@BrightonNick
BRIGHTON > Solutions to Madeira Terraces’ problems from Nick Mosley, Managing Director of Brighton & Hove Food and Drink Festival
T
he longneglected Madeira Terraces continue to make headlines, reflective of decades of under investment and lack of vision for this much celebrated jewel in the crown of our seafront – or historical white elephant, depending how you look at it. After years of stalling whilst the council mulled over a solution and attempted to achieve heritage funding, it’s now out there for businesses to find a solution. Successive administrations have quietly brushed the issue of seafront maintenance into the long grass, so it’s only now when we hit crisis point that the beads of sweat are forming. Councillor Morgan’s plea for ideas and private investment really does suggest the Madeira Terraces are sat at the proverbial last chance saloon. A number of concepts have been thrown into the mix by businesses on Madeira Drive and architects in the city. Some are pieinthesky fantasies, whilst others warrant some serious consideration.
“ The most obvious way to generate
income is a new housing development ” In terms of maintaining the actual structure, it would be foolhardy to think that the integrity of the split tier promenade will be maintained in anything other than a token manner with any future development. It no longer fulfils a social purpose, other than for skateboarders and street drinkers to congregate. The most obvious way for the Madeira Terraces space to generate income is with a major new housing development – a prime spot on Brighton beach would be worth a fortune. Yes, these properties would be gentrified (I’m sure many would be LATEST TV | VIRGIN MEDIA 159 | FREEVIEW CHANNEL 7
second homes) but what they will generate is money, and that’s exactly what Madeira Drive needs right now. Retail and leisure experiences are absolutely key. The important thing is to create a complementary offering to that which already exists within the city, rather than a competing offering that would shift consumer footfall from existing areas. And it would have to be a balance of multiples and independents; the former no doubt subsidising to some degree the latter. Existing traders on Madeira Drive suggest a strong creative offering in terms of artist’s studios. As the current ‘Artist Quarter’ between the piers is now somewhat diluted, this sounds like a positive way to create footfall, if not generating great amounts of rental income. As someone who has worked in the tourism and food and drink sectors in the city for well over a decade, I can see lots of opportunity for noncompetitive commercial activity. I currently know of numerous brewers and distillers looking to get property in the city for shared production and retail facilities. The English wine industry certainly deserves a home to showcase both its provenance and production, so Brighton sitting pretty much in the middle of it all would be an obvious choice for a national visitor centre. There is a distinct lack of quality outdoor event space in the city. New Road is now too full of cafés and bars to accommodate events; Jubilee Square is dark, dismal and overpriced. So as Madeira Drive is already home to major events that generate revenue for both the city council and businesses then perhaps a flexible, multipurpose indooroutdoor event and expo space could be an option to support both local events and festivals whilst also allowing a revenue stream for inbound events. Of course, the most obvious use for the upper promenade of the Madeira Terraces would be going back to the monorail scheme that has been mooted umpteen times in the past. Though now as we look to the future and the development of Black Rock into a new conference and arena space, perhaps the reappropriation of the structure for rapid transit could be the perfect solution. I don’t think anyone has actually convincingly modelled how Brighton’s existing transport infrastructure would be anywhere close to being able to move thousands of people to Brighton station or park and ride facilities outside of the city. Unfortunately, I suspect that this saga is far from over, but I guess we should all take heed that we don’t want another West Pier on our hands. LATEST HOMES | 5

I A
s I get older, I try to retain a positive attitude towards new things as I find that too many older people dismiss new innovations out of hand. Take, for example, the new five pound note. Working with the public, as I do from time to time on The Pier, I've lost count of the miserable old people who moan on and on about the new fiver. One man called it an 'abomination' and another lady, cited it as 'dreadful'. I think these people need to get their priorities right. Terrorism is an abomination, suffering in warntorn countries is dreadful, for example. I think in the grand scheme of things, I can just about cope with the introduction of a new bank note.
“ I often end up cooking for six giant children ” Last Friday The Big Son and his flatmate, who has enough psychotic traits to almost qualify as a family member, came round for dinner. This happens a lot since The Big Daughter moved back in and instead of cooking for two, I often end up cooking for six giant children. Anyway, The Big Son and, let's call him The Little Son, live in a prestigious Square on Hove seafront. I am sure its prestige has plummeted somewhat since Big and Little Son moved in, but, whatever.... Anyway, The Little Son was complaining about the fact the Old Guard in the Square were very resistant to the introduction of new communal rubbish bins in the area. Apparently they'd been cited as 'ugly abominations', but not, as The Little Son pointed out, quite as ugly as a pavement full of split binliners, ripped apart by feasting seagulls. I totally agree that communal bins are the way forward and also fail to see how a communal bin can be more unsightly than one of those gasguzzling, polluting 4 by 4's favoured by the very same hoi polloi who are complaining about the ugliness of the communal bins. Bah, I'm glad I've got that off my chest. LATEST TV | VIRGIN MEDIA 159 | FREEVIEW CHANNEL 7
did promise the auction results after last week’s rant, but due to timings this will have to wait till next week. In the meantime I have taken a picture of the inside of my shop, which gets more full every week, with this one being no exception. As some of you know, I am the guardian of the photographic archive of the local daily newspaper The Argus.
“ Due to popular demand I am
holding a twoday sale and exhibition at the Grand Hotel ” Now I have probably 400,000 photographs and millions of negatives dating from 19291992 and last month I held a sale of original photos at The Grand Hotel which was covered by Latest TV and the BBC. During a five hour period, over 500 people visited... so due to popular demand I am holding a twoday sale and exhibition at the Grand Hotel again on Friday 9th (19pm) and Saturday 10th (106pm) June. All are welcome to come along and have an opportunity to buy all sorts of photos, from celebrities, events, and people taken in Brighton and Hove and surrounding areas. Now the ‘geek’ title of this column comes about as it's an event that is going to be as much about people's interest in local history as other exhibitors’. It will include the following: The Keep (Brighton, Hove and East Sussex Records facility) Step Back in Time (Robert Jeeves, the postcard man) The Dump Man (Films and photos of lost tunnels caves and other stuff in Sussex) Kevin Newman (Local Author and Tour Guide) The list will be bigger but going back to the ‘geek’ reference, there is a fab Facebook site called Brighton Past which has just under 30,000 followers which is my ultimate proof that I am not the only local history nut as it seems to be almost the norm. Anyway, please come along, and if you need any further info please email me at Brightonandhovestuff@gmail.com

C
an you imagine a gym that’s run on people power? The UK’s first sustainable gym business Ecogym, whose newest site is based in St James’ Street, is exactly that. The energy that’s created as members work out is harnessed by their SportsArt cardio equipment and used to offset the gym’s energy consumption. Not only that but they are able to track individual contribution via an app and reward members with up to a 20 per cent reduction in fees meaning that the harder you work, the less you pay!
“ The energy that’s created as
members work out is harnessed ”
Paul Crane, owner explains: “This benefits our members threefold. They’re helping the environment, they’re incentivised to work harder and as a result improve their health. This innovative move towards sustainable fitness recently caught the eye of retail entrepreneur Theo Paphitis who selected Ecogym as one of his Small Business Sunday winners. To celebrate the opening of the Brighton site and mark World Environment Day on June 5th, Ecogym will be holding an open LATEST TV | VIRGIN MEDIA 159 | FREEVIEW CHANNEL 7
weekend in both Brighton and their beach front facility in Lancing on June 34, where people will be welcome to enjoy a workout in either gym, meet the personal training team, chat to existing members and find out more about Paul and business partner Andy Little’s efforts to reduce the impact their gyms have on the environment. Donations will be collected across the weekend for the Rockinghorse appeal. As well as their energysaving exploits, the gyms have a friendly and knowledgeable team of personal trainers well equipped to help you achieve your fitness goals and a varied schedule of group exercise classes including yoga, HIIT, boxing and kettlebells, all of which which are free for members to attend.

DESERT ISLAND LIFT > Disability charity The Oyster Project form first Community Partnership following a generous donation from Oakley Property
T
he Oyster Project have recently teamed up with Oakley Property to form their first Community Partnership, following a donation from the Lewes and Brighton based Property Agents. The awardwinning UK disability charity will be working with Oakley Property throughout the year to promote each other in a Community Partnership, which will help to raise the profile of fundraising events. Based in Lewes, in the atmospheric Westgate Chapel, The Oyster Project encourages volunteering in the community. The project engages groups of disabled, elderly and young people in creative and meaningful ways through drama, dance, film and radio. The charity also offers practical help in the form of their Crises Food Aid work. Unusually, the partnership was agreed following a Desert Island Disks invite. Soraya Cotwal, Director at Radio Lewes and volunteer and fundraiser for The Oyster Project invited long term friend and Executive Director of Oakley Property Chris Oakley to contribute to her community radio show. Upon learning more about the charity, Chris was so impressed that he made a generous donation to support the annual running costs of The Oyster Project. David Beaken, Director at Oakley Property’s Lewes branch commented, “Both Chris and I are very aware that as a local
business it is the community that helps us thrive. We have been looking for opportunities to give back to Lewes and have known about The Oyster Project for some time. The work that Soraya and her team do there is fantastic. I am really excited to have grown our working relationship, as I’m a local musician so The Oyster Project is close to my heart. I am already debating in my head what my Desert Island Disks will be.”
“ The project engages groups of
disabled, elderly and young people in creative and meaningful ways ”
Soraya Cotwal mentions that, “We are delighted to be working with Oakley on our first Community Partnership, which will allow us both to raise our respective profiles of the work we do separately and together. Oakley's generous donation to The Oyster Project will help in allowing the vital and important work we do to continue and for the charity to thrive in what is a challenging time for organisations likes ours. We look forward to creating and developing this exciting Community Partnership with Oakley in the coming year.” oysterproject.org.uk www.oakleyproperty.com

SPRUCE SENSATION > How to make your property more attractive to buyers for under £500
A
few quick and simple improvements to a property can do wonders in making it more appealing to prospective buyers and achieving the best possible price when you come to sell. Drawing on more than 30 years’ experience of connecting people with property, local property specialist Leaders offers some practical tips to sellers.
“ Clean your home throughout, from carpets and skirting boards to windows and kitchen units ” Kevin Shaw, national sales director at Leaders, says: “At Leaders, we encourage our sellers to enhance their properties wherever possible to help them attract the best choice of buyers and achieve a quick sale at the best possible price. By following the simple steps below you can make your property significantly more attractive to buyers, all for less than £500.” Pick up a paintbrush Perhaps the simplest job – but still one of the most effective – is to provide a fresh lick of paint, either in certain rooms or throughout the property if needed. This is relatively cheap if you can do it yourself but guarantees a clean, fresh impression and can make a property more desirable to prospective buyers. Aim for neutral colours to appeal to most tastes. Finish those DIY jobs Buyers are put off by properties that they perceive need work doing. Make sure any of those maintenance jobs you’ve been putting off have been done before people come to view – fix that fence, fill that crack in the wall, put that door handle back on. A property that appears neglected is a major turn off for buyers. LATEST TV | VIRGIN MEDIA 159 | FREEVIEW CHANNEL 7
Revamp the bathroom and kitchen You don’t want to spend a lot of money on a home you’re leaving but there are small steps you can take to revamp your kitchen and bathroom to bring it up to buyers’ expectations. Scraping out and renewing the grouting between tiles plus resealing around baths and sinks can give your kitchen and bathroom a new lease of life and create a cleaner, crisper finish. Have a good clean Clean your home throughout, from carpets and skirting boards to windows and kitchen units. Make sure it smells as clean as it looks. If the carpets are badly worn or stained, it’s worth investing in new carpet rather than risk deterring buyers. Presentation There’s only so much you can remove from view when you still live there: you still need clothes, appliances, towels and furniture! It is fine for your home to look lived in as long as it’s tidy! Make that bed, hang the towels up, put that paperwork in a drawer. Do a test viewing Ask a friend, preferably a tidy one, to walk around your home and tell you what leaps out at them as untidy or offputting. It’s difficult to be objective about your own home and a fresh pair of eyes can be invaluable. Look at the outside Never underestimate the power of first impressions. Taking the time to repaint the front door, tidy up the front garden, clean the driveway or hang a basket of flowers can be all it takes to get that allimportant kerb appeal. Getting your property as presentable as you can for viewing always pays dividends. Our experienced staff will be happy to help, with advice tailored specifically to your home and budget.

KHALIL’S TENANT REWARD SCHEME
– A GREAT DEAL
FOR BOTH
TENANTS AND
LANDLORDS Everybody wins
A
t Khalil’s we believe that landlords deserve good tenants and good returns on their investment. But we also believe that good tenants deserve to be rewarded. Under our Rent Guarantee Scheme we guarantee landlords rent every single month, regardless of whether their property is occupied or not. Under our Tenant Reward Scheme we offer cleaning and gardening services to tenants, and we give them back 10% from the first month’s rent, paid at the end of the tenancy if they are not late in paying it each month. That’s a great deal for both. And here’s why we believe that a great deal for tenants is always a great deal for landlords. Khalil’s Tenant Reward Scheme – a great deal for landlords If you are letting an HMO, House in Multiple Occupation, you will be well aware of the problems you can face with rent arrears, transferring utility bills and wear and tear to your property. Let us run the risk for you and guarantee your rent every single month. We also can guarantee that you receive the property back in the same condition we received it in, and that there will not be any administrative burdens you have to face every time the tenancy changes. What’s more our Tenant Reward Scheme ensures your rental property is well cared for and that tenants are encouraged to act responsibly. Let me tell you about it. Our scheme costs each tenant £20 a month to join. They must take out tenant liability insurance to signal their good intentions. We then include utility bills (including broadband) in their rent to avoid any check out headaches, and offer them fortnightly cleaning and gardening services if applicable to ensure your property is well looked after. Of course, we do all the managing of your property for you, so you can relax knowing it is in a safe pair of hands. Khalil’s Tenant Reward Scheme – a great deal for tenants Our scheme is great news for tenants too. They receive a cash back from their rent at the end of their tenancy, pay less fees, and receive more services to make their life easier and their home easier to manage. As the property is let to them on a bills inclusive basis they save time and the hassle of collecting the money each quarter to pay 22 | LATEST HOMES
for their utilities. The cleaning and gardening service we offer means their home is more comfortable and easier to maintain. The cost of letting is also reduced. We take a lower security deposit (one month rent as a deposit), and we guarantee that this will be returned as long as there is no damage to the property. We also waive check out fees (typically £40 per person), tenancy referencing fees (typically £25 per person), and we make a 10% reduction on any other administrative fees. As long as the rent has been paid on time we reward tenants with 10% cash back from the first month rent, paid at the end of their tenancy. And that is a truly great deal for truly great tenants. A great deal for landlords and tenants At Khalil’s our Rent Guarantee Scheme offers landlords stressfree and voidfree renting, and our Tenant Reward Scheme offers tenants an easier and cheaper way to rent. It’s the good life for all – drop by and find out more about how it can work for you.
