McCARTHY & Stone is helping The Royal British Legion celebrate its 90th Anniversary by joining in the charity’s Great Poppy Party Weekend – and throwing an extra special event at the Forest Court development in Chester. Between 2pm and 4pm today the retirement developers are inviting visitors to join in celebrations by popping in for a warm cup of tea and a complimentary slice of birthday cake. Afterwards, they will tour the show complex and discover the many benefits of modern retirement living. Guests will be greeted with a number of other treats and games, all to raise money for The Royal British Legion. There are two reasons to celebrate at Forest Court that weekend, as resident Mrs Majorie Wright will celebrate her 90th Birthday at the joint festivities in the residents lounge. Fiona Brooks Regional Sales and Marketing Director for McCarthy & Stone says: “Many residents have links to the armed forces so it only felt right to celebrate The Royal British Legions 90th Anniversary. “With Mrs Wright’s 90th birthday coinciding with the Poppy party, the residents at Forest Court are doubly excited about the festivities in store.” The Royal British Legion was selected as McCarthy & Stone’s Charity of the Year for 2010/2011. As part of its commitment to the cause, the developer will aim to raise at least £30,000 throughout the course of year. Call 01244 346191 or visit www.mccarthyandstone.co.uk

JONES Homes has revealed its most visited site in the North West is Newton-le-Willows. It has announced the news as it opens the second show home in the first phase of the development at Newlands Grange. The Langley 3 is the new threebedroom show home now open for viewing, complementing the four-bedroom detached Newbury show home. Jones Homes says the positive developments provide more evidence of confidence in the housing market in the area. Sales Manager Anna Halliwell says: “We strongly advise home seekers to have a good look round our show homes before making the big decision. Our interiors are really special and visitors are always impressed by the attention to detail.” The company says the Langley is ideal for first time buyers, young families or those thinking of downsizing, and offers deceptively spacious accommodation. A generous living room opens out via patio doors to the back garden. Bays in both the dining room and lounge add to the sense of space and a handy downstairs loo is a welcome addition. Jones HomeBuy, a shared equity scheme, is currently available on some selected plots. Newlands Grange is just off Wargrave Road.

FURNESS Building Society has been nominated in two categories of the Moneyfacts Awards 2011 which recognise the best UK financial products. The Society, which has a Liverpool branch at 18 Castle Street, was nominated as ‘Best first time buyer mortgage provider’ and ‘Best building society mortgage provider’ . Chief Executive Rob Cairns said the society says: “It is always encouraging to be recognised for excellence by industry peers but the true judges of our products are our own members. “We have built our business on developing products that meet the needs of our members and their satisfaction with those products is the ultimate accolade.” The society recently linked up with Taylor Wimpey to offer a 95% mortgage on new homes. The Society has also developed the innovative Family Mortgage that enables parents or other family members to help young people to either get a start on the property ladder or move up to a better home by effectively acting as guarantors for part of a 95% mortgage. Details of the full range of Furness Building Society mortgage products can be found at www.furnessbs.co.uk
BOSSES at Liverpool’s St ● Paul’s Square development have hit back at claims by Halifax
that the UK will become a nation
of renters within a generation as young people give up on the dream of home ownership. A survey commissioned by Halifax quoted that 60% of buyers thought it was either very hard or virtually impossible to get a mortgage, with a further 61% of potential buyers put off buying by the stress and anxiety involved in applying for a mortgage. David Caught, Residential Sales & Marketing Director for English Cities Funds, St Paul’s Square, says: “Buyers reading stories like these will only be more inclined to shy away from approaching mortgage lenders when, in reality, the number of mortgage products on the market increased for the fifth consecutive month in May, taking it to the highest level since 2008. While the Halifax figures are interesting to consider, I think it’s important to focus on the positives at the moment.” St Paul’s Square commissioned a survey of homeowners and tenants in April that revealed 82% of people still thought it was ‘essential to buy a property at some stage’ illustrating that becoming a homeowner is still a priority, with more than 27% citing that paying towards something felt better than renting. David adds: “Both our survey and Halifax’s own figures showed that the vast majority of people still want to own their own property, so we’re glad Halifax recognises the need for a First Time Buyers Pledge that will help outline its lending criteria making the application process more transparent.”

ALK about bachelor bliss! For boys who love their toys, sport, hi-tech gear and parties, One Park West in Liverpool has unveiled the ultimate home for the 21st Century singleton. The apartment, designed by award winning interior designers, Kingston Shaw, is unique and has already attracted interest from the region’s footballers and property investors. Thanks to superb attention to detail, apartment A1307 boasts a spectrum of fantastic features. Visitors are greeted by an astroturf covered hallway, complete with putting holes and auto golf ball returner. And the outdoors are bought inside with cloudy blue sky ceiling paper providing a perfect place for that essential putting practise. In the living/dining area, you will discover the whopping 46” LED LCD 3D HD TV - but be careful you don’t miss the Playstation 3 and the state of the art Bang & Olufsen Beosound 3200 CD/radio/hard drive music system complete with floor speakers, all of which help create the perfect venue for an action-packed lads’ night in.
ALL WHITE: The sitting room overlooking the Liver Building on the waterfront and, right American style locker room The apartment also boasts the country’s first La Boite laptop desk. With a focus on electronic acoustics, the laptop-loving music furniture features seven drivers, including a down-firing subwoofer and a stereo pair at the rear, the
latter bouncing sound off a wall and neatly into your ear canal. The unit also comes with an iPad 2. The sports theme continues in the living area with a dart board and surrounding design, chalk board wall and poker table for those looking to entertain guests.
The master bedroom has black-out blinds and double glazing to ensure an uninterrupted lazy lie-in, and an Epson HD remote controlled projector hovers discreetly over the double bed pointing at a 70” retractable screen. Offset with a holographic mirrored
ceiling and wall of bespoke digital art, it creates an exciting urban feel. Second bedroom or dressing room? Well, what about an American style locker room instead? It comes complete with lockers for storage and a spare bed hanging up in a punch-bag design, to add the perfect finishing touch. If all that hasn’t entirely quenched your thirst for urban living, the mini pub – complete with beer chiller, beer pump and mini fridge – will. Guy Butler, Projects Director at Grosvenor, says: “This place has everything a bachelor in the 21st Century may want or need in spades, and we have been delighted by the initial response we have received from both men and women alike.” Kate Kingston of interior designers Kingston Shaw adds: “We wanted the look and feel to reflect the city.” The apartment is on the market for £275,000 and all the fixtures, fittings and gadgets are included in the price. Guy Butler adds, “The apartment is good to go and the purchaser will be able to move in and put the kettle on, or even pull themselves a pint.” Go to www.oneparkwest.co.uk or call King Sturge on 0151 242 6490.

My First
HOME
Brian Nash Where was the family home where you grew up and what was it like? The first two years of my life were spent in a flat off Athol St, Scotland Road, and we moved to Norris Green when I was two. What is your clearest memory of the house? My earliest memories of the house were all playing in the garden. Mum and dad were keen gardeners. The lawn was pretty big for a council house and I remember my dad using old teacups to make three golf holes. Unfortunately it didn't turn me into Tiger Woods. Where was the first house you bought yourself and what did it cost? The first property I bought was with my wife in 1986. It was a three bedroom flat on Sutherland Avenue in London W9. It was the scruffier part of Maida Vale. It had a converted loft with a roof terrace that overlooked the Westway. Not the greatest view but at least it was a view. The flat cost £120,000 which I didn't have. What made you want to buy it? I liked the area because it was central with lots of green areas and really great old pubs and was quite close to the M1 and the route North. I decided to move down before Mark O'Toole and Peter Gill and was subject to abuse like "Turning your back on the city" and "Traitor to your roots". Within six months they had both done the same thing. What are the important things you look for when buying a house? I currently live in a modest Edwardian terraced house in North London and I have no plans to move. If I were to then I think one of the most important things is parking – being able to unload your shopping on your doorstep is a small but real luxury. Are you a DIY trier or do you leave it to the experts? I am very handy with the DIY. As an electrician I rewired my own house. Through the years my plastering has improved and I have done most of the walls and a couple of ceilings when I have been redecorating. I do all my own painting and even put some decking down a couple of years ago so I guess that means I can do it myself but it takes me quite a time to finish because I am a perfectionist to the point of OCD and it takes me quite a long time to start because I am lazy! What is the one thing you love most about your current home? I love the fact that we are only the second family to live in it since it was built in 1901. We bought it from the original owner's daughter. I also love my neighbours. It is the first place I have lived in London where I feel there is a strong sense of community. BY JANET TANSLEY

Bewildered by the vast range of colours and styles available when it comes to decorating your home? Gabrielle Fagan gets the experts on the case
D
ECORATING can be a tricky task these days with a dazzling array of styles, designs and influences on offer: from shabby chic to crazy colour, gorgeous glamour or even full-on confusion! But tailoring a space into somewhere that speaks volumes about your personality and taste doesn’t just serve to impress visitors – more importantly it also turns it into a home. “It’s usually when people move away from home into their first property that they realise the potential of a place where they can truly express themselves and let their imagination run wild,” says Joanna Copestick, co-author of a new guide to designing a home, Decorate. “Discovering your style sensibility and why you are attracted to certain things is one of the most joyful and emotionally freeing processes of decorating.”
STARTING OUT
IDEALLY, before starting any scheme, the experts suggest you turn detective by collecting cuttings from magazines of photos of rooms you’re attracted to, as well as pieces of fabric, and working out what you’re instantly drawn to on colour charts. “Create a personal checklist of what matters to you. If you love light, make sure you place furniture close to windows to enjoy the view,” says Joanna. “If you’re always in the kitchen, ensure it’s a place where friends can hang out too, and if you enjoy a sense of space, think about banishing some walls in favour of sliding screens or glass doors.”
TALKING POINT: The East Coast Vase Large is bursting with colour
SOFA, SO GOOD: Individual style can really make a home
Most of all, she urges: “Stay on the look-out for the ’ah-ha!’ moment when you walk into a space and instantly feel connected.” Check out the designers’ advice on creating three key looks.
COLOUR
USING colours is one of the most personal styles of decorating you can undertake. “It’s so individual but
remember nothing’s wrong – one person’s favourite vivid turquoise or sugar plum pink can be another’s idea of excess in the taste department,” says Joanna. Think outside of the box as well, she advises, as colour need not necessarily be painted on walls. If a room is bland and box-like, incorporate an interesting focal point featuring colour, whether it’s a mantel shelf for a display of colourful china, a large piece of free-standing, vibrantly-painted furniture or a stunning piece of art to take up one wall. In a large room, where you want to enhance a sense of enclosure and seclusion, opposing walls can be painted the same colour. Alternatively, a wall painted up to dado height in a vivid colour with white above is a good way to live with some colour without feeling overwhelmed by it. “Jewel-bright sunlit rooms can stand big, bold
shades of fuchsia or topaz, so go with the colourful vibe if light is not an issue,” says Joanna. “In a room dominated by neutral colours, add in vivid contrast colour as accents on upholstery, cushions or artwork. Strong tones such as orange, citrus lime or red work well as vivid jolts of colour in this way.”
FLEA MARKET STYLE
WHETHER you call it junk, or simply old stuff, there’s no doubt that flea market chic’s time is now. “The idea of living with second-hand furniture and objects is as fashionable as the latest outfits from the latest Paris catwalk show,” says Joanna. While foraging in charity shops and second-hand stores can be fun and productive, she advises having a list of eras that you’d like represented in your home. To be on trend, retro Fifties and Sixties style is in vogue. But feel free to indulge your own passions – whether it’s for items such as a 1930s clock or a 1970s tea service as well as that 1960s

wood-framed sofa. “Revel in mixing up the era and playing with colours and materials. If your eye immediately fixes on a battered cabinet across a crowded junk shop floor then you’ll find it hard to go home without it,” she says. “Trust your instinct and buy only items that you are really attracted to from the start. Use smaller flea market finds to embellish existing items, perhaps antique handles to dress up a chest of drawers, vintage plates displayed on a shelf, or fabric from old curtains turned into striking cushion covers.”
▼
DUVET DAY: Soft furnishings can be used to make a real statement
GLAMOUR
MODERN glamour’s all about making a statement and preserving a sense of cool at the same time, says Joanna. Mix dramatic furniture with pale neutral colours, using glamorous materials such as velvet or marble in rooms with simple furniture layouts, or place unexpected pieces of furniture alongside one another to create an interesting rhythm. “For a modern glamour masterclass, gather together furniture that is a mix of glossy white, reflective steel, hard-edged but luxurious marble and in a

range of decorative styles.” Luxury, she says, goes hand in hand with glamour which means deliciously tactile textiles. “Think of rich velvet or chenille used in combination with damask or textured linens in bold colours, graphic patterns or stylised floral designs,” she says. “Wallpaper always adds glamour and visual interest to a space. Keep it confined to one wall or one part of a room for the most impact. Bold patterns or motifs in muted colours provide a smart backdrop.”

ERBS create the tastes of summer – basil torn over juicy tomatoes, dill added to simple fish dishes, chicken stuffed with thyme, coriander added to zingy salsas, mint and parsley chopped up in tabbouleh and other salad dishes. So many herbs and so little space, those with small gardens might say, but there is always room for a pot or two or even a windowbox of aromatic, flavoursome herbs which will enhance your menus whatever the time of year. Many exhibitors at this year’s gardening shows are of the same opinion. At the forthcoming BBC Gardeners’ World Live at Birmingham’s NEC, for example, a new Edible Patches section seeks to display innovative ways of growing edible plants in a small space measuring 1.5m x 2.5m – and herbs are right up there with lettuces, chard and spinach. The unusually hot weather in April and May will have given some herbs a head start. Many thrive in sunnier climates including thyme, rosemary and basil, which historically hasn’t grown very well in this country because our summers have been too cool. Mint grows almost anywhere, but if you are creating a herb garden, grow it in a pot or it will invade everything else in its path. If you want your herb garden to look more formal, consider planting
LEAF IT OUT: A herb garden, above, is great if you have the room. Basil, left, is perfect in pots dwarf hedges of rosemary or lavender around the edges, or to divide beds. Lavender can simply be sheared after flowering to keep it looking neat and tidy, but don’t cut into old wood or it won’t grow back. Standard bays in pots either side of a front door or other entrance can create a formal, stylish look and you can pick the leaves to add to pasta sauces and casseroles. When designing your herb garden, remember that prostrate varieties such as Corsican mint, many thymes and marjorams form
mats of pretty foliage to cascade over edges and fill gaps in paving. And don’t think you have to reserve a whole plot for herbs. You can interplant them in your border to add colour and texture. Clumps of chives, which produce purple flower balls, and sage, with its subtle leaf colours, are ideal. Rock gardens, with gritty, well-drained soil, are also a perfect setting for low-growing herbs such as thyme, of which there are endless varieties, many of which have variegated leaves and produce small
Best Of The Bunch Astrantia (Masterwort) THESE dainty-looking plants, with basal clumps of divided foliage topped with small flowers in shades ranging from white to pink and deep red, are ideal for the middle of the border. They reach about 60cm (2ft), but don’t need staking and grow in any soil in sun or partial shade. Their soft, subtle shades blend easily into most colour schemes and their flowers can last until September. The variety A major “Sunningdale Variegated” makes a good plant partner with the purple foliage of Viola labradorica, while A carniolica “Rubra’” makes an eye catching addition to the border with its dark red blooms. Astrantias like any moisture-retentive garden soil. Divide overcrowded clumps in autumn.
flowers in the summer. Basil, which tastes so much better if you grow it yourself than if you buy it from the supermarket, is a tender annual used in much Mediterranean cooking and loves the sunshine. It’s best sown into seed trays or modules in a greenhouse and then hardened off and transplanted into a sheltered, sunny spot when all danger of frost has passed. It does well in pots on sun-baked patios but should be watered whenever dry and the growing tips
pinched out regularly to encourage bushy growth and delay flowering. Sweet basil and bush basil are the common types grown, but you could also try cinnamon basil, anise basil and lemon basil. Perennials including chives, sorrel, fennel and mint should come up year after year. Annual herbs which need to be raised from seed each year include dill, coriander, chervil and borage. These are best germinated in a greenhouse in spring. The majority of herbs thrive in
Things to do this week ● Ensure tall perennials and climbers are adequately staked. ● Pinch out the tips of dahlias to promote bushy plants. ● Dig up deep-rooted weeds such as dandelions before they set seed. ● Tie in new shoots of cane fruits such as blackberries and raspberries. ● Trim back clematis Montana after flowering if it is growing too wild. ● Continue to prune spring-flowering shrubs after they have flowered. ● Divide clumps of overcrowded waterlilies and replant them in aquatic baskets. ● If the leaves of acid-loving plants such as azaleas or camellias have gone yellow, water them with a fertiliser formulated specifically for acid-lovers. ● Cut lawns at least once a week now grass is growing strongly. ● Pinch out the tips of trailing plants in hanging baskets to make them bush out. Deadhead them as necessary. ● Hang yellow sticky cards in the greenhouse to trap whitefly. ● Apply a mulch to the shoulders of parsnips to prevent the flesh from shrinking and cracking. ● Remove suckers on fruit trees, rhododendrons and roses by pulling away, rather than cutting.

Grow Your Own Chamomile THE dried flowers of this easy-to-grow herb make a perfect calming tea at bedtime – so don’t spend a fortune in the supermarket on posh infusions. Make your own instead. Roman chamomile (Chamaemelum nobile) is the type which flowers and is best started with a pot grown plant,
positioned in a warm, sunny, sheltered position in well-drained soil. Each plant spreads to about 45cm (18in) wide and grows 10cm (4in) high and produces white, daisy flowers. To make the tea, pour boiling water over a spoonful of dried chamomile flowers and let
it brew for a few minutes before straining it into a cup. To dry the flowers, lay them face down on a cool, flat surface out of the sun and store in paper bags in a dark cupboard when dry. The other type, called “Treneague”, is nonflowering and used mainly for chamomile lawns.
CHIVE TALKING: Chives, above, make a good addition to the border. Fennel, right, has dramatic presence sunny, sheltered spots. If you only have a semi-shaded spot available, try growing scented lemon balm, which can be used to flavour sauces for chicken and fish, lovage, a hardy perennial which has a flavour similar to celery, and angelica, a giant herb growing to several metres which can be used to flavour cakes and cooked fruit. ● BBC Gardeners’ World Live,

Debate rages over value of interest-only mortgages WHEN the pressures begin to build on balancing the household budget, does it make sense to use the mortgage as a safety valve by switching to an interest-only loan to cut monthly repayments? It’s a topic that many experts have been debating lately. Terry Smith, City broker and founder of the Fundsmith fund management operation, warns that interest-only mortgages are “no better than renting, really,” with all the responsibilities and costs of ownership on top. But DeAnne Julius – a founder member of the Bank of England’s Monetary Policy Committee – doesn’t agree and argues that interest-only loans can “make sense for certain people at certain times in their lives”. Their comments follow a report by the Financial Services Authority (FSA) which noted that the value of
interest-only mortgages soared by £99bn between the third quarter of 2007 – when the housing boom hit the buffers – and the end of 2010. The number of interest-only borrowers rose in that time, says the FSA, by more than 369,000. In many cases the FSA puts this switch down to “forbearance”, where lenders suggest a switch to lower, more affordable payments to avoid a default and possible repossession. But the regulator is worried by this trend. If borrowers pay only the interest charged on their loan, how will they eventually pay the lump sum owned on their home when the loan matures, without selling up and becoming homeless? Andrew Hagger at financial website Moneynet.co.uk says: “When prices were rising, interest-only borrowers had a

Some more wealthy borrowers hold substantial sums in bonds, which pay a guaranteed annual income. Lending conditions applying to interest-only loans have been greatly tightened since 2007. And borrowers trying to move in the past 12 months have found it increasingly difficult to carry or “port” an existing interest-only mortgage to their next home. “Ironically, some clients whose lender has refused to allow an existing mortgage to be ported have had a mortgage application declined on grounds it is unaffordable, even when they want to trade down and have had no arrears,” says one expert. “This is because of the much more onerous affordability calculations now being used by some lenders, which hit older borrowers particularly hard.”

E all want to live in places that are safe, secure and attractive – and today’s new home developments can help to encourage a sense of community and reduce the risk of crime. That is the message from housebuilder Barratt Manchester, which says it is now giving higher priority than ever before to development layout when creating new places to live. Barratt carefully plans to achieve the correct balance between privacy and community, cars and pedestrians. Not only does getting the right balance encourage neighbourliness, it also discourages crime and anti-social behaviour. “Our aim is to create safe, secure and attractive communities where people aspire to live, and design has a crucial role to play in that,” said Jason Newton, sales director at Barratt Manchester. “We want to build friendly places to live, where people get to know their neighbours.” Good design isn’t arrived at by accident. Barratt has its own Guide to Good Design which covers all aspects of site layout including exterior design, landscaping, roads, safety and security. Homes currently available from

Guide ATTRACTIVE: The Patterdale style of home has a contemporary kitchen, left, and a bright and airy living space, below
Better by design
Barratt Manchester include a stunning range of homes at Chandlers Walk, Bromborough. Home of the week at Chandlers Walk is plot 10, the four bedroom semi-detached Patterdale. This home features a light and airy open-plan lounge and a fully fitted contemporary kitchen with oven, hob and extractor fan. The
rear garden is accessed via French doors from the kitchen. A storage area, ideal as a cloakroom, and extra washroom facilities located within the entrance hall are a convenient addition to the ground floor. The first floor has a stunning master bedroom as well as three more spacious bedrooms and a
family bathroom. Plot 10 has a list price of only £154,995 and is currently being offered with a low 5% deposit, which Barratt Manchester will pay for you. ● For further information on Chandlers Walk, call Nikki Smith on 07707 207 002. Homebuyers can also visit www.barratthomes.co.uk/

Morris Homes: The Point

Buying can be cheaper

*Offer on selected plots only, subject to terms and conditions. HomeBuy Direct is available subject to status and is based on paying 70% upfront with a 30% equity loan for the remaining amount - interest free for 5 years. **Carpets and integrated appliances subject to availability, terms and conditions apply. Details and price correct at time of going to press. Image representative only.
LEADING housebuilder is reminding renters in Liverpool that buying their first property is often a cheaper alternative, particularly if they take advantage of the Government-led HomeBuy Direct scheme. Recent figures have revealed that buying a property now costs 14% less than renting.* According to housebuilder Morris – the developer behind The Point, off Deysbrook Lane, West Derby – the cost of buying a first property can be reduced even further by taking advantage of schemes like the popular HomeBuy
Direct scheme. HomeBuy Direct enables qualifying first time buyers and key workers – such as nurses, teachers and social workers – to purchase a new home with a mortgage for just 70% of its market value, and is available on selected properties at Morris developments for a limited time only. Chris Minshall, regional sales director for Morris, said: “These new figures, which revealed that buying a property is nearly £100 a month cheaper than renting, are great news for those looking to get onto the property ladder. “We’ve already helped many first
time buyers secure a home at The Point through the HomeBuy Direct scheme. However, with the scheme due to end in the next few weeks and a limited number of properties remaining, we would encourage first time buyers to register their interest as soon as possible to avoid missing out.” In addition to the HomeBuy Direct scheme, Morris can also offer a tailored furniture scheme for first time buyers at The Point, including integrated kitchen appliances, curtains and blinds. Morris currently has a selection of three bedroom properties available under the HomeBuy
Direct scheme at The Point, starting from £135,625**. For more information about Morris’ The Point development, visit the sales office (open daily from 10.30am to 5.30pm) at The Point, Deysbrook Lane, West Derby, L12 4YG, call 0151 254 2602 or visit www.morrishomes.co.uk/the-point/ * Research conducted by Halifax, April 2011 **Price is correct at time of going to press. Price quoted is a percentage of the marketed price on selected homes. Repayment is a percentage of the resale or market value after 10 years. Subject to terms and conditions.
