GARDENS FOR CHARIT Y

LO O K AN D PRO D U CT L AU N C H

Lewis-Manning Hospice is seeking greenfingered fundraisers from across the county to participate in their garden scheme next summer (2019) and they want to encourage at least 25 gardeners to sign up.

Bluewater Spa celebrated its exciting new look and partnership with British lifestyle brand Temple Spa at a VIP launch event on 12th September. Bluewater Spa is part of The Connaught Hotel, a stylish 4-star luxury escape located in West Cliff, Bournemouth.

The aim of the open days is to raise £20,000 for the hospice. The monies raised will pay for the complete running of the bedded End of Life unit for five days. This means that patients and their families can spend their last moments in comfort and peace, creating memories they will cherish forever.

More than 200 esteemed guests attended the occasion including journalists, bloggers, and local business professionals from the Dorset region. Attendees were treated to a Prosecco and Mediterranean-inspired canapé reception, complimentary spa treatments and products with tours of the new spa facilities.

The garden at the Hospice (shown in photo below) which overlooks Poole Harbour, has been described as a ‘sanctuary’ by patients. For more information or to sign-up please contact David James david@lewismanning.co.uk

D U T TO N G R EG O R Y S O L I C I TO R S STRENGTHENS COMMERCIAL L I T I G AT I O N T E A M Cheryl Glynn-Baker joins Dutton Gregory as a Commercial Litigation expert, with over 30 years’ experience in her field. Cheryl has spent the last 16 years specialising in Contentious Trust & Probate, and is already supporting a number of clients with their claims.

Named after its magnificent azure blue swimming pool, the Bluewater Spa is located in the heart of Bournemouth. The spa facilities include a steam room and sauna, fully equipped gym and relaxation lounge, together with four private therapy suites including a double treatment room, where guests and spa members can book in for one of Bluewater’s nourishing Temple Spa treatments.

KITC H EN S

Dorset-based independent mortgage broker, Cherry Mortgage & Finance, has been selected to feature in this year’s Parliamentary Review which uses the input of a number of businesses and organisations to inform law and policy makers about best practice, innovations and issues within a number of industries.

Kitchen House introduced Kelly, their new addition to the Kitchen House team, a couple of issues ago. She has recently completed a project in the form of their new Kitchen House flags. The flags show an example of one of their “WOW” Kitchens that they have been designing and supplying to their clients since 1987. You can spot the flags outside their showroom the next time you travel down the busy Castle Lane West.

Representing the financial services sector, the company will feature alongside leading businesses that have been hand-picked to participate due to their knowledge and expertise, and to showcase current practice and future initiatives. Director and mortgage adviser at Cherry Mortgage & Finance, Matthew Fleming-Duffy said: ‘Selection for the Parliamentary Review is welcome recognition of the hard work the team here has put into making us successful. We’re honoured to offer our insights and experience to help inform policy. Many credit-worthy consumers are refused a mortgage following the regulatory changes we’ve seen in the UK over the last few years. We’ve seen mortgage prisoners that cannot obtain a cheaper loan as they do not qualify under new lending criteria. Ten years on from the ‘credit crunch’ and we must ask ourselves; “Are we in a better place financially?” It’s never been more important for the Government to understand what is currently happening in the mortgage industry.”

N E W A S S I S TA N T BUILDING CONTROL S U RV E YO R J O I N S M C PLAN & SITE SERVICES MC Plan & Site Services is thrilled to welcome on board another new member of staff. Cameron Wright has joined the team as an assistant building control surveyor and is based in the multi-award winning company’s head office in Poole. Local lad Cameron originally studied carpentry at Bournemouth and Poole College and went on to achieve his NVQ Diploma. He is about to finish his NVQ Level 3 Building Site Supervision. Cameron’s day to day duties will involve assisting the Senior Surveyors with all their daily tasks, including plan checking and site visits, with a view to eventually qualifying as a surveyor himself. Mark Cook, owner of MC Plan and Site Services said: “We’re delighted to welcome Cameron to the team. We are currently receiving an unprecedented amount of instructions and consequently are experiencing a massive growth spurt! We are also taking on other assistants in the coming month.”

They are the ethical agent, whether selling or buying, letting or renting, they represent both efficiency and ease in attaining your desired outcome.

The Bournemouth office of national Chartered Accountants, Saffery Champness LLP, has welcomed a significant client win, having been appointed by Ellis Jones Solicitors LLP to look after all aspects of its accounting and taxation affairs.

Spotlight Sales & Lettings have, within their first year of trading, been shortlisted for The Negotiator Awards 2018 as “New Agency of the Year” for the whole of the United Kingdom which is an amazing achievement, congratulations! Also, quite importantly, Spotlight is ahead of the rest of the agents in the area and DO NOT charge tenant fees. The tenant fee ban, which will be enforced in 2019, will leave other agents increasing the fees to their clients. With Spotlight, this will not be the case. Spotlight knows that no two clients are the same; it is this ethos that shapes their truly high quality client experience from beginning to end. Allan, Michelle, Niamh, Liam & Giles are always on hand to build and maintain the high standards expected by their clients. Spotlight’s expert team reflect a principle of providing the best possible service. This means that you can be assured of local knowledge on one hand, and expert property advice on the other. Spotlight will give you a very real peace-of-mind and will help you navigate a course to a happy outcome, always holding your individual story as their focus. Contact Spotlight Sales & Lettings today to see how they will put your property in the Spotlight!

AUTUMN INTERIOR TRENDS

AF TER THE MOVE

Katie Thomas, Design Director of KTM Design and Regional Director of the Society of British and International Design (SBID)

Steve Webber, Director of Maidmans Moving & Storage in Poole, has many years experience in the moving and storage industry. Mrs C asked “How do we return packing boxes?”

As the weather shifts from summer to autumn, it is a great opportunity to make changes to your home. With the cooler weather kicking in, we see a transition from bright, citrus tones and pastel colours to warmer, richer palettes. This is evident in both fashion and interior trends, as what we see on the catwalk trickles down to interiors.

Steve says: “Following your move and after the dust has settled, Maidmans will contact you to check everything you expected has been carried out. We will arrange to collect any packing boxes and material to be reused or recycled, from your new home.

Burgundies, plums and purples become more prominent as the cool evenings begin, but the contrasting combination of mustard and emerald will be taking centre stage. These darker colours evoke a sense of cosiness, quietude and being wrapped up in the warmth.

Having settled into your new home you may find some heavy items of furniture are not in their best location. Our team will happily re-positioning them for you”. Maidmans attracts many new and returning customers through third party recommendation and reviews posted on industry review sites and social media.

Look out for statement pieces to give a new focal point to your room this season, whether this is an indulgent leather chair or a tartan footstool. As one of the most dominant fabrics in fashion this season, leather is making its way further into our homes, and tartan, checks and paisley will be key for bringing a touch of heritage charm.

We use the independent review company Referenceline, where you can leave an online review, commenting on your move experience. Referenceline works with Trading Standards to show the track record of various businesses, including removal companies, so the public can judge who is most likely to meet their needs.

This season the aim is to create a moody, enchanting atmosphere of comfort and seduction. We do this by layering rich textures and patterns in the dark, sultry colour palettes.

To use social media please visit our Facebook page search for Maidmans Moving & Storage Ltd. If you prefer you can also write to Maidmans with any feedback you would like to share with us.

Designing and styling a room is one of the most fundamental projects one should embark on to make a house your home. A haven suited to you and your family; making sure the space is beautiful yet practical, handsome yet functional.

Richard Pettifer, Manager, and his team at our Westbourne Office specialise in insurance for householders. A-One Insurance has been established as a Broker in the South for 25 years, our expertise enables us to research the market on our clients’ behalf and is one of the reasons why clients choose to stay with us year after year. Whatever you need, from home insurance to holiday homes or buy to lets, our risk advice can provide a solution. Our in-house claims team means you can visit us locally in branch at Westbourne or Ringwood and deal with a person rather than a call centre.

Commissioning a professional interior designer could help you make those key decisions and undoubtedly deter you from making hasty decisions and mistakes — ones that could cost dearly later on in the renovation project. Meet Emma Jane Interiors

A designer with a traditional flair, living in the world of French Chic, Traditional English and Vintage Décor, Emma Jane Interiors have built a desirable reputation for quality and bespoke originality. Bringing country mansions and idyllic cottages back to life, injecting a sense of belonging and love back into the four walls of any home.

With helplines to support you with Legal Advice, Tax Advice, Health and Medical Information Services as well as Counselling and Identify Theft Service help is at hand.

In Emma Janes’ case, the commissions have become the bedrock of her character for class and style, as clients have been held spellbound by the breath-taking ideas and impressed with the talent to create the faultless ambiance, and the astonishing ability to source the perfect piece of furniture or accessories to complement any room.

The JPS Story Going from strength to strength... In Chapter Two of the JPS story we discussed the phenomenal growth and success of this multi-award winning and well respected local company. In this next chapter of the JPS story we look at the importance of an excellent reputation and top quality customer service to ensure continued growth. It is no secret that there is currently a skills gap, especially in the property and construction industries.

No Chimney – No problem with this clean burning Gas stove... The experts at Superior, Ben Upham and Michael Athay took the time to tell us more about the increasing popularity of environmentally friendly and affordable gas stoves… As a result of all the recent negative publicity facing wood burning stoves, we have been overwhelmed with enquiries for our range of clean burning flueless gas stoves, which provide a real alternative to solid fuel wood burning stoves and are not only kinder to the environment, but also help reduce running costs to deliver affordable warmth taking more people out of fuel poverty and at the same time, provide an attractive Focal Point to the home. When you consider that 84% of the 25 million homes in the UK rely on gas as the fuel for their central heating and hot water – at around 21 million households, it is therefore, a natural progression to include any new appliances that use the same fuel.

have much lower emissions than wood burners and they do not produce any particulate matter which is hazardous to health. Our flueless gas stoves therefore, provide a real attractive alternative which are easy to fit and are 100% efficient. Consumers no longer need to spend thousands of pounds to install a flue, or have their chimney cleaned to enjoy all the benefits of a cosy stove in their homes. Our clean burning alternative gas stove does not require a chimney or a flue, are simple and cheap to install and produce a stunning realistic flame effect.

We must also remember that natural gas is still the lowest cost fuel when it comes to supplying a comparable amount of kW usage. Our flueless gas stoves which do not require a chimney or flue to operate and therefore, offer a cleaner more convenient alternative for example, to solid fuel stoves. The real alternative to the solid fuel stove is our gas stove which is similar in size and with its traditional styling, changing to a gas stove can be a simple process. We designed, developed and launched our range of gas stoves which are a more efficient alternative to solid fuel without compromising the real flame they create and are simplistic in design. You may not be familiar with the flueless technology which we have utilised in the stove yet, but you will be familiar with the ever-popular wood burning stoves. Our flueless gas stoves embrace the look and feel of these solid fuel stoves and we need to make consumers aware that following recent reports on air quality that gas fires are suitable for use in smoke controlled areas due to the fact that they

A cleverly designed, patented control

system is ideally located at the front of the

appliance making it easy to use and control, without having to clean out, fill up and relight as you would need to do with solid wood stoves and many people still want the

look with the simplicity of using gas. Flueless stoves are simple to use, create instant warmth and benefit from not having the hassle of empty out ashes or store

logs, which you have to do with a solid fuel stove. Flueless stoves are some of the safest products on the market, tested and certified by BSI to internationally recognised standards (EN14829) and use an innovative catalytic converter system which is positioned at the top of the appliance to convert any combustion gases into carbon dioxide and water vapour, levels of which are typically

present in fresh air, meaning you can safely enjoy warmth from your gas fire or stove.

A business that has high expectations With over 55 years combined industry experience, Bourne

Lifts

have

successfully

completed

ISO

accreditation to install and maintain both residential and commercial lifts. Among the many projects under their belt, Bourne Lifts, tells us about a particular favourite that they undertook at the Forest Park Hotel. The Brief Our first lift design and installation was a big project that had an important emphasis on the contemporary re-design of the Tudor renaissance Forest Park Hotel situated in the heart of the New Forest. The bespoke project therefore needed to be in keeping with the ambiance, style and décor and had to be installed within a short lead time.

“At Bourne Lifts, we take immense pride in driving the industry standards forward, focusing on efficiency, quality, and safety.” The Solution The lift was installed whilst other restoration works continued within the hotel to minimise obstruction to staff and guests. Each component was diligently designed with the specific requirements of the hotel to ensure aesthetic and structural integrity. All these were taken into consideration whilst working closely with designers and management to ensure project fluidity and décor design through to completion. This particular project has proven that we strive for excellent working relationships with all of our clients from project concept through to service completion; always incorporating our work ethics of honesty, commitment and quality that consistently radiates in all our projects.

REFLECTIO N S O F RICHMOND

AS the nights draw in and the weather deteriorates, are you and your home protected? Now’s the time to start thinking about remedial repairs to your property, to reduce the risk of expensive and inconvenient damage to your roof or balcony.

WITH this year’s Bournemouth Air Festival now a distant memory, Allan Tofield of Richmond Home Improvement Co. reflects on what that weekend always means to him.

C&D Roofing Ltd can keep your property dry and the wet weather out. They are specialists in leadwork, tiling and balcony restorations and their unrivalled choice of waterproofing systems is one of the reasons that they are the preferred contractor for so many manufacturers, local authorities, home owners and managing agents across the UK.

Allan says: “When the Sea Vixen takes to the skies I become nostalgic as I remember my grandfather’s stories of working on these aircraft. He was an engineer at De Havilland’s in Christchurch, the site now known as Airfield Way. My father and maternal grandfather also worked there.

Carey Chissell, owner of C&D said: “We work on many of the local large blocks of flats and houses in the area so are familiar with all the different styles of balconies.”

Sadly, in 1972, the Sea Vixen (formerly DH110) a British twin-engine, twin boom-tailed, two-seat jet fighter – the first to achieve supersonic speed - was phased out of service with the Royal Navy. Only one remains airworthy, which is seen each year at Bournemouth’s Air Festival.

“Whether you want a modern finish or a more traditional style for your balcony, we work with all products on the market and with our many years’ experience in the waterproofing arena, we’re best placed to do the job - and do it right!” he added.

“My Grandad served in both World Wars with the Royal Flying Corps in Italy up to 1918 and is in this photo with his comrades. He then joined the army during World War 2, serving in India and the War Office, being de-mob’d in 1946 as a Major (acting Colonel). Naturally, I am very proud of his achievements and his contribution to our Country!” he adds.

C&D Roofing are approved IMA members, having exclusive access to highest quality roofing and waterproofing systems which demand the greatest installation skill and therefore carry the most comprehensive guarantees.

To see how Richmond can help you reach for the skies and maximise your home’s potential, visit their website at www.doubleglazingdorset.com or contact their friendly team on 0800 614102.

The Bath Works; A Tradesman’s Point of View We met the team at The Bath Works for the first time in their Bournemouth showroom, where owner Ross Pavey took us through the journey of the business so far: “Eighteen months ago, having worked in the plumbing industry for the best part of a decade, Owners Ross and Steve put their heads together and decided to put all of their knowledge into their own independent bathroom showroom—with their signature friendly customer service, and the relevant expertise to back it up. So they did, and thus, The Bath Works was born.”

Now, with another showroom open in New Milton and countless projects later, we decided we ought to speak to the customers/tradespeople who work with The Bath Works on a daily basis, to hear what they really had to say about their products and service. So, we caught up with Dom at Total House Plumbing, to get a first hand account. What was your involvement with The Bath Works? I originally got involved with The Bath Works via their plumbing merchants, Gas Bits. I’ve worked with them for over six years, on countless plumbing projects and in that time they have consistently got me what I needed, at a fair price, with a great service. So when they announced that they were launching a dedicated bathroom company, and asked me to try them out, I knew I could rely on them.

What was/is it about The Bath Works that makes them stands out to you as a customer? It doesn’t matter who you speak to, their team are always so polite and friendly. Nothing is too much trouble. With the nature of my work — i.e. not all plumbing jobs are planned — and different projects always evolving, I often need someone who can get me things the next, if not the same, day it’s requested, and The Bath Works are brilliant in that respect. Even if it’s not a quick turnaround (if their suppliers don’t have the stock for example) they always keep me informed, which means I can keep my customers informed and everyone remains happy and on the same page.

Dazzling autumn colour walks with the National Trust in Hampshire At this time of year, there’s a palette of colours waiting to be discovered across breath-taking National Trust landscapes in Hampshire. Discover beech woods of golden foliage, sparkling streams and russet heathland. With hundreds of walks available to download for free from the conservation charity’s website, there are plenty of opportunities to get outdoors and connect with nature. From gentle strolls through pretty parkland and pretty villages at Hinton Ampner and Mottisfont, to bracing walks across ancient New Forest commons, there are trails to suit all tastes. The National Trust is encouraging the nation to explore the many special places it looks after. With the generous support of members, supporters and volunteer teams at our properties, we look after some of the country’s most beautiful places and are planning to spend £1 billion over the next ten years to make the countryside healthy, beautiful and rich in wildlife.

ASK THE EXPERT

But you might be surprised at how seemingly minor details can derail the process. Something as simple as the wrong address on your drivers’ licence could prompt the lender to return your application and request more information – while more serious lapses may lead to a rejection. Here is a breakdown of the most common stumbling blocks to having your mortgage application accepted quickly and hassle-free. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13.

Wrong address on drivers’ licence Not changing address on the voter’s roll. Mistakes on statements. Changing your name after marriage. Keeping unused credit cards open. Forgetting to disclose credit. Submitting your tax return at the last minute. Proof of building up a deposit. Out-of-date benefit award letter. Providing scanned document instead of original. Errors in a credit report. Late or missed payments on your record. Taking out payday loans – even in the past.

Forget the Maldives, Canouan is the new holiday hotspot Liz Connor checks into Canouan, and finds an unspoilt Caribbean stay fit for an A-lister. Whether it’s St Barts in the summer, Aspen for a winter ski or Bora Bora for a digital detox, you can always rely on certain parts of the world to attract the rich and famous. But every now and again, a new playground appears, and superyacht owners set their coordinates accordingly. The latest luxury hotspot is Canouan - a tiny but verdant island in the Caribbean archipelago nation of St. Vincent and the Grenadines. It’s shouldered by St. Lucia to the north and can be reached by a ninehour flight from the UK to its western neighbour Barbados, followed by the ultimate Caribbean arrival - a 50-minute propeller plane journey gliding into a beachside airstrip. The three square-mile island, which is home to 1,700 residents, isn’t short of natural beauty; it’s surrounded by small bays and coves, secluded white sand beaches and one of the Caribbean’s largest coral reefs, offering incredible diving and snorkelling. A little over a decade ago, it was developed into Donald Trump’s home-away-from-home, when the ex-property tycoon invested in luxury villas, an international casino and golf courses. Now, all traces of its ostentatious past have been erased and the focus is fixed on attracting a new type of moneyed millennial customer, looking for luxury and adventure in equal measure. With a seal of approval from the Mandarin hotel empire, a new superyacht marina, a purpose-built private jet runway and whispers of a new Soho House in the works, Canouan’s stock is firmly on the up. Here’s where to stay, play and kick back like a billionaire on its palm-fringed shores.

So, what is there to do once youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve suitably palmed off the suitcases, work phone and children? Pad up to the infinity pool and enjoy a glass of crisp rose while looking out to glinting Caribbean Sea, or robe up and head to the thatch-roofed spa, which has several Instagrammable treatment suites either nestled into the hillside or floating on covered wooden platforms in the ocean. A funicular lift takes you up into the trees, where you can hear rolling waves from the massage bed, adding an extra layer of bliss to the experience. There are all kinds of wellness treats on the menu to pummel and soothe the aches and stresses of an international flight, ranging from Balinese massages and aromatherapy treatments, to body wraps.

A foodie paradise There are plenty of eating and drinking options scattered around the island, so you don’t feel like you’re trapped inside a resort bubble with other holidaymakers. The hotel’s 1,200-acre estate is shared with the Grenadine Estate, a real estate project that has mindfully developed high-end residential villas in throughout Canouan’s hillsides. The estate has worked hard to carefully integrate the ‘new island’ and its luxury residences into the local landscape, by funnelling money back into local amenities. Future plans for the island include a yacht club, fisheries, a community sports centre, further development of high-end residential villas, a waterfront development project that includes an outdoor village market and a new community school campus. The hotel encourages guests to dine in restaurants on the north side of the island, just a short drive away. There’s super-romantic beachfront L’Ance Guyac Beach Club for excellent fish and handcrafted cocktails, or you can have a chilled-out, al fresco lunch of sandwiches, salads and grilled seafood at nearby Shell Beach Bar & Grill. The hotel can arrange a complementary shuttle for you, and the bill can be added to your room for ease. If you’d rather stay closer to home, there’s a relaxed Mediterranean restaurant at the hotel, which serves tapas, brochettes and crunchy stone-baked pizza,

of everything. My favourite is the intimate Juliet, a smart bar-meetsrestaurant with a private members’ club feel. It serves a impressive list of wines from around the world, alongside tender beef dishes, freshly caught fish and delicious island-sourced veggies. After gorging and glugging, you can slope out to the restaurant’s outdoor terrace and enjoy a nightcap under the stars.

3. Sail out to Tobago Quays A real lure for nature lovers is Tobago Cays, a cluster of wild cays surrounded by turquoise lagoons which featured in The Pirates Of The Caribbean movies. Around a half-an-hour yacht journey from the hotel (ask staff to book you a slot), the cays are a paradise to throw down an anchor and snorkel alongside green sea turtles. The cost for these excursions will vary according to the type of boat and the destination, but a half-day excursion on a six-person catamaran costs £921. How to get there Seven nights at the Mandarin Oriental, Canouan start from £4,129 per person, based on two adults sharing a one-bedroom Beachfront Suite on a B&B basis, including return economy flights and interconnecting island flights. This price includes a special offer (valid for travel from November 5, 2018 and completed by April 22, 2019) of a complimentary room upgrade, plus one free night - an offer representing a saving of up to £1,440 per person. Book with Inspiring Travel Company (01244 355 527, inspiringtravelcompany.co.uk) Words by Liz Connor, Press Association

What to do on Canouan island 1. Take a hike It’s two-hour round hike to the peak of Mount Royal, which offers wonderfully uninterrupted, panoramic views of the island’s secret, secluded beaches and beyond to the Southern Grenadines. A guided hike is complimentary on the hotel’s daily activity schedule, or you can organise a private ramble, which costs £27 for adults and £10 for children. Make sure you’re well prepared with water and suitable shoes, as the ascent can be steep and rocky at points. 2. Go beach hopping Canouan is spoilt for sandy spots, and there are five within the hotel’s estate (a complimentary shuttle service can be arranged). Like many Caribbean shores, however, they are suffering the blight of global warming, with swathes of orange seaweed thriving and drifting from the Sargasso Sea. The Mandarin staff work tirelessly to keep Godahl free of the stuff by raking it into piles using a tractor, so this is probably your best spot for paddling.

How to choose the right conveyancer Many people consider moving house to be one of the most stressful times in their life. However, choosing the right conveyancer can make all the difference. A conveyancer has a vital role to play in handing all the legal aspects of your property sale or purchase and should give you peace of mind that the important details are being looked after.

Email us info@laceyssolicitors.co.uk laceyssolicitors.co.uk

If you are unsure where to start looking, read our top 5 tips below which should provide a useful insight into what to look for! TIP 1: COMMUNICATION IS KEY

TIP 4: EXPERTISE COUNTS

Communication is key to keeping stress at bay. You need a conveyancer who will listen to your concerns, identify and explain any issues, provide solutions, and keep you informed every step of the way.

No two property transactions are the same, so it’s important you appoint someone who specialises in conveyancing who will be able to guide you through the process and ensure everything progresses efficiently.

Whist it may be tempting to choose an online conveyancer based on cost alone, you are likely to end up dealing with a different person every time you call who may not be familiar with your transaction. Ideally you should look for a local conveyancing firm which knows the area and which will appoint a person or team to handle your sale or purchase, allowing for quicker communication and a more personal service. Select a firm you know and ask who will be looking after your file, it could save you a lot of frustration in the long run.

TIP 2: LOCAL KNOWLEDGE You shouldn’t underestimate using a local conveyancer who has a good knowledge of the local area and understands any local issues or factors that may influence your move. Using a local firm also makes it easier if you need to deliver documents in person. It is also helpful to have the option of a face to face meeting with your conveyancer to discuss any questions or concerns you may have and a good conveyancer will always be happy to make the time to meet you and put your mind at ease.

TIP 3: GOING CHEAP MAY COST YOU! The conveyancer you choose will be responsible for all the legal aspects of your sale or purchase and whilst you might want to keep costs to a minimum during what is undoubtedly an expensive exercise, don’t let it lead you to an inexperienced or disreputable firm. The cheaper the conveyancer’s fees, the more likely it is that you will be dealing with unqualified staff who are just following a script as opposed to an experienced and qualified lawyer who can adapt to your specific circumstances. With conveyancing, you get what you pay for. Also check that the cost estimate you are provided with by your conveyancer details all legal fees and other payments so that you can budget for your transaction. Sometimes a cheaper “quote” does not always include all costs of the transaction. A good conveyancer will always provide you with a transparent cost estimate detailing all likely costs.

This may sound obvious but this is not an area of law to rely on favours or inexperience, the standard of service can vary dramatically from one firm to another. Online conveyancing firms often employ unqualified staff in order to keep their fees attractive.

TIP 5: RECOMMENDATIONS Often, when buying or selling a property, people find themselves choosing a conveyancer in a hurry, at the point when they are ready to make or accept an offer. Try and avoid this, as it often results in careless decisions. Your estate agent or mortgage broker may be able to recommend someone, and friends and family are also worth asking as they will base their recommendation on their own personal experience.

Win the home of your dreams Win a Mega Home - the competition where one lucky winner will win Avon Place, a stylish and contemporary six-bedroom Huf Haus in Avon Castle, Hampshire, has selected the Royal Air Force Benevolent Fund as its nominated charity. The RAF Benevolent Fund, which will celebrate its centenary next year, has partnered with Win a Mega Home to help promote its competition to win the luxurious £3m property. Donations to the charity, which supports retired servicemen and women, serving RAF personnel and their families, will be raised through ticket sales generated by the RAF Benevolent Fund. A percentage from the tickets purchased through the Fund’s unique affiliate code will be donated to the charity with the aim of raising £30,000 at the end of the competition in December. If by the end of the competition the target is not met, Win A Mega Home will contribute to the donation to ensure that the total is achieved.

We simply could not do this vital welfare work without the generous support of projects like this.” The competition to win Avon Place has received extensive engagement on social media and within the press since its launch in March. One lucky winner will not only be able to call this superb state-of-the-art property their home but also included in the prize is all fitted furniture, Stamp Duty and solicitors’ costs.

Commenting on the partnership, Mark Beresford, director of Win a Mega Home, said: “We are delighted to have chosen the RAF Benevolent Fund as our nominated charity. The money raised will help them care for forces families, serving personnel and veterans who need help with a range of issues including funeral costs, debt, housing, mobility problems and medical care, and help train others to support them.” Claire Hall, Head of Fundraising Partnerships at the RAF Benevolent Fund, said: “As a charity which receives no regular government funding, we are thrilled Mark and his team have chosen to support the RAF Benevolent Fund with this exciting project. The RAF Benevolent Fund has stood side by side with the RAF for almost 100 years, ensuring the RAF Family of serving personnel, retired veterans and their families do not face adversity alone.

Stylish home decor trends for autumn Designers have revealed their new decor schemes for autumn and winter. Gabrielle Fagan selects her three favourites. Autumn is the time of year when nature changes it’s colours, and thanks to the new home collections, it’s easy to ring the changes indoors too. Choose from sumptuous florals, a cool Nordic theme that celebrates easy, stylish comfort, or full-fat maximalism, with its emphasis on luxury and individuality. Be inspired - whether it’s a total revamp or just a refresh with a few new accessories - so that your rooms are fashionably kitted out for the seasons to come... Make magic with moody blooms “Escape the everyday and saturate your home with glorious jewel tones this autumn. There are so many ways to use them - in Oriental, deco, and bold floral prints - I love that it all feels a bit fantasy,” enthuses Lois Vincent, home designer at House of Fraser. “You can up the glamour quota by mixing in a few gilded accessories; after all, who doesn’t need a flamingo candlestick in their life?” DECOR TIP: Rich plum and berry shades are the perfect autumnal palette for a cosy feel. If you don’t want to go full-on floral, choose dusky pink and warm neutrals for a backdrop and then layer up with petal-rich accessories, from throws to bed linen.

Make the most of your garden this Autumn Autumn is upon us and with that comes falling leaves and damp ground, as a result, it’s important to take all the precautions we can in order to ensure our safety when we are out and about. Reformed Plastics can offer you a great solution for keeping safe at home and work… We offer anti-slip walkways and decking that have 85% more friction than hard wood, when wet. This means that you can walk down your garden without the risk of falling over on damp and slippery surfaces. Our walkways and decking come in black and brown as standard, and are completely maintenance free. They also will not rot or splinter, and last for over 50 years.

Due to ever increasing importance to recycle and protect the environment, the plastic used is recycled in the UK and is the perfect alternative to wood. Our aims are to help rebuild the environment by utilising a commodity, which people would otherwise just throw away, and so turn what to some would be rubbish into a valuable product for everybody. 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. • Resistant to extreme weather • Will not rot, split or splinter • Will not need painting or staining • Is wear resistant • Resistant to vandalism • Resistant to salt water • Resistant to chemicals • Resistant to insects and bacteria • Anti-slip decking • Lasts for over 50 years

Park benches, outdoor tables, square or rectangular plant boxes, decking and seating... the list is endless.

plants to give your garden winter interest Don’t cut down all your finished-flowering perennials, as their seedheads and stems may look stunning in winter, writes Hannah Stephenson. Yes, the garden may look untidy now, with beds full of faded flowers and herbaceous borders past their summer flourish - but some plants come into their own in winter, providing eye-catching seedheads and colourful stems through the cooler months. Andrew Hellman, garden manager at RHS Garden Hyde Hall, has helped create the new Winter Garden there, which focuses on herbaceous plants with striking colours and texture in the foliage and seedheads to add interest in winter. Here are six of his top plants for adding structure and colour to the garden scene during the cooler months...

Iris sibirica ‘Silver Edge’ Siberian irises produce hearty clumps of slim

foliage and delicate iris flowers in shades of purple on tall stout stems. “At RHS Hyde Hall, we grow them in our winter garden less for the flowers and more for the dark seedheads, standing proud atop rich coppery stems from late summer though winter,” says Hellman. “The seedpods look like a grouping of hungry baby birds, mouths wide for food. They pair well in winter with grasses, the dark seedheads contrasting with the pale foliage of the grass. Eventually, they may collapse from snow or wind and can be clipped to leave tidy mounds of the copper foliage.”

Hydrangea paniculata ‘Phantom’ It’s not just evergreen shrubs and trees that are

important for winter interest. This shrub flowers in late summer and early autumn, with conical panicles of pale pink and white flowers. The faded flowers remain on into the winter, pale puffs at the ends of darker

bare stems. “Their texture captures the low winter sun particularly well and you may be tempted to cut a few stems for the house,” Hellman observes. “Hydrangeas let you know when it is time to cut the stems back, as green leaf buds start to show in late winter. Prune to a framework of

switchgrass cultivar is one of the best. It grows very upright to 1.5m without flopping. Pink flowers are followed by clear yellow autumn colour and, finally, pale winter foliage. Its columnal shape and clear base make it good to use in a formal planting design, or as an architectural accent in looser planting. Underlighting would look particularly striking with this grass. “It grows quite densely and makes a wonderful rustle when the wind blows through it,” adds Hellman. “It will happily stand through March when it needs to be cut down to allow the new growth to take over.”

Datisca cannabina An unusual plant where space allows, datisca

has tall upright stems with fine foliate growing 2m or more. The stems arch over at the tips with tassels of greenish white flowers. They retain these stems and tassels through the winter with a ghostly appearance as they dry. The tall stems have plenty of space between them, allowing you to see whatever is planted behind. “They pair well with lower plants,” notes Hellman, “such as the dense heads of stonecrops (Hylotelephium ‘Herbstfreude’) in a border.” Words by Hannah Stephenson, Press Association

WHY LED LIGHTING?

Ask the expert

LED Lighting consumes less energy, produces less heat, outputs more light and is easily installed into existing light fixtures and fittings.

ADD SOME KERB APPEAL TO YO U R P R O P E R T Y

This is not always a straight forward transition, as finding the right product can be tricky. Here at Led-zip we offer expert advice to make this process effortless for you.

Never underestimate the impact a garden can make on a property sale. To create an entrance that maximises your home’s kerb appeal, we recommend framing with architectural evergreen shrubs. If you’re after a more traditional look, we recommend the topiary of buxus balls or pyramids as they are able to survive well in light shade. Alternatively, opt for shaped yew or upright conifers to help bookend an entrance.

• LED is cleaner, safer and environmentally friendly. • Extremely energy efficient – they are up to 80% more efficient than traditional fluorescent and incandescent lights. • 95% of the energy in LEDs is converted into light and only 5% is wasted on heat. • Less energy use reduces the demand from power plants and decreases greenhouse gas emissions. They are also very safe – lights do not contain mercury and are very easy to recycle. • LED will contribute to a dramatic reduction in your energy bills. They also last up to 15 times longer. • Old style energy saving halogen and fluorescent bulbs take a long time to reach full intensity, with LED, you get full instant light.

For something more interesting, try the larger upright forms of Euonymus. Their dark green foliage on long upright stems offer a more contemporary look and are super easy to grow. They look great in dark coloured pots topped with a lighter stone top dressing. Autumn is the ideal time to add some colour to your garden. Pre-planted pots with lots of seasonal colours can be a quick fix to lifting the ambience of your frontage. The introduction of potted plants will add a splash of vibrant colour. Use the yellow glow of Goldenrod along a border and complement this with some Michaelmas Daisies to add a varied pop of colour.

LED is the only choice for helping yourself and the environment. Our philosophy here at Led-Zip is. You should only buy LED lighting once, so buy the best.

Trim the edges of lawns with edging shears to neaten them and if needed, cut new edges with a half-moon spade. Hard surface areas will also look better after a sweep or a quick blast from a blower. Once clean, they can be treated with an algaecide to prevent moss and algae building up and keep them looking newer for longer. Homes with smaller gardens or flats can still improve their kerb appeal with the addition of hanging baskets – which are easy to maintain all year round. Plant hardy Winter Pansies or Heathers in October for colour throughout the frosty months. You can tweet @HaskinsGarden for gardening advice or visit www.haskins.co.uk

Road Test THE ST YLISH AND FUN R AN G E ROVER E VOQ U E CONVERTIBLE RB Prestige, born out of over 20 years’ experience, is a company I wanted to be renowned for a high emphasis on customer service and offering Prestige to all when buying your next, first or dream car. Every person that walks through our show room door deserves a prestige service as they are placing their trust and business with me and my team. Buying your next car, especially first and always dream car, is an exciting time and what gives us the most satisfaction is to make the experience of purchasing your car enjoyable and not daunting. Our expertise enables us to do this for you and gives you the confidence that we will also deliver the excellent aftersale care you should expect and hope for; MOT’s, servicing, repair and customisation. Each month we will be writing about all things cars; from

Range Rover Evoque Convertible, and see what myself and Kyran were banging on about. “I was so excited when I saw the beautiful Evoque convertible arrive at the showroom. It looked so chic and very different to anything I had seen before in person. “Luckily for me the sun emerged just as we drove away from the showroom, so Rob showed me how to put down the roof as we drove through Westbourne. I have had rides in convertibles before, but this was a whole different experience. It had the feel of a convertible sports car but this time I was up high, looking down on everyone else. I put on one of my favourite tracks which sounded crystal-clear through the Meridian sound system. This was my dream car. I loved all the little extras that gave it that touch of class like the electric heated leather effect sport seats, the heated steering wheel and the touchscreen display, making it very clear that you are driving a prestige vehicle with every bend.

The Evoque is the smallest in the Range (pun alert!) and this convertible comes with a 180bhp 2.0 -litre diesel engine. It offers a smooth drive with automatic transmission, excellent too for driving on motorways. This is where the cruise control comes into its own and there is also the added benefit of lane control and lane departure warning. The cabin exudes comfort with bolster, 4-way lumbar front heated seats, heated steering wheel for those cold mornings and has an ambient lighting – interior package. We are extremely proud of all the Evoques that we have supplied and, while the hard top versions are proving extremely affordable now, it is brilliant to see the convertible start to appear on the used car market. We also express a huge welcome to any clients and customers new to RB Prestige to come in and see us at the showroom. Purchasing a car is such an important process and we know it takes a while to decide on the car that is the right fit for you. That’s where our expertise, support and advice comes in; without being sold to. Whether you want Ford or Ferrari, we want to have fun helping you find the right car and the many methods to own it that can be tailored to you. That HAS to be the fun part! Thank you for sharing our new House journey. We very much look forward to writing for you in the upcoming issues.

“I loved the town experience, but I am a bit of a country girl at heart and the Range Rover appealed to me because of its off-road capability. Thus, I was intrigued to see how such a stylish car would perform off the high street. We headed up to Upton Park to trial it, and I was not left disappointed. I had driven SUVs off road before but driving the Evoque convertible was an incredible surprise. The openness of the car meant we could enjoy the nature around us and smell the onset of autumn in the forest. The car had transformed into a work horse and as we bounced along it felt capable and secure. “It was soon time to head back to the showroom and to my to-do list which no doubt Kyran, our sales manager, had extended for me. I was delighted to feel that as soon as the wheels touched the tarmac we were back to uptown polished mode. This is a truly diverse car!”

M OTO R I N G N E WS Nick Fletcher tells us the latest news on all things motoring.

R O A D T E S T: N I S S A N X-T R A I L

COOLEST CARS FOR SCHOOL RUN Automotive expert HPI has revealed the top five list of cars guaranteed to boost the ‘school gate cred’ of UK mums and dads, following a poll amongst its team of specialist motoring editors. And top of the list is the Jaguar F-Pace. The Jaguar is followed by Range Rover Evoque, Volkswagen Tiguan, Audi TT and BMW X1. Derren Martin, head of current valuations at HPI, said: “With the return to school imminent after the long, hot summer we thought it would be fun to look at some of the makes and models of cars that can give the ultimate feeling of school gate cred.

Some drivers would like an MPV because of its seven seat capacity but find the overall size of the vehicle too large, and some would like an SUV but find its seating capacity too small. Luckily there is an alternative – the Nissan X-Trail, writes NICK FLETCHER. The X-Trail meets both needs - it has SUV styling but is also available with seven seats, comes in 2WD or 4WD form, petrol or diesel engines and prices start at £25,590. Four-wheel-drive models are very versatile – in normal conditions they send all the power to the front wheels, but if sensors detect a slippery surface, power is sent to the rear wheels as well. And if ground conditions are more demanding, you can lock the system in 4WD for better grip. Cabin space is very good though not of course as roomy as a proper MPV. However, while the third row of seats is primarily designed for use by children, adults can be accommodated because you can slide the middle row of seats forward to create more leg-room. Boot space is good even with seven people on board – 565 litres. And with

“Our team of editors considered everything from top of the range supercars and concept cars but eventually decided to keep it real by settling for more realistic and practical vehicles that would really appeal to parents but still have some wow factor. The Jaguar F-Pace just edged it - with its iconic heritage in a popular SUV body style, the F-Pace is sporty and compact yet relatively affordable.” O CTO B E R 1 8

all seats folded down you get a van-like 1,996 litres. X-Trail has a more rugged look that most SUVs and all grades get 17-inch alloy wheels, cruise control, air conditioning, a CD player and DAB radio among standard kit. My test model was an upper-spec Tekna with 1.6 litre petrol engine and 6-speed manual gearbox. Top speed is 124 mph, the 0-60 mph 9.7 seconds and emissions 149 g/km. Fuel economy is 44.1 mpg combined.The Tekna suspension set-up is supple so you get a comfortable ride and decent cornering composure. Standard kit includes touchscreen with sat-nav, powered glass sunroof, front and rear parking sensors, a bird’s-eye-view camera system, intelligent Park Assist, powered tailgate, plus extra safety features and an upgraded audo system. This version, in seven-seat form and with pearlescent paint, costs £32,755. While there rivals in the class which may be a tad more economical or offer lower emissions, few can match the X-Trail for its overall familyfriendly practicality.

N E W S BY N I C K F L E TC H E R | M OTO R I N G

R O A D T E S T: B M W X 2 M SPORT X The BMW X2 is one of the most familyfriendly in the SUV class, spacious, wellequipped, superbly designed and built, and with the extra kudos that the BMW badge provides, writes NICK FLETCHER. With its sloping roof-line and shorter wheelbase, the X2 has a sleeker more sporty look than its X1 stablemate and is designed to appeal to younger buyers, yet creative interior styling means it still scores highly for day-to-day practicality. The range starts at £30,040 for entrylevel SE trim which comes with alloy wheels, dual-zone climate control, rear parking sensors, electric tailgate, satnav and a DAB radio. My test model was an upper-range M Sport X version with a 192 hp 2.0 litre petrol engine and 7-speed automatic transmission.

It has a top speed of 141 mph, a quick 0-60 mph time of 7.7seconds, fuel consumption of 51.4 mpg combined and emissions of 134 g/km. Underway, the X2 is smooth and responsive, with accurate steering with good feedback. On the corners it is remarkably composed and ride comfort is very good on all but the roughest surfaces, when the harder suspension and larger wheels emphasise their presence.

With many additional features including larger 19-inch alloy wheels, firmer suspension, leather seats, smarter interior trim and a body kit which gives a more rugged appearance, this version is £35,400.

The driving position is slightly lower than in some SUV models, though frontal visibility is still good and the cabin is a nice place to be, with quality materials on show and a well-laid out dashboard.

173

Cabin space is ample for four adults - five at a pinch - and the boot, though not the largest in the class, is still more than adequate at 470 litres. And all X2 models come with a powered tailgate. The X2 greatly impresses, notably for its stand-out styling, generous equipment levels, fine driving dynamics and its build integrity and high standard of finish. Of course, there are a number of formidable SUV rivals at lower prices – its a very crowded sector. But few if any can match the overall blend of style, quality and cachet that this BMW delivers.

Dorset Dental Clinic celebrate an exciting new venture at the Italian Villa The Italian Villa at Compton Acres was the impressive setting for the launch party of Dorsetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest and leading dental clinic. Philip and Kayley McCauley plus their team welcomed friends, family and many professionals from the local dental community, to help celebrate their intriguing new venture. The evening started off gently with Champagne, locally sourced food and canapes and Conker Gin and Tonic in the beautiful Italian gardens around the picturesque pond adjacent to the villa. The guests were entertained by a jazz saxophonist and local balloon artist. A welcoming speech from Philip McCauley, Joint director with his wife , Kayley, was followed by a very heart felt endorsement of the clinic from the well renowned local Maxillo Facial surgeon, Professor Ilankovan, who was particularly complimentary about Philips skills in the field of Dental Implants. The warmth between the two professionals stretching back over 20 years was palpable.

Philip and Kayley were also proud to be joined by their dental team; Miriam Mikatova, Eleanor Roth and Emily Whitmarsh, to help them in their journey in their new venture. After the sun had set, guests continued to mingle indoors enjoying refreshments and to showcase the teams abilities and Philips surgical expertise. Then as moods livened further, the crowd headed downstairs to dance the night away with the live band and further entertainment with the fun casino. House magazine wishes them all the very best for the future.

Fill each pudding mould to about a quarter with the fondant mixture, then place a frozen cube of ganache on top. Cover the ganache with more fondant mixture until the pudding mould is just over half full. Gently tap the moulds on the work surface to remove any air bubbles. Put the filled moulds onto a baking tray and bake in the centre of the oven for 14 minutes - do not be tempted to open the oven door! When the timer goes, remove from the oven immediately. Gently release the sides of each pudding using a small round-bladed knife. Put a small serving plate on top of the mould and flip upside down so that the plate is now the right way up. Carefully lift off the pudding mould. Serve immediately with an extra dusting of cocoa powder.
