PROPERTY MATTERS &250$& ),1/$<

How to sell your home quicker than the rest APPEARANCE matters, and when it comes to selling your home it is best to keep it simple â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and neutral.

Flowery or pink feature walls may look great to you, but they could be an issue to potential buyers. Those out viewing properties may not be able to visualise he house the way they would like it. So play the percentages when staging your home for sale and present it well. Use neutral colours like creamed and browns so as not to alienate potential purchasers.

Price it right; in the current market houses that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sell are either overpriced or poorly presented for sale. Checking the property price register for recent sales prices and the current advertised prices of similar properties on daft. ie should give you an idea of what your home is worth, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advisable to discuss the market price of your property with you local property professional and come up with a plan to get the best possible price.

Know your target market; if your property is a modern three bed semi detached home then you should pitch it

at small families and ďŹ rst time buyers. It should be staged in such a way to appeal to them.

The family market need to fall in love with your property, make sure itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presented in a way that it appeals to them.

Make it child friendly and declutter so it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel small and cramped. If you are trying to sell a two bedroom apartment then your target market is likely to be property investors need to make the property as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;ready to rentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; as possible.

Take good photos; the phrases â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;a picture speaks a thousand wordsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; has never rang truer than in a sales advert. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the ďŹ rst thing your attention is drawn to when scouring through hundreds of potential properties for sale. Professional standard photos attract more views of your advert and in turn attract a higher number of actual viewings and bids for the property.

Have your documents and solicitor in place; make sure you have all your legal paperwork in place. Do everything you can to ensure there are no hold ups on your side. â&#x20AC;˘ Cormac Finlay is an auctioneer with Liberty Blue Estate Agents

5 MAY 2016

SUZANNE POWER

Punctuality is a skill

All we need is the weather conscious as one wants to go.

There are a myriad of options available for every pocket.

These days most of us are cutting corners with regard to holidays and are opting more for â&#x20AC;&#x153;stay-cationsâ&#x20AC;?. With that in mind outdoor furniture can be tailored to our own budgets so letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s consider whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s available on the market today.

Ingaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eye On Design For all your home & interior tips HOPEFULLY in the coming weeks it will be time again for outdoor living. Garden rooms, decks and patios have all become extensions of our homes. These rooms or spaces often feature surrounding landscapes, a garden pond, a covered trellis or even a vegetable or herb garden and hedges or fences that serve as boundaries on our properties.

Nothing revives the soul like fresh air and spending time drinking in the best part

of life-the company of those we love and the sounds of nature in all of its â&#x20AC;&#x153;joie de vivreâ&#x20AC;?. A good dose of back yard serenity can do wonders for your perspective on life.

What better way to spend our summer evenings or leisurely week ends than by enjoying breakfast/lunch or early evening barbecues with family and friends. The elements for relaxing outdoor living and entertainment can be as elaborate or as budget

WOODEN FURNITURE Teak outdoor furniture is expensive because of its scarcity but it is possible to get the look of teak on a budget.

Opt for hardwood furniture made from other equally beautiful but less expensive woods. Keep with the â&#x20AC;&#x153;green themeâ&#x20AC;? by checking for FSC (Forest Stewardship Council).

7KLV FHUWLÂżHV WKDW WKH ZRRG is sustainably grown and harvested. Caring for your furniture involves sanding and treating with oil annually.

ALUMINIUM FURNITURE

This is long lasting, easy to maintain and resistant to corrosion. It comes in various types and styles. All aluminium furniture will have a â&#x20AC;&#x153;powder FRDWHG´ ÂżQLVK WKDW JLYHV WKH metal its colour and inhibits fading due to the elements.

WICKER FURNITURE This comes in a combination of real wicker and poly resin thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s holds up to the rigours of outdoor use and unpredictable weather conditions. It is strong lightweight and comfortable and comes is a wide variety of styles and colours. For extra luxury, additions can be made E\ DGGLQJ VLGH DQG FRŕľľHH WDEOHV and extra sofas and chairs.

Outdoor heaters, cushions, umbrellas and garden lights for evenings, a carafe of wine and you are ready to go. All we need is the weather.

There are some amazing deals from Lidl at the moment.

Check out their stores and website.

FOR some reason I have a lot of friends who are nurses. Nurses are not late for anything.

They know people can die because of it. They know time is precious.

I am not a time keeper, because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not a time watcher. Fifteen years facilitation of groups, ten years workLQJ LQ RɤFH HQYLURQPHQWV DQG , KDG DOO WKH FORFN WLFNing I needed.

By nature I follow rhythm rather than hour. But that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the lads to school on time.

So my husband bought me a vintage, 1950s watch, to make me see time as a nice looking thing, with a bit of history and not so scary really.

And I love to hear the ticking sound it makes.

Unless Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m late. ,ÂśYH GRQH WRR PDQ\ EUHDWK LQ ÂżVW PRUQLQJV SDOSLWDWLQJ DW WKH SUHVVXUH RI WUDɤF ODGHQ 1HZWRZQ 5RDG P\ nose jammed up against nine am. I was supposed to GURS WKH ODGV ÂżIWHHQ PLQXWHV EHIRUH WKH WLPH P\ GLJLWDO dashboard clock reads. I so much prefer vintage time, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kinder and a lot less accurate.

Also you can fool it by putting the watch hand four to ÂżYH PLQXWHV RQ My aunty by marriage pours tea from a height and never keeps an accurate clock in her house. She believes its bad luck to know what time it is. We share no DNA but the same inclination. Knowing the real time somehow reminds me of my own mortality. Or the sands of hours running out. As a freedom junkie I prefer not to dwell on this information. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;As a mother Until I try to get my teenagers out on time. Not a task for of teenagers reprehensible time bungling fools like myself. How to give this really puts out to someone about the the cat among same thing you do yourself?

Now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s become the norm the pigeonsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for me to say the things parents and teachers, then employers, said when I was turning up for the outside world.

Today no one knows yet Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m late but for two Labradors and a small, very self important tabby cat.

But if Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not at the school dates at 3.45pm today I am fecked. Right now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 11.48, a thing I would never have known if I was referring to my vintage watch. But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m RQ ODSWRS %LJ %URWKHU VDWHOOLWH FRQÂżUPLQJ QRW D VHFond out, time.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m asking my laptop will I make all I have to do before I leave? Computer says no.

So, it comes to me now, before I can do no more harm that something has got to change.

A friend of mine who works in consultancy sent me a checklist of attributes to show me where my strengths and weaknesses lie.

Apparently I need to work on my foreign language skills, supervising others and time keeping.

As a mother of teenagers this really puts the cat among the pigeons. Arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t they the most essential skills to that job?

Since no one will let me resign I asked my consultant friend what do I do?

He told me to do less.

I thought consultants got you to work smarter, he says donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work so hard. Leave fallow periods in your day. Three minutes doing nothing but sitting still, list priorities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can do anything, but you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do everything,â&#x20AC;? another friend says. My life just slipped through to the second half of the hour glass so the things that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make my clock tick have to go.

The consultant says life is a compromise between what you have to do and what you want to do, but the emphasis is on the latter. He thinks poor time keepers are not leaving enough room for themselves.

Being punctual is a skill. Being early is rude. Being on time a master craft.

The trick, in his book, is to see time as an ally, something that with proper prioritisation yields results.

Ones you want. Not ones others wanted for you.

I never thought so much could go into thinking about twenty four hours and what they mean.

What you do with your day you do with your life.

Enjoy yours.

Several signals suggest a constructive week even if Mercury is retrograde. True, you might be frustrated by a slow pace (nothing new there). By way of compensation however you could be delighted that others are now getting their act together and planning. Knowing what their goal is and how others intend to reach it should please you greatly even if you do have some doubts as to their ability.

Mercury is retrograde in your sign. This ought not be seen as a negative energy as it could bring with it the opportunity to refine plans. Several signals suggest your career will receive boosts with particular attention given to something you worked on for much of last year and the first quarter of 2016 and which is now viewed as valuable.

Rewards are possible.

Mercury is retrograde: perhaps marking an excellent time to review recent conversations what you said, and to whom and what you meant to say. The opportunity to straighten any records should arrive later this week. Before then, a series of aspects working in your favour indicate revised information flowing your way - possibly attributing to the need for that revision The New Moon isn’t until Friday and real progress is unlikely to be made until after this and, probably, after Jupiter stations next Monday (9th). Before then it seems you’ll be involved in considerable preparation and negotiation. Excited as you may be (especially if a move or travel is involved), it would be wise not to under-estimate the stress factor.

Friday’s (6th) New Moon is the annual one highlighting the apex of your solar chart: a marker for a fresh start, arriving at new goals and generally seeing what can be achieved before your birthday in a few months’time.This is followed, on Monday, by Jupiter’s arrival at a station.The two events are likely to result in you pushing the social boat out.

Not only is there a New Moon in another of the Earth signs this Friday (6th) but Jupiter stations in your sign on Monday (9th) just a day ahead ofVenus making one of the‘best in the book’aspects to that planet onTuesday.You could view all this as the spotlight shining on you and your affairs.

You might need to remind yourself (often) that you are playing for the long-term. Staying in tune with what makes you happy (peace, harmony and elegant surroundings) should help with any decision making. Positive aspects involving the Sun presently moving through another Venus ruled sign should result in opportunities.

Friday’s New Moon (6th) is the annual one in your opposite sign and yes, it’s around this time of year that forming new bonds ought not to be too hard. That likelihood is increased by Jupiter’s station on Monday and positive aspects from Venus (moving through Taurus) on Tuesday. So yes, presently there probably is all to play for.

The Sun makes one of its ‘best in the book’ aspects to your ruling planet early this week which should be a good thing. Jupiter though is still retrograde (along with Mercury) so, though you might have something to celebrate it might just be progress and not conclusion. A shift in priorities and how you invest time and money could also be apparent.

With five planets retrograde, the present pace might not be to your liking: and yet. It may be that though there isn’t the level of urgency you’d hoped for, that you are aware that energy is being put in to getting things done as well as is possible. True, you might still be irritated that you’re being asked to clear up a mess that’s decidedly not of your making. You might also know that if you can pull this off, the effect on your c.v. would be considerable and lead to reward.

At some level it might suit you to retire and consider your position. It may be that so much has been going on that you haven’t given thought as to what you would like to do when the present phase is concluded. With five planets retrograde this could be the right time to think about options and, perhaps, discuss training and courses.

One of your ruling planets (Jupiter) makes good aspect with the Sun early this week: traditionally seen as a day of promise. Clearly there can’t be any guarantees but it does appear that an easing of restrictions will occur at some level. Jupiter’s movements are barely perceptible presently (it stations early next week): the net effect of that being that you could feel its benefic powers for several days.

Towing and trailers are not one of the most glamorous subjects when it comes to motoring and for this reason have not been topical over the last number of years. ŠKODA, however, consider themselves one of the most practical and functional car brands on the market and takes the subject very seriously. ŠKODA have highlighted that 22% (1,375) of their retail customers fitted genuine ŠKODA towing systems (tow bar & electrical

harness kit) to their vehicles last year.

According to ŠKODA, they are seeing an increasing number of customers requesting towing systems for leisure purposes such as boating, caravanning and equine activity as well as business and agricultural functions. ŠKODA towing systems start from €499 and include safety and functional benefits such as Electronic Trailer Stability Assist which works through the vehicles ABS and

ESP systems to maintain vehicle control when the trailer begins to wallow and destabilise the trailer and the vehicle itself. Engines have to work harder when towing a trailer, therefore the vehicle cooling strategy is altered to account for heavier loads upon the engine. The system also offers simple, yet clever features like trailer bulb monitoring, parking sensor deactivation, advanced park assist features and even an anti-theft device that

triggers the vehicles alarm if an unauthorised attempt is made to disconnect the trailer from the vehicle.

Speaking about ŠKODA’s towing and trailer offering, Raymond Leddy, Head of Marketing at ŠKODA Ireland, said, “ŠKODA offers an excellent range of vehicles suitable for towing.

The most suitable are our 4x4 variants of the Octavia, Yeti and Superb that offer up to 25% increased towing capacity compared to standard 4x2 versions.”

Leddy added, “Legislation around trailer standards and towing licenses and testing has changed since October 2012, with many people uncertain of the regulation. In the main a standard category B licence does not entitle the holder with a standard large 4x4 commercial or SUV to tow a horsebox or livestock trailer because the combined maximum weight exceeds 3,500kg. In this case a test is required to acquire a BE licence. A ŠKODA Superb

Combi 4x4 on the other hand can legally tow a standard 900kg horsebox and two 500kg horses on a standard B licence.” ŠKODA are set to increase their towing and 4x4 range even further when they launch a larger SUV in early 2017. A hint of what this new car’s design will look like was seen at this year’s Geneva Motorshow when ŠKODA unveiled their Vision-S concept vehicle.
