re favouring a pared-back look which matches our indoor style,” says Sarah Quilliam. “White or cream provides a brilliant contrast with the green of an outside space and helps to conjure a calm, peaceful atmosphere. Our cream or ivory fabric awning is becoming as popular as the more traditional striped fabrics.”

Pure white’s the perfect choice if you want a sleek, uncluttered feel to your patio, and also evokes the bright exteriors of sun-bleached Mediterranean homes. “Increasingly, we’re favouring a pared-back look which matches our indoor style,” says Sarah Quilliam. “White or cream provides a brilliant contrast with the green of an outside space and helps to conjure a calm, peaceful atmosphere. Our cream or ivory fabric awning is becoming as popular as the more traditional striped fabrics.”

FREDEESIGN

E& ADVIC VICES SER

Are you sitting on a fortune? Signature of Notices by Flat Owners Many flat owners have the right to get together to force the landlord to sell the freehold of the building to them or have individual rights to purchase an extension to their leases. There are tricky technical requirements however for which specialist legal advice is needed. One of the problems has been that notices to make the formal claims have been required to be signed personally by each of the tenants concerned. This has meant that it has not been possible to appoint others to sign under a power of attorney. This can cause problems in situations where: • One or more of the tenants were physically or mentally incapable and usually deal with things through an enduring power of attorney or a court appointed receiver; • A tenant was a company in which case strict requirements of the rules of the company for signing documents would need to be followed; • Where there was a very large block of flats where more than 50% of the flat owners exercised their right to acquire the freehold (Laceys has acted for a block of 133 flats where it was necessary, taking into account joint owners of individual flats, to get more than 80 people to sign one document over a short period of ti • Fortunately, on 14th May 2014, the law changed. The requirement for personal signature has been removed and this particular problem no longer exists. Exercising tenants rights to acquire the freehold, for lease extensions and to manage the block will however remain a technical minefield for the public and for non-specialist lawyers in this area. This is a particular specialism of Laceys. Laceys has been recommended in the Legal 500 independent guide to the legal profession for its expertise in property disputes such as these.

For the lucky few who have a plot of land big enough and a shale gas deposit below, there is a huge amount of money potentially below your feet as you read this article. Unfortunately, this applies to a very small minority of us but like the lottery, somebody has to be a winner sometime. For the vast majority of the rest of us though, there is still a way of making money from the plots which our homes and properties sit upon. Provided the plot is large enough, you may be able to build another property or more to share your plot. Perhaps your existing plot is too big to maintain or it’s too good an opportunity to turn down. Whatever your reason, now is the time to take advantage as the planning rules slacken off a little from government pressure on local authority planning departments. Most people are put off by variations on the same theme: • We don’t know what to do. We don’t know who to speak to. We don’t have any experience. We aren’t builders. • Finally the questions on everybody’s mind: What are the costs? Can we afford it? • They are all valid reasons to be wary of having a go yourself but they should not enough to put you off altogether.

• Yes, you did read that correctly – free, gratis, no charge. • So who are these people, where do you find them and what is the catch? • These people are all around us. They are estate agents, surveyors and architects. So why would they work for nothing? They work for nothing because they have an ulterior motive. They want the potential business if your application meets with approval. Architects want to design your new property. Surveyors want to get the build monitoring contract and estate agents want to sell or rent the property for you.

That’s where we come in, naturally. Just like the above, we too have to make a living and we are experienced in helping developers of all levels find the right funding for their project. If you have the plot already, you have planning permission and you have plans, there are specialist lenders available who will lend 100% of the build cost so you don’t even have to put you hand in your own pocket. Who can turn down the opportunity to make possibly hundreds of thousands of pounds out of their own garden? To find out more, call 01202 233660 today, email me on

ASK THE RECRUITMENT EXPERT Matthew Edge-Wilkins Platinum Property Partners Ltd

Veronica Strongman (Sales & Lettings Director), Des Simmons (Managing Director), Anita Smith (Holiday Lettings Director)

ASK THE EXPERT Bournecoast Property Agents Holiday Lets - How to choose, market and maintain a holiday rental property If you’re considering property as an investment, buytolet.net suggest one possible option is a holiday let. While holiday lets offer some excellent benefits, they are different to other types of property investment. Choosing a holiday let depends on a number of factors: • Will you use the property yourself? If so, you want to pick a property in a location that you enjoy and that is convenient for you to reach • Your budget. Different locations can demand significantly different

Highly commended at the 2013 In-house Recruitment Awards, Matthew is the Recruitment & HR Manager at Platinum Property Partners Ltd. He is also the Founder of myinhouse recruitment; a separate division of the Platinum Group who provide a unique, virtual in-house recruitment service to SMEs, new business ventures and property companies.

ONBOARDING – IT’S WORTH THE TIME! “Onboarding, also known as organizational socialization, refers to the mechanism through which new employees acquire the necessary knowledge, skills, and behaviours to become effective organizational members and insiders.” (Source: Wikipedia) Whilst so much work may have been put into an effective and robust recruitment and selection strategy, it can all be undone very quickly without an effective onboarding process in place.

property prices. And, do you want to buy a big family home or a small

Think about how you would answer the following questions:

apartment suitable for a couple?

• Do you keep in touch with successful candidates between offer acceptance and start date?

• The likely rental income. One of the main reasons that you would choose a holiday let over other property is that you can command a significantly higher weekly rent. And, popular locations will command good weekly rents. Are you looking to maximise your income through a high rent of your potential capital gain when you sell the property? How to market your holiday let

• Are your new starters made to feel welcome? • Is there an informative/interesting company induction in place? • Is there a first day/week/month plan in place prior to their first day?

You have two main choices when marketing your holiday let:

• Is the appropriate ICT equipment ordered in advance?

• Market it yourself

• Have new logins, passwords, emails etc all been set up in advance?

• Use a holiday letting agent Marketing the property yourself There are some advantages to marketing your holiday let yourself. Firstly, it will save you on the costs and fees charged by lettings agents. There are various websites that will let you advertise your holiday home. Bear in mind that if you market the property yourself, you will need to deal with all the administration. You will have to deal with enquiries, make bookings and take deposits and payments. Using an agent A holiday agent can help you to maximise your occupancy and ensure you are benefiting from rental income. Many will have a database of customers looking to rent properties like yours. In addition, an agent can take the hassle out of letting your property. They can answer enquiries, monitor and update availability, make bookings and take and chase payments. They can also deal with complaints and problems. Pricing your property Many experts suggest that the best way to decide where to pitch your pricing is to look at similar-sized properties in the area and use that as a guide. And, if your property had superior facilities or a better location then you may be able to charge a higher amount. The tax benefits of holiday letting One of the main reasons why many investors choose a holiday let is because of the tax advantages. Holiday lettings are recognised as a business (earned income) by HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC), unlike other forms of property letting which HMRC class as investment income (unearned income). For more information about how your property can work for you, contact the friendly and professional team at Bournecoast on 01202 437888 or visit: www.bournecoast.co.uk

• Is there an adequate training plan in place to get the new employee up to speed on the key job competencies as quickly as possible? These are all questions that if answered ‘no’ to risk your new starter having a very short career with you. New employees are at their most vulnerable in the first few weeks and are likely to be thinking things like ‘What have I done?’ or ‘I’m not sure about this’ or ‘This isn’t what I thought it would be like.’ It is likely they have joined you from a very comfortable environment where they knew the job, people and company inside out - to now knowing none of these and having to start again…..it’s like the first day of a big new school…..but for grown-ups! So…… next time you make a successful hire take some time to make sure you’re fully prepared prior to their first day of employment. This means ICT equipment and software has been set up and there is a detailed plan of action in place for at least the new employee’s first week with you. Believe me……you will reap the rewards and it is likely to have a huge upside benefit as to their first impressions of your business and enthusiasm/motivation levels.

Happy onboarding! For a FREE recruitment consultation, or if you have any recruitment related questions please contact Matthew on 01202 652100, or by email to m.edge-wilkins@platinumpartners.co.uk www.platinumpropertypartners.co.uk www.myinhouserecruitment.co.uk 99

Sharon Canning Move on Rentals

Matt Annen Director Pure Town Planning

Our tenants have just left the house we were renting to them. They had lived in the property for four years in total. Prior to them moving in we had new carpets put in throughout and have invoices to prove this. At the check out it was noted that there were some heavy stains on the lounge carpet, an iron mark in the hallway and hair tong marks in one of the bedrooms. My question is that as the carpets match throughout, are we legally entitled to ask them to replace the carpets in its entirety or

What can I do to my listed building without consent?

just the rooms where the damage is caused?

MORICONIUM QUAY, POOLE

LETS AGREED

WITHIN LAST 7 DAYS

It is unlikely the tenants would agree with this and if no compromise can be reached you can use the adjudication service via your deposit scheme. This is where a good inventory is vital with dated photographs and your invoice of the new carpets will stand you in good stead. The schemes say, ‘The landlord should not end up, either financially or materially, in a better position than he was at the commencement of the tenancy or as he would expect to be at the end of the tenancy.’ In other words the deposit in not like an insurance ‘new for old’. We have to look at what is fair wear and tear or beyond fair wear and tear and the most appropriate remedy. Appropriate remedies could be; 1. Replacement of damaged item where it is either severely or extensively damaged beyond economic repair or its condition makes it unusable. 2. Repair or clean.

3. Compensation for diminution in inherent value of the item or the shortening of its useful normal lifespan. With the damage of the iron mark and hair tongs to the carpets, this is negligence and if heavily marked should be replaced, if not heavily marked then compensation may be more in order. With regards to the stains, can this be professionally cleaned and with regards to the carpet being replaced throughout, highly unlikely? That said, replacement for ‘like for like’ costs will not be given. The adjudicator will take into consideration the life span expected of the carpets in question. For example if the carpet should have a life span of 10 years and your tenants have brought that forward by six years then the cost will be divided likewise. For example: Cost of carpet £500.00 Actual age now 4 years Expected lifespan of carpet 10 years Which means; £500 divided by 10(years) = £50.00 £50 x 4 (years) = £200.00 £50 x 6 (years) = £300.00 Therefore the Landlord pays £200 towards the cost and the tenant pays £300 as he has shortened the lifespan of the carpets life.

The safest approach is not to do anything without first obtaining specific advice! Any works which are deemed to affect the character of a listed building as a building of special architectural or historic interest require Listed Building Consent. Carrying out any such works without consent is a criminal offence and individuals can be prosecuted. A true listed building, not a “Locally Listed Building”, will be one of three grades depending upon importance: Grade I for buildings of the highest significance, Grade II* and Grade II. Most listed building owners are likely to have a Grade II building as these make up 92% of all listed buildings. It’s now easy to find out online if a building is listed – find a link on the Intelligence page of our website puretownplanning.co.uk. As all listed buildings are unique, what is actually covered by a listing varies. The protection usually covers the whole building, inside and out, and includes any attached structures including later extensions or additions. It also can include any permanently attached fixtures such as a chandelier or a shop awning. Finally be wary of buildings within the curtilage of the listed building – anything pre-1948 is protected as if it itself was listed. Seemingly minor works to a listed building are quite likely to require consent - such as installing an internal wall or painting over brickwork. It is best to always seek advice. It may sometimes seem like listed buildings are best avoided but often they have fantastic potential and just because consent is required doesn’t mean it won’t be given! We have recently secured permission for works to the upper floors of the Grade II Listed Royal Arcade in Boscombe which have been vacant for years. The works included the addition of an external cast iron Victorian-style gantry and the conversion of the interior into 28 self-contained apartments. Pure Town Planning undertook extensive pre-application consultations on this project with Planning, Conservation, Building and Highways Officers with regard to the internal and external alterations; the number and type of dwellings proposed and access arrangements. During the application, through negotiations and justification, we were able to convince all involved that the scheme would sensitively restore and revitalise the dilapidated first and second floors of the Listed Royal Arcade and help return this building back to its former glory!

Remember failure to protect a deposit in the relevant scheme will result in your Section 21 not being recognised in court and a fine of up to 3 times the original deposit to be paid back to the tenant.

Our expertise in creating elegant design brings delight and added value to any project. We work closely with both planners and clients to create personalised excellence to bespoke proposals - that always gain approval. Our use of minimal design interventions also means we can gain approvals for listed and older traditional houses.

However, self build projects don’t have to be an expensive nightmare, providing you get the design correct before you start construction. The secret is to understand your architect’s plans thoroughly, making sure they are correct and meet your requirements. Easier said than done! This is where the services of Planning 3D can make a big difference and help avoid making costly mistakes, by allowing the customer to view and walk around their dream home before it is built. Those complex, sometimes confusing 2D line drawings of your new home, can be transformed into simple 3D images on your TV, as if the property already existed!

• Internal room sizes – Is the room big enough and will the layout work? • Window positions and sizes – Do they provide sufficient light into the room and make the most of the views? • Internal door design and finishes – Is the wood too dark? Are all the doors opening the correct way round? The real benefit of Planning 3D is that changes can be made rapidly, allowing you to modify the house design to suit. With this knowledge, you can go out to tender and more confidently negotiate a fixed price deal with your builder. By investing a few hundred pounds beforehand in Planning 3D, you could save thousands of pounds in potentially expensive alterations!

NEWSTEAD WILL BE EXHIBITNG AT THE

Most people will budget for this by adding a 10% contingency to the build cost, which can act as a reserve in case they change their mind or identify problems with the design. Interestingly when these people then over-spend £30k, on a build cost of £400k, they proudly say they have completed the project under budget!

• External features and finishes – Does the house look right in that style of brick? Is the render colour correct? What if cladding was used instead?

The harsh reality is that many people embark on self-build projects with no previous experience of house building; they may lack the technical skills to understand the architect’s plans, and then pay a hefty price for making design changes during the Build phase of the project.

Building your own home should be an exciting and financially rewarding ambition. However, when you watch TV programmes like ‘Grand Designs’ you quickly realise that self build projects can rapidly become an expensive nightmare if you lose control of the project.

Now the whole family can see what your new house will look like both externally and internally. Collectively you can discuss, identify and resolve areas of change before you start building.

“First we had to remove the broken glass but were unable to completely secure the door leaf which was completely damaged so had to resort to boarding up for her security and safety. This added further unnecessary costs as a replacement patio door cost in the region of £1,200. He added, “This is a classic case of lack of maintenance. The customer advised that the door had been difficult to open and close for some time. She now realises she should have called us out in the first instance to repair the frame which would have

As a result, Richmond are now one of the leading windows, doors and conservatory installers in the area. Allan added: “This customer needed to force the door open and closed. If your windows or doors are difficult to open and/or close, this is a clear

indication that something is not right. This window could have been repaired for about £200 but now it’s escalated to nearer £1,500.

THIS WEEK: REPAINT THE INTERIOR WALLS

THE BETTER BLIND COMPANY

One of the easiest ways to breathe new life into your home is to repaint the interior walls. But something so simple can seem daunting when you go into a DIY store and see the vast array of paints available. Emulsions are designed for walls, but some paints can be used on multiple surfaces, giving you even more choice. A wall colour you don’t like is hard to live with and, as there are so many different colours and finishes to choose from, it’s important to try the paint first, preferably applying some to all four walls so you get the full effect and can see the colour at different times of the day. Printed colour charts aren’t accurate, so don’t rely on them, and the same is true of paint colours viewed online. If you can’t find the perfect colour in the off-the-shelf ranges, try those available from in-store paint-mixing machines, where there are thousands of choices. Again,

get a tester first to be sure of the colour. Sometimes, only a specialist paint will do. For kitchens and bathrooms, it pays to use kitchen and bathroom emulsion because, depending on the range, it’s wipeable and steam, stain and mould resistant. These paints used to have a sheen, but now you can also get matt ones, which have a nicer finish - Crown Paints’ kitchen and bathroom range includes some lovely colours in matt. Other specialist paints for walls are available including ultra-tough ones for rooms that take a lot of punishment, such as halls and playrooms, and chalkboard, metallic, textured and feature-wall paints. For dark rooms, try Dulux’s Light & Space range, which is designed to reflect twice as much light as conventional emulsions for a lighter and brighter feel. Once you’ve found a paint you like, the next problem is

how much to buy. The paint tin will have information on coverage, but it won’t necessarily be accurate. You can use an online paint calculator to work out how much paint you need for a room - these calculators take into account things like the size of the walls, windows and doors - but the amount will also depend on the paint and the state of the walls. More paint is needed to cover textured wallpaper and lumpy and bumpy walls than smooth, perfect ones. Newly plastered walls are also very absorbent - always seal them first with plastersealing liquid or watereddown emulsion. If you’re painting over dark-coloured walls with a pale colour, you’ll save time and effort by applying a basecoat emulsion first, which should cover most of the original colour so you don’t have to do endless coats of topcoat. Some basecoat emulsions cover hairline cracks, patchiness

PRODUCT OF THE WEEK DUCK TAPE Whether you’re doing DIY or day-to-day repairs around the home and garden, Ultimate Duck Tape (from £8.49, B&Q) is handy to have around. This multipurpose tape has a layer of strong adhesive, a tough fabric layer and a waterproof layer, so it can be used outside as well as in and will stick to most surfaces. It tears off easily and comes in different colours for different tasks - the clear one is good for repackaging things you’ve bought but want to return to the shop!

Romans Multishade Rooflite

Verticals Pleated Blackout

CONSERVATORY BLINDS with a wide selection of styles & colours to choose from;

and stains, making them a good buy. It’s obviously better to have too much paint than not enough - most DIY stores will refund unused tins, although usually not from paint-mixing machines

(unless faulty). Sometimes the same colour can change slightly between batches of paint, especially with paints that use natural pigments, so not buying enough in the first place can be a DIY disaster in the making.

HOW-TO TIP GROUTING TILES CAN BE TRICKY BECAUSE, IF YOU LEAVE THE EXCESS GROUT ON TOO LONG, IT CAN BE HARD TO REMOVE, BUT IF YOU WIPE THE TILES CLEAN TOO SOON AFTER GROUTING, YOU CAN REMOVE MORE THAN JUST THE EXCESS.

Wait a few minutes after you’ve applied the grout and then wipe off the excess diagonally to minimise dislodging the grout from the crevices. Use an abrasive sponge so you can scrub off the excess easily, and use the back of the sponge to smooth over the grout lines as you go, which saves having to go over them with a grout finishing tool afterwards.

THE GRUB OUTDOORS

The closest thing to a villa holiday, nothing signals summer like stepping outdoors and entertaining family and friends in the sunshine.

If your open space is more currently looking more dull and dismal than French Riviera, or a bit on the poky side, fear not. Whether or not you’re lucky enough to be blessed with lush, sprawling lawns, even the smallest of patios has the potential to be brightened up with some potted plants and hanging baskets, for instance. Set the scene with colourful tableware and informal garden furniture; the perfect recipe for eating al fresco. The latest collections suit all tastes and budgets this summer, whether it’s a casual shindig you’re after or more formal outdoor dining to mark a special occasion. You don’t have to fork out on pricey crockery and outdoor items - there are lots of fun and charming disposable or plastic dining sets, as well as paper decorations and bunting. As Lauren Bennett, Sainsbury’s outdoor buyer, points out, this makes “outdoor entertaining both easy and affordable”. And new trend-led designs for items like napkins, cutlery and sundae bowls means budget al fresco dining can be “practical and stylish”. Of course, those keen to make outdoor eating a regular event for summer might want to invest in a good BBQ. But, that’s not essential - you can even go smoke-free and cook indoors but eat outside.

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

THE TOW CAR AWARD The Nissan Qashqai is the overall winner of this year’s Tow Car Awards. This year’s 56 entries, a record number since the first competition in 2007, ranged in size from a Fiat Panda to a Land Rover Range Rover Sport, valued from £11,000 to £75,000, and included plug-in hybrids and engines as small as 1.0-litre. They were all competing for 11 awards split across five weight classes and five special categories – Green Award, Money No Object Award, Best MPV, Best Ultralight Tow Car and Best Petrol Tow Car – plus one overall winner, the new Nissan Qashqai - with a 130 hp, 1.6 dCi engine. It also won its 1400-1549kg weight class. The judges said it is: “A brilliant family crossover, a superb tow car, plus it’s built in Britain.” Last year’s overall winner, the Skoda Octavia, won the ‘Up to 1400kg’ weight class again, while the Volkswagen Passat Estate, Jaguar XF Sportbrake and Land Rover Discovery also retained their titles in their respective weight classes once more. This year’s Best Ultralight Tow Car is the Renault Captur, while the Vauxhall Insignia Sports Tourer is the Best Petrol Tow Car. Six cars were shortlisted for the Green Award and subjected to What Car?’s True MPG tests, but the Volvo V60 Plug-In Hybrid AWD was a clear winner. New awards for 2014 include the Best MPV, won by the Citroën Grand C4 Picasso, and a Money No Object Award which had to go to the £75,000 Land Rover Range Rover Sport.

ABARTH RANGE REVISED New colours, greater technology and a host of other changes feature in the latest range of Abarth 500 cars - the new 695 biposto, a 595 Competizione, 595 Turismo and 595 50th Anniversario. The 190hp biposto has a top speed of 143mph and accelerates from 0-60mph in just 5.9 seconds. It features a special “Grey Performance” paint colour, front, rear and roof spoilers, a Brembo braking system and can be specified with options such as a “Dog Ring” gearbox, lightweight aluminium bonnet, carbon fibre detailing and 4-point racing seatbelts. The 595 Turismo is powered by a 160hp version of Abarth’s 1.4-litre

turbocharged T-Jet engine and gets leather sports seats, 17-inch 10-spoke diamond cut alloy wheels. With only 299 to be produced, the Abarth 595 50th Anniversario (Anniversary Edition) has a 180hp, 1.4-litre turbocharged T-Jet engine, and features an Abarth Competizione gearbox, 305mm floating disc brakes from Brembo, the ‘Record Monza’ exhaust and 17-inch alloy wheels.

information such as fuel consumption and headlight alignment, and ‘sport’ which shows performance data such as longitudinal/lateral acceleration (G-meter). The Abarth 500 range starts at £14,560 for the 1.4 T-Jet 135hp (manual), rising to £32,990 for the 695 biposto 1.4 T-Jet 190hp.

While the word supercharged may conjure up visions of a powerful racer, you won’t be leaving tyre marks on the road with the Note, but that is not the point of this model. Its 1.2 litre 3-cylinder engine is designed to offer decent power output – 95hp – but also 99g/km emissions for no road tax, and impressive fuel economy – 67.5 mpg combined. It is an attractive package and while standard models start at £12,100, my supercharged test model was near the top end of the range, an Acenta Premium, laden with kit and priced at £15,395, and with pearlescent paintwork an extra £700. Standard equipment on this version includes auto lights and wipers, Bluetooth, climate control, four power windows, cruise control and speed limiter, CD/Radio and AUX input, stop-start system, sliding rear seat, front side and curtain airbags, remote entry and key-less start, daytime running lights, touchscreen navigation and 16 inch alloys. The latest Note has a sleeker profile than its rather squarebacked predecessor, and does look a premium-level hatchback. Similar in size to the VW Golf, the Note may not have quite the same badgecachet but does offer excellent driving dynamics. The acceleration is typical in the sector, 0-60mph in 11.7 seconds, and the top speed of

112 mph means it is a good unstrained motorway cruiser. The steering is well-weighted, in fact a little heavier than most hatchbacks, giving it a very stable feel, and the suspension set-up copes with bumpy roads with composure, yet is not overfirm. The 5-speed manual gearbox is slick and precise and adds to the overall feeling of control and assurance. The Note’s cabin is well-built and functional, though lacks any eyecatching styling details which might

impress passengers. But occupants will like the amount of room available, even in the rear where head-room and leg space is better than in most rivals. Load space is also praise-worthy (or perhaps Note-worthy!) with 325 litres of boot, expandable to 411 litres by sliding the rear seat forward – a very useful feature. The Note is an attractive contender in the very competitive hatchback sector, and its main plus-points are its low running costs, excellent fuel economy and renowned Nissan reliability.

Choose exercise that you know you can maintain consistently. Something you enjoy, that doesn’t feel like a chore. Consistency is the key to physical improvement. Likewise chose a healthy eating regime that you can maintain. There’s no point going on a diet with a view that once you’ve reached your goal weight you plan to revert to eating what you did before. Incorporate resistance training like weight training, bodyweight work (push ups etc.) into your weekly regime. It will make you stronger, leaner, increase your metabolism and make your bones denser. Stretch. As we age flexibility is the first physical conditioning factor to deteriorate. It’s important to undertake a stretching programme. Add a good quality Omega 3 supplement to your diet. Omega 3 fatty acids will help increase immune function decrease blood pressure, Y ONL blood viscosity and inflammation. Call for more information or to book your tour!

INSIDE JAMIE’S KITCHEN

TOP TIP

SERVES 6

Once the chicken is cooked and resting, put some sunglasses on her and upload the photos to Instagram - a bird sitting on a can of beer in glasses will definitely get you some likes

In a nondescript old warehouse in London’s trendy East End, there’s a secret army at work, cooking up a storm.

Nile Street is Jamie Oliver HQ, from where the chef and his team of cooks mastermind his next move... or maybe not. “Everyone always seems to think there’s a massively strategic... strategy,” says Oliver, laughing, “but generally, there isn’t.” It’s quite a task to count up the number of pies he currently has fingers in - there are his restaurants (37 Jamie’s Italians at last count, Fifteen, Barbecoa...), his publishing empire (umpteen books and Jamie magazine), the Jamie At Home cookery range, his Fabulous Feasts catering business, his Fresh One production company - the list goes on. It sounds exhausting, but today, Oliver’s as freshfaced as ever and has boundless energy. It’s reflected in his latest venture, Food Tube, a YouTube network dedicated to cooking videos; his organic, interactive alternative to normal food programmes. Since it launched last year, millions have watched clips - such as Oliver and Kevin Bacon going head

to head in an ultimate bacon sandwich contest and it’s made viral stars of his proteges, including DJ BBQ, Cupcake Jemma and Kerryann Dunlop, who have all now launched cookbooks under the banner ‘Jamie Oliver’s Food Tube Presents...’ They’re currently all seated in comfy tan leather sofas on a floor of the warehouse that doubles as an office, complete with mood boards and a kitchen/studio for making Food Tube videos. “These guys smashed it,” says Jamie of why he picked the trio to have books published. “I thought, ‘June, July, barbecue, fantastic’. For comfort food on a budget, Kerryann’s just smashing it with the feedback from the audience, they really love her. And who could not love Jemma and cakes?” They make a motley crew: DJ BBQ (aka Christian Stevenson) is an American extreme sports presenter-turned DJ-turned cook, hard-working Jemma Wilson wowed Jamie at a street party with her cupcake stall, and Kerryann was one of his first apprentices at Fifteen when she was just 17.

DJ BBQ is so enthusiastic about cooking, it makes your mouth water. He’s adamant we should be barbecuing year-round, not just in summer. “It’s the original way we all cooked. We cooked on charcoal and on wood, and we shouldn’t have stopped because there’s flavour in that fuel,” he says. Oliver agrees: “It’s only 70 years that we’ve been cooking on electric and gas. For the billion years before that, there’s always been a cinder, puffs of smoke - it’s a sensory thing. If you stand in front of a fire, there’s something earthly and connected [about it], not sterile.” “When I was a kid, I always wanted to be a TV presenter and I’d put that to one side to start my bakery, but this means I get to do both things,” she says. “I’m proud of the bakery, but for a time, I didn’t get to bake for fun, I just used to bake cupcakes. Which is great, but sometimes, you just want to make a flapjack, you know?” Here’s a recipe from one of Jamie’s Food Tube stars to try at home.

RECIPE

Beer Can Chicken Ingredients

Method

1 x 1.7kg higher-welfare whole chicken

Before you start, check if your barbecue lid fits over the chicken upright. If not, don’t worry, you can lay the bird out flat - you just need to decide which way you’re doing it before you prepare the chicken, then set the bird aside to come up to room temperature.

Now for the tricky bit - use both hands to pull the chicken’s rear apart and carefully manoeuvre it on to the beer can. If you’re laying the chicken flat, make sure you position the can so the hole is at the top to prevent the beer from spilling out.

Meanwhile, set up your barbecue for the heat canyon technique (place the coals on opposite sides of the barbecue to make two heat walls this will create sections of hot, direct heat on the sides, with an indirect, cooler area in the middle to ensure your meat gets consistent heat throughout the cook).

Place the bird upright on the middle of the barbecue, making sure the legs are pointing forward so it doesn’t topple over - a comical sight - and cover with the lid. Cook for around one hour 30 minutes, or until golden and cooked through, remembering to replenish with hot coals halfway, if needed.

Place a drip tray inside the middle of the barbecue. Cover with the lid and allow to heat up like an outdoor oven - you want a temperature of around 175C/345F.

To check if it’s ready, pierce a thigh with a knife if the juices run clear, it’s done. Remove the bird to a board to rest for 10 minutes (this is the perfect time to take some rad photos), then carve up and serve. Enjoy the juiciness, ness, ness . . . wow, this meal comes with reverb.

4 sprigs of fresh rosemary Olive oil Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Three of the Best Bagged popcorn

1 x 330ml can of your favourite beer

Pick the leaves from two rosemary sprigs and bash in a pestle and mortar with a drizzle of oil and a good pinch of salt and pepper, then rub all over the chicken. Make sure the beer is at room temperature, then pour out two-thirds of it (or drink it!) and insert the remaining rosemary sprigs into the can. 150

Tired of looking tired? Evenlines launches Hollywood Eye Magic® Miracle under eye treatment in a bottle. There is one product that has been creating quite a buzz on the industry social media scene recently. Despite its very un-clinical name Hollywood Eye Magic® is attracting the attention of consumers and professionals alike because of its dramatic results. Dr. Eve at Evenlines Clinic quotes “We have never seen so much excitement and client enthusiasm than we have seen with the introduction of Hollywood Eye Magic® under eye serum. It is a fantastic cosmetic product which is achieving amazing results”. The under eye serum instantly reduces and eliminates puffiness, bags, circles and wrinkles in this delicate area. It contains no chemicals, is not tested on animals and is fragrance free and hypoallergenic. The list of natural ingredients contained in the product include sage, calendula, cucumber, lemon, lavender and willow bark. One application will have an effect that lasts eight to 12 hours but the serum also has a cumulative firming and rejuvenating effect. Because it is purely a cosmetic product there are no clinical trials but the results seem to be speaking for themselves with dermatologists, doctors and nurses stocking the brand alongside their high-end skin products. Although new to the UK market, the Hollywood Eye Magic, which is made in Canada, has been around for more than 10 years and social media is awash with remarkable before and after pictures, celebrity endorsements and testimonials. With such high consumer demand and dramatic results, Hollywood Eye Magic® is definitely the one beauty product to have!
