AWhitwalkdown bythecanallocks THE village of Whittle-le-Woods lies on the A6, about three miles north of Chorley. The pretty village takes its name from ‘White Hill’ with le Woods being added at a later date, giving the meaning ‘A White Hill in the Woods’. Whittle boasts a host of modern and traditional homes ranging from stone built cottages to executive detached houses. It is well served with excellent transport links, being just a stone’s throw away from both the M6 and M61 junctions, making it a popular residential area for commuters. There is also good, regular public transport to Chorley and Preston. Once a pretty settlement of stone cottages, the village is now made up of two distinct areas. The older part of the village, which is found on the old coach road running through Waterhouse Green to Brindle. The more modern part of this village is found on the A6 near to where St John’s church is found. Properties in the village range in price from £65,000 for a one bedroom flat to detached homes reaching upwards of £600,000. The village also boasts a number of fine dining restaurants as well as several local pubs. A feature of the area is the canals, many of which have been filled in to create pleasant footpaths and open space. The area still has seven locks within a half-mile stretch of water, making a picturesque backdrop for walkers and nature lovers. There are a number of places to eat, ranging from fine dining restaurants to a selection of village pubs. Leisure facilities include Shaw Hill Golf Club, off the A6, which centres around an impressive Georgian mansion and boasts an 18-hole golf

course and award winning restaurant. In addition to the 192-acre undulating course the site also has spa, hotel and conference facilities. The Pines Hotel, in Preston Road, also boasts hotel and conference facilities and holds regular cabaret nights. The community hall holds a number of social and ﬁtness groups, including mother and baby groups, yoga and Age Concern social. Prayer groups and drama groups also meet regularly in the St John’s Church Parish Rooms. Perhaps the most notable landmark in the village is the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints – the largest Mormon temple in the British Isles, which can be seen from both the village and the motorway. Built in 1998 the Preston Temple has a modern single spire built ﬁnished with Olympia white granite from Sardinia. The temple serves Latterday Saints from the midlands and northern parts of England and the British Isles.

Oystonsreportsincreasedsalesand saysstaffare‘runofftheirfeet’ OystOns Preston office is reporting increased sales as buyer confidence looks up. the staff at Oystons Preston are “run off their feet” as sales pick up to their best in over a year. “We are delighted to see that buyers are returning,” said Oystons’ managing director Kevin Allitt. “the increase seems to be in all areas and at all prices. Amanda Allit, Preston manager of Oystons, added: “Unlike other estate agents who are often shut at weekends and closed at 5pm, we offer a seven-days-aweek service with weekday opening until 7pm. “We think it is important to be open at times that suit our clients in out-of-office hours. “the only difficulty at the moment is the shortage of properties coming up for sale. “If you are thinking of selling your home or are dissatisfied with your present estate agent please call us now on Preston 555551 for your free market appraisal. “It makes it all worthwhile” “All our staff love being estate agents,” added Amanda. “As anyone buying or selling their home knows it can be a very stressful time, but there is nothing better than when a buyer comes to our office to pick up keys for their new home. “It’s nice to know we have helped them realise their dreams. “We all pride ourselves on giving the best customer service possible and its lovely to get that recognised at times.” l 01772 45545521 Hough Lane Leyland PR25 2sB www. oystons.com. l 01772 5555516 Winckley street Preston PR1 2AA www. oystons.com.

In fact there are more buy to let mortgages available than at any time since the summer of 2008,” said Hayley. “The yields from rented properties have significantly increased and there are some very keenly priced properties available making buy to let increasingly attractive.” “Loan to value of 80% is now available through some lenders allowing many first time investors to come back into the market.” First Time Buyers Boost

Property Shortgage

First time buyers struggling to find a deposit to buy their first home have been given a welcome boost by the 5% vendor deposit paid scheme.

If you are thinking of selling your home or are dissatisfied with your present estate agent Oystons urgently need more homes for sale in all areas and at all prices for waiting buyers.

Hayley added, “this means that the first time buyer only needs to find a 5% deposit and the vendor pays 5%. It is proving really popular and we have several properties available on this scheme.”

The Homes under the Hammer presenter and author offers guidance on property issues

Buyingabroad–thinkfirst I

f you’re thinking of buying a foreign property, don’t leave your brain at home when you step on the plane. Buying overseas can be a way of enjoying a holiday home as well as making a nifty investment – but you must research thoroughly and don’t let the sun, sea and sangria go to your head.

Avoid the most common mistakes made by Brits buying abroad: 1. Not using an independent lawyer Number one on the list! Your lawyer is important in the buying process and it is vital to get one on YOUR side. There are UK based lawyers who specialize in foreign property transactions and will speak the lingo (try www. internationalpropertylaw.com). They must be completely independent from the developer or agent that is selling the property. Don’t be pushed in to appointing the ‘chosen’ lawyer of the developer or agent. Many people make the mistake of thinking a notary (who you may ALSO have to pay) is a substitute for a lawyer. Notaries work for the government and will oversee the transaction to ensure that it’s done properly - but won’t offer advice or warn you about unfair clauses in the contract. A lawyer, will look after your interests and do all the necessary checks like a solicitor acting for you on a UK purchase. It will provide you with legally binding security should things go wrong. 2. Signing contracts too early You may be pressured to sign the ‘Preliminary Contract’ – particularly if you buy a new build property from a developer. Signing it legally commits you to buying the property. Don’t confuse the Preliminary Contract with the Reservation Agreement. This is something you sign when you put your name against a property. By signing a Reservation Agreement, the seller agrees to take the property off the market. Usually you pay a holding deposit at the same time (typically around £2,000). Very often this isn’t refundable if you change your mind. The Preliminary Contract must be thoroughly checked by your independent lawyer. Once you sign, you are committed to buy and must be sure you can afford the property. You may pay up to 40% of the purchase price at this time.

4. Buying a house you don’t own

Sometimes it hard to know who the actual seller is because agents and third parties are involved. Some unsuspecting Brits have paid for a property they ultimately don’t own. Get your lawyer to check through the paperwork and contract before you sign. If the person who’s selling doesn’t own the property, make sure you understand why. Also make sure that the proper planning permission is in place – particularly if you are buying a new build. In many countries, debts are attached to the property, not the owner so check to make sure you don’t buy any nasty surprises along with the house. 5. Too risky If you are buying as an investment, balance the amount of risk you are willing to take with the potential returns. Don’t be seduced by promises of huge increases in value or rental income without doing the research and taking a measured view. Many overseas property investments are in undeveloped places and it may take many years for returns to materialize. Breach of Contract If your property is finished later than expected - then you may be entitled to compensation. However, you will have to wait until the property is finished to make a claim. Clauses in your contract surrounding late completion can be quite vague so make sure you understand the implications. On the other hand, if you don’t complete the purchase once the property is ready, you could be in breach of contract and the developer may pursue you. Guarantees If the developer goes bankrupt before completing your property you need to know that someone else will finish the work. In some cases, a bank will have accepted joint liability with the developer and has a responsibility to complete the project. Some guarantees say that the developer will refund your money if they are unable to complete the project. Get your lawyer to check this. Also check what guarantees the developer offers on his work post completion.

3. Unrealistic budgeting

Dodgy developers

Buying a property abroad has lots of additional costs, which can be easily overlooked. There are fees for agents, lawyers and notaries, purchase taxes and VAT. Check what extra costs apply in the country you are buying in – you may have to cough up an extra 20% on top of the property price. As in the UK, if you are renovating, work can end up being more expensive than ﬁrst thought. If you are taking out a mortgage on the property, remember that interest rates can go up. On that note – if a mortgage is mentioned, don’t assume you will get it – lending criteria in other countries can be more restrictive than in the UK. Be aware that exchange rates can affect the cost of the property and mortgage.

The best way to ﬁnd out if a developer is a good one or not is to ask for client testimonials and speak to satisﬁed buyers. Research the track record of the company and if possible get a written statement of the service they offer. Between this and the property contract, you should know what the developer will and won’t do when they hand over the property. Developers and agents who are members of the AIPP (the Association of International Property Professionals) www.aipp.org.uk, comply with a professional code of conduct. Check out the AIPP website for loads of information, and also their new bond- a way of paying which can protect any payments you make.

Letsunshineinwithaseasidespecial Coastaldecorneversailsoutoffashion,butthisyearthetide’sturned.GabrielleFaGanexploresthenewtakeon‘seaside’style Just the word ‘seaside’ summons up pleasing thoughts of blue skies, sandy beaches and relaxed living. small wonder then that coastal style, with its crisp blue and white colour scheme teamed with memoryevoking accessories from driftwood to sailing prints, is an enduring favourite for rooms. But every look needs refreshing or it will become as limp as last year’s seaweed, and this year coastal has changed tack and sailed upmarket. More understated and chic, it conjures the look of a luxury seaside sanctuary rather than a beach hut. that doesn’t put it out of reach if you’re on a budget, it just means having a light hand on the decor tiller and opting instead to invest in a scheme which will last all year, not just a summer. “For a modern, stylish interpretation of this classic theme, I’d advise making only subtle additions to a room rather than giving it a complete overhaul,” says Marianne Richards, style advisor for Homesense. “this creates a more sophisticated effect, and means it will have greater longevity.”

blue stripes and spots on a winged armchair, Deauville, £1,550, has a quirky take on the look. TOP DECK BUYS: Laura Ashley captures coastal chic with a Cambridge chair, in a bold Carter stripe fabric in Marina Blue, £850, and a seahorse cushion, £25.

STYLE AHOY!

BESIDE THE SEASIDE: Main picture, Cambridge Chair in Carter Stripe, £850; Devon Side Table, £250; Alston Frosted Ceiling Pendant, £70 and Seahorse Cushion, £25, Laura Ashley. Above, from left, Sailing Sketch Roller Blind, from £119, DIGETEXHome.com; Seaside Cushion, £28, John Lewis; Lighthouse Cushion, £30, DigetexHOME.com look, wallpaper is a smart choice. A blue and white stripe pattern – think deckchairs and awnings – is perfect, and using a vertical stripe will give the illusion of more height. Laura Ashley has a Lille stripe paper, from £16 a roll, while Ralph Lauren Home has a horizontal stripe paper, spalding stripe, £29 for a 10m roll. Add summery blue shades to walls, such as a light Cornish Cloud blue or a deep Blue Anchor, both £24.95 for 2.5l in the Albany traditions range, from Brewers. TOP DECK BUYS: the sound of

the sea is all that’s missing from the brilliantly evocative coastal scene wall murals and blinds at Digetex, which specialises in digitally printed homeware. Murals and blinds, some in the style of seaside sketches, start from £119, and cushions from £30.

CABIN FEVER

Nautical but nice is the essence of ‘seaside’ rooms, which should be comfortable, welcoming and have a fresh ‘spick and span’ feel. “there’s universal appeal about beach house interiors as they embody a lifestyle that’s all about

kicking back, living with nature, and losing the stresses and strains of city life,” says Debbie McKeegan, founder of Digetex. “the secret to achieving beach style is to take cues from nature, and accent in colours reminiscent of the sea. the current mood is for sun-bleached and eclectic with a splash of vintage style.” John Lewis offers plenty for home seafarers including a Padstow coastal stripe sofa, £1,300, a wooden-mast style Adriana ﬂoor lamp, £170, and a model schooner, £35. Designer sarah Bonallo’s mixed

Beachcombing during leisurely strolls on the shore is part of the pleasure of a seaside break, but a trawl around high street stores or surfing online companies, which have plenty of goodies on offer, can be just as rewarding. “Introduce natural textures and materials such as driftwood and statement shells by hanging them symmetrically on a wall or creating a feature area around a fireplace, or on a console table,” suggests Richards. take a fast track by simply accessorising with cushions from John Lewis which feature seaside themes and have a painted effect that makes them resemble small works of art. TOP DECK BUYS: Pop on some sea-effect music, Calming seas by ultimate Natural sounds, £9.99 from Amazon, light a Plage (Beach) scented candle, £22.50, and Pebbleshaped candles, £8 each, both from Bougies La Francaise, and float away in your own relaxing haven.
