NEW YEAR PROPERTY REVIEW market news

Are you thinking about

Time to review moving home this year? your mortgage

A

s the festive season is over and the New Year in full swing, it’s a popular time to think about moving to a bigger home or downsizing.

Moving home is one of the biggest decisions we make, so if you are looking to move how will you choose which property is the right one?

NHBC, the UK’s leading warranty provider and standard setting body for new build homes, has recently seen the number of new homes registered between September and November 2014 increasing by eight per cent on the same period in 2013.

With now more choice in the housing market than for the past several years, NHBC highlights how buying a new home can not only reduce costs but also benefit buyers when it comes to those finishing touches.

• A blank canvas – A new home comes free of decorating or DIY disasters from previous owners. In most cases, buyers can personalise their new home with a choice of kitchen units, floor coverings and tiling, and start from scratch in the garden too, designing and planting to suit their own tastes. A new home is also maintenance-free, meaning less time

spent on jobs around the house at weekends.

• Lower utility bills – New homes are built to high levels of energy efficiency, which reduces the amount of gas or electricity needed to keep the house warm. Research from the NHBC Foundation and Zero Carbon Hub revealed that new build homes built to 2013 standards could save more than £1,400 a year on their energy bills when compared to their neighbours in older homes.

• Chain free – Being part of a long property chain can be extremely stressful and often cause unforeseen delays. With a new home, there is greater peace of mind as no upward chain means a smoother and faster move.

• Ten-year Buildmark warranty – 80 per cent of new homes come with an NHBC Buildmark 10-year warranty, which currently protect 1.6million homes across the UK. Buildmark protects homeowners by providing: • Pre-completion insolvency cover – protection if a builder becomes insolvent after an exchange of contract.

• Builder cover for the first two

years after completion – the builder is responsible for putting right certain damage and defects.

• NHBC cover for years three to ten – insurance to cover the cost of putting right damage caused by defects in specified areas, such as damage to floors, staircases, roofs, drains, windows and doors.

• High levels of satisfaction – Results from the 2014 industry survey on customer satisfaction with new homes, facilitated by NHBC, found that 94 per cent of people surveyed said that they would buy a new build home again, with a similar proportion indicating they would recommend their builder to a friend.

• Better security – New homes come with security features as standard, including smoke detectors and robust locks on front and back doors.

And to meet the demands of modern lifestyles, electrical circuits in new homes are designed for even the most gadget-intensive families.

• Incentive schemes –The Government-backed Help to Buy scheme, along with some house builders operating their own buyer incentives, can make the purchase of a new home significantly more attractive.

I

f your New Year’s Resolutions included giving your finances a fresh start in 2015 then it may be an opportune moment to review your mortgage, according to local estate agency Connells in Torquay. With the start of the year continuing to see low interest rates and a level of unpredictability as to what the general election may bring, borrowers should take steps now to lock into a fixed monthly mortgage payment or, alternatively, look to cut their monthly mortgage outgoings.

“January is typically a time to review your finances and look to the year ahead to see if there are any savings to be made. It is certainly worth reviewing your mortgage regularly and seeing if there are any better products available to you,” says Mike Ashton, Senior Mortgage Consultant for Connells in Torquay.

“There is also ‘no time like the present’ as borrowers can continue to enjoy the low interest rates currently available, rather than face the prospect of any rate rises that may come in at some point in 2015. Additionally, remortgaging can also be arranged to finance home improvements, to fund the purchase of an investment property or to buy out a

Changes brought in in 2014 under the Mortgage Market Review have caught some buyers unaware but by being proactive and following a series of simple practical steps, potential housebuyers can make themselves more attractive to mortgage providers and that means not only getting a mortgage but getting a cheaper rate as well.

yourself mortgage fit.

“We are urging homebuyers, whether first time buyers or those further up the chain, to take a series of practical steps to make themselves more attractive to lenders,’’ he said. “Being mortgage fit not only means winning the race to buy the home they really want, it also means getting the very best interest rates.’’

He said there are a series of practical tips homebuyers can take to improve their credit score – the key factors that mortgage lenders will look at when deciding whether to offer a mortgage.

“Our top tips give customers the inside track on how these decisions are made and what action homebuyers need to take. Credit scoring can be affected by things that many people simply wouldn’t consider, such as missed payments to not being registered on the electoral roll.”

Paul said that lending criteria now also means that potential buyers need to provide a clear picture of their finances, something which will put them in the best position for a swift mortgage assessment and offer.

BARRATT HOMES TOP MORTGAGE TIPS Check your credit score First of all, check your score. You can do this easily online with the two main credit reference agencies; Experian and Equifax. Ensure all information is correct and if it isn’t, write to the agency and request that they change it. If you have a poor score, you will be able to start making changes to improve it.

Understand your limits If you have existing credit such as credit cards and loans, you must ensure that you keep up with the minimum repayments. If you are really struggling to pay, speak to your lender as this may show favourably on your credit score. Similarly try not to get too close to your credit limit, if you do, lenders may view this as ‘excessive’ debt.

Missed payments, County Court Judgements (CCJs) and defaulting on credit can be why up to a third of applicants are rejected for mortgage finance. A growing percentage of applicants are also being rejected for taking payday loans and betting patterns being evident on bank statements.

Be honest about your spending Be open and honest about what you really spend or are expecting to spend, this includes travel, pension, gym etc.

On any mortgage application provide a clear picture of your finances so the most accurate picture can be presented to a lender.

The family connection Details of your family’s credit score are not kept on your file, so long as you don’t have any joint finances. If you do, you are likely to be co-scored and this could stop you securing a mortgage. So if a family member, partner or housemate has a poor credit score, keep your finances rigidly separate.

This includes joint accounts and bills under both names.

It’s all in your history You may not realise, but as many as 1 in 10 house hunters looking to buy a

home - have no credit history. They are often viewed as less credible as lenders have no information to base their decision on.

Although you should never get in debt to build up a credit history, by taking out a credit card and using it regularly (ensuring you pay off the bill at the end of the month with a direct debit) you will begin to build a credit history. Another good way to build your score is by taking out a mobile phone contract.

Get on the electoral roll PAUL MO RAN: MA You should try to show lenders that NAGING D BARRATTS IRECTOR, you have a ‘stable’ lifestyle, for example you are in full-time employment and live at a fixed address.

2014 was another successful year

BRIXHAM

Devon homebuilder CAVANNA HOMES reports 10 per cent increase in annual turnover and record recruitment

T

orquay-based family homebuilder Cavanna Homes has recorded another successive year of growth with a ten percent increase in both annual turnover figures and in staffing levels. Annual figures released by the company show a turnover in 2014 of £35.9million from the sale of 165 open market and social homes and revenue from the sale of land on the outskirts of Paignton to supermarket Aldi. In 2013 the third generation family business produced a turnover of £32.2million.

Cavanna Homes now employs 102 staff from its headquarters in Nicholson Road, Torquay and has taken-on four apprentices in the past year who will learn their trades from skilled contractors while studying at South Devon College. A further 200 local tradesmen and contractors are currently working on seven new homes developments across Devon including Fusion at Paignton, Kings Field at Kingskerswell, Aspects at Dawlish, Horizon in Budleigh Salterton, Origins in Dartington and £504,000 and The Boatyard in Plymouth.

Reflecting on the company’s performance over the past 12 months, Managing Director Eugene Rapson said; “Although it’s been a successful year, it hasn’t been without its problems and challenges; from the extreme wet weather last spring which affected the progress of all development work, to the challenges of getting materials,

NEW DEVELOPMENT: MORE CAVANNA HOMES COMING SOON

particularly bricks, as the rate of homebuilding increased nationally to meet demand.”

Mr Rapson added: “There was much London-based comment about a housing bubble in 2014 but this is simply not the case in most of Devon where price increases have been modest. Although our sales and turnover have been healthy, the second half of the year was quieter. We are, however, poised for a successful 2015 with all our sites already open to be able to build over 200 new homes.”

Growth in 2015 and beyond has been secured by gaining planning consents

for new homes in a range of attractive locations including Dartington, Blackawton and Stoke Fleming in the South Hams, Holsworthy in Torridge, The Pines and Primrose Hill in Torquay, Rockbeare and Seaton in East Devon and South Brent in the Dartmoor National Park.

In 2014 the company collected its second consecutive 5-star House Builders Federation (HBF) Award – making it one of only 18 homebuilding firms nationwide to hold the much coveted top award for customer satisfaction, as voted by their homebuyers.

Residential property market came out of the doldrums

014 was generally acknowledged as the year the residential property market finally came out of the doldrums.

Nationally the number of sales is expected to exceed one million transactions for the first time since the “crash” of 2007/2008.

Jonathan Bye, director of Eric Lloyd & Co, is delighted to be able to report that the final analysis of Eric Lloyd & Co’s own sales results show a similar trend with the number of properties being sold in 2014 exceeding the number sold in 2013 with over £40 million worth of properties sold during the year.

A look at the individual values shows an overall annual increase of five per cent in the average value of the properties sold. Jonathan commented that “this increase demonstrates the continuing underlying

strength of the property market in the South Devon area.

Properties have been sold across the whole market place from flats at prices below £100,000 to outstanding homes with price tags in excess of £500,000.”

“The recent reforms to Stamp Duty can only be of benefit to the majority of home buyers in the Torbay area.

An area particularly badly affected by the old regime was properties in the £250,000 - £275,000 price range.

The new structure removes the old pinch point at £250,000 with increased activity being anticipated in the coming months.

However for those selling setting a competitive asking price at the outset will continue to reJONATHO N BYE: ER main crucial, maximum interest IC LLOYD & CO is always generated when a property first hits the market.”

Demand still strong for residential property in the port CHRIS MITCHELL, manager of Bradleys Estate Agents thinks there has never been a better time to invest in Brixham

F

riends of mine asked me over the festive season why they should move to Brixham? My response was why wouldn’t you? A picturesque harbour, an array of boutique shops and restaurants, stunning coastal walks, plenty for the family to do all year round… what’s not to like?

Currently living in the South East they are looking to make the move in the next two years and escape the hustle and bustle of the capital.

The town has seen much investment over the last five to six years from the £20million pound investment in the fish quay to new restaurants and trendy pubs opening such as The Old Market House, The Manor and The New Quay Inn. The latest restaurant “coming soon” to Brixham is Rockfish, owned and run by celebrity chef Mitch Tonks.

In 2014 we saw the property market in Brixham come out of the doldrums and really kick in to life with demand for property being at its highest since 2007, particularly those with sea and or harbour views. A good example of this demand is the new development The Cove at Fishcombe, we launched 34 new units in early April and were all sold out by the end of the year. A combination of correct pricing, good views and excellent marketing saw huge enquiry levels converted into sales.

For anyone looking to move into Brixham there is something going on in the town virtually every

month, Pirate Festival, BrixFest, Fishstock, Hap‘nin in the Park, late night Christmas Shopping, Sunday markets, Steam Rally the list goes on. Plenty for all the family to get involved with.

From my time managing an office in the Teignbridge area I know that poor transport has often been a negative factor for people wanting to buy in Torbay with buyers stating that they didn’t want to spend an hour trying to get through Kingskerswell. In December 2015 Torbay will benefit from much improved transport links in the form of the Kingskerswell Bypass thus alleviating this problem.

So with plenty of investment having already taken place and more to come, strong demand in the property market, lots for all to do in the town, plenty of excellent eateries, beautiful coastal walks and better transport links at the end of 2015 why wouldn’t you want to buy in Brixham – it is ‘The jewel in Torbay’s Crown’.

2014 turned out to be the best year on record for the Bradleys Brixham office, ably supported by Bradleys dedicated customer service team, which resulted in Bradleys Brixham winning the coveted Office of the Year Award for the first time.

NEW YEAR PROPERTY REVIEW happy movers GRAHAM AND JULIA FERRIS, both in their 60s and both born in Falmouth, Cornwall, have been married for 44 years. The couple recently moved to Preston with help from local estate agents Barbets, they tell property editor Tracy Gwynne why they love living here

Retiring to the Bay is an exciting adventure G

raham said, “For the last 31 years we lived in a bungalow in Penryn, Cornwall, just two miles from Falmouth.

“Our only son and his wife have lived in the Torquay area for the last 18 years having moved here for work.

“Since our grandson was born, seven years ago, we have been driving up to visit them every two or three weeks.

“At the beginning of last year we decided to put our bungalow on the market and look for somewhere similar in the Torbay area.

“We sold within a week and set about finding a comparable property. Julia spent many weeks searching online. We were only prepared to move if we found exactly what we wanted.

“With the information and photographs shown online and also using Google Earth we were able to discard properties which at first appeared suitable.

“We drove up to view one property which was suitable but our offer was not accepted.

“A week later we found exactly what we wanted through Barbets.

“A viewing was arranged and within minutes of entering the bungalow we knew it was right for us. It was in excellent condition and we were able to move in without the hassle of redecorating, etc.

“Our offer was accepted and we moved in October last year.

“Throughout the sale the staff at Barbets, and Bryan in particular, could not have been more helpful.

“Having lived in Cornwall all our lives we were both apprehensive about coping with the busier lifestyle that is inevitable in a large conurbation.

“We need not have worried as we both love it here. There is so much to do and so many places to explore within easy reach. We both love walking, and from our home in the Preston area of Paignton we can walk to the beach in 20 minutes or be in Paignton town centre in 25 minutes.

“The area is extremely well served by buses and we have already visited Exeter, Plymouth, Totnes, Newton Ab-

bot and Brixham.

“Looking back we both now feel that life was passing us by in Cornwall and our move to Paignton is proving to be an exciting adventure. “ The most important thing is that we are only 10 minutes by car from our family and were able to have them with us for Christmas for the first time.

“We were also able to take our grandson on the Santa Express to Kingswear and to see the excellent pantomime "Aladdin" at the Palace Theatre in Paignton.

NEW YEAR PROPERTY REVIEW gardening

Housebuilder creates a buzz with new partnership O

ne of the region’s leading housebuilders has joined forces with British skincare company Bee Good to highlight its support of, and the importance of bees.

Both David Wilson Homes and Bee Good are active supporters of our British bees and will be working together to encourage more people to become bee-friendly and promote the next generation of beekeepers.

David Wilson Homes already ensures all of its gardens and open spaces are planted with bee-friendly flowers, trees and bushes and now skincare products from Bee Good will be featured in showhomes at its Canes Orchard and The Moorings developments in Plymouth.

Bee Good produces a range of award-winning natural skincare

the company was delighted to be taking a bigger role in the efforts to encourage more people to become bee-friendly.

“People are starting to realise the importance of bees and we’re seeing growing support for a wide range of initiatives to help them thrive,’’ he said.

“Bee Good produces an amazing range of products and we’re delighted to be able to showcase just some of these in our showhomes.’’

Bee Good founder Simon Cavill has been a beekeeper for more than 10 years and as an active member of the British Beekeepers Association he is also involved in teaching youngsters about beekeeping.

“All types of bees in the UK have been in steep decline for

products using the precious by-products of Britain's beehives; British wildflower honey, propolis and beeswax.

Launched in April 2014, Bee Good’s products are now stocked in 97 Waitrose stores and available online at www.beegood.co.uk and www.urbanoutfitters.com David Wilson Homes managing director Paul Moran said

Garden designer, broadcaster and Chelsea gold medal winner CHRIS BEARDSHAW looks at the trends we are likely to see in Britain's gardens this year

Beardshaw sows ideas for

new gardening trends T

he weather is going to be the telling factor in garden design trends this year, thanks to several years of excessively wet weather and flooding.

So says award-winning garden designer Chris Beardshaw, co-presenter of BBC2’s Great Garden Revival, who is currently planning his forthcoming ‘Healthy Cities’ show garden with first-time RHS Chelsea Flower Show sponsor Morgan Stanley.

“There’s a real awareness of the challenges of the weather,” he says. “We’ve gone through that period where we thought it was going to get hotter and buying phormiums and cordylines and then finding that the winter killed them.

“People are going back to much more resilient planting types. There’s a real resurgence in shrubs. The last few decades have been about herbaceous perennials and grasses and I think a lot of people are now much more interested in combinations.

“We often put shrub roses with clematis and an underscore of bulbs to give the three hits of interest. People are becoming aware that one plant doesn’t necessarily cover all bases and are adopting a more refined approach to planting.”

Plants such as phillyrea and deciduous rhododendrons, which provide masses of interest through a long season and little maintenance, may become more popular, he predicts, while we are moving away from ‘static gardens‘, low-maintenance, minimalist plots which don’t change through the season and are lacking in personality.

“People want the garden to respond to the seasons – and the plants have to respond to that.”

“The bubble of ‘grow your own’ has burst,” he continues. “After a couple of dodgy weather seasons, most people are now realising that growing fruit and veg is not as easy as it might seem and, as a consequence, are becoming more selective of what they grow.

“Rhubarb is becoming fantastically popular because it is so easy to grow, along with fruit like damsons and gages

PHILLYREA LATIFOLIA: MAY BECOME POPULAR

which can be planted as hedging or put in a wild area of the garden and will largely look after themselves.

“Likewise, with vegetables, we will take into account the amount of time and space our choice uses up. So things like cut-and-come-again salad leaves, which cost a lot in the shops, will continue to be popular as they are easy to grow and give great rewards.

“Gardeners seem to be more savvy than previously, perhaps because of the wealth of information available on plant sites on the internet, and want more bang for their buck when buying plants,” he says.

“We are keen to see plants working hard, which is perhaps a symptom of gardens getting smaller. We are looking at more high intensity planting.”

Purple is likely to be the colour of choice this year, he predicts.

“The colour that everyone wants to be in their garden this year is purple. I think there’s an opulence and generosity of purple, when you think of the purple bearded iris or Tulipa ‘Black Knight’. But I think a garden filled only

many years, mainly due to the excessive use of pesticides and the removal of habitat such as hedgerows and wild flower meadows.

“By supporting British bees through the work Bee Good does and through initiatives such as this one with David Wilson Homes, we are ultimately supporting the UK environment as a whole as well as ensuring that our food supply of native fruits and vegetables remains intact.”

with purple would be a rather sombre place. You need a twist. With dark purple tulips, for instance, I would use scillas and white camassias underneath.”

People may think that traditional bedding has gone out of fashion, yet Chris notes that according to a recent report from the horticultural industry, the number of people buying bedding plants is at an all-time high.

“However, we’re not buying them in the same quantities that we were buying previously, which indicates that we are using them very advisedly in hanging baskets, containers and patio tubs, giving an instant blast of hard-working colour. What we are not doing is filling beds and borders with them in a kind of park bedding scheme way.

“We are becoming much more knowledgeable about the range of bedding plants. The bedding craze is still on but it’s about getting much better value out of those plants and being advised to use them in very specific ways.”

As for furniture, plastics may have come a long way with robust, stylish all-weather garden sets, along with weather-protective coatings on metal furniture, but Beardshaw says that wood will remain popular.

Gardeners are also becoming more adventurous with lighting, he observes, as IRIS FLO WER: OPU more sophisticated LENT outdoor lighting comes on the market.

“Now, lights are easy to install and the power of them is great. You can get different coloured lenses for your LED lights and also buy units that will adjust the temperature of the lens, which will change as natural light levels rise or fall.”

SKIMMIA JAPONICA hese tough evergreen shrubs are brilliant on every level. They give you colour and texture all year round but they come into their own in winter, producing dense clusters of pink buds which open to reveal aromatic white flowers above glossy, dark green leaves.

You’ll need to grow male and female plants together if you want the female plants to bear red berries, but if you only have room for one, go for the hermaphrodite S. reevesiana, which will self-fertilise and produce berries.

Skimmias are great for the front of large shrub borders and thrive in neutral or acid soil, growing up to 1.2m, depending on the variety.

Popular females include ‘Veitchii’ and ‘Bowles’ Dwarf Female‘, while males to try include ‘Fragrans’ and ‘Rubella‘, which carries red flower buds all winter. They will thrive in partial shade in any well-drained, non-alkaline soil.

SOWING CHILLIES f you want to get a head start with some hot favourites you can start to sow chillies now indoors in a heated propagator or on a heated mat, which should produce stronger plants by the time the flowers appear in early summer. These plants have a long growing season so can be started off on a warm windowsill, with additional heat, or in the greenhouse or conservatory. They’re easy to sow – just fill a seed tray with peat-free compost and scatter the seeds thinly over the surface, placing them on a heated bench to germinate. By early summer you should have strong plants which will produce more fruits.

What to do outdoors this week * Enrich soil with compost where beans are to be grown * Continue to dig over borders and vegetable plots as conditions allow * Take cuttings from conifers * Order herbaceous perennials from nursery catalogues for delivery in the spring * Dust stored dahlia tubers with sulphur powder to discourage rot * If you have dug over a new area, cover the ground with a large sheet of polythene, weighted with bricks

around the edges, to keep off the worst of the winter weather and deter any weeds * Start to chit seed potatoes available from garden centres * Apply organic fertiliser such as blood, fish and bone, over beds and borders which will release their nutrients slowly over a long period * Order summer-flowering bulbs * As bulbs finish flowering indoors, remove the spent flowerheads and give them a dose of high-potash fertiliser before putting them in a sheltered spot outdoors.

A new year means new looks for rooms. GABRIELLE FAGAN reveals 2015's trends to transform homes

Latest trends burst on to the scene

H

omes - just like relationships suffer over time from familiarity, and once that early passion for decor and DIY has faded, rooms can end up sad, pale shadows of their formerly glowing, super-smart selves.

Who wants an interior that, while it may be as cosy as a pair of slippers, doesn't pack a punch in style terms and says nothing about your taste now? To stay fresh and appealing, it's good to shake things up every now and then and - timing is all - this year's trends have just burst onto the scene with plenty to inspire.

Lovers of all things neutral should look away now - colour, especially exotic, rich pink, is taking centre stage, sweeping away blandness with clashing shades and zingy hues.

If that's too adventurous, there's a charming botanical look featuring blooms, birds, and bees, or you could see things simply in black and white and embrace sophisticated, sleek monochrome.

Classic coastal's taken on board elements of global style, and the smart way to interpret this chic combined look is with leather chairs and chunky chests, and fashionable copper accessories - so that it's solid, swaggering and has almost a gentleman's club or captain's cabin feel.

Plump for whichever appeals, or take an element from each trend, and you could breathe new life into jaded schemes and fall in love all over again with your home...

SPRING GREENS Nature's still a hot trend, with rich greens and florals featuring on a variety of designs.

This look retains a hold on our rooms because of our continuing desire to 'bring the outdoors in', but this year, there's a variety of options to choose from. Gather bold, bright blooms or opt for the most sophisticated interpretation, which emulates pin-sharp accurate botanical designs, depicting flowers, foliage and insects, especially butterflies.

"We've taken inspiration from antique, botanical illustrations for our collection," says Claire Roberts, print designer at Marks & Spencer.

"One of my favourites features delicate nature - fern leaves mixed with an ultramodern black base, for a design which works effortlessly," DECOR TIP: A group wall display of botanical prints in matching frames is an easy fast-track to this look. Fern Print Wall Art, £55 for set of three, Marks & Spencer (available late January).

TRENDY BUYS: A Jolie Armchair, from £319.20, upholstered in striking Woodland Fern black linen is the gem at the heart of Marks & Spencer's botanical collection. I also like its Willow Natural Wallpaper, £18 a roll (available late January), with a subtle design of green parakeets and foliage.

Alternatively, simply bag a Bug Embroidered Cushion, £25, featuring a flight of butterflies. Villeroy & Boch have embraced this theme in its new Amazonia china collection, splashed with flowers, hummingbirds and butterflies. Espresso Cup & Saucer Set, from £18.95, Flat Plate, £66, Villeroy & Boch.

MASTER MONOCHROME Chic black and white is still the most striking way to update a room; this versatile scheme is a trend leader and works particularly well with Eastern touches in accessories or furniture.

"Simplicity is key for this graphic trend, which is grounded in a modern palette of black, white and grey," says Emma Mann, head of home design at Sainsbury's.

"Striking patterns on textiles and ceramics have a distinctly tribal feel, while brass and copper detailing lift the colour palette and add a subtle sense of luxury.

"Concrete, matte and gloss finishes are mixed throughout our collection to add depth to this sophisticated, fashion-forward look."

DECOR TIP: While white walls and black paintwork have impact, dressing windows with black blinds or shutters brings real drama. Hillarys has a selection of made-to-measure blinds and shutters in dramatic black (www.hillarys.co.uk).

TRENDY BUYS: One statement piece can set the scene, and Marks & Spencer's Nyako 3-Door Sideboard, £749, is a beauty - and what's even

SUPER SHORE Blend together perennially popular coastal style and the more edgy global/traveller style for an irresistible decor combination, appropriate for

any location, urban or seaside.

"Pure, simple and timeless, the old maritime look is a fresh interpretation of the classic geographical map-inspired style," says Ysanne Jenkins, executive director for home at House of Fraser.

PINK & PASTELS Colour goes pop this year, as punchy pinks and a parade of pastels battle for attention and look set to finally win over even those who've forsworn anything but neutrals.

"If you love pale colours and soft neutrals, you'll need to stay calm or buy sunglasses, as the colours that are coming through are bold, bright and even clashing," says Sarah Quilliam, head of product design for blind and shutter specialists, Hillarys.

NEW YEAR PROPERTY REVIEW DIY/home improvement Top tips for preventing damp in your home, and avoiding buying a damp-prone property, from MICHAEL PARRETT, leading UK expert on the investigation of dampness and failures in buildings.

Rising Damp no laughing matter

M

ichael Parrett, founder of the non-commercially affiliated Damp Diagnosis Consultancyhas worked for 40 years in land, property and construction.

Recently awarded an eminent fellowship of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), he first came to public notice through the success of the BBC2 series Raising The Roof; in which he established the misdiagnosis of dampness and the extreme rarity of rising damp caused by a damp proof course failure. The series was hailed as a piece of landmark journalism in exposing the widespread misdiagnosis of rising damp and concerns over the effectiveness of chemical damp proof course injection. Damp Diagnosis Consultancy now works with an extensive portfolio of industry clients on the independent investigation of dampness in buildings and complex major loss claims; the development of new diagnostic tools and techniques and the education and training of practitioners and homeowners both in the UK and worldwide.

Dampness in buildings is at best misunderstood and at worse completely misdiagnosed. You will often be told that dampness in the base of the walls is rising dampness caused by a defective damp proof course or that there is no damp proof course.

However, rising dampness due to a failed damp proof course is very rare.

So if it is not a broken damp proof course causing the dampness to rise, then what else could it be? Here are my ‘top ten’ common causes of rising dampness, all of which are exclusion clauses under a long term damp proofing guarantee. In a nutshell, if you read the small print on a long term damp guarantee you won’t find

them covered under such guarantees.

So it is very important to first check if a property suffers from any of these before taking the plunge to have a new chemical damp proof course injected. Chemical damp proof course injections may not solve a rising damp problem anyway!: High abutting external ground levels: Either at or above the line of the original damp proof course or at or above the level of the internal floor. As a guide, ground levels externally should be a minimum of 150mm below the DPC. Block cavity wall voids at low level: In the modern building era, cavity walls became a more popular form of construction, typically in buildings constructed from the late 1920s and early 1930s onwards. Although some Victorian coastal properties were also built with external cavity walls.

Leaking high level gutters and or rainwater pipes: These are a common cause of low wall based dampness especially where there are solid external walls; dampness is caused by over spilling gutters and rainwater pipes. These can become blocked from falling leaves and air born detritus and should be regularly cleaned at the end of each autumn and checked for any signs of defects. Excellent tips and advice on doing this safely are provided online by the Society For The Protection Of Ancient Buildings (SPAB), who each year run National Gutters Day in November for buildings of all ages: http://www.spab.org.uk/media-centre/press-releases/press-release/?ContentID=273 Physical blockages under suspended floors: Especially vulnerable are properties that have been converted or undergone a major

Blocked external vents to ground floors: To stop dampness below suspended floors there needs to be ventilation to the area below, to dissipate any build-up of moisture in the below floor void. Excessive moisture below floors can lead to low level dampness to the walls and eventual decay in the case of timber suspended floors.

Make the best of your home for winter sale

For winter sale

Property Sharing Experts ‘Top Ten Tips’ O 5 ur cold, wet winters brings their own set of issues to consider when preparing a home for viewings, so the Property Sharing Experts network of independent estate agents across the Westcountry has compiled a ‘Top 10’ to help sellers make the most of their home for a sale this season:

1

Make sure all the curtains and blinds are open to allow in as much light as possible and try to arrange viewings in daylight hours rather than in the dark – take advantage of your agent providing accompanied viewings, especially if you’re out at work during the day Turn all the lights on for viewings - even in cupboards and garages - and make sure you have a stock of bulbs so they can be immediately replaced. If you have garden lighting, switch it on at dusk for a welcoming glow and so the ‘For Sale’ sign is easy for passers-by to see Make sure there is parking close by – potential buyers won’t want to walk any further than they have to in the cold weather!

Make sure hallways and entrances in particular are kept clean and tidy – put away the family’s winter coats, scarves, hats and gloves, provide a rug or seat for viewers to easily wipe or remove their shoes and boots and keep the floor clean from any mud or residue from

2

3 4

wet shoes Windows are mostly left closed when it’s cold, which allows odours to develop and linger more easily, so try to restrict pets to certain rooms, avoid cooking dishes such as fish the day before a viewing and clean more often as dust settles more quickly. It may sound like a cliché but the smell of bread baking or a stew cooking is lovely and fresh flowers or plants can add colour as well as a wonderful scent Maintain a comfortable indoor temperature – not too hot as buyers are likely to keep their coats on during viewings. If you have an open fire, light it for a warm, welcoming feel. Empty properties can become prone to condensation mould and burst pipes at this time of year so an amount of heat and ventilation is paramount; clean out and keep clear any corners or alcoves showing signs of condensation mould to allow it to dry properly Offer potential buyers a warm drink – this encourages them to stay for longer, makes them feel comfortable, particularly on a cold day, and allows them to get a real feel for the property Keep gardens tidy, make sure paths and steps are kept clear of snow and ice for easy entry and keep paths, patios, greenhouses and decking clear of green algae and moss, which can build up at this time of year. Also, repair any storm or weath-

er damage as soon as possible And make the most of time spent indoors on cold, wet days: De-clutter to make your home feel bigger. Box up some of your favourite knick-knacks and either give old items to charity or make extra money by selling unwanted items in the local newspaper, by auction or on classifieds web sites such as Gumtree or Preloved . And do some easy DIY jobs - give tired rooms a new lease of life with a lick of paint or replace mouldy old sealant in kitchens or bathrooms for those all-important fresh finishing touches.

NEW YEAR PROPERTY REVIEW new homes

Find the perfect location in Newton Abbot

R

edrow is inviting househunters in Devon to find out more about its three Newton Abbot-based developments and discover their brand new dream home.

Howton Rise, Stanbury Meadows and Moorland Reach are all perfectly located within easy access of the town’s amenities and offer a wide selection of beautiful new homes from Redrow’s Heritage Collection.

Howton Rise and Stanbury Meadows offer a fantastic balance of country and town living. Just under two miles from the centre of Newton Abbot, these locations are perfect for growing families or those with older children. Howton Rise offers a selection of spacious four bedroom homes available from £304,995 and the location means that there are plenty of opportunities for children to have an independent lifestyle and parents to enjoy a peaceful setting. Similarly, Stanbury Meadows provides a range of two, three and four bedroom properties starting from just £259,995.

RETAIL UNIT, LOCATION, £000,000 Agents: Agent, town, phone, web address

The rural landscape of South Devon is on the doorstep, meaning that growing kids can let off steam in the open countryside, with Dartmoor only three miles along Ashburton Road.

What’s more, with three colleges in Newton Abbot, teenagers can benefit from an excellent choice of education too.

Just a short journey outside Newton Abbot is Moorland Reach, which benefits from being located between Newton Abbot and Kingsteignton and is only a brief walk from the picturesque River Teign. Kingsteignton, which formerly claimed to be the largest village in England, retains a community feel with the benefits of the shops, schools and amenities of a town.

The development is set to be home to a variety of two, three and four bedroom homes and, with prices starting from £209,995 for the three bedroom Broadway, this is a perfect location for first time buyers or those with young families.

NEW HOME: REDROW'S THREE BEDROOM BROADWAY PROPERTY

Annie Williams, area sales manager for Redrow (West Country), commented: “Howton Rise, Stanbury Meadows and Moorland Reach each offer different benefits for homebuyers, whether they are a first time buyer, a family or a couple looking to retire to the area. All of our sites have been picked to offer the best locations and access to local amenities and we

recommend visiting the sites to experience this for yourself.”

“Newton Abbot really is a beautiful part of the country to live in. Not only are you able to enjoy the town itself, with its convenient train station, historic buildings and racecourse, but you can also benefit from the enviable advantage of a short drive to the coast and the moors.”

To find out more about the homes at any of these great locations, please call the sales team at Howton Rise on 01626 438 010, Stanbury Meadows on 01626 439 496 or Moorland Reach on 01626 638 393.

A

n Englishman's home is his castle, or so the saying goes. But according to a new study from Rightmove, the majority of Britons wouldn’t pick a castle or even a mansion to be their dream residence.

It seems that for most of us, our ambitions are somewhat more mod-

est. If money were no object, the home that people would typically choose would be a detached house with three bedrooms, one kitchen, two living rooms, two bathrooms, a utility room and a garden.

Good transport links and having a pub within walking distance

were also found to be more important than being situated close to a park or a supermarket when choosing where to live.

Seaside locations were also popular, with St Ives, Poole and Brighton named as the most desirable places to

live. Edinburgh, York, Liverpool, Harrogate, Bristol, Cardiff and Dartmouth, were also popular choices.

Property website Rightmove made its findings from a survey of more than 2,600 people.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS!

First impressions are vital when a property comes to the market, both in terms of marketing, presentation and pricing. Maximum interest is generally generated in the first few weeks of marketing. A gallery of eye catching photos together with a floor plan provide the ideal marketing mix.

A ‘For Sale’ sign is very helpful in identifying the location of a property on the market when buyers are making a “drive by” assessment before deciding to view. The appearance from the road is also crucial for this drive by. During the stormy winter months this is particularly important, make sure any winter debris is cleared away and wheelie bins are not lying blown over in the garden! A warm welcome on a viewing is important. Walking through a front door into a brightly lit hall with the heating on is sure to get a viewing off to a great start on a gloomy January or February day.

Putting the lights on in every room before a prospective buyer arrives helps to make a home welcoming and more appealing to a buyer. Initial pricing is also crucial. It is an agent’s job to get the best offer possible for a property, taking into account both price and timescales. Starting with an excessively optimistic asking price can often lead to the need for price drops during the marketing process creating the wrong impression in the eyes of would be buyers. Too high an asking price is like fishing with a hook six inches above the water!

ettesworths are cautiously upbeat about the prospects for the South West property market in the year ahead. Business grew again in 2014 and the numbers of transactions were significantly up on the previous year. There is a general feeling of renewed confidence returning to the market. 2015 should be an even better year, but the General Election in May could provide some temporary uncertainty.

Bettesworths act for property clients throughout the Westcountry and this gives them a reliable measure of how the South Devon area is performing compared to the rest of the region. It appears that the growing confidence in the market in the Torbay, Teignbridge and South Hams districts, is as strong as any other part the South West. South Devon is considered by many to be one of the best areas of the West Country in which to live and work and this consequently creates a constant demand in all property sectors.

The Pub and Catering Division of Bettesworths enjoyed a very strong last quarter of 2014 with a high volume of transactions in Leasehold and Freehold pubs as well catering establishments. Sales included the well-known and popular Café on the Green at Widecombe, an iconic property sold to Edward and Liz Corwood from Ivybridge off a guide price of £400,000 to £450,000. Another landmark building, The Pen Inn by the new flyover at Newton Abbot on the A380, has also been disposed of by Bettesworths on behalf of major client’s Heavitree Brewery PLC. Following strong competitive bidding from three PLC companies, the property has been let to pub giant Mitchells and Butlers, who intend to develop the operation as a Toby Carvery. Other sales include Wooly’s Fish & Chip Restaurant in Paignton, two Coffee Shops in Teignmouth (Fresh Ground and Finley Browns) and the Victorian Times Tea and Coffee shop in Paignton. Looking forward to 2015, Bettesworths have already been instructed on some exciting business opportunities including The Weary Ploughman at Churston, The Rivershack at Stoke Gabriel, The Normandy Arms at Blackawton and The Black Tor Brewery in the Teign Valley, to mention a few.

The Hotels and Guest House Department also showed an increase in activity during the last Quarter of 2014, following a busy holiday season.

Sales included the prominent Oscars Hotel on Belgrave Road in Torquay, which having been closed, was purchased by a local couple for refurbishment ahead of the 2015 season.

There has been a substantial increase of the volume of enquires and viewings resulting in more offers from keen purchasers. This bodes well for the guest house and hotel selling season, which usually runs between mid-January and June each year. It is during this period when the majority

of guest houses and hotels sales in any one year take place. Many new owners who purchased guest house and hotel properties in 2013 and 2014 have carried out substantial improvements to the accommodation and fabric of the properties. This long term investment indicates ongoing confidence in Torbay’s tourist industry and helps create sustainable long term business while further raising the standards within the local holiday industry.

Comparing historic figures There are fewer numbers of guest houses and hotels currently on the market. However, there are some interesting businesses for sale including the highly rated Elmdene Guest House in Rathmore Road with its amazing Trip Advisor reviews, the well located Westbourne Hotel in Avenue Road, which is available having been refurbished. This hotel, in a great position being a short level walk from the sea front, offers good quality accommodation plus a swimming pool and guest parking.

Work has started to convert into high quality holiday flats, the semi-derelict County Hotel, prominently located on the corner of Belgrave Road and Falkland Road in the heart of “Torquay hotel land”. This development is both of benefit and relief to the surrounding Hoteliers as this removes an eyesore occupying such a prominent location. Bettesworths Hotel Department are pleased to provide marketing and valuation advice to Hoteliers thinking of selling in 2015 either before or after the summer season.

Stephen Lofthouse, who heads Bettesworths’ Property Investment Department reports continuing strong demand for all types of investment properties. Just before Christmas, the sale of a block of eight letting flats in Kernou Road, Paignton was completed. This ended a year during which a large number of established investment properties and vacant properties were purchased on a buy to let basis. Stephen commented that “Because of current low levels of interest rate and perceived stock market instability, property is seen as a safe and high yielding investment vehicle. We have a large number of registered investors who are in funds and ready to purchase. We have demand from investors looking for the smallest flat to major PLC investment companies with budgets of £2million plus”.

James Lofthouse reported continued demand from property speculators and builders looking to purchase property in any condition for refurbishment or development.

Bettesworths offer an ongoing service in this market, often after selling a property, the company is reinstructed by the purchaser to provide advice in respect of refurbishment and conversion ideas and subsequently re-sales. A recent example of this includes Greystones in Dawlish.

Bettesworths Auction Department

MATTHEW BETTESWORTH: MANAGING DIRECTOR, BETTESWORTHS

sold the property, which was in need of total refurbishment. Bettesworths advised the developer throughout the refurbishment, and as the property neared completion, marketing and valuation advice was given resulting in a quick sale with completion before Christmas.

In the general commercial markets, there has been an improvement in occupier demand across all sectors, resulting in sales and lettings throughout the South Devon Office, Industrial and Retail Sectors. High Streets and secondary retail locations are generally suffering less from the plague of long term vacancy, but there is still a long way to go to rebuild the retail sector. Disproportionate Business Rates remain an enormous challenge in this sector and despite Landlords often heavily discounting rents and offering flexible leasing terms, they are powerless to do anything to mitigate the unfair burden of the rates levy. Bettesworths are also dealing with an increasing number of non-retail high street occupiers including Healthcare and Leisure uses. Paul Bettesworth explained that, ‘’Non-retail occupiers are healthy additions to our high streets. They pull in footfall that might otherwise not have ventured into our towns. We need to cultivate a healthy mix of occupiers in our town centres to help them thrive again.’’

Union Square Shopping Centre in Torquay is under new ownership.

This is already paying dividends.

Paul added ‘’Union Square is finally seeing some investment and proactive asset management. We are talking to several national retailers, who are keen to locate into the scheme. This is likely to mean combining some smaller shops to meet the larger space requirement of these well-known retailers. Better news for Torquay!’’

South Devon’s industrial market is increasingly active after some difficult years. Paul continues, ‘’at the moment we are looking for new industrial instructions from the very small to the very large. We are in the frustrating positon of having occupier demand that we are struggling to place through a lack of available premises. This is certainly healthier than the other way round, but nevertheless Bettesworths would be delighted to speak to any South Devon and Teignbridge Landlords with available industrial space’ In summary, Bettesworths predict that 2015 should be another positive year for the property market in and around the South Devon area. Whilst caution is still required, the market is largely built on confidence which is now returning. Bettesworths wish all their clients, applicants and readers of the Herald Express a Happy New Year and they hope that 2015 will be a good year for all those in business in the South Devon area.

NEW YEAR PROPERTY REVIEW commercial property

Talking business

Time for some proactive

forward planning T

he Torbay property market had a pretty good year overall although it still lags behind competitor locations in a number of specific areas, writes Nick Wheeldon of Waycotts.

High Street retailing is still in the dumps and under pressure on a range of fronts, particularly new developments, the internet and a business rates regime which is not fit for purpose and which leaves investors to carry the can of the downturn as rents plummet.

Nevertheless, I detect seeds of a long term turnaround. Firstly, shoppers are more savvy now and are looking for products that match quality with price with personalised advice as part of the buying experience. These are things not obviously available on the internet and there is a growing resentment at goods sold on-line being sub-standard.

Increasingly, the trend will be for people willing to pay a premium to get a good experience and this represents an opportunity for high street retailers to demonstrate that’s what they are offering. We shouldn’t underestimate the public.

They are beginning to understand the smoke and mirrors of supermarket pricing and are realising that many shops branded as discounters are, in fact, selling goods at the right price.

The commercial property market enjoyed modest resurgence particularly in the hotel sector on the back of a good summer trading in 2013. It has since died away with fewer current transactions but could well pick up as we approach a new trading year buoyed by important infrastructure improvements around the Bay. For those considering acquiring a business in the hotel and leisure sector, now is a good time to act with many high quality properties on the market at very realistic prices.

The Torbay residential market continues to lag

behind in both average house price sales and in market growth. With the high end of the market that doesn’t trade as well as it should and a transient population and the bedroom tax see the buy-to-let market remain an attractive proposition. Remarkably, the growth in this sector is thought to have contributed to the UK falling behind France in terms of national percentage of homeowners for the first time.

The bedroom tax has also helped to kickstart the lower end of the market which in turn has started to filter to the higher price ranges and also revitalise interest in new developments.

Waycotts have been successful in marketing a new bespoke 11 unit development at Torbay Court in Chelston, Torquay on behalf of Egglestone Homes and have just launched their new 14 unit development of the former Seaford Sands Hotel in Paignton which is due for completion early this year.

Waycotts have also been favoured with instructions by Regal Heritage on Mulberry House in St Marychurch which is a new contemporary 4 storey development of 9 apartments and 2 Penthouses which are planned to be ready for occupation later this year These developments demonstrate an appetite for speculative investment and an improving market which has been bolstered by the Chancellor’s restructuring of Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) providing real savings for the core residential market in Torbay.

‘At home’ Waycotts came out of the High Street to set up in a prestige office suite on the Terrace in Torquay and we have been reaping the benefits ever since. We have reduced our fixed costs by two thirds; business has increased (fewer buyers need to visit agent’s premises thanks to the internet and those that do can park outside!), staff motivation has increased; noise and pol-

lution have decreased and we have a quality presence amongst Torbay’s professional community.

Which brings me to 2015. In my profession, the biggest change is the launch of Agents Mutual, a new property portal, to be run by agents for agents, which has received an outstanding level of support from the industry. By becoming a shareholder and in registering our properties with this new portal we are able to offer our clients an additional, new and what we firmly believe will be a highly successful national selling platform following its launch on 26th January.

I think that 2015 will be a pivotal year. My wish is to see more people support local businesses particularly in the retail sector and for Government, of which ever flavour presides in Downing Street after May, to set some proactive policies that will positively shake up the industry and to abandon the tradition of non-effective, on the hoof, reactive policy-making which entrenches an inert and unfair market.

The freehold interest on Crossful holiday apartment and and Teignmouth can offer.

“The business is competitively ways and Seaview Holiday Apartcottage business set in its own grounds of approximately one acre in the small hamlet of Maidencombe between Torquay and Teignmouth.

Crossways and Seaview Holiday Apartments comprise 10 self-contained en-suite holiday flats and studio apartments in a three-storey building with a further separate studio apartment, a semi-detached bungalow sleeping up to four people and two detached three-bedroom cottages.

The owner’s accommodation comprises an inner hallway, kitchen, dining room, lounge and two double bedrooms with a further studio-style lounge/kitchen/diner with wall bed and a separate one bedroom flat with en-suite shower both of which could be used for guest letting.

Waycotts Hotel & Leisure specialist, David Jenkins commented: “This is an exceptional property offering quality self-catering accommodation in a lovely rural landscape backing on to farmland and enjoying sea views from some of the accommodation.

“It is on the coastal path close to the sea with beaches, cliffs and a rocky foreshore ideal for exploring.

“It attracts those who enjoy out- SET IN ONE ACRE IN A SMALL HAMLET: CROSSWAYS, MAIDENCOMBE

ood news within Autumn Statement was the Chancellor’s extension of the Small Business Rate Relief scheme from April 1, 2015, and this can provide a significant benefit for small businesses who occupy commercial premises with a Rateable Value of less than £12,000. The Relief is not automatic and needs to be applied for, and application forms can be found on Local Authorities websites.

Any business that is eligible and has not applied is urged to do so, where significant savings and possibly rebates could be obtained.

The current Rating List is based upon the value of properties on April 1, 2008, so in many cases does not take into account reduced values post credit crunch. Initially, the plan was to re-value all properties in April 2015, and this could have reduced the rateable burden for many types of business property. However, some years ago the Government postponed this re-valuation, which is currently scheduled for April 2017.

However, April 1, 2015 still is a significant date for businesses, as any business who wishes to appeal the Rateable Value should make their appeal before April 1, 2015, as if successful, the reduction in Rateable Value can be backdated to April 1, 2010, often meaning businesses obtain a significant rebate in respect of rates already paid. Appeals made after April 1, 2015 will not benefit from this backdating.

Other changes, including extending transitional relief and continuing the Business Rate discount scheme whereby commercial premises used for retail and food and drink sales, i.e. restaurants and public houses, will receive a reduction of £1,500 from their Rating bill in April 2015.

Finally, the Government will continue the two per cent cap on the RPI increase in the Business Rates multiplier for the year from April 1, 2015.

Stephen Lofthouse, the Director who leads the Business Rates Valuation Team at Bettesworths Chartered Surveyors, said “It is important for all business to check that their Rateable Value, i.e. the amount upon which the Business Rate liability is calculated, is correct, and if necessary make an appeal as soon as possible. If they are a retail premises, restaurant, public house or premises selling goods, they should check that they are already receiving the Business Rate discount and if not, make an application to the Local Authority and then also to consider whether they are eligible for Small Business Rate relief.

ust about all of us will rent a property at some point in our lifetime, whether it be when we first leave home, when we change jobs or later in life to free up much needed cash, so we all have an interest in the lettings market.

Bradleys Estate Agents report that the lettings market is still very buoyant and 2015 has started as last year ended with a strong demand for all types of rental properties. Whilst this demand is strong there is a mismatch between this and the supply of available homes, meaning that for every property available there are often several people chasing after it.

Prospective tenants sometimes become disheartened because they find it hard to secure a suitable property.

Beverley Hopkins of Bradleys Paignton office said: “Here at Bradleys we have a diverse range of people applying for property and we do our best to try and help whatever their situation maybe.

“Tenants can of course play their part by making sure that they always pay their rent on time, have good credit history and keep their current home in a neat and tidy order.

“It would be nice to see a few more investors come into the lettings market.

“Currently buy to let rates are good and with the continued strong demand for

properties this is an attractive market place with good returns for anyone willing to invest.

“As a managing agent we have many individual landlords and we take the hassle away from them by vetting tenants and making sure their properties comply with all the legal requirements.

“We can also arrange the relevant buy to let mortgage via our adviser Peter Davies.

“If you are looking for a property to let or have an empty property we may be able to help. Please do not hesitate to contact us on 01803 557155.”

NEW YEAR PROPERTY REVIEW lettings news Increasing numbers of adult children still live at home. But the author of a new parenting guide tells LISA SALMON why it's best to let them go

Time for your children to fly the nest?

A

record 3.3 million young adults still live at home with their parents, presenting a whole new raft of challenges for mums and dads who can no longer rely on sanctions like the naughty step to ensure family harmony.

No matter how bad life with grown-up kids gets, deep down though, many parents don't want them to leave, says parenting consultant Gill Hines. That said, they often don't want to live with them either...

In a bid to help mums and dads tackle this thorny issue, Hines and Alison Baverstock, an associate professor of publishing and mother of four adult children, have written Later!: A Guide To Parenting A Young Adult.

"An awful lot of parents moan about their kids, but at the same time they don't want the kids to leave and they create a co-dependency," explains Hines.

"The parents think they have to treat them like children while they're living there, and the kids think they can't leave until they can afford a home as good as the one they've come from."

She says parents perpetuate this co-dependency by giving their kids things like lifts and money, and warns: "It's ridiculous, and it's not good for either of them. They're not allowing themselves to get on with their lives - the parent needs to move on as well as the child."

A recent survey of young adults who still live at home, and their parents, found 84 per cent of the parents still did their children's laundry for them, and a doting quarter even tidied their bedrooms.

And contrary to popular belief, the expense of moving out wasn't the only reason for young adults remaining in the family home. The thinkmoney.co.uk research found that one in six young adults still live with their parents simply because it makes their life easier.

Indeed, almost half admitted they did no food shopping, and the same proportion paid no rent.

"Young people say 'Why would I move?' They've got everything on a plate, which is great for them, but it isn't actually how life's supposed to be," says Hines.

She points out that too many young adults these days can't perform basic

they know they're getting a good deal by living there."

Hines says parents should have a conversation with their children about renegotiated 'adult' house rules as soon as they leave school, and the conversation should be ongoing at regular family meetings, as well as eating together as a family at least once a week.

"By the time they're 18, they should have an understanding that nothing comes for free. Tell them your responsibility for them ended the day they reached 18, and while you can't tell them what to do, you can lay down rules in the house because you pay the rent or mortgage," stresses Hines.

"Every parent's aim should be to get their child out and on their own. You should treat them in some respects the same way you would treat a lodger, and say if they don't meet the rules, they'll have to find another place to live."

While the book covers all aspects of a young adult's life, from jobs to social life and sex, it's not all about the kids.

Hines points out that the 'non-parent you' has been in the shade for however many years of age your child

is, and now that older and less familiar you needs to be nurtured and encouraged in much the same way as your child.

"All the parents I've met embrace the notion of freedom from the kids, but felt an enormous loss," she says.

"Being a parent is a hat we wear in life, and it's a very big one, particularly for women. They hate losing the sense of themselves as a parent.

"Things can become very quiet and a little staid when children leave home, and parents sometimes feel truly middle-aged, and miss the energy. They have to realise that this major part of their life has come to an end.

"A lot of parents want to be needed, but they need to see it's better for kids to move on with their lives."

household tasks like simple cooking, or doing the laundry.

"In your early twenties, it's time to start living your life independently," she says. "It really worries me how few young people know how to cope in the real world.

"Getting kids to think about what they want in life and how to get it is part of growing up, but we're not doing that because we're looking after everything for them."

Parents might choose to make it a house rule that adult children do their own laundry or change their own bedlinen - but if they don't do it, there's no point nagging, warns Hines.

Instead, parents need to negotiate with young adults to get things done.

"If they don't keep to their share of the bargain, then don't keep to your share, which might be buying food, mending things or doing the laundry."

Many adult children only pay a peppercorn rent (a nominal rental sum), or no rent at all, leaving their parents to meet the true cost of bills and food.

"It needs to be made absolutely clear to them how much it costs to run the house," she says. "They're not stupid -
