A Westcountry estate agent is doing its part to promote exercise for young people. Linden Homes is supporting a new mountain biking club at Blackpool School in Liverton, Newton Abbot. The team has won second place in the final of the Devon SSP Inter-schools cycling competition, which took place at Haldon Forest near Exeter. This puts them in contention for the Devon county finals. Biking club founder Andy Southcott said: “The uptake has been fantastic – we have 27 members, enabling us to have three teams for future events. “We’re delighted Linden Homes was able to help us by providing much-needed cycling jackets.”

Buyers with grand designs to build a house (or two) should check out two lots of undeveloped land in Kings Nympton, Umberleigh, with outline planning permission for two open-market building plots. Mark Chugg of Savills said: “This land at Heal Farm offers buyers the chance to build two homes in an idyllic situation offering southerly views across the countryside towards the village. “The freehold of the land is for sale by informal tender with vacant possession on completion.” The site is about 1.6 acres (0.65 hectares), and includes an orchard with linhay. For further details contact Katie Walker on 01392 455717 or kwalker@savills.com.

Landlord and tenant relationships are often rocky, but sometimes they border on the downright bizarre, as highlighted by new research by AA Home Membership. Landlords commonly complain about broken furniture and unkempt gardens, but many have encountered more unusual problems such as: ■ Tenants removing the boiler and taking it with them when they leave. ■ Restoring cars, leaving everything covered in a film of black oil. ■ Leaving underwear in the fridge. The study revealed that a total of 22% of landlords had had a dispute with their tenants, with more than half of these being about property damage.

This weekend is the first chance to sneak a peek at a new waterfront development three miles outside the centre of Plymouth. With its first homes due to be completed in July, Cavanna Homes’ new development, The Boatyard, at Oreston will accommodate 53 contemporary townhouses with two to four bedrooms. Oreston is a former fishing village which is increasing in popularity. It has a primary school, supermarket, newsagent, florist, hairdresser and pub. Oreston Quay is home to the Plym Yacht Club, and hosts a range of community events, including a carnival and concerts.

The development is close to the A379 route into the city, and the Mount Batten ferry which takes commuters and shoppers to the Barbican, Plymouth’s historic harbour. The houses at The Boatyard will have glazed facades and balconies, combined with traditional materials such as slate, stone, weatherboard cladding and render. Some have views of the Old Wharf and the nearby lake. Prospective buyers can choose from 13 designs, with features including garages, terraces, utility rooms, and estuary views. All have been built to a high standard, and

come with a ten-year NHBC warranty and parking for two cars. The Ketch home, pictured, is arranged over three storeys, and offers a large kitchen-dining room as well as a utility and WC on the ground floor. The first floor has a living room and study and an ensuite master bedroom. On the second floor are three further bedrooms, one en-suite, and a family bathroom. The marketing suite for The Boatyard is open. For more information, see www.cavannahomes.co.uk, call 01803 618678, or email theboatyard@ cavannahomes.co.uk.

10 property of the week

Tudor-style home has charm and character It’s a sky-blue day. Rooks busy themselves in the tree tops, and the bushes are raucous with spring birdsong. Situated on the edge of Milton Abbot, The Old Vicarage occupies an acre of peaceful, private space. In fact, this elegant, Grade II listed Victorian property nestles so snugly within a protective embrace of greenery it is virtually a village secret. Its presence, and proximity to nearby St Constantine and St Aegideus Church is only detected by a tell-tale cluster of tall chimneys protruding above the tree line. Owner General Sir Richard Lawson fell in love with the Tudorstyle property as soon as he saw it. He wanted a house built of stone, and he wanted to live in West Devon to be near his son. The Old Vicarage was a perfect choice – and he moved here, from Scotland, 14 years ago. Richard, as he prefers to be called, is a great admirer of this style of architecture. “The property was designed at the request of the Duchess of Bedford who wanted a really nice vicarage for the first vicar,” he says. “It is very elegant and expertly fitted out with high ceilings. It is a beautiful building constructed from granite. You don’t find houses like this now. In the 1800s they really did build them properly. All these stone blocks were hand hewed.” A further attraction was it being located in the heart of the village, yet having the illusion of being apart. You approach the former vicarage through electronically-operated wrought iron gates. Passing under a canopy of foliage, wheels crunch over a large gravel turning area before halting in front of the Tudor-style property. Bathed in April sunlight the building looks both imposing and inviting. Designed by the architect Edward Blore, it is constructed of stone-

Roger Malone finds a gem of a property tucked away in a lovely West Devon village dressed elevations under a gabled slate roof. Mullioned windows and the tall groups of diagonally-set chimneys add to the architectural effect. The date of the property, 1837, is set in stone above the door of the entrance porch. When first approaching it, Richard recalls that The Old Vicarage appeared less than at its best. “It was in a poor state – but I fell in love with it because the potential was so obvious.” He promptly set about improving it with new central heating, and new plumbing and electrics. Much to Richard’s delight, the elegantly-proportioned property with its high-ceilinged main reception rooms had a number of original period features, including gothic marble fireplaces, decorative cornicing and ceiling moulds. Originally, the single property was built as two houses – one for the vicar, and one for the staff. The demarcation of this Victorian social divide can be detected externally by the different roof heights. Oddly, at the time of construction,

It is easy to understand why General Sir Richard Lawson fell in love with this elegant Tudor-style property at first sight. Below, the six symmetrical triangular rosebeds which he restored there was no interior connection. Access was achieved by popping out of one front door – and into the other. However, at some time a previous owner combined the two properties internally, and Richard has made further beneficial enhancements. The two reception rooms, dining room and conservatory are accessed from the ‘L-shaped’ reception hall – as is the breakfast room, kitchen and study of the former staff quarters. Both first floors and attics are served by separate staircases – one elegantly cantilevered, the other more utilitarian. “The kitchen is still a bit old fashioned,” says Richard. “But it is my favourite room. All the villagers come in. We can all sit around the table and argue the toss.” Now, he finds the six bedrooms and large reception rooms are more than he requires. “I love the area and I love the people in the village. But I want somewhere that is smaller because I don’t need this space. “I like the house and I always have, but it is too big. I have rooms that I wander into out of curiosity!” he says of a property in excess of 20 rooms ranging over four floors from basement cellars to the attic.

The Old Vicarage, Milton Abbot, Tavistock Guide price £925,000

Further accommodation, and ideal for holiday let or extended family, is a detached dwelling incorporating a triple garage and workshop on the ground floor with first-floor living space comprising an open-plan sitting room/dining room, screened-off fitted kitchen and bedroom with an en-suite bathroom. The gardens and grounds surrounding the house offer far-reaching views across open countryside to-

wards Bodmin Moor. From the garden room, double-glazed doors open on to a formal garden which, thanks to Richard, incorporates the original wheel design of six symmetrical triangular rosebeds. “When I came here there were some roses planted there,” recalls Richard. “Then I found an old aerial photograph from the 1930s showing it from an earlier time. So, I put it back in the form of box hedges divided and

connected by gravel and paved paths, based on the pattern that was there many years ago. “It is part of the house’s history. We are the caretakers of such properties. We have the right to enjoy them but not alter them.”

Silent Witness star Emilia Fox tells Hannah Stephenson about the inspiration behind her glorious cottage garden At the end of a hard day’s filming, Silent Witness star Emilia Fox likes nothing better than to venture into her oasis of calm, with its walls of lavender, pretty clematis and fragrant roses. The south-facing garden, which complements her elegant Victorian home in west London, was lovingly created with the help of her garden designer pal, Sue Gernaey. Emilia says that if she could change her own career, she would become a gardener. “I’m constantly begging if I can come and work for Sue, so I can give everything up and become a gardener,” says Emilia, the daughter of actors Joanna David and Edward Fox. The garden has been a labour of love for the 39-year-old actress, who is the face of B&Q’s new campaign to replace all polystyrene packaging in its range of bedding plants and use non-peat compost. “When I first moved in, the garden was full of rocks and stones and lots of odd protruding wood, but it had a

lovely, huge bay tree and I’d always dreamed of having my own proper English country cottage garden. I’ve always found cottage gardens very romantic and I’m probably a bit of an old romantic. “So, we took the whole thing out

I’ve always found cottage gardens very romantic and started from scratch. It’s the most rewarding thing I’ve ever done. I’m a trial and error gardener so I always knew that the best thing to do would be to put in the things that would

come up each year. “Sue laughed at me because when it came to bulb planting time she asked how many I wanted to order and I just said, cram it full, and they’re all coming up now – all the tulips. It’s like a floral revolution out there. There are pinks, whites, and almost black tulips.” These include T. Mondial, Angelique, Queen of Night, Spring Green, Burgundy and Albion Star. She also has plenty of muscari and Allium Purple Sensation.

Gardeners’ diary This week in your garden: ● Plant evergreen trees and shrubs ● Put up windbreaks to protect new trees and shrubs ● Trim grey-leaved shrubs to keep them bushy ● Stake tall-growing perennials ● Deadhead daffodils and primroses ● Sow globe artichokes, which can be planted out on light or loamy soil in full sun ● Tomato plants started in January should be ready to move into their final pots or be planted directly into a glasshouse border ● Make sure you continue to lift and divide clumps of congested perennials and grasses ● Cut back lavatera hard, as new shoots will soon appear

from below the point where the variety is grafted on to the rootstock, where you see a lumpy bit on the main stem

● Tear off rose sucker shoots growing

Out and about

Emilia says that transforming her garden is the most rewarding thing she has ever done “I also wanted there to be a lot of roses because when I moved in I was having my little girl, who is called Rose. So, where you sit outside to eat, there are a lot of roses. “There’s also a wall of lavender by the table, leading on to a traditional lawn which is curved at the top and then surrounded by beds of roses, clematis and herbs, passion flowers and myrtle, all the things that make it

smell delicious in summer. “My favourite plant is the Natasha Richardson rose, a beautiful light pink rose with an old-fashioned scent. My sister got it for me in memory of Natasha, who died in a skiing accident in 2009, and it’s just outside the back door underneath the lavender wall.” Emilia also wanted to replicate some of the sensory elements of gardens she’d experienced in the US.

“When I lived in Los Angeles, everywhere you went there were delicious smells at night. I knew I couldn’t recreate the same thing but I wanted a similar feeling of every sense being stimulated when you go out into the garden.” This clear passion for gardening comes from her mother, she explains. “My mum has incredibly green fingers. My childhood memories are of hyacinths and paperwhites up the stairs, while the table was always full of wild flowers and sweet peas. Now, I buy a ridiculous amount of flowers and put them outside as well, so what you look out to at the moment is lots of beautiful burgundy ranunculas and tulips and tuberosas in those oldfashioned enamel jugs. “I’ve always felt that wherever you go, if you’ve got flowers it will feel like home.” Despite a busy acting career, Emilia tries to spend as much “therapeutic” time in the garden as she can. “It’s probably one of the most rewarding things, because you get to see the results.” She is supporting the B&Q Teabag Technology(TM), easyGrow(TM), recycled plant trays which contain enough virtually peat-free compost for as many as 20 of its bedding plants. Bedding plants are potted up in a self-contained biodegradable “teabag” made from corn starch, a renewable resource that is fully compostable. “It’s key that we care about the environment as much as how beautiful our gardens are,” she says.

Oh we do like to be beside the seaside...

How to get the look in your garden What you need: Tamarix tetrandra ● Originating from the south east Mediterranean, this graceful shrub has masses of tiny light pink flowers clustered in short spikes that cascade from arching branches, before leaves appear in May ● A tough shrub which will tolerate salty spray and wind ● Great for a mixed border, an informal hedge or a stand-alone specimen ● Well-drained soil and a sunny site gets best results ● Hard pruning is acceptable after flowering

Becky Sheaves enjoys a breath of sea air at The Garden Park, Trago Newton Abbot

Among the inspirational show gardens on permanent display at The Garden Park, Trago Mills is one that takes its theme from the wonderful and historical gardens along the coastline in Cornwall. Thanks to the proximity of the Gulf Stream, you’ll find the sort of plants in these gardens that originate from

Multi award-winning garden designer Paul Stone created the Trago show gardens

the sub-tropical regions of the world. At the end of the 19th century and into the 20th century, Cornish plant hunters travelled all over the world, including the far reaches of China and India. They came home laden with specimen plants that were planted up in the gardens of many of the county’s stately homes. The offspring of these original plant trophies form the basis of the many glorious hybrid varieties developed by horticulturists ever since. Paul Stone, the multi award-winning garden designer who created the show gardens at The Garden Park explains why he felt that showcasing this Cornish Seaside Garden was important. He says: “I love Cornwall and its magical world-famous gardens, and I live in Falmouth. Trago began in Cornwall so there is obviously a strong link there too. I wanted to give everyone a taste of Cornwall’s unique seaside romance, with a Mediterranean feel.” Taking inspiration from Cadgwith Bay and Falmouth Pavilions, Paul created a setting with a boathouse, a fishing boat, a stony shore and even a cave.

Hebe pinguifolia ‘Pagei’ ● A great low growing ground-covering evergreen shrub ● Sliver-grey foliage gives a great contrast against green foliage ● Best planted in groups ● Pretty white small flowers appear in May ● Looks great in tubs. Always use a soil-based compost (John Innes No. 3) ● Choose a sunny site when planting ● Try Hebe pinguifolia ‘Carl Teschner’

Cadgwith Bay and Falmouth Pavilions inspired Paul Stone’s seaside garden Paul, who has won numerous Gold Medals at Chelsea Flower Show and Hampton Court Flower Show, adds: “I gave George Watts, group building manager at Trago, the demanding

A taste of Cornwall’s unique seaside romance task of creating a seaside scene that would include waves that actually lap on the shore.” There is also a trickling stream

running between lush vegetation down to the sea, surrounded by Cornish palms, hydrangeas, fuchsia and a fine selection of half-hardy plants and stunning herbaceous perennials. Gina Zimmerman, outdoor plant manager at The Garden Park, has chosen some of her favourite plants from the Cornish Seaside Garden, see panel right. She says: “These musthave varieties are perfect for the Cornish climate – and would work along the Devon coast, too. “We’ve got a huge selection of lovely plants at The Garden Park and at extremely competitive prices this spring. So if you’re not sure what you want, just ask one of our team for advice on what would work best in your garden.”

● John Innes No. 3 Compost 20L just £1.99 ● Pick up some J Arthur Bowers Bonemeal 1kg just £1.49 ● Troughs from £1.65 each and pots from just 99p each ● All available at The Garden Park, Trago Mills along with thousands of other gardening

● Common name Judas Tree or Love Tree ● Small bushy tree makes it adaptable for smaller areas ● Very attractive, pea-shaped bright pink flowers wreathe the branches in late April/ May ● Full sun is essential to get the greatest amount of flowers ● Light pruning after flowering

Lanzion Farmhouse near Launceston has a homely feel to it and a great deal of charm, with mullioned windows, window seats and an open fireplace with a cloam oven

Farmhouse is full of charm

Lanzion Farmhouse is really very special. Nestled in the upper Kensey Valley between Launceston and the north coast on a warm south facing site, it is one of just four houses in a hamlet between Egloskerry and Tresmeer. The property, on the market with Kivells, has a lovely feel to it both internally and externally. Internally, all the principal reception rooms and bedrooms have a south facing

aspect, creating a light and airy atmosphere. Externally, the principal areas of garden also have a southerly aspect ensuring sun throughout the day. The property has been well maintained and sensitively updated in terms of kitchen and sanitary fittings. Throughout there is a great deal of charm and homely feel and the property is in a condition which can be moved into with the minimum of disturbance.

The accommodation comprises two reception plus study/hallway on the ground floor with three bedrooms and bathroom on the first floor. The interesting design of the mullioned windows adds to the charm of the house, both inside and out. These can be admired close up from the built in window seats which are a charming feature of the hall and one of the bedrooms. The main bedroom has two

south facing windows with lovely views across the valley. The sitting room, meanwhile, has an historic open fireplace with a traditional Cornish cloam oven, an earthenware construction in which bread and other baked goods would once have been cooked. Adjoining the property is a stone and slate barn which has electric light and power, and could provide additional accommodation or a self-con-

tained annexe, subject to planning permission. The garden has three apple trees, and in all directions there is wonderful scenery of outstanding natural beauty, be it the North Cornwall coast, Bodmin Moor, Dartmoor or the Tamar Valley. In particular, the attractions of the North Cornish coast including Tintagel, Bossiney, Trebarwith, Boscastle and Crackington Haven are within 13-18 miles,

with popular family beaches, quaint former fishing villages and simply breathtaking coastal path scenery. Few properties combine the benefits of a tranquil setting, yet near neighbours for security, a lovely warm setting and further potential in the way in which Lanzion Farmhouse does. Lanzion Farmhouse is on the market with Kivells in Launceston at ÂŁ349,950. Telephone 01566 777777 or visit www.kivells.com.

Get cracking for Decorating our houses for Easter is becoming as popular as “decking the halls” at Christmas. If you haven’t done anything about it yet, don’t worry: here’s a quick guide to give your home an easy lift for the Easter Sunday. “Decorating the home for Easter doesn’t need to involve spending a fortune,” says Anna Shepphard, head of seasonal buying at Sainsbury’s. “You can simply display an array of colourful bottles or vases containing fresh spring flowers to create a stylish mantel display, and then add pretty pastel tableware for the perfect table setting. “Welcome guests by filling a cookie jar with baked goods and place a large, decorative bowl or wicker basket filled with fresh fruit and chocolate eggs on the kitchen table for a centrepiece. “Involve the children in the fun of popping accessories around the house, such as wooden chick and bunny ornaments, then drape Easter bunting over a doorway or around a mirror.” If the sun shines on Easter Sunday, it’s the perfect opportunity to move the party outdoors. Pretty up the patio with seasonal blooms in jugs (or tubs from the garden centre), and decorate the table with stylish paper tableware. Here are a few easy touches to make your home look great: TREE TREAT Easter trees are a wonderful and fun way of celebrating Easter. They are a Scandinavian tradition, but with a firm foothold in Britain. You can buy a ready-made tree, or just display a handful of twigs or branches in a vase, hung with tiny egg or chick decorations. If you can’t find any of these, use pastel ribbon.

Sparkling chrome and luxury fittings feature in this penthouse apartment which has stunning views of the Tamar Valley from its 30 metre-long kitchen/living room/dining room. The master bedroom has an en-suite bathroom and a dressing room. The two further bedrooms are also en-suite. There’s also a garage. Agents: Bradleys, Saltash, 01752 845488, www.bradleys-estate-agents.co.uk

CHICKENS AND EGGS The chickens are laying again, and Lent’s austerity is over. Bring on the cakes! Both chickens and eggs make fun

It’s not too late for a few lastminute touches to make your home look fabulous for Easter, says Gabrielle Fagan Easter centrepieces or decorations. You can make them as obvious or as subtle as you like: with statues, ceramics, wall prints, or even window decorations. If you already have chicken paraphernalia, press them into Easter service with a ribbon around their necks.

Chickens and eggs make fun Easter centrepieces or fun decorations Or, buy an accent piece – many supermarkets are carrying them, as well as your local gift shops. Dyeing eggs is always fun: invest in an egg dyeing kit (Hobbycraft does one), or simply boil them together with gorse blooms to make them yellow. (Don’t strip one bush of all its blooms – spread the picking.) Dyed eggs look wonderful in a tray, bowl or basket on straw, grass or moss.

TOP TABLE A themed table sets the mood instantly. The simplest way to achieve this is with fun Easter napkins, and try to match your table linens to the colour scheme. Use fresh flowers, the Easter tree, your chickens and eggs, or a combination of all to decorate the table. If you want to go all the way, invest in pretty china or new egg cups. The latter will delight children and could make inexpensive gifts. BUNNY BUYS Nothing says Easter like bunnies, and it’s essential to have a few of these around. If you have small children or grandchildren, raid their store of soft toys for bunnies. Charity shops are another great source of these. Spruce them up for the occasion with a ribbon bow in lavender or yellow, and perch them around the house or garden. If you’re placing your guests at the table, draw bunnies on the nametags, or cut your nametags in the shape of a rabbit. If you’re looking for a few lastminute bunny buys, try the Poly Bunny from John Lewis, the valuefor-money Easter Bunny Decorations from Poundland, or Talking Tables’ fun bunny range.

Home truths by Paula Nicholls Interior design expert I needed a weekend away as I have been busy to the point of exhaustion recently. I’m currently working on a handful of projects that could each be game changers. I enjoy it and feel a sense of massive achievement as another mighty administrative barrier is conquered, but a holiday was definitely required with the people I love. We opted for a holiday in Devon, staying in a lock-keeper’s cottage (pictured below), which is lovely. We leave the car a mile away and carry our holiday requirements in a rucksack and wheelie suitcase that chinks over the pathway. The place is simple, no TV or Wi-Fi, with tasteful furniture and a woodstove that throws heat out all weekend. Our dog, Maggie, curls up by the fire. She had a cancerous lump removed a few days before and is flitting between feeling sorry for herself and her usual frantic abandon, and we all sit, tell tales and drink and each of us takes time to tell her what a lovely girl she is, and how brave. We adore her and she adores us back, it’s a reciprocal relationship. Although I work in the creative industries, very little time is actually spent creating. Mostly I’m adding figures on an Excel sheet and after about two weeks poring over them, they add up correctly. Designs are imagined in my head for months until the day comes when I can commit them to paper, or rather screen. Colours are inspired for me as much by hedgerows or stormy evenings as seaside detritus glimpsed against pebbles or the shade of someone’s coat in the Co-op next to a cardboard box. The idea that we can only be moved by a scenic view or a renowned composer is not true. I’m inspired by all kinds of things – death, birth, triumph, old ladies chatting to you about a lovely day, cats entwining. Our little holiday cottage, that at one time housed a family in its tiny rooms, is secure on its own grassy

island in the River Exe, although we are connected to Topsham by a tiny ferry, just big enough for Mike the ferryman, a few dogs, whippet-fit walkers and us, plumper and slightly blushed by wine. As we punt across the river, the church on the opposite side peels its bells. From the boat we see a couple descend the steps, a sea breeze and grey sky spinning the bride’s headdress around her head. Best of all, though, is the sound of cheers and laughter from across the water. It brings tears to my eyes, and I have to pretend the wind has made my eyes water. A long stretch of steps link the churchyard to the waterside, along which men in black

I’m inspired by all kinds of things – death, birth, triumph, old ladies chatting, cats entwining uniforms with red and gilt adornments form a guard of honour as the happy couple descend. My husband pipes up and reminds me of the film Far from the Madding Crowd where Fanny Brice pitches up at the wrong church and her beloved Sergeant Troy is waiting in another, his love turning to fury. We feel relaxed and unburdened, for the time being, by thoughts of Excel sheets, as the bells ring on.

50 Looking for a holiday home? The best cottages selected by Gill Nicholls of Helpful Holidays Curlew Cottage, Cawsand, Cornwall, £450,000

holiday homes

How to choose a Miles Kevin of Chartsedge estate agency provides some pointers on selecting the right agent to sell your home There are many factors that can make all the difference to a successful sale of a holiday home. Based on my many years of experience with a company specialising in such sales in the South West, here is what I have learned about this sector of the property market. 1. Local knowledge

Fantastic sea views, a sunny garden and beach and pubs within metres mean this has great potential as a holiday home. It needs a bit of modernisation. Over a 30-week season I predict it could achieve £18,500. Agents: Marchand Petit, Millbrook, 01752 829000, www.marchandpetit.co.uk

Jasmine Cottage, Stokeinteignhead, £375,000

Strangely this can be a disadvantage. A local agent can be blinkered in the way they know what local people will pay for a full residential house. A person who is looking to live in the house they purchase will not know to factor in the holiday letting income that such a property could produce. A local agent may not know what a buyer from outside their area would be prepared to pay. This could lead to them undervaluing your property. 2. Understand holiday letting Choose an agent who has had experience of this market and knows about changeovers, letting costs and the regulations. A knowledgeable agent needs to convey to a buyer the benefits and the implications of holiday letting a property. 3. Experience and expertise Ask the agent how many properties they have sold to second-home owners recently. If they only sell to local people they may not be the right agent for you.

This cottage, in a Devon village with a good gastropub, is stunning inside and out. The coast and Dartmoor are in easy reach. I anticipate over a 30-week season it could achieve £17,000. Agents: Bradleys, Shaldon, 01626 873757, www.bradleys-estateagents.co.uk

37 Barnes Meadow, Uplyme, Dorset, £535,000

4. How far does he cast his net? Most agents only advertise locally and deal within a small geographical area. Most holiday home buyers come from out of county from throughout the UK. Advertising in Coast

Magazine, a regional morning paper, such as the Western Morning News, The Telegraph, Sunday Times and issuing press releases means that the agent reaches the widest audience of potential buyers. 5. Knowledge of the whole second home market Most second-home buyers do not look in a specific village or coastal town. They have a requirement of say North Coast Cornwall or South

Many buyers want the killer sea view and they don’t care where the property is Devon. The type of property they buy is more important than where it is. For instance, many buyers want the killer sea view and they don’t really care where the property is. Choose an agent that has access to all areas. 6. What buyers has he for your property? A good agent will know of a couple of prospective buyers for your property. For instance, I recently went to see a

house that was due to be built just outside Newquay, a stunning contemporary house with sea views and a great roof terrace. I had a buyer on my database who was looking for a house with a sea view, but did not want to be on the north coast. I knew the house would be perfect for him in so many ways. I managed to get the prospective buyer to see the site. He fell in love with it, despite earlier reservations about the north coast, and bought it off plan on the spot for more than the anticipated price. 7. Do you choose an agent with a shop near to your holiday home? This is really not necessary as 85% of buyers start their search on line and most never enter an estate agent’s office. A serious second-home buyer would not walk past an estate agent’s window and buy a property on a whim. 8. On call seven days a week

With lovely views, and 1.5 miles from Lyme Regis, this house caters for an extended family break. Based on a 30 week season, I estimate it could achieve £21,500. Agents: Martin Diplock, Lyme Regis, 01297 445500, www.martindiplock.co.uk ■ The estimated income figures above are net of agency fees and VAT, but not running costs. For more advice on buying holiday let property, call 01647 434071 or visit www.helpfulholidays.co.uk

Like most people second home buyers lead busy lives and as they live out of the county can only view or require information over the weekend. Is your agent available to speak to even on a Sunday?

Saltwind at Hartland, North Devon, a two-bedroom home, was on the market with a local agent for almost a year, but Chartsedge sold it within six days of receiving instructions

Ask the experts Your holiday let questions answered Q. What type or location is most popular for a holiday let? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; WA, Teignmouth A. Melanie Cassidy, property manager for Helpful Holidays, says: When selecting a holiday home, visitors can be looking for everything from quaint cottages, such as this one, pictured below, to state-of-the-art eco-houses and everything in between. However, what they all expect is a property at least as comfortable and wellequipped as their own home. Whatever its size, it should have plenty of living space, and smart, clean kitchens and bathrooms. It needs a good heating system and woodburners and open fires are popular too. A pretty garden is a big attraction, preferably private and enclosed and ideally with a pleasant outlook. Lovely views are a good selling point yearround and off-road or allocated parking is a big advantage.

Q. Why does a cottage in the same road achieve more bookings than mine? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; DS, Weston-Super-Mare A. Gaby Wakley, property manager for Helpful Holidays, says:

With stunning sea views, Rockville, Portreath, Cornwall, is a fourbedroom family house with electric gates, and large terraces, and just metres from the sandy beach. It has an estimated holiday letting income of ÂŁ40,000 per annum. It is for sale for offers in excess of ÂŁ480,000

SATURDAY APRIL 19 2014

The holiday cottage industry is increasingly competitive, but there are ways to ensure your property books well. Fundamentally, you need to own the right type of property in the right location. Scrupulous cleanliness, quality decor, extra services and effective housekeeping will increase its popularity and its income. The most effective way of maximising bookings is to get the pricing right. At the heart of the most profitable self-catering properties is a good partnership between agency and owner. Some agencies

inflate the income they predict a property will generate to persuade the owner to join them. Here at Helpful Holidays we prefer to advise on realistic prices.

Q. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re letting our cottage for the first time. What information should we provide for our guests? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; HT, Perranporth A. Bev Plunkett, property manager for Helpful Holidays, says: An information folder specifically compiled for your cottage is essential. We recommend an A4 ring binder with laminated pages or plastic sleeves, clearly labelled and left in a prominent place, with a welcome note at the front. Basic information should include what to do in an emergency, with the cottage address plus postcode and OS map reference for the emergency services, the phone number if the cottage has one and location of the closest public telephone, as well as phone numbers for you and your caretaker and agency if relevant. Contact details for facilities such as an A&E department, and doctors should also be listed. Appliance manuals can be incorporated, or you may prefer to file them separately. But you should clarify in the folder the location of the stopcock, gas tap, fuse box, heating and hot water controls, first aid box, torch, spare bulbs, and explain the rubbish collection and fuel supply if you have a fire or woodburner. Holidaymakers appreciate advice on places to visit, including places to eat and shop, and the nearest cashpoint machines. If you have a question for our holiday home experts, please send it via email to: wmnproperty@ westernmorningnews.co.uk

Going online to find reliable builders, plumbers and other tradespeople may sound unlikely, but there are plenty of websites which can help you locate someone you can trust with the least amount of hassle. One such is the TrustMark website â&#x20AC;&#x201C; www.trustmark.org.uk â&#x20AC;&#x201C; where you can search for the trade you need by postcode. TrustMark is a government-endorsed quality mark, and tradespeople awarded it will have had their technical skills checked through onsite inspections, and their trading record and financial status checked. TrustMark traders agree to a code of practice that covers things like health and safety and customer care, and should be able to offer an insurance-backed warranty, among other things. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a complaints procedure if things go wrong â&#x20AC;&#x201C; go to the website to find out more. Your local trading standards office should also help with finding reputable tradespeople, as many have a register of builders and other contractors, usually recommended by local residents. Those on the register should have been vetted by trading standards and agreed to a code of practice. Another trading standards scheme worth looking up is Buy With Confidence. Businesses belong-

Putting in a bit of work to find the right workman is always worthwhile, says Julia Gray ing to it have been vetted and approved by trading standards to make sure they operate legally, honestly and fairly. You can search for local tradespeople on the Buy With Confidence website â&#x20AC;&#x201C; www.buywithconfidence.gov.uk. The Local Authority Assured Trader Scheme Network (LAATSN) links some of the schemes run by local trading standards. Although the schemes are different, they have certain things in common, including giving the public a way of finding reliable local businesses, and offering help and advice if things go wrong. Check with your local trading standards office for the trader schemes they operate â&#x20AC;&#x201C; their contact details can be found at www.tradingstandards.gov.uk. If you want the hassle taken out of finding a home-improvement pro, B&Qâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Homefit service

(www.diy.com) is worth a try. Whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a small job, such as replacing a tap, or a big project, such as fitting a new kitchen or bathroom, Homefit offers fixed prices and only uses approved tradespeople, so you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to weed out the rogues. Better still, the work is guaranteed, giving you peace of mind long after the tradesperson has driven off. Best of all, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to deal with problems, should any arise, because the Homefit call centre operates seven days a week and will organise everything for you, which can be worth its weight in gold, especially if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re short of time. Websites, such as Checkatrade.com, RatedPeople.com and TrustATrader.com can be really useful, but they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give the same assurances or make the same checks as government and trading standards-backed sites/schemes.
