LEADING north west property auctioneers Sutton Kersh is celebrating a bumper number of lots in its first auction of the year – with interest higher than it has been for a long time. Sutton Kersh will offer 64 properties at their auction on February 17 at the city centre Marriott Hotel in Queen’s Square. Pre-auction activity, they say, is high with eight properties sold prior to it, and more offers on other properties being considered. The auction proceedings will begin with bidding for Woolton Wood Lodge; a substantial Grade II listed building located on High Street in Woolton. Pre-auction interest has been high for the two-bedroom property that will be offered with vacant possession and carries a guide price of £165,000+. A portfolio comprising 12 properties in a popular student area in Wavertree will also go under the hammer. With high tenant demand for rental property in the City and a shortage of stock, the properties that include 10 Southdale Road, 92 Lawrence Road, 100 Grosvenor Road and 10 Albert Grove, all to be offered with vacant possession, are expected to generate a competitive bidding war among investors. Another property attracting much interest is a two bedroom third floor apartment in Waterloo Quay. Similar properties in this popular City Centre waterfront development have been sold by private treaty for substantially more and its rental potential is strong. The dwelling is suitable for immediate occupation, benefits from river views and has a guide price of £100,000+. Cathy Holt, auction manageress at Sutton Kersh says: “Pre-auction activity is the highest we have experienced for a long time. “There has been a lot of positive news surrounding the Liverpool property market over recent weeks and this has filtered confidence back into the investor market. “Vacant residential properties are proving to be particularly attractive as the sales market shows signs of recovery and the local rental market continues to perform strongly.”
PROPERTY specialist Move ● with Us, which works with hundreds of independent,
accredited estate agents across the country, has reported a year on year increase in house sales in January of 27%. The firm claims that, in addition to actual sales, general interest in property is also increasing as traffic to their website in January is up 16% from Nov and 40% from December. Robin King, Move with Us director, says: “It is terrific to be able to report an encouraging

WHEN Wendy Roberts was appointed sales manager for New City Vision homes at their Ellergreen development, it turned into ‘friends reunited’. Liverpudlian Wendy was joining five former colleagues. She used to work with managing director Don Craven, project director Alan Wilson, consultant Graham Bellis, PA Margaret Jones and mechanical handler driver Stephen Foster. Craven says: “This is a very exciting time for Wendy to be joining us at Ellergreen – we have sold all our homes in phase one and will this week
be releasing new homes in phase two. “I know from working with Wendy in the past that she has a wealth of experience in delivering first class homes to customers, and with the phase one show homes now being released for sale as well, there couldn’t be a better time to choose from one of our quality homes at affordable prices.” Ellergreen is a development near to the centre of Liverpool offering beautifully designed two, three and four bedroomed homes, all with unique layouts and offering features like en-suites, kitchen/dining and private gardens. Prices start at just £91,000 on the HomeBuy Direct scheme. There is a choice of mews, semi-detached and detached homes just five miles from the centre of Liverpool yet within easy reach of local parks and major routes. There are a limited number of new homes in phase two available on the government-backed HomeBuy Direct shared equity scheme. This allows home buyers to own 100% of the property yet pay just 70% of the asking price now. The remaining balance is provided in the form of an equity loan jointly funded by New City Vision and the government. The equity loan is repayable over 25 years or when the property is sold and there is no interest payable for the first five years. For more information, call into the Ellergreen marketing suite opposite St Teresa’s Church on Utting Avenue East, Liverpool, L11 5AB. The suite is open 10am-5.30pm Thursday to Monday.

Elegant home is full of the wow factor by JANET TANSLEY
S
TUNNING, stylish and sophisticated. Not one of these adjectives describe this house for sale in Cheshire Avenue, Liverpool 10. They ALL do – and many more besides. It’s a modern, beautiful home with all the comforts any buyer would traditionally wish for. And all for the surprising price of £324,950. From the ultra cool kitchen, to the impressive conservatory or the top notch security system, you’d feel like a celebrity living here. From the moment you approach this property you are aware it’s something different. A hallway intercom with LCD screen (camera on front gate) means any arrival will always be anticipated, before you step into the hallway with a solid wooden floor. But the wow factors don’t end there. Downstairs is a shower room/wc and a two person steam cabin (electric), with tiled walls, a chrome heated towel rail, tiled floor, low level wc and glass bowl wash hand-basin. The utility room also has solid wood flooring and is plumbed for a washing machine. A clean and crisp tiled floor greets people in the kitchen, along with a good range of wall, base and drawer units incorporating a stainless steel sink unit and granite worktops. There is an integrated oven, hob and hood above, together with an integrated dishwasher, double glazed window, spot lights and cosy underfloor heating so you can walk in bare-footed for breakfast in the morning. The dining room is also tiled with underfloor heating for a mediterranean feel, and leads through double glazed doors into the conservatory which, again, has underfloor heating beneath a solid wooden floor. The lounge continues with the same wooden flooring, and has a wall mounted gas feature fire and also leads into the

Give home a sweet treat
My First
HOME
Simon Greening Where was the family home you grew up in and what was it like? I was lucky to grow up in a detached house with a big garden in Formby with my mum, dad and sister, in a house we shared with my gran; she lived downstairs and we were on the first floor. What is your clearest memory of the house? My sister really drew the short straw (just by being younger than me) by having the smallest bedroom I have ever seen. I also remember my gran never ever threw anything away and we built an extension that never got warm no matter how many heaters you threw at it.
Sorbet colours are the trend to watch this spring, so this week we are showcasing some homeware which will add a sweet touch to your rooms.

Where was the first house you bought yourself and what did it cost? When I moved back to Liverpool about four years ago I decided to rent somewhere in the city centre first before buying. The trouble is the economy decided not to play ball and so I have continued to rent since then but, hopefully, in the next 12 months I will buy my first house. What made you want to rent it? There were a number of reasons why I decided to rent the flat I did; it was in a great location and was within walking distance from town. It also had a parking space, all the rooms were a good size and it had a balcony to capitalise on the three days of summer we usually get in Liverpool! What will be the most important features you look for when buying a house? As I will be a first-time buyer the most important thing will be price. A nice garden would be a big plus as I would love to have a dog. I have always found when looking for places to rent you know the second you walk in somewhere if you can turn it into a home.

Are you a DIY trier or do you leave it to the experts? Not a chance! Leave it to the experts every time. I am not a particularly practical person. That tiny small boxroom of a bedroom of my sister I mentioned took me about a week just to paint. What's the one thing you love most about your current flat? The thing I love most about my temporary home is that it has not been demolished. I was living in the apartment block that was damaged by a crane falling on it in July 2009. I was in at the time and it was one of the scariest things that has ever happened to me. Hopefully that is all the housing bad luck I am due in my lifetime!

● Condensation is a problem at this time of year and it can damage your decor. It happens when warm air inside the room meets the cold windowpane and forms droplets of water. With double and secondary glazing, condensation can get between the panes, which isn’t good for the window frames, especially if they’re made of wood. ● To help to protect wooden frames, wipe off the condensation every morning – from the glass and the frames – and open the windows. Even if you can only open them for a short time before going to work, this will clear the condensation quicker than not doing it. ● With wooden frames, keep an eye out for damaged and deteriorating paintwork. If you spot chipped, cracked or bubbling paint, sand and clean the area, apply a little wood filler to blend the bare and painted wood, sand and clean when dry, and paint over with quick-drying wood primer/undercoat and then topcoat. Keeping the paintwork in good condition will help to protect the frames from the moisture. ● Walls also get condensation on them, particularly in bay windows, in the kitchen, because of the steam generated by cooking, and in the bathroom, when you shower or bath. Having efficient extractor fans is important – if you don’t have any, get a qualified electrician to fit them in your kitchen and bathroom – and, again, open the windows whenever possible. ● Not ventilating a room that suffers from condensation can lead to mould on your walls, particularly behind curtains, beds, sofas, sideboards, etc. Scrub it off with a mould-cleaning liquid or spray and wait several weeks to see if the problem reoccurs. If the mould has marked the walls, give them a fresh coat of paint, but only if you’re sure you’ve cracked the cause of the problem.

ITH the latest figures from UCAS revealing a 2.5% increase in applicants for university places for the next academic year, concern is already mounting over student accommodation in the city. With Liverpool home to some of the top universities in the country, pressure is mounting on the already stretched housing stock. But what could be bad news is turning into good, with new accommodation being created along with investment opportunities. The combined student population for famous educational institutions like The University of Liverpool, John Moores University, Hope University and The University of Performing Arts currently stands at 53,000, almost 12% of the city's total population. And demand from this student population for housing is steadily rising, with the Knight Frank Student Report 2010 revealing that Liverpool has seen the highest growth in terms of higher education student accommodation along with Leeds and Bristol between the 2008/9 and 2009/10 academic years. But as Steven Worboys, MD of student accommodation investment experts Experience International, comments, there is a supply shortage. “Across the country there is a significant shortage of high-quality student accommodation and Liverpool is no different,” he says. “The surge in applicants for the 2011/12 academic year, especially from overseas students, who expect a high standard of accommodation is driving forward the student buy-to-let market, presenting investment opportunities which are low risk, hassle-free and high yielding.” A number of buildings located near the city centre are being refurbished into high specification, modern student housing units. One such project is Bold Street, the fourth residential development from one of the city’s leading student management companies with over 10 years' experience. Located in the heart of the City, only a few minutes walk to JMU and Liverpool Community College campuses and less than 400m from Lime Street station, Bold Street will comprise high specification fully modernised student pods with state of the art facilities including a fully equipped gymnasium.
CENTRAL ZONE: The kitchen and lounge areas of one of the student pods, complete with 52” flat screen TV, and, right , the bedroom. Internet connection is also standard All pods include a flat screen TV, wash basins as standard and internet connection. In addition there will be a media and computer room with printing facilities and a key fob security entry system. Communal areas will include lounges with 52" flat screen TVs, fully fitted kitchens with appliances and dining areas and modern bathrooms and shower. Ready for the start of the 2011/12 academic year, Bold Street offers 9.53% net annual yield with the management company guaranteeing the income in year 1. With a purchase price of £43,500, this student development is proving highly popular and is selling fast. ◆ For more information about investing in student accommodation or indeed purchasing a unit at Bold Street, contact Experience International on 0207 321 5858 or visit www.experience-international.com.
Eddisons all set for biggest North West sale yet
UNDER THE HAMMER: Birbeck Road
AUCTIONEER Eddisons is gearing up for its biggest North West sale yet on February 22. A total of 79 lots from across the region are listed at the firm’s first sale of 2011 – many of them from Merseyside. Andrew Brown of Eddisons says: “This includes investment opportunities, ground rents, property portfolios and development land. “The vast majority of stock is competitively priced, with a significant number of
instructions received from LPA receivers which are very much priced to sell and should generate plenty of interest from buyers looking for a bargain. “Guide prices for residential properties start at £18,000, while yields of 20% may be achievable on some commercial stock.” Lots in the Liverpool area are well represented and include a portfolio of five part-let residential properties on Quernmore Road, near to Kirkby town centre, which has a guide
price of £170,000 plus. The four three bedroom semi detached and one three bedroom detached houses have the potential to generate annual income of £30,000 when fully let, a return of more than 17.5%, says Eddisons. Meanwhile on Birbeck Road, also in Kirkby, a portfolio of six part let three bedroom semi-detached properties has a guide price of £230,000 plus. The portfolio currently generates annual income of
£30,000 and could produce in excess of £36,000 per annum when fully let, a return of over 15.5%. Eddisons is keen to make sure buyers are aware of the new venue for auctions in 2011. These will now be held at The Ferguson Suite, Premier Inn, Waters Reach, Trafford Park Manchester. ◆ The sale on February 22 starts at 12.30pm prompt. The full catalogue is online at www.eddisons.com

HEN looking for the right place to live it’s good to have options. The more available to you in terms of housing, education, shopping and leisure choices, the better. Southport certainly gives you plenty of choice in all those areas, offering a great balance of housing areas and housing types with a range of prices. You’ll find everything from huge Victorian town houses to modern estates and charming cottages, plus flats and apartments nearer the town centre. That’s not to mention a great blend of local and national shops in the centre, plus larger out-of-town retail outlets. Then there are more than 15 local primary schools and many more senior schools. And choice is certainly a good reason why so many people have chosen to make
MAJESTIC: Southport Pier
Southport their home. In fact, at the last census count, Southport was the 12th most populous settlement in North West England. Yet if that gives you the impression Southport is a frantic, crowded place, don’t worry. On weekdays and weekends the shops and promenade of this seaside town make for a pleasant way to relax and while away the hours, browsing bookstores, boutiques and Victorian arcades. Being a coastal resort it certainly faces an increase in visitors during the summer months, but the change in seasons just adds to its charm. The area is well served by public transport, with many bus routes and a railway station, with direct trains to Liverpool, Liverpool Airport and Manchester Airport. The main housing areas around the town centre are in Birkdale, Kew, Victoria
Park, Blowick, Churchtown, Hesketh Park and Marshside. There are also the nearby areas of Ainsdale to the south, Banks to the north and Scarisbrick to the east. Leisure-wise, Southport’s coastal dune landscape makes for a golfer’s paradise, with quality links courses such as Hesketh Golf Club and the world-famous Royal Birkdale, the site of many a British Open Championship. There are pleasant parks and gardens galore, including Victoria Park, where the annual Southport Flower Show is held, Hesketh Park, the beautiful Botanic Gardens, plus Princes Park and the many floral lawns along the promenade. While at the front there’s Southport Pier, the second longest seaside pleasure pier in Britain, fairground rides at New Pleasureland and Southport’s famous seaside gaming arcades, which tumble back from the Promenade down side streets laced with cafes and gift shops. These many side streets open out onto Lord Street, whose elegant Victorian canopied walkways are said to have inspired Napoleon when rebuilding central Paris. The Southport area is covered by the PR8 postcode to the south and PR9 to the north. Recent property sales in PR8 range from just under £100,000 for a flat, to just over £300,000 for a detached house plus a range of prices in between. Property in PR9 is more affordable, with a terraced house recently selling for £84,000 and a semi-detached for £100,000.

Gardening up on The Royal Horticultural Society is encouraging urbanites to make the most of their roof space. Hannah Stephenson reports
BLOOMING: Even the most limited roof space can be transformed into a beautiful garden, as one urban tower block demonstrates (left)
I
MAGINE being cooped up in an office all day and then returning to your urban home and walking out on to a rooftop which has been transformed into a tapestry of colour, texture and calm. Rooftop gardening can help combat climate change by lowering surrounding air temperatures, according to a recent RHS survey and, with this in mind, the organisation is encouraging urbanites to make the most out of their outdoor space and help the environment by growing plants. “Getting planting right in urban spaces, which can be very limited, can have a major effect in not only helping reduce urban temperatures but will also provide other environmental benefits,” says Tijana Blanusa, who undertook the RHS research. Other benefits of green-roof gardening include heat-insulation, water-absorption, providing a safe environment for wildlife and soaking up pollution. The RHS is showcasing two modern-style rooftop gardens designed by two rising stars, Hugo Bugg, RHS Young Designer of the Year 2010, and Melissa Jolly, winner of a BBC Gardeners’ World 2010 award, at the RHS London Plant and Design Show on February 15 and 16. Their designs are aspirational, but it’s not impossible to create your own roof garden, whether you just want a few pots or a raised bed or two, or a more elaborate green carpet, providing your structure is secure. The RHS offers the following advice: ● Before designing any addition to a property’s roof check if planning permission is required. ● How much weight the roof can take? Large containers full of compost and plants weigh a considerable amount. There will be strict weight restrictions on balconies suspended out from the building. ● Check if the roof is waterproof, using the services of a chartered structural engineer or a surveyor. You may have to modify roof supports if the structural survey shows that support is insufficient. ● Use an architect specialising in roof garden design for complex projects. ● Place heavy containers near load-bearing walls or over a load-bearing beam or joist as these can take more weight than unsupported areas.
3 ways to ... ● The main limitations of roof gardens and balconies are strong winds and sunshine. Take advantage of any existing protection, such as walls or fences, that provide shelter and shade. ● Use slatted or mesh screens that simply filter the wind, creating a micro-climate for the plants within. ● Containers will dry out rapidly in windy, hot weather so make sure they are a good width and depth. ● Choose non-porous materials (plastic, metal and fibreglass) rather than terracotta as they
reduce potential moisture-loss. ● Ensure the container is lightweight and has ample drainage holes in the base. ● Some companies, such as Green Tech Ltd, offer a range of lightweight soils and composts suitable for roof gardening. ● Use a layer of lightweight drainage material at the base of the container, such as polystyrene plant trays broken into ’crocks’. ● If weight is a consideration, fix the container down, so that it doesn’t blow over in strong winds.
● Install an irrigation system where cost effective (in larger areas), ensuring excess run-off flows to a drainpipe outlet. In smaller areas, hand water as it’s more accurate. ● Feed plants regularly. Controlled-release fertiliser in the compost is the easiest solution. ● Top-dress pots annually replacing the top few centimetres with fresh compost. ● Liquid feed any annual plants used in plantings from May to September for best results.
Best of the Bunch Helleborus WINTER can bring out the worst in the garden, especially in the shady spots where it all looks dull and dreary, unless you have some hellebores, upright evergreen flowering perennials whose subtle, nodding blooms bring a welcome interest to an otherwise gloomy outlook. From mid-winter to spring, H. orientalis, the Lenten rose, bears white or creamy green flowers that flush pink with age,
while its leathery, deep green leaves persist throughout the year. It’s ideally placed near the front of the shrub border as it only grows to around 45cm (18in) tall and wide and if you’re not careful it can be drowned under other more showy plants. The leaves provide good ground cover and flowers will last well in water. I personally like the white variety H. niger, the
Christmas rose (pictured), which flowers between January and March. Dig in plenty of well-rotted organic matter before planting, but be warned they won’t thrive in waterlogged soil. They will grow in either sun or shade and like lime or chalk. Interplant hellebores with spring-flowering bulbs or hardy cyclamen, or team them with epimediums and hardy geraniums in a border.
Look after your roses

Prune most varieties each year in late winter, although shrub and ground cover types can be left for two or three seasons before needing to be cut back. Feed them generously in early spring before growth starts and again after the first flush of flowers in early summer.
Remove suckers, shoots which appear alongside your original rose bush but whose leaves are different and whose shoots appear from the roots. Don’t cut them with secateurs. Instead, pull the sucker, while wearing tough gloves, from its point of origin, scraping the soil away to see where it comes from and grip low down.

Grow Your Own Cane fruit
Tennis star serves up an ace for property investors
BARE-ROOTED cane fruits including blackberries, raspberries and hybrid berry canes can be planted up until the end of the month. You’ll need to prepare the soil thoroughly by digging a trench along the proposed row and working in plenty of organic matter. All these cane fruits, apart from autumn-fruiting raspberries (pictured), will need support for their fruiting canes, which can be done with posts at either end of the row and a minimum of three horizontal wires attached to the posts at even intervals. If you are using a wall or fence for blackberries (raspberries prefer to be in the open), attach the wires to vine eyes screwed into the wall. Bare-rooted raspberries should be planted about 45cm (18in) apart while blackberries and hybrid berries need more space, so should be planted at least 1.5m (5ft) apart, or more. Prune newly planted canes to around 22cm (9in) from the ground, to encourage the production of strong canes from the base of the plant. Tie them to the wire as they grow through the season but don’t harvest them this year and remove flowers if there are a lot of them, which will encourage a better crop next season.
What to do this week ● Continue chitting seed potatoes. ● Prune late summer shrubs including buddleia, caryopteris and ceratostigma. ● Send your mower to be serviced before the spring rush. ● Top-dress permanent plantings with fresh compost, scraping away about 2.5cm (1in) of old compost from the surface. ● Keep the garden relatively free of debris
under which winter pests can hide. ● Begin to feed plants in established borders using a controlled-release slow-acting fertiliser, avoiding splashing it on new foliage. ● Spray nectarine and peach trees to prevent or eradicate peach leaf curl disease. ● Test the soil temperature using a thermometer but don’t sow anything outdoors until the soil
has remained above 7C (45F) for a week. ● Check that wall-trained fruit trees and bushes are well supported before the new season’s growth makes fresh demands on them. ● Prune winter jasmine after flowering, shortening long old shoots to encourage new growth. ● Continue planting bare-rooted trees and shrubs while they are still dormant.
● Bring pot-grown strawberry plants into the greenhouse to encourage early flowering and fruiting. ● Keep sacking or old carpet handy to cover and insulate cold frames during very cold spells. ● In the kitchen garden, continue clearing the ground, digging it over and adding garden compost. ● Lift and divide overgrown flowering perennials.

How to get rid of squatters
MANY squatters believe they are protected by rights deeply entrenched in English law. A recent high profile story involved 30 people in a £6million town house in one of London’s most prestigious residential areas. Landlords and property developers throughout the country have had to deal with the problems caused by squatters entering their properties. To have them removed and regain possession can incur huge costs and take a long time. And the overall cost of regaining possession of the property will often not only involve legal costs because, sadly, repairing any damage caused to the property while it has been unlawfully occupied can
BIGGER AND BETTER: This semi in Liverpool 14 has been extended and improved with attractive gardens, inset
ADVICE: Kevin Ross add thousands of pounds to the final bill. People who are squatting in residential or commercial property have entered and occupied it illegally and, contrary to popular belief, it is relatively simple to remove them, says Kevin Ross from Brown Turner Ross solicitors. Kevin says: “The first step is to ensure that the property is properly secured and cannot be entered when work is not being carried out. “It sounds simple enough but in many cases squatters were able to enter properties far too easily because they had not been properly and effectively secured. “Although squatters have entered the property illegally they do have the basic rights of a ‘person in occupation’. “To regain possession of the property is relatively simple as long as a property owner gets legal advice from a specialist solicitor.” ◆ For more information call Brown Turner Ross on 0151 236 2233 or go to www.brownturner.co.uk
Living with space and style is just the thing by JANET TANSLEY
INSIDE STORY: the stylish lounge, left, with feature fireplace and, right, the well equipped kitchen
W
HEN it comes to buying a house we often feel we have to base our decision on one thing or another – space or cost. Too often, the space has to be compromised in favour of the price – but not with this fantastic home. It’s got bags of space, four bedrooms and a very tempting price of £199,950. The semi detached in Thingwall Hall Drive, Liverpool 14, seems too good to be true – but it’s real all right. A hardwood door with leaded glass surround leads into the entrance hall with downstairs cloakroom. Downstairs, too, the spacious accommodation
includes a dining room with bay window and feature fireplace with living flame fire, and a lounge with French doors leading to a decked patio area and, again, with a feature fireplace. The extended kitchen has a good range of wall and base units, with contrasting work
surfaces, and an integrated electric oven, gas hob and extractor fan, a stainless steel sink unit and mixer tap. There is also a matching breakfast bar. Next door is a utility room with space for a fridge/freezer and tumble drier. The main bedroom has
fitted wardrobes with mirrored sliding doors. Bedroom two features laminate flooring, and bedroom three has fitted wardrobes. The bathroom has a low level WC, wash basin, bath and overhead shower. Outside there are gardens to
the front and rear of the property, and a lovely summer house which could also be used as a workshop, small gym or a teenagers’ games room.

New Parent power A
LEADING housebuilder has unveiled a ground-breaking new scheme to reward the growing number of parents who put down a deposit on their children’s first home. David Wilson Homes North West will pay the interest which mum and dad would have earned on their savings at a highly competitive rate of 5% – well above the Bank of England’s base rate. The offer means parents who want to help their offspring get on the first rung of the property ladder can do so without losing a penny of interest on their savings. Under the scheme – appropriately called Parent Power – David Wilson Homes North West will pay 5% interest per annum for a full five years on a deposit of up to 20%. So if a parent puts down a maximum £24,000 deposit on a property costing £120,000, they will receive the equivalent of £1,200 a year in interest for five years. This is paid in a lump sum
of £6,000 at the time of completion. Steve Jackson, sales director at David Wilson Homes North West, said: “The reality of high house prices is that a growing number of parents now put down a deposit to help their son or daughter to buy a property of their own. “But if that money is used to fund a deposit, it means it isn’t in a high-interest savings account earning money for mum and dad. “This new scheme assists with that problem, because you can pay a deposit on a new home for your children and we will pay you the interest you would have earned on the money.” Parent Power is just one of the initiatives David Wilson Homes North West offers to help first time buyers secure their dream home. Ashlea Stoll, a first time buyer who recently purchased her first home from David Wilson Homes North West, explains: “Stepping onto the property ladder for the first time was a bit daunting, but the team at David Wilson Homes
North West really helped to put me at ease and ensure that the whole process ran smoothly. Not only did they provide advice every step of the way, but they made sure it was as easy as possible for me to secure the home I wanted. I just can’t wait to move in now!” Homes currently available from David Wilson Homes in the Liverpool and surrounding areas include St John’s Place, a stunning new development comprising a collection of two and three bedroom homes, and Willowbrook Park, a popular development located in Kirkby which has just three properties remaining, including one and three bedroom homes. Homes currently available in Runcorn include Ascot Gardens, a stunning development of four and five bedroom homes in Widnes, and Swans Reach, a collection of three and four bedroom homes in the popular area of Runcorn. ● For further information please call the sales team on 0844 5566155 or visit www.dwh.co.uk.

TAFF at Barratt Manchester are celebrating after enjoying remarkable sales success in the year just gone, showing that demand for new homes in the area remains strong despite the mixed national picture. The Manchester-based housebuilder legally completed 211 properties/sold homes worth £29.8m in the final six months of the year just ended – hitting its own internal targets. The outcome provides solid evidence that demand in the local housing market remain strong. “We are proud of our reputation for building high quality homes in great locations throughout the region, which has enabled us to perform strongly despite the uncertainty about the wider economy at the moment,” said Jason Newton, sales director at Barratt Manchester. “It is clear that plenty of customers think now is a great time to take their next step on the property ladder. Prices are lower than they were in 2007 and interest rates are low too, which means rock bottom mortgage repayments.” Homes currently available include a stunning range at both Scholars Gate and Chandlers Walk, both in Wirral.

OME buyers in Liverpool are being invited by New City Vision to a special weekend event where they can get a free wealth check on the state of their finances and getting a mortgage. The event at New City Vision’s Ellergreen development in Liverpool 11 takes place on Saturday and Sunday, February 19 and 20, when a host of financial experts will be on hand to offer free advice and consultations to home buyers. Co-ordinating the event will be new sales manager at Ellergreen Wendy Roberts, who said: “At New
City Vision we know how difficult it can be to get a grip on your finances when thinking about buying a new home. “This is why we’re offering people the chance to come along on this special weekend and talk to myself, an Independent Financial Advisor, and Home Buy Direct consultants so we can give them a simple wealth check.” Ellergreen is situated just five miles from the heart of Liverpool centre but within fantastic surroundings and close to Croxteth Country Park. It boasts a range of two, three and four bedroom mews, semi-detached and detached
properties, with features such as French doors, contemporary kitchens, en-suites and private gardens. All homes in phase one are now sold, and phase two has just been released for sale, along with former show homes that are ready to move into. As well as a free wealth check, home buyers will be able to get details on special offers from New City Vision and specifications on the latest release of homes in phase two. Prices start from £91,000 on the HomeBuy Direct scheme. There are a limited number of new homes in phase two available on the government-backed
HomeBuy Direct shared equity scheme. This allows home buyers to own 100% of the property yet pay from just 70% of the asking price now. The balance is provided in the form of an equity loan jointly funded by the government and New City Vision. The equity loan is repayable over 25 years or when the property is sold, and even better, the loan is interest free for the first five years. ● Visit the Ellergreen marketing suite, opposite St Teresa’s Church, Utting Avenue East, Liverpool, L11 5AB, open 10am-5.30pm Thursday to Monday, call 0151 256 0900 or email sales@newcityvisionliverpool.co.uk.
