Around The Agents

Contents

ONE OF Merseyside’s leading ● auction houses, Sutton Kersh, has teamed up with Bridging

Finance Solutions (BFS) to make quick funds available for buyers at auction.

With so many traditional lenders continuing to impose tight lending restrictions on investors and pulling back from funding small scale property developments and refurbishments, specialist finance companies are providing an essential role in bridging the funding gap.

A lack of finance and a shortage of stock created a difficult selling environment for auction houses in 2010.

At a time when investors are keen to grow their portfolios with so many cheap property deals available and realising the potential for strong financial gains when the market recovers, many are now turning to new channels of funding for support.

Bridging Finance Solutions is an award winning principal funder, lending to individuals, partnerships and companies, and promise to deliver an offer in principle within 24 hours of receiving an enquiry.

Loans can be obtained on residential properties for up to nine months and once terms have been agreed, access to the funds can be in as little as seven days.

James Kersh, director at Sutton Kersh, says: “With so many investors wanting to buy in the current market conditions, it is the lack of funding that is being made available to them that is preventing the market from a faster rate of recovery. Those investors who are able to make smart purchases in the present market are set to be well rewarded in the medium to long term. BFS is providing a simple, efficient and cost-effective solution for these buyers and we are keen to raise awareness of their services and ensure we help our clients as best we can in what continues to be a very tough market.”

Steve Barber, director at Bridging Finance Solutions, adds: “We are delighted to partner with Sutton Kersh in providing short term finance solutions for their clients. We specialise in fast short term funding for property refurbishments, auction purchases, fast residential investment property purchase and capital raising, while property is sold or refinanced onto long term funding.”

FORMER Merchant Taylors’ pupil Cara Henderson has won best student in the national Women in Property Awards.

It will lead to her charter with the RICS (Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors).

Cara is currently on placement with Redrow in North Wales.

TERRIBLE weather ● conditions in December exacerbated a housing market

already experiencing a cyclical lull – leading to fewer sales than at any point since January 2003.

But the National Association of Estate Agents (NAEA) is confident that estate agents across the region can look to a brighter start to 2011.

Early signs are that the first weeks of the year have seen a resurgence in demand and activity.

The latest market report from the NNAEA found that the average estate agent branch sold four properties in December 2010. That is the lowest figure per agent since January 2003, when the figure was two properties per branch. In November 2010 the average branch sold seven properties.

Sales traditionally do drop in December as many people are reluctant to buy or sell property during the holiday period. This year the slowdown was exacerbated by the terrible weather conditions that left swathes of

the UK blanketed in snow.

NAEA President Mike Jones says: “December is always a slow month for agents, but there is little doubt that these figures are worse than usual.

“However, it is important not to read too much into it. This lack of sales can be explained by freak weather conditions, rather than any underlying problem with the market. We would hope to see a bounce-back in the next few months.

“Indeed, the New Year has begun very strongly and agents have reported a very busy couple of weeks that we are hopeful will continue.”

Other figures in the monthly market analysis gave cause for cautious optimism.

The supply of properties remained strong at a time when a fall would have been expected.

The average branch had 64 properties on its books in December, the same as the previous month.

The percentage of sales made to first time buyers increased – from 19 per cent in November to 25 per cent in December.

The number of people registering to look for property fell, from 241 in November to 227 in December.

SHADOW minister and Merseyside MP Luciana Berger was full of praise for Bootle company Eco Environment’s work into renewable energy innovations.

The MP toured the Bootle HQ before going to inspect one of the solar power voltaic projects in Crosby.

The company had been selected

by Envirolink North West which promotes and supports companies using and developing green technologies, something becoming increasingly important in the housing development market.

Luciana says: “Companies such as Eco Environments are a shining example of how Merseyside is helping to drive the development of the low carbon economy in the North West.”

My First

HOME

Cathy Roberts

(Tugboat Cathy, who lives on a tugboat in the Albert Dock) Where was the family home you grew up in and what was it like?

The very first house that I remember was an inter-war semi in Crosby, off Myers Road. I grew up in an extended family with an abundance of aunties. I’m pretty sure the house had elasticated sides because any amount of people seemed to be there yet there was always room for anyone who needed it.

What is your clearest memory of the house?

Warmth. That would be the best word to describe how I remember it. No central heating, in fact probably not much heating at all besides the wonderful coal fire and a couple of two bar electric heaters. But there was such warmth in that house – a constant smell of breakfast downstairs – while upstairs, beyond the huge statue of the Sacred Heart of Mary, there was the scent of setting lotion and imperial leather soap in the bathroom.

Where was the first house you bought yourself and what did it cost?

I never really aimed to buy a house, apart from childhood hopes of living in a tree. I finally bought my first and only house off Aigburth Road near Lark Lane 14 years ago for £43,000, I think.

What made you want to buy it?

Family reasons, and it was close enough to Lark Lane and the park, where I had lived for the previous nine or so years.

What are the most important features you look for when buying a house?

Ha! The ability to hold her head in a big tide – I prefer a tugboat these days.

Are you a DIY trier or do you leave it to the experts?

Well, when I first found my vintage tugboat she was optimistically referred to as a project boat, which should have told me everything I needed to know. For project read wreck! But with some fantastic if eccentric helpers, and lots of wild optimism, after three wild winters she was seaworthy enough to sail the 860 nautical miles around the northern coast from Goole, via Scotland and the Isle of Man, to Liverpool.

What's the one thing you love most about your current house?

She floats! And, even in the bitter winter that we’ve just had, she has that unmistakable warmth.

Warm and wondrous – carpet is back in style It’s time to roll out the carpet again. Colourful floor coverings are making a comeback, says Gabrielle Fagan

C

ARPETS are enjoying a revival – and it’s giving us the perfect excuse to have fun with the floor again.

“We’re not moving house as much, so instead of sanding floorboards and adding rugs that we can take with us, we’re investing in permanence like carpet,” says interior designer Andrea Maflin.

“And as floors are probably the first thing you notice when you enter a home, it’s a great space to express your personality.”

Modern carpets are alive with imaginative designs, interesting textures and are following fashionable trends by featuring designs ranging from chic florals through to geometrics.

“I’m a huge fan of carpet,” says design expert George Clarke, for Fun On The Floor.

“I have it fitted throughout my home as it banishes draughts, is easy to care for and hygienic.

There’s such a huge variety of textures, colours and styles that you can use to transform a room.”

Flooring should always be first on the list when decorating as it creates the whole mood and atmosphere of a room, advises Kelly Butler, design manager at Brintons, a luxury carpet manufacturer.

“Its sound barrier properties are also perfect for busy households as surface noise is reduced dramatically,” she says.

But there’s no need to wave goodbye to those wooden floors that have ruled the roost for so long.

You can still follow the craze for carpet by taking a ’mix and match’ approach. Select an area which you ’zone’ or define with carpet - a dining area or seating area which will have the benefit of giving you islands of luxury.

Rugs, the classic decoration for hard floors, are still playing their part, and have paved the way for carpet’s renaissance.

LIGHT AND BRIGHT: Sisal flooring, from £52 per square metre, Kersaint Cobb and, right, Kingsmead polyester carpet in Paloma turquoise, £19.99, Fun On The Floor If you feel floored by the selection of carpets and natural floorings available, here’s some advice.

Pattern Power

Using pattern brings impact to a room, and can be complemented by subtle, plain furnishings.

“Contrary to popular belief, pattern can actually make a room look bigger as the eye perceives more content,” says Kelly Butler.

“Do remember that light colours for floors as on walls will make a room seem larger, while dark colours will make it seem more cosy and intimate.”

Carpet Choices: Step lightly into pattern with subtle florals from Brintons, including Chrysanthemum in Crimson, £63.83 per square metre, and Eggplant Rosette, £55.66. All Brintons carpets have at least 80% wool.

Go retro with a swirly pattern, Rococo, £66.39 per square metre, or pick up on plaid with Border design, £63.83 per square metre.

Step Into Stripes

These are emerging as the most popular pattern for the floor, according to Roger Oates, whose company specialises in runners for stairs and halls.

“Stripes are timeless but they can have a contemporary edge depending on the colour combinations used.

“You can be bold with widths and colours, to create drama, or use fine lines for a more classic or subtle effect. Used on stairs they can look stunning set against old oak or even stone.”

They can also be a boon in smaller rooms, points out Mike Richardson, general manager of Kersaint Cobb.

“Linear stripes can help to enlarge the appearance of a room, and this is especially effective in hallways as the stripe draws the eye along the design and appears to elongate the area.”

Carpet Choices: A Kingsmead carpet in Impact Plum stripe, in polypropylene, £9.99 per square metre, from Fun On The Floor would make a punchy statement.

Alternatively, turn stairs into stunners with a Newbury Crimson striped runner, £108 per square metre from Roger Oates.

Colour up

“People often think about using colour for walls and accessories, but using a bright coloured carpet can make such a bold style statement and instantly enliven a dull room,” says George Clarke.

“Make it dramatic by contrasting with neutral walls and pick out the colour in accessories.”

Deep, rich-coloured carpets also add instant warmth to rooms, says Mike Richardson.

“Classic colours such as red or blues will always bring a designer touch,” he says.

“We’re also seeing a big increase in vibrant shades, as people recognise flooring’s an easy route to mastering the trend for really strong colours without having to change furniture or accessories.”

Carpet Choices: Banish winter gloom with sunny shades such as turquoise in Kingsmead polyester carpet in Paloma, £19.99 per square metre, or a girly lipstick pink in Domo Sapphire carpet, £14.99 per square metre, both from Fun On The Floor.

Welcome spring early with rich green shades. Kersaint Cobb’s Designer Sisal flooring, one of the hardest wearing of the natural floor coverings, starts from £52 per square metre and is available in a zingy lime green.

Alternatively B&Q’s impressive new carpet range includes a deep sea green luxury waterproof carpet, £29.98 a metre.

Neat and neutral

Neutral, pared-back shades are still the most popular choice for rooms, as they allow versatility in a room scheme. Their plain good looks allow texture to be the hero, with boucle, herringbone, sculpted designs or even shag pile, that Seventies favourite, reprising its popularity.

Wilson Business Centre, Wilson Road, Huyton Opposite Travis Perkins by Beesley & Fildes

If you want to be on trend, be aware that those traditional gold and beige tones are giving way this year to greys, taupes and stone shades.

“If you’re finding it difficult to decide on a colour, be inspired by a favourite accessory or piece of furniture for your carpet colour,” says Andrea Maflin. “That way you won’t be disappointed in the end result and you’ll know it will tone with your scheme.”

Carpet Choices: Natural floorings made from plant fibre are increasingly finding favour and can be fitted like carpet or used as a room square, rug or runner and come in beautiful neutral shades.

Kersaint Cobb’s Coir, made from coconut shells, is available in a subtle Panama shade from £13.20 per square metre. For more formality and luxury, its wool Pampas Herringbone carpet is from £47.50 per square metre.

B&Q’s Sancerre carpet comes in a rich coffee shade, £29.98 per square metre, but if you’re really brave and never allow dogs or children over the threshold, an elegant choice for a bedroom or low tread area is a Domo carpet made from Polyamide, in Palace white, £29.99 per square metre, from Fun On The Floor.

Lay down the law

“Wool is ideal for living rooms, as it’s soft and has durability and springiness,” says Mike Richardson.

“Sisal, seagrass and mountain grass all have smooth fibres and offer a crisp, neat effect. Coir is suitable for those seeking a rougher, more casual look, while jute is the softest of the natural floorcoverings but is less hard-wearing and more absorbent.”

Man-made carpets include acrylic, polyester, polypropylene and nylon, which is the most hard-wearing.

Always have new underlay fitted before laying your carpet, as it will wear more evenly and increase its life by up to 40%, advises trade body The Carpet Foundation.

Take a tip from interior designers: Get a sample of carpet that you can take home and view in different lights before you make a final choice, and always have a room professionally measured if you’re choosing fitted carpet to avoid an expensive mistake.

... to home improvement How to... get more from your boiler

DIY News MOST men won’t be able to ● do DIY in just a couple of decades because they’re more

interested in technology than getting their hands dirty, according to research by AA Home Emergency Response.

The group surveyed 2,000 men and discovered that just 55% of under-35s were able to do a DIY challenge.

This led it to believe that by 2030, fewer than 20% will be able to do simple home-improvement jobs such as painting. On this evidence, there’s only one way forward: It’s up to you, ladies.

●

If you’ve got lots of DIYing to do, the latest addition to Stanley’s range of hammers is one you’ll want in your toolbox.

Double-forged out of one piece of steel, the FatMax Curved Claw 1-Piece Antivibe Hammer is a pleasure to use, thanks to the long, ergonomic and rubberised handle.

The strike face is 75% larger than on previous models, which reduces the risk of a miss hit, and the narrow claw enables you to get into tight spaces to remove nails.

But perhaps best of all, the handle dampens vibration during impact - it’s five times

INEPT: John Cleese demonstrates his lack of DIY ability on TV – a failing said to be mirrored by many British men more shock absorbent than a hammer with a wooden handle - and, yes, the difference is noticeable. For dedicated DIYers, this is a big plus.

The FatMax Curved Claw 1-Piece Antivibe Hammer is priced from £24.52 for the 16oz version. For more information, visit www.stanleytools.co.uk

● Got a hot-water cylinder in your airing cupboard?

Well, the cylinder will stay hotter for longer with an insulation jacket. Fitting a new 75mm cylinder jacket will save you around £35 a year, according to the Energy Saving Trust, but it will only cost about £10. ● To fit a cylinder jacket, remove it from the packaging and allow the insulation to fluff out.

When it has expanded, tie one of the jacket’s straps around the cylinder towards the top – and slide one panel underneath and up to the top of the cylinder.

Do this with all the panels and once they’re roughly in place, thread the tops with the cord provided and tie-in place around the pipe at the top of the cylinder. Ensure the panels are evenly spaced and then secure the other straps, but don’t make them too tight. ● Even if your cylinder is already insulated, you could save money by removing the existing jacket and fitting a new, thicker one - do this if the jacket is less than 75mm thick. If your cylinder is relatively new, it should have built-in insulation, but check with the retailer or manufacturer if you’re not sure. ● If your boiler also has a cold-water tank, this will usually be in the loft. The loft floor should, of course, be insulated, but not the area under the tank because heat rising up from below will help to prevent the tank from freezing. ● To insulate it, fit a cold water tank jacket, available from DIY stores, which you just slot over and secure in place. If your tank isn’t a standard size, homemade solutions will do just as well.

One option is to tie loft insulation around the tank with string and cover the top with a polystyrene sheet.

Alternatively, clad the whole tank in polystyrene sheets, again securing them in place with string.

Make sure the sheets extend down to the floor, especially if the tank is raised, and cut out holes with a craft knife for the pipes. Loft insulation is available in sheet form, so you could use that instead.

Whatever you use, make sure you can get at the top of the tank in case of problems.

If you have a flat roof and you can access it safely, check regularly that it’s draining properly and the guttering’s not blocked with leaves and other debris.

ENTHUSIASTIC: Linda Barker

H

ER name is synonymous with interior design.

Whether it’s from 60 Minute Makeover, the famous Changing Rooms or even a famous sofa advert.

Think ‘homes’ and the name Linda Barker immediately springs to mind.

It is no surprise that Linda has been chosen as an ambassador for the Ideal Interiors, sponsored by Dulux, section at this year’s Ideal Home Show at Earl’s Court, London.

Linda will be at the show in person with a series of demonstrations and seminars offering practical advice on home interior products, styling, design and the latest trends, as well as top tips to create your ideal home.

She says: “A well designed home can make our lives better and this year is particularly about creating that cosy home style feel.

“We’ll be looking at strong, bold statement colours but not simply a statement wall, more about how to combine those colours and patterns.

“Eclectic is the buzz word of the moment. Mis-matched everything and crazy colours – but it’s a tough look to pull off.’

There will be a host of exhibitors. leading brands and a real collection of home advice at this year’s show, and Linda will be on hand to share her knowledge.

She went into interior design after going to art college where she studied fine art.

“I was looking for a career that was creative as well as being one that could pay the rent. Interior design fitted the bill,” she says.

She has even ventured into property development: “I wouldn’t say I was a developer but it’s fabulous being able to work alongside talented developers as their main interior designer.

“I manage my own small portfolio of developments alongside my husband as we are inevitably drawn towards the property market.

“It’s a fascinating business, not without its risks, but we are careful and we are in it for the long term.”

Among the advice Linda will be sharing in these tough times is how you can re-vamp your home without spending a fortune – or having major disasters.

She says: “Always have a go yourself to save money, but be realistic about your own set of skills.

It might be better in the long run to pay someone to do a job for you.

“Hanging wallpaper though is something we can all do but give yourself time and go slowly. Painting is another rewarding job but remember 75% of a job is about the preparation.

“Take a job slowly and don’t scrimp on low grade materials. Shop around for deals and always get price comparisons, use the internet – it’s your most valuable resource.”

While Linda always practices what she preaches, she admits things can sometimes go wrong – like on 60 Minute Makeover.

She says: “On my last one the ornate mahogany wardrobe top and base were sawn off in order to get the furniture up the staircase! We glued it back but it was a scary moment.”

But not as scary as the Q&A we put to the top designer: What’s your favourite season and how does this affect the way you see and live in your home?

Spring. Fresh green colours are immediately uplifting and reviving. I long to take off the wintery layers around my home, the faux fur throws and dark bed linen and freshen the colours up with whites and creams.

What makes an ideal home What are your home comforts?

My sofa is the place I go to relax and find instant comfort.

Do you have an essential item in your house that you simply can’t live without?

My bed. It has lovely Egyptian cotton sheets that make it heavenly.

What’s your favourite room in your house and why?

My kitchen, it’s where I get to be creative in a culinary way as an escape from the emails at the end of a day. I love to cook for friends.

What makes a house a home?

Love.

What’s the most expensive item in your house, which would go with you even if you moved?

My home gym What does your home mean to you?

Security.

What makes an Ideal Home for you?

I like my home best when the cleaners have just left. Then I’m happiest.

ACCESSORISE: Union flags are going to be everywhere this year, says Linda

HELPFUL: Linda will advise on all rooms, from bedrooms to bathrooms

GUIDE ... to neighbourhoods Why live in... Ormskirk

Saturday, January 22, 2011

PRETTY AS A PICTURE: Sunset against the backdrop of St Cuthbert’s Church spire in Halsall, near Ormskirk. Inset, Church Walks in the town centre

O

RMSKIRK is a thriving market town, and to many of its residents it offers the best of both worlds.

A bustling town filled with shops and businesses surrounded by beautiful countryside – and all with great transport links to the rest of the North West, Ormskirk is a popular choice for people commuting to Liverpool, Chester and Southport.

There are a variety of house types found in the area, from terraced properties to apartments and mid-ranging semi-detached properties through to highend luxury detached homes with land.

The average property price for 2010 in Ormskirk was £200,000, which is below the UK average of around £246,000 – but this

figure is likely to rise during 2011, as indications suggest sales are on the up.

A traditional terraced property in Ormskirk recently sold for £100,000, while a detached property in Aughton near Ormskirk has just sold for £360,000. Highend properties with land can go for a million pounds plus.

The town is well served for amenities, with a selection of good schools in the area which all fared well in recent Ofsted reports. State-run Ormskirk School is in the heart of Ormskirk, with independent schools Kingswood College and Maharishi School of the Age of Enlightenment within a few miles.

Ormskirk has a thriving shopping culture, with the town’s bustling market the highlight of the shopping week. There are a number of

independent shops and boutiques, as well as the usual High Street offerings and a good selection of supermarkets including Morrisons, Tesco, M&S and Asda, all within a short distance of the town centre.

Ormskirk market has been in existence since 1286, when the monks at nearby Burscough Priory were granted a royal charter by Edward I to hold a weekly outdoor market.

More than 700 years later that very same market is still thriving. Held every Thursday and Saturday, the market has over 100 stalls stationed within the pedestrianised area in the heart of Ormskirk.

Home to hundreds of visitors each market day, it has become something of an institution with locals and visitors alike.

POPULAR: Ormskirk town centre is famous for its regular market

Time to wrap seeds Make a head start on your seed sowing by investing in a heated propagator. Hannah Stephenson looks at the varieties available and seeds you’ll need for the best results

I

F YOU don’t have a heated greenhouse and want to start your seeds off early to give you a head start on spring, it’s time to invest in a heated propagator.

Not only can you sow slow-growing tender perennials such as geraniums now, so they start flowering in time for summer, but you can sow seeds of houseplants, tuberous begonias and exotics such as birds of paradise First-year flowering perennials which can be sown early in heated propagators and then grown on in a greenhouse or cool room include achillea, helenium, echinacea, salvia and coreopsis. They can be hardened off in a sheltered spot in early May and planted in their final position a couple of weeks later.

Garden centres, mail order and online retailers offer a wealth of heated propagators of different sizes and prices can vary enormously, so it’s worthwhile doing some research into exactly what conditions the seeds you want to sow need.

“Check whether the heated propagator has a thermostatic control which will control the temperature more constantly and click off if the room temperature becomes too warm,” says Richard Gianfrancesco, head of research at Which? Gardening, the Consumers’ Association magazine.

“This is important because windowsill temperatures tend to be unstable, in that they might have sun for part of the day and be cooler at other times.”

Cheaper propagators tend to have one or two settings, such as cool and warm, irrespective of indoor temperatures, which means that the propagators have to be monitored more carefully to ensure temperatures inside them don’t become too high.

Think carefully about the seeds you are going to sow in a heated propagator, Gianfrancesco advises.

If you want to grow tomatoes, cucumbers and courgettes which you are expecting to grow on in the greenhouse in summer, you can sow them early in heated propagators.

If, however, you want to plant tender veg outside, think about timing.

Courgettes, melons and sunflowers, for example, are traditionally sown late and can’t be planted out in the garden until the end of May or beginning of June, so they won’t benefit from being germinated in a heated propagator early because you’ll still have to keep them indoors.

COVERED UP: The Garland Triple Top Electric Windowsill Propagator, £26 However, seeds which take a long time to germinate, such as chillies and sweet peppers, are ideal to start off in a heated propagator. But be aware that tender plants will need to be kept indoors for weeks after being potted on, so you’ll need enough space to keep them in your house or in a frost-free greenhouse or conservatory until the weather is warmer.

A recent heated propagator test by Which? Gardening found its best buy to be a Stewart Heat & Grow Thermostatic Propagator (£30 stockists 020 8603 5700, stewartcompany.co.uk), which switched off the heating element at higher room temperatures to stop the compost becoming too hot.

The Garland Triple Top Electric Windowsill Propagator, at £26 (01384 278 256, garlandproducts.com), also scored highly thanks to its ease of use.

Three separate units sit neatly in the heated base and offer great versatility. For example, one fully closed for germination, another had the vents open for hardening off seedlings and one had its lid off for growing on. At just 18cm wide, it’s also ideal for a narrow windowsill.

As well as heated propagators, you can also buy warming mats which are placed underneath regular propagators and are suited to a narrow windowsill.

The trial concluded: “If your windowsill is likely to get warmer than 20C during the daytime, a propagator with a thermostat, such as the Stewart, is a good investment.

“The temperature inside the propagator is about 10 degrees higher than the room temperature. It would therefore be best suited to a cool room that doesn’t go above 10-15C during the day.” ◆

BACK OF THE NET: A fruit tree in early spring, protected by a green net (see Stone Fruit Care, below) and, above, a Stewart Heat & Grow Thermostatic Propagator, £30

Good enough to eat Stone fruit care

DON’T prune stone fruit including plums, peaches, nectarines or cherries now as you then open up the possibility of silver leaf disease entering the sap stream and eventually killing the tree.

If you’re going to prune stone fruit trees, do it lightly between April and June, when they start making strong growth, as the bleeding sap prevents the organism responsible for the disease invading.

Each spring mulch cherries, peaches and nectarines generously and in April give them a feed of general purpose fertiliser and water in dry spells in the summer.

When fruits begin ripening, protect trees from birds by draping them with netting.

If you have fan-trained trees, fix a wooden batten along the top of the wall or fence just above the plant and secure the netting to it, so you can drape it over.

up nice and warm What to do this week

3 ways to ...

Succeed with a kitchen garden

1 2

Create a site in full sun, with a free-draining loam soil which is easy to cultivate in spring.

Use raised beds where the soil is heavy, wet or clay, and avoid stony ground for root crops such as carrots and parsnips.

3

For a tidy veg patch, keep it small, selecting only the veg you’re going to eat and sowing small amounts every few weeks for a continuous supply.

Best of the bunch Crocus tommasinianus

THESE beautiful tiny gems, growing just 10cm (4in) high and 2.5cm (1in) wide, are among the earliest crocuses to bloom, with narrow, pencilshaped buds of pale

lilac on the outside, opening in the sun to reveal deeper lilac centres.

They are perfect for naturalising under shrubs or in grass, creating a carpet of

purple and can spread rapidly if they like the situation. They love poor, free-draining soil, particularly chalk.

Cultivars include C. tommasinianus ’Ruby Giant’, a vigorous type

with red-purple flowers and ’Whitewell Purple’, with purple wideopening flowers. Once the leaves wither and die, mowing will do no harm if you don’t cut the grass too short.

Corms can be planted any time in autumn or early winter if they’ve been stored in a cool, dark place. Plant them either in clumps of 20 or so bulbs, or in much larger drifts.

HOME

On the Market ●

NEARLY a third of couples are choosing to buy a home together as a sign of their commitment, rather than get married, a survey suggests.

Three out of 10 people said buying a property with their partner would remove the pressure on them to get married, or at least enable them to delay tying the knot, according to the Post Office.

More than half of people also said they would consider buying a property with their other half before they got married, rising to 67% among couples who were currently renting together.

But the research found there had been a generational shift in attitudes, with 66% of people aged over 55 saying they thought marriage was a greater commitment than buying a home, compared with just 50% of people aged under 34.

THE NUMBER ● of retired people unlocking money

from their home increased for the first time in three years during 2010.

According to new research, around 22,020 equity release plans were taken out during the year, up from 21,305 in 2009, and ending three consecutive years of decline.

But Key Retirement Solutions says while the number of plans taken out increased, the amount of money that was unlocked declined due to the increased popularity of drawdown plans.

Drawdown plans, which enable people to unlock money in stages as they need it, accounted for 74% of all equity release plans taken out during the year, up from 64% in 2009.

The increased uptake of drawdown plans contributed to the average amount people unlocked from their home dropping to £43,519, from £48,212 during 2009.

of the Week Affordable way to live in the dock of the bay

by JANET TANSLEY

T

HERE was a time when the dockside apartments were considered only for the rich and famous.

But luxury city centre living is within many more people’s reach as this great value property in North Quay, Wapping Dock reveals.

A very spacious ground floor apartment, with its own front entrance direct from the quayside, it has three double bedrooms, a super stylish bathroom with spa bath and an ensuite to the master bedroom.

The lounge/dining room is stunning and full of character and, indeed, the quayside apartment is surrounded by the atmosphere of the dockside and steeped in Liverpool’s maritime heritage.

Even more amazing is the price. It’s being sold by Venmore for £295,000.

Needless to say Joanna Hudson, residential sales IT’S A GRAND LIFE: The lounge/dining area at the stunning apartment manager at Venmore, reckons it is a really hot property.

Says Joanna: “This is a lovely ground floor apartment which has many attractive features, not least the barrel vaulted ceiling in the lounge.”

And she adds: “It is within easy access of Liverpool city centre but close enough to enjoy all the riverside amenities. This would be an ideal property for those looking for city centre liing with a difference.”

The property also benefits from secure under-croft parking. ◆ For further information contact Venmore on 0151 236 COOL: The flat from the outside and, right, the kitchen 4400.

Demolition day looms at Holly Vale

EYESORE: The building at Holly Vale is to be demolished this month

A DATE has been set for the demolition of a dilapidated former sheltered housing scheme – with the site to be used to provide new homes for the elderly.

The building on James Holt Avenue in Holly Vale, Kirkby has been empty for a year and demolition experts JP Tisdale will start knocking it down on January 24.

Cosmopolitan Housing Association purchased the site from Anchor Trust in March 2010 and hopes to

replace the old building with a new extra-care scheme for older people in the community.

Mike Pearmain, Project Manager with Cosmopolitan Housing Association, says: “We have successfully obtained planning permission from Knowsley Council and funding submissions have been made, which we are awaiting a decision on very shortly, so we can offer comfortable, safe and affordable homes for the older people in this area.

“The demolition of the building and clearing of the site will take approximately eight weeks, by which time we hope to have more news on the new development which will replace it.”

Local shop manager Elizabeth Fowell is just one of many who will be pleased to see the eyesore cleared away: “It’s been empty for quite a while and the vandals have been at it so it’s a bit of an eyesore now.

“I’m glad they’re taking it

down but we were sad when the sheltered flats closed down.

“A lot of the old people used to come in here for their bacon butties and we knew them all by name. If we didn’t see anyone for a few days we’d pop over to check they were okay or sometimes we’d help them with their shopping.

“I hope they can get to build this new place. It would be nice to have older people back in the community.”

OOK forward to a hasslefree move to a beautiful brand new home in Bromborough, Wirral, thanks to Redrow.

Dibbin Brook offers a choice of homes that look traditional on the outside but are bright and modern inside. And as many purchasers have an existing property to sell, the award-winning housebuilder is offering to help with its Mastermove service.

Designed to take the effort out of selling up and moving on, Mastermove enlists the help of local agents to sell a customer’s old home, enabling them to enjoy the fun side of moving without having to worry about the past.

Elaine Mounsey, sales manager for Redrow Homes (NW), said: “The range of quality-built family homes at Dibbin Brook means finding your dream home is the easy part; whereas finding a buyer for your current property may prove trickier. With that in mind we’re offering to assist our customers by working with local agents to market their home, with no cost to the client. We’ll monitor their progress and once they’ve found a buyer we’ll even pay their fees.”

Current availability at Dibbin Brook includes a selection of four bedroom homes in a choice of

For a great value new home in Liverpool… take a look at Lovell.

Aware of the growing number of first time buyers in Liverpool struggling to get onto the property ladder, award winning house builder Lovell is making its outstanding new homes even more affordable.

You could pick up the keys to your dream home in either Gateacre, Kensington, Garston or Childwall today for just 85 per cent of the price, and Lovell will fund the other 15 per cent through an interest free loan. In other words, you could own a brand new Lovell home for just £547 per month*.

The Lovell Shared Equity Scheme is designed specifically to help First Time Buyers get onto the property ladder and reduce their monthly repayments into bite sized chunks. With the scheme,

prices start from an amazing £76,458* for a 2 bedroom home at Kensington Square or £104,125 for a spacious, 3 bedroom family home at Woodlee Green. Elaine Taylor, Lovell North West Regional Sales Manager explains: “In the current climate this scheme is a lifeline for some people as it means you have smaller mortgage repayments and you only need a 5 per cent deposit. This isn’t to be confused with Shared Ownership, there’s absolutely no interest or rent to pay on the deferred amount and you have up to 10 years to pay it back.”

Lovell are offering the scheme on a variety of new homes in Liverpool including 3 bedroom homes at Church Fields in Garston and Woodlee Green in

Woolton, 2 and 3 bedroom homes at Kensington Square in Kensington and just released – a range of superb new 3 bedroom homes at The Oaks in Childwall and exclusive 2 bedroom bungalows at The Poplars in Childwall.

These modern, spacious energy efficient homes offer style and value in equal measure and a contemporary mix to suit everyone.

For more information about any of Lovell’s Liverpool developments, visit the Marketing Suites which are open Thursday - Monday (closed Tuesday & Wednesday), 10am - 5pm, or visit www.lovell.co.uk/newhomes

Elaine concludes “We can only offer Shared Equity on selected plots and selected developments in Liverpool for a limited period. We will operate on a first come first served basis so I’d advise anyone who wants to move to speak to an advisor straight away.”

*Monthly repayment and Shared Equity Price based on a full purchase price for a 2 bedroom apartment at Kensington Square for £89,950. Woodlee Green Shared Equity price based on a full purchase price for a 3 bedroom home for £122,500. Shared Equity Terms and Conditions Apply.

TRANQUIL: A street scene at Redrow’s New Heritage Collection, Cressington Heath

C

OMBINING the best of old and new, Redrow’s New Heritage Collection is proving popular with homebuyers on both sides of the Mersey.

Available at Cressington Heath in South Liverpool and Dibbin Brook in Bromborough, Wirral, the homes look traditional on the outside but are bright and modern inside.

Between the two developments there are five properties now open for viewing, showcasing all a brand new Redrow home has to offer.

Properties at both locations feature superb quality stylish kitchens, which benefit from the

convenience of integrated top brand name appliances. The Redrow standard specification also includes fitted wardrobes, built-in book shelves and outside lights. And in the bathrooms and en-suites there are quality fixtures and fittings, with a tile range that’s exclusive to Redrow.

Available at both developments, the three bedroom Warwick, with its traditional bay window and decorative door cornice, is a prime example of why the architecture of the Arts and Crafts movement has stood the test of time.
